Penelitian Agama Menurut H. A. Mukti Ali dan Kontribusinya terhadap Pendidikan Islam

Tidak dapat dipungkiri lagi bahwa agama merupakan suatu hal yang dibutuhkan oleh manusia. Dimana agama dijadikan sebagai tolak ukur dan pedoman bagi keberlangsungan hidupnya. Oleh karena itu, sangat diperlukan pelaksanaan tentang penelitian agama yang dapat memberikan kontribusi besar dalam memahami apa itu sebenarnya agama. Di Indonesia sendiri sudah mulai banyak bermunculan penelitian agama, namun hasil-hasilnya kurang memberikan kontribusi dalam memahami tentang apa itu agama. Hal ini diungkapkan oleh H. A. Mukti Ali yang menjelaskan bahwa penelitian agama selama ini tidak menggunakan metode yang tepat dalam pelaksanaannya. Sehingga ia merumuskan sebuah metode yang disebut dengan metode sintesis sebagai jawaban dari kegelisahannya terhadap kekurangan dari penelitian agama selama ini. Melalui metode tersebut, penelitian agama yang dikembangankan oleh Mukti Ali ini dapat menelurkan hasil-hasil penelitian yang mutakhir terkait pemahaman tentang agama, termasuk agama Islam. Karena yang diperoleh bukan saja bersifat doktriner, melainkan juga bersifat ilmiah dalam mengkaji hal ikhwal tentang agama. Dengan demikian, penelitian agama dapat memberikan kontribusi atau sumbangan terhadap berbagai disiplin ilmu yang lain, seperti sosial, budaya, politik, ekonomi, termasuk juga dapat memberikan kontribusi yang besar terhadap pengembangan konsep pendidikan Islam

A survey of exploratory search systems based on LOD resources

The fact that the existing Web allows people to effortlessly share data over the Internet has resulted in the accumulation of vast amounts of information available on the Web.Therefore, a powerful search technology that will allow retrieval of relevant information is one of the main requirements for the success of the Web which is complicated further due to use of many different formats for storing information. Semantic Web technology plays a major role in resolving this problem by permitting the search engines to retrieve meaningful information. Exploratory search system, a special information seeking and exploration approach, supports users who are unfamiliar with a topic or whose search goals are vague and unfocused to learn and investigate a topic through a set of activities. In order to achieve exploratory search goals Linked Open Data (LOD) can be used to help search systems in retrieving related data, so the investigation task runs smoothly.This paper provides an overview of the Semantic Web Technology, Linked Data and search strategies, followed by a survey of the state of the art Exploratory Search Systems based on LOD.Finally the systems are compared in various aspects such as algorithms, result rankings and explanations

ROLE OF SAWDUST IN THE REMOVAL OF IRON FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION

Sawdust, inexpensive material has been utilized as an absorbent for the removal of iron from aqueous solution for their safe disposal. The adsorption experiments of untreated sawdust (SD)and treated sawdust (SDC) have been carried out at room temperature using the batch test. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were used to observe sorption phenomena of sawdust in the removal of iron. The results indicate that the sawdust was capable in removing iron in aqueous solution. The results have shown that the Langmuir isotherm was found well fitted into the experimental data as compared to the Freundlich isotherm. It was found that, chemisorptions and physisorption were the prime mechanism for the process of adsorption to occur between the sawdust and iron. The results also proved that the acid sulphuric treated sawdust is much better than that of untreated sawdust as an adsorbent for iron

