Published: August 2020

The general goal of education is to develop Indonesian people completely in the sense that carried out education still maintain unity, diversity and develop individual’s ideals. Every citizen has the right to obtain education equally with excellence and a balance (equity) between the utilization (access) with achievement. The higher education system must be able to create a quality higher education that is also affordable by the people of Indonesia. A university leader must be in-line and lead a "quality revolution". All energy and attention are focused on the "quality revolution". For this reason, this paper will examine the Implementation of Higher Education Quality Management Systems. As a case study is that has implemented a Quality Management System. According to Law No. 12 of 2012 concerning Higher Education. Quality Higher Education is Higher Education that produces graduates who are able to actively develop their potential and produce Science and / or Technology that is useful for the Community, nation, and country. The government operates a higher education quality assurance system to get quality education. The Higher Education quality assurance system referred to consists of: a. internal quality assurance system developed by Higher Education; and b. external quality assurance system carried out through accreditation. Implementation of Quality Management Systems in Higher Education can produce Quality and Affordable Education.

Published: August 2020

Scientific reasoning, though not explicitly taught in classrooms, is promoted as a major goal for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education at all levels, worldwide. Literature also indicates that the time spent by learners explaining and justifying their ideas strongly correlates with learning improvement. In Swaziland, however, reports from school science inspectors and school leaving examiners point to weak evidence of scientific reasoning skills from school-based and high-stake examinations. This contradicts the main education goal at this level – producing learners who can use science phenomena awareness for reasoning through diverse life contexts. The study was conceived within the interplay between cognitive and sociocultural theories of constructivism. It focuses on how senior secondary school Physical Science teachers use informal formative assessment (IFA), and how the assessments so used support scientific reasoning. Through the qualitative inquiry approach a multiple case study design was used where four teachers in the Manzini Region were purposively sampled and their lessons observed. The data were then analysed through content analysis and Furtak, Harding, Beinbrech, Shavelson, and Shemwell (2008)’s analytical framework. The study revealed that teachers initiated learner-centred dialogues to address misconceptions and ask further clarification questions. Practical work and contingency based oral questions generated a reach variety of scientific reasoning levels while cases where teachers treated none response moments by supplying answers generated the least reasoning levels. All in all, by diligently using IFA to support learning, teachers realised opportunities for assisting learners migrate from concrete operational to formal thinking levels.

EVALUATION OF AERODYNAMIC PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION OF DRUGS USED IN INHALATION THERAPY: A CONCISE REVIEW
Authors: Nayak Smita , Ghugare Priyanka , Vaidhun Bhaskar
Published: August 2020

Most of the inhalation products in the market use metered dose inhaler (MDI) technology or dry powder inhaler (DPI) technology. MDIs use propellant to deliver desired dose of liquid formulation in aerosol form. DPI contains active in fine particulate form embedded onto an inert carrier. In both cases, amount of drug dispensed from the device reaching the lungs is dependent upon drug product characteristics as well as formulation-device relationship. Hence, in addition to particle size, aerodynamic distribution of the drug upon delivery by the device plays an important role in determining amount of drug reaching the lungs. Therefore particle size characterization is an important tool in determining the extent of drug delivery from the metered dose inhaler. Aerodynamic particle size distribution is frequently determined by use of cascade impactors and data so generated is accepted by regulatory agencies as a tool for predicting efficacy of MDIs and DPIs. This review discusses principle and working of cascade impactors. Additionally, the review also examines the role of laser diffraction technique in estimating size of dispersed particles.
COVID-19, SARS AND BATS CORONAVIRUSES GENOMES PECULIAR HOMOLOGOUS RNA SEQUENCES
Authors: Perez Jean Claude , Montagnier Luc
Published: August 2020

