Authors: Maksum Maksum , Himmawan Didik , Rufaedah Evi Aeni
Published: February 2024

Kegiatan Bimbingan dan Konseling telah dilakukan oleh berbagai pendekatan beberapa tokoh terlebih di Indonesia yang masih menganut teori barat, melalui metode dan teknik yang digunakan juga setiap saat selalu disempurnakan tapi hingga saat ini belum memberikan hasil yang optimal, bahkan penyimpangan manusia dari fitrah semakin jauh, kegagalan ini diduga berakar pada keterbatasan pengetahuan para ahli tentang esensi fitrah manusia dan model pengembangannya. Pendekatan model Bimbingan dan Konseling bernuansa Islami yang telah ditulis Anwar Sutoyo dalam bukunya yang berjudul Bimbingan dan Konseling Islami yang membuat peneliti tertarik untuk membahas melalui pendekatan dasar mengenai hakikat manusia dan pengembangan fitrah manusia dengan diaktualisasikan melalui nilai-nilai yang positif sesuai Al-Qur’an Hadits. Berdsarkan realitas di atas, peneliti berusaha untuk mengali lebih dalam mengenai fitrah manusia dengan penelitian ini, peneliti dapat merumuskan masalah yang akan dikaji dalam penyusunan skripsi ini. Pertama, bagaimana pengembangan fitrah dalam konsep bimbingan konseling Islam menurut Anwar Sutoyo? Kedua, bagaimana bimbingan konseling dalam perspektif Islam menurut Anwar Sutoyo? Penelitian ini bertujuan pertama untuk memahami pengembangan fitrah dalam konsep bimbingan konseling Islam menurut Anwar Sutoyo, kedua untuk memahami bimbingan konselng dalam prespektif Islam menurut Anwar Sutoyo. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian kepustakaan atau library research dan studi pemikiran tokoh. Data yang diperoleh melalui 2 cara, dikumpulkannya karya tokoh yang diteliti, ditelusuri karya-karya orang lain. Data yang sudah diperoleh kemudian dianalisis dengan teknis deskriptif , interpretasi dan induksi. Adapun kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah  menjelaskan bahwa individu yang dibimbing diharapkan mampu menjadi pribadi yang baik melalui perawatan fitrah dan secara bertahap mampu mengaktualisasikan apa yang diimaninya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, Melalui keyakinan itu, individu yang mampu melaksanakan berarti telah mampu mengambangkan fitrahnya dengan baik sehingga menjadi hamba yang bertakwa kepada Allah SWT. Adapun pendapat yang dikemukakan Anwar Sutoyo bahwa konseling Islami adalah aktivitas yang bersifat membantu, karena pada hakikatnya individulah yang perlu hidup sesuai tuntunan Allah agar mereka selamat.

Published: February 2024

European elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.) fruits constitute a valuable source of biologically active compounds useful in the pharmaceutical industry. We aimed to determine the content of chosen polyphenolic compounds in fruit extracts from four cultivars of elderberry (Alleso, Korsor, Sampo, Samyl) and their relation to antibacterial and antifungal activity. The content of polyphenols was determined with the use of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), while antimicrobial activity, including minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal (MBC) or fungicidal (MFC) concentration, was studied with the use of microbroth dilution method. HPLC analysis revealed the presence of concentrations of cyanidin glycosides, caffeic and quercetin derivatives depending on the plant cultivar. The extracts exhibited the highest antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus spp. (MIC = 0.313 – 0.625 mg/mL) and Helicobacter pylori (MIC = 0.313 – 1.25 mg/mL) and antifungal against Candida albicans and C. parapsilosis (MIC = 0.313 – 2.5 mg/mL). Results showed that the concentration of cyanidin glycosides, caffeic and quercetin derivatives depended on the analyzed S. nigra L. cultivar and pointed towards a correlation between their high content and antimicrobial activity. These results support the idea that elderberry fruits contain bioactive compounds providing them significant antimicrobial potential.
Emollients with natural emulsifier Olivem 1000 as topical formulations for urea or sodium hyaluronate
Authors: Wróblewska Magdalena , Winnicka Katarzyna
Published: February 2024

