This study aims to determine the development and balance of zakat funds In Pekanbaru City. By knowing the development and balance of zakat funds, it is expected that distribution will be more efficient, effective and benefit based. The method used in this study is a quantitative approach with descriptive statistical analysis techniques. Analysis of the development of zakat funds receipts and distribution is done by calculating the annual growth, both for the receipt of zakat funds as well as for distribution. In addition to calculating the average growth per year Gzt = ((Pzt) - (Pzt-1)) / ((Pzt-1)) x 100%, also calculated the average growth in one observation period Pzt = Pzo (1+ Gz) ^ t. Furthermore, the analysis of the distribution of zakat funds from social and economic aspects. efficient, effective and benefit-based zakat funding is achieved when the portion of zakat fund disbursement for social aspect is equal to the portion of distribution and zakat for the economic aspect that is equal to 50 percent. Or with another understanding occurs Al-Wasatiyyah (Equilibrium = Balance) between Social Aspects and Economic Aspects. There are three categories of zakat fund disbursement goal achievement (a) Optimal: PAS = PAE (b) Less Optimal: PAS PAE. Empirically it is known that: (1) the development of zakat revenue in Pekanbaru significant in the last five years reached an average of 150.03 percent, and also the development of significant zakat funds disbursement in the last five years reached 156.37 percent. (2) Distribution of Zakat Fund from Social Aspect biggest portion is in Pekanbaru Cerdas Program reach 77,80 percent with amount of mustahik 2,977 people, while the rest equal to 22,20 percent distributed for Pekanbaru Taqwa Program and Pekanbaru Healthy Program respectively 19,73 percent and 2.47 percent with a mustahic number of 287 people and 41 people. This means that the average amount of zakat funds per mustahik for each program is Rp 1,042,161,93 for Pekanbaru Cerdas Program, Rp 2,741,045,30 for Pekanbaru Care Program, and Rp 2,408,512,20 for Pekanbaru healthy Program. (3) The distribution of zakat funds for social and economic aspects is 73.83 percent and 26.17 percent respectively, means that more than one-quarter of the zakat fund distribution for the economic aspect means the objective of efficient, effective and based zalcat fund disbursement benefits in Pekanbaru City has not been achieved optimally. This result is due to the portion of zakat fund disbursement for social aspect exceeds portion of zakat fund distribution for economic aspect ie PAS (61,75)> PAE (38,25) so multiplier effect to income increase has not reached optimum.The absence of an optimal increase in revenue does not mean there is no increase in income. Increase in revenues still occur, the next phase increases the welfare of the community. The multiplier effect of zakat will continue to improve along with the improvement of Religiusity, which is a blend of Science and Moral Rules based on Al-Quran and As-Sunnah. The results of this study show that zakat funds can be used as a basis for establishing policies in improving the welfare of Pekanbaru city residents who are mostly Moslems, where zakat is very responsive to the interests of the general public, and especially the poor.

In this paper we investigated the effect of a magnetic force on the flow of a third grade fluid through a pipe. The existing model equations were extended to incorporate a magnetic effect term in the momentum equation and a joule heating term in the energy equation. The dimensional analysis of the momentum and energy equations was carried out and the Adomian decomposition method was used to find a three point series solution to the velocity and temperature of the fluid, for the Vogel’s model viscosity. Graphs for the velocity and temperature profiles for various values of the thermo-physical parameters were presented. When the magnetic effect parameter and the joule heating parameter are set to be zero, the result was compared with the regular perturbation method result of a previous work in order to validate the use of the Adomian decomposition method.

This research is motivated by the response of Ternate Municipal Government to the existence of motorcycle taxi (Ojek) as a two-wheeled vehicle used as a public transportation tool that is contradictory to Law No. 22 of 2009 on Traffic and Road Transport in Ternate City. The purpose of this study is to determine the form of government response about the existence of Ojek as a means of public transportation in the Ternate city. To analyze the problems in this research, the theory used is the theory of policy formulation and checks and balances related to the regulation of Ojek as public transportation that is contrary to Law no. 22 of 2009 on Road Traffic and Transportation. This research used qualitative method with case study about Ojek existence between regulation or not regulated. Result of research shows that historically existence of Ojek in Ternate City is closely related to horizal conflict condition that happened in North Maluku in September 1999 with 25 of Ojek. The existence of Ojek at that time has a reason because of the scarcity of public transportation and as a buffer of life to refugees Ternate city. Because the number is increasing so that it is used the authority of attribution then the Ojek is regulated by Mayor, Samsir Andili by Decree No. 03 of 2001 and then Decree No. 07 of 2003. After Mayor Burhan Abdurahman, until this second period Ojek no longer have operational license because it is considered contrary to regulations above. Ojek as illegal public transport can be problematic in the future, especially the seizure of resources that will give rise to conflict, let alone mockers have no identity that is very vulnerable to traffic order and even crime. The solution offered with two approaches is orderliness approach and empowerment aproach.

