Authors: Prameswari Andedes , Rohman Hadi Abdul , Ruslandi Ruslandi
Published: January 2022

The function and role of the mosque which was carried out by the Prophet Muhammad when he first founded the mosque, that is, apart from being a place of worship, it is also a place of education. Based on the researcher's observations from the preliminary study conducted, the mosque at SMPN 17 Bandung is highly optimized and used as a laboratory for Islamic religious education in the midst of other junior high schools that already have a special laboratory for Islamic religious education. The problem is, how is the effectiveness of the management of the mosque as a laboratory for Islamic religious education at SMPN 17 Bandung, which encourages the author to conduct research on this matter. This study aims to (1) describe the profile of the mosque, (2) describe the effectiveness of planning, organizational effectiveness, implementation effectiveness, and effectiveness of supervision of mosque management as a laboratory for Islamic religious education. This research starts from the idea that achievement in managing mosques as Islamic Education laboratories can be measured through 4 aspects, namely planning, organizing, implementing and monitoring which will be used as a measure of the effectiveness of mosque management. This research uses a qualitative approach, the research method is descriptive, with the type of research being field research. Which is located at SMPN 17 Bandung. Data collection techniques using observation, in-depth interviews and documentation. The result of the research is that the effectiveness of mosque management as an Islamic religious education laboratory can be said to be quite effective with the running of each planned program, although there are still some that are less than optimal in technical implementation, such as in organizing in terms of the person in charge still lacking human resources but does not hinder the activities. In terms of implementing the activities, everything went well, only because of the large number of students, the activities carried out in the mosque were only certain programs, and the researchers focused on activities that went well in the mosque. For supervision, teachers and related parties in the ongoing activities take attendance before starting and directly monitor the course of activities by paying attention to students who do not participate in activities

Introduction
How I manage resistant melasma?
Authors: Garg Suruchi , Tuknayat Ankita , Hans Titiksha
Published: January 2022

Melasma is a cosmetic disorder with profound psychological impact. Multiple therapies are available for melasma but no therapy is the gold standard. The most of the patients suffer from relapses and recurrences which force the patient to opt for over-the-counter medications containing topical steroids or indigenous medications. Use of these has led to the emergence of complicated cases of melasma which are refractory to the treatment. Along with hyperpigmentation, such patients also have steroid-induced side effects such as rosacea, atrophy of skin, and telangiectasia. Many patients develop exogenous ochronosis due to prolonged use of hydroquinone-based therapies. The present article focuses on the management of these cases of melasma.
Do older adult cancer survivors experience worse health-related quality of life in comparison to middle-aged cancer survivors? A secondary data analysis of the 2014 behavioral risk factor surveillance study
Authors: Vang Suzanne Sharry
Published: January 2022

Objectives: The primary aim of this paper was to examine the potential differences in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) between middle-aged (45–64 years old) and older adult (65 years and older) cancer survivors utilizing the contextual model of health-related quality of life.

Methods and Materials: The author conducted a secondary data analysis of the 2014 behavioral risk factor surveillance system cancer survivorship module survey. Only respondents age 45 and older were included, resulting in n = 5656.

Results: Older adult cancer survivors reported significantly better physical and mental HRQOL than middle-aged cancer survivors. In regard to physical HRQOL, respondents who were older adults, employed, completed treatment, and exercised recently were more likely to report good physical HRQOL. Respondents with comorbid conditions and those with greater years since diagnosis were more likely to report poor HRQOL. In regard to mental HRQOL, respondents who were older, married, or had completed treatment were more likely to have good mental HRQOL. Respondents who were unemployed, had experienced financial cost as a barrier to care, had stroke or chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, or a history of depression were more likely to report poor mental HRQOL.

Conclusion: Older adult cancer survivors experience better mental and physical HRQOL compared to their middle-aged counterparts. Efforts to improve HRQOL in cancer survivors should include middle-aged adults as well as cancer survivors who are unmarried, still in treatment, or have comorbidities. Greater research is needed to better understand how age differentially affects HRQOL in persons with a cancer history.

