Published: July 2018

The aim of the present study was to develop an Antigen Capture ELISA (AC-ELISA) for the diagnosis of avian influenza virus infections. For this purpose, the nucleoprotein (NP) of the virus was captured by a monoclonal antibody (D'C4) and then detected using a rabbit polyclonal antibody. The developed AC-ELISA did not show cross-reaction with other viral and bacterial pathogens of poultry, while it was able to detect H9 serotype of avian influenza virus as well as H1 and H3 types of human influenza viruses. The sensitivity of this AC-ELISA for the detection of an H9 avian influenza virus strain H9N2 (A/Chicken/Iran/AH-1/06) was 10 times greater than a hemagglutination assay and was comparable with the sensitivity of the RT-PCR method. Furthermore, this method could recognize the influenza virus in tracheal swabs of experimentally infected chickens following 3-5 days post-infection. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that the developed AC-ELISA is able to detect H9, H1, and H3 influenza virus serotypes and is sufficiently sensitive and specific for the detection of infections caused by H9 serotype but, its applicability, sensitivity, and specificity for the detection of other serotypes of the virus remain to be determined.Key words: influenza virus A; nucleoprotein; monoclonal antibody; antigen capture ELISA RAZVOJ IN PREIZKUS NOVE METODE ELISA Z UJETJEM PROTITELES ZA ODKRIVANJE VIRUSA INFLUENCE ANamen raziskave je bil razvoj nove metode elisa z ujetjem protiteles za lažje diagnosticiranje okužbe z virusom ptičje influence. Nukleoprotein (NP) virusa smo najprej vezali z monoklonskimi protitelesi D’C4 in nato kompleks nukleoproteina in monoklonskega protitelesa označili s kunčjimi poliklonskimi protitelesi. Ta metoda ni kazala nobene navzkrižne (napačne) reakcije z drugimi virusi ali bakterijami ptičjega porekla, z njo pa smo lahko zaznali prisotnost virusa ptičje influence serotipa H9, pa tudi viruse človeške influence seroptipov H1 in H3. Občutljivost te metode za določanje linije H9N2 (A/Chicken/Iran/AH-1/106) virusa H9 je bila desetkrat višja v primerjavi z metodo hemaglutinacije in je bila primerljiva z občutljivostjo metode RT PCR. Z njo smo virus lahko določili v sapničnih izpirkih že 3 do 5 dni po okužbi poskusno okuženih piščancev. Iz pridobljenih rezultatov sklepamo, da nanovo razvita metoda elisa z ujetjem protiteles lahko zazna serotype H9, H1 in H3 virusa influence pri piščancih in ljudeh. Dokazali smo, da je metoda zanesljiva in zelo občutljiva za zaznavanje okužb s serotipom H9, uporabnost te nove metode za zaznavanje okužb z drugimi serotipi virusov influence pa bomo morali še dokazati.Ključne besede: influenca virus A; nulleoprotein; monoklonska protitelesa; elisa z ujetjem protiteles

Brucellosis in swine was surveyed from 2011 to 2015 in 13 counties in Croatia. A total of 3230 breeding males were tested serologically, and positive reactions were confirmed in 42 (1.3%) males from 17 farms. A total of 641 sows with abortion or reproductive problems were tested, and positive reactions were confirmed in 34 (5.3%). Organs from 68 swine were tested for bacteria, and Brucella spp. was isolated from 47 (69.1%). B. suis was identified in 45 isolates from domestic swine and 2 isolates from wild boar in six counties in Croatia, and all isolates were found to be B. suis biovar 2 based on Bru-up/Bru-low, Bruce-ladder, Suis-ladder and RFLP-based PCR assays. These results indicate that brucellosis is difficult to eradicate in free-range and semi-free-range swine farming, particularly in areas where contact with wild boar is possible. Further disease control measures are required.Key words: Brucella suis biovar 2; swine; abortion; prevalence; CroatiaBRUCELOZA PRAŠIČEV, POVZROČENA Z BAKTERIJO Brucella suis BIOVAR 2 NA HRVAŠKEMBrucelozo pri prašičih smo spremljali od leta 2011 do leta 2015 v 13 hrvaških občinah. S serološko analizo smo preverili prisotnost bruceloze pri 3230 samcih v razplodu. Pozitivne reakcije smo ugotovili pri skupno 42 merjascih s 17 farm, kar predstavlja 1,3 % živali. S serološkimi testi smo preverili prisotnost protiteles proti bruceli tudi pri 641 plemenskih svinjah, ki so zvrgle ali imele težave z zabrejitvijo.

