This paper examines how the thought frame of integrative learning in a constructivist perspective. Educational constructivism views that learning can not be understood as an inheritance of objective knowledge or cultural values, but as an effort to help students learning to construct and interpret the surrounding world integrally. This world is not made up of things that each stands alone, but all of them are related each other (relational). This relational becomes the real nature of this world. Integrative education and learning praxis integration of science and religion into a new vehicle that is actually real description of this world, as the things within it, i.e. humans. The understanding of a theme object (learning material) should be performed in multi-perspective, so that the meaning found by learners include the existing whole, including the values of the Divine. Tulisan ini mengkaji tentang bagaimana kerangka berpikir pembelajaran integratif dalam perspektif konstruktivisme. Konstruktivisme pendidikan memandang bahwa pembelajaran tidak dapat dipahami sebagai pewarisan pengetahuan atau nilai-nilai kultural yang objektif, tetapi sebagai upaya membantu siswa belajar mengkonstruksi dan memaknai dunia yang mengitarinya secara integral. Dunia ini bukan terdiri dari hal-hal yang masing-masing berdiri sendiri-sendiri, tetapi semuanya itu terkait (relasional). Relasional ini menjadi sifat sejati dunia ini. Pendidikan integratif dan praksis pembelajaran integrasi sains dan agama menjadi wahana baru yang sesungguhnya menggambarkan sejatinya dunia ini, beserta di dalamnya, yaitu manusia. Pemahaman terhadap satu objek tema (materi pembelajaran) harus dilakukan secara multiperspektif, sehingga makna yang ditemukan peserta didik meliputi keseluruhan yang ada, termasuk di dalamnya nilai-nilai Ilahiah.

Published: May 2018

This paper is intended to describe how the integration of religion and science is done through the practice of PAI learning. This was done because there is a strong presumption in the wider community who say that religion and science are the two entities that can not be met. Both have their respective territories, separated from each other, in terms of formal-material objects, research methods, criteria of truth, the role played by scientists. There is also a view that science and religion stand at their respective position, because science rely on empirically supported data to ascertain what is real and what is not, contrary religion ready to accept the supernatural and certainly not only be based on tangible variables of faith and the belief that religion and science must coexist independently of each other, because even though there are similarities in their mission, the fundamental difference between the two present a conflict that will resonate on each core. Tulisan ini ditujukan untuk mendeskripsikan bagaimana integrasi agama dan sains dilakukan melalui praktik pembelajaran PAI. Hal itu dilakukan karena ada anggapan yang kuat dalam masyarakat luas yang mengatakan bahwa agama dan ilmu adalah dua entitas yang tidak dapat dipertemukan. Keduanya mempunyai wilayah masing-masing, terpisah antara satu dan lainnya, baik dari segi objek formalmaterial, metode penelitian, kriteria kebenaran, peran yang dimainkan oleh ilmuwan. Ada juga yang memandang bahwa sains dan agama berdiri pada posisinya masingmasing, karena bidang ilmu mengandalkan data yang didukung secara empiris untuk memastikan apa yang nyata dan apa yang tidak, agama sebaliknya siap menerima yang gaib dan tidak pasti hanya didasarkan pada variabel berwujud dari iman dan kepercayaan bahwa agama dan sains harus hidup berdampingan independen satu sama lain, sebab meskipun ada kesamaan dalam misi mereka, perbedaan mendasar antarakeduanya menyajikan sebuah konflik yang akan beresonansi pada inti masingmasing.
Memahami Ideologi Pendidikan Dalam Perspektif Al – Qur’an
Authors: Azizah Desita Nur

Theoretically ideology is the theoretical foundation and philosophical view that provides operational direction. In its development there are current of three major ideology that influence education, namely: conservative, liberal, and critical. Traditional education systems tend to use conservative ideology as the basis for their education. Meanwhile, modern education that is currently growing rapidly in the pace of globalization is guided by liberacy the education management by carrying the spirit of high humanism. On the other hand, Islam as a religious building that carries the concept of rahmatan lil 'alamin basically has the concept of humanist value that is actually available in the Qur'an. It's just how humans can dig up and maximize their use in educational studies appropriately and to achieve the ideal educational concept needs to be developed more broadly. Thus, the concept or ideology of Islamic education actually already exists in the Qur'an and how human can maximize their potential to explore these sciences.

