EFEKTIVITAS PENEMPATAN PEGAWAI TERHADAP PENINGKATAN KINERJA PADA BALAI KARANTINA PERTANIAN KELAS II CILEGON
Authors: Taniantari Yuni
Published: March 2020

am urusan penempatan pegawai yang dilakukan sebenarnya harus melalui beberapa tahapan, diantaranya tahap pertama adalah seleksi administratif dan kemudian dilanjutkan dengan seleksi melalui psikotest dan tes manajerial. Para calon pegawai yang dapat melewati tahap ini kemudian akan diseleksi berdasarkan bidang pendidikan, pengalaman kerja dan minat calon pegawai tersebut. Dari hasil seleksi tersebut calon pegawai yang direkrut kemudian akan ditempatkan sesuai bidang pendidikan dan pengalaman yang dimilikinya. Sebagai contoh, pegawai yang berlatar belakang pendidikan Sarjana Ekonomi akan ditempatkan di bidang keuangan. Penampatan pegawai sebagaimana dikemukakan oleh Prof. Dr. H. Veithzal Rivai, M.B.A., dalam bukunya Manajemen Sumber Daya Manusia Untuk Perusahaan Dari Teori Ke Praktek menyatakan bahwa penempatan pegawai/karyawan (placement) adalah mengalokasikan para pegawai/karyawan pada posisi kerja”. Mengingat dalam penerimaan pegawai bukan kewenangan Balai Pertanian Karantina II Cilegon, maka penempatan pegawai yang dimaksud dalam penelitian ini adalah penempatan pegawai yang sudah ada dalam organisasi Balai Pertanian Karantina II Cilegon, dengan melalui seleksi dan uji kompetensi bagi setiap pegawai yang akan menduduki jabatan dalam setiap bagian atau bidang, selanjutnya diajukan ke Dinas Pertanian dan Kehutanan Provinsi Banten. Namun bagi pegawai /staf dalam penempatan pegawai dilakukan dengan seleksi pendidikan, pengetahuan, keterampilan dan sikap yang dimiliki oleh pegawai yang bersangkutan. Berdasarkan hasil rekapitulasi dukungan data empiris terhadap hipotesis yang dirumuskan dari Pelaksanaan Perencanaan Sumber Daya Manusia memperoleh rata-rata adalah sebesar 75,07 % termasuk katagori ”Baik”, dengan kemudahan Penempatan Pegawai memperoleh hasil 76,20% juga termasuk katagori ”Baik”. Hal ini menunjukkan adanya indikasi korelasi positif, artinya apabila semakin tinggi tingkat pelaksanaan Perencanaan Sumber Daya Manusia akan diikuti dengan semakin tingginya kemudahan penempatan pegawai, dan begitu pula sebaliknya apabila tingkat perencanaan Sumber Daya Manusia kurang mendapat perhatian atau tidak pernah dilakukan, maka akan memperoleh kesulitan dalam menempatkan pegawai yang sesuai dengan kompetensinya..

Published: March 2020

Sudah umum diketahui orang bahwa Kota Bandung adalah surga bagi pecinta kuliner. Meski demikian, dalam keragaman tersebut, sulit jika mengatakan bahwa kuliner-kuliner tersebut murni berasal dari Bandung, termasuk ramen. Di Bandung, restoran ramen semakin banyak. Diantaranya yang terkenal adalah Jigoku Ramen, Mie Reman, Ramen House, Nobu Ramen, Udin Ramen, Shifu Ramen, Ramen Cemen, Kuma Ramen, hingga yang dijual di restoran Jepang umum seperti Gokkana Tepan, Suki Soba Restaurant dan Marugame Udon. Berdasarkan observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan studi literatur terhadap sejumlah restoran ramen di Bandung, maka dapat diperoleh simpulan bahwa â€œRamen Bandungâ€ mempunyai pertimbangannya sendiri dalam hal citarasa, terkait dengan selera masyarakat di Kota Bandung pada umumnya yang tidak mengonsumsi daging babi dan tidak terlalu bisa menyesuaikan diri dengan rasa makanan Jepang yang asli. Sehingga dibuat berbagai variasi yang menjauhi rasa â€œramen Jepangâ€ yang asli. Selain itu, â€œRamen Bandungâ€ mempertahankan hibriditas dalam persoalan estetika restoran dan nama-nama pada menu, dengan cara mempertahankan aspek ke-Jepang-an. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa hal-hal terkait Jepang, di mata masyarakat Kota Bandung, masih merupakan hal yang tinggi, menarik, sekaligus juga berkarakter. Secara estetika, masyarakat tidak perlu bersusah payah untuk mengenali sebuah unsur kebudayaan yang berasal dari Jepang

