Participation of calcium channels in the action of angiotensin II in astrocytes
Authors: Dias Thales Augusto Oliveira , Leitão Silvia Graciela Ruginsk
Published: December 2021

Background: The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is the main regulator of blood pressure and blood volume, with most effects being mediated by angiotensin II (Ang-II) - responsible, in the central nervous system, for actions such as thirst and sodium appetite. Astrocytes are believed to mediate such a response, as they express receptors for Ang-II and respond directly to dehydration with impacting morphological changes in the synaptic microenvironment. Many of its functions involve L-type calcium channels (LTCCs). Objectives: Evaluate the participation of LTCCs in the effects induced by AngII in cultured hypothalamic astrocytes. Methods: The effect of incubation with verapamil on the morphological responses induced by Ang-II was evaluated in hypothalamic astrocyte culture, by analyzing the expression of the cytoskeletal protein GFAP and the cell viability by the MTT assay, by immunofluorescence. Results: Incubation with Ang-II reduced the cell area considerably due to GFAP expression in relation to the control group (DMEM p<0.001), indicating that the results observed on GFAP expression did not result from cell death. Conclusion: Incubation with Ang-II alters the astrocyte morphology, reducing its area, effect at least in part, blocked by the action of Verapamil, indicating the participation of LTCCs in the mediation of this process.

Authors: Costa Maria Julia Melchiades , Gomes Talita Cardoso , Mello Ana Luíza Pinheiro de , Lacerda Luiz Müller Pimentel Delfim , Viana Ivan Magalhães
Published: December 2021

Background: Brainstem Cavernous Malformations (BSCMs) are vascular alterations that allow blood to pass into the central nervous tissue. When surgery is indicated, the preoperative use of DTI/DTT appears to improve prognosis. Objectives: Analyze the use of DTI/DTT in the surgical planning of BSCMs and their prognostic repercussions. Methods: An integrative review in which 25 articles in English from the last 14 years were found in the Pubmed database in April 2021, using the descriptors “brainstem”, “cavernous malformations” and “diffusion tensor imaging” and the boolean operator “And”. 4 articles from 2015 to 2021 were selected. Exclusion criteria: (1) Reviews; (2) Case reports; (3) Unrelated topic. Results: BSCMs commonly distort the region’s tracts, whose location and direction can be determined by DTI/DTT, offering a safer surgical planning. In a series with 10 BSCMs patients, in which 5 underwent preoperative DTI, 64% of the analyzed fibers presented some deformation, with 2 patients needing to have their surgical plan altered. A randomized clinical trial analyzed 23 BSCMs patients who underwent preoperative DTI/DTT and 24 conventionally evaluated, surgical morbidity and the percentage of patients with worsened motor deficits were lower in the DTI/DTT group (30,4% and 1,7%) than control (79,2% and 37,5%), indicating that such techniques may have better results. Conclusion: Preoperative DTI/DTT appears to be related to a better prognosis and surgical safety. However, further studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness in improving the prognosis of BSCMs patients.