Can Reprogramming of Overall Epigenetic Memory and Specific Parental Genomic Imprinting Memory within Donor Cell-Inherited Nuclear Genome be a Major Hindrance for the Somatic Cell Cloning of Mammals? – A Review
Authors: Samiec Marcin , Skrzyszowska Maria
Published: May 2018

Successful cloning of animals by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) requires epigenetic transcriptional reprogramming of the differentiated state of the donor cell nucleus to a totipotent embryonic ground state. It means that the donor nuclei must cease its own program of gene expression and restore a particular program of the embryonic genome expression regulation that is necessary for normal development. Transcriptional activity of somatic cell-derived nuclear genome during embryo pre- and postimplantation development as well as foetogenesis is correlated with the frequencies for spatial remodeling of chromatin architecture and reprogramming of cellular epigenetic memory. This former and this latter process include such covalent modifications as demethylation/re-methylation of DNA cytosine residues and acetylation/deacetylation as well as demethylation/re-methylation of lysine residues of nucleosomal core-derived histones H3 and H4. The main cause of low SCNT efficiency in mammals turns out to be an incomplete reprogramming of transcriptional activity for donor cell-descended genes. It has been ascertained that somatic cell nuclei should undergo the wide DNA cytosine residue demethylation changes throughout the early development of cloned embryos to reset their own overall epigenetic and parental genomic imprinting memories that have been established by re-methylation of the nuclear donor cell-inherited genome during specific pathways of somatic and germ cell lineage differentiation. A more extensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms and recognition of determinants for epigenetic transcriptional reprogrammability of somatic cell nuclear genome will be helpful to solve the problems resulting from unsatisfactory SCNT effectiveness and open new possibilities for common application of this technology in transgenic research focused on human biomedicine.

Published: May 2018

The trial with 240 caged ISA Brown laying hens was performed to evaluate the effect of selected feed additives on mineral utilisation as well as biomechanical (breaking strength, yielding load, stiffness) and geometrical (cortex thickness, cross-section area, weight, length) indices of tibia and femur bones. At 26 wks of age the layers were randomly assigned to 10 treatments with 12 replicates (cages) of two birds. In the study a 2 × 5 experimental scheme was used i.e. to 70 wks of age, the layers were fed isocaloric and isonitrogenous experimental diets containing reduced (3.20%) or standard (3.70%) Ca level. The diets with both Ca levels were either not supplemented, or supplemented with the studied feed additives i.e. sodium butyrate, probiotic bacteria, herbal extract blend and chitosan. There were no statistically significant effects of the experimental factors on the indices of the tibia bones. However, the diet with reduced Ca level decreased bone breaking strength, yielding load, stiffness, and mineralisation of the femur bones (P<0.05). The majority of used feed supplements, i.e. probiotic, herb extracts, and chitosan, increased biomechanical indices (breaking strength and yielding load) and mineralisation of the femur bones (P<0.05). Neither dietary Ca level nor feed additives affected dry matter, organic matter, ether extract, N-free extracts, crude fibre and ash digestibility, and P retention and excretion; however, Ca excretion and retention was lower in the hens fed the diets with reduced Ca level (P<0.05). Relative Ca retention (Ca retained as % of Ca intake) was improved by diet supplementation with probiotic, herb extracts and chitosan (P<0.05). In conclusion, this study has shown that decreased Ca dietary level (3.20%) can negatively affect bone quality in layers, while probiotic, herb extracts and chitosan addition may improve the selected biomechanical indices of the femurs, irrespective of Ca dietary concentration.

