Published: October 2020

Perkembangan teknologi, khususnya teknologi komunikasi dan informatika, sedang mengalami masa keemasan, satu diantaranya media sosial. Media sosial seakan-akan sudah menjadi kebutuhan hidup manusia, setiap saat orang mengakses internet demi terhubung dengan perkembangan berita yang ada di media sosial, seperti kabar dari orang tua, saudara, teman, rekan bisnis, atau kabar dari suatu grup tertentu. Tujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk menganalisis bagaimana adab bermedia sosial dalam pandangan Islam. Metode penulisan menggunakan kajian pustaka dengan merujuk beberapa sumber referensi baik sumber primer maupun sumber sekunder yang berasal dari beberapa buku, al-Qur’an, al-Hadits, maupun jurnal. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, disimpulkan bahwa seorang muslim dalam bersosialisasi dengan menggunakan media sosial hendaknya senantiasa menjunjung tinggi adab dalam bersosialisasi, dengan saling menghormati sesama mahluk ciptaan Allah, karena setiap perbuatan yang dikerjakan di dunia akan dipertanggungjawabkan di akhirat. Manfaat media sosial cukup banyak untuk mencari ridho Allah SWT, tergantung penggunaannya, apakah digunakan untuk hal-hal yang baik atau buruk.

Abstract. The development of technology, especially communication and informatics technology, is being developed golden, one that is approved by social media. Social media seems to be a necessity for human life, every time people access the internet to connect with the development of news on social media, such as news from parents, siblings, friends, business associates, or news from any particular group. The purpose of the discussion of this article is to analyze how social media is in the view of Islam. The comparison method uses literature studies with several reference sources both primary sources and secondary sources derived from several books, the Koran, the Hadith, and journals. Based on the results of the analysis, it was concluded that a Muslim in socializing using social media asked to always uphold adab in socializing, with mutual respect for fellow creatures created by Allah, by conducting research done in the world will be accounted for in the hereafter. The benefits of social media are enough to seek Allah's blessing, depending on its use, it can be used for good or bad things.

MANAJEMEN PEMBELAJARAN AGAMA DAN KEAGAMAAN DI ERA INDUSTRI 4.0
Authors: Zuhri Saefudin
Published: October 2020

Industrial era 4.0 became a big chalangge for educators especially for religious and religious subjects or Islamic Educators. Because in addition to teaching religious content that is mandatory for Muslim believers, Islamic Religious Education must also teach that instruct muslim to be creative and innovative, along with teaching about inclusiveism in order to collaborate across ethnic, cultural and religious group in facing the area of disruptive innovation. Which is an opportunity for anyone to pay attention to linearity. Industry 4.0 as the CPS, IoT, and IoS era, has been very systemic, and every industry does not need many people, except computer operators, production network supervisors and all related to computer work control. Therefore, they must be creative people to develop entrepreneurship, or services that are needed by society. Opportunity to be able to do  entrepreneurial works is huge, because the world now ignores linierity, instead appreciates more creativity and networking capabilities. Therefore, educators must educate their students, and lecturers also direct their students to be realistic and become creative people. Creative and innovative education has no subjects. Therefore, fostering and enhancing their creativity is done through pendagogy for all subjects, especially subjects such as Islamic Education in schools or universities, so that they can get used to being creative and innovative people. As well as, inclusivism must be forestered and forested through a learning process that touches on aspect of attitude or affective trough discussion and or other techniques that enchance the competencies or learners in collaborating across ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds.