Application of GeoWEPP model in Indonesia has been facing a challenge in preparing the input data of both soil and plant management factors. Therefore, this research aims at detailing data of soil so that the model can represent well the spatial pattern of soil erosion. The research was carried out in Cikapundung watershed, West Java, Indonesia using GeoWEPP model for both watershed and flowpath methods. Soil erosion and sediment yield was analyzed based on three scenarios namely existing land cover year 2014 (scenario 1), 2030 predicted land cover (scenario 2), and allocation of land cover based on West Java’s 2009-2030 regional planning (scenario 3). The result showed total runoff was amounted 410 mm of 2,093 mm yearly precipitation under existing condition. Hillslope erosion and sediment yield were approximately 359 tons/ha/year and 413 tons/ha/year, respectively. Regional planning scenario was able to reduce the amount of total runoff, hillslope soil erosion, and sediment yield of 3, 94, and 95%, respectively. Sediment yield was increased under 2030 predicted land cover scenario by 1.27%. The allocation of land cover based on 2009-2030 regional planning was the best scenario in reducing the soil erosion and sediment yield in Cikapundung watershed.

The expression of the force acting on a sphere in unsteady motion is known nowadays, for Reynolds numbers ranging from 0.1 to 300. For large Reynolds numbers it is assumed that this force is equivalent to stationary drag. This work is about to the experimental determination of the usually neglected forces. This study is performed on golf balls, in the range of Reynolds between 50000 and 250000. For this, accelerated and decelerated flows are made in a wind tunnel with a variable force measuring device. The experimental results confirm the hypotheses that the inertia forces due to the displacement of the mass of the fluid and the forces due to the history of the movement are negligible in supercritical regime; which is not the case in critical regime. Furthermore non-dimensional parameters of this force have been determined.

Synchronous generators are being extensively used in Wind Turbine Generator Systems (WTGS) and have slightly better advantage over induction generator. There are different types of synchronous generators, but the multi-pole Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) with specific configuration is conclusively shown in this research, to be a better option for most systems including gearless wind turbine. It offers better performance due to higher efficiency and requires less maintenance since it does not have rotor current and can be used without a gearbox, which also implies a reduction of the weight of the nacelle and a reduction of costs. Paper discusses a new method for design of cost-efficient generator which is suitable for a large number of systems especially wind turbines. It uses Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) in a direct-driven topology. PMSGs are preferable for energy systems, where input power is always fluctuating like wind energy. A very unique configuration of Generator design has been chosen amongst various configurations. A simple prototype built on this research is capable of reaching 6.7% of Betz’s limit, but this generator can be easily scaled which will result in better extraction of wind energy to meet the requirements.

The aim of this study was to show on the example of the one peripherial laboratory, next to the sputum smear microscopy, importance of implementation new simple, rapid and more sensitive diagnostic method as Xpert MTB/Rif test, which also can detect the drug resistance. There were retrospectively reviewed the results of direct sputum smear microscopy and XpertMTB/Rif test of 1276 patient, with suspected pulmonary TB, which were performed from April of 2015 until May of 2016 in the laboratory of Central Correctional Hospital of Minister of Corrections and Legal Assistance of Georgia. From 1276 patients, XpertMTB/Rif test has detected in 52 cases M. tuberculosis in sputum sample (MTB positive patients). From these 52 cases in 25 (48.0±6.92%) patient it was Rif/ Sensitive, in 23 (44.23±6.88%) Rif/ Resistant MTB. In 4 (7.69±3.69%) patients the test cannot determine the sensitivity to rifampicin. From these 52 Xpert/ MTB positive cases, only 17 (32.7±7.21%)%) were smear positive, other 35 (67.30±6.50%)%) - were smear negative. So without the XpertMTB/Rif test, in the laboratory of Central Correctional Hospital of Minister of Corrections and Legal Assistance of Georgia (primary health care service laboratory), it would be able to suspect TB only in 32.7±7.21% cases (smear positive patients) and in the same time we would not know the sensitivity to drug, which is so important for the adequate treatment. In 67.30±6.50% smear negative cases of patients without the XpertMTB/Rif test we even would not suspect laboratory positivity to TB. In these cases the laboratory diagnosis of TB would be given after sending the sputum sample in the Reference laboratory. It would need several weeks for the final results and would be the reason of delay in the beginning of the appropriate treatment and would be great chance of further spread of disease.

