The Six Days of Voluntary Fasting in Syawal and Its Significance to the Personality of Muslims

The six days fasting in the month of Syawal is a voluntary fasting after the 30 days of obligatory fasting in the month of Ramadan. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of six-day fasting in the month of S y awal on the changes of personality among Muslims. A total of 111 participants comprised of students from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) took part in this study. All participants were Muslims, consisting 91 women and 20 men with age range of 20 years to 53 years old. The analysis method used was multilevel modeling using Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) version 7.0. The LHM was used to test all the hypotheses of the study. The objective of the study was to identify the impact of the S y awal voluntary fasting on the personality change. The findings of this study showed that the quality of S y awal voluntary fasting gives effect to the change of personality which bring significant relationship with both positive and negative personalities. Hence, it can be concluded that the six days voluntary fasting in the month of Syawal contributed to the changes of personality among Muslims.

Lifted Variable Elimination for Probabilistic Logic Programming

Abstract Lifted inference has been proposed for various probabilistic logical frameworks in order to compute the probability of queries in a time that depends on the size of the domains of the random variables rather than the number of instances. Even if various authors have underlined its importance for probabilistic logic programming (PLP), lifted inference has been applied up to now only to relational languages outside of logic programming. In this paper we adapt Generalized Counting First Order Variable Elimination (GC-FOVE) to the problem of computing the probability of queries to probabilistic logic programs under the distribution semantics. In particular, we extend the Prolog Factor Language (PFL) to include two new types of factors that are needed for representing ProbLog programs. These factors take into account the existing causal independence relationships among random variables and are managed by the extension to variable elimination proposed by Zhang and Poole for dealing with convergent variables and heterogeneous factors. Two new operators are added to GC-FOVE for treating heterogeneous factors. The resulting algorithm, called LP2 for Lifted Probabilistic Logic Programming, has been implemented by modifying the PFL implementation of GC-FOVE and tested on three benchmarks for lifted inference. A comparison with PITA and ProbLog2 shows the potential of the approach.

After the colonization of the Americas by Europeans and the consequent Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, most Native American populations in eastern Brazil disappeared or went through an admixture process that configured a population composed of three main genetic components: the European, the sub-Saharan African, and the Native American. The study of the Native American genetic history is challenged by the lack of availability of genome-wide samples from Native American populations, the technical difficulties to develop ancient DNA studies, and the low proportions of the Native American component in the admixed Brazilian populations (on average 7%). We analyzed genome-wide data of 5,825 individuals from three locations of eastern Brazil: Salvador (North-East), Bambui (South-East), and Pelotas (South) and we reconstructed populations that emulate the Native American groups that were living in the 16th century around the sampling locations. This genetic reconstruction was performed after local ancestry analysis of the admixed Brazilian populations, through the rearrangement of the Native American haplotypes into reconstructed individuals with full Native American ancestry (51 reconstructed individuals in Salvador, 45 in Bambui, and 197 in Pelotas). We compared the reconstructed populations with nonadmixed Native American populations from other regions of Brazil through haplotype-based methods. Our results reveal a population structure shaped by the dichotomy of Tupi-/Jê-speaking ancestry related groups. We also show evidence of a decrease of the diversity of nonadmixed Native American groups after the European contact, in contrast with the reconstructed populations, suggesting a reservoir of the Native American genetic diversity within the admixed Brazilian population.
Healthcare Access Among Cambodia’s Poor: An Econometric Examination of Rural Care-seeking and Out-of-Pocket Expenditure

