Authors: Wankasi Mieebi Martins , Waibode Alabrah Peter , Agoro Eni-Yimini Solomon
Published: September 2020

Malaria has for century’s defiled eradication due to pathophysiological and environmental complexities. The study was aimed at revealing the effect of malaria parasitaemia on hepatic synthetic fidelity and oxidative stress markers individually and synergistically. A total of five hundred subjects constituted the sample size, out of which two hundred comprised the control and three hundred the test group with grades of parasitaemia. Serum aspartate aminotransferases (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), iron, malonaldehyde and glutathione were analysed using WHO approved methods. The results obtained indicated a significant increase (p<0.05) in AST, ALT, malonaldehyde, and glutathione levels in malaria infected subjects when compared to the control group respectively. The result further showed a significant decrease (p<0.01) in serum iron concentration in malaria infected groups when compared to the control. In conclusion, malaria infection has a significant impact on the hepatic synthetic capacity and oxidative indicators.  It is suggested that these observed biochemical change should be considered when malaria infected individuals are treated and managed.

Published: September 2020

In this work, the anti-diabetic activity of three extracts of Acacia macrostachya was investigated by following the inhibitory effect of these extracts on -glucosidase using the in vitro model. The antiradical activity of these extracts was also determined. Methanol extracts of root and stem barks showed a very significant inhibitory effect against the enzyme activity of -glucosidase with IC50 2.487 ± 0.441 µg/mL and 1.650 ± 0.229 µg/mL respectively. For antiradical activity, the same extracts presented the highest scavenging of the radical DPPH● with IC50 values of 9.307 ± 0.262 µg/mL and 5.242 ± 0.068 µg/mL respectively. With the cationic radical ABTS●+, IC50 varied from 45.049 ± 0.730 µg/mL for methanolic root barks extract to 14.136 ± 0.161 µg/mL for methanolic extract from stem barks. Thus, the methanol extracts of the root and stem barks of Acacia macrostachya possess compounds with very interesting anti-diabetic and antiradical properties and could justify its traditional use.

Sebagai seorang tokoh pendidikan, Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas menegaskan untuk menghadapi krisis pendidikan Islam dewasa ini, harus mengadakan pembaharuan-pembaharuan di segala aspek kehidupan umat Islam utamanya pada aspek pendidikan itu sendiri. Anak didik jangan hanya diajarkan pendidikan Islam yang berorientasi mencapai kebahagiaan hidup di akhirat yang kekal dan abadi, tetapi juga mereka harus dididik gesit untuk meraih kebahagiaan profan dengan berbagai profesi. Menurut Al-Attas, pendidikan Islam selama ini masih dipahamkan parsial dan tidak integral dengan kehidupan modern dewasa ini. Pendidikan Islam hanya sebatas pemindahan ilmu dengan menghafal bahkan masih terikat betul dengan nuansa klasik dan kurang peduli pada kemajuan peradaban sains dan teknologimodern.Al-Attas salah seorang tokoh pendidik melayu muslim tampil memberi ide dan  penegasan bahwa pendidikan akan berjalan sesuai harapan bilamana pelaksanaannya harus  punya perencanaan yang berkorelasi dengan metode dan isinya. Tujuannya membentuk manusia yang integral dalam wujud universal.Maka pradigma pendidikan lebih tepat digunakanta’dibdaripadata’limatau tarbiyah.

