The more advanced the era, the nation asks to have quality human resources. It can be obtained with an education system that has a high quality. However, problems arise with the emergence of issues of poor character education such as juvenile delinquency, corruption, racial conflicts, etc. This book explains how important it is to develop character education in schools. The author explains that character development must be balanced with the times. In addition, it is also explained that the quality in the field of science can fall if it is not balanced with character education as a whole. An Introduction to Character Education Books was written for various purposes. The most basic purpose of writing this book is to participate in completing references and expanding educational thinking. Through this book, the author also contributes to the development of educational thinking, especially character education. Moreover, about what is meant by character education and why character education is essential, this book can present various thoughts on character education in education these days. This book is intended primarily for educational actors such as teachers, students, and education observers. It is hoped that this book can serve as a reference for studies related to character education in educational institutions. Building the character of the nation's children is not as easy as turning the palm. However, that does not mean it cannot. Some steps must be carried out so that the concept of character education can proceed appropriately, and this book also explains the indicators of character development in detail.

Published: June 2021

As the younger generation, or as people say “millennials”, we have to face the changes that are happening because of globalization. The effects of globalization are severe, as there are a lot of social issues that don't stand with Indonesia’s identity and are opposites with it. Issues surrounding violence, human rights, immoral acts, corruption, dishonesty, and the collapse of the young generation’s noble character continue to adorn the life of the Indonesian nation. This just yet again reminds us how important it is for us to learn about moral character and implement them in our everyday lives to help our generation be the best version of themselves, and for our nation, Indonesia’s future. This book review is written to fulfill the end of semester writing assignment for the Indonesian Civics subject. Hopefully, this book review encourages the young generation to improve their qualities and be the best version of themselves for their and the nation’s future.

What Determines Indigenous Peoples’ Mental Health Awareness? A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study From Nawalpur District
Authors: Koirala Ranjana , Bhattarai Tilarupa
Published: June 2021

Background: The health status of indigenous people including Tharu is very poor. Despite several studies on indigenous communities, no previous studies were found about mental illness and its awareness among the Tharu people in Nepal. Objectives: This study aims to find out the awareness of mental illness among adults of the Tharu community. Within the objective the present study specific to identify the level of awareness on mental illness and to identify an association between selected socio-demographic characteristics and level of awareness on mental illness. Method: The study was based on the descriptive cross-sectional design and was conducted in 3, 4, 6, 8, and 15 wards of the Madhyabindu municipality of Nawalpur District as the majority of the Tharu's household are located in these wards. This research administered a structured questionnaire to assess awareness of Tharu adults on mental illness. Data were collected in September and October 2018. The collected data were analyzed by using descriptive statistical methods where the researcher calculated mean, standard deviation, percentage, and frequency. Chi-square test was used for inferential statistics.Result: Our analysis revealed that the socioeconomic status of the Tharu community is based on agriculture. The overall level of awareness of respondents, 35.5 % had adequate awareness of mental illness whereas 34 % had moderate awareness and 30.5 % respondents had inadequate awareness of the mental illness. The level of awareness of mental illness is statistically significant with the age of respondents, gender, marital status, education status, and occupation status. Conclusion: Based on the findings of the study, it concluded that nearly one-third of Tharu adults have an adequate level of awareness regarding mental illness. Further, the awareness level of Tharu adults tends to vary according to age, sex, education, occupation, and marital status.Implication: The findings of this study imply that mental awareness among the indigenous community is still low and the findings of the study could be used by a mental health organization to plan and implement mental health-related awareness programs in an indigenous community.
Is Physical Activity–Related Self-Efficacy Associated with Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour among Ambulatory Children with Cerebral Palsy?
Authors: Ganz Felipe , Wright Virginia , Manns Patricia J. , Pritchard Lesley
Published: June 2021

Purpose : To determine how physical activity–related self-efficacy is associated with physical activity and sedentary behaviour time among ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP). Method : Children with CP, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) Levels I-III ( N = 26; aged 9–18 y), completed the task self-efficacy component of a self-efficacy scale and wore Actigraph GT3X+ accelerometers for 5 days. Correlations (Pearson and Spearman’s rank-order; α = 0.050) were conducted to evaluate the relationships among age, GMFCS level, self-efficacy, and both daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary time. Linear regression models were used to determine the relationships among the independent variables and MVPA and sedentary time. Results : Self-efficacy was positively associated with MVPA time ( r = 0.428, p = 0.015) and negatively correlated with sedentary time ( r = –0.332, p = 0.049). In our linear regression models, gross motor function (β = –0.462, p = 0.006), age (β = –0.344, p = 0.033), and self-efficacy (β = 0.281, p = 0.080) were associated with MVPA time ( R2 = 0.508), while GMFCS level (β = 0.439, p = 0.003) and age (β = 0.605, p < 0.001) were associated with sedentary time ( R2 = 0.584). Conclusions : This research suggests that self-efficacy, age, and gross motor function are associated with MVPA in children with CP. Additional research is needed to confirm these findings and further explore the influence of self-efficacy on sedentary behaviour.