Within Tobacco leaves at the bottom, upper and interrupted by leaves from tobacco trees, are poorly used, whereas their availability is very abundant and continuous. As matter of fact, tobacco leaves contain terpene and terpenoid substances that can be used as one of Atsiri oil production. Atsiri oil is a volatile vegetable oil at room temperature and has a distinctive aroma, consisting of four major groups that predominantly determine the essential oil properties of terpenoid, terpenes, straight-chain compounds, benzene derivatives, and other compounds. The production of Atsiri oils using a water distillation method, which is used to isolate Atsiri oils from tobacco leaves, the characteristic of this water distillation is through contacting the tobacco leaves to boiling water, followed by hydro-diffusion of hot water and Asitri oils through plant membranes. The tobacco leaves should be dried yet to reduce its moisture content, distilled water obtained by distillate in the form of a mixture of water with the Asitri oil component of tobacco characterized by the distinctive aroma of tobacco. while separating Asitri oil components from water, the distillation is added salt NaCl which aims to reduce the solubility of Atsiri oil, so that the Asitri oil component is more easily separated from water, this method is known as Cohobation. For the best yield response step, the optimum condition between the ratio of tobacco and water is 1:17 with the refining time for 8 hours.

Many people are losing their lives because of lack in supply of proper blood in right time. After collecting the blood from a donor a serious attention must be given to each unit of blood; proper typing, screening for pathogenic organisms & storing at proper temperature. Lack of attentiveness in these areas will make the blood useless, to overcome this situation, a viable blood substitute is needed. Perflurocorbons when used as a blood substitute doesn’t need typing, screening tests for pathogenic organisms, and also perflurocorbons increases the rate of transport of oxygen. So it can be used as a blood substitute.

Mobile phones have numerous features used by many people for many reasons. This study examines the mobile phone features micro traders often used and the corresponding benefits gained. To achieve this, a survey was carried out in the Madina market Accra, among micro traders. Market business was grouped into four: general micro-trade activity, Pre-trade activity, During trade and Post trade activities. A comprehensive questionnaire was designed to deal with each of this segment. Also, a detailed interview was conducted with one trader to further understand how trade operations were carried out. Insightful findings from the study revealed that apart from “voice calls”, WhatsApp, mobile money transfer (MMT) and the calculator were the frequently used features. Benefits associated with these features include transportation cost cut down, establishing and maintaining trade relationship and profit margin increase. All these benefits culminate into convenience, effective communication and cost reduction paybacks. The outcomes of this study implied that the knowledge gap, born out of the assumption that all mobile phone users utilize all its features, would be reduced to the barest minimal. Thus, mobile phone manufacturers, content programmers and service providers ought to pay particular attention to the findings and come out with more user-friendly products that can easily facilitate trading activities for the benefit of the micro trader.

The swine acquire the cysticerci by ingesting Taenia solium eggs eliminated by human feces. This parasitic cycle, though important in public health, is essentially benign, both for humans and for pigs. However, when humans accidentally ingest eggs from human feces and become infected with cysticerci, the consequences can be catastrophic. Ingested eggs release as oncospheres that penetrates the gut wall, gain the bloodstream, fixes in tissues and differentiates into cysticercus, and when in the central nervous system causes neurocysticercosis.

the main issue in water management is how to meet the needs of a growing population without sacrificing the sustainability of freshwater resources, which are both limited and vulnerable. The development of new technologies for groundwater exploitation consequent to increased demand has led to the overdraft of groundwater resources and thus, many environmental problems. Similarly, Rafsanjan Plain has faced extensive groundwater extraction, most of which is used for pistachio as the only crop produced in the area. Therefore, the agricultural sector has a crucial role in a water crisis. The purpose this study was to investigate the role of agriculture in Rafsanjan’s groundwater governance. Necessary information for this purpose was collected through interview and observation techniques as well as studying statistics and relevant documents. The method used in this research was a focus group to answer questions. A total of a number of 15 agricultural experts from public and private sectors were selected by purposive sampling method and categorized into four groups to respond the survey questions. Study results show that currently, Rafsanjan plain, the first step to achieving local governance is to form local organizations that are linked to the government, the members of which are selected by local leaders and from people who are dependable by the public. These organizations need education and support from the government in order to strengthen their activities.

In this paper, the mineralization potential of Iperindo and its environs have been investigated using satellite remotely sensing and geophysical methods. The area of study lies within Ilesha schist belt of the Precambrian Basement Complex of Southwestern Nigeria. The integrated approach facilitated the assessment of the subsurface geology with the purpose of delineating the geological features and their implication on mineralization potential of the study area. The investigation involved the use of the extracted lineaments from Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery to compliment results of interpreted magnetic field intensity over the study area. Aeromagnetic data acquired from Nigeria Geological Survey Agency was interpreted using spectral analysis and Euler deconvolution of the processed magnetic anomaly map over the area. Enhancement of the magnetic anomalies observed from the interpreted magnetic anomaly map involved the use of reduction to equator, wavelength, upward continuation and derivative filters. The 3-D Euler deconvolution and radial spectral analysis were applied to locate and estimate the depth to various anomalous bodies, with depth to source body between 50 m and 500 m. The processed images revealed lineaments trending majorly in NE-SW directions diagnostic of primary structures of potential targets for mineralisation in the area. Generally, coincidence of both Landsat and aeromagnetic lineaments trends were observed in the study area, which suggested that these lineaments reflect real continuous fault/fractures in depth.