Facilitating Innovation in Interdisciplinary Teams: The Role of Leaders and Integrative Communication
Authors: Salazar Maritza , Lant Theresa
Published: July 2018

Aim/Purpose: The complexity of scientific problems has spurred the development of transdisciplinary science, in which experts are brought together to collaborate across disciplinary and practice boundaries. These knowledge diverse teams can produce novel solutions, but they often fail to achieve their potential.

Background: Leaders have a crucial role to play in enabling effective collaboration among these diverse experts. We propose that a critical predictor of whether a newly formed interdisciplinary team will perform well is the leader’s multidisciplinary breadth of experience, which we define as a leader’s possession of significant experience in multiple areas of research and practice. We suggest that these leaders will have the capability to skillfully manage the interactions within the team.

Methodology: We test our prediction in a sample of 52 newly formed interdisciplinary medical research teams. We also observe and examine the communication patterns in a subset of these teams.

Contribution: There is a lack of systematic study of the impact leaders have on newly formed interdisciplinary science teams whose members have little or no prior collaborative experience with each other, possess specialized knowledge, and have limited overlapping expertise. This study combines quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the effect of leader multidisciplinary experience on team communication patterns and innovation.

Findings: Our study finds that teams are more innovative when their leader has a moderate breadth of multidisciplinary expertise. Exploration of team communication patterns suggests that leaders with moderate multidisciplinary breadth of experience actively stimulated information sharing across expert domains by choosing cross-cutting topics and drew individuals’ attention to the knowledge and approaches of others in the team.

Recommendations for Practitioners: Insights from this work can have practical implications regarding how to best select and train leaders to facilitate cross-boundary collaboration in transdisciplinary science. This study elucidates a variety of communication strategies that leaders can to enhance the team innovativeness.

Recommendation for Researchers: Further investigation into the underlying psychological states that these communication strategies elicit is needed. Future research should investigate psychological mediators such as knowledge consideration, perspective taking, and cognitive flexibility.

Impact on Society: Transdisciplinary science is needed to solve society’s most complex problems. The more insight we gather about factors that can help these knowledge diverse teams to be successful, but more society will benefit.

Future Research: More research is needed on team formation, leader experience, and team outcomes in transdisciplinary science teams in a variety of contexts.
Transdisciplinary Knowledge Producing Teams: Toward a Complex Systems Perspective
Authors: R Lotrecchiano Gaetano , Misra Shalini
Published: July 2018

Aim/Purpose: Transdisciplinarity is considered as a framework for understanding knowledge producing teams (KPTs). Features of transdisciplinary knowledge producing teams (TDKPTs) are provided using a complex adaptive systems (CAS) lens. TDKPT features are defined and linked to complexity theory to show how team participants might develop skills that more truly express complex adaptive conditions.

Background: TDKPTs are groups of stakeholder participants tasked with producing knowledge across disciplinary, sectoral, and ecological boundaries. TDKPTs reflect components of complex adaptive systems (CAS) and exemplify how CAS behave and function.

Methodology: The paper accesses literature from the Science-of-Team-Science (SciTS), complexity theory, and systems theory to construct a typology of the features of TDKPTs.

Contribution: This paper provides a list of features developed from a diverse body of literature useful for considering complexity within TDKPTs.

Findings: The paper proposes a series of features of transdisciplinary knowledge producing teams. In addition, the authors identify important skill building aspects needed for TDKPTs to be successful.

