Aims: This in-vitro study aimed to evaluate the effect of microwave irradiation on polyvinyl siloxane impression material contaminated with candida Albicans. Materials and methods: 30 samples were fabricated from the acrylic mold with disk shape 5*2 (diameter*thickness). Samples incubated with Brain Heart Infusion Broth (BHI) media containing Candida albicans. Then were divided into 30 samples into 6 groups: C (positive control); 5 non-irradiated specimens, 3MWD ( samples irradiated for 3minute in dry condition), 6MWD (samples irradiated for 6minute in dry condition), 3MWW (samples irradiated for 3minute in wet condition), 6MWW (samples irradiated for 6minute in wet condition), CHX (samples immersed in 0.5% chlorhexidine) After incubation of all samples for 24 hours at 37°C, the samples were got vortex and then serial dilution carried out of suspensions then cultured on Sabouraude Dextrose Agar after incubation for 24 hours at 37°C bacteria were counted. A further 7 days of incubation for microwaved samples was done to verify the effectiveness of both dry and wet microwave sterilization for two periods of time. Results: There was a significant reduction in cfu /ml of candida albicans at 24 hours of incubation. No growth of C. albicans was recorded after 7 days of incubation. Conclusions: Microwave irradiation at 640W for both wet and dry conditions for 3 and 6 min was proved to be effective in the disinfection of polyvinyl siloxane specimens contaminated with. Candida. albicans.

Aims: The study aimed to investigate the effect of sterilization by microwave irradiation at 640W on the surface roughness of polyvinyl siloxane. Materials and methods: 30 samples of addition silicone impression material with a thickness of 20mm and 3mm as diameter. The acrylic mold was used for the samples' fabrication. The samples were divided into six groups each group had five specimens (C) control (3MWD) Samples irradiated for 3minute in dry conditions, (6MWD) samples irradiated for 6minute in dry conditions, (3MWW) samples irradiated for 3minute in wet condition, (6MWW) samples irradiated for 6minute in wet condition and (CHX) samples immersed in chlorhexidine with 0.5% concentration for one hour.

Although various meat and meat products may include various foodborne pathogens, meat is still an excellent source of nutrients compared to other foods. Due to bioactive materials, numerous plants and their extracts, including pomegranate, have been reported to possess antibacterial and antioxidant effects. Sixty fresh beef samples, bought from the local stores Karkh/ Baghdad, were properly divided into three similar groups; each group included 20 samples. The first group served as a control group, and it was soaked in distilled water. The second group was soaked in a 20g/L treatment dose of pomegranate pomace solution and was referred to as the treated group (T1). The third group was administered as 40g/L pomegranate pomace solution(T2). The results showed that the pomegranate pomace solution (T1 and T2) exhibited antimicrobial activity on the total bacterial count, lipid oxidation, and pH values. The current findings demonstrated that beef immersed into both concentrations of pomegranate pomace was more resistant to elevation in bacterial counting plus lower levels of peroxidation, measured using Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances plus fewer pH values compared to the control, as it was preserved for more days. The pomegranate pomace solutions might be utilized as natural preservatives of meat products, even at low concentrations.

This paper presents an optimal design of a modified Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller with nonlinear signum function for vibration control of a single-link flexible manipulator system. This manipulator is a Single Input Multi Output (SIMO) system with applied torque as the input signal, and the hub angle and tip deflection as the outputs. The dynamic model of the flexible link system is represented by finite element method. The Bacteria Foraging Optimization (BFO) algorithm is used to tune the parameters of the PID controller. A nonlinear signum function is added to improve the performance of this controller. Different types of inputs are tested with different payloads to illustrate the robustness of the control scheme. The scheme successfully reduces the effect of the vibration and minimize it to zero at the tip-end, even with payload variation.

