DISCOVERING POLICY, ATTITUDE, AND CONSTRAINTS ON SCHOOL-BASED MANAGEMENT
Authors: Yasin Burhanuddin , Apriani Fata Ika
Published: May 2020

Purpose of the study: This research mainly focuses on identifying and analyzing policies, attitudes, and constraints made by the bureaucrats of education and other school stakeholders about the existence of school-based management (henceforth called SBM), and further it examines the obstacles encountered in implementing school-based management.

Methodology: The research used is descriptive analysis. In assessing data, this study used two types of measurements, namely, questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaire was used to explore the attitude of the stakeholders toward the existence of SBM. A total of 520 respondents have distributed the questionnaires which contained 60 items of each of these categories: instructional competence (10), professional competence (10), financial competence (10), and leadership issue (30). Furthermore, in the interview section, all four respondents are from each representative of four districts; Banda Aceh, Aceh Besar, Sigli, and Lhokseumawe. The framework of interview guidelines was then adapted from Daresh, et al. (2010) and the interview is eventually to grasp the respondents’ views on the obstacles and constraints on the implementation of SBM.

Main Findings: The results of this study reveal that there were no written policies drawn up at the provincial and district level of the ministry of education about the implementation of SBM. Most stakeholders more than 50% tended to view the existence of SBM as positive. Although SBM has never been formally implemented in schools, some schools have started implementing some of the SBM concepts.

Applications of this study: The researchers found that there are a variety of obstacles faced during the implementation, including decentralization, authority, decision-making, knowledge of management practices, roles and responsibilities, compensation, finance, leadership, and community care.

Novelty/Originality of this study: To date, there is a limited amount of studies with their main focus on school-based management in Indonesia. Based on the written policies of school-based management is considered one of the vital elements to reach a good education.  Besides, schools must have SBM due to it is regarded as the guideline to examine whether the bureaucrats of education and school stakeholders have already implemented the regulation to run the education accordingly.

Published: May 2020

Purpose of the study: A textbook is a book containing comprehensive teaching-learning materials for a certain subject which is regularly used by both teachers and students at school. Textbooks should not contain unfair content or matters, such as gender bias. This study was conducted to examine the extent to which gender bias appears in the EFL textbook mostly employed in Aceh, Indonesia.

Methodology: This research was aimed at investigating the representation levels of gender in English elementary textbooks of Grow with English book 4, book 5, and book 6. A content analysis method was used, for which every page of the textbooks was investigated to explore the five aspects of visibility, priority, feminine/masculine generic construction, activity, and occupation.

Main Findings: The result of the investigation shows that every textbook contains gender bias of various representation levels. Males dominated three categories, namely priority, activity, and occupation. Meanwhile, females are only dominant in the visibility category. The results suggest that the EFL textbooks mostly used in Aceh are still not free from gender bias issues.

Applications of this study: Indonesia is a country where English is used as a Foreign Language (EFL). Indonesian schools are apt to use textbooks written by Indonesian authors as the major source for English instruction in schools. Therefore, researchers should focus their attention on the content of English textbooks used in schools because they become the guidance for these students in learning.

Novelty/Originality of this study: The results of the study suggest that the EFL textbook should be considered for revision to ensure that it is free from unfair content. This is aimed at national textbook designers when they have to produce a textbook for Indonesian learners so that the books they make available to schools are free from gender bias issues in the textbooks.
A Note on Detection of Communities in Social Networks
Authors: Sridevi P.
Published: May 2020

The modern Science of Social Networks has brought significant advances to our understanding of the Structure, dynamics and evolution of the Network. One of the important features of graphs representing the Social Networks is community structure. The communities can be considered as fairly independent components of the social graph that helps identify groups of users with similar interests, locations, friends, or occupations. The community structure is closely tied to triangles and their count forms the basis of community detection algorithms. The present work takes into consideration, a triangle instead of the edge as the basic indicator of a strong relation in the social graph. A simple triangle counting algorithm is then used to evaluate different metrics that are employed to detect strong communities. The methodology is applied to Zachary Social network and discussed. The results bring out the usefulness of counting triangles in a network to detect strong communities in a Social Network.
TOTP Based Authentication Using QR Code For Gateway Entry System
Authors: Abhishek Arvind  , Pradyumna Mahajan  , Rishikesh Chalke
Published: May 2020