GAMBARAN OPTIMIS PASIEN RAWAT INAP
Authors: Florence Nightin Gale  , Rahma Fauzia
Published: October 2020

Individu yang menjalani rawat inap akan menghadapi berbagai macam stresor sehingga pasien rawat inap membutuhkan sikap optimistis karena optimisme diasosiasikan dengan koping yang lebih adaptif, tingkat depresi yang rendah, perilaku yang mendukung kondisi kesehatan, dan memiliki kemungkinan yang lebih kecil untuk menjalani rawat inap kembali. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat gambaran optimis pasien rawat inap. Penelitian ini menggunakan sampel sebanyak 100 orang pasien rawat inap dengan teknik incidental sampling menggunakan LOT-R. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pasien yang pesimis (28%) berjumlah lebih banyak dari pasien optimis (8%), dan pasien yang berada dalam kategori ‘tidak terkategori’ berjumlah 63%. Pesimisme bisa disebabkan karena pasien tidak mempersepsikan pendamping selama menjalani rawat inap sebagai dukungan sosial ataupun pasien merasa kehilangan kontrol personal selama menjalani rawat inap. Pesimisme bisa dikurangi dengan memberikan edukasi tentang proactive coping kepada keluarga tentang dukungan sosial yang memang dibutuhkan oleh pasien ataupun kognitif kontrol kepada pasien.

Published: October 2020

Pada penelitian ini, kami meneliti hubungan antara persepsi keselarasan budaya dengan preferensi strategi akulturasi etnis lokal terhadap Etnis Tionghoa di Medan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persepsi keselarasan budaya memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan strategi akulturasi. Artinya, semakin individu mempersepsikan bahwa budaya lokal dengan budaya Tionghoa tidak selaras maka individu tersebut akan cenderung melakukan strategi akulturasi ekslusi atau segregasi. Sedangkan individu yang mempersepsikan selaras antara budaya lokal dengan budaya Tionghoa maka individu akan cenderung melakukan strategi akulturasi multikultural atau asimilasi.

This paper reports a new parallel and distributed simulation architecture for OMNeT++, an open-source discrete event simulation environment. The primary application area of OMNeT++ is the simulation of communication networks. Support for a conservative PDES protocol (the Null Message Algorithm) and the relatively novel Ideal Simulation Protocol has been implemented.Placeholder modules, a novel way of distributing the model over several logical processes (LPs) is presented. The OMNeT++ PDES implementation has a modular and extensible architecture, allowing new synchronization protocols and new communication mechanisms to be added easily, which makes it an attractive platform for PDES research, too. We intend touse this framework to harness the computational capacity of highperformance cluster computersfor modeling very large scale telecommunication networks to investigate protocol performance and rare event failure scenarios.

Published: October 2020

The study aims to determine the distribution of the ABO/Rhesus Blood Groups among Hepatitis B virus (HBV) positive patients in Lagos State. Copies of structured questionnaires were distributed to 162 HBV patients that visited selected health facilities within 6 months in the city. After obtaining relevant information, whole blood samples were collected from each participant in an EDTA bottle. Thereafter, the ABO blood group types (A, B, AB, and O) as well as Rhesus blood groups were determined using standard protocols. Results showed that 48.1% of the participants had type O blood group, followed by type A (26.5%), type B (24.7%), and type AB (0.6%). Moreover, 94.4% of the participants were Rh+. The study showed that HBV was more prevalent among participants with type O blood group (48.1%) with rhesus positivity of 94.4%, compared to other blood group types. This indicates that type O individuals in the city could be more susceptible to HBV infection. There should be public awareness on the association between ABO/Rh blood groups and the prevalence of HBV infection in the state.

