PERSEPSI DOSEN TERHADAP LAYANAN APLIKASI E-LKD UIN AR-RANIRY DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTENCE MODEL (TAM)

Information technology and telecommunications have an influence on educational activities from the elementary school level as well as the tertiary level. Higher Education is a formal institution that is expected to produce competent workforce that is ready to face the industrial revolution 4.0 along with technological advancements. Work skills, adaptability and a dynamic mindset become challenges for human resources, one of which is as a lecturer at tertiary institutions. In an effort to supervise the quality of lecturers at UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh, Indonesia against the Tri Dharma of Higher Education they use an online application based on E-LKD (Electronic "Lecturer Performance Report"). This application is used as a tool in reporting semester activities of lecturers and also as an assessment of tertiary environmental assessors in deciding the eligibility of certification allowances and remuneration allowances for UIN Ar-Raniry lecturers. The purpose of this research is to empirically prove the influence between perceived usefulnes, technology support and perceived ease of use variables on attitude toward and behavior intention in using features and services in E-LKD applications. The research uses the case study method, by looking at the characteristics of the problems related to the background and current conditions of the subjects studied, as well as their interactions with the environment. This study uses questionnaire data on 100 UIN-Raniry lecturers. The results of this study indicate that the variable perceived ease, quality of technological support and usefulness perception partially have a significant effect on lecturers' attitudes and behavior.

Empirical measures of mutational effects define neutral models of regulatory evolution in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Significance New mutations tend to arise randomly throughout the genome, but their phenotypic effects are often not random. This disconnect results from interactions among genes that define the genotype–phenotype map. The structure of this map is poorly known and different for each trait, making it challenging to predict the distribution of mutational effects for specific phenotypes. Empirical measures of the distribution of mutational effects are thus necessary to understand how traits can change in the absence of natural selection. In this work, we define such distributions for expression of 10 genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and show that they predict greater neutral expression divergence than commonly used models of phenotypic evolution. Understanding how phenotypes evolve requires disentangling the effects of mutation generating new variation from the effects of selection filtering it. Tests for selection frequently assume that mutation introduces phenotypic variation symmetrically around the population mean, yet few studies have tested this assumption by deeply sampling the distributions of mutational effects for particular traits. Here, we examine distributions of mutational effects for gene expression in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by measuring the effects of thousands of point mutations introduced randomly throughout the genome. We find that the distributions of mutational effects differ for the 10 genes surveyed and are inconsistent with normality. For example, all 10 distributions of mutational effects included more mutations with large effects than expected for normally distributed phenotypes. In addition, some genes also showed asymmetries in their distribution of mutational effects, with new mutations more likely to increase than decrease the gene’s expression or vice versa. Neutral models of regulatory evolution that take these empirically determined distributions into account suggest that neutral processes may explain more expression variation within natural populations than currently appreciated.
The maternal energy hypothesis of brain evolution: an update

Bivariate scaling analyses can reveal interesting correlations between individual biological variables, but inference of actual causal links in complex networks requires multiple tests to satisfy the criterion of isolation. Mammalian brain tissue has high energy demands, so energy supply is inevitably a key issue in evolution of the primate brain, especially for large-brained hominids. Various hypotheses have proposed a direct link between brain size and metabolic turnover in adults, but the author’s Maternal Energy Hypothesis (MEH) instead focuses on energy supplied by the mother during brain development up to weaning. This hypothesis is supported by various empirical findings, but it has also been challenged, particularly on the basis that these findings do not survive tests conducted to eliminate effects of phylogenetic inertia. New comparative analyses of brain size in mammals with improved datasets have, however, confirmed links to both basal metabolic rate and gestation period, complying with core predictions of MEH. The evidence now available in support of MEH is reviewed and some implications for brain evolution are explored. A widely recognized general trend towards increase in average relative brain size during mammalian evolution has recently been challenged by a study of brain size in bats that inferred, exclusively through analysis of data from extant species, that brain size has actually undergone reduction in numerous lineages. It is shown that the statistical test used to test for directionality of evolution was inappropriate. A review of fossil evidence for brain evolution in primates, cetaceans and carnivores confirms the generally accepted trend towards increased average brain size through the Tertiary. Progressive increase in mammalian relative brain size over time is at least partially attributable to increases in the level and efficiency of maternal investment. Energetic aspects, including those invoked in the MEH, are of special importance for outstandingly large-brained mammals such as hominids.