Xerosis is one of the common dermatological problems. Preparations recommended for daily care of the dry skin are emollients. Emollient preparations demonstrate a moisturizing effect, they soften and smoothen the skin, keep water in the epidermis, supplement lipids of skin upper layers and protect from external harmful agents. The purpose of this study was to develop and characterize emollients containing natural emulsifier Olivem 1000 as topical delivery systems for urea or sodium hialuronate. Physicochemical and mechanical properties of designed formulations were evaluated. Moreover, ex vivo adhesion study on the hairless mice skin as a model of adhesive layer was carried out and in vivo preliminary assessment of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) was performed. Prepared emollient formulations were characterized by smooth consistency, they were easily spreadable on the skin surface and showed no phase separation. Formulations containing xanthan gum as a thickening agent were characterized by higher viscosity, hardness, cohesiveness and adhesiveness values. Prepared emollients showed thixotropic properties and they were classified as non-Newtonian shear thinning systems. All prepared emollients demonstrated bioadhesive properties. The analysis of TEWL showed that the greatest decrease in the TEWL value was noted in the case of emollient containing sodium hyaluronate which was applied to the person with the skin described as “the skin in a very poor condition”. The results of the conducted research indicate that developed emollients containing natural emulsifier Olivem 1000 seem to be a promising form of care preparations for topical use in case of chronic dryness of the skin.

An efficient algorithm for areal morphological filter
Authors: Grigoriev S. N. , Zakharov О. V. , Lysenko V. G. , Masterenko D. A.
Published: February 2024

This article discusses morphological filtering for assessing a areal parameters of a texture of engineering products. A data organization structure has been proposed that makes it possible to increase the efficiency of an iterative algorithm for enumerating a surface coordinates. Morphological filters complement the standard Gaussian filter to evaluate the functional properties of a surface. The widespread use of the areal morphological filtering in metrological practice is currently hampered by the lack of an effective algorithm. An algorithm based on a matrix representation of morphological operations on the surface coordinates is presented. For this purpose, different indexing of points on a primary surface and a structuring element has been introduced. A sphere or flat segment is used as the structuring element. The high performance of the developed algorithm is ensured due to the fact that all calculations are carried out by enumerating the surface coordinates in one pass, without nested loops, as in some other algorithms. Algorithms for morphological operations of dilation and erosion are presented, on the basis of which a closing and opening filters are constructed. Simulations carried out for various data sets and comparison with known morphological filtering algorithms confirmed the high efficiency of the designed algorithm. The results obtained can be used to analyze the functional properties of product surfaces.
Measurement of phase modulation time dynamics of liquid crystal spatial light modulator
Authors: Minikhanov T. Z. , Zlokazov E. Yu. , Starikov R. S. , Cheremkhin P. A.
Published: February 2024

Liquid crystal spatial light modulators for precise dynamic manipulation of coherent light fields, used in diffractive optoelectronic optical data processing systems, are considered. This paper presents the results of a study of the temporal dynamics of the HoloEye PLUTO-2 VIS-016 liquid crystal spatial light modulator for analysis of light fields rate modulation. Experiments using binary phase computer generated holograms and binary focusing phase diffractive optical elements were conducted. Based on experimental data, the time characteristics of the modulator response were determined. It was found that when the rise time of the diffraction efficiency was 146 ms after the hologram displaying onto the SLM, and when switching to a new hologram, the decay time was 97 ms. These results allowed the dynamic generation of an alternating holograms at a refresh rate of 2 Hz with an interference level of –16 dB. Increasing the frequency of fringe pattern updates increases the level of interframe noise in the generated holograms, and when updated at the specification frequency, the generated distributions cannot be separated. Determining the actual frame rate based on the rise and decay times of the diffraction efficiency makes it possible to correctly calculate the minimum operating time of an information optical system containing a liquid crystal spatial light modulator.
Harmonic distortion calibrator: additional uncertainty due to distortion in the measurement cable
Authors: Bezdenezhnykh S. V. , Stal’nova K. A.
Published: February 2024

