Deep Beauty at the Functional Level:A Case Study of HarSukh Mansion, Lahore
No full textThere is growing apprehension about the well-being and substantiality of our planet due to global warming, rising energy consumption by the building sector, and depletion of natural resources. Architects and designers are in pursuit of the methodsthat may prove useful to limit the negative impacts of the buildingsector in order torespondto the changing needs of contemporary times. In Pakistan, along with the use and development of technologically advanced approaches, the revival of traditional vernacular architecture is seen as a way to achieve a sustainable future. In this study, the HarSukh Mansion, designed by the renowned traditionalist architect Kamil Khan Mumtaz, was evaluated based on the functional level of the Deep Beauty framework. In addition to examining the pragmatic needs of the users with respect to the building architecture, the case study also investigated the fundamentals of sustainable living, including modern passive energy strategies, recycling of natural resources, use of locally available building materials, and various traditional design elements and strategies. The analysis determined that Deep Beauty in architecture can be used to build a sustainable future for the building sector

Sistem Rapor Online di Madrasah Tsanawiyah Al Mumtaz Berbasis Web
No full textThe rapid advancement of information technology has encouraged companies and institutions to enhance data management more effectively and efficiently to support productivity. The online report card system at MTs Al Mumtaz is designed to manage student grades digitally. Currently, grade processing at MTs Al Mumtaz is still done manually using Microsoft Excel, without a specialized application. With a web-based system, it is expected that grade management will improve, allowing students and parents easy access to grades, while also simplifying data entry for teachers, making the process more efficient. This research uses the Waterfall method, with UML, PHP, MySQL, and the CodeIgniter (CI) framework as tools. The results show that the developed online report card system can enhance efficiency in grade management, reduce the risk of data entry errors, and speed up delivering grade information to students and parents. Additionally, the system facilitates teachers in managing grades, both in terms of data entry and final grade processing. The author recommends further development of this system, with additional features such as automatic notifications and mobile application integration, making user access easier and the report card system more optimized

Kinetics and mechanism of rhenium-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Re(IV)-EDTA) complex degradation; For 99Tc-EDTA degradation in the natural environment
No full text© 2022 The Author(s)Mechanism and kinetics of Rhenium complexes as a surrogate of Technetium-99 (99Tc) is worthy of study from radioactive waste safe disposal perspective. Re(IV)-EDTA was synthesized via the reduction of Re(VII) with Sn(II) in the presence of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The Re(IV)-EDTA was then degraded by H2O2 (7%–30%) at pH of 3–11 in ionic strength I = 0–2 M solution. The Re-EDTA was observed to degrade more rapidly at pH of ≤ 3–4 than one of ≥ 10–11 and remained stable at pH = 7–9. The Re-EDTA was degraded in accordance with the H+ addition mechanism in the acidic range and ligand charge transfer in the alkaline region. Complex degradation followed the zero-order rate kinetics for the H+ and Re-EDTA parameters, apart from a pH of 3, for which degradation was a better fit to first order kinetics. A higher Re(IV)-EDTA stability at a pH of 7–9 demonstrated that Re(IV)-EDTA (or 99Tc(IV)-EDTA) tends to be more persistent in natural environments similar to the pH range of 7–9.11Nsciescopu
PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM TERHADAP ANAK KORBAN KEKERASAN SEKSUAL (STUDI UNIT PELAKSANA TEKNIS DAERAH PERLINDUNGAN PEREMPUAN DAN ANAK KOTA YOGYAKARTA)
No full textChildren are individuals who are still immature physically and psychologically which make them need protection. Some protection needs to be given to children who became a victim of sexual abuse. Over the last few years, child sexual abuse in Indonesia has increased and spread to several regions in Indonesia, including Yogyakarta City. Child who became victims of sexual abuse require special treatment, so that a Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children was formed. The purpose of this research is to find out how the legal protection is provided by the Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children of Yogyakarta to child who became victim of sexual abuse and factors that obstruct Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children of Yogyakarta in providing legal protection to children who are victims of sexual violence.
The type of this research is field research, carried out by obtaining data directly at the Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children Yogyakarta. This research uses an empirical juridical approach and will be analyzed qualitatively. Data collection will be carried out by observation, interviews and documentation studies. The theories that will be used in the research are legal protection theory and victimology.
From this research, the author discovered that the legal protection that provided by Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children Yogyakarta for child who became victim of sexual abuse are psychological assistance, legal assistance, and provision a place to stay temporarily. The factors that obstruct Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children of Yogyakarta in providing legal protection to children who are victims of sexual violence are lack of family supports and law enforcement agencies that dont pay attention about taking care of cases that related to children
Learning through debate during problem-based learning: an active learning strategy
No full text We explored medical student’s views and perceptions of a series of debates conducted during problem-based learning (PBL) practiced as a part of the Spiral curriculum at the Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Saudi Arabia. A series of debates were employed during PBL sessions for second-year female medical students, over the period 2014–2016. Each cohort of students was randomly split into 10 small PBL groups and exposed to weekly PBL activity. Within each group, the students were divided into a proposition half and an opposition half. Students were given 1 wk for debate preparation. The students’ responses were recorded on a formulated questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze quantitative data, and results are presented as percentages. The usefulness of debate in alleviating potential difficulties in communicating with patients was agreed to by 69% ( n = 126) of participants. That these sessions evoked critical thinking among students was reported by 78% ( n = 142). This series of debates helped 61% ( n = 111) of students to learn effectively about controversial issues. Seventy-one percent ( n = 130) considered that debate promoted argument generation and interpretation skills. Enhanced ability to analyze and research evidence was reported by 59% ( n = 108) of students. One hundred and thirteen students (62%) agreed that debate helped them to improve clinical decision-making, and 75% of students agreed that debates encouraged tolerance toward diverse viewpoints/convincing strategies. The majority of our medical students found debating enhanced analytic decision-making, communication, and critical thinking skills. </jats:p
Growth Governance Nexus: A Case of Pakistan
No full textGood governance has gained tremendous importance in the development agenda of developing economies since 1990s but growth literature gives mixed picture about the role of governance and institutional factors in explaining GDP growth. The present study is an attempt to provide empirical evidence on interlinks between governance and GDP growth. ADF and Johansen co-integration tests are applied for econometric testing of the hypothesis by using time series data from 1984 to 2010. All the variables turned out to be significant with ICRG (proxy used for governance) having positive and significant impact on GDP growth of Pakistan. Results of the study have shown that governance plays major role in determining GDP growth pattern of Pakistan. A complete reform of the political, economic system, judiciary, bureaucracy and a free media are recommended to improve governance and to achieve sustained GDP growth in Pakistan consequently