Islamic Perspective on Existence of Sports Value
Authors: Haetami Mimi
Published: March 2020

Islam, in the view of several nations, especially the western orientalists, who regard Islam as a barrier in the mission of civilization, especially secularist ideologies, have succeeded in trapping Muslim societies into the wrong paradigm in the implementation or practice of religion. This ideology makes a dichotomy in thought for adherents of Islamic teachings by providing an understanding of the separation of the principle of life between the world and the hereafter, general knowledge with religious knowledge, between the physical and spiritual realm. Even though the two are a unified whole and inseparable. Because the presence of religion is a refinement in all dimensions of human life. The formation of a mindset that for someone who wants to succeed in his life, then there is no need to run a world case. Vice versa. Though both are running in balance and together. Al-Quran gives a clear picture, even has become a prayer in daily life as written; "Robbanaa aatina fiddunya hasanah, wafi aahiroti hasanah, waqinaa adzaa bannar" [O Lord, we give goodness to the world and the hereafter and save us from painful adzab]. In connection with the foregoing, sport, which is part of the secularist insulating solution from the point of view of values, is the philosophy of life of every human being.
Computational Prediction of Mutational Effects on the SARS-CoV-2 Binding by Relative Free Energy Calculations
Authors: Zou Junjie , Yin Jian , Fang Lei , Yang Mingjun , Wang Tianyuan , Wu Weikun , Zhang Peiyu
Published: March 2020

The ability of coronaviruses to infect humans is invariably associated with their binding strengths to human receptor proteins. Both SARS-CoV-2, initially named 2019-nCoV, and SARS-CoV were reported to utilize angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as an entry receptor in human cells. To better understand the interplay between SARS-CoV-2 and ACE2, we performed computational alanine scanning mutagenesis on the “hotspot” residues at protein-protein interfaces using relative free energy calculations. Our data suggest that the mutations in SARS-CoV-2 lead to a greater binding affinity relative to SARS-CoV. In addition, our free energy calculations provide insight into the infectious ability of viruses on a physical basis, and also provide useful information for the design of antiviral drugs.

Published: March 2020

As an alternative to rechargeable batteries, pseudocapacitors feature high power density, fast charge – discharge kinetics and long cycling stability for energy storage. Compositional modification by redox site enrichment is an effective strategy to increase the energy density and enhance the Faradaic reactions of pseudocapacitive materials. Transition metal layered double hydroxides (TM-LDHs) feature a layered structure and modifiable transition metal content for pseudocapacitive energy storage. In an earlier report, we demonstrated that for NiAl-LDH materials increase of Ni/Al ratio leads to expanded van der Waals (vdW) gap enabling fast charge– discharge kinetics, degraded crystallinity, and retention of 2D layered structure featuring high cycling stability. Here, coupling near-room temperature acid solution calorimetry, in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), we find that as the Ni/Al ratio increases, both as-made (hydrated) and dehydrated NiAl- LDH samples tend to be less stable evidenced by experimentally measured enthalpies of formation. Moreover, the higher specific capacity of NiAl-LDH-3 (2128 F/g at 1 A/g) is enabled by effective hydration which energetically stabilizes the near-surface Ni redox sites, solvates intercalated carbonate ions, and fills the expanded vdW gap (interlayer space). In other words, for NiAl-LDH, water – LDH interactions pay for the “energetic cost” of being “redox site rich”. Thus, from a thermodynamic perspective this work points out a strategy to introduce and energetically stabilize the redox sites in TM-LDHs through interfacial engineering for pseudocapacitive energy storage performance enhancement, in which other species, including solid state guests may be introduced into the interlayer gallery.
Introduction of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid into the Bloodstream to Negate NMDA Receptor Hypofunction Induced by Delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol
Authors: Abdul Jebriel , Zeggil Maxwell J. , Yan Max L.
Published: March 2020