Authors: Oladele Adekanmi Kamar , Sogunle Kazeem A.
Published: October 2020

The quality of Dakuwa can be affected by raw materials and processing methods. This work studied the effects of groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.) varieties (Campala, white and Sere) on the colour, flavour profile and sensory properties of Dakuwa. The flavour profile of the Dakuwa samples was analysed with gas chromatography – mass spectroscopy (GC – MS), colour by chroma meter and proximate composition using standard methods while sensory evaluation was done by 25 untrained panelists. The results were analysed using one way analysis of variance. Dakuwa sample with Campala groundnut (DKWC) had the highest concentration of alcohols (20 μg /100 g), aldehydes (86 μg /100 g), ketones (1.9 μg /100 g),  heterocyclic aromatic compounds (11.2 μg /100 g), and total flavour compounds (151 μg /100 g) suggesting higher lipid oxidation and Maillard reaction compared to Dakuwa with Sere and White groundnuts.  DKWC had significantly lower L* (lightness) value and significantly higher browning index (84.75) suggesting a higher browning reaction compared to other samples. Sensory evaluation results indicated no significant (p > 0.05) difference in the samples. It can be concluded that any of the three groundnut varieties can be used to produce Dakuwa without altering its sensory qualities.

Published: October 2020

Honey, the unique, natural, liquid sweetening agent is produced by honey bees from the nectar of plants or from honeydew. Honey is also known to have many medicinal applications including antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. The composition of honey may vary due to geographical location, environmental and climatic conditions, plant species, as well as the methods employed during collection and storage of the honey. Honey contains different types of proteins, hormones, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, yeast, as well as organic acids, and principally sugars. This study was conducted in order to analyze and compare the mineral contents of the honey samples collected at the three senatorial districts of Kano state, with three honey samples collected from two local governments each from the three Senatorial Districts of Kano State, Nigeria. The mineral compositions of all the honey samples were determined using flame photometer and atomic absorption spectrophotometer. All the honey samples analyzed were found to be rich in K (247.49 to 251.73 µg/g); Na (137.16 to 147.53 µg/g); Ca (188.57 to 221.32 µg/g); Mg (76.49 to 78.83 µg/g) and Zn (31.15 to 48.92 µg/g), while Fe (6.84 to 14.27 µg/g); Mn (0.08 to 0.13 µg/g); Cu (0.12 to 0.25 µg/g); Ni (0.98 to 1.27 µg/g) and Pb (not detectable to 0.0002 µg/g) were found in smaller concentrations, The mineral compositions of all the honey samples were found to meet the international honey standards, and are therefore suitable for human consumption.

Published: October 2020

Haemoparasites are either intracellular or extracellular organisms that inhabit the blood stream of vertebrate hosts. This study was conducted in Zaria Nigeria inorder to investigate the prevalence of haemoparasites in polo horses and their effects on haematological parameters. Blood samples were collected from a total of 100 randomly selected horses from polo stables across Zaria. The blood samples were screened and examined using thin blood smear, buffy coat technique, and differential white blood cell count. From the results thirteen horses 100(13%) were found infected with haemoparasites. The prevalence of Theileria equi in local and exotic breeds was 5(9.4%) and4 (8.5%) while for microfilaria it was 3(5.3%) and1 (2.1%). There were no Babesia or Trypanosomes found in the samples 0%. Among sexes the prevalence of Theileria equi and microfilaria in males was 1(7.7%) while in females it was (9.3%) and 3(3.4%).A high prevalence of Theileria equi and microfilaria was seen among old horses 6(9.3%) and4 (3.4%) compared to young 3(7.7%) and1 (7.7%).There was no significant association between the presence of the infection and its effect on haematological values (p>0.05). In conclusion some haemoparasites were found in polo horses in Zaria. It is hereby recommended that routine vector control and prophylactic treatment should be carried out in stables
IMPROVING THE LOCAL GEOMETRIC GEOID MODEL OF FCT ABUJA ACCURACY BY FITTING A HIGHER ORDER/DEGREE POLYNOMIAL SURFACE
Authors: Oluyori Paul Dare , Eteje Sylvester Okiemute
Published: October 2020

The improvement of the accuracy of a local geometric geoid model using the same data set (geoid heights) requires the fitting of a higher degree polynomial surface to the data set. Consequently, this paper presents improving the local geometric geoid model of FCT, Abuja accuracy by fitting a higher order polynomial surface. A fifth degree polynomial surface was fit to the existing geoid heights of 24 points used previously for the determination of the geometric geoid model of the study area to improve its accuracy. The least squares adjustment technique was applied to compute the model parameters, as well as the fit. The RMSE index was applied to compute the accuracy of the model. The computed accuracy (0.081m) of the model was compared with those of the previously determined geoid models (Multiquadratic, 0.110m and Bicubic, 0.136m models) of the study area to determine which of the models best fit the study area, as well as has the highest resolution. The comparison result shows that the fifth degree polynomial surface best fit the study area.

