PENERAPAN PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER DALAM KELUARGA SEBAGAI UPAYA MENANAMKAN NILAI-NILAI MORAL PADA ANAK
Authors: Susan Susanti
Published: June 2023

ABSTRAK

Keluarga merupakan lingkungan pertama dan utama bagi seorang anak, karena tugasnya meletakkan dasar-dasar pertama bagi perkembangan anak sebelum mereka berada di lingkungan yang lebih luas. Di dalam keluarga, anak lahir dan tumbuh berkembang. Namun, beragam realitas yang terjadi pada era globalisasi yang semakin marak seperti tayangan sinetron anak sekolah yang kurang mendidik telah membuat anak usia pra sekolah menjadi konsumtif dan terjerumus pada tindakan asusila bahkan sampai kriminal. Sejalan dengan hal tersebut, diperlukan pembinaan atau pembelajaran nilai-nilai moral yang dilakukan pendidik dan disesuaikan dengan tingkat perkembangan jasmani dan rohani dengan tujuan agar anak menjadi insan yang sholeh, berilmu pengetahuan, dan berbudi pekerti sesuai dengan nilai-nilai moral.

Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan Teknik wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Teknik analisis data meliputi mereduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Disamping itu, dengan perpanjangan keikutsertaan peneliti dengan menggunakan berbagai sumber, teori, metode dan ketekunan pengamatan. Informan penelitian yaitu keluarga. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nilai-nilai pendidikan karakter yang ditanamkan meliputi religius, mandiri, tanggung jawab, jujur, disiplin, dan nilai-nilai moral yang lain. Sedangkan metode penanaman nilai-nilai karakter meliputi metode pembiasaan, metode keteladanan, metode nasihat, dan metode hukuman. Meskipun dalam penanaman nilai nilai-nilai karakter dalam diri seorang anak memiliki persamaan, akan tetapi dampak yang ditimbulkan berbeda. Hal tersebut dikarenakan ada beberapa nilai-nilai karakter yang ditanamkan dan dan tidak hanya cukup dengan menggunakan satu metode saja, akan tetapi perlu ditambah dengan metode lain sebagai pendukung.

Terlepas dari penanaman nilai-nilai moral tersebut dengan berbagai metode yang digunakan oleh orang tua, orang tua juga harus mengetahui karakter masing-masing anak-ananknya. Sehingga, apa yang diinginkan orang tua dapat tercapai.  Ketercapaian dari semua yang diharapkan orang tua melalui perubahan tingkah laku, tutur kata, sopan santun, dan hal-hal baik lainnya merupakan hal yang sangat membanggakan bagi orang tua. Sehingga, kelak ketika anaknya sudah dewasa maka sifat-sifatnya akan terbawa dan dapat berguna untuk dirinya dan orang lain.

PENDIDIKAN TOLERANSI UNTUK KAUM AHMADIYAH
Authors: M. Pd Hamdan , Hadi Syukron
Published: June 2023

Abstrak: Ahmadiyah merupakan sekte atau gerakan sempalan dalam Islam yang menggeliat di awal abad 20, tepatnya pada 1889, di mana lahir Jemaat Muslim Ahmadiyah. Akarnya adalah sebagian keyakinan bahwa akhir zaman telah tiba, dan pembawa gerakan ini Mirza Ghulam Ahmad merupakan orang yang terpilih sebagai Messiah atau dalam keyakinan Islam disebut sebagai Al-Mahdi yang akan menuntun umat manusia kepada Islam sebenarnya. Ajaran yang mengambil Islam Sunni sebagai rujukan ini berkembang di Inggris, tentu saja berkat kebijakan kolonialis Inggris di tanah Hindustan, yang tidak begitu mencampuri urusan Agama dan keyakinan. Faktanya, pada masa itu, umat Islam di tanah Hindustan lebih memperhatikan bagaimana hubungan antara kaum Muslim dan Hindu, setelah kerajaan Mughal sebagai kerajaan Islam terakhir di India jatuh di bawah kaki Inggris. Paper ini akan lebih banyak mengeksplor tentang aliran Ahmadiyah dan bagaimana seharusnya bersikap dalam konteks dakwah.