Authors: Ramírez Hurtado Fabiola Mónica
Published: December 2021

El presente artículo estudia las emociones positivas de los estudiantes de posgrado en torno al aprendizaje significativo en los diplomados: Diplomado en Organización y Administración Pedagógica del Aula del Centro Psicopedagógico y de Investigación en Educación Superior (CEPIES) de la Universidad Mayor de San Andrés, Diplomado en Educación Superior e Interculturalidad de la Universidad Mayor de San Andrés y Diplomado en Educación Superior de la Universidad Autónoma Gabriel René Moreno - La Fundación Perceptor. Teóricamente, la investigación se soporta en los postulados de la Neuroeducación, cuyo fin esencial es optimizar el proceso de enseñanza - aprendizaje basándose en los conocimientos sobre el funcionamiento del cerebro y de la Neurodidáctica que consideran las emociones favorables al aprendizaje, para que sea más duradero y de mejor calidad. Mediante una metodología cualitativa y un estudio de fuentes documentales, se han estudiado cinco categorías de análisis: la satisfacción en el aula, el compromiso individual, el compromiso grupal, la implicación en las actividades académicas y la concordancia entre los objetivos planificados y las actividades realizadas. Los resultados han reflejado que, al incorporar prácticas docentes basadas en emociones positivas, bienestar subjetivo, motivación y clima de aula favorable; se favorece el desarrollo del aprendizaje significativo, se multiplica su eficiencia y se potencia el desarrollo de habilidades y destrezas, además de fomentar actitudes como la empatía. Los ambientes emotivos y afectivos, propician la motivación y la creatividad, el trabajo colaborativo y por ende un aprendizaje más efectivo de grupo e individual.
Accrediting Indigenous Australian Content and Cultural Competency Within the Bachelor of Laws
Authors: Gainsford Annette , Smith Marcus , Gerard Alison
Published: December 2021

The most recent version of the Council of Australian Law Deans Law School Standards calls for embedding Indigenous cultural competence in Australian law degrees as a matter of best practice. To support this work Universities Australia has produced several reports that establish a best practice framework for Indigenous cultural competence, which is reinforced by the Universities Australia Indigenous Strategy 2017-2020. Universities and law schools have a responsibility to drive this change, to be reflective, and to contribute to an expanding community of practice on Indigenous cultural competence in legal education. This paper explores how Charles Sturt University embedded Indigenous cultural competency across core curriculum content of the Bachelor of Laws. The authors provide a detailed explanation of the course pedagogical mapping and specific subject content that was submitted for institutional accreditation.
Analisis Penerapan Metode First In First Out ( Fifo ) Dan Average Untuk Penilaian Persediaan Kertas HVS Pada Muara Kaman Copy & Print Center Di Tenggarong
Authors: Widyasari Nurtia , Palinggi Yonathan , Hermanto Muhammad
Published: December 2021

Abstract:

 

               The purpose of this study was to compare the valuation of HVS paper inventories with the First In First Out (FIFO) method and the Average method in the Muara Kaman photocopy business in Tenggarong. The analytical tool used is descriptive analysis. The method of descriptive analysis is to describe the nature of something that has been going on at the time the research is being conducted and examines the causes of certain symptoms. Furthermore, this analysis uses the FIFO and Average methods in inventory valuation.

               The results of calculations using the average method produce cost of goods sold which is greater than the First In First Out (FIFO) method. On the other hand, the calculation using the First In First Out (FIFO) method will result in a higher ending inventory value than the average method. So if you want to report the value of current assets (especially inventory) is greater then you can use the FIFO method.

INSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES FOR DETERMINING CONSUMERS BEYOND ENERGY POVERTY: INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND UKRAINIAN REALITIES
Authors: Zavgorodnia Svitlana
Published: December 2021

The list of seventeen global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the period up to 2030 is presented in an official document of the UN General Assembly. All countries, including Ukraine, are trying to reach them. To this end, the National Report «Sustainable Development Goals: Ukraine» was prepared, which, taking into account the peculiarities of national development, highlights the results of adaptation of global CSWs, including those related to ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy sources.

To overcome the problems associated with access of certain categories of consumers to the most important energy services of adequate quality at affordable prices, the transactions of the Third and Fourth Energy Packages of the EU set general provisions for all EU Member States on overcoming energy poverty. They set common goals for all EU member states to form the institutional framework for tackling energy poverty consumers, and for each Member State, it is provided the independent development of institutional frameworks for identifying consumers below energy poverty and implementing measures to tackle it. Given the above the purpose of the study is to analyze the experience of individual EU member states in the formation of these principles, especially the development of norms, rules, missions (roles) of public administration to implement public administration activities to identify consumers outside the energy poverty.