Published: October 2020

Different parts of Vitellaria paradoxa plant have many applications in ethno-medicine. Some of the uses of this plant include treatment of diarrhoea and other GIT disorders. In this study the antidiarrhoeal activity of the ethanol extract of Vitellaria paradoxa was evaluated using three experimental models: Castor oil-induced diarrhoea; small intestinal motility and intestinal fluid accumulation (enteropooling) models in mice. Five groups of five mice were used for each model. Group one mice received 10 ml/kg of distilled water, while groups 2, 3, and 4 received 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg of the extract orally respectively. Group 5 mice received Loperamide 5 mg/kg orally. Oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the extract was determined using OECD (2008) Guideline 425. Phytochemical studies were conducted using standard procedures. The LD50 was estimated to be greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight and there were no signs of mortality or visible signs of toxicity in all the mice treated. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of carbohydrates, alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, triterpenes, steroids, cardiac glycosides and anthraquinones glycosides. Extract showed a dose-dependent anti-diarrhoeal activity by reducing stool frequency and consistency. The extract at the higher doses significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited GIT motility and castor oil-induced enteropooling, comparable to that of the reference control drug Loperamide. The study showed that ethanol stem bark extract of Vitellaria paradoxa possess anti-diarrhoeal activity and thus justifies its ethno-medicinal use in the treatment of diarrhoea.
A DOMIAN DECOMPOSITION METHOD FOR STEADY FREE CONVECTIVE COUETTE FLOW IN A VERTICAL CHANNEL WITH NON-LINEAR THERMAL RADIATION, DYNAMIC VISCOSITY AND DYNAMIC THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY EFFECTS
Authors: Ajibade O. A. , Jha B. K. , Jibril H. M. , Bichi Yusuf A.
Published: October 2020

In this paper, we investigate steady free convective Couette flow in a vertical channel with nonlinear thermal radiation, dynamic viscosity and dynamic thermal conductivity effects. The investigation is motivated by the studies of some researchers which assumed linear thermal radiation and constant fluid properties. However, this is uncalled for; as these assumptions do not reflect true behavior of the flow. For instance; increase in temperature affects fluid viscosity, thermal conductivity thereby changing the transport phenomenon. Here; the investigation considers both the fluid viscosity and thermal conductivity to be dependent on temperature with the thermal radiation adopting nonlinear form. Due to this reasons, the associated flow equations are highly nonlinear and exhibit no analytical solution and therefore require the use of Adomian decomposition method (ADM) of solution. The attained ADM solution is then coded into computer algebra package of mathematica where results under the parameters of interest are presented and discussed. Results of the investigation show that raising the thermal radiation leads to corresponding rise in both the velocity and temperature of the fluid in the channel. Furthermore; lessening the viscosity and thermal conduction of the fluid were identified to escalate both velocity and temperature of the fluid.

Published: October 2020

Inadequate documentation and information of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) in the study sites call for the assessment of composition and diversity of the concern products. Therefore, the aim of the study is to assess the Composition and Diversity of Non- Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) in Baturiya Wetland Game Reserve, Jigawa State, Nigeria. A four (4) transects of 1km length was laid at an interval of 400 m. Likewise, in each transect, 4 plots of 100 x 100 m was laid alternately along each transect at 200 m interval. Also four (4) quadrants of 1m x1m in size for small non-timber forest products was randomly laid in each 100 x100m plot for each of the habitats in each plot, plant stocks identified were recorded. Data collected were analysed using Simpson index, Sorenson index and descriptive statistic. Results showed that Upland area had the highest species, number of individual and diversity of Non–Timber Forest Product followed by Swampy area and Fadama area with the values of (94, 1464, D-0.981), (63, 842, D-0.970) and (60, 805, D-0.969) respectively. Upland area and Swampy area had the highest similarity index of 78.5%. The results suggest that the documentation, inventory and management of NTFPs should be addressed in operational plan to enhance its diversity

