Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid (DNA) in the Alquran Perspective

Nahyulia Liza Utari — 2024-07-28

Biological facts have been mentioned in the Alquran, which was revealed over 1400 years ago and is proven correct by scientists today. This study focuses on implicit and explicit interpretations of human creation, biological development, and genetic concepts. By using a multidisciplinary approach that combines the maudhu'i method of interpretation, scientific and genetic approaches, as well as textual, intertextual, and contextual interpretation techniques. This study found a connection between Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid (DNA) and the Alquran that is implied in the concept of “nutfah”. The analysis shows that the Alquran mentions various fluids involved in the fertilization process, including sperm, poured fluid, hated fluid, and mixed fluid. This research emphasizes the role of Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid (DNA) as the “master key” that controls human physical and mental functions, and its interaction with the environment in activating certain genes. Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid (DNA) is understood as the “blueprint of life” that stores biological information and plays an important role in the transmission of hereditary traits.

Effect of Load Cooling on the Performance of Steam Power Plant Condensers

Junil Adri — 2024-07-28

This study analyzes the impact of cooling load on condenser performance in the Steam Power Plant. The condenser, as a heat exchanger, plays a critical role in condensing steam from the turbine back into liquid form, thus maintaining the continuous cycle of the steam power system. Survey-based research was conducted, with data collected on steam and cooling water temperatures at various stages. The steam inlet and outlet temperatures were recorded at 514°C and 465°C, respectively, with cooling water entering at 32.9°C and exiting at 38.9°C at a flow rate of 100 m³/h. Using the Log Mean Temperature Difference method, initial and final temperature differences were calculated at 453°C and 465°C. Results suggest that tube fouling or leakage contributes to declining condenser efficiency, which can significantly reduce power plant performance. This study highlights the importance of regular maintenance and monitoring of condenser units to optimize thermal efficiency and power generation output.

Novia Novia — 2024-07-28

The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of Payo rice products and prices on consumer repurchase decisions. This research is quantitative research that thinks inductively, namely capturing various facts and social phenomena through observations in the field. The population of this research is consumers or people who buy Payo rice. The total sample was 150 consumers. The data analysis techniques used are descriptive analysis, analysis requirements testing and hypothesis testing with logistic regression analysis. The results of this research found that i) Product has a significant effect on the decision to repurchase Payo rice. Improved consumer perception of Payo rice will encourage consumers to repurchase Payo rice. ii) Price has a significant effect on the decision to repurchase Payo rice. The better consumer perception of the price of Payo rice will encourage consumers to repurchase Payo rice. It is hoped that from these findings, shops selling Payo rice can pay attention to the quality of Payo rice that consumers want to encourage consumer loyalty. In addition, setting prices that consumers consider appropriate will strengthen their desire to make repeat purchases. This can help rice shop owners in designing effective marketing strategies to maintain and increase the Payo rice customer base.

The Innovative Econometric Approaches for Predicting Myanmar's Central Region as a New Economic Hub

Kyi Zaw Myint — 2024-07-28

This quantitative study aims to develop a data-driven framework for optimizing infrastructure investments in Myanmar’s Central Region, identified as a prospective economic hub. Integrating the Cobb-Douglas Production Function, Ridge Regression, and Composite Index Analysis, the framework systematically evaluates four key economic inputs: private capital, labor, transport infrastructure, and public infrastructure and GDP output. Ridge Regression addresses multicollinearity in government budget data, improving stability and reliability of coefficient estimates, while the Composite Index aggregates these inputs into a single metric of economic potential. Findings reveal that the Central Region scores highest, highlighting its readiness to become Myanmar’s next economic hub through strategic infrastructure investments. This robust methodology surpasses traditional models by providing policymakers with a practical tool to reduce regional disparities and prioritize high-impact investments. The study’s implications extend beyond Myanmar, offering a scalable model adaptable for other developing economies facing similar infrastructure and growth challenges.