Authors: Akinluyi Francis O. , Adebola Abiodun O. , Adeseko Adebowale A.
Published: May 2018

The city of Lagos, Nigeria has undergone rapid increase in population due to economic and commercial activities. As a result of this, there has been a persistent change in Land use/Land cover (LULC) of the city and shoreline through the years. This observation necessitated the use of multi-temporal satellite data to characterize shoreline changes between 1984 and 2016. Therefore, the study attempts to determine the shoreline change during the study period and the coastal land use and land cover (LULC) of the study area. Satellite data was acquired andsubjected to some image processing techniques such as image enhancement, supervised classification, and shoreline extraction. The digital shoreline analysis system (DSAS) in ArcGIS environment was utilized to cast transects and calculate statistical parameters for the shoreline and spatial data used was Landsat TM, ETM and OLI for the years 1984, 1990, 2000, 2004 and 2016 respectively. The results indicate that LULC changes in builtup areas increases rapidly during the years (1984-2015) from 12.2 -36.2%, water bodies increased from (1984- 1990-2000) from 52%, 54%, 52% and reduces to 47.4% in the year 2015 while vegetation cover reduces drastically through the year range from 36%, 33%, 29%, 24% and 16%. A total of 1034 transects were generated with 100m spacing and the average rate of change was calculated for the 32 year period (1984-2016). The linear regression rate (LRR) shoreline result shows a mean of -0.59m/year where 73.1% of transect fall under erosion and 61.8% accretion respectively. The end point rate (EPR) and net shoreline movement (NSM) analysis revealed mean shoreline change of -0.57m/year and -18.1m/period respectively from 1984-2016. The EPR and NSM results both revealed that 231 transect or 22.3% experienced erosion, and 805 transect or 77.9% with accretion. It was observed that significant accretion rate recorded along most sections of the shorelines is attributed to beach nourishment activities.

The aim of the investigation was to study the elastic properties and chemical composition of rock samples based on laboratory measurements. Three cuboid samples of diabase, granite and quartz were tested under laboratory conditions. The shape of samples is a cuboid with dimensions 0.1 × 0.05 × 0.05 m and the measurements were made in three directions. The Pundit Lab+ equipment was used for tests. The signal frequency value was 250 kHz. The propagation times of P- and S-waves were designated that allows to determine the elastic dynamic moduli values. The Japanese JEOL USA Scanning Electron Microscope was also used for tests. The chemical composition of rocks were determined by characteristic X-rays analysis. Obtained results show that the ultrasonic measurements and SEM are useful tools to assign properties of rocks. This knowledge makes easier recognition in preliminary stages during engineering study.
Plant protection and forest protection – the development of legislation and forest protection services in Poland
Authors: Karmiłowicz Elżbieta , Skrzecz Iwona , Matyjaszczyk Ewa
Published: May 2018

The paper presents the history of legal changes regarding forest protection in Poland and the development of forest protection services Poland’s accession to the European Union in 2004 has affected the marketing and the use of plant protection products (PPPs) in the country. The implementation of the EU legislation (Directive 91/414/EEC) has resulted in a decline in the assortment of pesticides registered for use in agriculture, and in forestry. This situation resulted from the limited interest of producers in placing PPPs on the market. Furthermore, limitations in the aerial application of PPPs have been introduced, which has consequences for the protection of the forest, where aerial treatments are often the only way to reduce the number of pests. On the other hand, the introduction of integrated pest management (also in forestry) confirmed the adequacy of activities carried out in the State Forest National Forest Holding, where, for many decades, the prevention methods have been used to increase the resistance of stands and the multi-stage Decision Support System (DSS) is used to select the optimal protective method.

Usage of the Atlas of Silesia from 1752 in European cartographic publications
Authors: Wytyczak Roman
Published: May 2018

The author discusses adaptations of maps from the Atlas of Silesia published by European cartographers in more important atlases and multi-sheet maps from the second half of the 18th and early 19th century. Thanks to such adaptations the cartographic image of Silesia could be observed far beyond its borders. Its quality varied, however, both in planimetric contents and in relief. While situation was mostly represented rather correctly in relation to the maps from the Atlas of Silesia, presentation of orography largely differed from the original as well as from its real character. Even application of three methods of relief presentation on a single map did not bring on proper results, mainly due to the fact that the authors of adaptations did not know Silesia.

