Konsep Keadilan Ekonomi Islam Dalam Sistem Ekonomi: Sebuah Kajian Konsepsional

Justice is a benchmark in an economics system. In the application of the modern economic system like the capitalist economic system and the socialist economic system, there are many injustices to the people. Problems that make it unfair are, many social inequalities between communities it makes a lot of poverty or unemployment in the country. Therefore, we need an economic system that can be a solution for people’s welfare, we call with Islamic Economics System. The type of this research is library research category, it’s a research by using the literature. The writing method is descriptive qualitative by using a primary reference source and processing research materials in the library like a book, news, and others. The purpose of this research is to discuss the concept of justice and the application of justice concepts in the economic system, especially in Islamic economics. From the discussion that has been done in this research, we can conclude that the concept of justice has two contexts, both are the individual context and the social context. As the individual context, in the Muslim activity of economics, they must not hurt themself. But in the social context, every Muslim required to not fool the others. The application of the justice concept in Islamic economics system is nothing of economic inequality between one person and another person. The Islamic economics system also prohibits any kind of injustice economics like monopoly and concentration of economic power in one particular group or person. Also with the capitalist system and the socialist system which tends to not prosper the community in the country.

Waqf fundraising through money in the industrial revolution 4.0 era: A case study on Baitulmaal Munzalan Indonesia

Only a few institutions are professionals in managing waqf in West Kalimantan Province. Baitulmaal Munzalan Indonesia Foundation (BMI) is present as one solution for people who want to donate their fund’s waqf through money in the industrial revolution 4.0 era. Having only been established for three years, BIM has managed to raise funds cash waqf of Rp. 2.9 billion. This paper aims to explain the strategies and constraints faced by BMI in collecting endowment funds through money in the digital age. By using the type of field research and data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and Focus Grup Discussion (FGD), there are two research results in this paper. First, the strategies used by BMI in developing cash waqf in the digital age are companies through social media (Facebook pages and Instagram) and tablig. Kampanye through social media is the most dominant strategy used by BMI and has enormous potential. Secondly, the obstacle felt by BMI in managing and developing cash waqf is negative perceptions from the community (external obstacle). Based on the results of this study, the authors argue that marketing through social media not only has positive implications for for-profit institutions but also non-profit institutions such as BMI in collecting and managing cash waqf in Indonesia.

Oxy-imino saccharidic derivatives as a new structural class of aldose reductase inhibitors endowed with anti-oxidant activity

Aldose reductase is a key enzyme in the development of long term diabetic complications and its inhibition represents a viable therapeutic solution for people affected by these pathologies. Therefore, the search for effective aldose reductase inhibitors is a timely and pressing challenge. Herein we describe the access to a novel class of oxyimino derivatives, obtained by reaction of a 1,5-dicarbonyl substrate with O-(arylmethyl)hydroxylamines. The synthesised compounds proved to be active against the target enzyme. The best performing inhibitor, compound (Z)-8, proved also to reduce both cell death and the apoptotic process when tested in an in vitro model of diabetic retinopathy made of photoreceptor-like 661w cell line exposed to high-glucose medium, counteracting oxidative stress triggered by hyperglycaemic conditions.

Theoretical Review of Routing Protocols Used for Wireless Community Networks

Wireless community networks (WCNs) are a solution for people who are living in some areas facing difficulties for accessing the internet because no ISPs are providing them with the service due to the long distance, the high cost of infrastructure, and the less no of people in these areas. So people decided to build their own internet without the need for ISPs. They build mesh networks to provide WiFi access to the internet. WCNs are considered as large-scale, distributed and decentralized systems. In addition, it consists of numerous nodes, links, content, and services. These networks are constructed in a decentralized way, mixing wired and wireless links with different routing techniques with a different range of applications and services. Therefore, they are very dynamic and diverse. There is an open peering agreement that governs these networks, where it avoids impediments for the participation in the network. The ownership, governance, and knowledge of the network are open. For that reason, WCNs are decentralized as well as they are self-managed and self-owned by community members. Moreover, they are self-growing networks in links, capacity, and services provided. This paper presents a critical analysis of the current routing protocols that are employed for WCNs. In addition, it highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each routing protocol.

