Authors: Nugroho Arif , Mutiaraningrum Ira
Published: September 2020

The last two decades have been the witness of many studies reporting the disparity between EFL teachers� beliefs and practices in technology integration around the world. Notwithstanding the enormous studies on EFL teachers� beliefs and perceptions of digital technology use for language classroom, the literature has still been silent on the relation between Indonesian EFL teachers� beliefs and practices. The present study thus sheds some light on 15 EFL teachers� beliefs and practices about digital learning of English in Indonesia. Drawing on data from the written reflections and semi-structured interviews, the findings revealed that these EFL teachers were well equipped with the importance and objective of teaching English by means of digital devices, but appeared hesitant and lacked of preparation in their teaching practices. The semi-structured interview further depicted that their unconfident and lack of preparation was not only a result of inadequate training but also of limited resources and digital facilitation. The institutional supports influenced by environmental readiness also affected their efficacy for digital learning of English. The findings contribute to the realm of English language teaching with regards to offering literature of EFL teachers� professional development.

Perkembangan Dan Dinamika Pasar Sukuk Domestik: Sebuah Kajian Agenda Dan Kebijakan
Authors: Fathurrahman Ayief
Published: September 2020

One of Islamic financial sectors that attract much interest from the business community around the world is the global sharia obligation (sukuk) market. Sukuk has become an important instrument in sharia financial system, both as a financing instrument and investment. This instrument grew rapidly along with the growth and development of other conventional financial instruments. This estimation is based on the large number of infrastructure projects from the Gulf region and across the Muslim world seeking capital for development. This paper tries to answer the question: What are the factors that led to the issuance and development of sukuk in three countries, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, and Turkey? The result shows that government policy and agenda in order to develop sukuk can be concluded that the issuance of sukuk from three countries Indonesia, Malaysia and Turkey is influenced by several factors. However, the most dominant factor, even the factor that has always been the cause of the increased issuance of sukuk in three countries is the regulatory or policy factor, especially regarding the tax on sukuk and the existence of strong legal infrastructure as an umbrella of sukuk practice in a country. It can be said that the smaller the tax on the issuance of sukuk the more sukuk will be published. Then the second element of the regulatory factor is the existence of security guarantees in its implementation from the side of positive law imposed in a State. This factor is also very important especially in cases in Indonesia. With the legal clarity, there is no slit in the weakness of sukuk when compared with bonds. It is different from the two countries above, the advancement of sukuk issuance apart from being influenced by regulatory factors, Malaysia seems to be more benefited by the perception of the global community that Malaysia has become the Islamic economic and finance center in the world, so Malaysia is considered more experienced in this sector. This is a factor that may be considered by global investors, so that Malaysia is to be the right destination for sharia-based investment.Â Keywords: Sukuk Development, Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey

Memahami Kebijakan Ekonomi Politik Tiga Khalifah (Sebuah Kajian Historis Tiga Fase Peradaban Islam)
Authors: Fathurrahman Ayief
Published: September 2020

One thing that needs to be understood is that every result of human thought is always historical, tied to the space and time around it. The economic policies issued by Umar ibn Khat}t}a>b, Umar ibn Abdul Azi>z and Ghazan Khan must have certain truths in accordance with the dimensions of space and the cycle of time. However, the form of policy is an effort to solve the problems of the State, especially the economic sector that occurred in the middle of their leadership period. This article aims to examine the political economic thought of three caliphs, namely Umar ibn Khat}t}a>b, Umar ibn Abdul Azi>z, and Ghazan Khan with a historical approach. Political economic policy decided by Umar ibn Khat}t}a>b, Umar ibn Abdul Azi>z, and Ghazan Khan has a character that is flexible. It means however its method, during its goal to create welfare for the people and not in conflict with al-Quran and al-Sunnah, then that policy is applied. This was apparent when some of their policies are not always same as Prophetâ€™s policy, even differ from each other, but with that difference, the world has recorded them as a brilliant decision maker. The policy of the three caliphs teaches us the ultimate determinants of the economic policy of the meaning of welfare (mas}lah}ah) which form the basis of the formulation of one policy. Rigid economic system will only become a separate boomerang for economic growth itself. Because the true that the holy economic goal is not economic growth, but the welfare of mankind as perpetrators of economic activity in this hemisphere.Â Keywords: Islam, Economic-Politics, Flexible, Welfare
Relevansi Pemikiran Ekonomi Muhammad Baqir Ash-Sadr
Authors: Kambali Muhammad
Published: September 2020