Material and methods. This article is a review of literature. Results. After puberty, the first option should be ovarian controlled hyperstimulation (COS) resulting in oocytes that are consequently fertilized using FIV or ICSI and the cryopreservation of the embryos. If the patient does not have a partner at that moment, the next method is the vitrification of the oocytes resulting from the COS. The disadvantages of using COS are the need to postpone the radio and chemotherapy for at least 2-3 weeks and high oestradiol levels, but there are very few hormone dependent musculoskeletal tumors that may be affected. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC), with ovarian tissue transplantation (OTT) is the only method used if the patient is before puberty, plus, this technique allows patients to spontaneously conceive, if they do not have any other fertility pathology, but this freezing/ thawing procedure may have success or not. There is currently no evidence to suggest that OTT causes reseeding of the original cancer, and the restoring of the ovarian endocrine function was reported in about 95% of the cases. Conclusions. The success of fertility preservation techniques is related to the cryopreservation methods used and the age of the patient. The reproductive cells with the best survival are the embryos, the next are oocytes, or ovarian tissue may be cryopreserved. For best outcomes, the fertility preservation must be pluridisciplinary discussed, involving the ART specialist gynecologist, the oncologist and the surgeon of the musculoskeletal tumor.

Introduction: Despite the success of early detection of mammary neoplasms and the application of an aggressive therapy, this pathology continues to be a clinical problem. Mortality associated with breast cancer is directly proportional to cell invasion and the presence of metastases. Tumor cells within a breast tumor may be present as secondary determinations and present a spine and bone-related tropism. Material and method: Analysis of articles published in the literature to observe the association between the presence of bone metastases at the time of diagnosis of breast cancer and during the oncological monitoring period according to staging. Results: Approximately 15% of the patients with stage I - III breast cancer have bone metastases during the first 60 months after surgery. Approximately 50% of the patients who had metastases presented as a bone location in oncological monitoring. The most common bone metastases are spine, ribs, pelvis, and long bones. Conclusions: Breast neoplasm has a distinct metastatic pattern with bone skeleton as the predominant site. Approximately 65 to 75% of the patients with invasive breast cancer develop bone metastases. For this reason, oncological monitoring should take into account the early identification of these secondary locations.

Introduction. Soft tissue tumors are a rare pathology encountered in the pregnant patient. Considering the patient’s potential vital risk, the concomitant evolution of pregnancy and the possible infertility acquired after treatment, the therapeutic conduct of these tumors is a challenge to current medical practice. Material and method. The paper aims to present certain cases of soft-tissue tumors diagnosed in pregnant women as well as a retrospective analysis of literature. Results. The diagnosis of certainty was significantly delayed in the case of pregnant patients. The treatment plan was complex and had to take into account the type and the location of the primary tumor, growth rate, associated symptom, age of pregnancy, as well as minimize the fetal toxic effects. Conclusions. The identification of a soft-tissue tumor during pregnancy is associated with limited diagnostic methods. A multidisciplinary team should establish the therapeutic approach for softtissue tumors diagnosed in the pregnant patient. The therapeutic approach should be individualized in each case in order to achieve a balance between tumor treatment, pregnancy outcome, and subsequent reproductive capacity of the patient.

Introduction. The increasing number of tumor prosthesis in the last decade shows the advance in musculoskeletal oncology. Limb sparing surgery nowadays has to be the focus in surgery, maintaining the patient’s quality of life. Prognosis depends on the histological type of tumor, size, and local extension. Pain is present in almost any cases of bone tumors and can vary in intensity and character. Being the leading symptom is strongly correlated to the quality of life. The purpose of this study was to evaluate pain in patients with primary bone sarcomas before and after surgery. Material and methods. 11 patients were involved in this study over a period of 4 years (2014-2017) from the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department in the University Emergency Hospital in Bucharest. Tumor resection and reconstruction with modular prosthesis was performed in 4 cases, and tumor resection was necessary in 3 cases and amputation in 4 cases. Pain was evaluated before and after surgery using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Early postoperative pain control was achieved with epidural catheter, followed by opioid therapy, NSAIDs and Paracetamol in the early stages of mobilization. Results. Surface sarcomas and tumors close to the periosteum, or periosteal involvement has shown a localized and increased pain. Multimodal-analgesia was used for pain management. Within the first 48 hours, analgesia was performed with an epidural catheter by continuous infusion of ropivacaine 0.2% and fentanyl 2mcg/ ml at a rate ranging between 3-6 ml/ h, obtaining a VAS score between 0 and 3. Conclusions. Perioperative pain management has to be individualized to the localization and local soft tissue involvement of the tumor. In late stages of sarcomas or local recurrence, conventional analgesics can be inefficient. Early diagnosis and surgical removal of these tumors is the most important objective for a good prognosis.