Glutamate is the most abundant neurotransmitter found in the brain, controlling fast signalling throughout all sections and being especially involved in memory recollection and learning. Long-Term Potentiation (LTP) is the strengthening of neural connections through receptor synthesis over consistent usage, first triggered by synapse activation by a small amount of glutamate. However, in heavy (prolonged instance of exposure) and habitual users of cannabis, the effects of LTP are exacerbated by N-methyl-D-Aspartic Acid (NMDA) Receptor Hypofunction (NRHypo) which in turn affects memory, learning, reasoning and other aspects of one’s function. Emerging evidence has associated the inhibition of long-term potentiation by Delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (D9-THC) activating presynaptic Cannabinoid Receptor Type 1 (CB1) receptors to the inhibition of the ability to stop production of glutamate (GLU). An excess of glutamate will overstimulate the postsynaptic NMDA and α-Amino-3-Hydroxy-5-Methyl-4-Isoxazolepropionic Acid (AMPA) receptors in the neurons commonly in the hippocampus, basal ganglia, and prefrontal cortex, which allow excessive influx of calcium Ca2+ ions, causing neurotoxic conditions. Glutamate Decarboxylase 67 molecule has been shown bind in high concentrations with GLU and lower the harmful effects of D9-THC on the brain by converting GLU to Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter. GAD67 will be distributed to mice in this proposed experiment and the behaviour of the mice will be monitored. D9-THC affected, D9-THC and GAD67 affected, and normal mice will be subjected to behavioral interaction and maze tests which will show differences in their learning, spatial awareness and orientation, and reasoning abilities. Chemical analysis of cerebral fluid and brain slices will determine chemical concentrations of GAD67 and D9-THC in the brain. Using direct injections into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and bloodstream in mouse models, our aim is to determine the selectivity of the blood brain barrier (BBB) to enzymes such as GAD67 via both channels as well as assess the interaction GAD67 has with cascading neurological effects caused by NRHypo and LTP.
Rzeczywistość chaotyczna w Kosmosie Witolda Gombrowicza i Śledztwie Stanisława Lema
Authors: Kochanowski Marcin
Published: March 2020

W artykule dokonuję porównania powieści Witolda Gombrowicza Kosmos oraz Stanisława Lema Śledztwo, wskazując na ich podobieństwo w ukazaniu filozoficznego problemu konfrontacji jednostki z chaosem stanowiącym fundament rzeczywistości.Uznając, iż oba dzieła poza elementami czysto literackimi zawierają w sobie refleksję natury filozoficznej, poddaję je szczegółowej analizie w powyższym zakresie, ustalając, iż zarówno Śledztwo, jak i Kosmos odwołują się do problematyki przypadku i chaosu w kształcie, jaki nadawała jej filozofia egzystencjalna. Oba utwory prezentują w warstwie fabularnej proces, który mając początkowo na celu wyjaśnienie przyczyn pojedynczego fenomenu, ostatecznie prowadzi do odkrycia braku zasady wyjaśniającej nie tylko ów fenomen, ale także porządkującej całą rzeczywistość – bohaterowie obu powieści zostają skonfrontowani z chaosem pojedynczych i indywidualnych elementów, wchodzących ze sobą w całkowicie przypadkowe i przygodne relacje, tworzące jedynie pozór istnienia jakiegokolwiek ładu. W ten sposób obie powieści stanowią przybrane w formę powieści traktaty filozoficzne zawierające podobną jeśli chodzi o ostateczne wnioski koncepcję metafizyczną, podejmującą próbę określenia tego, co stanowi uniwersalny fundament otaczającej rzeczywistości.