A Sustainable Things Proposed Method Using Green Information Technology
Authors: Alassery Fawaz
Published: June 2023

The topic of sustainability has received a lot of attention in recent years, particularly in relation to solutions that aim to prolong the life of the planet's natural resources. In addition, the ongoing development of information technology is a crucial concern (IT), which results in a great environmental impact. Things or higher education institutions, like any other institution, generate impacts on the environment, whether from IT or any other nature. In this sense, one of the concepts that can be introduced in the search for sustainability at the university is Green IT. Thus, this work aims to propose an approach for the possible implementation of Green IT in things, taking into account the practices and approaches that already exist and are presented by the literature available in selected databases. This model was created from a scoping study and the construction of a conceptual framework. The result achieved was the proposed conceptual framework called Green IT Adoption Process in Higher Education (GITAPHE), based on three main constructs: Context, Readiness and Adoption.
Image Processing for Automatic Cell Nucleus Segmentation Using Super pixel and Clustering Methods on Histopathological Images
Authors: Hassan Ahamed Shibly Firthouse , Kumar. R Lakshmana
Published: June 2023

On a daily basis, it appears that the number of cancer cases and cancer-related deaths are increasing. Early detection and treatment of the malignant region are critical for successful treatment. Early detection of sick cells is made possible with the use of computer-assisted programmes, which are then diagnosed by experienced pathologists due to their efforts. Using computer-aided programmes, this research found that cell nuclei could be automatically detected in high-resolution histopathological images using global segmentation methods such as k-Means and Fuzzy C Means and algorithms from superpixel segmentation methods such as SLIC, Quick-shift, Felzenszwalb, Watershed, and ERS. Using high-quality histopathology pictures, the researchers discovered that the k-means and FCM algorithms performed significantly better than the baseline techniques in the study. In terms of precision, the Quickshift and SLIC approaches produced superior outcomes. The K-means and FCM algorithms perform best in the F-M test, and the true negative ratio is more successful in the Quickshift and SLIC methods than in the F-M test.

Authors: Ruslan Hasni , Satiyo Abda'u , Yenisbar Yenisbar
Published: June 2023

Kupu-kupu merupakan salah satu kelompok serangga dengan keanekaragaman spesies yang  tinggi dan memiliki keterkaitan erat dengan faktor lingkungan yang mempengaruhi keberadaan dan kelimpahannya di suatu habitat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis keanekaragaman dan kelimpahan populasi kupu-kupu di PPKA Bodogol, Sukabumi Jawa Barat. Pengamatan kupu-kupu dilakukan dengan metode transek sepanjang 700 m mengunakan kamera dan sweeping net di sepanjang jalur yang ada di dua lokasi, yakni hutan heterogen dan hutan homogen. Pengamatan kupu-kupu dilakukan mulai pukul 08.00 hingga pukul 12.00 pagi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian di hutan heterogen ditemukan 78 spesies (261 individu), di hutan homogen ditemukan 39 spesies (158 individu), yang termasuk ke dalam 5 famili, yaitu Lycaenidae, Nymphalidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, dan Rionidae. Famili Nymphalidae merupakan famili yang memiliki jumlah spesies dan individu paling tinggi dibanding famili lainnya. Nilai kesamaan komposisi kupu-kupu <50%, yang berarti komposisi kupu-kupu yang ditemukan di dua habitat tidak sama. Indeks keanekaragaman kupu-kupu di hutan heterogen lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan hutan homogen. Dari uji hutchinson tidak terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna. Nilai indeks kemerataan spesies pada dua habitat menunjukan nilai yang hampir sama, yaitu 0,9 di hutan heterogen dan 0,8 di hutan homogen. Keberadaan, keanekaragaman, serta kelimpahan kupu-kupu di suatu habitat berkaitan erat dengan jenis habitat serta unsur-unsur abiotik maupun biotik yang ada di dalamnya.