Strategi Pembelajaran Anak Usia Dini Berbasis Multiple Intelligence

Gardner explains that intelligence is some of the abilities that a person possesses, which will not all be equal to the abilities others have, because they are of many types, Gardner calls them multiple intelligences. The development of learning strategy is intended to provide an alternative paradigm in order to prepare PAUD/TK/RA teachers who have special skills in early childhood education. Therefore, further research on the effectiveness of early childhood learning strategies based on multiple intelligences was developed to improve the competence of RA teachers. The research method used experiments, involving 116 RA teachers in Pemalang district. Data analysis used statistical analysis of Paired Sample T-Test, which aims to find out the effectiveness of AUD based learning strategy based on multiple intelligence in improving the competence of PAUD/TK/RA teachers. The results showed the significance of paired sample t-test of 0.000 (<0.05) with a t value of 9.555. Thus, the results of the analysis show that statistically, the effectiveness of early childhood learning strategies based on mulitple intelligence in improving the competence of RA teachers is tested

Targeting ataxia telangiectasia mutated and Rad3 related kinase (ATR) in PTEN deficient breast cancers for personalized therapy

Purpose: PTEN, a negative regulator of PI3K signaling, is involved in DNA repair. ATR is a key sensor of DNA damage and replication stress. We evaluated whether ATR signaling has clinical significance and could be targeted by synthetic lethality in PTEN deficient triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Methods: PTEN, ATR and pCHK1Ser345 protein level was evaluated in 1650 human breast cancers. ATR blockade by VE-821 was investigated in PTEN-proficient (MDAMB-231) and PTEN-deficient (BT-549, MDA-MB-468) TNBC cell lines. Functional studies included DNA repair expression profiling, MTS cell-proliferation assay, FACS (cell cycle progression & γH2AX accumulation) and FITC-annexin V flow cytometry analysis. Results: Low nuclear PTEN was associated with higher grade, pleomorphism, dedifferentiation, higher mitotic index, larger tumour size, ER negativity, and shorter survival (p values <0.05). In tumours with low nuclear PTEN, high ATR and/or high pCHK1ser345 level was also linked to higher grade, larger tumour size and poor survival (all p values <0.05). VE-821 was selectively toxic in PTEN deficient TNBC cells and resulted in accumulation of double strand DNA breaks, cell cycle arrest, and increased apoptosis. Conclusion: ATR signalling adversely impact survival in PTEN deficient breast cancers. ATR inhibition is synthetically lethal in PTEN deficient TNBC cells

Machine Learning Framework to Identify Individuals at Risk of Rapid Progression of Coronary Atherosclerosis: From the PARADIGM Registry.

Background Rapid coronary plaque progression (RPP) is associated with incident cardiovascular events. To date, no method exists for the identification of individuals at risk of RPP at a single point in time. This study integrated coronary computed tomography angiography-determined qualitative and quantitative plaque features within a machine learning (ML) framework to determine its performance for predicting RPP. Methods and Results Qualitative and quantitative coronary computed tomography angiography plaque characterization was performed in 1083 patients who underwent serial coronary computed tomography angiography from the PARADIGM (Progression of Atherosclerotic Plaque Determined by Computed Tomographic Angiography Imaging) registry. RPP was defined as an annual progression of percentage atheroma volume ≥1.0%. We employed the following ML models: model 1, clinical variables; model 2, model 1 plus qualitative plaque features; model 3, model 2 plus quantitative plaque features. ML models were compared with the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk score, Duke coronary artery disease score, and a logistic regression statistical model. 224 patients (21%) were identified as RPP. Feature selection in ML identifies that quantitative computed tomography variables were higher-ranking features, followed by qualitative computed tomography variables and clinical/laboratory variables. ML model 3 exhibited the highest discriminatory performance to identify individuals who would experience RPP when compared with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk score, the other ML models, and the statistical model (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve in ML model 3, 0.83 [95% CI 0.78-0.89], versus atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk score, 0.60 [0.52-0.67]; Duke coronary artery disease score, 0.74 [0.68-0.79]; ML model 1, 0.62 [0.55-0.69]; ML model 2, 0.73 [0.67-0.80]; all P&lt;0.001; statistical model, 0.81 [0.75-0.87], P=0.128). Conclusions Based on a ML framework, quantitative atherosclerosis characterization has been shown to be the most important feature when compared with clinical, laboratory, and qualitative measures in identifying patients at risk of RPP
