Studi Kontribusi Spirit At Work terhadap Komitmen Organisasi Guru Honorer X

Abstract. Welfare and career certainty for honorary teachers in Indonesia is still unclear. However, they feel that their work gives them a positive meaning that keeps them in their profession as honorary teachers in the schools where they are teaching. The aim of this study is to determine the description and contribution of Spirit At Work (SAW) to organizational commitment of honorary teachers. This study is a contribution study with quantitative methods. Respondents in this study were all 40 honorary teachers of SMAS BPI 1 Bandung. The instrument used to measure SAW is the Spirit At Work Scale developed by Kinjerski and Skrypnek (2006), while Organizational Commitment Questionnaire developed by Allen & Meyer (1990) used to measure organizational commitment, both were adapted by researcher. This study used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to analyze the data. The results of this study indicate that 95% of honorary teachers at SMAS BPI 1 Bandung have high SAW with most of the honorary teachers have the high AC, CC, and NC as their organizational commitment profile as much as 75%. Then SAW has a positive and significant effect on AC (0.000<0.05) by 42.5%, CC (0.000<0.05) by 23.8%, and NC (0.000<0.05) by 22.1%. Abstrak.

Trust, inflammatory biomarkers and adversity: a novel investigation and clinical implications

ABSTRACT Survivors of adversity and trauma experience high levels of distress, interpersonal challenges and poor physical health. We investigated the role of trust in trauma-related psychological and physiological responses. Serum concentrations of C-reactive protein, cortisol, tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-8 from 25 participants in Scotland were measured. Trauma history and experience were assessed using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire and Life Events Checklist. Trauma symptomatology was measured by the Impact of Event Scale. Interpersonal trust was measured using the Trust Scale. Trauma history and inflammatory biomarker concentrations were significant predictors of trauma symptomatology with trust as a covariate. Psychological and physiological responses after trauma seem strongly linked. Trust can mediate distress and physiology in adversity.
Experiential serious-game design for development of knowledge of object-oriented programming and computational thinking skills

ABSTRACT Background and Context Though still a nascent area of research, serious games have been presented as means of engaging students in computer programming and computational thinking due to their immersive and interactive nature. Existing research is limited in its ability to provide systems based on sound instructional design models, and only a few studies validate their design with statistical support. Objective This study investigated the effects of a game which is based on experiential learning theory under framework of the four-component instructional design model on undergraduate students’ learning performance in conceptual knowledge of object-oriented programming and computational thinking skills. Method A pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental design was used to study the effects of the experiential serious games on conceptual knowledge of OOP and CT skills of 61 non-engineering students with and without prior programming knowledge. Findings The statistical analyses reveal that students with and without programming experience significantly improved their understanding of fundamental concepts of OOP. There were only weak correlations among students’ creative problem solving, attitudes towards digital game-based learning of programming, and learning. Implications We provide several recommendations for researchers and practitioners for designing and developing an effective serious game to teach novice programmers computer programming.
DNA Methylation Analysis of the Hippo signalling Pathway Core Component Genes in Breast Cancer Cells

Objective: Breast cancer is one of the most frequent malignancies among women. According to the World Health Organization (2020), an estimated 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer, while 685,000 died worldwide. Therefore, an early diagnosis of cancer is crucial for survival. This study analyses the methylation status of the promoter regions of core component genes of the hippo pathway. The Hippo pathway is a tumor suppressor pathway as this pathway hinders cell growth and cell proliferation and motivates cell death. Material and Methods: Methylation-sensitive PCR method was used to examine the altered methylation patterns of SAV1, LAST1/2, and MST1/2 in different breast cancer cell lines (MCF7, T47D, HCC1937, and BT-20). Results: Interestingly, we have found that the promoter regions of the genes being studied are all hemimethylated in all cell lines used in this investigation, apart from the LAST1 gene promoter, which was hypomethylated in T47D and HCC1937 cell lines. Conclusion: This indicates the importance of hemimethylation, as it is considered an aberrant methylation pattern. Thus, its effect on gene expression must be further considered.
PAPR reduction methods based on bit flipping

