According to Pittaway & Kitching (2013), this species occurs in Sri Lanka, tropical India and tropical Pakistan. There is a single specimen in the BMNH labelled “Nepaul, W.W.S.” but it is unclear whether this refers to the country of Nepal or some other locality. Extensive collecting more recently has failed to discover 'another' specimen of P. dentatus from Nepal.Published as part of Rafi, Muhammad Ather, Sultan, Amir, Kitching, Ian J., Pittaway, Anthony R., Markhasiov, Maxim, Khan, Muhammad Rafique & Naz, Falak, 2014, The Hawkmoth Fauna of Pakistan (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae), pp. 393-418 in Zootaxa 3794 (3) on page 397, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3794.3.4, http://zenodo.org/record/23055

Transformasi kebijakan kurikulum di madrasah: Komparasi kritis antara KMA Nomor 347 Tahun 2022 dan KMA Nomor 450 Tahun 2024
No full textTransformasi kebijakan pendidikan Islam di Indonesia tercermin dalam perubahan regulasi pelaksanaan Kurikulum Merdeka di madrasah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan isi dan arah kebijakan dalam Keputusan Menteri Agama (KMA) Nomor 347 Tahun 2022 dan KMA Nomor 450 Tahun 2024 sebagai pedoman implementasi kurikulum tersebut. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan library research. Tahapan penelitian meliputi pengumpulan data dari dokumen resmi, telaah literatur akademik, pencatatan isi, dan analisis deskriptifkomparatif. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa KMA 347 bersifat normatif dan administratif sebagai regulasi transisi, sedangkan KMA 450 bersifat transformatif, dengan penekanan pada nilai rahmatan lil alamin, project-based learning, authentic assessment, serta penguatan karakter melalui integrasi program P5-PPRA. Pembahasan memperlihatkan adanya pergeseran paradigma kebijakan dari struktural menuju nilai-orientatif. Temuan ini diperkuat dengan teori teori pendidikan seperti konstruktivisme (Dewey), asesmen autentik (Wiggins & McTighe), dan pendidikan nilai Islam (Al-Attas). Penelitian ini menyarankan pentingnya pelatihan berkelanjutan, penguatan otonomi madrasah, dan sinergi lintas pemangku kepentingan dalam keberhasilan implementasi kebijakan pendidikan Islam yang adaptif dan berkelanjutan
THE EFFECT OF NON-MUSLIM COMMUNITY’S PERCEPTION ON INTEREST IN BECOMING SYARIAH BANK CUSTOMERS IN THE CITY OF BEKASI, WEST JAVA
No full textHigh temperature mechanical properties of steel bars available in Pakistan
No full text
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present the results of experimental testing of steel rebars at elevated temperatures. Three types of bars available in the local market in Pakistan were used. These data are not available in Pakistan.
Design/methodology/approach
Three types of bars were used, which included cold-twisted ribbed (CTR), hot-rolled deformed (HRD) and thermo-mechanically treated (TMT) bars. The diameter of the bar of each type was 16 mm. The bars were heated in an electrical furnace at temperatures which were varied from 100°C to 900°C in increment of 100°C. Bars of each type were also tested at ambient temperature as control specimens. The change of strength, strain and modulus of elasticity of the bars at high temperatures were determined.
Findings
The mechanical properties of the bars were nearly unaffected by the temperatures up to 200°C. CTR bars did not show yield plateau and strain hardening both at ambient and high temperatures. The high temperature yield strength and elastic modulus for all the three types of bars were similar at all temperatures. The yield plateau of both the HRD and TMT bars disappeared at temperatures greater than 300°C. The ultimate strength at high temperature of the HRD and TMT bars was also similar. The behaviours of the HRD and TMT bars changed to brittle beyond 400°C as compared to their behaviours at ambient temperature. The CTR bars exhibited ductile characteristics at failure at all the exposure temperatures relative to their behaviour at ambient temperature.
Research limitations/implications
The parameters of the paper included the rebar type and heating temperature and the effects of temperature on strength and stiffness properties of the steel bars.
Practical implications
Building fire incidents have increased in Pakistan. As reinforced concrete (RC) buildings exist in the country in significant numbers, the data related to elevated temperature properties of steel is required. These data are not available in Pakistan presently. The presented paper aims at providing this information for the design engineers to enable them to assess and increase fire resistance of RC structural members.
Originality/value
The presented paper is unique in its nature in that there is no published contribution to date, to the best of authors’ knowledge, which has been carried out to assess the temperature-dependent mechanical properties of steel reinforcing bars available in Pakistan.

Mechanical properties of low-strength concrete at exposure to elevated temperatures
No full text
Purpose
This paper aims to present the results of testing of low-strength concrete specimens exposed to elevated temperatures. These data are limited in the existing literature and do not exist in Pakistan.
Design/methodology/approach
An experimental testing programme has been employed. Cylindrical specimens of 100 × 200 mm were used in the testing programme. These were heated at temperatures which were varied from 100°C to 900°C in increment of 100°C. Similar specimens were tested at ambient temperature as control specimens. The compressive and tensile properties of heat treated specimens were determined.
Findings
The colour of concrete started to change at 300°C and hairline cracks appeared at 400°C. Explosive spalling was observed in few specimens in the temperature range of 400°C-650°C which could be attributed to the pore pressure generated by steam. Significant loss of concrete compressive strength occurred on heating temperatures larger than 600°C, and the residual compressive strength was found to be 15 per cent at 900°C. Residual tensile strength of concrete became less than 10 per cent at 900°C. The loss of concrete stiffness reached 85 per cent at 600°C. Residual Poisson’s ratio of concrete increased at high temperatures and became nearly six times larger at 900°C as compared to that at ambient temperature.
Research limitations/implications
The parameters of the study included heating temperature and effects of temperature on strength and stiffness properties of the concrete specimens.
Practical implications
Building fire incidents have increased in Pakistan. As a large number of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings exist in the country, the data related to elevated temperature properties of concrete are required. These data are not available in Pakistan presently. The study aims at providing this information for the design engineers to enable them to assess and increase fire resistance of RC structural members.
Originality/value