Published: March 2020

We collected historical control data derived from pretreatment ophthalmologic examinations of young (4 to 7 wk of age) Sprague–Dawley (Crl:CD[SD]) male, (2033, 42 lots) and female (1322, 32 lots) rats used in toxicity studies at our facility from 2004 through 2015. Ophthalmologic
examination of male and female rats by using a binocular indirect ophthalmoscope and slit lamp revealed high incidences of corneal opacity (61% and 60%, respectively), lenticular opacity (43% and 47%), persistent hyaloid artery (21% and 17%), and retinal folds (27% and 27%). All other ocular
abnormalities of the globe, conjunctiva, cornea, anterior chamber, lens, iris, vitreous, and choroid or retina occurred at incidences of less than 5%. Corneal opacities were localized mainly in the corneal nasal (38% and 37%) and paracentral (32% and 33%) areas, and lenticular opacities predominantly
occurred in the nuclear area (31% and 34%). We then compared the incidences of spontaneous ocular abnormalities between the first (2004 through 2009) and second (2010 through 2015) 6-y periods. Corneal opacity and persistent hyaloid artery in male and female rats occurred more frequently during
the second 6-y than during the first (corneal opacity, second period: male, 68%; female, 66%; corneal opacity, first period: 49% and 51%; persistent artery, second period, 26% and 23%; persistent artery, first period; 12% and 10%). These results support the importance of updating historical
control data regularly and providing useful information for toxicologists and ophthalmologists to differentiate treatment-related changes from spontaneous lesions.
Wind and Rain Losses for Metal-clad Contemporary Houses Subjected to Non-cyclonic Windstorms
Authors: Qin Hao
Published: March 2020

Severe windstorms cause millions in losses annually for housing in Southeast Australia that has more than half of Australia’s population. The risk assessment for housing in these non-cyclonic regions is the key to assessing the cost-effectiveness of relevant wind mitigation measures to reduce the economic losses. This study develops a probabilistic risk assessment framework to evaluate the wind and rain losses for Australian contemporary houses subjected to non-cyclonic windstorms, which integrates the hazard modelling for extreme wind and associated rainfall, reliability-based wind damage assessment, rainwater intrusion evaluation and economic loss modelling. The risk analysis was conducted for metal-clad contemporary houses in Brisbane and Melbourne. It was found that damage to building interior and contents 18 caused by rainwater intrusion associated with extreme winds is the major contributor to the annual expected economic losses, and houses in Brisbane are generally subjected to higher losses than houses in Melbourne.
Climbing Bloom's Taxonomy With Jupyter Notebooks: Experiences In Mechanical Engineering
Authors: Weber Bryan W.
Published: March 2020

Active learning techniques are well known to improve student outcomes and shift their thinking higher on Bloom’s Taxonomy. In this paper, I will present experiences from my implementation of active learning in sophomore-level Mechanical Engineering thermodynamics classes using Jupyter Notebooks. Jupyter Notebooks are a web-based programming environment widely used in software and other industries that allows students to combine code with equations and explanations of their work. By using this software to solve open-ended design problems, students move from the Remember, Comprehend, and Apply steps of Bloom’s Taxonomy to the Analyze, Synthesize, and Evaluate stages. Successfully integrating Jupyter Notebooks with these classes has required a shift in the focus of contact hours, going from didactic presentation of material to active practice with problem-solving techniques; most class material has been moved online. This approach has been successfully implemented over several semesters, but there are nonetheless still improvements to be made, which are discussed at the end of the manuscript.
“Is Rhapsody in Blue in the Public Domain?”: Copyright Knowledge of U.S. Music Librarians
Authors: Schultz Teresa , Hunsaker Amy
Published: March 2020

Although several studies have looked at the perceived level of copyright knowledge among various types of librarians, none have looked at the actual copyright knowledge of U.S. music librarians. This project used a survey with two parts: The first asked music librarians about their perceived knowledge of copyright law, and the second included a copyright quiz of 13 questions. Seventy nine music librarians completed the entire survey, and results show no clear connection between perceived and actual knowledge of copyright. The results have implications for future training of music librarians in copyright issues. This is the accepted version of the article.
Mental disorders and risk of suicide attempt in prisoners
Authors: Favril Louis
Published: March 2020

