Published: October 2021

The aim of this study is to determine the views of candidate science teachers about environmental problems and solutions to these problems. One of the qualitative research designs, phenomenology, was used in the research. Data were collected with a semi-structured interview form developed by the researcher. In the analysis of the research, a descriptive analysis technique was used. The study was carried out with 19 science teacher candidates. When definitions of the environment are examined, it is as “the environment in which living and non-living beings interact, the area where living things live, the artificial environment-natural environment.” Candidate teachers identified air pollution as the most important environmental problem. They stated that environmental problems occur due to production, consumption, both production and consumption and natural reasons. Candidate teachers discussed solution proposals of environmental problems individually, professionally, socially, and administratively. In individual solution proposals, it is recommended to use public transport, to encourage afforestation, to consume resources economically, to reduce the use of perfume-deodorants and fossil fuels, and to raise awareness with experiments, activities, visual and practical solutions under professional solution suggestions. When social solution suggestions are examined, it is stated that to raise awareness; it is necessary to produce visual and artistic activities, meetings, training, and projects, to be engaged in conscious agriculture in managerial solution offers, to use renewable energy sources, to recycle, to build industrial establishments outside of residential areas, to establish treatment facilities, and to install and inspect filters in factory chimneys.

Published: October 2021

The main purpose of this study is to examine the effect of teaching through the “Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) Model” on the reading comprehension skills at primary fourth grade. As a consequence, it was concluded in the study that the pre-test means were close to each other in the experimental and control group and that the experimental group had a higher mean than the control group in the post-test mean scores. Moreover, no significant difference was obtained between the experimental and control groups regarding the pre-tests. Still, a significant difference was obtained in favour of the experimental group for the post-tests. On the other hand, whereas it was determined that there was no significant difference between the experimental and control group for the pre-tests of Reading Comprehension and Main Theme Determination scales, there was a significant difference in favour of the experimental group for the post-tests and gain levels. It was also concluded that the value p which corresponded to Z=0,58 in the Pearson Product-Moment equation was 0.082 (p>0,05), and considering that the result was not significant, the pre-test/ post-test prediction level was not significant, and the power degree of the correlation between them did not present a significant difference.

This type of research is ethnographic qualitative. Data was collected by observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis used is qualitative data analysis through the reduction stage, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the strategy adopted was an adaptation strategy, and a job diversification strategy by empowering fisherwomen and women-headed households (WKRT) of fishermen, both related to fishing and outside activities. Job diversification opportunities have a dependence on nature that provides resources, so that resource potential is optimized in job diversification alternatives. The diversity of characteristics of the natural environment that each fisherman has. Fishing for fishermen's households is a speculative activity, therefore, fishermen always have an uncertain income. Women become an important part in fulfilling the needs of household life because of the system based on the division of labor. The research implication is that the government, stakeholders and other communities can work together with each other to build policies, or go directly to build fishing villages that are low-income

Published: October 2021

The vast coverage of woodlands in the southeast United States offers a great opportunity for grazing small ruminants. However, not much attention has been given to utilize these resources well. The objectives of the current study were to evaluate the potential of increasing the a) light influx to the woodland floor and b) understory vegetation biomass by altering the height of non-timber (non-pine) plants. The study was conducted in six woodland plots (0.4-ha each) consisting of southern pines, hardwoods, and numerous understory plant species. The non-pine plants were either left uncut (control) or cut to one of the heights from the ground: 0 m, 0.9 m, and 1.5 m (treatments) in summer 2016. Kiko wethers (8) and Katahdin rams (5-6) were rotationally stocked in the study plots (3 plots per animal species) during 2017 and 2018. Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) data were collected before and after stocking animals and the understory vegetation biomass samples were collected before stocking animals in the study plots. The PAR influx in areas that received cutting treatments increased by 413-1723% when measured before grazing, and by 543-2223% when measured after grazing compared to the control. Similarly, the productivity of understory vegetation biomass was 36-107% greater in the cutting treatment areas compared to the control. The findings suggest that the maintenance of non-pine plants at low heights can significantly increase the PAR influx to the woodland floor, thereby enhancing the productivity of understory vegetation and grazing opportunity for small ruminants.

Authors: Jannah Binti Shofiatul , Triyuwono Iwan , Mulawarman Aji Dedi , Hariadi Bambang
Published: October 2021

Objective - Accounting has been defined as the art of recording since it is trapped at a technical level. However, accounting as a symbol have different meanings for different people depending on one's interests, goals, knowledge, and perspectives. The aim of this study was to better understand the meaning of accounting in religious organizations, especially in pesantren (Indonesian Islamic boarding schools).

Methodology/Technique - In the interpretive paradigm, this study uses Husserl's transcendental phenomenological theory. Data analysis begins with identifying noema (texture analysis), then obtaining noesis through bracketing (structural analysis). Furthermore, understanding the noema-noesis relationship results in deliberate analysis. Finally, the whole process of generating pure consciousness is called eidetic reduction.