To inform efforts to improve Cambodia’s social health protection system and advance universal health coverage, health care-seeking and out-of-pocket expenditure (OOPE) were assessed using the 2016 Cambodia Socioeconomic Survey data. This study focuses on the poorest wealth quintile who reside in rural areas- the primary target population of Cambodia’s largest social health protection scheme, the Health Equity Fund (HEF). The study also estimates the proportion of poor with an Equity card which provides access to HEF benefits at public facilities. Overall, 76% of people who sought healthcare in the past 30 days went to private providers, paying, on average, US$39.43 for treatment. About 18% of patients first sought care from public facilities, paying, on average, US$38.15. Though HEF aims to provide free healthcare for the rural poor, this analysis found that 67.2% of such patients seeking first care at public health facilities pay, on average, US$11.61 after controlling for confounding factors. However, treatment expenditure among the rural poor is about 52% less compared to third wealth quintile patients (p<0.01). About 36% of people under the national poverty line do not hold an Equity card to access HEF benefits. Thus, we conclude that HEF is not yet fully reaching its intended impact of removing OOPE as a barrier to access among the poor. Finally, free access to healthcare should incentivize utilization of public services; however, this study was unable to isolate such an effect among patients from the poorest wealth quintile. Access to healthcare can be strengthened with policy directives focused on further reducing OOPE and addressing other challenges to improve patient demand for public services such as quality of care. Enrollment exclusion errors should be corrected by relaxing the eligibility criteria with population coverage expansion. In addition, health service access should be systematically monitored by integrating service utilization, OOPE, and quality indicators into national monitoring and evaluation systems.
Creative thinking skills for a 21st century Muslim educational system

After achieving independence 60 years ago, various changes, progress and modernization has been achieved by Malaysia. But one thing is obvious, Malaysian still relies heavily on ideas, thoughts and technology borrowed from other countries. This dependence if persistent in the long run will certainly bring many disadvantages. Malaysian people and Muslims from other countries as well, should be smarter and more creative to create new sciences and technologies without depending directly on external parties. However, the effort to produce many creative individuals is facing various obstacles. One such obstacle is a barrier contained in the education system itself. This article attempts to peel off the obstacles in Malaysian education system. The exam-oriented education system has been around for a while and indeed it's not an easy thing to change it. In Malaysia, the Ministry of Education steps in abolishing the PMR public examination and replacing it with the Assessment Test School-based Form Three (PT3) has been an excellent effort in promoting Higher Orders Thinking Skills (HOTS) among the young people. Consequently, more aggressive measures should be taken in changing the education system to emphasize intrinsic motivation to reproduce new Islamic creative figures which can revitalize the Islamic civilization to the fullest.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF LOCAL RESIDENTS’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS TOURISM IN KUŞADASI

Tourism is a multifaceted phenomenon affecting physical and social environment. The main purpose of this study is to examine the local residents’ reactions towards tourism in Kuşadası, Turkey, by a comparative study with the thoughts gleaned in 2003 in order to determine the changes over the years. Data obtained from the 384 questionnaire forms has been analyzed with SPSS program and the results were compared with those of the previous one. Importance of the study comes from this comparative approach. The results point out that level of happiness and independent variables have significant correlation. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are also discussed in the paper. Results of both studies suggest that local residents and their social and environmental needs should be considered as much important as economic issues.
THE EFFECT OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PROGRAM ON TRAIT ANXIETY LEVEL ON ADULTS

Aim. The aim of this research is to examine the effect of physical activity program on trait anxiety level of adults. Methods. Research was designed with the testing model of pretest-posttest control group. The research group consists of 200 sedentary adults (application group n, 100; control group n, 100) who are in the age range of 18-36, residing in the city of Konya. Physical activity program was applied to adults in application group, within sports center, for a period of 2 hours, 3 days in a week throughout 12 weeks. Program was contently formed by the categories of aerobic exercise, fitness, fit dance, step, plates and street dance. Data were obtained with “Trait Anxiety Inventory” applied on adults before and after the 12-week physical activity program. For the analysis of obtained data, SPSS 16.00 statistic package software was used. Results. According to findings of research, it was determined that at the level of trait anxiety of adults in application group participated in physical activity program, there is a meaningful decrease considering the previous history of program (t99: 3.108, p<0.05). It was figured out that the meaningful decrease seen at the level of trait anxiety of adults in application group occurred with the low level influence quantity. (d: 0.26, d>0.20). However, It was determined that at the level of trait anxiety of adults in control group who didn’t participate in physical activity program, there is no meaningful decrease considering the previous history of program (d: 0.05, d<0.20). Conclusions. In the light of research findings, it can be said that by attending regularly physical activities has a positive effect on the level of trait anxiety of adults.
Non-Symmetric Flow over a stretching/Shrinking surface with mass Transfer

