    This research studied the characteristics of nanofluids in a concentric tube heat exchanger. The objectives of this research are to prepare the stable nanofluids with addition of surfactant and to investigate the stability, properties, and heat transfer of nanofluids in concentric tube heat exchanger. Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) was added to base fluid deionized water (DW) with addition of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as surfactant by two-step method. First, the best stability ratio of nanofluids to surfactant PVP was determined by preparing several samples of 0.50 wt% nanofluids with addition of different weight fraction of surfactant. Thus, each sample has different ratio and being observed for one week by visual observation. Then, nanofluids samples (0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 wt%) were prepared based on the best stability ratio. The properties and heat transfer of nanofluids were analyzed at different concentration of nanofluids and at different temperatures (room temperature, 40 °C, 50 °C, 60 °C and 70 °C). From the observation, the alumina nanofluids was stable with the addition of surfactant at ratio 1:2. The thermal conductivity of nanofluids are higher than base fluid and increased as the temperature and concentration increased. Viscosity of nanofluids was highest at 1.00 wt% and at room temperature. The heat transfer performance of heat exchanger increased by using nanofluids. Nanofluids absorbed more heat than base fluid and the highest percentage drop of hot stream is 120% at 70 °C by using 1.00 wt% nanofluids

    Islamic boarding schools as one of the faith-based education, also function as Islamic religious broadcasters.  Islamic boarding schools have  a high level of integrity with sekitamya and become a moral show for the general public. The science studied is inseparable from  religious teachings, meaning that all events that occur are considered to have a relationship with religious teachings. The educational institution built by kiayai Noer Iskandar SQ is the Asshiddiqiyah Islamic Boarding School which is an Islamic educational institution and a religious social institution. In its capacity as an Educational, Religious, and Community institution, Asshiddiqiyah Islamic Boarding School always exists in developing its educational concept and remains committed as a stronghold of the Islamic shiar struggle. The method that the author used in this  study is the qualitative method. The reason researchers use this is because in this paper, the author wants to provide, explain,  describe the concept of pesantren education thought developed by KH. Noer Iskandar SQ who critically, or describes a phenomenon, an event, or an  event of  social  interaction in pesantren.   Therefore, this type of qualitative  research is descriptive,  by collecting field data and existing literature.  The difference between one type and another lies in  the purpose and strategy  of discovery.  Pondok  pesantren  sebagai  salah  satu pendidikan  berbasis  agama, juga berfungsi  sebagai lembaga penyiaran  agama Islam.  Pondok pesantren memiliki tingkat integritas yang tinggi dengan sekitamya dan menjadi rnjukan moral bagi masyarakat umum. Ilmu yang dipelajari tak pemah terpisahkan dari ajaran agama, artinya semua peristiwa yang terjadi dipandang memiliki hubungan dengan ajaran agama.. Lembaga Pendidikan yang dibangun oleh kiayai Noer Iskandar SQ adalah  Pondok Pesantren Asshiddiqiyah yang merupakan sebuah lembaga pendidikan Islam dan lembaga sosial keagamaan. Dalam kapasitasnya sebagai lembaga Pendidikan, Keagamaan, dan Kemasyarakatan, Pondok Pesantren Asshiddiqiyah senantiasa eksis dalam mengembangkan konsep Pendidikannya dan tetap pada komitmennya sebagai benteng perjuangan syiar Islam. Metode   yang penulis gunakan   dalam penelitian ini   adalah metode kualiltatif. Alasan peneliti menggunakan ini adalah karena dalam tulisan ini,  penulis  ingin  memberikan,  menerangkan,  mendeskripsikan  konsep pemikiran pendidikan pesantren yang dikembangkan oleh KH. Noer Iskandar SQ yang secara kritis, atau menggambarkan suatu fenomena,  suatu kejadian,  atau suatu peristiwa interaksi sosial yang ada di pesantren.  Oleh karena itu, jenis penelitian kualitatif bersifat deskriptif,  dengan mengumpulkan data lapangan dan ada kepustakaan.  Perbedaan antara tipe yang satu dengan yang lain terletak pada tujuan dan strategi penemuannya. &nbsp

    In vitro propagation offers some advantages over conventional propagation methods where it can supply uniform plants throughout the year and offer germplasm conservation. Besides, the optimization of in vitro culture conditions can accelerate and ease the research on transgenic plants through genetic engineering technology. Induced mutation breeding is a well-established method for plant improvement and this procedure can raise the possibility by a thousandfold when compared to spontaneous mutation under natural condition. Plant genetic engineering is currently a crucial method to transform genes of interest into a particular plant nuclear genome to get the desired expression. Successful transformation of fig cultivars provides a promising tool for the introduction of desired genes into fig cultivars, improved agronomic characteristic, and a means for the production of desired proteins in the edible parts of fig. Molecular markers are mostly neutral to environmental variations, in which researchers can evaluate their genetic material independently of the environmental conditions as opposed to morphological markers. Molecular markers such as RAPD, RFLP, ISSR and SSR have reportedly been prosperously utilized for the characterization of fig germplasm. Meanwhile, mutation which can occur either spontaneously or via induction plays a notable role in improving the ostiole size, fruit size, quality and productivity of fig. It is believed that fig has become one of the most valuable crops in the world as its fruits contain incredible medicinal properties and is used for the treatment of different ailments in traditional medicines