Findings - Each informant has a different meaning to accounting depending on individual experience. Beyond materialism, the meaning of accounting is fascinating. According to the findings of the study, accounting has two meanings: first, accounting is ikhlas (sincere), and second, accounting is a discipline.

Novelty - Accounting will not be separated from theology and spirituality, especially accounting applied in religious organizations. Based on the experience of "I", accounting has a different meaning from conventional accounting.

Type of Paper - Empirical.

Keywords: Accounting; Interpretive; Pesantren; Transcendental Phenomenology.

Надежность и экологическая безопасность являются основными требованиями, предъявляемыми к системам водоснабжения и водоотведения. Трубопроводные системы – неотъемлемая часть инфраструктуры современных городов. Нарушения нормального уровня работы этих систем связаны в основном с авариями (отказами) на участках трубопроводов – наиболее функционально значимых, дорогостоящих и уязвимых элементов систем. Нарастающие темпы износа и неудовлетворительное техническое состояние значительного количества трубопроводов водоснабжения и водоотведения большинства городов и поселений России, ограничение в условиях реформирования жилищно-коммунального хозяйства России материальных ресурсов на их восстановление и обновление требуют научно обоснованного подхода к решению проблемы оценки и обеспечения их надежности. Отмечено, что до настоящего времени в отечественной практике накопление и использование статистических материалов, необходимых для определения показателей надежности элементов систем водоснабжения и водоотведения, а также планирование их восстановления организованы неудовлетворительно. Приведены методы оценки надежности трубопроводов, методика планирования их восстановления с использованием компъютерной программы, критерии выбора объектов восстановления трубопроводов и пути повышения их надежности.

Reliability and environmental safety are the main requirements for water supply and wastewater disposal systems. Pipeline systems are an integral part of the infrastructure of modern cities. Malfunctions of these systems are mainly associated with failures in pipeline sections, that are the most functionally significant, expensive and vulnerable elements of the systems. The increasing rates of wear and unsatisfactory technical condition of a significant number of water pipelines and sewers in most cities and communities of Russia, the limited material resources for their rehabilitation and renovation in the context of reforming the housing services and public utilities of Russia require a scientifically based approach to solving the problem of assessing and ensuring their reliability. It is noted that up to now, in domestic practice, the accumulation and use of statistics for determining the reliability indicators of the elements of water supply and wastewater disposal systems, as well as planning their rehabilitation, have been arranged unsatisfactorily. Methods for assessing the reliability of pipelines, a methodology for planning their rehabilitation using a software application, criteria for selecting objects for pipeline renovation and ways to improve their reliability are presented.

Published: October 2021

The target for this community service program is a resident of Jl. Parikesit RT 05 RW 03 Dusun Picis, Balongdowo Village, Candi District, Sidoarjo Regency. He had a work accident in one of the industries in the city of Sidoarjo in 2010 on the left wrist up to the fingers, so the doctor suggested amputation. He is actually still in his productive age (36 years old) but because of this situation, he is unable to carry out activities in the world of work and has decreased confidence in himself and avoids socializing in society. The purpose of this community partnership program (PKM) activity is to apply 3d printing technology in the manufacture of prosthetic hands for people who have transradial amputations as an effort to improve the quality of life. The implementation methods used are: a) the measurement of several physical parameters on the amputee such as the diameter of the arm circumference, the length of the amputated part, weight and height. In addition to physical parameters, we also carry out medical measurements, including obtaining information on health conditions such as blood pressure, heart health and blood glucose levels, b) designing prosthetic hands using 3D application programs and 3D printers, c) mechanical and functional testing for perform basic movements in the form of opening and closing the palms, d) monitoring and evaluation of the use of prosthetic hands. The results obtained from this activity are that the patient can use the prosthetic hand to assist with activities in carrying out daily activities. In this PKM activity, amputees have been tested, namely the movement of holding a mineral water bottle, holding a banana, peeling a banana peel and driving a two-wheeled motorized vehicle. Monitoring shows that patients need regular exercise in using prosthetic hands so that they are able to control and condition their use. In the future, several developments can be made, including in terms of control and size of the prosthetic hand so that patients can feel the benefits of a prosthetic hand that functions like a normal hand.

Effect of Confining Pressures on the Dynamic Response Characteristics of Niger Delta Clay Soils
Authors: Okovido J. O. , Kennedy C.
Published: October 2021

The study investigated the earthquake potential in Niger Delta region of Nigeria. A series of resonant column and bender element test was performed on compacted clay soil samples across the investigated Niger Delta States, which showed the influence of confinement on frequency, shear modulus, shear velocity and damping ratio. The confinement in clay was high. The frequency response increases with pressure increase. Also, the resonance column test at various confinements revealed changes in shear modulus, accelerometer output and damping ratio. Thus, there was high variation in the test parameters as confinement pressure was increased. Similarly, the bender element tests also showed that pressure has effect on shear wave-velocity, shear modulus and damping ratio confinement. Although, unlike Resonance Column tests, the shear modulus and shear wave-velocity generally increased as confinement pressure was increased, while for damping ratio it decreases as confinement pressure was increased. The variations in resonance column/binder element test parameters showed that the Niger Delta region, as an oil and gas area, is susceptible to earthquake. Therefore, continuous monitoring of oil exploration activities must be put in place.