The role of measuring instruments of the reference level (working standards of the 1st and 2nd digits) in ensuring the uniformity of measurements of the harmonic coefficient is considered, namely, the transfer of a unit of the harmonic coefficient from the primary standard to all measuring instruments from a huge fleet of working measuring instruments. A continuous search for ways to reduce the error of these measuring instruments is required. The methods of reducing one of the components of the measurement error of the reference level – an additional error caused by distortions in the measuring cable due to a mismatch of the resistances at the output of the calibrator and the input of the meter – are investigated. Until recently, the influence of measuring cable parameters on the results of harmonic coefficient measurements was considered negligible, because harmonic coefficient measuring instruments operate at sufficiently low frequencies (less than 1 MHz). However, for modern reference-level measuring instruments, such an influence has become noticeable, and it needs to be investigated. It has been shown that for calibrators with a large (600 Ohm) output impedance, significantly exceeding the characteristic impedance of the measuring cable, this error can be significant. An analytical dependence of the indicated error on the parameters of the measuring cable and the calibrator signal, as well as the output resistance of the calibrator, is derived. Conditions have been established under which this additional error is absent or can be neglected due to its smallness. When checking harmonic coefficient measuring instruments, a measuring cable 1 m long with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms is most often used. For a cable with such parameters and different values of the output resistance of the calibrator, the indicated additional error was theoretically calculated and experimentally evaluated. For a signal with a fundamental frequency of 200 kHz and a uniformly decreasing distribution of harmonic levels with a calibrator output impedance of 600 Ohms, the additional absolute error in generating a harmonic distortion equal to 100 % is 3 %. The use of factory correction for the total error in the formation of the harmonic distortion coefficient of the manufactured calibrator allows us to reduce the additional error only partially. To significantly minimize the additional error of the calibrator used, it is necessary to use the measuring cable supplied with the calibrator or a cable with identical parameters. The experimental estimate of the additional error is in good agreement with the results of its calculations. It is recommended to take into account the additional absolute error in the formation of the harmonic coefficient when developing and testing instruments for measuring the harmonic coefficient.
Evaluation of a tier 2 internalizing intervention : the resilience education program
Authors:   , Kilpatrick Kayla Deanne
Published: February 2024

The current study intended to evaluate a tier 2 internalizing intervention that was developed for the school setting. The Resilience Education Program (REP) includes five cognitive-behavioral instruction lessons for use in a small group setting to address internalizing concerns such as depressed mood and anxiety. Additionally, REP uses a Check-In/Check-Out reinforcement-based mentorship program for students, in order to address performance and skill deficits in internalizing behavior. An underpowered waitlist randomized controlled trial research design was conducted in which students in grades 4-7 were randomly assigned to treatment or waitlist control groups. Participants' internalizing behavior and proximal outcomes as reported by teacher and self-report measures in the treatment group (N = 21) were compared to participants' outcomes in the waitlist control group (N = 17) while controlling for pre-test measures and demographic variables. Primary findings from MANCOVA analyses indicated that there were not statistically significant differences in youth self-reported or teacher-reported internalizing concerns between the intervention and waitlist group. Despite the lack of statistical significance, main effects were associated with large effect sizes, reflecting the pre-post differences in subscale scores. A large effect size was also found for the proximal intervention outcomes including coping skills, perceived control of one's internal states, and social support, according to intervention status. There were positive findings regarding the acceptability of the REP intervention as a tier 2 intervention to address internalizing risk in the school setting. Limitations and future directions for this area of research are discussed.
"When people push us, it just makes us feel better" : a multi-case exploration of the tools, relationships, and contexts of near-peer mentoring for college
Authors:   , Naughton Meredith
Published: February 2024

