Transmission of Islamic Values in Public School: A Study at State Senior High School 5 Yogyakarta

The process of transmitting Islamic values to the younger generation remains an appealing study as Indonesia is a country with the largest Muslim population in the world. Unfortunately, previous studies on this topic focused more on the process of transmitting these values through formal and informal religious based educational institutions. This research took a unique position to study the Islamic values transmission within non-religious based public school. This qualitative research employed the case study approach to examine the process of instilling Islamic values in public schools. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and study of relevant documentation. The collected data were analyzed using the inductive interactive techniques of the Miles and Huberman models. This study showed that 1) the values of iman-taqwa (faith-piety) and akhlaq mulia (good morals) were an important embodiment of affection-based educational programs in schools. 2) These values were instilled by the school through a habituation process, supported by the function of the principal and teachers as role models and the important role of Rohis (Islamic organization). The inculcation of Islamic values was not only carried out by religious education teachers, but also transmitted by secular subject teachers as well as extracurricular activities. The findings of this study confirmed that public schools in Indonesia were now transformed as important instruments for the transmission of Islamic values to young Muslims. This research suggests important recommendations on the need to develop the capacity of teachers in schools to make them agents of moderation of Islamic values.
Regional Social Capital and Economic Growth: Exploratory Evidence from Testing the Virtuous Spiral vs. Vicious Cycle Model for Greece

The aim of the present study is to analyze social capital as a spatial resource that regions might use differently in their developmental process. We propose a theoretical framework in order to identify the different regional social capital workings as leading to either an open system of relations (the virtuous social capital—development spiral) or to a rather closed system of relations (the vicious social capital—development cycle). At the empirical level, we test the presence of these two developmental paths by two operational hypotheses that are tested through the development and use of appropriate entropy technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) techniques. Our analysis involves an inclusive theorization of social capital as composed of trust, norms/values, and networks. Using individual and aggregate level economic indicators, we obtain different rankings of the Greek regions compared to the initial entropy weights rankings. Overall, our results provide support to the presence of both developmental paths in the case of Greece while the Greek regions might be categorized as dynamic, stagnant, and unstable.
The organization and probable evolution of some mixed species flocks of Neotropical birds

The organization and probable evolntion of some mixed species flocks of Neotropical birds. --M. Moynihan. Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, vol. 143, no. 7. Pp. 1-140, 1962. $1.50. --This important paper, based upon three years' study in Panama, should be considered in conjunction with the author's earlier study of adaptations that promote interspecific gregariousness (Proc. XHth Internat. Ornith. Congr., pp. 523-541, 1960). Major contributions are the attempt to quantify observations in terms of associations of species, non-hostile joining or following reactions, supplanting attacks, etc., and the interpretation of the findings in behavioral terms. Data presented as examples collected during a two-month interval occupy 44 tables. Moynihan's principal effort was directed to the study of a grouping occupying lowland forest edge (the blue and green tanacer and honeycreeper "alliance"), with extensive comparisons with montane flocks, and with other groupings incidentally. As a consequence of these studies he extended the terminology of Winterbottom and D. E. Davis, characterizing the social roles of members of mixed species flocks in the following four categories: nuclear (stimulating formation or maintaining cohesion) versus attendant, and regular (approaching or being approached often) versus occasional. Nuclear species were subdivided into active (those that follow or join individuals of other species more frequently than they are joined or followed) and passive. Species of the latter category usually exhibit pronounced intraspecific gregariousness, and attract individuals of other species by their conspicuousness of manner and voice, and probably by their numbers as well. The author demonstrates positive "special interspecific preferences" (in contrast to "generalized gregariousness"), and throughout the account one gains the impression of characteristic and rather constant interspecific reactions recurring under similar conditions. Mixed species flocks are judged to have evolved through development of preferences for "attractive" species. The primary advantage subserving the flocking in the Panamanian lowland group is thought to be the enhanced detection of predators. Such flocks appear more prevalent in peripheral parts of the New World tropics than in the Amazon Basin, leading to the suggestion that the flocking habit is more strongly developed in habitats that are less favorable or partially isolated. This pattern appears to parallel the increase in cohesiveness in temperate-latitude flocks with the onset of unfavorable weather.
Mothers’ knowledge of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and infant feeding practices in Juba, South Sudan