ABSTRACT In this work, two peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) reduction methods based on bit flipping are designed for OFDM signals. Rather than sending side information, error correction codes are used to recover the flipped bits, as well as to protect the transmitted data. The first PAPR reduction method combines hard-decision decoding (HDD) and natural mapping. Taking advantage of the fact that the natural mapping symbol is represented as a linear combination of the included bits, the flipping bits can be selected at low complexity. The concept of compressed sensing is introduced in order to minimize the number of flipping bits and retain most of the code distance for error correction. In the second method, a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code is cascaded as an inner code following the HDD code, and Gray mapping is used. Soft-decision decoding (SDD) is applied to the LDPC code, which significantly improves the data protection capability, then the outer HDD code is able to focus on recovering the flipped bits. The designs proposed in this paper show great flexibility and provide a trade-off between PAPR reduction and the error-correction capability.
IMPROVING EMOTIONAL DYSREGULATION AND WELL-BEING AMONG VISUALLY CHALLENGED ADOLESCENTS: EFFICACY OF ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY (ACT)

The current study aimed to determine efficacy of the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for the emotional dysregulation and mental health of visually impaired adolescents. In a quantitative pre-post design, a purposive convenient sample of seven visually impaired adolescents with age range of 18 to 23 was recruited. Difficulties in emotion regulation scale were used to recruit the participants. After baseline assessment participants were subjected to six individual sessions of acceptance and commitment therapy. One week after the completion of intervention phase post test scores were obtained. A paired sample t-test and Reliable Change Index were applied. Results showed that there was significant difference of emotion dysregulation and mental health. Individual analyses were also performed. Tau-u statistics showed that ACT is an effective approach to enhance emotion dysregulation and mental health issues in visually impaired adolescent. The results of the study have important implications for clinical practitioners. ASEAN Journal of Psychiatry, Vol. 23(1) January, 2022; 1-15.
DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF HPTLC BIOANALYTICAL METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUS ESTIMATION OF DRUGS PRESCRIBED IN THE COMORBID CONDITION OF DIABETES AND HYPERTENSION

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and hypertension are the major contributors to the total burden of worldwide diseases. In around 32-87% of cases, patients are found to have both these diseases as a comorbid condition. Managing diabetes mellitus accompanied by hypertension is done by controlling blood glucose levels and blood pressure with antidiabetic and antihypertensive drugs respectively with their simultaneous consumption. Selection of the most accurate drugs and their effective concentration is a key for successful treatment in such patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus due to its low dose and high selectivity. Telmisartan is one of the first-line drugs given in mild-to-moderate hypertension with a relative safety profile. The ability of Empagliflozin to cause a reduction in blood pressure necessitates monitoring of its concentration in patients consuming simultaneously an antihypertensive drug-like Telmisartan. The proposed method is an attempt to develop a high-performance thin-layer chromatographic bioanalytical method for simultaneous estimation of Empagliflozin and Telmisartan in human plasma. Chromatographic separation of drugs was performed over HPTLC plates pre-coated with silica gel 60F 254 using Chloroform: Methanol: Toluene: Formic acid (8:2:4:0.1 v/v/v/v) as the mobile phase via a linear ascending technique. Detection and quantification were performed at a wavelength of 235 nm. The method was validated according to the European Medicines Agency guidelines for the bioanalytical method and gave satisfactory results. The developed method will be significant in the pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic studies of the two drugs.
3. Cross-cultural perspectives in family research