Dinamika Psikologis Pembelajaran Blended Learning
Authors: Alucyana Alucyana
Published: January 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic has changed many lines of life, both economic, social and educational. The economic sector suffered massive losses. Several transportation companies were forced to ground their fleets due to this pandemic. In the social sector, there are also social restrictions. The government appeals to the public to limit activities outside the home with the aim of breaking the chain of the spread of Covid 19. Another sector that has also been affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic is the world of Education. Distance learning with an online system must be done so that learning continues. One of the learning models used in distance learning is Blended Learning. This learning is considered effective to adjust in this Pandemic period. Even though it is indicated, even though this Pandemic disaster is over, the Blended Learning learning model can still be used, given the increasingly rapid development of technology. It's just that the implementation of the blended learning learning model also leaves problems to be solved. Psychological dynamics occur for teachers, parents and students. The teacher becomes worried whether the learning that the teacher conveys has reached the target for the students. Parents also become anxious, because they are limited in using technology and have to accompany their children while studying. Students also become bored because they have to use electronic media such as cellphones, computers and others every day. This article aims to describe theoretically about Psychological Dynamics in Blended Learning.
Local order in AgAuCuPdPt high entropy alloy surfaces
Authors: Kristoffersen Henrik , Rossmeisl Jan
Published: January 2022

Synthesis of high entropy alloys often involve heating precursors to above 1000°C such that entropy stabilization takes effect. The resulting alloys are characterized by random element distribution at the bulk lattice positions. Surfaces may however be more ordered, even at high temperatures. We explore the local order at (111), (100) and (533) surfaces of the equimolar fcc AgAuCuPdPt high entropy alloy at high temperatures and thermal equilibrium. We find that the local order is significantly increased at the (100) surface and to a lesser extend at the (533) and (111) surfaces compared to bulk AgAuCuPdPt. The (100) surface both segregates with increased amount of Au and Ag and less Pd and Pt and have a more ordered distribution of nearest neighbor atom pairs. The (111) surface segregates with increased amounts of Au and Ag and less Cu, Pd and Pt, but the nearest neighbor distribution is mostly random. The (100) type step edge of the (533) surface resemble the (100) surface. The degree of surface order seems linked to the structure ensemble’s energy distribution width, so we suggest that the width can be used to estimate the degree of order in high entropy alloys with minimal computational efforts.

Authors: Silander Daniel
Published: January 2022

In 2015, the United Nations (UN) decided on 17 sustainable development goals. Goal 16 focused on peace, justice and strong institutions and on the importance of democracy for global sustainable development. This study explores the status of democracy in Europe and highlights tendencies of authoritarianism in some post-communist states. This happens in a global context of resurgence of autocratization. Although the European Union (EU) continues to be a solid liberal democratic order, challenges in post-communist Europe exist, especially in Hungary as a new authoritarian state within the EU.

The main properties of this class are derived and investigated . The moment method and least square method are used to obtain estimators of parameters of this distribution. The probability density function,   survival function, cumulative distribution and hazard function are derived and found. Real data sets are collected to investigate two methods that depend on in this study. A comparison is made between two methods of estimation and clarifies that MLE method is better than the OLS method by using the mean squares error.
The Effect of Individuals Asymptomatic (Carrier) on The Dynamical Behavior Of a COVID-19 Virus
Authors: AL-Husseiny Hassan F. , Mohsen Ahmed A. , Zhou Xueyong
Published: January 2022

In this paper, a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) model is proposed and investigated. In fact, the pandemic spread through a close contact between infected people and other people but sometimes the infected people could show two cases; the first is symptomatic and the other is asymptomatic (carrier) as the source of the risk. The outbreak of Covid-19 virus is described by a mathematical model dividing the population into four classes. The first class represents the susceptible people who are unaware of the disease. The second class refers to the susceptible people who are aware of the epidemic by media coverage. The third class is the carrier individuals (asymptomatic) and the fourth class represents the infected individuals. The existence, uniqueness and bounded-ness of the solutions of the model are discussed. All possible equilibrium points are determined. The locally asymptotically stable of the model is studied. Suitable Lyapunov functions are used to investigate the globally asymptotical stability of the model. Finally, numerical simulation is carried out to confirm the analytical results and to understand the effect of varying the parameters of how the disease spreads.