In the Cancionero de Llavia three poems are included, one of Sánchez de Talavera and two of Gonzalo Martínez de Medina, with the rubric of dezires in the Collectanea’s Prologue. They can be considered «short», compared to the two long ones that precede them. The three of them share a series of common traits, whose analysis can shed light on the selection, as well as its transmission and meaning in the Cancionero de Llavia. Hence the documentary importance of these texts in 86*RL, with very complete versions, peferctly structured and with a unified thematic that provides relevant data in this regard.

En el Cancionero de Llavia se insertan tres poemas, uno de Sánchez de Talavera y dos de Gonzalo Martínez de Medina, con la rúbrica de dezires en el Prólogo de la colectánea.

Y los tres son coincidentes en una serie de rasgos comunes, cuyo análisis nos puede arrojar luz sobre la selección, así como su transmisión y significado en el Cancionero de Llavia. De ahí la importancia documental de estos textos en 86*RL, con versiones muy completas, perfectamente estructuradas y con una unicidad temática que aporta datos relevantes al respecto.
1922, Annus Mirabilis de la literatura: los vaivenes del canon, entre la retaguardia y la vanguardia
Authors: López-López Carmen María
Published: June 2023

1922 (2022), the latest novel by Antonio Rivero Taravillo, pays homage to different literary milestones that occurred in the annus mirabilis of literature, to recreate the aesthetic crossroads of a cultural context in which literary disputes between tradition and avant-garde appeared. This is a particularly rich year from the literary point of view with the publication of Ulysses by Joyce and The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot. Paris, as the European capital of great literary effervescence, brings together the lives of extraordinary personalities such as J. Joyce, T. S. Eliot or E. Pound. This study reflects on dynamic canonicity, critical reception, rearguard and avant-garde, and narrative simultaneity, in order to rethink the circuit of literary communication a century later.

Dolore, sventura e morte ne La selva di cipressi di Margherita Costa
Authors: García Aguilar Mónica
Published: June 2023

In the 17th century, the so-called lugubrious poetry constituted both a thematic and expressive renewal of the centuries-old Petrarchan tradition. From this moment on, lamenting the death of illustrious figures became one of the fixed themes characteristic of Baroque poetic anthologies. Margherita Costa's Selva di Cipressi is a clear example of this literary style. This poetic collection combines encomiastic poems composed for the death of illustrious personages of the time with other bucolic compositions. This contribution proposes an analysis not only of the lyrical style that Costa employs in her work, but also examines the socio-political and cultural context of the Medici Court that the Roman poetess wanted to show the 17th century audience.

Nel corso del XVII secolo, la poesia detta lugubre costituì sia dal punto di vista tematico che espressivo un vero rinnovamento della secolare tradizione petrarchesca. A partire da questo momento, il lamento per la morte di personaggi illustri si considerò una delle tematiche fisse caratteristiche delle antologie poetiche barocche. La Selva di Cipressi di Margherita Costa è un chiaro esempio di questo stile letterario. Questa raccolta poetica mette insieme poemi encomiastici composti per la morte di personaggi illustri dell’epoca con altri componimenti di argomento bucolico. Il presente contributo propone un’analisi non solo dello stile lirico che Costa impiega nella sua opera, ma prende in esame anche il contesto socio-politico e culturale della Corte medicea che la poetessa romana voleva mostrare al pubblico del XVII secolo.

La réécriture de soi dans l’autre ou l’expérimentation d’une nouvelle posture identitaire dans Harrouda de Tahar Ben Jelloun
Authors: Ourya Jalal
Published: June 2023

In Harrouda of Tahar Ben Jelloun, the rewriting of oneself in the other is intended as a form of self-apprehension. By placing himself between two codes, different from each other by their respective referents, Ben Jelloun digs a distance from the collective ego and tries to appropriate an equivalent self that is not grounded in the community culture. Aware that the test of otherness accomplished in the signs and referents specific to the mortgaged language can dig another gap in the being, Ben Jelloun in no way slows down the effort to remain himself by negotiating the acquisition of a new identity outside the roots where his people have forged their being.