The failure of the capitalist system in realizing just welfare becomes a necessity for mankind to deconstruct the economy of capitalism into a just and civic economic system which in this case of course Islamic economics deserves to be considered as one alternative in realizing human prosperity. As one of todayâ€™s contemporary muslim economists, Baqir Sadrâ€™s ideas are increasingly finding relevance to the current global economic situation. This article examines the thoughts of Baqir Sadr in the book Iqtishaduna (our Economic) by using the approach of library research. The results of this study include. First The idea that capitalism is a system that is solely oriented to the accumulation of capital and ignore the values outside the economic motive. The two important meanings of the Stateâ€™s role in economics at Baqir Sadrâ€™s foundation can be found in the notion of a conventional economist, one of which is former US Federal Reserve governor Alan Gleenspan, which highlights the importance of state involvement in economic activities as in the case of the Subprime Mortgage financial crisis. The three ideas of wealth distribution that require the circulation of property in both local and transnational domains become very relevant to see the imbalances that occur in the world today as the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) said as many as 20% of the rich in the world are enjoying 86% of world wealth, while 80% of the world's poor enjoy only 14% of the world's wealth.Â Keywords: Relevance, Capitalism Failure, Baqir Sadr Thought
Penerapan Maqashid Al-Shariâ€˜ah Pada Lembaga Keuangan Islam

Published: September 2020

Islamic finance made its first appearance in the 1970s. Since its inception, Islamic finance has made phenomenal progress and progressed beyond its traditional market into a global phenomenon. The recent global financial crisis has also brought Islamic finance into navel attention. Regardless of the minimal impact accused on Islamic finance, the crisis offers an opportunity for introspection and evaluation. It is inevitable to determine whether it can be a viable alternative to conventional systems in global financial markets. Therefore, Islamic financial institutions must ensure that all transactions are in accordance with sharia, not only in the form and technical law, but more importantly, in their economic substance, which should be based on the objectives outlined by the sharia, also known as maqa>s}id al-shari>â€™ah. This article aims at examining the concept of maqa>s}id al-shari>â€™ahÂ  of Islamic jurisprudence in order to appreciate its contribution toward more comprehensive, rational and realistic answers to contemporary financial issues and thereby to increase the awareness of the maqasid approach in structuring and developing Islamic finance products. For this purpose, the author examine the literal and conceptual meaning of maqa>s}id al-shari>â€™ahÂ  and scrutinise its position in Islamic law. They also highlight the essential elements of maqasid al-shari'ah and explain how this approach may contribute to better solutions for various Islamic finance issues and challenge. Islamic finance as an institution based on the ethical and moral framework of Islamic law assumes a distinctive role in society. Furthermore, the maqashid al-shariâ€™ah framework also implies that. The characteristics of Islamic finance institutions are shaped by higher Islamic legal objectives that emphasize overall social and economic goodness rather than infectious greed and infectious individualism. Productive benefits are commendable as long as they are in accordance with the principles of justice as determined in the sharia.Â Keywords: Framework, Maqashid al-Shariâ€˜ah, Islamic Finance

Published: September 2020

Indonesia has crucial economic issue that has a very negative impact on other sectors. The problem is unemployment. The unemployment is an economic problem itself. The unemployment can also be a psychological burden for those concerned as well as being a social problem with the emergence of various kinds of social diseases; criminal and immoral acts. In addition, the unemployment also has a negative impact on the decline of the aqidah and moral, households, nations and countries. From an economic standpoint, the unemployment is a major problem that weighs on the economy as a whole, because unemployment is a waste of the valuable potential of human resources that impact on the disbursement of natural resources. Where appropriate natural resources can be optimally and maximally motivated, it turns out to be wasted, because the work ethic of the community is very low. Islam as a universal religion, encourages its adherents to work by producing and pursuing economic activities in all its forms as one solution to overcome unemployment. The work recommended by Islam is to work well (ihsan) full of perseverance and professionalism. Fulfillment of basic needs is the responsibility of each individual and the state must provide facilities and infrastructure that support the implementation of this. The decision and direction of government policies have an important role in suppressing the unemployment rate.Â Keywords: Unemployment, Solutive Bid, Islamic Perspective

Permintaan, Penawaran Dan Keseimbangan Harga Dalam Prespektif Ekonomi Mikro Islam
Authors: Muflihin M. Dliyaul
Published: September 2020