The industry is going through a critical transition that’s changing and has partly already changed the rules of the game. The dimensions along which firms are competing are changing, and the industry’s complexity is continuously increasing. In this scenario, inter-organizational relationships emerge as a key factor to face uncertainty and change, pursuing efficiency and competitiveness goals.
From Paris to Dublin: Domestic Politics and the Treaty of Lisbon
Authors: Carbone Maurizio
Published: January 2022

This article discusses the domestic politics of treaty reform in the European Union, from the failed referendum on the Constitutional Treaty held in France in May 2005 to the failed referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon held in Ireland in June 2008. A meticulous examination of the national level, it is argued here, helps us to better understand the European level and why some Member States manage to influence outcomes more than it would be expected. In particular, this article looks at the role played by actors beyond national governments, the impact of the political system and the general context on preference formation and inter-state bargaining, and the use that national negotiators made of ratification hurdles to receive extra concessions. More generally, by looking at the preparatory, negotiation and ratification process of the Treaty of Lisbon, this article aims to make a contribution to an emerging literature, which argues that we can no longer explain the evolution of the European Union without understanding the increased politicisation of the European project.
Predatory Publications in the Era of the Internet and Technology: Open Access Publications are at Risk
Authors: Kumar Akhilesh , Gupta Ravi , Kant Tripathi Krishna , Ranjan Singh Rajani
Published: January 2022

This article is intended to highlight the issue of predatory journals and how they have been used to degrade the open-access journals to be perceived as predatory ones. Since many of the predatory journals are available for readers free of cost over the internet (which is among one of the many features of open-access journals/publications), the international wave of the scientific community against predatory journals stigmatized and victimized the entire open-access model of scientific publication to be perceived as substandard quality. This article critically analyzes the definitions of predatory journals and identified key characteristics of predatory journals. It is observed that lack of peer-review and charging high Article Processing Charges (APC) from authors are the two most common features of predatory journals, whereas open-access journals strictly adhere to peer-review criteria and have a clear guideline and information about the article processing fee. Knowingly or unknowingly, several authors mentioned that predatory journals are mostly open access, an overgeneralization of the author pay model upon which open access lies. Peer-review is an essential component of open access journals but not predatory journals; thus, considering predatory journals under the broad notion of open-access model of publication is unfair, stigmatizing and victimizing the open-access journals and keeping them at risk of degradation. Associating open-access journals with predatory ones is a nuisance as both have different aims, modus-operandi, and quality concerns. Therefore, there is a dire need to make policies to discourage predatory practices without victimizing the noble idea of open-access journals/publications. Keywords: open access, predatory journals, article processing charges, peer-review

Authors: Cacciatore Michael A. , Meng Juan
Published: January 2022

This research is motivated to advance our understanding of measurement challenges in communication practice and coping strategies from a global perspective. To do so, we relied on data from a global online survey of communication practitioners in more than 20 countries, which result in five country clusters for final analysis and comparisons. Communication practitioners across investigated country clusters shared different strategies used to cope with measurement challenges. Our results also confirmed that certain leadership qualities (i.e., strategic decision-making, possessing communication knowledge) are particularly important in managing measurement challenges. Our findings provide solutions, leadership skills, and prioritization to improve the measurement of communication effectiveness.