En Harrouda de Tahar Ben Jelloun, la reescritura de uno mismo en el otro pretende ser un modo de autoaprehensión. Al situarse entre dos códigos, diferentes entre sí por sus respectivos referentes, Ben Jelloun se distancia del ego colectivo y trata de apropiarse de un yo equivalente que no está arraigado en la cultura comunitaria. Consciente de que la prueba de alteridad realizada en los signos y referentes propios de la lengua hipotecada puede cavar otro hueco en el ser, Ben Jelloun no frena en modo alguno el esfuerzo por seguir siendo él mismo negociando la adquisición de una nueva identidad fuera de las raíces donde vive su pueblo. han forjado su ser.

Dans Harrouda de Tahar Ben Jelloun, la réécriture de soi dans l’autre se veut un mode d’appréhension de soi. En se plaçant entre deux codes, différents l’un de l’autre par leurs référents respectifs, Ben Jelloun creuse une distance par rapport à l’ego collectif et tente de s’approprier un équivalent de soi non fondé dans la culture communautaire. Conscient que l’épreuve de l’altérité accomplie dans les signes et les référents propres à la langue hypothéquée peut creuser une autre béance dans l’être, Ben Jelloun ne ralentit en aucun cas l’effort de rester lui-même en négociant l’acquisition d’une nouvelle identité en dehors des racines où les siens ont forgé son être.

Entre les langues ou la question du plurilinguisme littéraire
Authors: Simões Marques Isabelle
Published: June 2023

We are interested in understanding the notion of literary plurilingualism through the experience of French-speaking writers. We problematize this notion through a narratological and enunciative perspective. We contextualize the practice of literary plurilingualism in different authors and we understand various facets of this literary practice from different perspectives. We will see that literary plurilingualism can have several functions. Through this problematization, we try to perceive how the writers consider the different languages present, what are the relationships they have with their primary tool and we will see the relationship between language(s) and literature. We will understand plurilingualism as a phenomenon linking languages to the novel. Finally, we question the linguistic and textual stakes by tackling the questions related to crossbreeding, hybridism and otherness but also heterolingualism, literary and textual diglossia as well as contrastive heteroglossia.

Nous souhaitons comprendre la notion de plurilinguisme littéraire à travers l’expérience d´écrivains de langue française. Nous problématisons cette notion à travers une perspective narratologique et énonciative. Nous mettons en contexte la pratique du plurilinguisme littéraire chez différents auteurs et nous appréhendons diverses facettes de cette pratique littéraire à travers différentes perspectives. Nous verrons que le plurilinguisme littéraire peut revêtir plusieurs fonctions. À travers cette problématisation, nous tentons de percevoir comment les écrivains envisagent les différentes langues en présence, quels sont les rapports quʼils entretiennent avec leur outil premier et nous verrons les rapports entre langue(s) et littérature. Nous appréhenderons le plurilinguisme comme un phénomène liant les langues au roman. Pour finir, nous nous questionnons sur les enjeux linguistiques et textuels en abordant les questions liées au métissage, à lʼhybridisme et à lʼaltérité mais aussi lʼhétérolinguisme, la diglossie littéraire et textuelle ainsi que lʼhétéroglossie contrastive.