Authors: Balarabe Mukhtar , Saadu Bello
Published: October 2020

To improve our understanding of the impact of desert dust on human health, there is need to constantly monitor and examined the dust related phenomena. Therefore, twenty 20 year’s (1998–2018) data of visibility for Ilorin Nigeria were used to estimate the concentrations of the Total Suspended Particles (TSP) and Particulate Matter PM10 as usually used to monitor air quality on international level. The results established the threshold for daily concentration of TSP (254) and PM10 (186) μgm−3 at the study sites. It also identified months (November-March) of the following year with the greatest number of days having low air quality (high concentration of TSP and PM10). These months are responsible for 47% of the annual air pollution and number of days above the US EPA-NAAQSTSP, US EPA-NAAQS PM10 as well as the 24-hour EU-LVAQ regulations, respectively. Furthermore, some considerable numbers of days were found to experienced hazardous atmospheric condition for the total number of days, Harmattan and summer respectively. The concentrations of PM10 (0-54 μgm−3) showed absence of good air quality throughout the period of study. Even though, there were significant number of days associated with moderate air quality most of which occurs during summer. Consequence of which can lead to increased respiratory symptoms and aggravation of lung diseases. It was also observed that, the concentrations of TSP and PM10 start of build up in the atmosphere by October, reaching peak in December and January before it decline by April and remain low with almost uniform values until September.
A Combined Strain Element in Static, Frequency and Buckling Analyses of Laminated Composite Plates and Shells
Authors: Ton-That Hoang Lan , Nguyen-Van Hieu
Published: October 2020

This paper deals with numerical analyses of laminated composite plate and shell structures using a new four-node quadrilateral flat shell element, namely SQ4C, based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and a combined strain strategy. The main notion of the combined strain strategy is based on the combination of the membrane strain and shear strain related to tying points as well as bending strain with respect to cell-based smoothed finite element method. Many desirable characteristics and the enforcement of the SQ4C element are verified and proved through various numerical examples in static, frequency and buckling analyses of laminated composite plate and shell structures. Numerical results and comparison with other reference solutions suggest that the present element is accuracy, efficiency and removal of shear and membrane locking.

Published: October 2020

Cancer is a disease of aging and, as the world's population ages, the number of older persons with cancer is increasing and will make up a growing share of the oncology population in virtually every country. Despite this, older patients remain vastly underrepresented in research that sets the standards for cancer treatments. Consequently, most of what we know about cancer therapeutics is based on clinical trials conducted in younger, healthier patients, and effective strategies to improve clinical trial participation of older adults with cancer remain sparse. For this systematic review, the authors evaluated published studies regarding barriers to participation and interventions to improve participation of older adults in cancer trials. The quality of the available evidence was low and, despite a literature describing multifaceted barriers, only one intervention study aimed to increase enrollment of older adults in trials. The findings starkly amplify the paucity of evidence‐based, effective strategies to improve participation of this underrepresented population in cancer trials. Within these limitations, the authors provide their opinion on how the current cancer research infrastructure must be modified to accommodate the needs of older patients. Several underused solutions are offered to expand clinical trials to include older adults with cancer. However, as currently constructed, these recommendations alone will not solve the evidence gap in geriatric oncology, and efforts are needed to meet older and frail adults where they are by expanding clinical trials designed specifically for this population and leveraging real‐world data.
Micro-geographic variation in burrow use of Agassiz’s desert tortoises in the Sonoran Desert of California
Authors: Cummings Kristy
Published: October 2020