This study sought to explore the unique ways near-peer mentors serving in three different public high schools help historically marginalized students address and overcome informational and psychological barriers to college. Through a multiple case-study examination of various mentoring tools, student-mentor relationships, and school contexts, data and analysis indicate near-peer mentors utilized instrumental tools to support student informational needs and relational tools to emotionally support and push students along the complex path to college. This pushing leveraged shared elements of cultural capital for relationship building and attended to student psychological needs to navigate the path to college with emotional support. Mentoring tools expanded on traditional notions of capital to embrace and illustrated the importance of critical forms of capital, especially navigational and aspirational, often necessary for students from low-income, first-generation college, and/or underrepresented minority backgrounds to successfully transition to college. Finally, the social context at each school played an important and overarching role in the way near-peer mentors interacted with students to both support those already positioned as college-bound as well as welcome students exploring or attempting to construct a college-bound identity. As a result, examining the nature and nuances behind individual and collective college-bound figured worlds provided rich insights into existing and new opportunities for expanding access to college-going possibilities to more students.
Paleodemographic modeling in the lower Mississippi River Valley
Authors:   , Alvey Jeffrey Scott
Published: February 2024

The three studies presented below address the relationships that exist between prehistoric population dynamics, settlement organization, climate, and subsistence in the central and lower Mississippi River valley and adjacent uplands, as well as how sampling strategies in archaeology affect the quality of data upon which we model these kinds of relationships. Evidence is provided that demonstrates that long-held commonsensical assumptions about the relationship between maize agriculture and population growth during the Woodland and Mississippi periods are unfounded. Results demonstrate that maize agriculture played little to no role in the region's period of major demographic expansion, which occurred ca. AD 650. The investigation of two episodes of population decline during the Late Archaic and late prehistoric periods reveal that changes in settlement organization associated with the movements of groups from upland to lowland environments, or vice-versa, represent major contributing factors to these episodes. The final study presents findings on the relationship between shovel-testing strategies and the accuracy and usefulness of the models of archaeological occupations that result from the information collected during shovel testing. These results demonstrate that some common approaches to shovel testing lead to faulty models that fail to accurately represent important occupational variables, thus compromising our ability to make valid significance determinations.
Data-driven methods for analyzing ballistocardiograms in longitudinal cardiovascular monitoring
Authors:   , Enayati Moein
Published: February 2024

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the US; about 48 percent of American adults have one or more types of CVD. The importance of continuous monitoring of the older population, for early detection of changes in health conditions, has been shown in the literature, as the key to a successful clinical intervention. We have been investigating environmentally-embedded in-home networks of non-invasive sensing modalities. This dissertation concentrates on the signal processing techniques required for the robust extraction of morphological features from the ballistocardiographs (BCG), and machine learning approaches to utilize these features in non-invasive monitoring of cardiovascular conditions. At first, enhancements in the time domain detection of the cardiac cycle are addressed due to its importance in the estimation of heart rate variability (HRV) and sleep stages. The proposed enhancements in the energy-based algorithm for BCG beat detection have shown at least 50 percent improvement in the root mean square error (RMSE) of the beat to beat heart rate estimations compared to the reference estimations from the electrocardiogram (ECG) R to R intervals. These results are still subject to some errors, primarily due to the contamination of noise and motion artifacts caused by floor vibration, unconstrained subject movements, or even the respiratory activities. Aging, diseases, breathing, and sleep disorders can also affect the quality of estimation as they slightly modify the morphology of the BCG waveform.
The early imperial ceramics as evidence for life at Roman Sardis
Authors:   , Raubolt Elizabeth Deridder
Published: February 2024

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Historical testimonia tell us that in the year 17 CE, an earthquake struck in Western Asia Minor and destroyed the city of Sardis. Recent excavations in the Field 49, Field 55, and Artemis Temple excavation sectors at the site have yielded a small number of closely datable deposits as well as fills containing large quantities of well-preserved ceramics datable to the 1st century. Through a detailed typological study of this material, this dissertation characterizes the common components of the Early Imperial Sardian ceramic assemblage and establishes a typo-chronological framework for this material, which enables us, for the first time, to use the pottery and lamps recovered from the site to illuminate this period in this history of the city.
Playa wetland plant and soil response to predicted climate and land use change in the southern Great Plains
Authors:   , Owen Rachel K.
Published: February 2024