Introduction: While exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life is recommended for HIV-infected mothers, this may not be practiced fullyin South Sudan; exclusive formula feeding, which is the best alternative to breastfeeding, may not be practical.Objective: To assess the knowledge of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (MTCT) and practices of feeding infants in the first six months of life among HIV-infected mothers attending Antiretroviral Therapy Centres in Juba Teaching Hospital (JTH) and Juba Military Hospital (JMH). Method: A cross-sectional study in which 304 HIV-infected mothers with children aged 6-18 months were interviewed between October and December 2016 using structured questionnaires. Key informant interviews (KIIs) and focus group discussions (FGDs) were also conducted using interview guides. Quantitative data was analysed using Statistics Package for Social Sciences software. Chi-square test was used to test the presence of significant association between the variables and the association is statistically significant when the p-value is < 0.05. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify which predictor variables have major effect on the dependent variable. Qualitative data was transcribed in English and summarized according to the key themes, and the information obtained was used to supplement and interpret the findings of the quantitative data.Results: Only 120 (40%) of the HIV-infected mothers had a good knowledge of MTCT; 213 mothers (70.1%) practiced mixed feeding, 70 (23.0%) practiced exclusive breastfeeding and 20 (6.6%) practiced exclusive formula feeding. The factors that were found to have a positive effect on choice of infant feeding methods were having more than one child (odds ratio = 0.303, 95% Confidence interval: 0.161-0.571, p = 0.001) and participation in the prevention of motherto-child transmission of HIV programme (PMTCT) (odds ratio = 2.260, 95% Confidence interval: 1.251-4.084, p = 0.007). Stigma (p = 0.248) and mothers’ knowledge of MTCT (p = 0.072) were not statistically significantly associated with the mothers’ infant feeding practices.Conclusion: Knowledge of MTCT is low. Mixed feeding before six months of age is predominant among the HIV-infected mothers. It is thereforerecommended that HIV-infected mothers receive adequate information from counsellors regarding MTCT and exclusive breastfeeding for the first six monthsof an infant’s life. Key words: Knowledge, infant feeding, HIV-infected mothers, Juba.
A Comparison of Solo and Pair Programming in Terms of Flow Experience, Coding Quality, and Coding Achievement

Cooperative learning manifests itself as pair programming in coding education. There is a limited number of studies experimentally demonstrating that pair programming is effective in the educational context. Therefore, in this study, solo and pair programming were compared in terms of flow experience, coding quality, and coding achievement. The method used in this study is a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. The study group consists of 42 volunteer senior university students (28 males, 14 females). While solo programming was performed in the control group, pair programming was performed in the experimental group. It was concluded that the flow experience of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group in four weeks of the six-week implementation, whereas the coding quality of the experimental group was higher in three weeks. No difference was found in the other weeks in terms of both flow experience and coding quality. Although the coding achievement of both the control and experimental groups increased in the study, the experimental group did not exhibit better performance in terms of coding achievement. In conclusion, since it was revealed in this study that pair programming is effective, it is recommended to use pair programming more frequently in educational settings.
Gamma Irradiation Induced Chlorophyll and Morphological Mutation in Kipas Putih Soybean

Kipas Putih soybean seed was treated by gamma ray irradiation with irradiation dose of 100 Gy, 200 Gy and 300 Gy to study number and types of mutant contained in M 2 generation. The results showed that there are several types and numbers of soybean mutant in M 2 generation such as chlorophyll mutants (viridis, xantha, waxy and variegata), leaflet mutants (unifoliate, bifoliate, quadrifoliate, pentafoliate, narrow-rugose leaflet, wrinkled leaf) and sterile mutants (undeveloped rasim flower, half sterility and full sterility). Some types of mutants in M 2 generation clearly show that gamma-ray irradiation can be effectively used to assemble genetic diversity in plants.
An update on potential applications of L-carnitine in poultry

L-carnitine (B-hydroxy-Y-N-trimethyl aminobutyrate) is a water-soluble product, found in animals, plants and microorganisms. Its synthesis takes place from two important amino acids, lysine and methionine. Essentially, L-carnitine has an intermediary role in metabolism. It promotes energy metabolism for cell and regulates co-enzyme A concentration in cystosol and mitochondria, which are important in glucose and lipid metabolism. L-carnitine was first isolated from the chicken embryo in a significant amount, but is absent in the egg. Under normal physiological conditions, the endogenously synthesised levels are sufficient for normal growth and functions. Its requirements are increased in stressful conditions and during metabolic and physiological higher demands, such as growth and laying periods. L-carnitine increases energy production, fat metabolism and improves immune status in birds, which is energy demanding. In this review, several aspects of the beneficial effects of dietary supplementation of L-carnitine on poultry health and production are briefly summarised.
Behaviour and ability of a cyprinid (Schizopygopsis younghusbandi) to cope with accelerating flows when migrating downstream

