Competency Profile School Counselor in Managing Guidance and Counseling Services in Madrasah in Garut Regency, Indonesia

The study aims to determine the competency profile of school counselors at a madrasah in managing guidance and counseling services which include the ability to conduct need assessments, program planning, program implementation, evaluation of program implementation, activity reports, and the follow-up of program development. The method used is descriptive method with research subjects were 25 school counselors of madrasah both public and private by using a data collection instrument in the form of a questionnaire totaling 36 statements. The results showed that the competence of the school counselor of madrasah in managing guidance and counseling services as many as 43% was generally in the poor category, 37% was in a good category and the rest 20% was very good. Thus it can be concluded that basically the school counselor of madrasah in Garut Regency has not been able to manage guidance and counseling services properly. The implications of this study of school counselors can fix things that are still weak and less precise with the objectives to be achieved. School counselors can also develop programs by adding or changing some things that can improve the service quality or the effectiveness of the program.
Need for Cognitive Closure, Information Acquisition and Adoption of Green Prevention and Control Technology

Abstract In this paper, we use the OLS regression method to analyse the influencing mechanism of the NFCC on farmers’ adoption of green prevention and control technology and further verify the mediating effect of information acquisition. The results show that the NFCC has a direct effect on the adoption of green prevention and control technology, and information acquisition has a mediating effect. The first stage of cognitive closure has a more significant effect on farmers’ adoption of green prevention and control technology, information acquisition ability has a significant positive impact on farmers’ adoption of green prevention and control technology, and information acquisition has an incomplete mediating effect on the impact of cognitive closure on the adoption of green prevention and control technologies. This paper further studies and verifies the action path of two dimensions of the NFCC on farmers’ adoption of green prevention and control technology. The results have certain theoretical significance for expanding the knowledge of farmers’ green prevention and control technology behaviour and further enriching the research on farmers’ cognition.
The impact of auditory attention disorders on the quality of life of elderly people

Abstract Introduction: In addition to prolonging the length of life, one of the challenges in modern human life sciences is to improve the quality of life in the elderly, who are often facing numerous crises at their age. Thus, there is a growing interest in studies aimed at analyzing quality of life with a view to identifying the needs of older people and improving the way the elderly function in society. The aim of the present study is to investigate the characteristics of hearing in elderly people and their views on the relationship between hearing and quality of life. As such, 2 research questions were asked: 1. What is the declared quality of life of older people? 2. Is there a connection between hearing and quality of life? Materials and methods: The study involved 34 people aged 60–90 years with an average age of 73.77 years. The participants were divided into 2 age groups: early ageing (60–74 years old, 46.4%) and late ageing (75–90 years old, 53.6%). More than half of the respondents (59.3%) were in a diagnosed disability class, of which 31.2% were in the 1st disability class, 50.0% in the 2nd disability class, and 18.8% in the 3rd disability class. None of the respondents were registered in a disability class due to an audtory disability. Only 4 people (14.8%) declared having a hearing aid. The following research methods were used: a diagnostic survey with the use of the Quality of Life Questionnaire by Straś-Romanowska et al., and auditory attention diagnosis with the use of Tomatis® Listening Test System (TLTS). Results: The results of the study revealed a directly proportional relationship between quality of life and the speech and emotional ranges of sound perception. This means that a loss in air conduction hearing increases significantly with higher levels of global quality of life (p < 0.03; p < 0.005). In the motor hearing range, an inversely proportional relationship was observed, i.e. sound perception at a lower decibel level can be noted along with higher global quality of life and quality of life in its psychosocial dimension. Conclusions: The study results confirm the hypothesis that the perceived quality of life among the elderly is generally at a satisfactory level. The greatest changes take place in the psychosocial dimension during early aging and psychophysical dimension during late aging.
The Parameters of Cleaning a CIP System Affected Energy Consumption and Cleaning Efficiency of the Plate Heat Exchanger

This paper presents a study on the effect of cleaning factors on the energy consumption of the cleaning process in a CIP system, and the correlation between single components of electricity necessary to perform this process and the cleanliness degree obtained. Studies were carried out in a laboratory cleaning station, wherein a plate heat exchanger contaminated with hot milk was included. The research program was developed according to a 5-level statistical plan. Based on the results, obtained with Experiment Planner 1.0, a regression function of energy requirement considering variables such as: cleaning time, temperature and flow rate of the cleaning liquid via the cleaned exchanger has been developed. Describing this relationship, linear and quadratic functions with double interactions were used. Significance level for the analysis was established at α = 0.05. Correlation analysis between components of the electricity necessary to perform the cleaning process (pump drive and heating of the cleaning agent) and the resulting degree of cleaning of heat exchanger plates was performed.