In today’s scenario, there are various ways the attackers can gain access to secure information and use it for their own benefit. In this paper, we aim to improve the gateway entry system by providing more security. This system involves the use of TOTP (Time-Based One-Time Password) with QR (Quick Response) code. A QR code is a 2D matrix barcode where a large amount of information can be stored in a compact manner. TOTP is a temporary password that is active for a short duration of time. For every 30 seconds, an OTP is generated. A QR code is generated which contains the TOTP. The QR code is scanned and the server checks the TOTP generated on the server-side. If this TOTP matches with the TOTP in the QR code then the user is allowed to enter. This method increases the security of the system and prevents unauthorized access.

Aim: Bleeding is a major problem in cardiac surgery, and results in a high risk of allogeneic blood transfusion associated with increased morbidity and mortality. In recent years, studies in the literature reported that desmopressin (1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin, DDAVP) reduces the blood loss after surgical interventions. The aim of the present study is to analyze the effect of desmopressin and tranexamic acid on blood product use and postoperative bleeding in patients that were pretreated with P2Y12 inhibitors by cardiologists and undergone emergent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Material and Methods:The prospectively collected data of 62 adult patients who underwent emergent isolated CABG surgery and pretreated with P2Y12 inhibitors by cardiologists were retrospectively reviewed. The perioperative data of the patients included their demographic data, laboratory findings, the amount of blood loss from chest tubes, the amount of blood product use, need of re-thoracotomy, morbidity and mortality. The patient population was divided into two groups: Group I: Patients that received tranexamic acid and DDAVP perioperatively (n=26); and Group II: Patients that received only tranexamic acid perioperatively (n=36). Results: The two groups of patients had similar characteristics at baseline. There was a statistically significant difference between Group I and II regarding postoperative blood loss from the chest tubes, re-thoracotomy, red blood cell and thrombocyte transfusions (p<0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of fresh frozen plasma transfusion, inotropic support and mortality.Conclusion: We suggest that desmopressin in addition to tranexamic acid reduces bleeding and the amount of blood product use in patients undergoing emergent isolated CABG surgery.
Study of Vortex Noise of Rotating Blades
Authors: Moshkov P.A.
Published: May 2020

The paper gives a brief overview of propeller noise generation mechanisms. The vortex component of the propeller noise is considered in detail. The results of the study of the vortex noise of rotating rods in open areas are presented. The spectral, integral and spatial characteristics of the acoustic field of the rotating rods are obtained. We established that the audibility of rotating rods considered is determined by radiation in the frequency range 250--1250 Hz. We summarized the results of the studies regarding the effect of the flow around the blade profile, characterized by the Reynolds number, on the vortex noise intensity. Findings of research show that the exponent of the dependence of the vortex sound intensity on the characteristic velocity around the blade profile in various ranges of the Reynolds number can vary significantly. When changing the value of lg Re in the range from 1.8 to 5, the final dependence of growth rate exponent first falls from 6 to 3, remains equal to 3 in the range of lg Re from 2.65 to 3.2, and then again increases to 6 for lg Re in the range from 3.4 to 3.7, and with an even larger increase, the exponent increases from 7 to 8 and above (to 11) to lg Re = 4.5. At higher Reynolds numbers, (over 106) corresponding to self-similar modes of flow around the blades of light propeller aircraft, the exponent is 5. Based on the study, we recommend using one of the well-known trailing edge noise models for calculating the vortex noise of propellers at the sketch design stage. The paper also introduces the main methods formulated for reducing the intensity of the vortex sound of rotating blades

