Tradisi Ritual Bulan Suro Dalam Perspektif Islam Didesa Telaga Jernih, Kecamatan Secanggang, Kabupaten Langkat

This research aims to find out the meaning and purpose in each implementation of the Suroan tradition from an Islamic perspective in the Javanese tribe by taking research in Telaga Jernih Village, Secanggang District, Langkat Regency. This type of research uses a qualitative descriptive method that describes how the Suroan tradition is implemented and what the Islamic perspective is. Data was obtained through observation, interviews and documentation, followed by descriptive narrative presentation and analysis of the data. Every ritual in Tealaga Jernih Village has a purpose and purpose, and each Javanese community understands it differently. A ritual or action cannot exist without a purpose. The reason a ritual is performed is because it is considered important, useful and beneficial. From an Islamic point of view, a tradition or culture basically has meaning and benefits for the community itself, so that there is no conflict in its implementation. The tradition of one Suro carried out by the people of Telaga Jernih does not conflict with Islamic Aqidah and sharia at all, because in every tradition of implementation there are Islamic values and teachings such as prayer, gratitude, socialization and friendship.

Traditional herbal medicine regulatory implementation in Ethiopia: a qualitative study.

Background: Approximately 80% of the Ethiopian population predominantly depends on herbal medicines (HMs) for their primary healthcare needs. Nevertheless, worries regarding the safety, efficacy, and standard of herbal-based treatments have been escalating due to the lack of strong regulatory frameworks. Therefore, the study aimed to assess the presence of regulatory frameworks for traditional herbal medicines and their enforcement in Ethiopia. Methods: The qualitative-phenomenological study design was conducted from November 2021 to March 2022 G.C. The study included 25 regulatory official key informants (KIs) who work for national and regional medicine regulatory agencies, and 15 traditional herbal medicine (THM) practitioners who work at the regional level were purposefully selected for an in-depth interview (IDI). An in-depth interview guide was developed through the purposive sampling technique. The collected data were analyzed using thematic content analysis techniques. Results: The study found that the current national medicine proclamation is deemed inadequate in the regulation of THM. Both conventional and traditional herbal medicines are regulated by a single agency. Weak legal enforcement, a lack of government commitment and support, resource constraints, and inadequate regulatory tools are the main challenges faced in THM regulation. Conclusion: Overall, the study found inadequate legal frameworks and weak THM regulatory implementations in Ethiopia. Consequently, it is critical for all regulatory authorities in Ethiopia to exert their utmost efforts to effectively regulate THM.

Educational Values in the Mepopoidulu Tradition in the Bada Tribe of Poso Regency, Indonesia

This study discusses the Mepopoidulu tradition implemented by the Bada tribe, Poso Regency, in Indonesia. The aim of this study is to reveal the cultural values contained in the Meppoidulu tradition in the Bada tribe. This study used a qualitative method with an ethnography approach. The data was gathered through field observation, in-depth interviews with local communities, and written document analysis. The data, then, was analyzed using data reduction techniques, data presentation, and data verification, and ended with checking validity and drawing conclusions. The results of this study show that the implementation of the Mepopoidulu tradition consists of five main elements: Pousuana Katuwon'na Tauna, and the womb salvation ceremony during a mother's first pregnancy. Second, Pompetimbali Poadakana Tauna. Namely, manners are polite habits agreed upon in the social environment between people when they are adults in the stages leading to marriage. Third, poparewa, which implies ownership, means that humans will always live and strive and will own and have property rights. The fourth is Maroro'u, which means the implementation of expressions of gratitude to the almighty creator God for the agricultural harvests of the Bada community. The fifth is Mpegiwuw, which sanctions or punishes those who violate the traditional rules/customs of the Bada tribe. The educational values contained in the mepopoidulu tradition include the Value of religious education, an awareness deeply manifested in the depths of the human heart as human nature. Then, the Value of social education is a collection of attitudes and feelings manifested through behavior that influences the behavior of a person with values. Furthermore, the Value of moral education is a way of life that differentiates humans from other creatures. Cultural education is a value that has been embedded and agreed upon by the Bada tribe in the form of habits, behavior, and responses to a situation after or before it occurs. Finally, the Value of character education, which is an effort designed and implemented systematically to help understand human behavior, including the Value of caring, the ability to be sensitive to the needs of other people, and the ability to feel the feelings of different people and put oneself in other people's situations (empathy).

