Da'wa Model Based on Brand Community Value: Qaryah Thayibah Implementation for Villages Fostered by 'Aisyiyah Ponorogo

Islamic da'wa's performance is highly influenced by the techniques and tactics used in conjunction with the preaching object. 'Aisyiyah applies a Qoryah Thayyibah group-based da’wa model that is expected to become the Brand Community Value. Each Regional Leader must enforce this program with a minimum of three supported villages. The purpose of Qoryah Thayyibah, in general, is to establish an advanced and dignified Islamic society. This study aimed to identify the implementation of the Qoryah Thayyibah program and the obstacles faced by 'Aisyiyah Ponorogo. The qualitative literary approach was used in this analysis. Accordingly, the data collection was through documentation (identification of documents), observation, and interviews. The inductive reasoning was also used in the analysis to see how the Qoryah Thayyibah program is implemented, and the conclusion was taken from the general statement to a particular statement. The primary sources were the results of interviews with the management of 'Aisyiyah Ponorogo, interviews with Qoryah Thayyibah PW East Java and PDA Ponorogo, the results of Tanwir relevant to Qoryah Thayyibah and supported by other sources, such as articles, documents or writings on the official PDA website of ‘Aisyiyah Ponorogo. 'Aisyiyah Ponorogo has successfully applied the Qoryah Thayyibah in five of the eight intended fields. They faced obstacles in several fields, including spirituality, education, economics, and health.

Young Russians are angry but not opposition-minded

Significance Surveys suggest that young people's motives for demonstrating were not so much support for Navalny as a general statement of dissatisfaction with a state out of touch with their lives and concerns -- a rejection of the status quo. Impacts Putin's approval rates will remain low among the young, but he does not currently enjoy majority approval in any age group. The desire to emigrate has increased in the last seven years: 50% of 18-24-year-olds are considering leaving. The paramilitary Youth Army will be complemented by the expanding programme of 'patriotic education' designed to instill obedience.

Accurate Spectral Estimation Technique Based on Decimated Linear Predictor for Leak Detection in Waterworks

Rural pipelines dedicated to water distribution, that is, waterworks, are essential for agriculture, notably plantations and greenhouse cultivation. Water is a primary resource for agriculture, and its optimized management is a key aspect. Saving water dispersion is not only an economic problem but also an environmental one. Spectral estimation of leakage is based on processing signals captured from sensors and/or transducers generally mounted on pipelines. There are different techniques capable of processing signals and displaying the actual position of leaks. Not all algorithms are suitable for all signals. That means, for pipelines located underground, for example, external vibrations affect the spectral response quality; then, depending on external vibrations/noises and flow velocity within pipeline, one should choose a suitable algorithm that fits better with the expected results in terms of leak position on the pipeline and expected time for localizing the leak. This paper presents findings related to the application of a decimated linear prediction (DLP) algorithm for agriculture and rural environments. In a certain manner, the application also detects the hydrodynamics of the water transportation. A general statement on the issue, DLP illustration, a real application and results are also included.

Bevacizumab in Aggressive Pituitary Adenomas – Experience with 3 Patients

Objective To investigate bevacizumab as alternative treatment of aggressive pituitary adenomas after exhaustion of standard therapies. Design and Methods Retrospectively, 3 patients undergoing microscopic transsphenoidal surgery of aggressive pituitary adenomas from 2008 till 2018 that were treated with bevacizumab were identified. Development of disease and treatment were evaluated. Results Two patients suffered from ACTH-secreting adenomas, one from a non-functioning adenoma. All patients underwent multiple surgical, chemo- and radiotherapeutical approaches including temozolomide, showing favorable results in one patient. Deterioration of clinical condition in all patients led to an individual, palliative attempt of bevacizumab. Patients 1 and 2 showed a decrease of ACTH after first administrations, but therapy had to be ended shortly after due to a further deterioration of their condition. Patient 3 showed a stabilization of the disease for 18 months. Patients died 8, 15 and 7 years after initial diagnosis, respectively, and 2, 4, and 24 months after initiation of bevacizumab therapy, respectively. Conclusion The demonstrated results suggest a considerable effect of bevacizumab in aggressive pituitary adenomas. The advanced stage of disease in all three patients, the overall short period of administration and just one patient showing a clinical benefit do not allow a general statement on the effectiveness. At the current stage of clinical experience, an approach with bevacizumab can be considered as an individual palliative attempt of treatment, when standard treatments are exhausted. Our results underline the need for further studies to evaluate this drug as potential player in therapy resistant aggressive pituitary tumors.

