Biomimicry of Bone Architecture Through Collagen/Gelatin Hydrogel Based Scaffolds Containing Bioactive Glasses: A Mini Review
No full textThere is always an urgent need for proper bone tissue substitutes with a biomimetic approach. Natural hydrogel composites containing bioceramics are promising scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration as they simulate the extracellular matrices and appropriate performance. Among biopolymers, collagen can resemble the fibrillar structure of bone extracellular matrix. However, collagen extraction is costly, therefore, gelatin as a derivate of collagen can be a reasonable alternative. Regarding the poor strength of polymeric hydrogels, the company of bioceramics like bioactive glasses provided bone firmness and stable bonds with host tissues. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the application of collagen and gelatin hydrogels containing various types of bioactive glasses as scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration
Activated Carbon from Palm Kernel Shell for Biogas Purification
No full textBiogas technology relies on anaerobic decomposition of organic matter, producing a gas mixture containing 40–70% methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and trace amounts of other gases. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of activated carbon derived from palm kernel shells, activated using NaOH, H3PO4, and Na2CO3, in enhancing CH4 concentration and reducing CO2 content in biogas purification. The research was conducted in two stages. The first stage involved preparing activated carbon from palm kernel shells using different chemical activation agents (NaOH, H3PO4, and Na2CO3). The second stage focused on purifying biogas produced from cow manure using a fixed dome digester. A randomized complete block design (RCBD) was employed with one experimental factor (scrubber material), tested at six levels: control (no absorber), Ca(OH)2, H3PO4- activated carbon, NaOH- activated carbon, Na2CO3- activated carbon, and commercial activated carbon. Results showed that NaOH-activated palm kernel shell carbon had the highest iodine absorption, ash content, and moisture levels compared to the other activation agents. Furthermore, biogas purified using NaOH- activated carbon exhibited more than a 100% increase in CH4 and a CO2 reduction of up to 93%

Dynamics of Dawar Management in Islamic Education Institutions: Psychological Perspectives and Organizational Challenges
No full textIn Islamic educational institutions, da’wah management is essential to determining how effectively Islamic teachings are disseminated to students. Teaching strategies are not the only problem with this management dynamic. They also include psychological and organizational issues that teachers and administrators of institutions must face. This study aims to study how a psychological perspective can be used to manage da’wah in Islamic educational institutions and to find organizational problems that arise during this process. By understanding these dynamics, it is hoped that a more comprehensive and efficient management strategy can be created to improve the quality of da’wah in Islamic educational environments.
This study used a qualitative approach and conducted case studies in several selected Islamic educational institutions. Data were collected through comprehensive interviews with administrators, teachers, and students and direct observation in the institutional environment. Furthermore, the collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques to find relevant patterns related to psychological dynamics and organizational issues in da’wah management. The study also analyzed documents on management policies and da’wah strategies implemented in these institutions. The study found that a successful da’wah strategy in Islamic educational institutions requires a combination of dynamics, da’wah management, psychological perspectives, and organizational challenges. Psychological approaches help improve student acceptance of lessons, but adaptive management approaches are needed to address education dynamics. With more structured management and good cooperation, organizational challenges such as a lack of resources can be overcome. By combining these four components, Islamic schools can implement da’wah programs more effectively and in line with formal education goals