Improvement Model of Navigational Safety for Inland Waterway Transport
Authors: Ha Huy-Tien , Ngo Lan , Pham Van-Chung , Nguyen Thanh-Liem
Published: June 2023

This paper aims at evaluating navigational safety for inland waterway transport (IWT). In doing so, the literature and operational features of IWT were initially reviewed to figure out risk elements (REs) influencing the navigational safety for IWT. After that, a fuzzy Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP) approach was adopted to estimate the weight for the likelihood and consequence measures of REs. Then, continuous risk matrix (RM) was introduced to identify REs' risk level. Lastly, to test the proposed research model's applicability, IWT operators across Vietnam were empirically surveyed. The empirical findings could be useful for IWT operators in launching managerial policies to boost their navigational safety. Furthermore, the proposed risk evaluation framework may serve as a methodological reference in relevant literature.
Vision Statements of Port Authorities: A Benchmark Comparison
Authors: De la Peña Zarzuelo Ignacio
Published: June 2023

Strategic Planning is a widely spread culture in international port environments. A correct formulation of a Vision Statement is one of the pillars of any Strategic Plan. Although hundreds of references are available and easily accessible on ports’ websites, there has not been any research analysing in-depth the content of this open information. A massive review of the Vision Statement of 169 Port Authorities has been carried out. This information has been compared with a benchmark group of 55 leading corporations operating in different sectors globally. Conclusions regarding the differences between the formulation of Vision Statements in public and private-oriented sectors are offered. Besides, a segmentation of the sample has been carried out in a way that conclusions over regional effects on Vision Statement’s formulation can also be drawn.
Characteristics of Grade R4 Steel Manufactured by Ingot Casting and Used in the Production of Offshore Mooring Chains
Authors: Mainier Fernando , Canto Milene , Meiriño Marcelo , Delesposte Jamile , Alencar-Junior André
Published: June 2023

The objective of this study is to characterise grade R4 steel manufactured by ingot casting that is used as the raw material for the production of offshore mooring chains. Rolled bars of grade R4 steel have been selected and metallographic analyses and micro hardness, tensile and Charpy V-notch impact tests performed. Tensile and Charpy V-notch impact tests have also been carried out on mooring links manufactured from the same grade R4 steel. Based on the results presented, the influence of the rolling reduction ratio of the bars and the influence of the ingot casting cooling and reheating process have been observed. Both factors have been found to increase product quality, particularly with respect to the central segregation and homogeneity of the rolled bars.
Ship Safety Officers' Perceptions and Attitudes Toward Near-Miss Management Systems
Authors: Hasanspahić Nermin , Vujičić Srđan , Mandušić Mario
Published: June 2023

Unlike learning from accidents, learning from near misses is based on events that caused no injuries or damage. Therefore, reporting and investigating near-miss events in shipping could be considered a more convenient means of reducing accidents and safety improvements than accident investigations. However, to facilitate learning from near misses, an adequate and efficient Near-Miss Management System must be implemented on board ship. Since ship Masters and Safety Officers are responsible for the efficiency of the Near-Miss Management System (NMMS) on the shipboard side, their attitudes and opinions on implemented systems might be considered indicators of its quality. Therefore, the questionnaire was developed and distributed among Masters and Safety Officers to collect their perceptions of and attitudes toward Near-Miss Management Systems. Furthermore, the paper aims to examine the relationship between the respondents' ranks (Masters and Safety Officers), the type of ship they are serving on, and their attitudes toward Near-Miss Management. The data analysis showed that most respondents are satisfied with the Near-Miss Management Systems implemented on their ships but consider near-misses underreported. Moreover, analysis results showed that there are no significant differences in attitudes towards NMMS between ranks and types of ships.
Investigating the Human Factor in Maritime Accidents: A Focus on Compass-Related Incidents
Authors: Brcko Tanja , Pavić Ivica , Mišković Jakša , Androjna Andrej
Published: June 2023

Accidents at sea can have devastating consequences, and investigating their causes is a complex and rigorous process. One of the most important factors contributing to these accidents is the human factor, which has received considerable attention from researchers in recent years. This article examines the role of the human factor in marine accidents, focusing the use and maintenance of compasses. Using data from scientific journals and safety analysis reports, the frequency and focus of research on this topic is analyzed and areas for further investigation are identified. International regulations, performance standards, and handling requirements relating to compasses are also discussed, and an analysis of compass-related accidents is presented. The survey conducted among seafarers indicates that they are satisfied with the performance of their compass, but there is a need for more advanced compass technologies and training on the proper use and maintenance of compasses. The survey shows that routine maintenance and calibration of compasses is crucial to minimize the possibility of human error and to prevent maritime accidents. In conclusion, we stress the importance of conducting further studies in this area taking into account the human factor in order to improve maritime safety measures.
ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF SPECIFIC FACTORS ON REAL ESTATE PRICES IN THE REPUBLIC OF SRPSKA
Authors: Stanković Dragan
Published: June 2023