The study found that Italy and Ireland have now established basic rules and regulations for identifying consumers who are below the poverty line. Appropriate methodologies and criteria have been developed, in particular regarding the expediency of taking into account informal norms, as well as the organizations that are working to address these issues have been identified. At the same time, in Greece and Latvia, the need to form an institutional framework for identifying consumers who are below the poverty line is only normatively declared.

Due to the fact that about a quarter of households in Ukraine did not have enough funds to maintain a sufficiently warm temperature in their homes during the heating season, the institutional framework for identifying consumers below the energy poverty line is not currently formed. At the same time, only institutional principles are being formed, which relate to the identification of vulnerable consumers of energy resources, as well as their protection. Therefore, given the common goals for all EU member states to form the institutional framework for overcoming energy poverty, and separately for each Member State it is provided the independent formation of institutional frameworks relating to the identification of consumers below the energy poverty, this issue is relevant for Ukraine.
LANGUAGE POLICY IN BELARUS AND KAZAKHSTAN (COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS FOR UKRAINE)
Authors: Lytvynenko Oleksandr
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes the background and outcomes of the introduction of official bilingualism in Belarus and Kazakhstan. This topic is quite relevant to Ukraine given that specific political forces repeatedly attempted to give Russian language state or official status at least at the regional level. The choice of the subject is determined by the fact that Belarus and Kazakhstan as well as Ukraine were the most Russified republics of the former Soviet Union had similar language problems after they declared independence.

Based on the analysis of official documents, sociological and statistical data, it was revealed that the introduction of bilingualism in Belarus and Kazakhstan had different scope, goals and outcomes. In Belarus, state bilingualism, as a continuation of Soviet Russification, led to the marginalization of the Belarusian language and the practical deprivation of the titular nation of an important component of its identity. In Kazakhstan, the policy of official bilingualism provided for the expansion of the use of the Kazakh language in all areas. However, since the free use of Russian is a statutory right, the promotion of the Kazakh language was limited mainly to ethnic Kazakhs and other turk ethnic groups, almost without affecting Russians and other minorities, among whom the level of knowledge and use of Kazakh is extremely low. Nowadays, official bilingualism is becoming an obvious obstacle to building a Kazakh political nation. These examples show that the policy of official bilingualism in countries burdened by the legacy of Russification poses risks to national security. Thus, we can conclude that the changes to the Ukrainian legislation aimed at ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as the state language, overcoming the consequences of the Russification of the Ukrainian cultural and information space, were adopted on time.
Para que serve uma função de onda?
Authors: Freitas Fábio , Freire Jr Olival
Published: December 2021

Na capa da edição de junho de 2007, a revista Nature celebrava os 50 anos da interpretação dos muitos-mundos da mecânica quântica. Essa capa serviu para ilustrar o prestígio atual que essa interpretação possui, sendo estudada por filósofos e físicos. Todavia a história do seu desenvolvimento e de sua origem permaneciam problemas em aberto na historiografia. Nesse trabalho, nos dedicamos a examinar as origens históricas dessa interpretação durante o doutorado de Hugh Everett, entre 1953-1957. O desenvolvimento dessa interpretação levou a um debate entre John A. Wheeler, orientador de Everett, e Niels Bohr, criador da interpretação da complementaridade, tendo como resultado o encerramento da carreira de Everett na Física. O conflito com Bohr e o modo como esse debate foi conduzido ajudaram truncar a carreira de Everett na física e relegar a sua interpretação ao esquecimento, ao menos durante os 15 anos seguintes.
visão e o princípio de correspondência em Descartes
Authors: Donatelli Marisa Carneiro de Oliveira Franco
Published: December 2021