Recommendations for Practitioners: The paper provides a framework by which team functioning can be considered and enhanced within TDKPTs.

Recommendation for Researchers: The paper suggests categorical features of transdisciplinary teams for research on the collaborative processes and outcomes of TD teams.

Future Research: Knowledge producing team members need to engage in theoretical, episte-mological, and methodological reflections to elucidate the dynamic nature of TD knowledge producing teams. Understanding how conflict, dissonance, and reciprocal interdependencies contribute to knowledge generation are key areas of future research and inquiry.

The Impact of Background Music on Customer Purchase Intentions
Authors: Shenje Jacob
Published: July 2018

Retail supermarkets in Harare have been finding it difficult to differentiate their store environment based on the traditional components of the retail mix. As such, a quantitative research study was conducted to determine the impact of background music on consumer buying behaviour for retail supermarkets in Harare, Zimbabwe. Specifically, the study sought to determine the effect of playing familiar songs on customer purchase intentions and examine the impact of music tempo on customer purchase intentions in retail supermarkets. The study also intended to determine the effect of music volume on customer purchase intentions in retail supermarkets. Key findings indicated that music volume has a negative effect on customers purchase intentions (r = -0.199; p < 0.05). The study also revealed that music tempo had a negative effect on customer purchase intentions with a coefficient r = -0.208 at 5% level of significance. The findings implied that when music tempo increases customer purchase intentions will equally inversely decrease at the sampled retail supermarkets. Furtherance, findings from the study revealed that familiar music was positively and significantly correlated with consumer purchase intentions with a coefficient r = 0.650 at 5% level of significance. Thus, the supermarkets can use background music as differentiation strategy for enhancing the value of products or services offerings through positive experiences. Indeed, creating pleasant experiences to customers while shopping products or services can help these customers to feel emotionally attached and bonded with the retail supermarkets.
The Determinants of the use of Mobile Banking in Africa
Authors: SAWADOGO Alain T. , Nodji Ndilengar MBATINA
Published: July 2018

Since a few years, the banking sector in Africa has been transformed. The main factors that explain this transformation include the deleting of the regulatory measures of financial services, the effects of the globalising world and in particular the evolution of information technologies. It is now possible to offer alternative channels of distribution of services such as ATM and vending machines, credit cards and the mobile phone. The operators in the banking sector argue that the mobile bank would provide new opportunities for profits, cost reductions and a delivery of better services for customers. The objective of this paper is to analyse the determinants of the use of mobile banking in Burkina Faso. Taking into account the main variable of a qualitative nature, we used the logit model to perform the different estimates. Apart from the quality variables, gender, age, locality, it is that all the variables are significant to the thresholds of 1%, 5% and 10%.

New Zealand apples infested with apple leafcurling midge (ALCM) cocoons are a quarantine issue for growers exporting to many markets. The presence of ALCM on apples in these markets requires fumigation with methyl bromide, which decreases fruit quality. The effectiveness of various forms of heat treatments on ALCM were evaluated as alternatives. Apples infested with ALCM cocoons were subjected to one of the following heat treatments: Controlled Atmosphere Temperature Treatment System (CATTS; 1% O2, 15% CO2, 46˚C, 3 h), hot air (46˚C, 3 h), hot water high pressure washing (hot-HPW; 55˚C, 100 psi, 15—20 s), or hot water drench (HWD; 55˚C, 40 psi, 15—20 s). ALCM removal and mortality were assessed 7-days post-treatment. The hot-air and CATTS treatments provided the greatest control, with 82.2 and 92.2% mortality respectively. More cocoons were removed with hot-HPW (46.6%) compared with ambient-HPW (27.1%). Neither HWD nor hot-HPW increased mortality of cocooned ALCM over that in untreated controls. ALCM cocoons are particularly difficult pests to remove/kill; further research should focus on incorporating multiple control measures into the current systems approach.