In general, we believe that humans are social creatures with the need to complement each otherâ€™s lives, with each other's unlimited desires. While a Muslim is only allowed to consume halal and good. In Islamic teachings, illicit goods for consumption are not allowed to be made the basis of buying and selling or other transactions. In the demand and supply curves of Islam there are restrictions that must be done as a Muslim which is used as a basis for economic behavior. These restrictions are prohibited from making mafsadah, gharat, maisir, usury. This paper will answer the question how is the demand, supply and price balance in the perspective of Islamic microeconomics. The results of research shows that the concept of demand and supply in Islamic Islam aims to obtain prosperity or victory in the hereafter (falah) as a derivation of the belief that there is an eternal life after death, namely the after life, so that the existing budget must be set aside as provisions for the afterlife, such as alms and zakat. This means that there is a significant difference between conventional demand theory and Islamic demand theory. In conventional economics, consumers and producers have motivations that are dominated by the values of satisfaction, but in Islamic economics emphasizes only the level of need. The Islamic price balance mechanism in Islam is determined by the balance between demand and supply. This means that the price balance in the market is formed naturally, not because there is interference from the capitalist who can distort the market. This shows that the price regulation is left to the natural impersonal market mechanism.Â Keywords: Demand, Supply, Islamic perspective

Published: September 2020

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the results and complications of the subtalar arthrodesis technique conducted via arthroscopy. Methods: Searches were run on PubMed/Medline and Google Scholar for publications dated from 2007 to 2020. Original articles were included that reported the results of at least one comparative postoperative scale. Methodological quality was assessed using the PRISMA tool. Union rate, complications, and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score were prioritized. Results: A total of 124 references were identified and, after application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria and the PRISMA tool, 9 articles were eligible. A total of 180 patients were analyzed, with mean postoperative follow-up of 18 months (± 6) and with before and after AOFAS scores varying from 44 to 79 with p<0.001, demonstrating statistical relevance with significant improvement of AOFAS scores during the postoperative period. Deformity correction, improvement of pain, and rates of union were good and there was clinical improvement according to postoperative AOFAS scores, with few complications. However, the heterogeneous nature of studies, withvariations in techniques and samples, prevents generalization of the findings. Conclusion: The results of arthroscopic surgery for subtalar arthrodesis are good and rates of complications are low, but there are stillfew studies with high evidence levels that demonstrate the efficacy of the technique, although preliminary results are encouraging.

Authors: Morán Valeria Estefania , Olaz Fabian Orlando
Published: September 2020

El desempeño social de los individuos se ve influido por expectativas que personas tienen sobre el resultado de su conducta, ya que permiten anticipar el futuro y planificar cursos de acción. Las expectativas de rechazo social son definidas como pensamientos que anticipan la posibilidad de ser rechazado en una situación interpersonal y cuando son muy frecuentes pueden traer aparejado un sinnúmero de dificultades en la vida social de las personas. El objetivo de este estudio fue construir la Escala de Expectativas de Rechazo Social (ERS) para población adulta. En primer lugar, se confeccionaron 51 ítems preliminares que fueron sometidos a juicio de expertos (N = 6) para obtener evidencia de validez de contenido. En segundo lugar, utilizando muestreo accidental, se llevó a cabo un análisis factorial exploratorio (N = 320) y confirmatorio (N= 458). Como resultado se obtuvo una escala final compuesta por 27 ítems distribuidos en tres factores interpretados como Expectativas de rechazo ante situaciones con vínculos establecidos, Expectativas de rechazo en situaciones de establecimiento de nuevos vínculos y Expectativas de rechazo en lugares públicos y ante desconocidos. Se evaluó la consistencia interna de la escala, obteniendo coeficientes muy buenos y excelentes para cada factor (de .71 a .88). Finalmente, se obtuvieron correlaciones positivas significativas entre las escalas del test y diferentes medidas de ansiedad social. Se puede concluir que la ERS es un instrumento válido y confiable para la evaluación de las expectativas de rechazo social en población adulta, resultando una herramienta de utilidad en investigación y diagnóstico.

Differential expression of cathepsins in the blood of patients with viral co-infections.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2020

We mined a published microarray dataset (1) to identify the most significant changes in the blood of patients with viral co-infections. We found significant differential expression of multiple cathepsin proteins in patients with viral co-infections, suggesting the process of peptide cleavage for antigen processing may potentially be altered during viral co-infection.

A review on aversive Pavlovian-to-Instrumental transfer in humans
Authors: Gerlicher Anna , Kindt Merel
Published: September 2020

A cue that indicates imminent threat elicits a wide range of physiological, hormonal, autonomic, cognitive, and emotional fear responses in humans and facilitates threat-specific avoidance behavior. The occurrence of a threat cue can, however, also have general motivational effects and affect behavior. That is, the encounter with a threat cue can increase our tendency to engage in general avoidance behavior that does neither terminate nor prevent the threat-cue or the threat itself. Furthermore, the encounter with a threat-cue can substantially reduce our likelihood to engage in behavior that leads to rewarding outcomes. Such general motivational effects of threat-cues on behavior can be informative about the transition from normal to pathological anxiety and could also explain the development of comorbid disorders, such as depression and substance abuse. Despite the unmistakable relevance of the motivational effects of threat for our understanding of anxiety disorders, their investigation is still in its infancy. Pavlovian-to-Instrumental transfer is one paradigm that allows us to investigate such motivational effects of threat cues. Here, we review studies investigating aversive transfer in humans and discuss recent results on the neural circuits mediating Pavlovian-to-Instrumental transfer effects. Finally, we discuss potential limitations of the transfer paradigm and future directions for employing Pavlovian-to-Instrumental transfer for the investigation of motivational effects of fear and anxiety.
Individuals with dyslexia use a different visual reading strategy to sample text: Comprehensive evidence from eye-tracking
Authors: Franzen Léon , Stark Zoey , Johnson Aaron Paul
Published: September 2020