Quando Descartes escreve a Dióptrica, não há uma explicação satisfatória sobre a transmissão da imagem da retina ao cérebro. Ao considerar a função do nervo na transmissão da imagem, Descartes vai além de tudo o que é afirmado a esse respeito, em sua época, enfatizando o papel do nervo óptico. Esse aspecto da análise da transmissão das imagens retinianas está agregado a outro que se mostrará relevante na constituição da teoria cartesiana do conhecimento, qual seja, o que se refere à ausência de necessidade da suposição de semelhança absoluta entre imagem e objeto.
Penser avec Whitehead
Authors: Roque Tatiana
Published: December 2021

Toda criação se faz a partir de problemas, mas os problemas encontram-se, na maioria das vezes, mascarados por detrás das proposições de um filósofo. O papel do comentador e do historiador da filosofia é, então, o de restaurar esses problemas, a fim de tornar explicita a novidade e a necessidade dos conceitos apresentados pelo filósofo. O livro de Isabelle Stengers, Penser avec Whitehead: Une libre et sauvage création de concepts (Pensar com Whitehead: Uma livre e selvagem criação de conceitos), publicado em 2002 pelas edições do Seuil, é um belo exemplo desse procedimento, que poderíamos denominar “ética do matemático”.

História e filosofia da ciência na obra de George Sarton
Authors: Oliveira Amélia de Jesus
Published: December 2021

George Sarton tem sido sempre lembrado como um dos responsáveis pela institucionalização da disciplina de História da Ciência. Até o início dos anos 60, a crítica lhe é extremamente favorável e elogiosa, cedendo lugar a considerações restritivas que enfatizam a ausência de uma abordagem filosófica e analítica em seus escritos. Essas restrições se intensificam no contexto da nova historiografia da ciência, tal como anunciada por Thomas Kuhn. Procuramos, neste artigo, refletir sobre as considerações de alguns intérpretes de Sarton, analisando seu projeto grandioso em prol da criação da disciplina de história da ciência. Ao fazê-lo, buscamos mostrar como as críticas de alguns desses intérpretes são reveladoras da mudança ocorrida na história da ciência ao mesmo tempo em que suscitam a necessidade de se revisar seu papel na constituição da disciplina.

Vacas a matar. De la dicotomía soberana al umbral biopolítico en ficciones ganaderas del Cono Sur.
Authors: Luppi Juan Pablo
Published: December 2021

RESUMEN: Nudo de tensión entre vida biológica e historicidad, la animalidad recorre la serie de mataderos que la crítica argentina ha indagado como ficción soberana, pautada por el dualismo político. La polarización de 1840 plasmada en El matadero de Echeverría, con titubeos narrativos frente a voces y cuerpos animalizados del sector popular, retorna desde mediados del siglo XX en versiones de la dicotomía civilización-barbarie, que mantienen la distinción naturaleza-cultura y las coordenadas de historicidad antropocéntrica, como la crónica de Walsh que en 1967 enmienda el reparto clasista de Echeverría. El umbral crítico de la vida (Agamben) emerge en reescrituras recientes del matadero, donde el flujo del capital atraviesa no solo el cuerpo del trabajador sino lo viviente. Un cuento de Kohan (2009) y una novela de Maia (2013) descubren bajo la dicotomía la complejidad de pasajes entre animales y humanos, donde indagan las economías de relaciones entre vidas protegidas y abandonadas. Confrontando las conflictividades culturales argentina y brasileña, marcadas por el peso de economías agroexportadoras y el dualismo como control de mezclas, estos relatos de trabajadores del ganado inquieren lo difuso del borde vida-muerte tras dos siglos de progreso humanista en América Latina.