Background: Mental disorders are overrepresented in prisoners, placing them at an increased risk of suicide. Advancing our understanding of how different mental disorders relate to distinct stages of the suicidal process—the transition from ideation to action—would provide valuable information for clinical risk assessment in this high-risk population. Methods: Data were drawn from a representative sample of 1212 adults (1093 men) incarcerated across 13 New Zealand prisons, accounting for 14% of the national prison population. Guided by an ideation-to-action framework, three mutually exclusive groups of participants were compared on the presence of mental disorders assessed by validated DSM-IV diagnostic criteria: prisoners without any suicidal history (controls; n = 778), prisoners who thought about suicide but never made a suicide attempt (ideators; n = 187), and prisoners who experienced suicidal ideation and acted on such thoughts (attempters; n = 247). Results: One-third (34.6%) of participants reported a lifetime history of suicidal ideation, of whom 55.6% attempted suicide (19.2% of all prisoners). Suicidal outcomes in the absence of mental disorders were rare. Whilst each disorder increased the odds of suicidal ideation (OR range 1.73–4.13) and suicide attempt (OR range 1.82–4.05) in the total sample (n = 1212), only a select subset of disorders was associated with suicide attempt among those with suicidal ideation (n = 434). Drug dependence (OR = 1.65, 95% CI 1.10-2.48), alcohol dependence (OR = 1.89, 95% CI 1.26-2.85), and posttraumatic stress disorder (OR = 2.09, 95% CI 1.37-3.17) distinguished attempters from ideators. Conclusion: Consistent with many epidemiological studies in the general population, our data suggest that most mental disorders are best conceptualized as risk factors for suicidal ideation rather than for suicide attempt. Once prisoners consider suicide, other biopsychosocial factors beyond the mere presence of mental disorders may account for the progression from thoughts to acts of suicide.
Predominant qualities evoked by quinine, sucrose, and capsaicin associate with PROP bitterness, but not TAS2R38 genotype
Authors: Nolden Alissa Allen , McGeary John E. , Hayes John
Published: March 2020

Genetic variability in the ability to taste thiourea compounds has been studied for 80+ years. Over the last 3 decades, many studies have reported perceived intensity of concentrated propylthiouracil (PROP) associates with greater intensity from a broad range of stimuli, including non-bitter tastants, irritants, and retronasally delivered odorants. Thus, PROP phenotype has become a common measure of individual differences in orosensensation. Much, but not all, of the phenotypic variation in PROP bitterness is explained by TAS2R38 polymorphisms. While differences in PROP bitterness are clearly due to genetic variation, mechanistically it is challenging to envision how this receptor (narrowly tuned to the N–C=S moiety) relates to overall orosensory response. Here, we report data for 200+ individuals who had been genotyped for TAS2R38 and phenotyped for PROP in laboratory setting. Participants also reported the intensity of quinine, capsaicin, and sucrose on a general Labeled Magnitude Scale. Our data recapitulate earlier reports associating PROP bitterness with the intensity of the predominant qualities of sucrose, quinine, and capsaicin; however, we also find correlations between the intensities of sucrose, quinine, and capsaicin were much stronger with each other than with PROP. As expected, TAS2R38 diplotype did not associate with the intensity of sucrose, quinine, or capsaicin. The strength of PROP-capsaicin and PROP-sucrose relationships increased after grouping participants by TAS2R38 diplotype, with the greatest increases in association observed within homozygotes. Collectively, this suggests the suprathreshold intensity of PROP is a confounded phenotype that captures both genetic variation specific to N–C=S compounds and overall orosensation.
Adaptive Rewiring in Non-Uniform Coupled Oscillators
Authors: Haqiqatkhah MohammadHossein Manuel , van Leeuwen Cees
Published: March 2020

Structural plasticity of the brain can be represented in a highly simplified form as adaptive rewiring, the relay of connections according to the spontaneous dynamic synchronization in network activity. Adaptive rewiring, over time, leads from initial random networks to brain-like complex networks, i.e., networks with modular small-world structures and a rich-club effect. Adaptive rewiring has only been studied, however, in networks of identical oscillators with uniform or random coupling strengths. To implement information processing functions (e.g., stimulus selection or memory storage), it is necessary to consider symmetry-breaking perturbations of oscillator amplitudes and coupling strengths. We studied whether non-uniformities in amplitude or connection strength could operate in tandem with adaptive rewiring. Throughout network evolution, either amplitude or connection strength of a subset of oscillators was kept different from the rest. In these extreme conditions, subsets might become isolated from the rest of the network or otherwise interfere with the development of network complexity. However, whereas these subsets form distinctive structural and functional communities, they generally maintain connectivity with the rest of the network and allow the development of network complexity. Pathological development was observed only in a small proportion of the models. These results suggest that adaptive rewiring can robustly operate alongside information processing in biological and artificial neural networks.
THE RELATION BETWEEN LIBRARIAN ANXIETY, TECHNOSTRESS AND THE IMPOSTOR PHENOMENON IN ACADEMIC LIBRARIANS
Authors: Fourie Danville
Published: March 2020

