Authors: SUWANTANA I GEDE
Published: September 2019

The formation of character is a discourse that continues propagated by the government of Indonesia today. This is done because the condition of the nation's degraded in many areas of life. Various types of crimes such as rape, violence, theft, fights between students, corruption, and others allegedly happened as a result of the moral degradation of the Nation. Character education is the only hope which is able to restore the values of goodness and glory of the nation. So therefore, children as the future generation should be provided with character education from the beginning.

Format of character education which is given to children, therefore, must be clear and precise objectives. Ancient Hindu educational system places great emphasis on character formation in the curriculum, so that when they are finished, besides exellence in science also grew into a wise person. Gurukula system applied that has lasted for thousands of years and is considered capable of being the foundation of both the State and society to educate and transform knowledge to the younger generation as well as capable of being a great place to shape their character.

Environment holds sigificant roles to the child's development. The environment includes both which is deliberately organized and sets up unconsciously. It is normatively called education. There are three kinds of environment purposely created to influence the child’s development, namely: family environment, school environment and the community. Thus, three of them are called educational institution or educational unit. The educational institutions carry important roles in developing students' characters. Therefore, synchronization between the units is essential.

The low reading skills of students in Indonesia compared to the International encourages the government to issue a strategic policies that seek to build a love of the Indonesian people to read. At the level of the school, teachers as an executor of a policy use various strategies to improve reading comprehension of their students. One of the strategies used is reading aloud strategy. The implementation of reading aloud strategy in schools is often misunderstood, so it requires a clearer understanding of what it is reading aloud strategy and how its implementation. Reading aloud strategy is not just a way to teach reading but also a way to build a love of reading value. Love reading value character is important to get more attention in the middle of the decline of  reading comprehension level of Indonesian students in the world level which can also affect the development of the country.

PENDIDIKAN SUSILA SEBAGAI UPAYA MENCEGAH KENAKALAN REMAJA
Authors: Sudarsana I Ketut
Published: September 2019

Kenakalan remaja terjadi karena kegagalan menjalani proses-proses perkembangan kejiwaan, baik saat remaja maupun masih dalam masa anak-anak. Masa anak-anak dan remaja sesungguhnya dialami dengan begitu singkat, sehingga terkadang antara fisik, psikis, dan emosi tidak berkembang secara bersamaan. Secara psikologis, kenakalan remaja merupakan wujud dari konflikkonflik yang tidak terselesaikan dengan baik pada masa anak-anak maupun remaja para pelakunya. Remaja terkadang mengalami tekanan psikologis dalam masa lalunya yang merupakan akibat dari perlakuan kasar dan tidak menyenangkan dari lingkungannya. Selain itu juga terjadi tekanan psikologis terhadap kondisi lingkungannya, terutama menyangkut ekonomi yang membuatnya merasa rendah diri. Pendidikan susila yang berlangsung di sekolah diharapkan mampu membentuk perilaku spiritual remaja yang sesuai ajaran Agama Hindu, serta menjauhi segala perilaku yang menjurus kepada kenakalan remaja.

Pariwisata yoga berkembang di Bali, selain di tempat kelahirannya yoga di India. Pencarian wisman terhadap yoga ke Bali mulai sejak tahun 1970-an dengan membawa guru yoga sendiri. Pada tahun 1980-an, guru-guru yoga lokal mulai terserap menjadi guru yoga untuk wisman. Pencarian wisman terhadap yoga ke Bali menimbulkan masalah penelitian tentang potensi, keunikan dan pengembangan produk yoga. Pertanyaan penelitian ini dibahas dengan teori motivasi, teori produk planning dan teori kepuasan. Data dikumpulkan dengan wawancara mendalam dan kuesioner. Data yang dikumpulkan ini dianalisis secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Bali memiliki potensi yoga yang berkembang pada keunikannya yang berbasis budaya dan etnik Bali. Kepuasan wisman terhadap produk yoga di Bali tertinggi terletak pada budaya dan etnik. Karena itu, pengembangan produk yoga di Bali harus berbasis kepada budaya dan etnik Bali sehingga bisa menjadi daya tarik wisman ke Bali. Daya tarik yang berupa keunikan budaya dan etnik ini menjadi pembeda daripada pariwisata yoga di Bali, dengan pariwisata yoga di tempat-tempat lainnya di dunia.

Abstract.

