/in /by

This research aims to find out the right financing scheme so that the implementation of SDGs is more optimal and beneficial for small communities. inclusive financial contributions (zakat, infak and alms) in realizing SDGs and their relevance in realizing SDGs from a sharia maqashid perspective. This study uses a combination of qualitative-quantitative methods and approaches. Quantitative data analysis used is a method of tabulation, composing coding and score of variables. While qualitative data analysis includes the stage of data reduction, presentation and withdrawal of conclusions The results of this study show that the implementation of SDGs is carried out by a joint financing scheme through government and non-government budgets, one of which is through the distribution of zakat. The contribution of zakat in the implementation of SDGs has been carried out by the National Zakat Agency (Baznas) in the form of independence programs, religious education, health and social care. The relevance of zakat in realizing SDGs with Sharia Maqashid is shown in aid programs organized by Baznas such as the Program (1) eliminating poverty, (2) ending hunger, (3) good health and well-being, (4) quality education, and (5) clean water and sanitation relevant to the SDGs Program.

The Effects of Central Government Financial Allocation on the Provision of Quality Maternal Health Care in Kampala City

/in /by

The relationship between devolution and service delivery has been a matter of inquiry for the past three decades. This paper aimed to examine the impact of Central Government financial allocation on the quality of delivery of maternal healthcare services in Kampala City, Uganda. To achieve this, a case study design incorporating both qualitative and quantitative methods was employed. Data collection involved the use of questionnaires and interviews conducted among healthcare professionals, KCCA (Kampala Capital City Authority) staff, and mothers receiving maternal healthcare at selected public health centers. The gathered data underwent both qualitative and quantitative analyses using measures of central tendency such as mean, standard deviation, correlation, and regression analysis. The results of regression analysis indicated that Central Government financial allocation had a significant influence on the provision of quality maternal healthcare. In light of these findings, it is recommended that steps be taken to enhance Central Government financial allocation. Additionally, the administration of KCCA should consider implementing anti-corruption measures as part of their best practices. Furthermore, healthcare center leadership and KCCA leadership should prioritize effective planning, good governance, and transparency in their financial expenditure and operations.

Solar Wind Plasma Parameters in Relation with Good Quality Magnetic Cloud Related Geomagnetic Storms

/in /by

We have analyzed magnetic cloud related geomagnetic storms detected during the period of solar cycle 23 and 24 with disturbances in solar wind plasma parameters. We have observed that all the MC related geomagnetic storms are accompanying with disturbances in solar wind plasma parameters. The magnitude of magnetic cloud related geomagnetic storms is soundly correlated with peak disturbances values of solar wind plasma parameters solar wind plasma velocity (SWPV), solar wind plasma density (SWPD), solar wind plasma temperature (SWPT), interplanetary magnetic fields (IMFB) and southward component of interplanetary magnetic fields (IMFBz). Large positive correlation with correlation coefficient 0.60 have found between magnitude of MC related GMS and peak value of related disturbances in IMFB and 0.67 between magnitude of MC related geomagnetic storms and peak value of associated disturbances in IMFBz. Additionally positive correlations with correlation coefficient 0.54 have been found between magnitude of MC related GMS and peak value of associated disturbances in solar wind plasma temperature ,0.40 between magnitude of MC related GMS and peak value of associated disturbances in solar wind plasma velocity, 0.27 between magnitude of MC related geomagnetic storms and peak value of disturbances in soar wind plasma density.

/in /by

The neurostomatological syndromes are common syndromes among neurological diseases, and their diagnosis and treatment are relevant due to the variety of clinical manifestations and intensity of pain paroxysms. Trigeminal neuralgia is the most common type of prosopalgia. Due to the frequent occurrence of the disease and the very high intensity of pain paroxysms, the difficulty of diagnosis and difficulties in treatment, it is of great scientific and practical importance. Modern methods of treatment of trigeminal neuralgia are conservative, surgical and physiotherapeutic methods, which are prescribed depending on the type of neuralgia. The article provides information about the pathogenesis of trigeminal neuralgia, diagnostic methods and modern treatment methods.

The Impact of Employing Microbacter Alfaafa – 11 (MA-11) and Organic Fertilizer on the Quantity and Quality of Rice Resulting from the Crossing of Sigupai and IRBB27

/in /by

The objective of this study is to assess the impact of employing Microbacter Alfaafa-11 MA-11 and organic fertilizer on the yield and quality of the F9 rice variety resulting from the crossbreeding of sigupai with IRBB27. The research was conducted at the Saree State Vocational School-PP located in the Lembah Seulawah District of Aceh Besar Regency. The physical and chemical parameters of rice were analyzed at the Seed Science and Technology Laboratory and Plant Physiology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Syiah Kuala University, between February 2023 and August 2023. This study employed a factorial Randomized Group Design (RAK) with 12 treatment combinations. Each treatment had 3 replications, and each replication consisted of 3 pots. Therefore, there were a total of 36 experimental units. The variables in this study include the initial factor: the concentration treatment of Microbacter Alfaafa-11 (MA-11) (A), which is divided into 4 levels: A0 (with no MA-11), A1 (0.05 ml MA-11 per 2.50 ml water), A2 (0.1 ml MA-11 per 2.50 ml water), A3 (0.15 ml MA-11 per 2.50 ml water). The second factor is the application of organic fertilizer treatment, which includes two components: Super Bokashi Fertilizer dose and Biofarm concentration. This factor is divided into three levels: B1 Super Bokashi (10 t ha-1), B2 Biofarm (14-liter ha-1), and B3 Super Bokashi + Biofarm (10 t ha-1 + 14-liter ha-1). The observation criteria include agronomic factors such as harvest age, as well as rice quality tests that assess physical features such as yield rice, milled rice, rice dimensions, and chemical attributes such as water content and protein content. The findings indicated that the use of Microbacter Alfaafa-11 MA-11 and organic fertilizer did not have any notable impact on the harvest age and rice quality parameters of the F9 line resulting from the crossbreeding of sigupai with IRBB27. The maximum rice yield achieved a percentage of 74.98%, with the average being slender rice. The water content ranged from 14.00% to 15.80%, while the highest protein level reached 6.93.

The Influence of Teamwork and Work Environment on Service Quality through Job Satisfaction

/in /by

Optimal service for public service users is a necessity for increasing citizen satisfaction. The determinant of service quality lies in employee performance. There are several factors that influence service quality, including team work, work environment and job satisfaction. This research aims to: examine the influence of team work and the work environment on job satisfaction; examine the influence of team work, work environment and job satisfaction on service quality; and examine the influence of teamwork and work environment on service quality through job satisfaction.

The population of this study was 49 Civil Servants (PNS) of the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Service, Mojokerto Regency, East Java. Meanwhile, determining the sample size uses a saturated sampling technique, that is, the entire population is taken as a sample. Meanwhile, data collection uses a questionnaire distributed to respondents. The data analysis technique uses SEM PLS.

The research results show that: (1) teamwork and the work environment have a significant effect on job satisfaction; (2) team work, work environment, and job satisfaction have a significant effect on service quality; and (3) teamwork and the work environment influence service quality through job satisfaction but are not significant. For this reason, if the management of the Mojokerto Regency One Stop Investment and Integrated Services Department seeks to improve the quality of service to citizens, this can be done by strengthening teamwork and creating a conducive work environment for employees.
