The oral cavity harbors an immense diversity of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, archaea, protozoa and viruses. At health, oral microbial community is thought to be in a state of homeostasis, even after numerous perturbations (e.g., toothbrushing, food intake) a day. The breach in this homeostasis can occur for instance if the perturbations become too excessive (e.g., frequent carbohydrate intake leading to acidification of the community) or the host is compromised (e.g., inadequate immune response resulting in persistent inflammation of periodontal tissue). Aggressive antimicrobial therapy (e.g., antibiotics in case of periodontal disease or preventive antibiotic therapy before an...

Across the Muslim world, religion plays an increasingly prominent role in both the private and public lives of over a billion people. Will democratic political participation by an increasingly religious population lead to victories by Islamists at the ballot box? Will more conspicuously pious Muslims participate in politics and markets in a fundamentally different way than they had previously? Against the common assumption that piety would naturally inhibit any tendencies towards modernity, democracy, or cosmopolitanism, Piety and Public Opinion reveals the complex and subtle links between religion and political beliefs in a critically important Muslim democracy.
“The author of this book, Sudhamek, is not only a successful businessman, he also possesses a high humanitarian social concern. This book is a fine weave between business theory and noble aspirations that form its main message.” –Ahmad Syafii Maarif “Before reading this book, I have truly believed that business and spirituality are two things that cannot be united. Like oil and water. Between the worldly and the heavenly.

The thought breakthrough provided in this book is crucial for everyone, especially busine...

Di luar jam kantor dan akhir pekan, Mas Arif Biantoro melepas semua atribut kepolisiannya untuk mengebunkan 550 saca Plukenetia volubilis di lahan 5.000 m2. Anggota staf bidang Sistem Pengawasan (Siwas) Kepolisian Resor Tanahlaut, Kalimantan Selatan, itu menanam saca sejak awal 2020. Ketika tanaman berbuah 7—8 bulan kemudian, ia menjual ke pengolah di Kabupaten Kotabaru seharga Rp7.000 per kg.

Ia memanen sebulan sekali sehingga dalam lima bulan mendapat tambahan penghasilan kotor Rp9,6 juta. Seiring dengan penambahan umur, produktivitas pun meningkat.
“Coba lihat ini, Kang!” Disodorkannya koran pada Pairin yang langsung ikut cekikikan. Di halaman muka, ada berita soal kampanye pencalonan Kiai Romli jadi bupati sewaktu pengajian di alun-alun. Mereka bertiga cekikikan sampai keretanya datang. Mereka bersiap naik. Tak dinyana, petugas penjaga pesantren ternyata sudah sampai stasiun. Mereka buru-buru naik kereta. Khawatir tertangkap, mereka mengambil bangku paling pojok. Agar tak ketahuan, mereka menutupi mukanya dengan pura-pura tenang membaca koran. Dua orang petugas pesantren masuk dalam gerbong yang Pairin, Slamet, dan Kodir tempati. Dasar apes, koran yang menutupi muka mereka justru menarik perhatian dua petugas itu. Menyadari hal itu, mereka bertiga cuma gemetar ketakutan sambil berdoa. “Lihat itu,” tunjuk salah satu di antara mereka, “foto kita bersama Kiai Romli masuk halaman pertama koran hari ini.” Dua petugas itu ganti cekikikan