Blockchain is an innovative technology that has gained interest in all sectors in the era of digital transformation where it manages transactions and saves them in a database. With the increasing financial transactions and the rapidly developed society with growing businesses many people looking for the dream of a better financially independent life, stray from large corporations and organizations to form startups and small businesses. Recently, the increasing demand for employees or institutes to prepare and manage contracts, papers, and the verifications process, in addition to human mistakes led to the emergence of a smart contract. The smart contract has been developed to save time and provide more confidence while dealing, as well as to cover the security aspects of digital management and to solve negotiation concerns. The smart contract was employed in creating a distributed ledger to eliminate the need for centralization. In this paper, a simple prototype has been implemented for the smart contract integrated with blockchain which is simulated in a local server with a set of nodes. Several security objectives, such as confidentiality, authorization, integrity, and non-repudiation, have been achieved in the proposed system. Besides, the paper discussed the importance of using the Blockchain technique, and how it contributed to the management of transactions in addition to how it was implemented in highly transparent real-estate scenarios. The smart contract was employed in creating a distributed ledger to eliminate the need for centralization. The elliptic-curve public key has been adopted as an alternative for the RSA in a signature generation/verification process and encryption protocol. For secure transactions, The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) also has been adopted as a secure layer in the web browser. The results have been investigated and evaluated from different aspects and the implementation was in a restricted environment. Experiments showed us the complexity of time and cost when using the (ECC) algorithm and using (RSA) algorithm depending on the size and length of the key. So if the size of the key in (ECC) equals (160) bits, and it corresponds to (1024) bits in (RSA), which is equivalent to 40% for (ECC) and 30% for (RSA). As a result, the (ECC) algorithm is complex, its key is smaller and the process of generating the key is faster, so it has achieved a high level of security.

Shigella is an intracellular bacterium can infect both human and animal. Its species especially Shigella dysenteriae cause shigellosis worldwide, with 165 million cases of severe bloody diarrhea and mucoid feces. The aim of this study was to find a rapid, sensitive and specific method for screening Shigella in raw bovine contaminated milk. For this goal, 70 samples of milk collected in sterile containers for isolating of Shigella and culturing it on selective media to identify and characterize its morphology, biochemical and molecular characteristics. This study was compared between three different DNA extraction techniques for polymerase chain reaction (direct DNA extraction using a kit, alkaline DNA extraction, and filtrated milk). Our results showed that PCR was able to detect Shigella in 15 out of 15 cases after the milk samples filtered. In other words, the filter technique can be used to detect Shigella in contaminated milk.

Aqidah Akhlak lessons subject includes two things: first educating students to behave in accordance with Islamic values and morals, secondly educating students to study the material of Islamic teachings. Learning about Aqidah akhlah subject matter should have been taught since the child was born into this world to an educational level by applying various learning strategies. The Prophet has exemplified the learning methods that can be applied in educating the morals of the Companions as well as the Bil Hikmah method, Mauidzah hasanah method, Mujadalah method, the method of motivation, asking questions and throwing questions method, demonstrations method, stories method, imagery method, and rewards and punishments method. the inability of educators to choose methods or errors in the use of methods is often the trigger for not maximizing learning outcomes. In this study the researcher used the Poster comment method. This method aims to increase creativity and encourage students to reason with the problems faced. Based on the results of observations at Ma'arif 1 Ponorogo Middle Schoole the researchers found that the methods often used by teachers at the school were lecture and question and answer methods. This method affects the lack of attention of students to the teacher when explaining the lesson because of the monotonous method. It was found that of the 29 students who took the exam only 45% of students reached the KKM 75 standard. It was expected to improve learning values, and the learning activeness of 7th grade students of Ma'arif 1 Ponorogo Middle School so as to accelerate the achievement of learning goals

Emotional intelligence is a person’s ability to recognize self emotions, manage self emotions, motivate oneself, rocognize other people’s emotions (empathy) and the ability to foster relationships (cooperation) with others. While learning achievement is the result of learning from a learning activity carried out based on measurements and assessments of the results of learning activities in the academic field which are realized in the form of numbers in the report card. According to the results of recent research in the field of psychology prove that IQ is not the only factor that affects one's learning achievement, but there are many other factors that influence one of them is emotional intelligence. If students have high emotional intelligence, it will improve learning achievement. As is well known that learning achievement on Tarikh Islam, especially in class 4th grade KMI in Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor Putri Campus 2 is still relatively low. From these studies researchers have new ideas to improve learning achievement by studying and increasing emotional intelligence.