Cross-cultural analyses have found their way into family-related sciences through various paths. Indeed, most of the pioneering work on the family applied a cross-cultural perspective when describing different family types over time and space (e.g., Durkheim 1978 [1888]; Le Play 1883; Morgan 1988 [1877]; Westermarck 1922 [1891]). However, in most of this research, the concept of ‘culture’ was and still is used in a xenological framework in which family-related phenomena are described and explained in relation to ‘other’ ethnic groups and their cultural ‘differences’. Thus, ‘culture’ is routinely used as an explanatory factor if family behaviour is perceived as strange, unusual, or even exotic; whereas such arguments are seldom made if it is assumed that the behaviour can be placed in the context of everyday experiences. This usage dominates not just public debates, but scientific discourses, organisations, and journals. For example, while the 50th anniversary special issue of the Journal of Comparative Family Studies (Martin 2019) contains articles on cohabitation in Chile, parenting decisions in South Korea, and marital quality in China, similar papers on families from countries such as the United States or England would be considered misplaced. Even more astonishing is that not a single paper providing a cross-cultural comparison was published in this issue of the journal, which claims on its homepage to publish ‘high quality articles on research in comparative and cross cultural family studies’. Thus, studying ‘non-Western’ families is considered to be per se a contribution to cross-cultural comparisons (Lee 1987, p. 60), even if the comparative perspective is, at best, only implicit. While references to such ‘different’ family and kinship systems may generate some insights in the public and scientific discourse when the aim is to demonstrate how context-specific various theoretical premises and empirical regularities are, they do not represent explicit contributions to cross-cultural comparative family research.
Level of Awareness among Elderly Persons and Hinderances to Unconditional Cash Transfer Accessibility. A Case Study of Tharaka Nithi County in Kenya

There are notable cases in other developing countries where unconditional cash transfer programs have failed due to inadequate information of unconditional cash transfer. Within the context of these arguments, the purpose of the study is to establish the level of awareness of unconditional cash transfer among elderly persons in Tharaka Ninthi County in Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. Target population was 1003 beneficiaries and employees of Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Services (Department of Social Development) where a sample of 102 respondents was drawn. The study employed simple random sampling to select the respondents who participated in the study. The study used questionnaires and interviews as the main data collection instruments. The study used test-retest to establish the reliability of each section of the questionnaires. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Data from the interviews were analysed using scientific packages for social sciences and presented using thematic analysis.
Chlorine Dioxide: Does it contribute to human health? A brief review

Chlorine dioxide, ClO2, a non-patentable substance, is a molecule composed by two of the most disinfectant elements found in nature, chlorine and oxygen, both of them electronegative. As early as 1850, ClO2 has been being used in the oxidation of water and, since 1944, in the treatment of waste water and the bleaching of cellulose. Similarly, oxygen, in the form of hydrogen peroxide, is used to disinfect ambulances, hospital rooms and medical equipment, among other applications. Recently, the Global Health and Life Coalition (GHLC) has reported favourable results in the treatment of COVID19 using ClO2 under a parameterized protocol design by scientists members of this organization. Other research works carried out in different parts of the world sustain the hypothesis that, as a relatively stable radical and as a highly oxidant regardless of the pH in its surroundings, ClO2 and its application in an area so sensitive as human health presents itself as an alterntive worth studying further.
DoLTEst: In-depth Downlink Negative Testing Framework for LTE Devices

An implementation ﬂaw in LTE control plane protocols at end-user devices directly leads to severe security threats. In order to uncover these ﬂaws, conducting negative testing is a promising approach, whose test case only contains invalid or prohibited messages. Despite its importance, the cellular standard mostly focuses on positive test cases, producing many implementation vulnerabilities unchecked, as evidenced by many existing vulnerabilities. To ﬁll this gap, we present D O LTE ST , a negative testing framework, which can comprehensively test an end-user device. Enumerable test cases with a deterministic oracle produced from detailed speciﬁcation analysis make it suitable to be used as a standard to ﬁnd implementation vulnerabilities. We uncovered 26 implementation ﬂaws from 43 devices from 5 different baseband manufacturers by using D O LTE ST , demonstrating its effectiveness.
Real-time trajectory planning for ground and aerial vehicles in a dynamic environment