The migration corridors in regulated rivers lead downstream fish migrants, particularly juveniles to pass through water infrastructure. Accelerating flow, experienced by fish, might trigger avoidance behaviour and then influence the downstream migration efficacy. It is essential to understand the causes of avoidance behaviour exhibited by downstream migratory fish in accelerating flow. In this study, the effect of three different accelerating flows on the downstream migration behaviour of Schizopygopsis younghusbandi (S.Y) was investigated using a constriction wedge in a circulating flume. The results showed that some fish (30%, 23%, and 39% under low, medium, and high flow conditions, respectively) repeatedly attempted to burst upstream with positive rheotaxis prior to successful passage downstream. Under the low‐, medium‐, and high‐accelerating levels, the average fish swimming speeds were 89.19, 91.28, and 111.94 cm/s, respectively; these values were close to the critical swimming speed (110.42 cm/s) of the target fish. The water velocities at the fish avoidance points were centrally distributed at approximately 73.03 cm/s. Regarding turbulence, the results exhibited that the S.Y generally responded to a discrete range of <50 cm2/s2 of turbulent kinetic energy and < 2 N/m2 of the horizontal component of the Reynolds shear stress (RSSxy). Also, the fish that exhibited avoidance behaviour were not centrally distributed in the lateral and longitudinal velocity locations, where there was an abrupt change in the gradient. This study highlighted the impact of accelerating flow on the downstream fish migration behaviour of a cyprinid. Furthermore, this study quantified the hydraulic factors that triggered this avoidance. Thus, it provided experimental support for optimizing the design of the hydraulic factors for downstream fishways.
Probabilistic Count Matrix Factorization for Single Cell Expression Data Analysis

The development of high throughput single-cell technologies now allows the investigation of the genome-wide diversity of transcription. This diversity has shown two faces: the expression dynamics (gene to gene variability) can be quantified more accurately, thanks to the measurement of lowly-expressed genes. Second, the cell-to-cell variability is high, with a low proportion of cells expressing the same gene at the same time/level. Those emerging patterns appear to be very challenging from the statistical point of view, especially to represent and to provide a summarized view of single-cell expression data. PCA is one of the most powerful framework to provide a suitable representation of high dimensional datasets, by searching for new axis catching the most variability in the data. Unfortunately, classical PCA is based on Euclidean distances and projections that work poorly in presence of over-dispersed counts that show zero-inflation. We propose a probabilistic Count Matrix Factorization (pCMF) approach for single-cell expression data analysis, that relies on a sparse Gamma-Poisson factor model. This hierarchical model is inferred using a variational EM algorithm. We show how this probabilistic framework induces a geometry that is suitable for single-cell data, and produces a compression of the data that is very powerful for clustering purposes. Our method is competed to other standard representation methods like t-SNE, and we illustrate its performance for the representation of single-cell data. We especially focus on a publicly available data set, being single-cell expression profile of neural stem cells.
Administrative and Organizational Support for Substantive Teacher Talk: Lessons from Early-Career Teachers in Two Midwestern Districts

ABSTRACT External accountability pressures force school leaders to examine how they support effective teacher practice. Providing collaborative work time to evaluate student performance and plan for future teaching has been a common strategy to support teacher practice. We assess how teachers from two districts with differently-structured curricular policies talked about mathematics lesson planning. This analysis reveals three concrete steps that school leaders can take to support teachers in ways that encourage more substantive collaborative planning: provide guidance related to curricular materials and sequencing of topics; define expectations governing content of meetings; and specify how teachers should prepare for formal meetings.
Enabling the HR function of industrial SMEs through the strategic alignment of e-HRM: a configurational analysis

Abstract There remains a knowledge gap and a theory-practice gap with regards to our understanding of the assimilation of e-HRM by SMEs. To fill these gaps, and from a capability-based view and a configurational perspective, we demonstrate that the firm’s e-HRM capabilities and high-performance work system (HPWS) capabilities enable its human resource (HR) function to the extent that these capabilities constitute strategically coherent configurations. Survey data obtained from 206 industrial SMEs were analysed with the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method to answer the research question, that is, to identify the specific combinations of HPWS and e-HRM capabilities that are associated to high levels of performance of the HR function. Five configurations were thus identified, i.e. five different combinations of HPWS and e-HRM capabilities that equally lead to effective HRM in SMEs, labelled as HR-IT Analyzers, HR-IT Non-Prospectors1 and 2, and HR-IT Non-Defenders1 and 2. We found that a configurational approach is theoretically well-suited to apprehend the complex interplay of HR and IT resources that underlies the strategic HR-IT alignment process, and to better understand industrial SMEs’ strategic choices in this regard. Our findings also provide further comprehension of the strategic capabilities required by SMEs to enable their digital transformation.
Effect of Supplementation of QPM Maize Fodder on Production Performance in Large White Yorkshire Grower Pigs