Agricultural Zakat From The Islamic Perspective

Agricultural zakat that is practiced in Malaysia is imposed on staple food of a particular region that has met the nisab (minimal value). However, there are issues of non-uniformity estimation of agricultural zakah for instance inconsistency nisab setting for metric weights, and the applied rate variability. What are the root causes of the problems? Therefore, this paper is an attempt to highlight some issues inherent in the conceptualisation of agricultural zakat from Islamic perspective by analysing the definition of zakat, crops that have to be imposed with zakat, nisab, the rates imposed based on irrigation, and the deduction of some costs prior to the imposition of zakat. A qualitative methodology was employed to analyse the data through inductive, deductive, comparative approaches. The findings identified non-uniformity estimation of agricultural zakah occurred due to the varied interpretation enriching the Islamic legal tradition by different schools of juristic thought. These findings will assist the policy makers and the management of Abstrak Di Malaysia, zakat pertanian hanya diwajibkan ke atas makanan asasi sesuatu tempat dan telah mencukupi nisab. Namun, terdapat isu ketidakselarasan taksiran zakat pertanian misalnya ketidakselarasan penetapan nisab bagi timbangan metrik gantang, dan kepelbagaian kadar yang dikenakan. Persoalannya, apakah faktor utama kepada isu ini? Justeru, kertas kajian ini merupakan usaha untuk mengetengahkan beberapa isu yang timbul dalam pendekatan konseptual zakat pertanian dari perspektif Islam dengan menganalisa definisi zakat pertanian, tanaman yang dikenakan zakat, nisab, kadar yang dikenakan berdasarkan pengairan, dan potongan kos-kos tertentu sebelum diwajibkan zakat. Metodologi kualitatif digunakan bagi menganalisa data melalui kaedah induktif, deduktif, dan perbandingan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa ketidakselarasan taksiran zakat pertanian merupakan natijah daripada kepelbagaian cara berfikir dalam menentukan hukum menurut perspektif syarak bagi setiap mazhab.

Effect of the Nitrification Inhibitor 3,4-Dimethylpyrazole Phosphate on the Deep Placement of Nitrogen Fertilizers for Soybean Cultivation

The deep placement of urea fertilizer (DMU) containing 1% (W/W) of the nitrification inhibitor 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) on soybean growth and seed yield was as effective as those of the coated urea (CU) and lime nitrogen (LN) in a field research. The average seed yields were high in LN (464 g·m−2) and DMU (461 g·m−2) and relatively low in CU (405 g·m−2), U (396 g·m−2), and Cont (373 g·m−2) treatments. The accumulations of dry matter and nitrogen in soybean shoots were higher in the plants with deep placement of CU, LN, and DMU than U and Cont. The daily nitrogen fixation activity and daily nitrogen absorption rate were calculated based on the relative ureide method. Both nitrogen fixation activity and nitrogen absorption rate were higher in DMU, CU, and LN compared with control treatment, suggesting that the deep placement of DMU did not repress nitrogen fixation. Soil incubation test was performed using the same field soil with DMU, U, LN, and urea with DMPP 1%, 2%, and 4%. DMU inhibits nitrification similar to the pattern of LN until 8 weeks. The increasing DMPP concentration did not markedly increase the nitrification inhibition. From these results, it was concluded that urea fertilizer with 1% DMPP is efficient for deep placement of N fertilizer for soybean cultivation due to its lower price compared with CU and LN.
Membranes auto-supportées et nanocomposites à base de films multicouches de polyélectrolytes

La technique d'auto-assemblage couche par couche de polyelectrolytes, permettant de construire des films appeles « multicouches », s'est grandement developpee au cours des deux dernieres decennies. Cette technique permet non seulement de modifier des surfaces de materiaux mais egalement d'elaborer des membranes auto-supportees. Dans cette these, j'ai etudie la croissance de deux systemes multicouches assembles dans des conditions extremes de pH pour accelerer leur croissance. Les films a base de poly(ethylene imine) et d'acide poly(acrylique) ont ete utilises pour realiser, d'une part, des membranes possedant une capacite a repondre a l'humidite, et d'autre part, des membranes asymetriques presentant des proprietes anti-bacteriennes. Les films a base de poly(L-lysine) et de hyaluronane ont ete realise par croissance amplifiee par le pH, et l'effet du poids moleculaire du HA sur la croissance et les proprietes interne des films a ete etudie. Ces films ont servi de reservoir pour le piegeage de precurseurs metalliques, qui ont ensuite ete reduit in situ par irradiation UV, afin de former des nanoparticules. Ainsi, des films nanocomposites contenant des particules d'argent et des particules d'or ont ete synthetises.
Investigating Perceived Difficult Concepts in Geometry by Pre-Service Teachers of E. P. College of Education, Bimbilla, Ghana

: The purpose of this study was to investigate geometry concepts perceived as difficult and likely causes of the difficulties among pre-service teachers of E.P. College of Education, Bimbilla. The population was first year pre-service teachers offering the new Bachelor of Education (B. Ed) programme. A sample size of 103 comprising of 50 males and 53 females were selected through random and convenience sampling techniques. Questionnaire on perceived difficult topics and perceived causes of difficult geometry topics were responded by pre-service teachers. Aside descriptive statistics, an independent sample t-test was employed to find the differences in gender of the perceived difficulty topics in geometry. The results indicate that majority of the pre-service teachers perceived geometry topics to be difficult. The main causes of concept difficulty in geometry according to ranks were non-completion of geometry course outline and study habits after classroom teaching. There was no significant difference between male and female pre-service teachers’ perception of difficult concepts in geometry. This study recommends that weekly professional development sessions by the colleges of education in Ghana should devote significant number of sessions to tackle some of the perceived difficult geometry concepts that impede pre-service teachers’ learning of geometry.