A priori parameter estimation of space SAR operating in the sliding spotlight scan mode and in the terrain observation mode by progressive scans

In the detailed mode of operation of the synthetic aperture radar (SAR), an improved level of geometric resolution of the terrain in a small frame is achieved. If, however, the frame length exceeds the size of the bottom trace in the azimuthal direction, then it is necessary to use a sliding spotlight operation mode (SSL), in which antenna pattern is scanned in the swath along the azimuth angle. To increase the width of the swath, ScanSAR mode is used. In the traditional implementation of this mode, image serration occurs. This effect can be eliminated by using terrain observation by progressive scans mode (TOPS)). In this mode, when shooting a frame, the antenna pattern runs quickly and alternately through all the specified partial swath bands. Despite the presence of a large number of publications in domestic and foreign literature devoted to the analysis of the main parameters of SAR operating in SSL and TOPS modes, there is a need to clarify calculation methods and increase the number of system parameters issued by them, which generally determine the basic appearance of the equipment. The purpose of the work is to clarify and detail the presentation of the methodology for a priori estimation of an increased number of parameters describing the main system characteristics of space SAR operating in SSL and TOPS. The paper develops and describes in detail a methodology with an exhaustive list of calculation ratios for a priori estimation of parameters describing the main system characteristics of space SAR operating in SSL and TOPS. Based on it, algorithms and software modules have been developed that allow you to perform calculations and display the results in a visual graphical form. Examples of computer calculations of 12 system parameters dependencies on the angle of sight of space radars operating in these two modes are given. The application of the developed methodology makes it possible to quickly perform an a priori assessment of a variety of basic system parameters of space radars operating in SSL and TOPS modes, which facilitates the selection of the most acceptable basic appearance of the equipment for practical implementation.

Solidaritas Sosial pada Tradisi Panjang Mulud Nabi di Desa Sukarame Kecamatan Cikeusal Kabupaten Serang Banten

The implementation of the long tradition of mulud in Sukarame Village found several unique features. These include processions showing the luxury of long mules as well as creating road congestion, thereby disrupting public traffic. There is an obligation to pay a joint contribution of around Rp. 500,000, but the economic capacity of each resident of Sukarame Village is different; however, people who are less well off are relieved to contribute half of what has been determined because the people of Sukarame Village have a sense of concern for others and uphold a high sense of social solidarity. Even though they are free to pay half, it also creates a sense of social jealousy for other parts of society. This research uses a qualitative paradigm using ethnographic methods. The research aims to describe the phenomenon that occurs regarding social solidarity in the long tradition of mulud. The data collection techniques use field observation, interviews, and documentation. Meanwhile, data analysis uses data collection techniques, data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions, or verification. The results of the research found that social solidarity was built on the long tradition of the Prophet's mulud, namely: the procession activities were quite well established, making relationships closer, making the sense of solidarity stronger because a sense of kinship had been formed by itself, making them prioritize each other's public interests rather than personal interests. The existence of mutual cooperation activities includes making long houses in the form of houses. The creativity that is possessed makes community relations closer, making solidarity stronger, and by doing mutual cooperation, creating a sense of mutual help. The existence of deliberation activities, including the placement of days and the formation of committees with the involvement of various parties, can foster a sense of unity and a sense of shared destiny. With the ngariung activity, there is a shared belief in gaining blessings, safety, and maintaining the beliefs that are held.

Geographical Learning through Traditional Practices: The Case of Assuro Maca in Labakkang, Pangkep Indonesia

This research aims to determine the process of the assuro maca tradition of the Labakkang sub-district community, Pangkep district. The process in this case includes the history of the beginning of the assuro maca tradition, the development of the Assuro maca tradition and the continuation of the Assuro maca tradition. This type of research is qualitative descriptive research. Data collection methods are through interviews, participatory observation and documentation in obtaining primary data to be used as research results which are supported by secondary data sourced from studies of scientific literature. The data analysis techniques used are data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results show that the beginning of the assuro maca tradition began when Islam entered the archipelago. The development of the assuro maca tradition, in the past, its implementation was carried out in a large house which was usually called Arajang, but as time progressed, people now had private homes that were capable of doing so, so the implementation of the assuro maca tradition was carried out in their own homes. The potential for the assuro maca tradition is very large due to the values of brotherhood and togetherness inherent in this tradition.