Localization as an Alternative to Globalization. Critical Reflections of a Political Scientist.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The author's goal in the article is to present a few key ideas of localization as an alternative to globalization and a critical analysis of localization from the point of view of possibilities and barriers to their implementation. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: Criticism to the idea of localization can help reformulate the basic assumptions and could make it more relevant to the existing social reality in the future. The author briefly summarized the ideas and then criticized them asking about the chances of their implementation and the basic barriers to building „a better world”. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The article begins with the presentation of the main ideas of localization. The author criticizes the asking how the localization could be implemented and at what price. The question remains who and at what price would choose to support the political program aimed at implementing the idea of localization. RESEARCH RESULTS: The result of the analysis carried out is the general statement that the implementation of the localization would have to face numerous barriers. The costs of implementing the project also seem enormous when one considers the possible social resistance. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Can an attempt to build local reality succeed, remains an open question. We cannot finally verify projects that have not (yet?) been implemented. However, we can point to a number of doubts that must arise when analyzing projects based on the idea of localization. Indication of project defects does not mean its discrediting. Identifying the unexpected consequences of implementing major social change projects can help improve a project that remains open.

MEKASNISME PASAR DALAM PERSPEKTIF ABU YUSUF: STUDI KASUS KENAIKAN HARGA TIKET PESAWAT DOMESTIK DI INDONESIA (Market Mechanism in Abu Yusuf's Perspective: Case Study of Domestic Flight Ticket Price Increase in Indonesia)

Pernyataan umum yang berlaku tentang hubungan negatif pada kurva permintaan adalah apabila jumlah suatu barang (Q) mengalami kelangkaan maka harga barang (P) akan naik, dan sebaliknya. Namun salah satu tokoh ekonomi Islam klasik menentang pernyataan tersebut, yaitu Abu Yusuf.Menurut Abu Yusuf bisa saja persediaan barang melimpah diiringi dengan harga yang tinggi dan sebaliknya.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kenaikan harga tiket pesawat domestik di Indonesia menggunakan konsep mekanisme pasar perspektif pemikiran Abu Yusuf. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kajian pustaka, di mana sumber-sumber literatur diperoleh dari buku, internet, jurnal dan lainnya. Sedangkan analisisnya menggunakan deskriptif analisis untuk menjawab permasalahan penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukan adanya kesesuaian dengan pemikiran Abu Yusuf yaitu bahwa kenaikan harga tiket pesawat tidak disebabkan oleh kelangkaan, melainkan faktor-faktor lain seperti biaya, perbaikan keuangan maskapai, stagnasi harga tiket, dan penguasaan pasar. Namun bukti empiris juga menemukan bahwa kenaikan harga tiket pesawat menyebabkan penurunan jumlah penumpang, dimana hal ini sesuai dengan teori ekonomi pada umumnya yaitu apabila harga barang naik maka jumlah barang yang diminta cenderung menurun. Kata kunci: Mekanisme pasar, Harga tiket,Pemikiran Abu Yusuf, Kitab al-Kharaj. Abstract:A general statement that applies to the negative correlation on the demand curve is that if the amount of goods (Q) suffers from scarcity, the price of goods (P) will increase, and vice versa. But, one of the classical Islamic economic figures opposes this statement, namely Abu Yusuf. According to Abu Yusuf, it could be an overflowing supply of goods accompanied by high prices and vice versa. This study aims to analyze the increase of the domestic plane ticket price in Indonesia using the concept of market mechanism based on Abu Yusuf's perspective. The research method uses the literature review method, where literary sources are obtained from books, the internet, journals, and others. While the analysis uses descriptive analysis to answer the research problem. The article demonstrates there was a suitability with Abu Yusuf's thouhtthat the increase in ticket priceswas not caused by the scarcity, but it was caused by several other factors such as costs, airline financial improvements, the stagnation of ticket price, and market domination. However, the empirical evidence also that the increase in ticket prices affected the decrease in the number of passengers, which is an accordance to the economic theory in general, that is if the price of goods rises, the amount of goods requested will decrease.

The Analysis of Chinese Rural Society: Fei Xiaotong Revisited

China’s best-known sociologist, Fei Xiaotong, is widely credited with providing a general statement of guanxi relations underlying Chinese society. Examination of Fei’s celebrated From the Soil and associated publications, as well as the work of contemporary researchers, reveals Fei’s neglected Confucianism and the derivative nature of his conceptualization of “the differential mode of association.” Additionally, limitations of village-centric perspectives and the importance of nonkin relations in rural society are identified and erstwhile neglected aspects of guanxi highlighted. The article contributes to the study of guanxi and Chinese society in general by developing a sociological account of the variety and nature of social connections.