This study intends to provide theory-driven empirical findings of the factors affecting users’ loyalty to a collaborative commerce platform provider and further suggests that the platform loyalty lead to future extended use of collaborative commerce services. DeLone and McLean model serves as a basic framework for this study. Our variation of the model tested the impact of perceived value, relationship quality, and service quality on platform loyalty, which would influence future extended use of collaboration commerce services. Our results confirm that perceived value and platform quality were the best predictors for platform loyalty, which in turn, had a positive influence on future extended use intention.
Acute effects of weighted plyometric exercise on sprint, agility and jump performance in university football players

Background: Conditioning activities such as resistance training can cause excitation of central nervous system resulting in Post-activation Potentiation phenomenon. Plyometric exercise also has an important role to develop Post-activation Potentiation following a resistance stimulus. So the purpose the study was to investigate the immediate effects of weighted plyometric exercise on sprint, agility and jump performance. Materials and methods: Twenty male university football players (age=21.3±1.5 years, body mass=63.3±9.5 kg, height=169.8±6.4 m) participated in this Single group pre-test post-test study. Agility Time (AT), Sprint Time (ST) and Counter-Movement Jump (CMJ) height were measured prior to and 1st and 5th minutes following plyometric exercise. Results: A repeated measures ANOVA employed at baseline (T0), 1 minute (T1), and 5 minutes (T5) post intervention showed significant effect for all the three outcome measures (p<0.001). Post-hoc Bonferroni pairwise comparison showed a significant decrease in both AT and ST from baseline to assessments at both T1 (p<0.001) and T5 (p<0.001), whereas there was a significant increase in the CMJ height. However, no statistical difference was found between T1 and T5 (p=0.058) in ST, but AT was significantly lower at T5 than at T1 (p=0.008), and CMJ height showed significant increase from T1 to T5 (p=0.001). Conclusion: Our results suggest that weighted plyometric exercises have an acute response on sprint, agility and counter movement jump (CMJ Height) following Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP) effect developed after plyometric exercises.
A two stage converging genetic algorithm for graph clustering

ABSTRACT Graph clustering is a classical problem, and is proven to be NP-complete. It is at the core of many useful algorithms, like Network and VLSI design, computer graphics, data mining etc. In recent years, with exponential increase in the use of social network and strong incentive for creating applications exploiting the information hidden in these networks, clustering of large graphs (social networks) has become an important research topic. As the problem is NP-complete, various heuristic algorithms are proposed to find near optimal solutions efficiently. Optimization criteria are defined depending on the applications. Two important criteria for all heuristic algorithms are quality of the result and its stability over different runs on the same problem. In this work, we proposed a two stage genetic algorithm for network clustering. Modularity index for the partitioned graph is the criterion to optimize. By experimenting with several real-life networks, we have shown that our algorithm is stable and delivers a high modularity partitioning compared to other competitive heuristic algorithms. The stability of the algorithm is analyzed through simulations.
Effects of different autoclaving parameters on the nutritional compositions of raw milk samples

As milk provides a substantial amount of vitamins and minerals in relation to its energy content, it is considered a nutrient dense food.The difference and changes in the nutritional compositions (Protein, fat, carbohydrate, moisture content, ash content, fibre content, magnesium and calcium) of White Fulani, Sokoto Gudali and mixture of the two breeds were investigated before and after autoclaving of milk samples in glass, aluminium and stainless steel containers at various temperatures of 110°C ,121°Cand 130°C with autoclaving time of 10minutes, 20 minutes and 30 minutes. The heat treatment was done using MADONAX YX-280A Vertical Column Autoclave of 18Litre capacity of pressure of 0.14MPa – 0.165MPa. The results were evaluated using ANOVA at p≤0.05. The significant difference was evaluated using the DNMRT.Chemical test carried out on the samples before and after autoclaving showed significant variation in (Protein, fat, carbohydrate, moisture content, ash content, fibre content, magnesium and calcium content (p<0.05) after autoclaving. Carbohydrate content in milk increases at 30mins for all the temperature and materials, carbohydrate content in white Fulani 9.56% is higher than other milk source. Moisture content reduced for all conditions with no preference to any autoclaving parameter. Both calcium and magnesium reduced for all milk samples (12.38%, 12.92%, 12.83%) and (7.90%, 5.89%, 4.24%) respectively. At higher temperature of 130C the fat content in milk decreases in both glass material and stainless steel which makes aluminium a preferable storage material.
Evolutionary Minimization of Traffic Congestion