Published: July 2018

Almost all of the original native vegetation of Canterbury Plains has been replaced with an arable landscape of managed exotic vegetation. A previous study planted small areas of native trees on arable farms in 2013 to enhance the abundance and diversity of beneficial insect crop pollinators. The aim of the current study was to assess insect flower visitation at three sites in the fifth year after planting. Weekly standardised surveys of native flower visitors were conducted between September 2017 and February 2018. A total of 2349 insects from 37 taxa were observed within three native plantings. Native bees (Lasioglossum sordidum 20%) and the honey bee, Apis mellifera (19%), were the most common followed by the large hoverfly, Melangyna novaezelandiae (16%). The calliphorid flies, brown blowfly Calliphora stygia (8%) and blue blowfly Calliphora vicina (6%), were also well represented. The most abundant insects visited four or more of the eight study plant species. Most (52%) of the flower visitors where natives. Many of these insects are known crop pollinators and it is likely that they assist with crop pollination.

Published: July 2018

The sultanate of Tidore is not only an area of Islamic influence residing in Tidore Island, as it is widely understood all along. Tidore Sultanate, is actually one of the centers of Islamic power that has a broad influence to other areas in the Maluku Islands and in Papua. Tidore with Ternate, is the most developed region, as both are able to expand influence and control other areas. This study is a literature study, through historical data and archaeological data from previous studies, to explain the development of the Tidore Sultanate as a center of power and influence in the Tidore power periphery region. The results of the study explain, based on historical data and archaeological evidence, Tidore developed as a center of power with the character of a sultanate city, and has a broad influence to other areas both in the Maluku Islands and in Papua which is the periferinya territory or the territory of Tidore Sultanate.
Indonesia Constitutional Court Constitutional Interpretation Methodology (2003-2008)
Authors: Siregar Fritz Edwadr
Published: July 2018

Nine Indonesian Constitutional Justices have the authority to annul a law drafted by 550 Parliament members and the President. The Constitutional  Court of the Republic of Indonesia (“the Court”), particularly in deciding cases  of judicial review, has the capability to declare words, sentences, paragraphs, articles or the law unconstitutional. Consequently, it is essential for the Court  to take into account legal arguments. The fundamental element of these legal arguments is constitutional interpretation, which serves as a parameter in determining constitutionality of the laws. However, in exercising its authority, the Court needs to interpret the Constitution as a  basis  for deciding  a case.  The standards for determining the constitutionality of a law must be the text of the Constitution, not what the judges would prefer the Constitution to mean. Constitutional supremacy necessarily assumes that a superior rule is what the Constitution says it is, not what the judges prefer it to be. [Craig R. Ducat: E3]. The Court period 2003–2008 were the Court’s the formative years, and as such are important to understand the methodology and interpretative approaches adopted by the Court. Many observers of the Court’s early decisions are still unsure of the overarching approach and methodology adopted by the Court. Thus, there is a need  for a close analysis and criticism of  the Court’s early decisions   to determine which methods and approaches it has adopted and whether these are appropriate in the Indonesian context. The Court has openly referred to the experiences of foreign jurisdiction in constitutional law, and therefore it would be appropriate to analyze the court’s decisions in a broader comparative context of constitutional interpretative approaches from around the  world.
The Constitutional Court’s Role in Consolidating Democracy and Reforming Local Election

Published: July 2018

Within the same group as the USA and India Indonesia is one of the largest democracies in the world. After experiencing authoritarian rule for a few decades since its independence the country finally at the beginning of the twenty first century managed to chart along its new direction along democratic course and values. More than a decade has passed since the democratic transition begun  yet the country still faces various constitutional dilemmas and enigmas. One of organs of the government which has been entrusted to transform the country into a democratic nation is the Constitutional Court. The objective of  this  paper is to provide critical analyses of the role of the Constitutional Court of Indonesia in the process of consolidating local democracy. The scope of analysis is confined to a number of important cases heard by the court on local election disputes from the year 2008  to 2013. The rationale to focus on local election      is because local government provides the second layer of government for this unitary country making the governance more democratic and more in touch with local population. The result of the study is the Constitutional Court through its decisions has created conducive political situation and has provided significant contributions in the process of consolidating local democracy. In spite of limited number of judges and short period of settlement to disputes brought before it the Court have settled all disputes regarding local elections without much delay and complaint. Nevertheless there are some areas  that  need  to  be addressed by the court to enhance its efficiency and effectiveness. A few  factors  have  been identified to be the cause of the problems namely problem of design of structure of the Court, extension of the scope of authority, period of settlement, over-dosis of authority and the breach of  code of  ethics of  the judges.Thus it  is recommended that in order to perpetuate the excellent achievements of the court the institution need to be strengthened by addressing the problems.
Human Rights Constitutionalism in Indonesia’s Foreign Policy
Authors: P. Wiratraman Herlambang
Published: July 2018