The work deals with the analysis of the real estate market and the specificities of the formation of real estate prices in the Republic of Srpska. The specificity is reflected, among other things, in the definition of the market value of real estate if the prices are known from the sales contracts entered in the Real Estate Price Register (formed on the basis of supply and demand for apartments), the formation of value zones (location factor), the value tables (relational tables and value levels), the additional factors of influence (factor of the position of the apartment in the building) and equations for estimating the value of the real estate. The analysis was done using the CAMA algorithm. The research results show that real estate prices from the Real Estate Price Register and real estate prices calculated according to the CAMA algorithm are 70% accurate, i.e. they are within the permitted deviation interval of +,- 10 %, which means that the CAMA algorithm can also be used for real estates that have not been registered in the Real Estate Price Register yet.
FOOD INFLATION AND CHILD HEALTH IN AFRICA: EVIDENCE FROM COUNTRIES WITH HIGH MISERY INDEX
Authors: Ibikunle Joseph Afolabi , Oyerinola David Sunday , Tosin – Amos Aderonke Deborah
Published: June 2023

This paper investigates the effect of food price inflation on the public health improvement as measured in terms of life expectancy, infant mortality rate, under five mortality rate and neonatal mortality rate in six selected African countries with high misery index for the period from 2000 to 2020. The Augmented Mean Group and Common Correlated Estimation Mean Group were used to determine the effect, as well as Westerlund Cointegration tests. Our findings revealed that rising food prices have a significant detrimental effect on nourishment and consequently lead to higher levels of infant under five and neonatal mortality while reducing the expected life expectancy in the African countries. High food price inflation also has a long run effect on public health. The implication of the result shows that with high rate of food prices coupled with poor child health, the Sustainable Development Goals target of ending preventable deaths of newborns and children under age of 5, and the aim of having a neonatal mortality rate of 12 or fewer deaths per 1,000 live births, and an under-five mortality rate of 25 or fewer deaths per 1,000 live births, by 2030 may not be realistic. Therefore, African Governments should gear up efforts towards reducing food price inflation, improving health expenditure, per capita income and enabling environment for safe sanitation, especially for pregnant women and little children. Also, Governments should create enabling environment for sanitation and access to safe drinking water.

Ослушкујући потребе тржишта, као и потребу за увођењем ове врсте пословања у законске оквире, редактори будућег Грађанског законика Републике Србије који је сада у форми Нацрта први пут правно стандардизују уговор о франшизингу. Франшизинг као метод уговорног инвестиционог пословања присутан је на тржишту капитала Републике Србије, с тим да још има непознаница у погледу садржине уговора о франшизингу. У раду посебна пажња ће се посветити оним одредбама Нацрта који се односе се на: а) дефиницију уговора; б) предмет уговора; ц) регистрацију уговора; ц) под-франшизинг; д) одговорност даваоца франшизе; и е) goodwill. Ипак, без обзира на ставове и чињеницу да постоје примедбе на законску регулативу, предвиђање уговора о франшизингу у Нацрту законика представља значајан допринос и искорак ка правном нормирању уговора о франшизингу у Републици Србији.

Одређивање дјелатности која означава почетак извршења кривичног дјела је једно од најзначајнијих и најспорнијих питања кривичног права. Питање је значајно јер представља разграничење кажњивог од начелно некажњивог стадијума остварења кривичног дјела. Оно је исто тако и спорно због тога што не постоје јединствени критеријуми у одређењу линије демаркације. У евроконтиненталном кривичноправном систему одређење почетка извршења кривичног дјела нуде теорије. За разлику од наведеног, англосаксонско кривично право је особено из разлога што демаркацију види у тестовима, иако се и овдје могу пронаћи доктринарна схватања. Аутор у чланку анализира схватања/тестове који се односе на покушај кривичног дјела у англосаксонском кривичном праву.