We are facing the worldwide invasion of a new coronavirus. This follows several limited outbreaks of related viruses in various locations in a recent past (SARS, MERS). Although the main current objective of researchers is to bring efficient therapeutic and preventive solutions to the global population, we need also to better understand the origin of the newly coronavirus-induced epidemic in order to avoid future outbreaks. The present molecular appraisal is to study by a bio-infomatic approach the facts relating to the virus and itsprecursors. This article shows how 16 fragments (Env Pol and Integrase genes) from different strains, both diversified and very recent, of the HIV1, HIV2 and SIV retroviruses have high percentage of homology into parts of the genome of COVID_19. Moreover each of these elements is made of 18 or more nucleotides and therefore may have a function. They are called Exogenous Informative Elements (EIE).. Among these EIE, 12 are concentrated in a very small region of the COVID-19 genome, length less than 900 bases, i.e. less than 3% of the total length of this genome. In addition, these EIE are positioned in two functional genes of COVID-19: the orf1ab and S spike genes. Here are the two main facts which contribute to our hypothesis of a partially synthetic genome: A contiguous region representing 2.49% of the whole COVID-19 genome of which 40.99% is made up of 12 diverse fragments originating from various strains of HIV SIV retroviruses. Some of these 12 EIE appear concatenated. Notably, the retroviral part of these regions, which consists of 8 elements from various strainsof HIV1, HIV2 and SIV covers a length of 275 contiguous bases of COVID-19. The cumulative length of these 8 HIV/SIV elements represents 200 bases. Consequently, the HIV SIV density rate of this region of COVID-19 is 200/275 = 72.73%.
THEORIES OF CHANGE IN THE PROCESS OF RURAL TRANSFORMATION: A REFINED WAY FORWARD
Authors: Rengarajan V. , Sivasubramaniyan K.
Published: August 2020

Theory of change has been a useful evaluation tool for social science research. The interest in its use has been notable in recent years amongst international aid organisations and public authorities who make huge investment in social oriented intervention with more focus on the challenges related to gender empowerment and poverty cure in rural area. Logically, the achievement of intended change (impact) matters. In this context, the emerging question is: 'How are we getting a candid profile of change after the project implementation? The sources of data for analysis are taken from evaluation reports of Programme Evaluation Organisation, Planning Commission, Government of India.  

Among the convolutions, found in the theory of change the important one is that the monitoring system does not extend beyond output level in the causal path revealing only impaired impact confining to the physical achievement vs target. This apart, there is no process monitoring of implementation and mid-course corrections. The paper suggests a slew of critical constituents for the refined theory of change which include: (a) process monitoring; (b) result based monitoring and evaluation (c) transparent outcome and the impact; and (d) human behaviour.

Tanaman kelor merupakan salah satu tanaman yang memiliki manfaat tidak hanya bagi kesehatan, namun juga memiliki nilai ekonomi. Seluruh bagian tanaman kelor mulai daun, kulit batang, buah dan bijinya bermanfaat bagi kesehatan. Tanaman ini dapat diolah menjadi berbagai obat herbal hingga bahan baku produk perawatan kulit. Tanaman kelor dapat tumbuh baik di daerah tropis, seperti halnya di Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Utara. Salah satu daerah yang banyak ditumbuhi tanaman kelor yaitu di Dusun Rongsot Timur, Desa Sigar Penjalin, Kecamatan Tanjung, Kabupaten Lombok Utara. Kelor diketahui memiliki banyak khasiat bagi kesehatan karena mengandung kandungan protein, kalsium, zat besi, vitamin A dan flavonoid. Namun sayangnya pemanfaatan tanaman kelor masih sebatas sebagai olahan sayur dan belum menjadi produk olahan yang menarik, berdaya saing dan bernilai ekonomi tinggi, dikarenakan masih terbatasnya informasi dan wawasan mitra mengenai pengolahan kelor. Tujuan dari pengabdian ini yaitu memberikan penyuluhan kepada mitra yang berada di Dusun Rosok, Desa Sigar Penjalin, Kecamatan Pemenang Barat, Kabupaten Lombok Utara mengenai pengolahan kelor. Metode yang dilakukan dalam kegiatan ini yaitu Fokus Group Discussion (FGD). Berdasarkan hasil kegiatan yang telah dialakukan diperoleh bahwa mitra belum mengenal manfaat, khasiat dan cara pengolahan tanaman kelor. Selain itu warga belum mengetahui berbagai produk olahan kelor. Namun setelah mengikuti kegiatan ini, mitra dapat mengetahui dengan baik manfaat, khasiat serta berbagai produk olahan kelor yang memiliki nilai ekonomi yang tinggi. Selain itu, keterampilan mitra pun meningkat setelah melakukan praktek langsung pengolahan daun kelor kering menjadi bubuk kelor.