 

Self-concept is a picture of a person based on his/her knowledge, expectation and judgment about him/herself through the various experiences. The development of self-concept that a person learn from childhood will lead them to self-actualization as a manifestation of their existence in social life. The first experience of a child’s life takes place in the family. Interactions between family members affect the way a person views him and his surroundings. Various forms of communication provide a wealth of experience in shaping positive or negative self-concept

Tropical Gothic: arts, humanities and social sciences
Authors: Lundberg Anita , Ancuta Katarzyna , Stasiewicz-Bieńkowska Agnieszka
Published: September 2019

The Gothic is undergoing a pronounced resurgence in academic and popular cultures. Propelled by fears associated with massive social transformations produced by globalisation, the neoliberal order and environmental uncertainty – tropes of the Gothic resonate. The gothic allows us to delve into the unknown, the liminal, the unseen; into hidden histories and feelings. It calls up unspoken truths and secret desires.In the tropics, the gothic manifests in specific ways according to spaces, places, cultures and their encounters. Within the fraught geographies and histories of colonisation and aggression that have been especially acute across the tropical regions of the world, the tropical gothic engages with orientalism and postcolonialism. The tropics, as the region of the greatest biodiversity in the world, is under enormous stress, hence tropical gothic also engages with gothic ecocriticism, senses of space, landscape and place. Globalisation and neoliberalism likewise impact the tropics, and the gothic imagery of these ‘vampiric’ capitalist forces – which impinge upon the livelihoods, traditions and the very survival of peoples of the tropics – is explored through urban gothic, popular culture, posthumanism and queer theory.As the papers in this special issue demonstrate, a gothic sensibility enables humans to respond to the seemingly dark, nebulous forces that threaten existence. These papers engage with specific instances of Tropical Gothic in West Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, Southeast Asia, northern Australia, and the American Deep South.

Published: September 2019

This particular study investigates the problems found in the strategies adopted by students in translating certain lexical collocations of the Islamic religious texts. For that purpose, a purposive sample of 41 B.A, English students enrolled in the academic year of 2017-2018 at the Arts College had been selected as participants in this study. Thus, the primary objective of the study is to determine if these Sudanese students faced any problem when translating Islamic religious collocations from Arabic into English. Therefore, the researcher employed the descriptive approach to identify the problems faced by students in using several strategies for translation. As for data collection method, a test, which consisted of specific lexical collocations terms, had been carried out to analyse the obstacles that the students faced when translating Islamic religious collocations terms from Arabic into English. Hence, some main issues that were identified from the findings were reviewed in a wholesome manner and wherever possible, links were made to associate the themes to the literature examined, besides further extending the research scope via comparison with other literature in light of the finding. Finally, some recommendations are given at the end of the research mainly for students to improve their skills in translating Islamic lexical collocations from Arabic into English.
Mechanistic Study of Nucleation Enhancement in Atomic Layer Deposition by Pre-Treatment with Small Organometallic Molecules
Authors: de Paula Camila , Richey Nathaniel , Zeng Li , Bent Stacey
Published: September 2019

Thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) of metals on metal oxide surfaces typically suffers from nucleation delays that result in poor-quality films. The poor nucleation may be caused by a lack of suitable chemisorption sites on the oxide surface which are needed for metal nucleation to occur. In this work, we demonstrate that pre-functionalizing the surface with a sub-monolayer of small organometallic molecules from the vapor phase can lead to a significant increase in surface coverage of the metal deposited by ALD. This process is demonstrated for Pt ALD from (methylcyclopentadienyl)trimethylplatinum (MeCpPtMe3) and O2, with nucleation enhanced almost three-fold at 100 ALD cycles after the pre-treatment, and even more significantly at lower ALD cycle numbers. We hypothesize that the high coverage of the organometallic molecule provides an alternative chemisorption mechanism for the platinum precursor and thus leads to an increase in nucleation sites. The growth of the platinum deposits was investigated in depth though scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and grazing incidence small angle x-ray scattering (GISAXS). These studies show that the pre-treatment results in the growth of larger and more highly ordered Pt nanoparticles at early cycle numbers, which subsequently coalesce into continuous and pinhole free films. Surface pretreatment by organometallic molecules therefore introduces a potential route to achieve improved nucleation and growth of ultrathin films.
Protein Dynamics from Accurate Low-Field Site-Specific Longitudinal and Transverse Relaxation