Authors: Esmeris Sabrina , Mugge Ernani
Published: September 2020

RESUMOO presente texto tem como objetivo apresentar resultados parciais de um projeto de dissertação desenvolvido no mestrado em Processos e Manifestações Culturais da Universidade Feevale. Em um primeiro momento, apresenta as motivações iniciais da pesquisa, emanadas de análises de questionários, aplicados em uma escola na região metropolitana de Porto Alegre, cujas respostas apontam que ainda sobrevivem concepções de arte influenciadas por valores gregos e renascentistas. Após, efetiva-se uma revisão histórica sobre as concepções de belo e feio da cultura ocidental, verificando suas relações com o campo da arte e com a esfera da Educação em Artes Visuais. Nesse processo, foca as visões de arte, de belo e feio que circulam no espaço escolar e investe na problematização desses conceitos. Os referenciais teóricos são constituídos por autores como Umberto Eco, Adolfo Sánchez Vásquez, Arthur C. Danto e Hegel, que contribuem para o entendimento das origens e transformações das relações entre arte e beleza e, também, das posteriores rupturas entre os dois conceitos. Entende-se que questionar “o que é arte” pode contribuir para a reflexão sobre o papel da disciplina de arte na escola, o que é possível por meio da experiência em sala de aula, aqui relatada, em diálogo com os autores selecionados para a pesquisa.Palavras-chave: Arte. Belo. Cultura. Educação. Feio. ABSTRACTThis paper aims to present partial results of a master’s thesis project carried out at the Graduate Program in Processes and Cultural Manifestations, at Feevale University, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. At first, it presents some initial motivations of the study coming from the analysis of questionnaires applied at a school based in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, whose answers point to the fact that conceptions of art, influenced by Greek and Renaissance values, still exist. Subsequently, a historical review on the conceptions of the beauty and the ugly in Western culture is conducted, having in mind its relationship to the field of art and Visual Arts Education. In this process, our study focuses on the notions of art, beauty, and the ugly present in the school environment and invests in the problematization of these concepts. Our theoretical references include authors such as Umberto Eco, Adolfo Sanchez Vasquez, Arthur C. Danto, and Hegel. They contribute to the understanding of origins and changes of relationships between art and beauty and subsequent ruptures regarding these two concepts. We understand that questioning ‘what is art’ may contribute to the reflection on the role of art as a subject in the school, which is possible through the classroom experience here reported, in a dialogue with those authors.Keywords: Art. Beauty. Culture. Education. Ugly.

The water industry used NR was selected for blending with SBR. A series of NR/SBR vulcanizates were prepared through three different vulcanization systems, conventional vulcanization (CV), effective vulcanization (EV) and semi-effective vulcanization (SEV) respectively, basing on each formulation and optimum curing time. We examined the mechanical properties of NR/SBR vulcanizates including tensile strength, tear strength, elongation at break, modulus, Shore A hardnessand and relative volume abrasion. The results indicated that NR/SBR vulcanizates prepared in different systems differed in mechanical properties. Vulcanizates prepared via CV showed higher tensile and tear strength; vulcanizates prepared via EV had high modulus and hardness, and vulcanizates prepared via SEV performed high abrasion resistance.
Educational Research Within the Curricula of Initial Teacher Education: The Case of Slovenia
Authors: Štemberger Tina
Published: September 2020

Professional learning is a continuum starting in initial teacher education and persisting throughout the teacher’s career. Initial teacher education programmes should therefore prepare prospective teachers for professional learning via research. There is, however, little knowledge about how initial teacher education programmes educate students about this important subject. The aim of this study was to identify how initial teacher education programmes in Slovenia address the question of empowering prospective teachers with research competence. We analysed all of the initial teacher education programme curricula and established that: (i) overall, more than half of the initial teacher education programmes do not include acquiring research competence as an aim of their study programmes; (ii) the majority of bachelor initial teacher education programmes include courses aimed at gaining research competence, but half of the master’s initial teacher programmes do not provide any courses related to research; and (iii) there is a variety of European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System weightings for educational research courses across initial teacher education programmes in Slovenia.

The paper introduces and explores the Plans to Pedagogy research programme, a three-year project focused on teacher capacity-building within schools. Plans to Pedagogy engages practitioner-researchers in the development of their and their colleagues’ spatial learning skills as they move into and attempt to take advantage of innovative learning environments. The programme involves teachers from eight schools across Australia and New Zealand. Still in progress, each three-year project addresses the individual school’s needs, while being supported by a more extensive university-situated “umbrella” research programme. This paper presents emerging findings from Plans to Pedagogy and discusses what is being learned about applied research in schools and how a research-focused approach to professional learning can enhance teacher learning and practice.

Published: September 2020

Students' Physics Competencies are not still optimal. One of the causes is the use of student worksheets as the teaching materials that have not yet been suitable for the structure of good student worksheets. In addition, the student worksheets are not developed using the inquiry-based learning model and scientific approach. The purpose of this study is to describe the characteristics and produce valid, practical, and effective student worksheets using the inquiry-based learning model with a scientific approach to improve the tenth-grade students' physics competencies. This research used the Plomp model as the design, which consisted of preliminary research, development or prototyping, and assessment. The data were analyzed using a descriptive percentage technique, describing the student worksheets' validity, practicality, and effectiveness. Based on the preliminary research results, it was found that needs analysis, student analysis, and material analysis were required to be a reference in developing student worksheets using the inquiry-based learning model with a scientific approach. The design stage results show that the student worksheets have been designed using an inquiry-based learning model with a scientific approach. The results of the development phase show that the student worksheets meet the valid criteria of 0.94. The implementation phase results show that the student worksheets meet the very practical criteria based on the teacher's and students' responses, with the percentage of 91.05% and 78.39%, respectively. The results of the evaluation phase show that the student worksheets meet the effective criteria, including attitude (85.81%), knowledge (85.46%), and skills (85.69%). Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that the student worksheets using the inquiry-based learning model with an effective scientific approach to improve the tenth-grade students' physics competencies.