Authors: Omoregie G.O. , Ikhajiagbe B.
Published: October 2021

The present study investigated the accumulation of selected HMs by Chromolaena odorata and the concomitant effects on leaf anatomical features. Top soils were collected from a marked plot and pooled together to obtain a composite sample. The soil was sun-dried to constant weight and measured into experimental pots at 20kg each). The pots were divided into 5 metal groups with 3 sub-groups each. Each group was polluted with Manganese (Mn), Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb) and Zinc (Zn) in their respective chloride forms. Concentrations of the metals in the soil were initially based on their respective ecological screening value/benchmark (ESV). The ESV values for the 5 HMs were 50, 4, 100, 50 and 50 mg/kg respectively. Within each group, the respective HMs was applied in 3 concentrations of 1ESV, 3ESV and 5ESV. The control experiment consisted of plants grown in soils with no exogenous application of the test metals. The experiment was triplicated. Twenty hours later, equal sized stem cuttings of C. odorata (2.0 – 2.3cm in thickness, 30 cm in length) were planted per experimental pot. Six months later, results showed significant accumulation of metals in plant stem, leaves, and most especially the root. Mn was the most accumulated HM in all plant parts (9.22 – 17.86 mg/kg), compared to Cd (0.85 – 1.66 mg/kg).Significant changes in folial anatomy were reported in HM-impacted plants compared to the control. There were more upper epidermal stomata (270 – 353 mm2) in Mn-exposed plants compared to the others. Increase in vascular bundle thickness (p<0.01) was reported in HM-exposed plants compared to control. Highly significant decrease in stem parenchyma thickness (p<0.01) never the less parenchyma thickness of HM-exposed plants ranged from 46.37 – 49.53 µm in Zn and Pb-exposed plants compared to 79.23 µm in the control.

Published: October 2021

Madrasah diniyah merupakan lembaga pendidikan yang memberikan pendidikan dan pengajaran secara klasikal yang bertujuan untuk memberi tambahan pengetahuan agama islam. Sebelum masuk pada kelas madrasah diniyah terdapat ujian menentukan kelas atau seleksi. Ujian seleksi sering dikenal dengan istilah “ujian saringan” atau “ujian masuk”. Namun, ujian seleksi di Pondok Pesantren Tarbiyatul Khoirot ini diterapkan bukan untuk menerima atau menolak santri yang akan mendaftar di pondok melainkan untuk mengukur sejauh mana kemampuan dan pemahaman seorang santri, yang hasilnya digunakan untuk menentukan kelas Madrasah Diniyah sesuai tingkatan kemampuan dan pemahaman santri baru tersebut. Oleh karena itu, mengingat waktu pelaksaan ujian yang tidak menentu serta kurang efisien baik dari segi kualitas, kepraktisan, kecepatan dan kemudahan maka dibuatlah “Sistem Informasi Penentuan Kelas Santri Baru Berbasis Web Pada Pondok Pesantren Tarbiyatul Khoirot”.

A modalidade de Ensino a Distância (EaD) busca facilitar o acesso e a democratização a todos que procuram por qualificação ou continuidade dos estudos. Aliada à extensão universitária, pode se tornar uma excelente ferramenta para promover a educação continuada nos ambientes de trabalho. O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar a experiência da equipe de docentes e discentes do Curso Superior de Tecnologia em Radiologia e do Mestrado Profissional em Proteção Radiológica do Instituto Federal de Santa Catarina em parceria com o Instituto de Cardiologia do Hospital Homero de Miranda Gomes, de São José/SC, durante a primeira oferta de um curso de capacitação via EaD para equipe multidisciplinar do serviço de Medicina Nuclear. Trata-se de um relato de experiência sobre o desenvolvimento e a operacionalização de um curso de extensão universitária. Dos 307 indivíduos inscritos no curso, 113 não chegaram a iniciá-lo, 77 participantes acessaram o cronograma de aula, assistiram ao vídeo de boas-vindas ao curso, mas não assistiram às videoaulas e tampouco realizaram alguma avaliação, e 116 alunos realizaram todas as avaliações propostas e concluíram o curso. Apenas 1 aluno realizou as avaliações e não atingiu a média 6,0, sendo reprovado. A ação de extensão promoveu a interação entre discentes da educação superior, da pós-graduação, docentes e comunidade externa em nível nacional e internacional. Dessa maneira, ocorreu a consolidação da cultura extensionista na educação superior e o despertar da pós-graduação para a necessidade de uma integração com a sociedade por meio da extensão.