Diagnostic efficacy and suitability of trans-thoracic ultrasonography for pleural fluid detection – The future non-invasive gold-standard?

Background: Conventionally Pleural effusions are suspected by history of pleuritis, evaluated by physical signs and multiple view radiography. Trans-thoracic pleural aspiration is done and aspirated pleural fluid is considered the goldstandard for pleural effusion. Chest sonography has the advantage of having high diagnostic efficacy over radiography for the detection of pleural effusion. Furthermore, ultrasonography is free from radiation hazards, inexpensive, readily available and feasible for use in ICU, pregnant and pediatric patients. This study aims to explore the diagnostic accuracy of trans-thoracic ultrasonography for pleural fluid detection, which is free of such disadvantages. The objective is to determine the diagnostic efficacy of trans-thoracic ultrasound for detecting pleural effusion and also to assess its suitability for being a non-invasive gold-standard. Subject and methods: This retrospective study of 4597 cases was conducted at pulmonology OPD-Gulab Devi Teaching Hospital, Lahore from November 2016 to July 2018. Adult patients with clinical features suggesting pleural effusions were included while those where no suspicion of pleural effusion, patients < 14 years and pregnant ladies were excluded. Patients were subjected to chest x-ray PA and Lateral views and chest ultrasonography was done by a senior qualified radiologist in OPD. Ultrasound-guided pleural aspiration was done in OPD & fluid was sent for analysis. At least 10ml aspirated fluid was considered as diagnostic for pleural effusion. Patient files containing history, physical examination, x-ray reports, ultrasound reports, pleural aspiration notes and informed consent were retrieved, reviewed and findings were recorded in the preformed proforma. Results were tabulated and conclusion was drawn by statistical analysis. Results: Out of 4597 cases, 4498 pleural effusion were manifested on CXR and only 2547(56.62%) pleural effusions were proved by ultrasound while 2050 (45.57%) cases were reported as no Pleural effusion. Chest sonography demonstrated sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and diagnostic accuracy 100 % each. Conclusions: Trans-thoracic ultrasonography revealed an excellent efficacy that is why it can be considered as noninvasive gold standard for the detection of pleural effusion.
Quality Parameter Levels of Strawberry Fruit in Response to Different Sound Waves at 1000 Hz with Different dB Values (95, 100, 105 dB)

All living organisms perceive mechanical signals, regardless of their taxonomic classifications or life habits. Because of their immobility, plants are influenced by a variety of environmental stresses, such as mechanical stress, during their growth and development. Plants develop physiological behaviors to adapt to their environment for long-term development and evolution. Sound-induced stress—an abiotic stress factor—is an example of mechanical stress and is caused by sound waves generated by different sources. This stress has a negative effect on the development and growth of plants. The strawberry plants evaluated in this study were exposed to three different sound intensity levels (95, 100, 105 dB) at a constant frequency of 1000 Hz. In strawberry plants, stress induced by sound waves is thought to trigger increased production of secondary metabolites as a defense mechanism. To determine the effect of sound applications, the fresh and dry weights of the roots and shoots were measured in strawberry plants, and the pH, total soluble solids (Brix), titratable acidity, vitamin C, total sugar, total acid, and total phenols were analyzed in the fruits. Results show that the sound stress, which was produced at a constant frequency (1000 Hz) and different sound levels (95, 100, 105 dB), affects the growth parameters of the plant and several quality parameters of the fruit.
Desenvolvimento de Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas, 1851) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) alimentado com lagartas de Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius, 1794) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar aspectos biologicos de Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas) alimentado com lagartas de Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius). Os ovos (200) utilizados para o experimento foram provenientes da criacao massal do Laboratorio de Biologia e Criacao de Insetos do Departamento de Fitossanidade da FCAV/UNESP. Esses ovos foram mantidos em sala climatizada a 25 ± 1° C, fotofase de 12h e UR de 70 ± 10%, sendo avaliados os parâmetros: periodo de incubacao e viabilidade dos ovos. Ao atingirem o 2o estadio ninfal, os insetos foram individualizados em placas de Petri, onde foram avaliados os parâmetros: viabilidade ninfal, duracao do periodo ninfal e peso das ninfas de 5 o estadio. Na fase adulta os insetos foram separados, por casais, em placas de Petri, com os quais foram avaliados os parâmetros: periodo de pre- oviposicao, oviposicao, pos-oviposicao, longevidade, peso dos adultos apos emergencia, peso dos adultos com 20 dias, fecundidade, numero de posturas por femea, numero de ovos por postura, viabilidade dos ovos e periodo de incubacao. Alem disso, tambem foram obtidos os parâmetros da tabela de vida de fertilidade. Pelos resultados verificou-se que lagartas de D. saccharalis foram nutricionalmente adequadas para o desenvolvimento do predador P. nigrispinus, sugerindo a possibilidade de utilizacao dessa presa em criacoes massais desse inseto.
