This research aims to analyze the role of zakat distribution program specifically in eradicating poverty and reducing income inequality among groups in urban and rural areas. The research takes the case study of 1,309 zakat beneficiaries managed by the National Zakat Board of Indonesia (abbreviated as BAZNAS) as the coordinating zakat institution i

A protocol of LCC data input requirements process has been developed, evaluated, validated and tested with a group of people that have knowledge, skills and experience in LCC analysis of road pavement. The protocol provides procedures that can facilitate the clients, researchers and LCC practitioners in performing the task to identify, access, upda

This paper proposes a conceptual framework for modeling psychology in Islamic wealth management. Incorporating psychology into finance would significantly contribute to our understanding of the behavior of individual investors as well as market behavior. Utilizing the findings of behavioral finance and financial therapy, along with industry mega-tr

Fault tolerance or the property that enables a system to continue its operation properly in the event of partial failure is one of the most desired criteria in swarm robotic systems. There is a possibility that a continuous failure of the member(s) of the swarm, will reflect on the overall performance of the systems. In this paper, we proposed an i

Erwinia amylovora is a Gram-negative enterobacterium that causes a devastating blight disease on rosaceous plants. In this study, the structure of DspF, a type III secretion system (T3SS) chaperone required for virulence of E. amylovora, was investigated in bacterial growth and pathogenesis in host and non-host plants, including apple, strawberry,

In the Erwinia amylovora genome, the hrp gene cluster containing the dspA/E/EB/F operon plays a crucial role in mediating the pathogenicity and the hypersensitive response (HR) in the host plant. The role of the dspA/E gene derived from E. amylovora was investigated by monitoring the expression of the b-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter system in transg

Improvements of temperature dependence of certain characteristics of quantum dot solar cell using InN as active material of the device structure has been reported in this paper. A numerical analysis of temperature dependence of different parametric characteristics related to carriers within a quantum dot solar cell has been carried out in this rese

Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) attracts industries to adopt it for its high productivity and flexibility. Recent improvement of FMS focuses on real-time tracking to ease planning, control and inspection to final product. One of the potential tools to be used in tracking, monitoring and controlling the final products is the Radio Frequency Iden

This paper presents modeling of a 12-degree of freedom (DoF) bipedal robot, focusing on the lower limbs of the system, and trajectory design for walking on straight path. Gait trajectories are designed by modeling of center of mass (CoM) trajectory and swing foot ankle trajectory based on stance foot ankle. The dynamic equations of motion of the bi

One of the main challenges for any manufacturer is how to decrease the machining cost without affecting the final quality of the product. One of the new advanced machining processes in industry is the high speed hard end milling process that merges three advanced machining processes: high speed milling, hard milling and dry milling. However, one of