Little has been published regarding the burrowing habits of Agassiz’s desert tortoises (Gopherus agassizii) in the Sonoran Desert of California. We monitored the interactions of tortoises with their burrows, and other tortoises, via radio-telemetry at two nearby sites between the Cottonwood and Orocopia Mountains, from 2015-2018. We examined how annual cycles of drought and non-drought years, behaviourally affected how tortoises use their burrows (i.e., burrow fidelity, cohabitation, and location), including the timing of the tortoise brumation period. Burrow locations were strongly dependent on local geology and topography, with a tendency to orientate in conformance with the general aspect of the landscape. The timing of brumation was similar to records for G. agassizii throughout their range (with a few exceptions). There was no difference in the estimated number of burrows used per 30 days between the active seasons (2017 and 2018) at the Orocopia site, despite the occurrence of drought in 2018.
Revisiting the generic position and acoustic diagnosis of Odontophrynus salvatori (Anura: Odontophrynidae)
Authors: de Medeiros Magalhaes Felipe
Published: October 2020

Herein we evaluate the phylogenetic position, and revisit the generic allocation of Odontophrynus salvatori, which has for long been considered controversial because it exhibits intermediate morphological features between Odontophrynus and Proceratophrys. By assessing a fragment of the 16S mitochondrial gene from topotypical specimens, we confirm that O.
salvatori is a member of the genus Proceratophrys and sister to P. moratoi, also forming a clade with P. concavitympanum and P. ararype. Therefore, we formally transfer O. salvatori to the genus Proceratophrys [Proceratophrys salvatori (Caramaschi 1996) comb. nov.]. Additionally, the calls of Proceratophrys salvatori and P. moratoi, formally compared for the first time, are shown to exhibit similar structures: they both emit single multi-pulsed notes that differ mainly in pulse repetition rate and dominant frequency. Finally, we summarise occurrence records for P. salvatori and P. moratoi and provide a new record of P. moratoi in Mato Grosso State, extending its distribution about 490 km to the north-west.
Changes in plasma oestradiol, testosterone an progesterone concentrations during an annual reproductive cycle in wild Aldabra giant tortoises (Aldabrachelys gigantea)
Authors: Kummrow Maya
Published: October 2020

Aldabra giant tortoises (Aldabrachelys gigantea) are currently listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. However, negative impacts of sea-level rise are predicted to result in an overall population decline of 40-65 % over the next 100 years, rendering the species Endangered. Captive propagation is an important tool for in- and ex-situ species conservation, but breeding success outside the tortoises’ native island habitats has been very limited. Until now, the reproductive cycle of
Aldabra tortoises has only been described in anatomic and behavioural studies. During a one-year period, plasma of four female and four male wild tortoises on Aldabra Atoll were examined monthly for levels of gonadal steroid hormones (oestradiol, testosterone, progesterone). Plasma oestradiol and testosterone values as well as meteorological data of the sampling period corresponded to previously published reports on seasonal changes in anatomy, behaviour and climate on the Aldabra Atoll. Seasonal changes in plasma testosterone were evident in males, with high values from January through April, reflecting previously described testicular growth and breeding season, followed by a nadir in August and September. In females, plasma oestradiol levels displayed seasonal changes, coinciding with reported ovarian growth from January to May. The obtained
data provide prerequisite knowledge for endocrinological monitoring of reproductive processes and management of breeding programs, both ex-situ as in-situ, to establish reserve- and rewilded populations.
Mitochondrial DNA analysis reveals extremely low genetic diversity in a managed population of the Critically Endangered Gharial (Gavialis gangeticus, Gmelin, 1789)
Authors: Sharma Surya Prasad
Published: October 2020