Authors: Taranova L. V. , Glazunov A. M. , Zemlyanskiy E. O. , Mozyrev A. G.
Published: June 2021

One of the serious troubles faced by the oil and gas industry is corrosion wear of equipment and pipelines. The major part of failures of the oilfield equipment and pipelines is the result of corrosion damage, so protection of equipment from corrosion is one of the most urgent scientific and technical issues. One of the most common ways to control corrosion is inhibitor protection. The paper presents the results of studies of corrosion inhibitors synthesized on the basis of polyethylene polyamines and three varieties of light tall oil in the presence of alcohol solvents using the stillage residue of butyl alcohols rectification. The optimal parameters of synthesis and the ratio of basic raw reactants and solvents have been determined. The inhibitory properties of the synthesized samples were evaluated by changes in the rate of corrosion and the value of their protective efficiency. It has been shown that the best of the synthesized samples is not inferior to the industrial reactant Sonkor 9601 in terms of the protective effectiveness, and in the area of low concentrations (up to 40 g/t) exceeds the basic inhibitor.
Thermoelectric model of the Earth's magnetic field
Authors: Dmitriev A. N. , Pakharukov Yu. V.
Published: June 2021

A variant of the thermoelectric model of the Earth's dipole magnetic field is considered. It is based on geothermoelectric currents present in the planet's core. The currents cyclically change their direction, which leads over time either to warming on the Earth, if their movement is directed towards the Earth's crust, or to cooling, when moving towards the inner core. With each change in the direction of movement of the thermal currents, the poles of the Earth's magnetic field are inverted simultaneously. The inversion process is instantaneous (on the scale of planetary time) and is not the result of a gradual reversal on the 180° Earth's magnetic axis. At the moment of inversions of thermal currents in the core, the total geomagnetic field decreases to the level of 4.6∙10-6 T, which is constantly supported by thermal currents of semi-conducting rocks of the lower mantle. The considered version of the thermoelectric model of the Earth's magnetic field may be promising for studying the magnetic fields of planets in the Solar system.

Published: June 2021

The use of modern complexes for calculating the designed pipeline systems and for predicting their behavior for a period of more than ten years is necessary in modern conditions of the constantly developing hydrocarbon market and the development of new northern territories for greater oil production. It will allow avoiding accidents and environmental disasters that have become more frequent in recent years due to the deterioration of existing equipment. The article presents a method for monitoring the main reliability parameters of underground oil pipelines, taking into account changes in soil foundations, mainly in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. An oil pipeline section is considered as an object for monitoring of heat engineering processes and their influence on the reliability of the system. We describe the main results of calculations of the oil pipeline section and simulate changes in soil foundations. We used a multilayer pipe with polyurethane foam insulation and coating for the calculations to improve the reliability characteristics. This pipe has showed the best results of modeling in comparison with the design pipe.

Published: June 2021

This article analyzes the prospects of petroleum potential in Kurgan region. The relevance of the work is due to the high degree of development of the traditional oil and gas recovery areas of Western Siberia, which leads to the need to organize search activities in areas with a low density of hydrocarbon resources. We have analyzed the results of exploratory drilling in the area of the Alabuga river in Kurgan region, and have studied the history of detections of onshore oil occurrences there. Based on the results of the retrospective analysis, the research area was determined, field work was performed to determine the state of search wells in the area, and a collection of geochemical soil and liquid samples was selected. The analysis of the samples revealed that all of them contain methane and its homologues up to and including pentane. The genesis of light methane homologs is related to the processes of catagenesis; their detection on the surface indicates active processes of generation and migration of petroleum hydrocarbons. Based on the analysis of archival materials and estimated ground-based geochemical studies, a conclusion is made about petroleum potential in Kurgan region.
Representing Muslims: A Postcolonial Study of Mohammed Hanif's Red Birds
Authors: Anjum Muhammad Tahir , Rehman Shahab , Samad Abdus
Published: June 2021

This research study highlights the role of Mohammed Hanif as a native informer in representing his own culture and religion, Islam, in his novel, Red Birds (2018). Edward Said's postcolonial theory, as presented in Orientalism (1979) and Covering Islam (1997), is applied as a tool to analyze the novel textually and contextually. The research methodology is inductive and exploratory. According to Said (1979), political knowledge may influence a state's policies about a region, as is evident in Red Birds. Hanif (2018) uses Major Ellie and Momo in the novel as his mouthpieces in depicting and representing Muslims as backwards and savages. This approach of Hanif's (2018) towards Muslims serves the narrative of the Neo-Orientalists. As Dabashi (2011), argues that Neo-Orientalists have historically used diaspora authors for their purposes. Hanif, as a native informer, has misrepresented Islam in Red Birds (2018). Hanif (2018) portrays Islam as an outdated religion. The modern world need not propagate any religion or culture negatively. Instead, we need flexibility and acceptance for peaceful co-existence.