Published: January 2022

Police narrative reports are critical in assisting the investigation officer in uncovering hidden information during the criminal investigation process. In recent years, detecting criminal linkages by locating modus operandi in a massive volume of unstructured police reports has become a significant challenge. Here have been few studies on text classification in the Malay language due to some limitations that need to be addressed. Text classification is the process of properly categorizing text into a set of categories. In this study, classification techniques are used to predict the class of modus operandi for housebreaking crime documents using a Malay crime dataset. The dataset used in this study for housebreaking crime is a real dataset from the Royal Police Department of Malaysia. The purpose of this paper is to compare the accuracy of the K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) and Naive Bayes algorithms for classifying Malay Crime Reports based on their mode of operation. The experiment results show that Naïve Bayes achieved a high accuracy rate of 97.86% with a 9 second execution time, whereas KNN achieved an accuracy rate of 88.43% with a 48 second execution time.
A New Ecosystem of Czech Documentary Production in the 90s
Authors: Lanšperková Jitka
Published: January 2022

The paradoxical relations between Czech documentary filmmakers and institutions established after the Velvet revolution are identified as key aspects of a new ecosystem characterizing Czech documentary in the 90s. This paper focuses on the field which – together with the Czech film industry as a whole – lost state support in 1989. The documentaries were produced only due to efforts of individual entrepreneurs who started their own film businesses, although such activity remained illegal till 1993. Also, young FAMU students started to develop a new structure for supporting Czech documentary production in the late 90s. The main methodology of the paper relies on Bruno Latour’s actor-network theory, enriched by the ethnographic approach of John Caldwell, using semi-structured interviews with key personnel and analysing un/published texts. Emotional layers of interviews and personal relationships are considered as the most important attributes for the articulation of key paradoxes and conflicts within the Czech documentary field.
A cseh dokumentumfilm-gyártás új ökoszisztémája a kilencvenes években
Authors: Lanšperková Jitka
Published: January 2022

A kilencvenes években kialakuló cseh dokumentumfilmes ökoszisztéma lényege azon ellentmondásos viszonyokban ragadható meg, amelyek a cseh dokumentumfilm-készítők és az intézmények között jöttek létre a bársonyos forradalom után. A jelen írás fókuszában álló terület, a dokumentumfilm-gyártás, a cseh filmipar egészével együtt 1989-ben elveszített minden állami támogatást. Dokumentumfilmek ezt követően csak újonnan megjelenő filmgyártó magánvállalkozók erőfeszítései révén keletkeztek, bár tevékenységük jogilag tisztázatlan maradt egészen 1993-ig. Emellett a kilencvenes évek végén a FAMU ifjú hallgatói felléptek a cseh dokumentumfilm-gyártás új támogatási struktúrájának mihamarabbi kidolgozásának ügyéért. A tanulmány módszertanilag elsősorban Bruno Latour cselekvő-hálózat-elméletére támaszkodik, amelyet John Caldwell etnográfiai szemléletű megközelítésével egészít ki, és kulcspozíciókban dolgozó személyekkel készített, félig strukturált interjúk, valamint nyilvános és nem nyilvános szövegek elemzésén alapul. Az interjúkban és személyközi kapcsolatokban feltárt érzelmi rétegek a kilencvenes évekbeli cseh dokumentumfilmes közeg paradox helyzeteinek és konfliktusainak legfontosabb jellegzetességeiként rajzolódnak ki.
Bársonyos (re)generáció: Az új szlovák dokumentarizmus az ezredforduló után
Authors: Péter Gerencsér
Published: January 2022

A tanulmány az „új szlovák dokumentarizmus” fogalmának bevezetésével azokat a dokufikciókat vizsgálja, amelyek közvetlen alapjait az úgynevezett 90-es nemzedék teremtette meg. A dolgozat amellett érvel, hogy a szlovák film korszakváltása nem 1989-ben vette kezdetét, majd szélesebb nemzetközi filmtörténeti keretbe ágyazza az új szlovák dokumentarizmus mozgalmát. Ezt követően a nem-fikciós dokumentumfilm fikciós filmmé történő átalakulását a Môj pes Killer és az Eva Nová című filmeken keresztül követi nyomon. Végül a kortárs szlovák film nemzetközi párbeszédképességét a posztkoloniális (film)elméletek alkalmazhatóságának lehetőségein keresztül vizsgálja, és azt a Zvonky šťastia és a Cigáni idú do volieb című roma tematikájú filmeken teszteli. A szerző arra a következtetésre jut, hogy a mozgalom új életre keltette a szlovák filmet, így az „második szlovák újhullámnak” nevezhető el.
Titkok, megfigyelés és töredékek: a kortárs dokumentumfilmek a posztszocialista Európa regionális brandjére vonatkozó kihívásai
Authors: Zimanyi Eszter
Published: January 2022