A decline in the numbers of threatened species is often reversed by reintroduction with the aim of repopulating or strengthening the population to reduce the risk of extinction. The success of reintroduction programs is associated with demographic and genetic monitoring of the reintroduced populations. We undertook a genetic assessment of the Critically Endangered gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) to assess the current level of genetic variation using three partial mitochondrial (mt) DNA regions: cytochrome b, cytochrome c oxidase subunit-I and the control region. We sequenced 103 samples collected across 14 nesting sites. A low level of mtDNA variation was observed in the sampled population (hd = 0.462 ± 0.048; Pi = 0.00029 ± 0.00004). Only five distinct haplotypes were observed in three segregating sites. This is the first assessment of the genetic variation in the wild gharial population to be made using mtDNA. Homogeneity in the 520 bp hypervariable control region of the crocodilian mtDNA is reported here for the first time. The low mitochondrial diversity and no genetic structure in the sampled population is indicative of a genetic bottleneck, the founder effect and probably associated with humanassisted augmentation of the population of the gharial. An extremely low level of genetic variation in the largest gharial population highlights the vulnerability of the gharial population in the wild and calls for immediate genetic assessment of other gharial populations so that a robust conservation plan focusing on connectivity and enhanced protection can be developed for the long-term persistence of the gharial in the wild.
New insights about ovarian pigmentation in Anura
Authors: Goldberg Javier
Published: October 2020

Amphibians have pigmented cells in organs beyond just skin. Their functions involve free radical neutralisation, early innate response, and a relationship with environmental temperature and UV light. In gonads, pigment containing-cells seem to be restricted mainly to the testes and related to sperm production. However, we report for the first time ovarian melanisation in Pseudis minuta and its ontogenetic changes in larval and
postmetamorphic stages. Melanin containing-cells on the ovarian surface initially appear at early premetamorphic stages whereas in the cortex they occur later. In consecutive stages, melanin containing-cells were more evident among oocytes but without a clear pattern, being located randomly within the germinal epithelium or in the stroma. Although their function is unclear, a relationship with the fast acquisition of sexual maturity must be
further explored.
Evidence of the peptide identity of the epidermal alarm cue in tadpoles of the toad Rhinella arenarum
Authors: Raices Marilina
Published: October 2020

Chemical cues associated with predation attempts allow prey to trigger defensive behaviours. Accordingly, tadpoles of several species of anurans display strong behavioural responses to chemical cues of injured conspecifics. As part of the antipredator response, tadpoles show rapid and sustained inhibition of activity when exposed to chemical cues of predation. Although the ability to respond to cues of conspecifics has been confirmed in a wide variety of anuran species, studies about the tissue source and the chemical aspects of the molecules involved are scarce and contradictory. In the present work, we analysed the chemical characteristics, tissue source and release mechanism of the chemical alarm cue in Rhinella arenarum tadpoles. Our results support the hypothesis that a peptide of epidermal origin in mediates amphibian tadpole communication.

Hyvätkään, oppimispsykologisesti perustellut oppimisympäristöt eivät ole välttämättä saaneet laajaa jalansijaa todellisessa koulutyössä. Siirtyminen avoimiin opiskeluympäristöihin tulisikin nähdä kokonaisvaltaisena koko oppilaitoksen kehittämisprosessina, eikä pelkästään teknologian tai uuden oppimisnäkemyksen soveltamisena opetukseen.

Koulutuspolitiikka – rahavirtojen ohjaamista
Authors: Sederlöf Heikki
Published: October 2020