In any society, consumers are the backbone of the business. No business can be imagined without the existence of a consumer. This gives a good idea of the importance of the consumer and his rights. The protection of consumer rights is considered a sign of the superiority of the economic system of any society. The role of the superior judiciary in protecting consumer rights in any economic system cannot be underestimated as its decisions apply not only to the lower courts but to society as a whole. This study examines the role of Pakistans superior judiciary in protecting consumer rights and concludes that the superior judiciary of Pakistan has always played an important role in protecting the consumer, and only by implementing the decisions of the superior judiciary a better economic system can be created in which the rights of the consumer are fully protected.
Extent of parahippocampal ablation is associated with seizure freedom after laser amygdalohippocampotomy
Authors: Satzer David , Tao James X. , Warnke Peter C.
Published: June 2021

OBJECTIVE

The authors aimed to examine the relationship between mesial temporal subregion ablation volume and seizure outcome in a diverse cohort of patients who underwent stereotactic laser amygdalohippocampotomy (SLAH) for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE).

METHODS

Seizure outcomes and pre- and postoperative images were retrospectively reviewed in patients with MTLE who underwent SLAH at a single institution. Mesial temporal subregions and the contrast-enhancing ablation volume were manually segmented. Pre- and postoperative MR images were coregistered to assess anatomical ablation. Postoperative MRI and ablation volumes were also spatially normalized, enabling the assessment of seizure outcome with heat maps.

RESULTS

Twenty-eight patients with MTLE underwent SLAH, 15 of whom had mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS). The rate of Engel class I outcome at 1 year after SLAH was 39% overall: 47% in patients with MTS and 31% in patients without MTS. The percentage of parahippocampal gyrus (PHG) ablated was higher in patients with an Engel class I outcome (40% vs 25%, p = 0.04). Subregion analysis revealed that extent of ablation in the parahippocampal cortex (35% vs 19%, p = 0.03) and angular bundle (64% vs 43%, p = 0.02) was positively associated with Engel class I outcome. The degree of amygdalohippocampal complex (AHC) ablated was not associated with seizure outcome (p = 0.30).

CONCLUSIONS

Although the AHC was the described target of SLAH, seizure outcome in this cohort was associated with degree of ablation for the PHG, not the AHC. Complete coverage of both the AHC and PHG is technically challenging, and more work is needed to optimize seizure outcome after SLAH.
Retrosigmoid transhorizontal fissure approach to lateral pontine cavernous malformation: comparison to transpetrosal presigmoid retrolabyrinthine approach
Authors: Schneider Julia R. , Chiluwal Amrit K. , Nouri Mohsen , Prashant Giyarpuram N. , Dehdashti Amir R.
Published: June 2021

OBJECTIVE

The retrosigmoid (RS) approach is a classic route used to access deep-seated brainstem cavernous malformation (CM). The angle of access is limited, so alternatives such as the transpetrosal presigmoid retrolabyrinthine (TPPR) approach have been used to overcome this limitation. Here, the authors evaluated a modification to the RS approach, horizontal fissure dissection by using the RS transhorizontal (RSTH) approach.

METHODS

Relevant clinical parameters were evaluated in 9 patients who underwent resection of lateral pontine CM. Cadaveric dissection was performed to compare the TPPR approach and the RSTH approach.

RESULTS

Five patients underwent the TPPR approach, and 4 underwent the RSTH approach. Dissection of the horizontal fissure allowed for access to the infratrigeminal safe entry zone, with a direct trajectory to the middle cerebellar peduncle similar to that used in TPPR exposure. Operative time was longer in the TPPR group. All patients had a modified Rankin Scale score ≤ 2 at the last follow-up. Cadaveric dissection confirmed increased anteroposterior working angle and middle cerebellar peduncle exposure with the addition of horizontal fissure dissection.

CONCLUSIONS

The RSTH approach leads to a direct lateral path to lateral pontine CM, with similar efficacy and shorter operative time compared with more extensive skull base exposure. The RSTH approach could be considered a valid alternative for resection of selected pontine CM.