This dissertation joins previous studies on librarian anxiety, technostress, and the impostor phenomenon. This study seeks if there is a relationship between librarian anxiety and technostress, and whether academic librarians at the Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) in the United Arab Emirates are stress or anxious due to the rapid development of technology. The study further seeks if the academic librarians display tendencies of the impostor phenomenon. Twenty-three academic librarians and library workers took part in the online survey. Fourteen female and nine male participants complete the online survey. The findings of the study revealed that the academic librarians at the HCT Libraries workday involve much use of technology. The academic librarians also indicates that technology usage creates minor anxiety, even when technology used in front of peers and colleges. The respondents continue to score low on the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS), indicating that academic librarians display minor characteristics of impostor tendencies.

Authors: Safaningrum Anggi Cecilia , Keast Stephen
Published: March 2020

In this study, two classes of General Science Teaching Method preservice secondary teachers at Monash University (n = 38 in 2007 and n = 34 in 2008) developed Slowmation movies as part of their course work, then introduced Slowmation into the their science classrooms during their school practicum. On returning to university following their practicum these preservice teachers shared the Slowmations created by their students during the practicum, and discussed the impact of introducing this procedure on their students’ learning about science concepts. The classroom presentations and discussions of school students’ Slowmation movies post practicum provided valuable feedback to the preservice teachers about their teaching and their students’ learning. The data illustrated that these preservice teachers became aware of a range of conceptions held by their learners about particular science concepts through their students’ Slowmation movies and in so doing, influenced their understanding of science teaching and learning.
Manajemen : Sejarah Dan Penerapannya Dalam Dakwah
Authors: Basri Hasan
Published: March 2020

Fokus pembicaraan dalam tulisan ini adalah posisi manajemen dalam pandangan Islam, baik pada aspek sejarah maupun prakteknya. Inti aktivitas manajemen sesungguhnya terletak pada upaya pengelolaan kerja sama beberapa orang untuk mencapai tujuan tertentu. Manajemen lebih bersifat seni mengelola dari pada ilmu. Dalam banyak literatur, manajemen dalam Islam kadang disebut al-idārah, al-tadbīr, al-niẓām, dan al-‘imārah. Dalam pengertian ini, manajemen lebih bersifat praktis dari pada teoretis. Secara praktis, manajemen telah dipraktekkan sejak Nabi Adam as. bersama keluarganya, dilanjutkan oleh para Nabi sesudahnya sampai datangnya Nabi Muhammad Saw., sebagai penyempurna Islam. Di zaman Islam, manajemen dipraktekkan dalam kerangka pelaksanaan Islam secara umum sebagai sistem kehidupan, pemerintahan dan pengembangan peradaban.  Tulisan ini merupakan ramuan dari berbagai literatur. Kajian ini menyajikan fakta historis kegemilangan Islam dalam sisi pengelolaan kehidupan kaum muslimin secara kolektif. Bentang panjang sejarah keemasan Islam membuktikan bahwa pengelolaan kehidupan kaum muslimin tertata sempurna termasuk dalam bidang pengelolaan dan manajemen dakwah.Dalam perspektif Islam, pengelolaan kerja sama apapun sebagai suatu kegiatan manajemen menempati posisi sebagai pengaturan aktivitas dan interaksi yang mesti terikat dengan ketentuan ajaran Islam. Ketentuan-ketentuan yang diisyaratkan oleh al-Qur’an terkait manajemen adalah berbasis pada aqidah Islam yang mengajarkan keterhubungan manusia dengan penciptanya ketika melakukan aktivitas apapun. Keterhubungan dengan Allah secara mutlak akan menghasilkan pribadi yang memiliki sikap moral dan integritas pribadi para pelaksana manajemen, mengutamakan ketulusan, keikhlasan, kejujuran, amanah, serta pelayanan yang cepat dan komunikatif. Penekanan pada adanya pribadi yang menjadikan Islam sebagai dasar aktivitasnya akan menjadikan manajemen kelembagaan apapun berjalan baik sesuai dengan tujuan yang ingin dicapai.Kata kunci: Manajemen, Manajemen dalam Islam.