Human and wildlife conflicts have a negative impact, especially langurs whose habitat in a small island. The study objective was to identify presence and the distribution of langurs in a small island. Data were collected using observation methods, then analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results show that there were 23 langur groups that distributed in 23 locations, with the number of smallest groups consisting of 6 individuals and the number of largest groups consisting of 12 individuals. Langur was found in the morning at 05.38 WIB-10.57 WIB and in the afternoon at 17.08 WIB-18.10 WIB. Most of these animals are found in agroforestry areas and a small part in mangrove forests. The highest activity intensity is found in the morning with the form of eating, locomotion (moving), grooming and resting activities. The existence of langurs in a small island is a good thing and must be preserved because langurs belong to protected animals. One way to conserve these animals is to create alternative conservation-based langur tourism.

Kebun Lebah Simpur (KLS) is one of the locations of Trigona spp bee cultivation which is quite large because it has become a reference for honey bee managers both from domestic and abroad. KLS is located in Lampung Province and has the potential to be developed into an ecotourism destination but the manager has been focusing on the cultivation and marketing of bee products. This study aims to analyze visitor perceptions regarding the management of KLS honey bees to support ecotourism activities. Data collection in this study uses the interview method with a questionnaire tool to visitors based on purposive sampling and in-depth interviews with managers to complete information about the management of KLS. The questionnaire contained questions about visitors' perceptions about KLS management based on the 4A ecotourism factor (attraction, accessibility, amenities and ancillary) with reference to Likert scale assessment. The results were then analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results of the analysis show that the aspect of attraction is classified as good, while the visitor's perception of the accessibility, amenities and ancillary factors is still relatively neutral so development still needs to be done.

Soybean is a drought tolerant crop which can grow from low to medium altitudes. In the lowland areas of North-Western Tigray the growing of leguminous crop is very low. To introduce soybean commodity in North-western Tigray, demonstration of improved soybean varieties were conducted in 2018/19. The trail was conducted at Tahtay Adyabo and Tselemti Districts that have a potential for growing the soybean. It was conducted by selecting three Kebelles from the districts. A total of 35 farmers were involved in the intervention. The necessary training was given to the participant farmers and experts. Following this improved seed of Awassa-95 and Gizo varieties at Tahtay Adyabo Districts, and Wegayen and Gizo seed at Tselemti District were offered to participant farmers. Each farmer have been planted a plot size of 0.02 ha for each of the two varieties. The descriptive result shows, Awassa-95 soybean variety has given significantly higher yield at Tahtay Adyabo as compared to Gizo variety. The variety was gave an average yield of 1067 kg/ha and 570 kg/ha respectively Awassa-95 and Gizo varieties. On the other hand an average yield of 1231 kg/ha and 1052 kg/ha, respectively was obtained for Gizo and Wegayen varieties at Tselemti District. This shows that Tselemti District is more better for the cropping of Gizo variety. Moreover, the improved soybean verities (Gizo at Tselemti district and Awassa-95 at Tahtay Adyabo district) were found to be early maturing and best option to moisture stressed areas for the society protein source. Based on the result it is recommended to be popularize Awassa-95 soybean variety at Tahtay Adyabo District and Gizao soybean varieties at Tselemti District to large farmers. Therefore, the research center and the office of agriculture and rural development of the Districts to be popularized the varieties to large number farmers of the areas.
Effectiveness of Urban Farming Program in Providing Multiple Benefits to the Urban Community in Malaysia

Published: August 2020

Residents have chosen to be living in urban regions in recent years largely due to the accessibility of job opportunities and public services. These led to a fast increase in the amount of people live in urban regions and cities. As a result, a large amount of the property used for agricultural activities was transformed into factories, housing units, and highways. This also resulted in a decrease in food production, growth in food prices and food import bills as the country now relies on food imports especially rice, fruits and vegetables, that can prevent the fostering of urban farming activities and then provide beneficial information essential to form it into a more consumer friendly program. Moreover, studies on urban farming are somewhat few in Malaysia and this study can become helpful for future research. The study focused on small-scale agriculture projects, such as community gardens, and community-level programs such as community supported agriculture and farmers markets. The study found that how urban agriculture enhances community resilience and wellbeing. This is the necessity for the Malaysian urban authorities to give more appropriate identification and support to city dwellers and promote them to develop the practice of urban farming.
Research on the Dynamic Relationships among Taiwan’s Early Childhood Education and Its Stakeholders: The Systematic Dynamic Perspective
Authors: Liao Tung-Shan , Wang Jyun-Tai
Published: August 2020