Published: June 2021

OBJECTIVE

Although fellowship training is becoming increasingly common in neurosurgery, it is unclear which factors predict an academic career trajectory among spinal neurosurgeons. In this study, the authors sought to identify predictors associated with academic career placement among fellowship-trained neurological spinal surgeons.

METHODS

Demographic data and bibliometric information on neurosurgeons who completed a residency program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education between 1983 and 2019 were gathered, and those who completed a spine fellowship were identified. Employment was denoted as academic if the hospital where a neurosurgeon worked was affiliated with a neurosurgical residency program; all other positions were denoted as nonacademic. A logistic regression model was used for multivariate statistical analysis.

RESULTS

A total of 376 fellowship-trained spinal neurosurgeons were identified, of whom 140 (37.2%) held academic positions. The top 5 programs that graduated the most fellows in the cohort were Cleveland Clinic, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, University of Miami, Barrow Neurological Institute, and Northwestern University. On multivariate analysis, increased protected research time during residency (OR 1.03, p = 0.044), a higher h-index during residency (OR 1.12, p < 0.001), completing more than one clinical fellowship (OR 2.16, p = 0.024), and attending any of the top 5 programs that graduated the most fellows (OR 2.01, p = 0.0069) were independently associated with an academic career trajectory.

CONCLUSIONS

Increased protected research time during residency, a higher h-index during residency, completing more than one clinical fellowship, and attending one of the 5 programs graduating the most fellowship-trained neurosurgical spinal surgeons independently predicted an academic career. These results may be useful in identifying and advising trainees interested in academic spine neurosurgery.
Определение координат отражателей в плоскости, перпендикулярной сварному соединению по эхосигналам, измеренным преобразователями по схеме TOFD
Authors: Базулин Е.Г. , Вопилкин А.Х. , Тихонов Д.С.
Published: June 2021

The TOFD method, which is widely used in ultrasonic flaw detection, makes it possible to distinguish a crack from a volume reflector by the phase of the echo signals and to determine its height with high accuracy. However, the TOFD method without scanning the piezoelectric transducers across the weld joint does not allow to determine the displacement of the reflector from the center of the welded joint, which is very important when evaluating the results of the control. The scanning devices used for this purpose have a complex design, their price is higher than that of one-dimensional scanning devices, and, most importantly, the control time increases significantly. If the echo signals reflected from the bottom of the object of control are used, taking into account the change in the wave type, then a combined image of the reflector can be obtained from a set of partial images recovered by the digital focusing antenna (DFA) method. If we use the echo signals measured in the combined mode for each piezoelectric converter, we can estimate the displacement of the reflector across the welded joint with an accuracy of ±1.5 mm. Numerical and model experiments have confirmed the efficiency of the proposed approach.

We studied the feasibility of a portable salt-meter incorporating a prompt gamma neutron activation analysis with a californium-252 neutron source to meet urgent demands for non-destructive methods without pre-processing in large bulk materials such as concrete structures. This technique is aiming at the chloride ion concentration in concrete structures with a depth profile from the surface to steel bar. From the portability point of view, a californium-252 neutron source is adopted and we have performed a preliminary experiment and simulations with a simple geometry. In this paper, we describe the performances of salt detection sensitivities by applying the prompt gamma neutron activation analysis.

Objectives. Antimicrobial efficacy and toxicity analysis of 5 different concentrations of silver zeolite (SZ) compound against 5 common oral pathogens Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus pyogenes, Lactobacillus sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans.
Material and methods. The antimicrobial efficacy of 5 different concentrations of SZ was tested against 5 common oral pathogens using the agar well diffusion method and the MIC and MBC values were determined using the micro broth dilution method. The toxicity of all 5 different concentrations was evaluated using brine shrimp assay and lethal concentration (Lc50) value was determined.
Results. At 10 μg/mL the antimicrobial activity of SZ was almost negligible. The antimicrobial activity was observed in an increasing trend against all the test microorganisms as the concentration increased. At 75 & 100 μg/mL the zone of inhibitions was more than the control. Furthermore, MIC and MBC values of SZ with concentrations 25, 50, 75, and 100 μg/mL were determined and recorded. SZ was equally effective against all the test organisms. The LC25 (lethal concentration25) value was 1.6 μg/mL, whereas the LC50 value was 1.77 μg/mL and the LC75 value was 1.90 μg/mL, calculated from the probit computational method.
Conclusion. SZ has the potential to change the ongoing system and bring about a revolution as an antimicrobial drug.
However, the dose must be regulated as it can be toxic in higher concentrations. SZ compounds with the correct study of physicochemical properties and toxicity analysis can increase their pharmacological use and market value.