Published: March 2020

Abstract: A group of Indigenous health and social service evaluators called the “Three Ribbon” panel came together in Toronto in 2015/16 with the goal of informing a set of evidence-based guidelines for urban Indigenous health and social service and program evaluation. The collective knowledge and experiences of the Three Ribbon panel was gathered through discussion circles and synthesized around the following areas: barriers to conducting Indigenous health and social service evaluation; decolonizing principles and protocols that support community self-determination and centralize Indigenous culture and worldviews; and guidelines to inform health and social service evaluation moving forward. The wisdom and contributions of the Three Ribbon Panel creates space for Indigenous worldviews, values, and beliefs within program evaluation practice and has important implications for evaluation research and application.

Kurzfassung

Damit Industrie-4.0-Ansätze in der Produktionsplanung und -steuerung ihre Wirkung voll entfalten, müssen sie in der industriellen Praxis an den richtigen Stellen einen entsprechenden Nutzen stiften. Dies bedeutet, dass die Industrie-4.0-Ansätze auf die heute vorliegenden Hindernisse bei der Erreichung logistischer Ziele ausgerichtet sind und bei der Auflösung dieser Hindernisse tatsächliche Nutzeneffekte erzielen. Vor diesem Hintergrund haben die Autoren Industrieunternehmen in Deutschland befragt, welche Hindernisse bei ihnen heute im Hinblick auf die Erreichung logistischer Ziele vorliegen und welche Nutzeneffekte sowie Lösungsmöglichkeiten sie sich diesbezüglich von Industrie-4.0-Ansätzen versprechen. Dieser Beitrag fasst die wesentlichen Erkenntnisse und Schlussfolgerungen der Studie zusammen.

The industry's interest in additively manufactured components is steadily growing. Against the background of an increased understanding of the static characteristic values, the focus is now moving towards the dynamic strengths. Hence, the parameters influencing the service life and potential post-processing methods are investigated and analyzed. In this context, a significant impact can be attributed to the surface quality and notch effects caused by roughness depths. Different methods to improve the surface quality are therefore investigated. The following methods and their effect on the surface quality and hardness are examined: laser polishing, electrochemical polishing, and shot peening. In the electrochemical polishing process, the samples are polished in perchloric acid for 90 s at 32 V and at a maximum of 10 A. Shot peening is performed using UFS 100 peening material at a pressure of 4 bar for a peening time of 10 s. A rotating bending test is subsequently performed and Wöhler curves are created for the different conditions and compared to reference values from analyzed conventional samples. Furthermore, the fracture surfaces are analyzed. The examinations revealed a great potential for optimization of the additively manufactured samples, when the surface is compressed and the surface layer is removed by machining. In this manner, higher fatigue strengths could be achieved than with conventionally manufactured samples.

New fields of application, such as electromobility, place ever increasing demands on lithium-ion batteries in terms of quality and safety. In-line methods currently used for assessing the quality of the electrode foils in lithium-ion cells in the manufacturing process hardly allow any statements on quality-related microstructural features and are often limited in terms of precision and spatial resolution. This is particularly true for electrodes containing several different active materials (so-called material blends or blended cathodes). Not only their layer thickness and porosity, but also the distribution of the active materials within the electrode is crucial for the quality of the electrode.

The active material distribution can be determined with several methods which differ, for example, in terms of precision, required effort, and spatial resolution. This work presents and evaluates common analytical methods – light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray analysis, as well as X-ray diffraction – for the determination of phase fractions with the aid of reference samples. Alongside the precision, criteria such as the sample preparation and measurement effort or the spatial resolution are considered.