ABSTRACT: Animality, a knot of tension between biological life and historicity, runs through the series of slaughterhouses that Argentine critics have investigated as sovereign fiction, guided by political dualism. The 1840 polarization embodied in Echeverría´s El matadero (The Slaughterhouse), with narrative hesitations about voices and animalized bodies of popular sector, has returned since the middle of the 20th century in versions of the civilization-barbarity dichotomy, which maintain the nature-culture distinction and the coordinates of anthropocentric historicity, such as Walsh's chronicle that in 1967 amends the class distribution of Echeverría. The critical threshold of life (Agamben) emerges in recent rewritings of the slaughterhouse, where the flow of capital passes through not only the body of the worker but also the living being. A story by Kohan (2009) and a novel by Maia (2013) discover under dichotomy the complexity of passages between animals and humans, where they investigate the economies of relationships between protected and abandoned lives. By confronting Argentine and Brazilian cultural conflicts, both marked by the weight of agro-export economies and dualism as control of mixtures, these stories of cattle workers inquire about the diffuseness of the life-death border after two centuries of humanist progress in Latin America.
Damnatio ad bestias: Performing Animality and Womanhood in Contemporary Irish and Galician Poetry
Authors: Palacios Manuela , Aleixandre Marilar
Published: December 2021

The concomitant subjection of women and animals was denounced as early as 1990 by Carol J. Adams in The Sexual Politics of Meat, where she identified the intersections of discourses that aim at the subjugation of women and animals and censured those practices that animalize women and feminize animals for the better exploitation of both. More recent ecofeminist debates, however, have highlighted women’s vindication of animality with the aim to recuperate one’s repressed animal nature and rebel against oppressive anthropocentric and androcentric constrictions (Velasco Sesma 2017). This article focuses on contemporary Irish and Galician poetry concerned with the performativity of animality and womanhood in contemporary society and engaged in the emancipation of women and animals from patriarchal oppression. Ireland and Galicia have shared longstanding cultural bonds and, since the 1990s, have experienced a conspicuous accession of women writers who have participated in the feminist and environmental debates of their respective communities. This article exposes the intersecting discourses and practices that subdue animals and women, as evinced in contemporary Irish and Galician writing, and shows how poetry can become a locus of resistance and woman-animal complicity in the struggle for mutual emancipation.
The Animal Eye and Refugee Vulnerability in Wajdi Mouawad’s Anima
Authors: Alonso Alonso María , Rivera Rodríguez Gabriela
Published: December 2021

Anima, by Lebanese-born Canadian-raised author Wajdi Mouawad, is a road novel that takes the reader through different locations on the North American continent in order to explore the darkest side of humankind. This approach will focus on the provocative narrative technique used by Mouawad, filtered through the eyes of a significant number of animals and insects, in order to consider the different representations of vulnerability that articulate the text. In the novel, animals and insects are not only the narrators but also fundamental characters. As this analysis will show, their vulnerability represents the uncertainty of fate in contemporary society, being in the hands of those apparently superior creatures that decide when they can live and when they have to die. As an example of a vulnerable text, Anima relies on the theatricality of this animal Greek chorus to represent the need for humans to undergo a process of animalization. The protagonist, Wahhch Debch, reaches a stage of symbiosis with his animal side that allows him to transcend his vulnerability as a child refugee and as an adult who lost his wife, and this new sense of animal self serves him as an empowering element to break ties with his past.
Antro-zoomorfismo videoludico e rappresentazioni comunitarie
Authors: Toniolo Francesco
Published: December 2021

L’articolo propone un'analisi dedicata ai videogiochi in cui degli animali antropomorfizzati (o degli esseri umani zoomorfizzati) sono impiegati come personaggi per costruire contesti narrativi incentrati su piccole società e micro-comunità. Lo scopo del presente lavoro è quello di osservare le peculiarità nell'uso dell'antro-zoomorfismo in contesti simili, dalle implicazioni in termini di identificazione al potenziale messaggio politico di tali prodotti. Il saggio – dopo un'introduzione sull’utilizzo degli animali nei videogiochi e un paragrafo di metodologia sulla scelta dei casi – si concentra su alcuni casi studio rappresentativi di categorie più ampie, distinguendo in particolare tra una prospettiva politico/bellica e una legata alle micro-comunità, le quali in modi differenti si legano a certe rappresentazioni del territorio.