Talouden ja vapaan sivistystyön yhteyksistä on puhuttu ja kirjoitettu kohtalaisen vähän – lukuunottamatta ”lisää valtionapua” tai ”konkurssi tulee” -kirjoituksia. Seuraava kirjoitus syntyi lyhyellä varoitusajalla. Aikuiskasvatus-lehden yhteydenotto osui valtakunnan päälehden lamauutisen perään (Alkaako nyt pudotuspeli? - Helsingin Sanomat 10.11.1991). Talousasioiden käsittelylle on tarvetta – myös Aikuiskasvatuksen sivuilla. Toisaalta Ville Marjomäen kirjoitus Valtionapubulvaanista sivistystyöntekijäksi on jäänyt bulvaania kaivelemaan – ja vaille ansaitsemaansa keskustelua (Aikuiskasvatus 1/91). Puheenvuoro on kirjoitettu edellisten haastamana, devalvaatioviikolla. Vaikka lähden kansanopiston näkökulmasta, on kysymyksenasettelu laajempi: Markkinavoimat ovat tulleet jäädäkseen ja murtavat suljetut järjestelmät. Uusia mahdollisuuksia avautuu, mutta millä hinnalla?

Mikä oikeuttaa yliopistojen täydennyskoulutuksen?
Authors: Jolkkonen Ari
Published: October 2020

Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan sitä, kuinka täydennyskoulutuskeskukset sovittavat itsensä perinteiden määrittämään yliopistoon tieteen ja käytännön välittäjänä. Täydennyskoulutuskeskukset tarjoavat tieteen edustajien tunnustaman yliopistollisen aseman vastineeksi yliopiston ulkopuolelta hankkimaansa aineellista ja ei-aineellista tunnustusta. Tunnustuksen arvoa kohottaa se, että täydennyskoulutuskeskusten toiminta näyttää arkipäiväisyydestään huolimatta ratkaisevasti tukevan suurten yhteiskuntapoliittisten tavoitteiden, kuten rakennemuutoksen hallitseminen ja tietoyhteiskunnan rakentaminen, saavuttamista. Vaikka yhteiskunnallinen hyväksyntä on tullut koko yliopistolle entistä tärkeämmäksi, tieteen edustajien on vaikea antaa täydennyskoulutuskeskuksille oikeutta esiintyä tieteen edustajana, sillä he pelkäävät täydennyskoulutuskeskusten yliopillisten perinteiden vastaisen toimintatavan nakertavan tieteen arvostusta.

Hiljainen taitotieto ja henkilöstön kehittäminen
Authors: Varila Juha
Published: October 2020

Henkilöstön kehittäminen jaetaan artikkelissa ennakoivaan ja ennakoimattomaan oppimiseen. Aikuisten oppimisesta arviolta 80 prosenttia oletetaan olevan ennakoimatonta. Artikkelin aiheena on hiljainen taitotieto, joka on työtehtäviin ja toimintakontekstiin kytkeytyvän taidon perusta ja kehittyy käytännön kokemuksen myötä. Yksi organisaatioiden koulutuksen keskeinen funktio on solmukohta, missä saavutetun taitotiedon seurauksena työ ei enää tarjoa oppimishaasteita. Kirjoittaja käsittelee tältä pohjalta henkilöstökoulutuksen suuntautumisvaihtoehtoja. Keskeistä on muistaa kysyä, ovatko työtehtävät ihmisen mittaisia.
Application of Electronic Module Teaching Materials to Improve Student Learning Outcomes in Rhythmic Gymnastics Subject
Authors: Oktariyana Oktariyana , Oktariyani Oktariyani
Published: October 2020

The learning process that is currently taking place in the rhythmic gymnastics course in the Health and Recreation Physical Education study program at the University of Nahdlatul Ulama Lampung is still using the printed module. This is still considered ineffective and inefficient, which causes student learning outcomes in low rhythm gymnastics courses. This study aims to determine the increase in student learning outcomes between before and after being given an electronic module in rhythmic gymnastics courses. The method used in this study was one group pre-test post-test design. In this study, a pre-test and post-test were conducted to determine the increase in student learning outcomes. The increase in student learning outcomes is expressed by the N-Gain score. The results showed that the applied electronic module teaching materials could improve student learning outcomes in rhythmic gymnastics courses. Where the average N-Gain score was 56.75% with the category quite effective. Thus the application of electronic module teaching materials can improve student learning outcomes in rhythmic gymnastics courses.