PANDANGAN SOSIOLOGI HUKUM ISLAM TERHADAP TRADISI MAPPATOPO PADA JAMA’AH HAJI SUKU BUGIS PERANTAUAN DI KABUPATEN FAKFAK

The difference traditions from each region in Indonesia makes them unique and has their own characteristics also. One of them comes from the South Sulawesi area, namely the Mappatoppo tradition. In the application of this tradition, there are several different views, therefore the author will explain how this tradition is seen from the perspective of Islamic law. This research uses the field research method, by collecting data based on the results of observations and interviews with some people. The Mappatopo tradition is a tradition of awarding titles Hajj who carried out by the overseas Bugis community in Fakfak Regency after performing the Hajj pilgrimage. The results of this research show that from the perspective of Islamic law, there are several deviations in the implementation of this Mappatopo tradition, namely the pilgrimage procession carried out by someone strange, the use of songko’ haji (head covering) for women who do not cover their private parts completely, and excessive use of jewelry (gold) and excessive decoration (Tabbaruj). According to the limitation theory of Muhammad Syahrur, there is no prohibition on implementing it as long as it can be applied according to limits that are in accordance with the teachings of the Shari'a, neither more nor less than what has been determined by the Shari'a.

Makala-Kalaan Old Tradition in Suter Village, Kintamani District, Bangli Regency

Education is an effort to improve the quality of human life which essentially aims to humanize humans, mature them and change behavior for the better. Education does not only take place at school, but the environment also takes part in this. The environment is the unity of space with all objects, forces, conditions and living creatures, including humans and their behavior, which influence the lives and welfare of humans and other living creatures. In this social environment, a child begins to socialize with the wider community and begins to become familiar with social norms. Culture is also a system of knowledge and also as ideas that a society has. In relation to culture which actually contains elements of education, there is a tradition called Makala-kalaan Tua which is part of the social life of the community in Suter Village, Kintamani District, Bangli Regency. Through this research, researchers want to analyze the implementation of the Makala-kalaan Tua tradition in terms of educational philosophy. To explain the problem above, the author uses qualitative research. In this case, the author was directly involved in collecting data by means of observation, documentation and interviews with informants in Suter Village. Apart from that, this research uses types of library data such as books, journals, or previously existing scientific works that have a correlation with the research being carried out. To answer the problem, researchers used Constructivism Theory. From the research conducted, findings were obtained, namely that the implementation of the Makala-kalaan Tua tradition in Suter Village, Kintamani District, Bangli Regency in terms of educational philosophy contains elements of activeness, creativity and innovation. Where these three elements constitute the true essence of education. Because in an educational process, activeness is very important because it influences the results of the education itself. Then creativity and innovation are the goals to be achieved in every educational process.

Tradisi Tari Ngebeng Dalam Perspektif Hukum Islam

The background to the problem of this research is looking at the habits of the people of Rambutan Masam Village, which to this day still preserve the tradition of the Ngebeng Dance, where the dance shows men dancing in a bancian style, plus the costumes and make-up of the men are really made to resemble Woman. The main problem in this research is: what is the process of implementing the Ngebeng Dance tradition in Rambutan Masam Village, and what is the perspective of Islamic law on this problem.This research is a field research conducted in Rambutan Masam Village. The population is several people who understand the history of the ngebeng dance, such as heads of traditional institutions, community leaders, while the sampling technique used was purposive sampling, namely 10 people who were directly involved. in the implementation of the ngebeng tradition and the researchers interviewed directly. Because to get data in the field it is collected by observation and interviews. Next in analyzing. The data writer used an empirical juridical approach method, because in discussing the research problem he used legal materials, both written and unwritten laws or both primary legal materials and secondary legal materials.The results of the research show that the process of implementing the ngebeng dance tradition is still preserved to this day and still maintains the content of the dance as taught by the ancestors, where men in the dance are dressed in such a way as to resemble women. So this dance tradition according to Islamic law is haram even though it aims to entertain.