Introduction. After a time when amputation was the only treatment option for musculoskeletal malignancies, a major breakthrough was the tumoral arthroplasty with limb preservation. Material and method. The study included a group of 28 patients, of whom 20 had pelvic limb tumor formation. Malignant bone tumors were present in 18 patients and benign tumors in 10 patients. The most commonly encountered was osteosarcoma in 12 patients, Ewing sarcoma in 4 patients and giant cell tumor in 3 patients. Patient follow-up was conducted within 4 years (with an average of 3-5 years). Results. 5 of our patients developed pulmonary metastases 8 months after surgery and, for 4 of the patients, pulmonary determinations were extirpated without subsequent relapse. The survival rate was 75% at the last follow-up (6 of 12 patients with osteosarcoma, 1 of 4 patients with Ewing’s sarcoma has died), and 32% had local tumor recurrence. The infection remains an inherent danger by using implants in immunosuppressed patients. 18% of the patients had amputations secondary to long-term complications involving the following prosthesis causes: vascular compromise, aseptic loosening, periprosthetic fractures, and metallosis. Sarcoma was associated with a higher infection rate. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy (not in combination) were statistically associated with an increased infection. Debridement with retention of the implant has reached a remission of the infection rate of 70%, 62% for two-step treatment to 100% in the case of amputations. Conclusions. Regardless of the stage of the tumor, amputation has a narrower indication nowadays, the goal being the retention of the limb and reconstruction. The amputation post-tumoral arthroplasty is of a primary intention in the case of aggressive local recurrences and massive infections. Staphylococcus aureus remains the bacterium with the highest incidence of infection complications.

In the last decades, immunohistochemistry (IHC) has shown an important role in tumor differential diagnosis and has proven its prognostic role. Due to the various histological subtypes of primary malignant bone tumors, its role will be more important in the future. Based on recent studies, tumor growth, cell mobility, and metastases strongly correlate to the survival of these patients. An increased number of specific IHC markers have been used to determine the aggressiveness of the metastatic capacity of these tumors in enhancing early specific oncological therapies. This study presents 15 cases of primary malignant bone tumors, over a period of 4 years (2014-2018), from the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department of the University Emergency Hospital in Bucharest, where we evaluated the proliferation index using Ki67 IHC marker, tissue remodelation, the presence of necrosis in osteosarcoma cases in which chemotherapy was applied, and the aspect of the cytoskeleton with vimentin. Besides the histological aspect, we evaluated the tumor site, invasion and extension to the surrounding tissues (Computer Tomography, Magnetic Resonance) and vascularization with angiography, all these properties having an important prognostic role. Our findings were similar to other research papers in literature; showing that a fast growing and high proliferation index with increased cell mobility has a worse prognosis. Pulmonary metastases occurred in a relative short time in high-grade osteosarcomas, despite the chemotherapy, and multiple metastases were present at 6 months in a dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma case, in which the high-grade sarcoma was an osteosarcoma. Based on the literature, we also think that some specific markers might have multiple roles regarding the tumor growth local invasion and metastasis.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a benign proliferative condition that causes the synovium of the joints and tendons to thicken and overgrow. The causes have not been completely discovered, with trauma and repetitive inflammation being the most incriminated. Genetic aberrations have been reported in most cases and could suggest a neoplastic origin of the disease. It appears in 2 forms: localized or diffuse. Although it can affect all joints, the most common location is the knee. The treatment options include anti-inflammatory medication, surgical removal (open or arthroscopic) and radiotherapy (mixed results). We present the case of a 31-year-old male who came to our Clinic with pain and tumefaction of the right popliteal fossa. From the patient’s medical history, it resulted that he had developed a tumoral growth in the popliteal fossa 20 months before, which was removed. After extensive investigations (X-ray, CT, and MRI), a biopsy was performed. The result was pigmented villonodular synovitis. The proliferation was removed for the second time. The immediate post-surgery evolution was good and the patient is scheduled for periodic follow-ups. Although the proliferation was removed entirely, studies show that this disease has a high chance of recurrence (46% for the diffuse form). Also, in time, repeated excisions can force the surgeon to choose more radical options (joint reconstruction or even amputation).