On the Need to Strengthen Social Capital in Pro-Inclusive Education and Supporting People with Disabilities

In the article, I point out the weaknesses in the domestic social capital and at the same time I emphasize its key role in creating pro-inclusive actions and solutions for people with disabilities in all spheres or areas of their life activities. However, the subject of my special reflection is the education system and the need to strengthen capital resources and social trust in its space. It is the basis for the inclusion and support of these people and their families in the cooperation with the local environment. It creates a climate for practicing civic skills; readiness of all entities/participants of education for a mutual, based on trust and respect cooperation that is open to the possibility of including others to a different extent and whom are not only formally involved in their education.

Wireless Stimulus-on-Device Design for Novel P300 Hybrid Brain-Computer Interface Applications.

Improving the independent living ability of people who have suffered spinal cord injuries (SCIs) is essential for their quality of life. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) provide promising solutions for people with high-level SCIs. This paper proposes a novel and practical P300-based hybrid stimulus-on-device (SoD) BCI architecture for wireless networking applications. Instead of a stimulus-on-panel architecture (SoP), the proposed SoD architecture provides an intuitive control scheme. However, because P300 recognitions rely on the synchronization between stimuli and response potentials, the variation of latency between target stimuli and elicited P300 is a concern when applying a P300-based BCI to wireless applications. In addition, the subject-dependent variation of elicited P300 affects the performance of the BCI. Thus, an adaptive model that determines an appropriate interval for P300 feature extraction was proposed in this paper. Hence, this paper employed the artificial bee colony- (ABC-) based interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (IT2FLS) to deal with the variation of latency between target stimuli and elicited P300 so that the proposed P300-based SoD approach would be feasible. Furthermore, the target and nontarget stimuli were identified in terms of a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. Experimental results showed that, from five subjects, the performance of classification and information transfer rate were improved after calibrations (86.00% and 24.2 bits/ min before calibrations; 90.25% and 27.9 bits/ min after calibrations).

Dementia and mobility - issues, needs and solutions

Structural transition in Austrian society in the larger context of demographic change and growing demands on infrastructure, organization and planning in the public sphere have been discussed profusely in recent years in the context of some projects. While a number of national and international research projects especially focussed on the older age groups and their requirements for staying mobile by developing solutions on the individual, technological and infrastructural level, solutions for people who suffer from cognitive impairment as a result of dementia are still missing. The Austrian research project KOMPETENZ takes the first step in identifying the requirements that people with dementia, their caregivers and other relevant stakeholders in this context have towards public space in order to be able to maintain physical mobility of people affected by dementia. One of the main outcomes of the project included an assessment methodology linking barriers and collective mobility needs to high potential solutions, which supports all relevant stakeholders in the process.

A Review of Some Reference Analytic Solutions for the Magnetohydrodynamic Flow of Blood

A short review of some reference solutions for the magnetohydrodynamic flow of blood is proposed in this paper. We present in details the solutions of Hartmann (1937), of Vardanyan (1973) and of Sud et al. (1974). In each case, a comparison is provided with the corresponding solution for the flow without any external magnetic field, namely Poiseuille (plane or cylindrical) and Womersley. We also present a synopsis of some other solutions for people who would like to go further in this topic. The interest in MHD flow of blood may be motivated by many reasons, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Pulse Wave Velocity measurement, magnetic drug targeting, tissue engineering, mechanotransduction studies, and blood pulse energy harvesting… These fundamental solutions should also be used as particular limiting cases to validate any proposed more elaborated solutions or to validate computer codes.

Smart mobility solution with multiple input Output interface.

Smart wheelchairs are commonly used to provide solution for mobility impairment. However their usage is limited primarily due to high cost owing from sensors required for giving input, lack of adaptability for different categories of input and limited functionality. In this paper we propose a smart mobility solution using smartphone with inbuilt sensors (accelerometer, camera and speaker) as an input interface. An Emotiv EPOC+ is also used for motor imagery based input control synced with facial expressions in cases of extreme disability. Apart from traction, additional functions like home security and automation are provided using Internet of Things (IoT) and web interfaces. Although preliminary, our results suggest that this system can be used as an integrated and efficient solution for people suffering from mobility impairment. The results also indicate a decent accuracy is obtained for the overall system.