Analisis Segmentasi Pelanggan Toko Online Marketplace Berdasarkan Recency, Frequency, Monetary, Time, Satisfaction (Rfmts) Menggunakan Algoritma K-Medoids Clustering

The marketplace is an e-commerce website that applies traditional market concepts and implements them online. Due to the rapid development of the times, a business will seek various ways to maintain its business so that it continues to grow and generate a high income. One way is to build and maintain long-term relationships with customers. Therefore, it is necessary to implement a marketing strategy based on customer relationship management, all of which aims to increase turnover and profit while retaining customers. From these problems, this study applies customer segmentation to detect diversity among customers, so those segments represent potential customers to improve marketing strategies. This segmentation needs to consider the value of the customer's recency, frequency, monetary, time, and satisfaction (RFMTS) variables. Recency is the customer's length of time since the last payment. Frequency is how often customers make transactions. Monetary is the number of transactions made by the customer. Time is the time interval between two consecutive purchases by a customer. Satisfaction is the level of customer satisfaction based on the total rating and number of reviews. This study uses the K-Medoids Clustering algorithm to perform segmentation according to customer characteristics. This study uses primary data from a database of one of the online marketplace stores in Indonesia.

Design of Reconfigurable Logic Block Based Sequential Circuits Using Look Up Table Logics

Reconfigurable sequential circuits find applications in various digital systems, including communication networks, data processing units, embedded systems, and FPGA-based designs. Their ability to adapt and reconfigure their functionality onthe-fly allows them to accommodate dynamic requirements and optimize the use of hardware resources. Traditional implementations of sequential circuits involve static configurations, where the logic and functionality are fixed during synthesis. While these methods are straightforward to design and implement, they lack adaptability and cannot be modified without redesigning the entire circuit. The proposed method involves the utilization of a dedicated Reconfigurable Logic Block (RLB) within the sequential circuits, allowing for dynamic configuration changes without altering the overall circuit structure. The RLB can be programmed to provide different logic functions using look up tables, multiplexers, enabling the sequential circuit such as counters and shift registers to change its behaviour.

Implementation of FIR Filters through Inner product Units and Parallel Accumulations

Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters are pivotal in digital signal processing, finding applications in diverse fields like audio processing, telecommunications, and biomedical signal analysis. This work presents an enhanced implementation methodology for FIR filters utilizing inner product computation and parallel accumulations. In the existing, FIR filters are typically implemented using convolution techniques, basic adders, and multipliers, which involve sequential processing and intensive computational resources. This method often leads to latency issues and limits real-time applications. Moreover, traditional implementations suffer from inefficiencies in utilizing hardware resources optimally, leading to suboptimal performance. The proposed methodology overcomes these limitations by leveraging inner product computations and parallel accumulation techniques. By exploiting inherent parallelism in the filtering process, the proposed method significantly reduces latency and enhances throughput.

The Values of Islamic Education in The Maintenance of Bodies in Surau Gadang Village, Padang City

The organization of funerals is an integral part of the life of the Muslim community, and in Surau Gadang Village, aspects of Islamic education play a central role in guiding every stage of the process. This study aims to explore the form and implementation of the traditional tradition of death in Surau Gadang Village, as well as the values of Islamic education contained in it. This study used participatory observation methods and interviews to document the process of organizing funerals and analyze the values of Islamic education that color every step. These results are expected to make a positive contribution to the understanding and implementation of Islamic education values in everyday life, especially in the context of organizing Muslim community funerals in Surau Gadang Village, Padang City. The form and implementation of the traditional tradition of death in Surau Gadang Village is the gathering of the community of five tribes before the bathing process begins, using carano when bathing the corpse, wearing clothes and deta when lining the male corpse and wearing mukena when covering the female corpse, and carrying out the mayik maenvironment process before the body is brought to the grave.

Fish age reading using deep learning methods for object-detection and segmentation

Abstract Determination of individual age is one essential step in the accurate assessment of fish stocks. In non-tropical environments, the manual count of ring-like growth patterns in fish otoliths (ear stones) is the standard method. It relies on visual means and individual judgment and thus is subject to bias and interpretation errors. The use of automated pattern recognition based on machine learning may help to overcome this problem. Here, we employ two deep learning methods based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The first approach utilizes the Mask R-CNN algorithm to perform object detection on the major otolith reading axes. The second approach employs the U-Net architecture to perform semantic segmentation on the otolith image in order to segregate the regions of interest. For both methods, we applied a simple postprocessing to count the rings on the output masks returned, which corresponds to the age prediction. Multiple benchmark tests indicate the promising performance of our implemented approaches, comparable to recently published methods based on classical image processing and traditional CNN implementation. Furthermore, our algorithms showed higher robustness compared to the existing methods, while also having the capacity to extrapolate missing age groups and to adapt to a new domain or data source.