This article examines conceptual discourse of human rights constitutionalism as fundamental part of making policies in international relations. There are two key questions, first, to what extent human rights constitutionalism has been brought into discourse of its foreign policies, and second, how such human rights constitutionalism has been shaped by various actors, state and non state’s relations. The politics of 'image’ has been developed from regime to regime. However, such politics does not reflect substantially in progressing of human rights development. As part of democratic governance, and in the context of a more globalized society, Indonesia should rethink of its foreign policy foundations, especially in terms of transnational issues such as human rights, environment, and poverty. Therefore, central discussion in this regards is how to strengthen human rights constitutionalism is not merely internal and/or domestic affairs, but also this should build stronger and brave policies to develop and prioritize humanity values throughout international relations.

Is The Constitutional And Legal Recognition Of Traditional Community Laws Within The Multicultural Country Of Indonesia A Genuine Or Pseudo Recognition?
Authors: Nurjaya I Nyoman
Published: July 2018

Indonesia is well known amongst Southeast Asian countries for it multi- cultural identity in terms of ethnicity, religion, race and social stratification. Indonesia embodies its motto of Unity in Diversity, which refers to the culturally rich configuration of Indonesia, containing cultural capital and cultural power. However, cultural diversity also yields conflict due to inter-ethnic and inter- religious disputes that have the potential to generate social disintegration and even threaten the fragmentation of  Indonesia as a Nation  State.  In the eyes    of legal anthropologists, sources of conflict are often based on discriminatory policies expressed within the State’s law and legislation with regard to the recognition and protection of local communities across the country, namely ‘adat’ communities practising traditional, customary law, known as ‘adat’. Thus, State laws enacted and enforced by the Government tend to dominate and marginalise, even ignore the rights of  the local communities, particularly regarding access   to and control over natural resources, which is otherwise governed by the adat law of the region. This paper attempts to offer an answer to the fundamental question of whether the 1945 Constitution recognises and protects the traditional communities and their adat laws by employing a legal anthropological approach, with the purpose of obtaining a better understanding of development of State law in a multicultural Nation and looking towards a more just and equitable Indonesian State law.
The Decentralization Of Political Parties Through The Institutionalization Of The Local Political Parties
Authors: Karsayuda Muhammad Rifqinizamy
Published: July 2018