Published: September 2019

Nuclear magnetic relaxation provides invaluable quantitative site-specific information on the dynamics of complex systems. Determining dynamics on nanosecond timescales requires relaxation measurements at low magnetic fields, incompatible with high-resolution NMR. Here, we use a two-field NMR spectrometer to measure carbon-13 transverse and longitudinal relaxation rates at a field as low as 0.33 T (proton Larmor frequency 14 MHz) in specifically labeled sidechains of the protein ubiquitin. The use of radiofrequency pulses enhances the accuracy of measurements as compared to high-resolution relaxometry approaches, where the sample is moved in the stray field of the superconducting magnet. Importantly, we demonstrate that accurate measurements at a single low magnetic field provide enough information to characterize complex motions on low nanosecond timescales, which opens a new window for the determination of site- specific nanosecond motions in complex systems such as proteins.
Green-to-Blue Triplet Fusion Upconversion Sensitized by Anisotropic CdSe Nanoplatelets
Authors: VanOrman Zachary A. , Bieber Alexander S. , Leger Meghan , Wieghold Sarah , Nienhaus Lea
Published: September 2019

Green-to-blue photon upconversion bears great potential in photocatalytic applications. However, current hybrid inorganic-organic upconversion schemes utilizing spherical CdSe nanocrystals are limited by the additional tunneling barrier resulting from the necessity of surface-passivating shells. In this contribution, we introduce anisotropic CdSe nanoplatelets as triplet sensitizers. Here, quantum confinement occurs in only one direction, erasing effects stemming from energetic polydispersity. We investigate the triplet energy transfer from the CdSe nanoplatelets to the surface-bound triplet acceptor 9-anthracene in both solution and in solid-state upconversion devices fabricated by solution-casting. In solution, we obtain an upconversion quantum yield of (6±1)% at a power density of 11 W/cm2­using the annihilator 9,10-diphenylanthracene, and a low efficiency threshold Ithof 200 mW/cm2. Bilayer solid-state show low efficiency thresholds of 124 mW/cm2, however, suffer detrimental effects from parasitic low-energy excimer formation. This indicates that the overall brightness of the UC device and the Ithdo not necessarily correlate. This system provides a new avenue towards investigating the role of exciton transport on the upconversion mechanism.
Lead-Free Metal Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals for Photocatalysis in Water
Authors: Bhattacharjee Subhajit , Chaudhary Sonu Pratap , Bhattacharyya Sayan
Published: September 2019

Metal halide perovskites with high absorption coefficient, direct generation of free charge carriers, excellent ambipolar charge carrier transport properties, point-defect tolerance, compositional versatility and solution processability are potentially transforming the photovoltaics and optoelectronics industries. However their limited ambient stability, particularly those of iodide perovskites, obscures their use as photocatalysts especially in aqueous medium. In an unprecedented approach we have exploited the photo-absorption property of the less toxic lead-free Cs3Bi2X9 (X = Br, I) nanocrystals (NCs) to catalyse the degradation of water pollutant organic dye, methylene blue (MB) in presence of visible light at room temperature. After providing a proof-of-concept with bromide perovskites in isopropanol, the perovskites are employed as photocatalysts in water medium by designing perovskite/Ag2S and perovskite/TiO2 composite systems, with Type I (or quasi Type II) and Type II alignments, respectively. Ag2S and TiO2 coatings decelerate penetration of water into the perovskite layer while facilitating charge carrier extraction. With a minimal NC loading, Cs3Bi2I9/Ag2S degrades ~90% MB within an hour. Our approach has the potential to unravel the photocatalytic properties of metal halide perovskites for a wide spectrum of real-life applications.

Women Working Emotions - Emotional Labour in Heterosexual Relationships
Authors: Unkel Noémi Shirin , De Sá Carvalho Leonardo Helena
Published: September 2019

This research explores how young women experience emotional labour in heterosexual relationships. It does so against the background of three main interconnected concepts, namely those of power, gender and emotion. Thereby, subtle ways are uncovered in which women reproduce gender stereotypes in their intimate personal relationships on a daily basis. The results include that, in the private sphere, women still feel accountable for the emotional care work usually associated with the traditional female role of motherhood. Specifically, they seem to engage in a conscious process of internal, as well as, external emotional management. However, the effort undertaken by women to supervise the emotional climate of their relationships, as well as, their own feelings, was also found to be reciprocal in some cases, showing that there are complex ways in which young, modern couples resist gendered power.
Late-Life Depression & Alzheimer's Disease: A Proposal For The Bi-directional Threshold Model
Authors: Hoekman Lieke Michaela
Published: September 2019