The non-symmetric flow over a stretching/shrinking surface in an other-wise quiescent fluid is considered under the assumption that the surface can stretch orshrink in one direction and stretch in a direction perpendicular to this. The problem is reduced to similarity form, being described by two dimensionless parameters, γ the relative stretching/shrinking rate and S characterizing the fluid transfer throughthe boundary. Numerical solutions are obtained for representative values of γ and S, a feature of which are the existence of critical values γc of γ dependent on S, these being determined numerically. Asymptotic forms for large γ and S, for both fluid withdrawal, S > 0 and injection S < 0 are obtained and compared with the corresponding numerical results.
Neuronal biomarkers of cognitive development in preterm and term born infants: a multidimensional approach combining electrophysiology and peripheral blood biomarkers

Prematurity is a global health problem, affecting about 11% of infants born worldwide. Due to the recent advancements in neonatal medicine the rates of preterm births are increasing and especially the survival of very and extremely preterm. Preterm born infants are at high risk for neurodevelopmental deficits, which have a lifelong impact. Therefore it is of utmost clinical importance to find a screening tool to detect infants at high risk that can possibly benefit from early intervention programs. In the present work we aim at investigating neuronal biomarkers in preterm and term born infants in order to examine their ability to predict neurodevelopmental outcome. Behavioral tests alone are inadequate to assess cognition in early infancy and therefore neuronal biomarkers are considered. Two methods are explored: an electrophysiological approach, using auditory event related potentials (AERPs) and a protein of neuroaxonal injury found in the blood named neurofilament (Nf). Three publications are included. First a systematic review of the literature, examining the association between AERPs and cognitive outcome in preterm born infants. This review is followed by a pilot study, where neonatal AERPs are investigated and correlated with neurodevelopmental outcome at 2 years in healthy very preterm and term born infants. In particular discrimination and habituation are examined as early forms of attention and learning respectively. Finally, we investigated a promising biomarker of neuroaxonal injury Nf light chain (NfL) for the very first time in preterm and term born infants during the first week of life.
Teaching and Teacher Education

The purpose of this article was to examine what education professionals in four countries (England, Finland, Malawi, and Oman) deemed as the critical (i.e., most important for effective teaching) noncognitive attributes of novice teachers. Results from an iterative comparative case study showed that participants consistently judged certain attributes of novice teachers as critical, i.e., empathy, organization, and resilience. However, there was also differential importance placed on teachers’ relationships with the community, reflecting theorized cultural differences. The findings provide new insight into how national and cultural context are associated with the perceptions of the critical non-cognitive attributes of effective teachers. © 2018 The Authors.

An Effective Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of MOF235 with Excellent Adsorption of Acid Chrome Blue K

An efficient, rapid, and fast kinetics of the metal-organic framework MOF235 was successfully prepared by microwave-assisted thermolysis strategy. Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the samples. Experimental results revealed the suitability of MOF235 for use as an adsorbent for acid chrome blue K. The maximum adsorption capacity of acid chrome blue K onto MOF235 can reach to 591.79 mg g-1 at 293 K. The sorption behavior fitted to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm. Adsorption of acid chrome blue K is a spontaneous and endothermic process. Therefore, the as-prepared MOF235 displays a great potential for environmental purification.
Systemic Resolvin E1 (RvE1) Treatment Does Not Ameliorate the Severity of Collagen-Induced Arthritis (CIA) in Mice: A Randomized, Prospective, and Controlled Proof of Concept Study