Salah satu terapi luka pada diabetes melitus tipe 2 adalah terapi sel punca. Lingkungan mikro bagi sel termasuk sel punca, dapat rusak akibat komplikasi dari diabetes. Lingkungan mikro yang rusak tersebut dapat menyebabkan penuaan (senescent) dini pada sel punca. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh morfologi adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) dari donor diabetes mellitus tipe 2 dalam medium yang mengandung platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Tahapan studi yang dilakukan yaitu menghitung variasi densitas awal ADSCs. Densitas awal untuk kultur ADSCs adalah 5,000; 10,000; dan 20,000 sel pada setiap kelompok. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa morfologi ADSCs dalam medium PRP umumnya lebih kecil dibandingkan morfologi ADSCs dalam medium FBS pada berbagai jumlah densitas awal ADSCs yang dikultur. Morfologi ADSCs kelompok PRP didapatkan semakin kecil luas morfologinya pada densitas kultur awal sel yang besar (20,000 = 0,014 mm2; 10,000 = 0,016 mm2; 5,000 = 0,018 mm2) begitu juga kelompok FBS (20,000 = 0,032 mm2; 10,000 = 0,032 mm2; 5,000 = 0,036 mm2). Luas ukuran ADSCs yang dikultur menggunakan FBS jauh lebih besar dibandingkan PRP dan berbeda bermakna pada densitas jumlah sel awal yang dikultur sebanyak 20,000 sel (p <0,05). Berdasarkan hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa morfologi ADSCs yang dikultur dengan kerapatan densitas 20,000 sel dalam medium PRP memiliki ukuran sel yang lebih kecil secara signifikan dibandingkan medium FBS.

The tea industry has the potentiality of the transform of socioeconomic conditions of rural Bangladesh which provides ample for self-employment of unemployed youth. The present study examines the socioeconomic characteristics, cultural practices and profitability of green leaf cultivation of the randomly selected 45 sample farmers from Panchagarh district in Bangladesh. Primary data were collected through field survey using an interview schedule. Some statistical measures like average percentage and ratios were calculated. The study showed that the average family size of the green leaf growers was 4.77. About 72 % of the respondents’ education levels were primary to higher secondary. On an average 100 % of the tea estates owners’ occupation was business while majority of smaller growers and small holder occupation was agriculture. The average size of land holding per family was 12.16 hectares. But on the other hand, area under tea cultivation was found to be 8.50 hectares. The number of bushes planted per hectare was 15218. The study showed that on average 71% farmers maintained the plant spacing (3 ft. x 2.5 ft.). It was found that 58% farmers plucked more than 3 leaves and bud. On an average, per kilogram cost of green leaf was Tk.11.60 ($ 0.137) and Tk. 13.15($ 0.155) on the basis variable and fixed cost, respectively. The cost was the highest in small holder while it was the lowest in the small farmer. The average per kilogram gross margin of green leaf was Tk.8.90 ($ 0.105). But on the other hand, per kilogram net benefit was Tk.7.35 ($ 0.087). The net benefit was the highest among the small farmer due to lower cost; while net benefit was the lowest in small holder due to higher cost of cultivation. The benefit cost ratio was 1.57.

A survey was undertaken to examine the accessibility of aqua-drugs and their applications in the semi-intensive aquaculture farms in Patuakhali district. A total of 83 stakeholders were selected and data gathered from aqua-medicine stores, representatives of different pharmaceuticals and semi-intensive aqua-farms owners via questionnaire interviews. PRA tools like focused group discussion, cross-checking, and key informant interviews were also used. Results show that 78% of farmers conduct polyculture and rest executes monoculture. Among the total fish farmer majority, 38% used lime for pond preparation and water quality management and potash used by 44% farmer as a disinfectant. For increasing dissolve-oxygen Oxy-rich (26%) was vastly used while 28% of farmers don’t use any oxygen supplier in their pond. However, 14% of farmers use commercial Megavit-Aqua growth promoters and 14% farmer used probiotics. For disease control, 52% and 14% of farmers use Renamycin and Renamox respectively due to its easy availability and affordability compared to probiotics. Several issues have been reported due to improper use of aquatic medications, such as lack of information about chemical use, sufficient dosage, form of application and indiscriminate use of antibiotics. This research result will help the policymaker to understand the requirement of fishers for healthy and sustainable aquaculture practices.