The implementation of regional autonomy through Acts Number 23/2014 on Regional Government formulates the authority that can be maintained by local governments. One of the authorities’ is the political autonomy. The efforts to implement the political autonomy can be done through the institutionalization of local political parties. However, according to Indonesian Law, the institutionalization of  local political parties is not regulated  in the provisions  of acts related to political parties. The legislation that regulates local political parties can be found only in Acts Number 11/2006 on Aceh Government and Acts Number 21/2001 on Special Autonomy for Papua Province. Therefore, this paper analyzes the theoretical, juridical and sociological reasons underpinned the idea of local political parties’ institutionalization. This research is a normative legal research which uses legal matter and acts to analyse the problems. This research finds strategies that is relevant to make local political parties institutionalized. There are five reasons to deliver local political parties in Indonesia based from this research. First, the theoretical foundation describes Indonesia as a country with federalism autonomy.  Second,  the constitutional  juridical  basis consists  of two principles of the Constitution, namely the principle of the autonomy of the unitary state and the principle of equality and freedom of every citizen in governing. Third, The platform of sociological based on the fact that the choice of pluralistic Indonesian society is still diverse in many elections. Fourth, the historical background in the form of historical experience that in 1955 General Election and Local Election, there  were  several  local  political  parties.  Fifth, the comparative study  in  United  Kingdom as a unitary state and  Malaysia as a Federal State, which both have local political parties. The concept of local political parties that are relevant to be applied in Indonesia in the constitutional juridical perspective related to the decentralization of political parties can be built through four strategies. First, the local political party whose presence was based on pluralist paradigm which provides the idea that in a pluralistic society should be built a decentralized party system in order to sustain the plurality of society. Second, the local political party which drafted is a separate legal entity which is dichotomous from the national political parties as a legal entity. Third, local political party’s participation in elections only to the General Election and Local Elections for Legislative Elections candidates, the Provincial Representatives, Regency / City. Fourth, the formation mechanism, supervision and dissolution  of local political parties are designed similar to national political process for parties as applicable today.
Independence of the Indonesian Constitutional Court in Norms and Practices
Authors: Eddyono Luthfi Widagdo
Published: July 2018

Article 24 (1) of the 1945 Constitution States after the third amendment, “the judicial power shall be independent in administering justice so as to uphold the law and equality.” The Indonesian Constitutional Court is one of the performers of the independent judicial power who plays a significant role in the enforcement of the constitution and the principle of the state based on the law by its authority and obligations as determined by the 1945 Constitution. This paper intends to study the Indonesian Constitutional Court to find out whether the Constitutional Court in exercising its constitutional authority can be independent. Also, this article will examine not just institutional independence but also judges independence to understand current issues related to the role of ethics and conduct of judges. The independence of the Indonesian Constitutional Court supported by the 1945 Constitution after the amendments from 1999 until 2002, and further stipulated in Law. However, it can be said that this institution has ups and downs of public trust due to corruption cases conducted by constitutional justices. Also, in several political instances showed efforts of political institutions to limit the authority of the Constitutional Court. In its experiences, the Constitutional Court succeeded in convincing the parties through its decisions and strengthening institutional independence against the influence that tried to destabilize its institutions. The Council of Ethics of Constitutional Judges that maintains the values and behavior of judges also continuously works and efficient enough in overseeing the ethics and conduct of judges. The decision of the Ethics Council may also be accepted as a proportional decision.
The Constitutional Will In Human Rights Protection For Refugees
Authors: Agustine Oly Viana
Published: July 2018

Human rights protection granted to refugees in Indonesia has not received serious attention, in particular for those who are included in the cross-border refugees. This issue is a question of how the Constitution mandates a protection to them, whether it is an obligation of the government of Indonesia or it is volunteerism alone. The provisians are addressed in Article 28A, Article 28B paragraph (2), Article 28D paragraph (4), Article 28E paragraph (1), Article 28G paragraph (2), and Article 28H paragraph (1), and Article 28J paragraph (1), Broadly speaking, the Indonesian constitution calls for better protection of refugees to internally displaced persons and refugees across borders. This is reflected in several articles in the 1945 Constitution that mention the word “everyone” in the subject which meant regardless of citizenship status or population. This is certainly in line with the values of human rights that have been recognized along with the universality of human rights that are applicable. Therefors the will of the constitution on refugees needs to be implemented in legislation in Indonesia, which describes in details the human rights protection to internally displaced persons and refugees state that the will of the constitution in the protection of human rights to refugees be implemented correctly.

Efforts to transform humanity with knowledge of attitudes and behaviors that conform to Islamic values or ideology can only be done with education. Thus, Islamic education is a process to bring humanity closer to the level of its perfection and to develop the level of its ability which is guided by Islamic ideology and aqidah. As the goal of Islamic education is to create human beings who are Islamic and soulful in accordance with the spirit and breath of Islam. Methodology that is not oriented towards the achievement of these goals will certainly be avoided, so that Islamic education is not merely transfer of knowledge, but pay attention to whether the given science can change attitudes and behavior or not. Within this framework, intensive monitoring by all levels of society, including the government on the patterns and behavior of learners, to what extent they are bound by the Islamic conception of life and values.