Tradisi Adat Pernikahan Mulia Pada Masyarakat Desa Rubit Ditinjau Dari Prespektif Agama Katolik

This study aims to find out how the implementation of the traditional traditions of noble marriages in Rubit Village and the perspective of the Catholic religion on noble marriages. This research method was carried out with a qualitative descriptive approach. The data sources used are primary data sources and secondary data sources. The informants involved in this research were the traditional leaders of Rubit Village, community leaders and the parish priest of the Holy Cross of Koangrotat. Data collection techniques used are observation techniques, interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques include data collection, data reduction, drawing conclusions and verification. The research results obtained are that noble marriage is the most respected marriage because it contains the most noble and sacred values ​​to maintain human dignity. So that noble marriage is processed in an open, orderly and respectable manner and is planned based on the perspective of custom and religion. The perspective of the Catholic religion on noble marriages is that marriages are considered sacred because in noble marriages the rite of opening the veil is performed which is a symbol that the couple has not lived together.

Explicit solutions for the asymptotically optimal bandwidth in cross-validation

Abstract We show that least-squares cross-validation methods share a common structure that has an explicit asymptotic solution, when the chosen kernel is asymptotically separable in bandwidth and data. For density estimation with a multivariate Student-t(ν) kernel, the cross-validation criterion becomes asymptotically equivalent to a polynomial of only three terms. Our bandwidth formulae are simple and noniterative, thus leading to very fast computations, their integrated squared-error dominates traditional cross-validation implementations, they alleviate the notorious sample variability of cross-validation and overcome its breakdown in the case of repeated observations. We illustrate our method with univariate and bivariate applications, of density estimation and nonparametric regressions, to a large dataset of Michigan State University academic wages and experience.

Efficient parallelism in Breadth-First Search: A comprehensive analysis and implementation

The Breadth-First Search (BFS) entails a systematic traversal of a given graph, G = (V, E), layer by layer, starting from a specific vertex. Recognized as a cornerstone methodology for graph exploration, the importance of BFS has skyrocketed, especially with the increasing demands of graph-based data processing. However, as the vertex count expands, traditional serial implementations reveal their limitations, faltering in terms of time and space efficiency. This paper aims to contrast the efficiencies of standard BFS with its parallelized iteration. Introducing a shared-memory model of level-synchronous parallel BFS, the approach integrates optimizations to navigate the challenges posed by implicit barriers and critical sections. Employing the Graph500 benchmark, this parallel methodology is meticulously evaluated, highlighting the speedup concerning various thread counts. Initial findings unveil a compelling pattern: speedup generally correlates positively with the number of active threads. However, if the thread count breaches the system's inherent capacity, the speedup hits a plateau, showing only marginal fluctuations without significant increases. These statistical revelations not only vouch for the advantages of BFS parallelization but also emphasize a critical insight: judiciously increasing thread count, up to a system-specified limit, can yield peak efficiency.

The Transformation of The Swing Procession: From Hereditary Tradition to The Modern Era

The tradition of riding ayun in ethnic Malays in West Kalimantan is one form of cultural preservation that has undergone a significant transformation in the face of the modern era. This study aims to describe changes in the meaning, implementation, and interpretation of the swing riding tradition in the context of the modern era. The research method used is a qualitative method with an analytical descriptive study approach. Data was collected through observation and interviews with local communities who still preserve the tradition of riding Ayun. The results showed that the tradition of swinging rose experienced changes in meaning, implementation, and interpretation. The influence of technology and globalization plays an important role in this change. Technology enables the use of social media and event planning apps to make it easier for families planning traditional events to ride the swing. In addition, technology also allows the use of modern equipment in the implementation of traditions, such as the use of audio-visual equipment to display information about the tradition of swinging or documentation of the birth of a baby. On the globalization side, the tradition of swinging can become better known in different parts of the world through social media platforms and websites. This can help in expanding the appreciation of this tradition on a global level. This research suggests that cultural transformation can occur in hereditary traditions such as swing rides. Therefore, cultural preservation needs to be done in the right way so that the tradition remains relevant and can be passed on to the next generation. In addition, the study also shows that technology and globalization can play an important role in cultural preservation. Therefore, there needs to be an effort to leverage technology and global connectivity to promote and preserve local culture.