In Taiwan, the low birth rate has become one of the most critical problems faced by the government and educational institutions at all levels. The enrolling student number of kindergartens perhaps is the most directly affected by such trend. The purpose of this study aims at constructing a system dynamics model to depict the relationships between the preschool children and their stakeholders for deducing the evolutionary trends of, and the interactions of, government-related policies and the operations of the early childhood education institutions. Through the interpretation of policies and simulation analysis of the twenty-year growth trend related to the child population in Taiwan, this study found that governmental policies and the promotion of education and care services have a positive effect on the growth of all levels of kindergarten classes. Besides, the relationship between the education and care service staff and the kindergarten play a causal balancing role in our proposed model. We suggest that the system dynamics model proposed by this study can help to observe the dynamic relationships formed by the stakeholders in preschool education and care system based on the "joint responsibility" of Taiwan's early childhood education.
The Ecotoxicological Effects of Microplastics on Primary Producers in the Marine Environment
Authors: Islam Mahibul , Hasan Mahmudul , Majudmar Bhaskar Chandra , Paul Sulav Indra
Published: August 2020

Plastic debris is an emerging environmental threat all over the world. But its effect and distribution in the marine ecosystem is barely known. Microplastics abundance in the marine vegetated area is about 2 to 3 times higher than the bare site in the ocean. Although seagrass meadows trap huge amount of microplastics over the ocean floor, a considerable amount of microplastics are also sink incorporating with the marine aggregates from the epipelagic zone of the ocean. Scavenging of microplastics by diatom aggregation decreases the sinking rate of them rather than cryptophyte. As we know, marine snow is the leading carbon source for zoobenthos, but the ubiquitous presence of microplastics damages cell of different microalgae which may alter the food webs of marine ecosystems.  Additionally, microplastics releases immense amount of dissolved organic carbons (DOC) in the surrounding seawater that stimulates the growth of heterotrophic microorganisms as well as their functional activity. Plastic debris result in outbreaks of disease in the marine environment and coral reefs are highly affected by it. When coral reef comes in contact with microplastics, the disease infestation rate of the reef increases massively. Three major disease viz., skeletal eroding band, white syndrome and black band of coral reef causes approximately 46% of reef mortality due to microplastics consumption. Due to complex structure and size, the corals accumulates huge amount of microplastics that increases growth of pathogens by hampering the coral immune system. Existing scientific evidence presents that exposure of microplastics in aquatic environments triggers a wide variety of toxic insult from feeding disruption to reproductive performance, disturbances in energy metabolism throughout the ocean. The present review focused on the ecotoxicological effect of microplastics on primary producers of ocean, its uptake, accumulation, and excretion, and its probable toxicity with risk assessment approaches.

Vibrio is the most common genera associated with crustaceans and often causing significant economic losses. Many Vibrio species are pathogenic to human and have been implicated in food borne diseases. The present study was conducted to identify Vibrio spp. from the tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) of shrimp pond at Satkhira, Bangladesh. A total number of 33 Vibrio species isolates were identified from 20 shrimp samples through a series of morphological, physiological and biochemical tests. The work reports the prevalence of Vibrio spp. in the pond environments and the existence of three Vibrio species such as V. alginolyticus, V. parahaemolyticus and V. harveyi were identified. In the study of antibiogram, all isolates were shown 100% sensitive to streptomycin, ciprofloxacin and chloramphenicol. Maximum 41% isolates were shown resistant to co-trimethaxozole whereas 30% and 24% resistant to azithromycin and novobiocin respectively.

Kudoa is a myxozoan that causes myoliquefaction in marine fishes. Most of species only affect fish, but a K. septempunctata outbreak was reported in 358 people. Although many species of Kudoa are known, none was described in Brachyplatystoma filamentosum, Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii, Mugil curema, Plagioscion squamosissimus or Oxydoras niger until now. Due to the economic cost of eliminating seafood presenting myxozoan lesions, this study aimed to describe lesions found at necropsy and histopathology, as well as to detect this myxozoan by molecular techniques. For this purpose, were sampled 85 fish of the following species: Brachyplatystoma filamentosum, Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii, Mugil curema, Plagioscion squamosissimus, and Oxydoras niger from Colares and Vigia, Pará, Brazil. Necropsies were carried out to describe lesions and molecular techniques (PCR and sequencing) were applied for identification. Although muscle lesions were not observed at necropsy, histopathology revealed bacterial colonies, coagulative necrosis, dystrophic calcification, eosinophils, hemorrhage, parasitic cysts, protozoan, and vacuolization. After sequencing, K. shiomitsui (GENBANK: LC128646) was identified as the causative agent of fishes infection. Also, high parasitism of this myxozoan was observed in fishes sampled, i.e., 90 % in Colares and 100% in Vigia.