Individuals with dyslexia present with reading-related deficits including slow reading speed, and worse text comprehension and word encoding. Reports of visual symptoms such as atypical eye movements during reading gave rise to a search for these deficits’ underlying mechanisms. This study sought to replicate established behavioural deficits in reading and cognitive processing speed while investigating their underlying mechanisms in more detail by developing a comprehensive profile of eye movements specific to reading in adult dyslexia. Using a validated standardized reading assessment, our findings confirm a persistent reading speed deficit among adults with dyslexia. These individuals exhibited slower cognitive processing speed on one type of processing speed task, which correlated with reading speed across all readers. We observed different eye movements in readers with dyslexia across numerous eye movement metrics including the duration of a stop (i.e., fixation), the length of jumps (i.e., saccades), and the number of times a reader’s eyes expressed a jump atypical for reading. We conclude that individuals with dyslexia visually sample written information in a laborious and more effortful manner that is fundamentally different from those without dyslexia. Our findings suggest a mix of aberrant cognitive linguistic and oculomotor processes being present in adults with dyslexia.
VoiceLab: Automated Reproducible Acoustic Analysis
Authors: Feinberg David R. , Cook Oliver
Published: September 2020

Automated acoustical analysis is often difficult because a priori knowledge about vocalizers informs the search parameters of algorithms. As male and female voices differ on average, when measuring the voice, these a priori features unfortunately often manifest themselves by requiring the researcher to ask potentially invasive questions about the gender of the vocalizer, or assume the gender of the vocalizer in order to adjust analysis parameters. When adjusted by hand, this creates a research bottleneck. Furthermore, adjusted analysis parameters are rarely reported. With an increasing focus on inclusivity in research, as well as a focus on larger samples and big data, making new methods in voice analysis that can break these barriers accessible are essential. VoiceLab software offers automated acoustical analysis that does not require a priori knowledge of acoustic phonetics, idiosyncratic programming languages, or vocalizers’ gender, and automatically logs all analysis parameters. VoiceLab analyses are fully reproducible and require little to no knowledge about acoustical analysis from the user.
The Romanian Judicial Professions Database: An Open-Source Tool for Researching the Romanian Legal System
Authors: Pârvulescu Radu Andrei
Published: September 2020

Justice is a perennial topic in scholarship on Romania, from socialist legality, through transitional justice, and into anti-corruption. Systematic study of law and justice has been stymied, however, by lack of basic information: who was doing what, where, when and how? To begin addressing this shortcoming this article introduces the Romanian Judicial Professions Database, a new, open-source tool which provides yearly, person-level data on 10,000 judges, 5300 prosecutors, 3000 notaries public (notari publici), and 1000 bailiffs (executori judecătoreşti), in some cases going back to the 1970s. To illustrate the utility of these new data, I derive a series of measures which address existing findings as well as open questions in four areas of research: the communist legal system, transitional justice, anti-corruption, and social stratification. The database can be downloaded at https://osf.io/gfjke/ and supporting code at https://github.com/r-parvulescu/ro_judicial_professions.
Multidimensionality of gender ideology and relationships with gendered practices: an exploratory analysis across Europe in 2002 and 2012
Authors: Chung Heejung , Schober Pia S.
Published: September 2020

Many researchers assume a one-dimensionality of gender ideology constructs and/or stability of dimensions across countries and time, yet these assumptions have rarely been tested. WE apply factor analyses on two waves of the International Social Survey Programme in 2002 and 2012, and comparable European countries to test this. Our results show that gender ideologies can be distinguished into distinctive domains that relate to mother’s employment, women’s work, men’s role in the family, and finally women’s breadwinning. These dimensions have be found to be relatively stable across countries and time. Results from regression models investigating different aspects of the gender division of labour suggest that distinguishing dimensions is less important when considering gender ideologies at the individual level but can make a big difference when examining gender culture at the country level.
नेपालमा सङ्घात्मक व्यवस्थाको स्थापना र औचित्य Nepalma Sanghatmak Byabasthako Sthapana ra Aauchityaa