Abstract: The Indonesian Islam: Law and the Ideological Perspective. This article is aimed at exploring the development of Islam in Indonesia with particular references to the ideological perspective and its impact on Islamic law. At the beginning of the twentieth century, there were two ideologies in Indonesian Muslims. The first ideology believes that the consistence with traditions is very important while the other believes that Islamic teachings are able to change according to time and place. Although having difference in orientation, both ideologies devoted themselves to social, religious and political activities. In political sphere, however, both ideologies, were faced with secular nationalist ideology. Such a competition ended with a failure that made Indonesian Muslims receding into the background. After realizing of the failure in politics, both ideologies turn their orientation to cultural Islam. Through this orientation, peaceful and mutual understanding between Muslims and state began to grow. Subsequently, the government, especially New Order regime, identified itself with the religious activities and opened a chance to promote Islamic values. It was from such a relationship that the Islamic law gradually developed in Indonesia. Abstrak: Islam Indonesia: Perspektif Ideologis dan Hukum. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap perkembangan Islam di Indonesia dengan titik berat pada aspek ideologis dan pengaruhnya pada hukum Islam. Seperti dimaklumi, sejak awal abad ke-dua puluh, ada dua bentuk ideologi yang hidup di kalangan umat Islam Indonesia; Ideologi pertama percaya bahwa konsistensi dengan tradisi sangatlah penting sementara ideologi yang lain percaya bahwa ajaran Islam dapat berubah sesuai dengan tempat dan waktu. Meski berbeda orientasi, kedua ideologi tersebut sebenarnya sama-sama memiliki kepedulian terhadap dunia politik. Di dunia politik, kedua ideologi itu, dengan karakternya masing-masing, kemudian berhadapan dengan ideologi nasionalis sekuler. Kompetisi itu yang kemudian berujung kepada kegagalan dan membuat perkembangan umat Islam di Indonesia surut ke belakang. Setelah gagal dalam bidang politik, kedua ideologi tersebut mengubah orientasi mereka menjadi Islam kultural. Melalui orientasi ini, sikap saling memahami mulai terbangun antara antara umat Islam dan pemerintah. Bahkan, pada tahapan berikutnya, pemerintah, khususnya rezim Orde Baru, mengidentifikasikan dirinya dengan kegiatan keagamaan dan memberikan kesempatan untuk mempromosikan nilai-nilai Islam. Lewat hubungan yang demikian itulah hukum Islam di Indonesia secara berangsur-angsur berkembang.

Requirements engineering is the first phase of the software engineering process. This phase is the basis of other phases, so it is a very critical phase. Incomplete, ambiguous and misunderstanding requirements lead to fail in the product. For this reason, attention must be increased in requirements engineering to obtain accurate, complete and unambiguous requirements to satisfy users' needs in their products. In this paper, an attempt to analyze the requirement phase and produce analysis model is presented by using EA (Enterprise Architect) tool to offer a smart support for requirements engineering processes and introducing them as basis in requirements development in software engineering automation.

This paper present a simple method for reducing the linear higher order systems. The coefficient of the reduction model is obtained by using the modified dominant pole technique, while the coefficients of the numerator are obtained by reduced order model. Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is used to design a controller for the higher order system depended on the linear reducing equations. LQR without and with integral effect method are used and compared for controlling the higher order systems. The LQR controller are designed and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink. Simulation results show that both the controllers are capable of controlling the systems successfully. The LQR with integral gives the better performance, compared to when the system without it. the LQR controller scheme with smith predictor connection is suggested in order to maintain the stability of the higher order plant in addition to improve the performance of the controlled system. The simulation results for this scheme are tested with two higher order time delay systems to illustrate the efficient performance for the proposed control scheme.

ABSTRACT The kinetics of chlorination of N-acetylglycin (AG) with sodium N-chloro -p- toluene sulphonamide (CAT) in presence of HCL has been studied at 318 oK. The reaction rate shows afirst –order dependence each on [CAT] and [H+] and zero order dependence on [AG]. The Variation of ionic strength of the medium or chloride ion had no significant effect on the reaction rate. Addition of P-TSA is marginally affected the reaction rate. The rate increase with decreasing dielectric constant of the medium. The stiochiometry of the reaction was found 1:1 and the oxidation producte were identified. The thermodynamic parameters were computed. The mechanism proposed and the derived rate law were in agreement with the observed kinetics.