Identifying the Effective Parameters in Soil Arching for Retaining Structure; A case study of Line 2 of Mashhad Subway
Authors: Vahedian Mostafa , Cheraghi Seifabd Masoud , Baghbanan Alireza
Published: December 2021

The effective parameters on soil arching in retaining structures composed of the steel piles (2PIE300) and the steel anchors were considered using PLAXIS 3D TUNNEL for a three-dimensional numerical model. To better compare, it was assumed that external loading conditions and technical features of structural elements were the same. To determine the limits of effective parameters in fine (CL-ML) and coarse grains (SC-SM), according to the soil specifications of the stations A2 to L2 in in Mashhad urban railway line 2 (Iran), Hardening Soil Model (HS) was used. Modeling started with a horizontal and vertical distance of 2 meters and increased to a distance of 4 meters. The parameters of the soils including angles of internal friction, cohesion, density and elastic modulus and the distance between anchors have been selected to present the prediction model. All parameters of the soils have been used for multiple regression and artificial neural network modeling statistical analysis. To present a prediction model, 5 parameters including internal friction angles of soil, cohesion, soil density, distance between anchors and elastic modulus have been selected and all of them except final parameter have been used to analyze multiple regression and artificial neural network modeling. The results showed that the best regression model that could be presented is the correlation of 94% between measured and predicted values. The prediction effectiveness of the neural network model has been found to be acceptable as they produced higher correlation coefficient (99%) between the variables and for the prediction of the factor of safety.

Published: December 2021

Sediment movement in rivers is one of the most important indicators to evaluate the health of an ecosystem. Bed load different specification such as shape, dimensions and other statistical parameters of this sediment reflect the hydraulic and hydrological conditions governing them, directly. To investigate the changes of particle aggregation of Sistan river bed, four sediment samples were collected from the Sistan river. After aggregation of sediments in the laboratory, sediment diameter (D50) and uniformity coefficient (Cu) was calculated, and using inverse distance weighting (IDW) method, the mentioned parameters for the Sistan river from Jarikeh up to the AfzalAbad plugs place were interpolated and parameters using ARC-GIS software was zoning along the river. Results showed that Sistan river bed material is sand and silt, 3 km to the beginning and at end of the study interval based on the English standard classification it is silty texture and the rest of bed is sandy texture. 11 kilometers beginning and the end of the river also from 20 +721 kilometer up to about 12 kilometers has also a good aggregation. The entire river except for the middle section of river from the 13 +244 km to extent of 4 km river bed has non-uniform soil.

The demand for a better performing pavement and the need to convert the ever-growing polymer waste into beneficial use necessitated the need to develop and characterize a polypropylene modified concrete for use in pavement construction. This research focuses on characterizing the strength of concrete produced with waste polypropylene waste as modifiers for pavement construction. The materials used in this research are fine and coarse aggregates, cement and polypropylene waste chairs (PWC). Tests were performed on the aggregate and fresh concrete to determine their suitability and characteristics for use in concrete for pavement. Two concrete grades 1:2:4 and 1:3:6 was produced into 200 mm, 400 mm and 500 mm long paving stones on which compressive and flexural tests were performed. Results obtained showed that 400 mm 1:2:4 grade concrete has the highest compressive strength of 27.36 N/mm2 at 10% polypropylene composition. The 200 mm 1:2:4 concrete grade paving stone with 10% polyprpopylene composition has the highest flexural strength of 12.90 N/mm2. The 200 mm at 10% polypropylene composition correlation coefficient has that the highest value of 0.98 which better explains the compression-flexural strength relationship and validates the 200 mm length at 10% polypropylene composition paving stone as the most adequate length of paving stone for pavement construction. It was concluded that the 200 mm long 1:2:4 concrete grade paving stone at 10% polypropylene composition is the best length of paving stone that can give an adequate flexural strength which is the most important requirent in concrete pavement requirement.