A posztszocialista Európából származó kortárs dokumentumfilmkészítők új nemzedékének közös jellemzője, hogy stratégiai okokból alkalmaznak olyan azonosítható narratív trópusokat, amelyeket általában Kelet-Európához társítanak. E trópusok felhasználása lehetővé teszi az alkotók számára, hogy munkáikat mint a régió autentikus ábrázolásait címkézzék, ami növeli annak valószínűségét, hogy nemzetközi finanszírozást, terjesztést és közönséget biztosíthatnak filmjeiknek. Ugyanakkor sok filmkészítő tudatában van és kritikusan viszonyul ezekhez a sztereotípiákhoz, és keresik a lehetőségeket, hogy alkotásaikkal elbizonytalanítsák azokat. Egyes rendezők, például Bojina Panajotova, Mila Turajlić és Lisbeth Kovačič önreflexív, első személyű és polivokális filmjeikben olyan általános témákat mozgósítanak, mint a megfigyelés és a kémkedés, titkok, megosztott tér és identitás, és úgy lendítik tovább narratíváikat, hogy közben lebontják a posztszocialista európai identitások merev fogalmait. Ígéretes példákat mutatnak fel arra, hogy hogyan kezelhetik a posztszocialista európai dokumentumfilm-készítők a régió specifikus történelmi, politikai és kulturális aspektusait, miközben tagadják a nemzeti vagy regionális identitások megváltoztathatatlan tagoltságait.
Brain bases of English morphological processing: A comparison between Chinese-English, Spanish-English bilingual, and English monolingual children
Authors: Sun Xin , Marks Rebecca A. , Yu Chi Lin
Published: January 2022

How do early bilingual experiences influence children’s neural architecture for word processing? Dual language acquisition can yield common influences that may be shared across different bilingual groups, as well as language-specific influences stemming from a given language pairing. To investigate these effects, we examined bilingual English speakers of Chinese or Spanish, and English monolinguals, all raised in the US (N = 152, ages 5-10). Children completed an English morphological word processing task during fNIRS neuroimaging. The findings revealed both language-specific and shared bilingual effects. The language-specific effects were that Chinese and Spanish bilinguals showed principled differences in their neural organization for English lexical morphology. The common bilingual effects shared by the two groups were that in both bilingual groups, increased home language proficiency was associated with stronger left superior temporal gyrus (STG) activation when processing the English word structures that are most dissimilar from the home language. The findings inform theories of language and brain development during the key periods of neural reorganization for learning to read by illuminating experience-based plasticity in linguistically diverse learners.
Sustained musical beat perception develops into late childhood and predicts phonological abilities
Authors: Nave Karli M , Snyder Joel S. , Hannon Erin
Published: January 2022

Sensitivity to auditory rhythmic structures in music and language is evident as early as infancy, but performance on beat perception tasks is often well below adult levels and improves gradually with age. While some research has suggested the ability to perceive musical beat develops early, even in infancy, it remains unclear whether adult-like perception of musical beat is present in children. The capacity to sustain an internal sense of the beat is critical for various rhythmic musical behaviors, yet very little is known about the development of this ability. In this study, 223 participants ranging in age from 4 years to 23 years from the Las Vegas, Nevada community completed a musical beat discrimination task, during which they first listened to a strongly metrical musical excerpt and then attempted to sustain their perception of the musical beat while listening to a repeated, beat-ambiguous rhythm for up to 14.4 s. They then indicated whether a drum probe matched or did not match the beat. Results suggested that the ability to identify the matching probe improved throughout middle childhood (8-9 years) and did not reach adult-like levels until adolescence (12-14 years). Furthermore, scores on the beat perception task were positively related to phonological processing, after accounting for age, short-term memory, and music and dance training. This study lends further support to the notion that children’s capacity for beat perception is not fully developed until adolescence and suggests we should reconsider assumptions of musical beat mastery by infants and young children.