Published: March 2020

Background: Inhibitors of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) have potential therapeutic value in gastric
cancer. We investigated PD-L1 expression patterns in paired biopsy and resection specimens.
Patients and Methods: Thirty-nine formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded paired samples were assessed using
PD-L1 22C3 pharmDx immunohistochemistry technique. Combined positive score (CPS) was calculated as
the ratio of PD-L1 stained cells (tumor cells, lymphocytes, and macrophages) to the total number of viable
tumor cells, multiplied by 100. The CPS ≥1 indicated PD-L1 positivity.
Results: PD-L1 positivity was evident for 33 (84.6%) of 39 resection cases; all displayed low positivity
(1≤CPS<50). Only 10 (30.3%) of 33 positive cases in the resection specimens had simultaneous PD-L1
positivity in the paired biopsy specimens; two cases displayed high positivity (CPS 50 and 70) and eight
displayed low positivity (1≤CPS≤50). Among the 29 negative cases with biopsy specimens, 23 (79.3%)
displayed PD-L1 low positivity in the paired resection specimens and only six had concordant negativity in
both specimens with poor agreement (concordance rate 41.0%, k value = 0.118, correlation coefficient
0.234; p=0.152). All the high microsatellite instability cases had concordant PD-L1 positivity in resection
and biopsy specimens.
Conclusions: There was relatively poor agreement of PD-L1 expression between biopsy and resected tumor
specimens. The biopsy specimens underestimated the PD-L1 status observed for the total resected samples.
This indicates the necessity of obtaining multiple biopsies from different areas of the tumor to enhance the
validity and reliability of PD-L1 analysis.

Ovarian neoplasms are among the most common in the female genital tract and often have delayed
diagnosis. Tumor progression involves signalling proteins called galectins. The aim of the present study
was to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of galectins “1”, “3” and “9” in the ovarian surface
epithelial neoplasia. A retrospective study involving 62 ovarian epithelial tumors (benign and non-benign)
was performed with immunohistochemical polymer technique and antibodies against galectin “1”, “3” and
“9”. Expression in epithelium and stroma was analysed semi-quantitatively. Fisher’s exact test was
performed for statistical analysis. Galectin-“1” and “3” were strongly expressed in non-benign tumors of
the epithelium. Non-benign neoplasms showed increased stromal expression of galectin-1 and increased
epithelial expression of galectin-“3”. The significant increase in expression of galectin-1 and -3 in the
epithelium of non- benign ovarian neoplasms suggests the participation of these galectins in ovarian
carcinogenesis. We observed increased stromal expression of galectin-“1” and epithelial expression of
galectin-“3” in non-benign ovarian neoplasms. These findings contribute to knowledge about the role of
these galectins in the growth and spread of ovarian cancer.

Bài báo này đánh giá khả năng chịu nén của bê tông sử dụng cát biển ở Phú Quốc, Kiên Giang trong các điều kiện bảo dưỡng khác nhau. Tổng cộng 180 mẫu lập phương đã được đúc và thí nghiệm nén. Hai loại cấp phối bê tông được khảo sát là mác 200 (M200) và mác 300 (M300). Hàm lượng cát biển thay thế cát sông trong bê tông thay đổi 0, 50 và 100%. Các mẫu bê tông được ngâm trong nước ngọt và nước mặn với các thời gian bảo dưỡng là 7, 14, 28, 56 và 84 ngày. Kết quả thí nghiệm cho thấy cường độ chịu nén của bê tông sử dụng cát biển tăng nhanh khi bảo dưỡng từ 7 ngày đến 28 ngày nhưng tăng chậm hơn từ sau 28 ngày đến 84 ngày. Trong ba hàm lượng cát biển thay thế cát sông trong bê tông 0, 50 và 100% thì các mẫu có hàm lượng cát biển thay thế cát sông trong bê tông 100% có cường độ nén lớn nhất so với các mẫu có hàm lượng cát biển thay thế khác tại các thời gian bảo dưỡng bao gồm 7, 14, 28 và 56 ngày, trong khi các mẫu có hàm lượng cát biển thay thế cát sông trong bê tông 50% có cường độ nén lớn nhất tại 84 ngày. Khi thay thế 100% cát sông bằng cát biển thì cường độ chịu nén của bê tông tăng từ 2% đến 35%. Hầu hết các mẫu bảo dưỡng trong nước ngọt đều có cường độ chịu nén lớn hơn từ 2% đến 34% trong nước mặn.