Traffic congestion is a major issue that can be solved by suggesting drivers alternative routes they are willing to take. This concept has been formalized as a strategic routing problem in which a single alternative route is suggested to an existing one. We extend this formalization and introduce the multiple-routes (MRs) problem, which is given a start and destination and aims at finding up to <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$n$ </tex-math></inline-formula> different routes that the drivers strategically disperse over, minimizing the overall travel time of the system. Due to the <bold>NP</bold>-hard nature of the problem, we introduce the MRs evolutionary algorithm (MREA) as a heuristic solver. We study several mutation and crossover operators and evaluate them on real-world data of Berlin, Germany. We find that a combination of all operators yields the best result, reducing the overall travel time by a factor between 1.8 and 3, in the median, compared to all drivers taking the fastest route. 6mm]Please cite reference <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">[2]</xref> in the text of the paper. It was removed from the abstract as having reference in an abstract is contrary to IEEE journal style.For the base case <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$n=2$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, we compare our MREA to the highly tailored optimal solver by Bläsius et al. (2020), and show that, in the median, our approach finds solutions of quality at least 99.69% of an optimal solution while only requiring 40% of the time.
Correlation of serum amylase level with the severity of acute organophosphorus compounds poisoning

Background: Organophosphorus (OP) poisoning is a common mode of suicidal poisoning in our country and is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Serum amylase has shown a promising role in the assessment of the severity of OP poisoning. We conducted this study to see the association of serum amylase level with acute OP poisoning severity. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 150 patients admitted with acute OP poisoning to the inpatient department of medicine of a tertiary hospital in Bangladesh from July 2016 to June 2018. Peradeniya organophosphorus poisoning scale was used to detect clinical severity. Serum amylase was measured on the day of admission. Results: The patients' mean age was 23.68±6.80 years, and 65.3% were male. As assessed by the POP scale, 56.7%, 34.7%, and 8.7% of patients had mild, moderate, and severe grades of OP poisoning, respectively. The median serum amylase level was 103.50 (IQR 73.75-156.0) IU/l; 44.7% of the subjects had normal, and 53.3% had an elevated serum amylase. A progressive increase in serum amylase level was observed with the increasing severity of OP poisoning; 77.0 IU/l (IQR 58.0-97.0) in mild grade, 154.0 IU/l (IQR 125.25-162.5) in moderate grade, and 298.0 IU/l (IQR 289.5-305.0) in severe grade and the differences in the median amylase across the three groups were statistically significant (p<0.001). A significant positive correlation between serum amylase level and POP scale score (r=0.970; p<0.001) was also observed. Conclusions: Serum amylase level may be used as a readily available marker of the severity of acute OP poising in resource-poor settings.
Patience Decreases With Age for the Poor but Not for the Rich: An International Comparison

We introduce the Preference for Earlier versus Later Income (PELI) scale, measuring patience for over 50,000 individuals from 65 countries. We focus on the relationship between age and income on patience, two variables that have been widely studied in isolation. We find that, within countries, individuals in the richest income quintile are equally patient at any age while individuals in the poorest quintile are less patient the older they are. The relationships in the other quintiles are distributed in an orderly manner between these extremes. We derive a national patience index that correlates with characteristics linked to economic development, with cultural differences associated with patience, and with alternative more complex measures of patience. We recommend adopting PELI in international surveys.
PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF NANO-SELENIUM AGAINST EXPERIMENTALLY INDUCED TOXICITY BY AFLATOXIN B1 (AFB1) ON THE GINGIVA AND PERIODONTAL LIGAMENT OF ALBINO RATS (HISTOLOGICAL AND IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL STUDY)