Specialized proresolving mediators (SPRM), which arise from n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3FA), promote resolution of inflammation and may help to prevent progression of an acute inflammatory response into chronic inflammation in patients with arthritis. Thus, this study is aimed at determining whether systemic RvE1 treatment reduces arthritis onset and severity in murine collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and spontaneous cytokine production by human rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial explants. 10-week-old DBA1/J male mice were subjected to CIA and treated systemically with 0.1 μg RvE1, 1 μg RvE1, 5 mg/kg anti-TNF (positive control group), PBS (negative control group), or with a combination of 1 μg of RvE1 plus 5 mg/kg anti-TNF using prophylactic or therapeutic strategies. After CIA immunization, mice were treated twice a week by RvE1 or anti-TNF for 10 days. Arthritis development was assessed by visual scoring of paw swelling and histology of ankle joints. Moreover, human RA synovial explants were incubated with 1 nM, 10 nM, or 100 nM of RvE1, and cytokine levels (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, INF-γ, and TNF-α) were measured using Luminex bead array. CIA triggered significant inflammation in the synovial cavity, proteoglycan loss, and cartilage and bone destruction in the ankle joints of mice. Prophylactic and therapeutic RvE1 regimens did not ameliorate CIA incidence and severity. Anti-TNF treatment significantly abrogated signs of joint inflammation, bone erosion, and proteoglycan depletion, but additional RvE1 treatment did not further reduce the anti-TNF-mediated suppression of the disease. Treatment with different concentrations of RvE1 did not decrease the expression of proinflammatory cytokines in human RA synovial explants in the studied conditions. Collectively, our findings demonstrated that RvE1 treatment was not an effective approach to treat CIA in DBA1/J mice in both prophylactic and therapeutic strategies. Furthermore, no effects were noticed when human synovial explants were incubated with different concentrations of RvE1.
AN ANALYSIS OF THE STAGES OF EXERCISE CHANGE AMONG OLDER ADULTS WITH A CHRONIC ILLNESS

This thesis examines stages of exercise change among older adults with a chronic illness. The Transtheoretical Model is applied to understand exercise behavior, a selfcare practice recommended for the management of chronic illnesses. The thesis contains two parts. Part one consists of a unique description of the stages of exercise change over a two-year period. Part two involves testing hypotheses pertaining to the prediction of positive exercise change over a one-year period. The theories of planned behavior and self-efficacy are applied in conjunction with the Transtheoretical Model to develop the hypotheses. It is hypothesized that exercise history and illness factors will act as barriers for positive exercise behavior because of the characteristics of the population under study. The data used in this study came from the Vancouver North Shore Self-Care Study. The North Shore study collected detailed health and self-care information on adults aged 50 and older who reported having one of four major chronic illnesses: arthritis, stroke, heart problems and hypertension. After omitting those with stroke (due to small numbers), there were a total of 879 subjects at baseline (wave 1), 735 in wave 2, and 665 in wave 3. The results from the descriptive analysis indicate that the majority of the sample are exercising regularly, and that only 4.3% are sedentary for the entire study. Significant stage movement towards exercise maintenance was also found despite there being no formal exercise intervention. A large number of people were found to be moving from maintenance to precontemplation (active to sedentary) and from
Relations of Challenge-Hindrance Stressors with Organizational Citizenship Behavior: the Role of Positive Emotion and Power Distance

The study investigates how challenge and hindrance influence organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) in the organizational culture of China. Based on Conservation of resources theory, the authors found whether challenge stressors or hindrance stressors had negative links with OCB. In addition, results showed that positive emotion perfectly mediated the relationship between twodimensional stressors and OCB. Although, power distance had not directly moderating effect on the model, there is an indirect moderation when the relationship between stressors and OCB is mediated by positive emotion. The higher power distance, the indirect effect of positive emotion is more obvious. This research could provide some theoretical implications for future stressors study and practical implications for management.

Proteomic Technology “Lens” for Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Process Identification in Oncology

The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a complex transformation process that induces local and distant progression of many malignant tumours. Due to its complex array of proteins that are dynamically over-/underexpressed during this process, proteomic technologies gained their place in the EMT research in the last years. Proteomics has identified new molecular pathways of this process and brought important insights to develop new therapy targets. Various proteomic tools and multiple combinations were developed in this area. Out of the proteomic technology armentarium, mass spectrometry and array technologies are the most used approaches. The main characteristics of the proteomic technology used in this domain are high throughput and detection of minute concentration in small samples. We present herein, using various proteomic technologies, the identification in cancer cell lines and in tumour tissue EMT-related proteins, proteins that are involved in the activation of different cellular pathways. Proteomics has brought besides standard EMT markers (e.g., cell-cell adhesion proteins and transcription factors) other future potential markers for improving diagnosis, monitoring evolution, and developing new therapy targets. Future will increase the proteomic role in clinical investigation and validation of EMT-related biomarkers.