Eighteen Large White Yorkshire grower pigs were divided into three groups using randomized block design and they were supplemented with 0, 5 and 10% QPM maize fodder to the basal diet by replacing (wt/wt on DM) the maize grains and designated as T1, T2 and T3 respectively. The protein content of the experimental diet was 18.63 ± 0.25, 18.51 ± 0.18 and 18.37 ± 0.11 while protein content of QPM maize fodder was 7.95 ± 0.04. Dry matter intake was found similar across the treatment groups. There was no significant difference on nutrient digestibility across the treatment groups. Similarly, there was no significant difference on average daily gain (g/day), feed intake per kg gain (FCR) and feed cost per kg gain. However, FCR and feed cost per kg gain was found better at 5% and 10% supplementation of maize fodder in the diet. Feed cost per kg gain was reduced by Rs.7. 17 and Rs.11. 59 at 5% and 10% supplementation of QPM maize fodder. From this study it is concluded that supplementation of QPM maize fodder to grower Large White Yorkshire pigs has economic benefit without affecting the growth and nutrient utilization and can be supplemented up to 5% in the diet of LWY pigs without affecting the performances.
A note on the estimation and inference with quadratic inference functions for correlated outcomes

Abstract The quadratic inference function approach is a popular method in the analysis of correlated data. The quadratic inference function is formulated based on multiple sets of score equations (or extended score equations) that over-identify the regression parameters of interest, and improves efficiency over the generalized estimating equations under correlation misspecification. In this note, we provide an alternative solution to the quadratic inference function by separately solving each set of score equations and combining the solutions. We provide an insight that an optimally weighted combination of estimators obtained separately from the distinct sets of score equations is asymptotically equivalent to the estimator obtained via the quadratic inference function. We further establish results on inference for the optimally weighted estimator and extend these insights to the general setting with over-identified estimating equations. A simulation study is carried out to confirm the analytical insights and connections in finite samples.
Worker polymorphism in the arboricolous ant Liometopum microcephalum (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Dolichoderinae): Is it related to territory size?

Liometopum microcephalum (PANZER, 1798) is a rare arboricolous ant, which forms large colonies of high ecological importance and ranks at the top position in the hierarchy of ant assemblages. Many aspects of the species' biology remain unknown due to its scattered occurrence and bad nest accessibility. Published information is sometimes inconsistent, such as in the case of worker polymorphism. Our objectives were (1) to determine the level of polymorphism, (2) to ascertain if workers occupied by different tasks differ in size, and (3) to assess the effect of competitors, habitat type and territory size (proxy for colony size) on worker size. Fifteen colonies, with or without a competing ant species in their vicinity, were sampled in spring and summer 2011 in the south-eastern part of the Czechia. Head width, head length, hind femur and tibia lengths were measured as indices of worker size. Territory areas, assessed during each sampling, served as an indicator of the size and vitality of individual colonies. Worker size variability was continuous, with a broad size range for all measured characters within each studied colony. We found different levels of polymorphism for measured body parts in individual colonies: isometry and simple, diphasic and triphasic allometry; in most colonies, the level changed in the course of time. Generally, workers collected in spring were larger than those collected in summer (p < 0.0001). We did not find any differences between workers performing different tasks outside the nest. We found a positive correlation between territory size and body size, represented by mean femur length (p = 0.0068). Territory size was affected by the presence of behaviourally dominant ant species (p = 0.0036), in particular Lasius fuliginosus (LATREILLE, 1798). We conclude that in contrast to information in literature the species is not truly dimorphic and even colonies seemingly made of workers of one size class contain a wide range of worker sizes.
Adoption Status of Improved Animal Husbandry Practices and its Relationship with the Profile of Dairy Farmers in Kheda District of Gujarat

This study was conducted to ascertain the extent of adoption of improved dairy husbandry practices and its relationship with the profile of the dairy farmers in the Kheda district of Gujarat. The study was undertaken in four randomly selected talukas of the district, from which 100 dairy farmers were selected randomly. The study revealed that the overall extent of adoption of improved animal husbandry practices in the study area was found to be about 62.78%. The overall highest adoption rate was for reproductive and healthcare management (81.40 and 81.33%) followed by feeding and calf management (77.00 and 62.00%), while the adoption of scientific milking and general management (37.60 and 37.30%) was the lowest. Education, landholding, annual income, and herd size of the dairy farmers had a highly significant (p less than 0.01) positive relationship. In comparison, social participation and mass media of the dairy farmers had significant (p less than 0.05) positive relationship with adoption of improved animal husbandry practices. However, family size, experience, and attitude towards dairy farming had a significant negative correlation with the improved animal husbandry practices. The independent variables considered in the present study explained about 38.20% variation (r2 = 0.38) in adoption of the improved dairy husbandry practices.