Until now, the relationships between late-life depression and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and vice versa have only been investigated in terms of one-directional relationships. However, due to the central neuropathological mechanisms underlying both diseases, it is proposed that the interaction is bi-directional. These mechanisms include the stress-response hypothesis, amyloid hypothesis, inflammatory hypothesis, and genetic hypothesis. By reviewing these shared underlying mechanisms, as well as investigating the evidence for both one-directional relationships, a new model is proposed, namely the bi-directional threshold model. Whereas previous research only focused on one-directional interaction, this model is novel in accounting for the bi-directional interaction between AD and late-life depression. Thereby the model contributes to the literature on late-life depression and AD by serving as a starting point for further research. A better understanding of this new model could have major implications in ameliorating the course of both clinical conditions.
Becoming 'damaged goods'
Authors: Bowers Becca Anne , Rodriguez Parrado Amaia
Published: September 2019

This study examines how sex education performed at a Christian private school in Oregon (USA) affects female students’ sexuality. The study collected data through the use of qualitative semi-structured interviews which were then analysed using a thematic data analysis. The results show a handful of detrimental effects on sexuality caused by abstinence-based sex education including sex guilt, shame and fear. Additionally, findings demonstrate evidence of homophobic feelings perpetuated by abstinence-based sex education. Although abstinence-based sex education propagated many of the aforementioned harmful effects, it was not the only instigator. Institutionalised religion and religious pressure play a large role in one’s perception of abstinence as well. For further research, it is suggested to continue research on one’s development of sexuality in a hyper-religious context.
Nudging people out of poverty

Published: September 2019

New insights within the field of behavioural economics have led to the discovery of irrational behaviour of economic agents. The concept of ‘nudging’ is one approach to tackle this irrationality. Weillustrate that behavioural economics could be especially helpful for tackling poverty, as the lives of the poor make them very vulnerable to income shocks. Also, the poor constantly deplete their mentalresources. Moreover, we discuss ethical regulations for policies based on behavioural economics, centered around the idea of transparency. Finally, we present ideas scholars have put forward thatcould be used to tackle poverty by using behavioural economics and evaluate them from our own perspective.

Venture capital is one of the financial institutions whose existence is still relatively new. Institutional and formal venture capital is a new venture there after the release of Presidential Decree No. 61 of 1988 on Financing Institutions and MoF No. 1251 / KMK.013 / 1988 on Conditions and Procedures for Financing Institutions. Both this regulation represents a milestone development of the venture capital law.This research uses descriptive analytical approach, using normative juridical approach or approaches normative-legal method research approach, or by Zainudin called normative legal research or doctrinal legal research, namely legal research using secondary data.The role of venture capital firms is very strategic, Venture capital has a great potential to contribute to business development. Small companies which have good prospects but do not have enough capital and do not have access to banks can thrive with the support of capital from venture capital. With venture capital, the new company would like to start a business activity could also be easily run business originally.In the mechanism of venture capital, there are at least three elements that are directly involved, namely: capital owners who want a high profit from its equity. Capital from various sources or investors are collected in a container or a special institution established for that purpose; or so-called venture capital funds.

And the soul of unnatural death is not permitted to live in the Kathikho. The Liangmeis also perform rites and rituals in birth, marriage and death for wellbeing, prosperity and safe journey of the soul to the land of death.

Work Life Rhythm: Understanding the Sinusoidal Waves of Liveliness
Authors: Sriram S. , Rajini Dr.G.
Published: September 2019

The author of “The Seed” Mr.Jon Gordon says work or life balance is a myth. He explained in detail that he realized“the waves between work and life is more about rhythm than balance”. Finding the purpose and happiness in life and work. Nature’s idea of balance seems to be about rhythm, not parity, not seeking balance. There can be highs and lows and we do not have to struggle to make everything “balanced”. We all have those moments during the day when we need to speed up or when we need to slow down and chill and keep your rhythm. Find your rhythm. Instead of trying to slow down when you are in a rush and speed up when you feel sluggish, let us just go with the flow of things. Instead of life balance, we should focus on “Priority, Time, Purpose and then Passion”. In this paper, we suggest that rhythmicity is a key effect of priority and technology.We always look for change and we live in the world of continuous change, we should accept this to lead a satisfying life.