In this dissertation, a novel and generic solution of trajectory generation is developed and evaluated for ground and aerial vehicles in a dynamic environment. By explicitly considering a kinematic model of the ground vehicles, the family of feasible trajectories and their corresponding steering controls are derived in a closed form and are expressed in terms of one adjustable parameter for the purpose of collision avoidance. A collision-avoidance condition is developed for the dynamically changing environment, which consists of a time criterion and a geometrical criterion. By imposing this condition, one can determine a family of collision-free paths in a closed form. Then, optimization problems with respect to different performance indices are setup to obtain optimal solutions from the feasible trajectories. Among these solutions, one with respect to the near-shortest distance and another with respect to the near-minimal control energy are analytical and simple. These properties make them good choices for real-time trajectory planning. Such optimal paths meet all boundary conditions, are twice differentiable, and can be updated in real time once a change in the environment is detected. Then this novel method is extended to 3D space to find a real-time optimal path for aerial vehicles. After that, to reflect the real applications, obstacles are classified to two types: “hard” obstacles that must be avoided, and “soft” obstacles that can be run over/through. Moreover, without losing generality, avoidance criteria are extended to obstacles with any geometric shapes. This dissertation also points out that the emphases of the future work are to consider other constraints such as the bounded velocity and so on. The proposed method is illustrated by computer simulations.
Hantavirus: Past and Future

Hantaviruses have been known to exist for over 40 years, Hantavirus is cause of the hemorrhagic fever and renal syndrome. Hantavirus was first recognized as an infectious disease in the early 1950s when a cluster of 3000 United Nation troops stationed in Korea was struck by a mysterious illness. Many genomes, proteins play different roles in Hantaviruses such as genomic RNAs also receptors that is C1q receptor (gC1qR) or G1 and G2 glycoproteins. Previous studies show that individuals suffering from Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome disease. In recent years, there are no US FDA – approved vaccines against Hantaviruses. China and South Korea, in both countries, the use of vaccines, combined have been researched; DNA vaccines targeting the genome segment, subunit vaccines that use recombinant Gn, Gc and N protein of virus. Virus like particle vaccines that contain viral protein but lack genetic material. These, only DNA vaccines have entered into clinical trials. Our aim this review is to display Past and Future Hantavirus, and effect of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome.
Securing cyber physical systems using feather blockchain consensus model

: Cyber physical systems (CPS) are associated at remote spots, because of which their computational and capacity abilities are restricted. These gadgets are sent in modern conditions where everyday openness, actual observation and persistent administration is unimaginable. Because of these entrance impediments, the conveyed gadgets can be undermined by undesirable foes, who can infuse spying, satirizing and other hub level deficiencies. To lessen the likelihood of these assaults, this text proposes a feature proof-of-trace (FPoT) agreement system, that can be coordinated with new and existing CPS organizations. The agreement model uses follow data from 'k' irregular adjoining hubs during block creation. Since all checks are done on the CPS centre point hub, the follow data is added to the square with practically no confirmation on hub side. This decreases computational intricacy while adding the square to the blockchain. The convention utilizes blockchain for information check and detectability on the center point side, which guarantees that all correspondences inside the organization are gotten, and flawed hubs are followed back with high exactness. It was likewise seen that the quill blockchain organization has 15% better speed when contrasted and standard agreement models, 25% better throughput, 16% better energy proficiency, and 8% better bundle conveyance proportion when contrasted and cutting-edge models under a similar organization condition.
Fast Heuristic Detection of Offensive Words in Wordwheel Puzzles

Offensive words appear in Wordwheel-type puzzles with a high frequency. Previous approaches to eliminating these words have focused largely on eliminating puzzles that might give rise to an offensive word. This work presents a fast, heuristic approach to detecting an offensive word within a puzzle. After a preprocessing stage, the detection occurs with a single bitwise operation on a 64-bit word. Tests show that as long as there are at least 3 taboo words possible in a puzzle, the heuristic approach is faster than a depth-first search of the puzzle. In addition to being fast, the approach is guaranteed to detect all offensive words, and has a low false positive rate.