Vegetative propagation through stem cuttings and air layering in Salacia malabarica Gamble, Bull. - an endemic climber of Southern Western Ghats
Authors: Hussain Abdul
Published: December 2021

Salacia malabarica (Celastraceae), an important endemic climber of the southern Western Ghats is found very poor seedling bank in this natural habitats. This will lead to the untimely endangerment of the species in near future. The present study is therefore, aimed to develop and standardize the clonal propagation techniques through stem cuttings and air layering methods with the aid of auxins. The highest rooting of 90% was achieved with the use of NAA-1000 ppm from tender stem cuttings of 10-12 years old plant and air layering success was also found to be 80% by the use of NAA-1000 ppm from the same age of plants used for stem rooting.

Published: December 2021

An investigation was undertaken with Bambusa vulgaris (S.) as the test tree species to standardize ideal Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) techniques for assessing nutrient uptake and fixing appropriate dose of INM for growth of tissue cultured seedlings, so as to obtain the best quality seedling within a shortest nursery period. A nursery experiment was conducted by raising tissue culture B. vulgaris seedlings in polybags of size 25 cm x 15 cm filled with non-calcareous, red sandy loam soil (Typic Ustropept), sand and FYM with two levels of urea (500 and 1000 mg seedling-1), two levels of single super phosphate (1000 and 1500 mg seedling-1), two levels of muriate of potash (250 and 500 mg seedling-1) and micronutrient mixture (5g) along with Azospirillum (5g) seedling-1, phosphobacteria (5g) seedling-1 and VAM (10g) seedling-1.The results revealed that INM treatments were found to improve the N, P and K content of B. vulgaris seedlings. The significant increase in the total N, P and K uptake was noticed due to the incorporation of Urea, Single super phosphate and Muriate of potash (500: 1000: 250 mg) along with VAM (10g), Azospirillum (5g), phosphobacteria (5g) and micronutrient mixture (5g) seedling-1(T9) over the control at 120 DAP. The total N, P and K uptake was increased by 5.00, 1.89 and 3.19 mg seedling-1, more than the control by the same treatment. The available nutrient status was positively influenced by INM treatments compared to the application of organic, inorganic and biofertilizer alone and the control. Application of urea, single super phosphate and muriate of potash (1000: 1500: 500 mg seedling-1) along with VAM (10g), Azospirillum (5g), phosphobacteria (5g) and micronutrient mixture (5g) seedling-1(T10) recorded more available of N, P and K due to application of higher dose of fertilizers.

Pendidikan dikatakan berhasil apabila pendidikan itu mampu mewujudkan peserta didiknya menjadi manusia yang mempunyai pengetahuan dan keterampilan mumpuni. Akan tetapi, pengetahuan dan keterampilan saja yang dimiliki kurang cukup. Karena disamping itu, peserta didik harus memiliki sikap religius sehingga dapat menampilkan perilaku akhlak dan moral yang terpuji dalam kehidupan sehari hari. Manusia yang hanya pintar tapi tidak memiliki akhlak yang baik maka dia akan melakukan perbuatan yang sesuai dengan keinginannya saja, meskipun merugikan orang lain. Pada kesempatan kali ini, penulis akan membahas tentang bagaimana penanaman nilai-nilai keagamaan pada siswa SDIT KH.Abdurahman Mahmud dilakukan. Penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif, yaitu memaparkan hasil penelitian dengan deskripsi kata-kata bukan dengan angka-angka. Adapun penanaman nilai-nilai keagamaan siswa yang dilaksanakan yaitu dengan: (1) Mauizhoh Hasanah (Nasehat), (2) Uswatun Hasanah (Keteladanan), (3) Attu’udiyyah (Pembiasaan), (4) Mulahadzoh Muhasyafah (Pengawasan/Perhatian intensif), dan (5) Ats Tsawaab wa al-‘Iqaab (Penghargaan dan Hukuman).