In this paper, we intruduce the bivariate Padovan sequence we examine its various identities. We define the bivariate Padovan polynomials matrix. Then, we find the Binet formula, generating function and exponential generating function of the bivariate Padovan polynomials matrix. Also, we obtain a sum formula and its series representation.

Mitochondrial ATP production in ventricular cardiomyocytes must be continually adjusted to rapidly replenish the ATP consumed by the working heart. Two systems are known to be critical in this regulation: mitochondrial matrix Ca2+ ([Ca2+]m) and blood flow that is tuned by local cardiomyocyte metabolic signaling. However, these two regulatory systems do not fully account for the physiological range of ATP consumption observed. We report here on the identity, location, and signaling cascade of a third regulatory system -- CO2/bicarbonate. CO2 is generated in the mitochondrial matrix as a metabolic waste product of the oxidation of nutrients. It is a lipid soluble gas that rapidly permeates the inner mitochondrial membrane and produces bicarbonate in a reaction accelerated by carbonic anhydrase. The bicarbonate level is tracked physiologically by a bicarbonate-activated soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC). Using structural Airyscan super-resolution imaging and functional measurements we find that sAC is primarily inside the mitochondria of ventricular cardiomyocytes where it generates cAMP when activated by bicarbonate. Our data strongly suggest that ATP production in these mitochondria is regulated by this cAMP signaling cascade operating within the inter-membrane space by activating local EPAC1 (Exchange Protein directly Activated by cAMP) which turns on Rap1 (Ras-related protein-1). Thus, mitochondrial ATP production is increased by bicarbonate-triggered sAC-signaling through Rap1. Additional evidence is presented indicating that the cAMP signaling itself does not occur directly in the matrix. We also show that this third signaling process involving bicarbonate and sAC activates the mitochondrial ATP production machinery by working independently of, yet in conjunction with, [Ca2+]m-dependent ATP production to meet the energy needs of cellular activity in both health and disease. We propose that the bicarbonate and calcium signaling arms function in a resonant or complementary manner to match mitochondrial ATP production to the full range of energy consumption in ventricular cardiomyocytes.
Role of the postinspiratory complex in regulating swallow–breathing coordination and other laryngeal behaviors

Breathing needs to be tightly coordinated with upper airway behaviors, such as swallowing. Discoordination leads to aspiration pneumonia, the leading cause of death in neurodegenerative disease. Here, we study the role of the postinspiratory complex (PiCo) in coordinating breathing and swallowing. Using optogenetic approaches in freely breathing anesthetized ChATcre:Ai32, Vglut2cre:Ai32 and intersectional recombination of ChATcre:Vglut2FlpO:ChR2 mice reveals PiCo mediates airway protective behaviors. Activation of PiCo during inspiration or the beginning of postinspiration triggers swallow behavior in an all-or-nothing manner, while there is a higher probability for stimulating only laryngeal activation when activated further into expiration. Laryngeal activation is dependent on stimulation duration. Sufficient bilateral PiCo activation is necessary for preserving the physiological swallow motor sequence since activation of only a few PiCo neurons or unilateral activation leads to blurred upper airway behavioral responses. We believe PiCo acts as an interface between the swallow pattern generator and the preBötzinger complex to coordinate swallow and breathing. Investigating PiCo’s role in swallow and laryngeal coordination will aid in understanding discoordination with breathing in neurological diseases.