Chevron Deference and Agency Self-Interest
Authors: Armstrong Timothy Keith
Published: July 2018

CITATION: 13 Cornell J.L. & Pub. Pol'y 203 (2004).ABSTRACT: Judicial review of a federal administrative agency's statutory or regulatory interpretation ordinarily proceeds under the highly deferential framework announced in the landmark case of Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, 467 U.S. 837 (1984). Withholding an independent judicial interpretation of a statute or regulation in deference to an agency's views, however, poses unique problems when the agency has a self-interested stake in its interpretation - as, for example, when the agency's interpretation affects its regulatory jurisdiction or yields a financial benefit to the agency. A review of several cases in which courts have deferred, or refused to defer, to interpretations of law that implicated the self-interest of the issuing agency shows that the courts have not enunciated a consistent rationale to explain their divergent results. The article concludes that extending the Chevron deference principle to self-interested agency interpretations of law conflicts with settled norms of due process, and proposes an alternative analytical framework for judicial review of such interpretations.

The miracle of the Qur'an is seen from the side of its contents that have been written and known, but the magic seen from how the Qur'an is written or composed may not have much to know. Non-Muslims especially western orientalists often allege that the Qur'an is made by Muhammad. Yet if we read the Qur'an there is a verse that states the challenge to the unbelievers, especially to make books or books such as Al Quan where this is not possible will be able to do even if jinn and humans unite to make it. Mathematics is the universal language of science. Allah has described mathematics in Al Quan with numbers that are closely related to creation and life. part of the miraculous characteristics of the Qur'an that we have seen so far, also contains what we might call "the miracle of mathematics. "There are many examples of this interesting aspect of the Qur'an. One example of this is the number of repetitions of certain words in the Qur'an. Some surprisingly related words are repeated the same number several times.

Long Term Effects of Job Displacement. Paper presented at the 2010 American Sociological Association Annual Meeting.
Authors: Moehr Matthew J
Published: July 2018

This paper replicates and extends Stevens’s (1997) analysis of the long-term effects of job displacements. Using data from the 1968-2005 waves of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, I estimate fixed-effects models which show that there are long term decreases in earnings after displacements. The decreases are mediated when longer follow up data is used for individuals. Changes in the labor market have also shifted the relationship between displacements and individual worker characteristics. Specifically, education and experience have become more important then displacements. Conclusions are based on an analysis of the different people in the 40 years of PSID data and the structural changes in the labor market over that time. This article suggests that longitudinal data and fixed-effects models are one of many ways to conceptualize labor market changes.

Authors: Journal Arab World English , Sabbah Sabah Salman
Published: July 2018

This study aimed to identify the study habits used by English as Second Language Level three students in the Community College of Qatar (CCQ). It also aimed to find out if there is any difference between the subjects’ achievement in reading, writing and grammar as measured by their accumulative averages in the three mentioned language subjects due to their study habits. For the purpose of the study, the subjects’ averages were categorized into three levels:low, moderate, and high, according to the successful achievement criteria used in CCQ. The researcher designed a five-Likert questionnaire that included six dimensions of study habits: where to study, how to study, when to study, concentration and memory, management and procrastination, and test anxiety. The questionnaire was administered to a sample of 50 students which comprised 37% of a total population of Level 3 female students. Frequencies and percentages to describe demographical variables, means and standard deviations, and one Way ANOVA test were used on the obtained data. The descriptive results showed that the following habits were widespread among students: preparing all study stuff (pencils, pens, highlighters, notebook, book, before starting to study); studying the tough subjects when being most alert; underlining or highlighting the most important ideas on the material being studied; arriving at classes on time (not late); starting with the teachers' handouts when studying, expecting the questions of the test paper in advance. The ANOVA test showed that there are significant differences in the level of students’ marks due to concentration and memory in favor of the high achievers. The abstract should be in one single paragraph.