Authors: Arifin Syamsul
Published: August 2020

Abstrak: Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan Metode Transformasi Laplace Matriks untuk menyelesaikan masalah nilai awal dari sistem persamaan diferensial orde dua koefisien konstan. Sistem persamaan diferensial linear orde dua bentuk normal adalah X^'' (t)=A(t)X(t)+F(t) dimana X^'' (t) adalah turunan kedua dari X(t). X(t) adalah vektor kolom dari x_1 (t), x_2 (t),…,x_n (t). A(t) adalah matriks n×n. Jika entri-entri dari matriks tersebut semuanya konstanta, maka (1) disebut sistem persamaan diferensial linear orde dua koefisien konstan. Jika F(t) semua entrinya sama dengan nol, maka (1) dikatakan homogen. Jika tidak, maka disebut nonhomogen. Selanjutnya, jika nilai dari X(t) dan X'(t) pada saat awal diketahui atau X(t_0 )=X_0 dan X'(t_0 )=〖X'〗_0, maka (1) merupakan masalah nilai awal dari sistem linear orde dua. Pada dasarnya, metode ini adalah gabungan antara Metode Matriks dan Transformasi Laplace. Solusi masalah nilai awal sistem persamaan diferensial orde dua koefisien konstan menggunakan Metode Transformasi Laplace Matriks adalah X=L^(-1) {X ̂ }=L^(-1) {(s^2 I-A)^(-1) (F ̂(s)+sX(0)+X'(0))}. Kata kunci : Metode Transformasi Laplace Matriks, masalah nilai awal, sistem persamaan diferensial linear orde dua koefisien konstan, sistem pegas massa.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini menganalisis tesis/disertasi tentang sejarah pendidikan Islam yang diajukan ke Pascasarjana UIN SU Medan. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahawa alasan utama memilih tema sejarah pendidikan Islam adalah kekaguman akan capaian masa lalu dan keyakinan kuat bahwa sejarah relevan terhadap pendidikan Islam masa sekarang. Mayoritas tesis/disertasi adalah tentang topik pendidikan Islam modern (69.4%) dalam setting Indonesia (66.7%) dengan topik yang paling populer adalah lembaga pendidikan Islam (44.4%). Mayoritas tesis/disertasi (69.5%) telah menggunakan metode sejarah secara konsisten, dengan referensi paling banyak adalah Kuntowijoyo dan Dudung Abdurrahman. Mayoritas mutlak (80.5%) telah merujuk kepada sumber-sumber primer dalam pengumpulan data sejarah. Meskipun semua sepakat tentang relevansi sejarah, hanya 10% tesis/disertasi yang secara khusus menjelaskan relevansi penelitiannya terhadap pendidikan Islam kontemporer, itu pun masih pada tataran teoretis. Karenanya, pemanfaatan temuan dari tesis/disertasi tersebut secara praktis masih memerlukan langkah lanjutan, yakni melalui proses modeling atau eksperimentasi.

Abstract: The History of Islamic Education as a Theme for Student's Final Thesis at Postgraduate Level of Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara. This study surveys theses on history of Islamic education, submitted to Graduate Studies State Islamic University Medan both for master and doctorate levels. The study concludes that the main reasons to study the topic are admiration of past achievements and strong belief in its relevance to contemporary Islamic education. The majority of the theses concentrate on modern time topics (69.4%) of Indonesian Islamic education (66.7%) with the most popular topic being Islamic education institutions (44.4%). The majority of the theses (69.5%) have consistently used historical method. The most frequently cited works on historical methodology are those of Kuntowijoyo and Dudung Abdurrahman. An absolute majority (80.5%) of the theses refers to primary sources related to their topics. Despite expressive believe in the relevance of history, only 10% of the theses allocate special segment to explain the relevance of their study findings, albeit in rather theoretical tones. As such efforts are needed to further use these study findings into a more practical ways, probably through modeling and experimentation.