Utilizing sensors networks to develop a smart and context-aware solution for people with disabilities at the workplace (design and implementation)

The developments and improvements in human–computer interaction and information and communication technologies have resulted in innovative assistive technology (AT) solutions for the people with disabilities (PWDs). Although, there have been many new ideas and technologies for assisting the PWDs, still very few of them have considered the workplace environment. Therefore, there is a need to develop a comprehensive universal AT solution that can maximize the PWDs productivity at work. In this work, an AT and smart context-aware solution has been developed to assist the PWDs at the workplace. This has been achieved through the designing and the implementation of a smart unified interface to guide and assist the PWDs. A wireless sensor network has been employed in this context-aware smart solution in order to track and determine user’s location. The unified interface is adaptive and includes four modules that are smart helping, smart communication, smart editor, and auto emergency response. A proper AT process and technological design considerations have been adopted to achieve a comprehensive, universal, adaptive, and context-aware solution.

Considering the benefits of a new stoma appliance: a clinical trial.

For people living with a stoma, leakage is one of the main problems compromising quality of life. The right choice of stoma appliance is therefore of utmost importance. This randomised, controlled clinical trial investigated the benefits of a new stoma appliance, SenSura Mio Convex Soft, specifically for people who experience leakage using a flat stoma appliance. The degree of leakage under the baseplate was measured using a new objective method. The study included 38 participants with an ileostomy or colostomy. Results showed that while being flexible and comfortable, the new appliance reduced leakage significantly and provided a better feeling of security when compared with the participants' own flat stoma appliance. The product was the preferred of the convex stoma appliances in the study. This study demonstrated that it may be a solution for people with a stoma challenged by leakage using flat stoma appliances.

IT Training - Lecturer or E-Learning? Case Study

Computers are more and more often used in training people. One of the most popular methods in this respect is e-learning. One of its biggest advantages is that the student may choose the best time and place to learn, as well as the pace of learning. Thanks to constant access to the material he may come back to difficult issues, analyze them again or comment on forums. It is a convenient solution for people who for some reasons cannot participate in traditional indoor training and therefore are unable to access the whole material. However, contemporary training didactics emphasizes teamwork skills. It is more and more often indicated that teamwork has an inspiring influence on the workers. It boosts their activity, co-operation, rational work management and responsibility for real effects. The article presents the score of an exam in Information Technology. The exam was taken by bachelor degree students of logistics. 160 students took part in the research. A part of the students learned the material with a teacher and the other part through e-learning. The research shows the diversification of stores of both groups. The aim of this article is to show that using not the whole e-learning system, but only its certain elements leads to lower effectiveness of education process.

TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A ELECTRO-ENCEPHALOGRAPHY BASED NEUROPROSTHETIC TERMINAL DEVICE

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) using Electroencephalography (EEG) enables non-invasive direct control between human brain and machine and opens up new possibilities in providing healthcare solutions for people with severe motor impairment. This paper reviews the recent trends in neuroprostheses and presents a conceptual design for the development of a cost-effective neuroprosthetic hand deploying EEG signals. Towards the development of a brain-computer interface for neuroprostheses, EEG signals are recorded from healthy subjects using the Emotiv Suite Software. The recognition phase and signal analysis are performed using the EEGLab Software. Signal processing is required until clear rhythmic waves are obtained as a command to control a prosthetic hand. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) will be developed using Matlab Software and aided with 3D Animation as a medium of interaction for basic training for the patient before using the prosthetic hand.

Broadening our concepts of universal access

The universal accessibility movement has focused on solutions for people with physical limitations. While this work has helped bring about positive initiatives for this population, physical disabilities are just one of the many life situations that can complicate people's ability to fully participate in an information economy and society. Other factors affecting accessibility include poverty, illiteracy, and social isolation. This paper explores how the universal accessibility movement can expand its efforts to reach other diverse populations. Four sets of resources are discussed--physical, digital, human, and social--that are critical for enabling people to use information and communication technology. Examples of how these resources can help people access, adapt, and create knowledge are provided.