"To assess potential risks to playas in a changing climate, we addressed the following objectives: (1) quantify effects of changing climatic conditions on plant germination and community composition, soil chemistry, greenhouse gas emissions, and microbial community and structure; (2) compare ecosystem response to changing climatic conditions between Northern (Nebraska) and Southern (Texas) playa soils; and (3) assess effects of increased agricultural nitrogen inputs on playa plant communities. The research included four experiments with various temperature, hydroperiod, and nitrogen treatments to simulate climate and land use change projections. In the first study, a temperature-controlled growth chamber experiment was used to evaluate treatment effects on early season germination and growth of Barnyard grass(Echinochloa crusgalli), a common moist-soil playa plant. A six-month greenhouse experiment was conducted to quantify hydroperiod treatment effects on seed bank plant community composition and soil biogeochemical properties. Using soils collected from the six-month greenhouse experiment, an incubation study was conducted to assess greenhouse gas emissions from playa soils under various hydroperiod conditions. Finally, a second greenhouse study was conducted to evaluate the effectof increased N inputs on playa plant community composition."--Page 3.
Pre-service science teachers' beliefs related to teaching and learning with socioscientific issues
Authors:   , Foulk Jamie A.
Published: February 2024

Socioscientific issues (SSI) are the hallmark of a reform-oriented approach to science teaching and learning (Sadler, Foulk, and Friedrichsen, 2017) that foregrounds controversial and unstructured societal challenges with substantive connections to science ideas, as contexts for students' learning about science and its societal implications (Borgerding and Dagistan, 2018; Kolstu, 2006; Owens, Sadler, and Friedrichsen, 2019). Although many K-12 science teachers express support for SSI and its numerous learner benefits (Sadler, 2004; Zeidler, 2014), even teachers who hold this view tend to utilize SSI inconsistently and superficially, if at all (Lee and Witz, 2009; Sadler, Amirshokoohi, Kazempour, and Allspaw, 2006; Saunders and Rennie, 2013). Teachers' practices are essential in facilitating students' reform-oriented learning experiences (Bybee, 1993), and teachers' beliefs are related to their uptake of science education reforms (Fletcher and Luft, 2011). Yet, little is known about the ways beliefs influence teachers' uptake of SSI-based practices. Even less is known about how pre-service teachers' (PST) beliefs influence their adoption of SSI for teaching and learning. To address this gap in understanding I explored PSTs' beliefs about SSI, as they engaged in SSI-focused learning activities and curriculum design, in an SSI-focused methods course built around the SSI teaching and learning (SSI-TL) framework (Sadler et al., 2017). PSTs' beliefs about SSI were influenced by their existing beliefs about science teaching and learning, and PSTs were able to design curricular units consistent with the SSI-TL framework. In this multiple manuscript dissertation, I present details about the SSI-focused methods course, empirical findings, and implications for teacher education and research.
The relations between parenting and prosocial behaviors: mediating roles of moral reasoning and familism in Nicaragua
Authors:   , Gulseven Zehra
Published: February 2024

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study examined the relations between supportive and strict parenting behaviors and adolescents' six types of prosocial behaviors, along with the mediating role of their approval-oriented moral reasoning and familism values among native Spanish-speaking, Latino/a adolescents from Nicaragua. Participants were 265 lower and upper secondary school students (Mage=14.85 years, SD=1.33; 61.5[percent] girls) from a public school in San Marcos, Nicaragua. Overall, there was partial support for the hypothesized indirect effects that showed strict parenting was positively linked to approval oriented moral reasoning, which in turn was positively linked to public prosocial behavior and negatively linked to altruistic prosocial behavior. There was evidence that supportive parenting behavior was positively linked to adolescents' familism values and dire and public prosocial behaviors, and it was negatively linked to approval-oriented moral reasoning. Strict parenting was positively linked to approval-oriented moral reasoning and emotional prosocial behavior. Additionally, familism values were positively linked to compliant and emotional prosocial behaviors, and they were negatively linked to altruistic prosocial behavior. These findings were robust across gender and age groups. This is the first study to explore hypothesized associations in Nicaragua. Findings provide support for the generalizability of the traditional and Latino/a specific models of prosocial behavior and extend our understanding of the socialization of adolescents' prosocial behaviors to a collectivist-oriented, native Spanish-speaking sample of Nicaraguan adolescents.