INTERAKSI SIMBOLIK PADA TRADISIROKAT SAWAH DI KABUPATEN SITUBONDO

Indonesia is known as a diverse country with many tribes, cultures and traditions. One of the many
 traditions that exist in Indonesia is the rokat rice field tradition in the Madurese community, more
 precisely in Sumberanyar Village, Jatibanteng
 District, Situbondo Regency, East Java. The Rokat
 Sawah tradition is an ancestral tradition that has been carried out since ancient times and continues
 until now. Symbolic interaction is a social relationship between people which is shown by the
 exchange o
 f symbols used by them, both individuals with individuals, individuals with groups and
 groups with other groups, the meaning of which they have mutually agreed upon. This research
 aims to describe the implementation procession and meaning of symbolic inter
 actions in the Rokat
 Sawah tradition in Sumberanyar Village, Jatibanteng District, Situbondo Regency, East Java. This
 research is qualitative research with data collection through interviews, observation and
 documentation with analysis through data collect
 ion and data presentation. The results of the
 research can be stated that, the procession of carrying out the rokat sawah tradition begins with
 inviting the farmers, the farmers gather in front of the lu'ulu house, together they go to the location
 of the r
 okat sawah tradition, prepare for the implementation of the rokat sawah tradition, the
 congregation sits in a circle around various foods , opening of the traditional Rokat Sawah event
 by Lu'ulu, reciting tawasul, yasin and tahlil, reading the Rokat prayer
 and ending with closing and
 eating together. In the interactions carried out by the people of Sumberanyar Village in the Rokat
 Sawah tradition there are symbols full of implied meaning, such as fostering a sense of
 togetherness and harmony, eliminating di
 scrimination between communities, realizing gratitude
 to Allah SWT, approaching oneself to the Creator, preserving ancestral traditions and rejection of
 balak.

Scaling the EQUIPPED medication safety program: Traditional and hub-and-spoke implementation models.

The EQUIPPED (Enhancing Quality of Prescribing Practices for Older Adults Discharged from the Emergency Department) medication safety program is an evidence-informed quality improvement initiative to reduce potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) prescribed by Emergency Department (ED) providers to adults aged 65 and older at discharge. We aimed to scale-up this successful program using (1) a traditional implementation model at an ED with a novel electronic medical record and (2) a new hub-and-spoke implementation model at three new EDs within a health system that had previously implemented EQUIPPED (hub). We hypothesized that implementation speed would increase under the hub-and-spoke model without cost to PIM reduction or site engagement. We evaluated the effect of the EQUIPPED program on PIMs for each ED, comparing their 12-month baseline to 12-month post-implementation period prescribing data, number of months to implement EQUIPPED, and facilitators and barriers to implementation. The proportion of PIMs at all four sites declined significantly from pre- to post-EQUIPPED: at traditional site 1 from 8.9% (8.1-9.6) to 3.6% (3.6-9.6) (p < 0.001); at spread site 1 from 12.2% (11.2-13.2) to 7.1% (6.1-8.1) (p < 0.001); at spread site 2 from 11.3% (10.1-12.6) to 7.9% (6.4-8.8) (p = 0.045); and at spread site 3 from 16.2% (14.9-17.4) to 11.7% (10.3-13.0) (p < 0.001). Time to implement was equivalent at all sites across both models. Interview data, reflecting a wide scope of responsibilities for the champion at the traditional site and a narrow scope at the spoke sites, indicated disproportionate barriers to engagement at the spoke sites. EQUIPPED was successfully implemented under both implementation models at four new sites during the COVID-19 pandemic, indicating the feasibility of adapting EQUIPPED to complex, real-world conditions. The hub-and-spoke model offers an effective way to scale-up EQUIPPED though a speed or quality advantage could not be shown.