Objectives: This current study was done to evaluate Nano-selenium (Nano Se) ability in the inhibition of aflatoxin B1 toxicity on gingiva and periodontal ligament of rats through histological investigation and immunohistochemical detection of TNF-α & caspase-3 expression in gingiva and desmin expression in the periodontal ligament. Materials and Methods: Forty adult male albino rats were divided into 4 equal groups as follows: Group I served as control rats (normal), Group II (aflatoxin B1 group) was given aflatoxin B1 (250 μg/kg b.w/day) orally through gastric tube 5 days/week for 4 weeks, Group III (AFB1and Nano-Se group) received aflatoxin B1 (250 μg/kg b.w./day) and 100 mg /animal of Nano-Se orally for 5 days/week for 4 weeks. Group IV (Nano-Se group) received Nano-Se 100 mg /animal orally for 5 days/week for 4 weeks. At the end of the experiment, dissection of upper and lower jaws were carried out after scarification under ketamine anesthesia. Gingival and jaw samples were collected and processed for histological techniques. Immunohistochemical estimation of TNF-α as pro-inflammatory mediator, caspase-3 to determine any apoptotic cells and desmin for detection of collagen fibers was performed. Results: Histological results: Aflatoxin B1 treated rats showed marked histopathological changes in the surface epithelium and lamina propria of gingiva and noticeable degeneration of collagen fibers of periodontal ligament (PDL). While aflatoxin B1& Nano-Se treated rats revealed displayed histological improvement in both gingiva and PDL against toxic effects induced by AFB1. Immunohistochemical results of the gingival specimens of AFB1-treated rats incubated with TNF-α and caspase-3 monoclonal antibodies showed that their epithelium and underlying lamina propria had strongly positive immunostaining reactivity. However,surface epithelium and lamina propria of aflotoxin rats treated with Nano-Se showed weakly to moderately positive immunostaining reactivity. Immunohistochemical localization of desmin monoclonal antibody for examination of jaw specimens showed weak immunostaining reactivity in aflatoxin-treated rats. While, PDL cells and fibers were ranged between moderate to strong reaction in aflatoxin B1 & Nano-Se treated rats. Conclusion: The results of this current study indicated that nano selenium as an antioxidant can alleviate the toxic effects that induced by AFB1.
Care transition from rehabilitation to home: A QI project using the RED Toolkit to decrease readmission rates

Objective: This quality improvement (QI) project’s aim was to lower 30-day healthcare reutilization for patients aged 50 or older with hip fracture using an evidence-based discharge process method, the Re-Engineered Discharge (RED) Toolkit.Methods: The QI project of a revised patient discharge process to lower healthcare reutilization of Baton Rouge Rehabilitation Hospital (BRRH) hip fracture patients was implemented as an evidence-based quality improvement initiative. Inpatient and outpatient discharge process revisions were implemented at an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) based on Re-Engineered Discharge (RED) Toolkit recommendations. Inpatient revisions included patient barrier identification with associated documentation changes to the IRF interdisciplinary team form. Outpatient modifications consisted of an After-Hospital Care Plan (AHCP), and two post-discharge Telephone Follow-Up (TFU) calls.Results: Healthcare reutilization and thirty-day hospital readmission for this project were measured at 8.5% and 5.7%, respectively. A decrease in healthcare reutilization of at least 1.6% was observed for the IRF. Most participants scored at a high level (88.6%) of “patient knowledge of self-management” post intervention. Out of participants who did not attend their first Primary Care Provider (PCP) appointment, 33.3% experienced healthcare reutilization. This result emphasized the importance of seeing one’s PCP post-discharge. Patient satisfaction increased by 5% and 6.73%, measured by Hospital Consumer Assessment of HealthCare Providers and Systems (HCAHP) scores for nursing care and physician care, respectively.Conclusions: Implementation of a RED Toolkit-based discharge process at an IRF positively impacted all three study outcomes and associated healthcare costs in lowering preventable readmissions.

Effects of two feeding rates on the growth performance and survivability of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings fed on Skretting fish feed

Two feeding rates; 5% body weight and feeding to satiation were evaluated to determine their effects on the growth performance and survivability of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings. The objective of the study was to determine which feeding rate was more beneficial to the fish farmer in terms of fish weight gain, length gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio and survivability of the catfish fingerlings. The study was carried out with 600 Clarias gariepinus fingerlings of mean weight 2.23 ± 0.10 g and mean length 6.58 ± 0.01 cm kept in six 1 m3 rectangular tanks labeled A to E and containing 100 fingerlings each. Fingerlings in tanks A, B and C were three replicates fed with 1.8 mm Skretting fish feed at 5% body weight while fingerlings in tanks D, E and F also three replicates, were fed to satiation with the same feed for 30 days. Water quality parameters; temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen were monitored. Body weight, length, and survivability were recorded every 5 days at 0, 5, 10,15, 20, 25, and 30 days. Results showed that water quality parameters and survival rates did not significantly differ(p>0.05) between the 5% body weight feeding rate group and the group fed to satiation. The average weight gain (26.11± 3.65 g), length gain (6.11± 0.20 cm), specific growth rate (5.96 ± 0.15%) and feed conversion ratio (1.1) of the 5% body weight feeding rate group differed significantly (p< 0.05) from those of the group fed to satiation; 16.16 ± 3.04 g, 4.44 ± 0.40 cm, 4.58 ± 0.17% and 1.3 respectively. It was concluded that feeding fingerlings by 5% body weight was of better economic importance to the fish farmer and was therefore recommended to be practiced for profitability and sustainable fish culture development.