5-Methylcytosine (5mC) and DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are broadly conserved in eukaryotes but are also frequently lost during evolution. The mammalian SNF2 family ATPase HELLS and its plant ortholog DDM1 are critical for maintaining 5mC. Mutations in HELLS, its activator CDCA7, and the de novo DNA methyltransferase DNMT3B, cause immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome, a genetic disorder associated with the loss of DNA methylation. We here examine the coevolution of CDCA7, HELLS and DNMTs. While DNMT3, the maintenance DNA methyltransferase DNMT1, HELLS, and CDCA7 are all highly conserved in vertebrates and green plants, they are frequently co-lost in other evolutionary clades. The presence-absence patterns of these genes are not random; almost all CDCA7 harboring eukaryote species also have HELLS and DNMT1 (or another maintenance methyltransferase, DNMT5). Coevolution of presence-absence patterns (CoPAP) analysis in Ecdysozoa further indicates coevolutionary linkages among CDCA7, HELLS, DNMT1 and its activator UHRF1. We hypothesize that CDCA7 becomes dispensable in species that lost HELLS or DNA methylation, and/or the loss of CDCA7 triggers the replacement of DNA methylation by other chromatin regulation mechanisms. Our study suggests that a unique specialized role of CDCA7 in HELLS-dependent DNA methylation maintenance is broadly inherited from the last eukaryotic common ancestor.

Background

Women’s undernutrition during pregnancy increases the risks and burdens of maternal and neonatal morbidity, death, and disability through its vicious cycles of irreversible intergenerational negative effects. Despite the high burden of maternal undernutrition during pregnancy in semi-pastoral communities of eastern Ethiopia, there is a paucity of information on its major risk factors. This study revealed determinants of acute undernutrition among pregnant women attending primary healthcare units in Chinaksen district in rural eastern Ethiopia.

Method

A facility-based case-control study was conducted among 113 cases and 113 controls in Chinaksen district from February 01 to March 30, 2017. Data were entered using EpiData version 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 24. Multivariable logistic regression analyses conducted to identify significant determinants of acute undernutrition. Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% confidence interval was used to report the strength of association and statistical significance declared at p value < 0.05.

Results

Sixty (53.1%) of cases and 56 (49.6%) of controls were in the age group of 25-34 years and their mean ± SD age of cases and controls were 26.6 ± 5.7 and 28 ± 5.5 years, respectively. In this study, larger family size (AOR = 6.98, 95 CI [2.82–17.27]), lack of prenatal dietary advice (AOR = 3.68, 95% CI [1.67–8.00]), did not participate in a cooking demonstration (AOR = 5.41, 95% CI [2.39–12.24]), used substances (AOR = 3.65, 95% CI [1.30–10.23]), absence of basic latrine (AOR = 2.91, 95% CI [1.28–6.58]), low minimum dietary diversity of women (AOR = 2.48, 95% CI [1.20–5.12]), and household food insecurity (AOR = 3.06, 95% CI [1.44–6.51]) were significantly increased the odds of acute undernutrition among pregnant women.

Conclusions

The study revealed that living in crowded families, lack prenatal dietary advice, did not participate in cooking demonstrations, substances use; lack of toilet, low minimum dietary diversity, and household food insecurity were significant risk factors for acute undernutrition among pregnant women. Strengthening multi-sectoral approaches through improving dietary diversity/quality and food access/quantity would be essential to prevent, and reduce the risks, burdens, and impacts of maternal undernutrition during pregnancy.

Entrepreneurship is critical to economic progress. Entrepreneurs act as catalysts in the industrialization and economic growth processes. The entrepreneurial achieving is characterized by high uncertainty, ambiguity, time pressure, emotional intensity, and risk, all of which can have a significant impact on how entrepreneurs evaluate specific situations and make decisions. In addition, making decisions and prioritizing them is crucial in entrepreneurial context. This study aims to identify and prioritize the potential decisions for sustainable development of sago cluster through Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM). ISM assists in obtaining qualitative data rather than quantifiable aspects as a result of modelling. Ten drivers of decisions were finalized after expert’s consultation. The interaction between drivers was developed. The study's findings will assist entrepreneurs in developing methods to promote growth of firms in Sago cluster.