Authors: Mehta U. , Prasad R. , Kothari K.
Published: May 2020

Supercapacitors (SCs) are used extensively in high-power potential energy applications like renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, power electronics, and many other industrial applications. This is due to SCs containing high-power density and the ability to respond spontaneously with fast charging and discharging demands. Advancements in material and fabrication techniques have induced a scope for research to improve the application of SCs. Many researchers have studied various SC properties and their effects on energy storage and management performance. In this paper, various fractional calculus-based SC models are summarized, with emphasis on analytical studies from derived classical SC models. Study prevails such parameterized resistor–capacitor networks have simplified the representation of electrical behavior of SCs to deal with the complicated internal structure. Fractional calculus has been used to develop SC models with the aim of understanding their complicated structure. Finally, the properties of different SC models utilized by various researchers to understand the behavior of SCs are listed using an equivalent circuit.
A influência da fachada do entorno edificado no desempenho da iluminação natural
Authors: Barbosa Nádia Milena , Carvalho Cabús Ricardo
Published: May 2020

São vários os fatores que interferem no comportamento da luz natural e que podem causar desconforto visual no interior dos ambientes. Entre eles estão os referentes ao entorno edificado como a verticalização, a geometria e a refletância das fachadas. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo aborda a influência de dois parâmetros: o ângulo formado entre as fachadas de uma sala de estudo e da obstrução e a refletância da superfície externa da obstrução no desempenho da iluminação natural em edifícios da cidade de Maceió. Utilizando a ferramenta de simulação computacional TropLux 7, são projetados cenários hipotéticos variando o ângulo entre a fachada da obstrução e a da sala de estudo em 0°, 22,5° e 45° e a refletância da superfície externa da obstrução em 0,5 e 0,8 para, num estudo quantitativo, analisar a influência desse entorno na iluminância média anual e na uniformidade dentro da sala. As iluminâncias processadas seguem os padrões exigidos pela NBR-CIE-8995. Os resultados obtidos a partir da análise paramétrica e estatística dos dados apontam que a variação do ângulo não proporciona um aumento representativo na iluminância e na uniformidade, o mesmo se observa com a variação da refletância da superfície externa da obstrução. Tais fatos podem ser explicados pelo fator de visão de céu que se manteve constante.

Published: May 2020

Se presentan resultados de una investigación en la que se analizaron clases de matemáticas desde el enfoque ontosemiótico. El enfoque de la investigación fue cualitativo con un método etnográfico de estudio de caso. Se realizó el análisis didáctico de una clase de cálculo integral dividida en cuatro momentos, en donde se identificaron los objetos y procesos matemáticos y se determinó qué tipo de conflictos semióticos se generan. Se destaca que los procesos por parte de la profesora son de institucionalización, representación, materialización, idealización y reificación. En algunas ocasiones se presentan procesos de significación y de generalización. Los procesos más comunes por parte de los estudiantes son los de representación, materialización e idealización. Muy pocas veces se presentan procesos de personalización y reificación, ya que la forma en que la docente da una clase no permite identificar cuándo cada estudiante participa en la construcción de los significados.

The results of the calculation of total bacteria by the TPC method showed that the total bacterial total was 15.8 x 105 CFU / gram. The limit of microbial contamination according to the 2009 SNI for fresh fish is 5 x 105 CFU / gram so that fresh nila fish from Sawiyoh Sidoarjo pond has a number of bacterial contamination above the stipulated threshold.Keywords: Nila Fish, Gram Staining, Salmonella sp., Salmonella-Shigella Agar, Total Plate Count, Triple Sugar Iron Agar
CULTURALLY-SENSITIVE PSYCHIATRIC NURSING CARE: AN IMPORTANT PRELIMINARY INTERVENTION IN COMMUNITY-BASED ACUTE CARE SETTINGS
Authors: Gallego Randy Ian Ferenal
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACKPsychiatric nursing care is an indispensable aspect of the total health care services provided by nurses in both the acute and chronic care settings. This study investigated the extent of preliminary clinical nursing care provided by registered nurses in dealing with clients who have unique psycho-behavioral needs. It further looked into the relationship between the nurses’ socio-economic profile including their ethnic affiliation and the acute care services offered to patients admitted in the regular hospital, non-psychiatric healthcare settings. It used a descriptive-correlational design through a validated and reliability-tested instrument responded by 113 staff nurses from six hospitals around Lanao del Sur. It involved the statistical analysis of data using frequency, weighted mean, and Pearson correlation. The findings show that the nurse-respondents of the selected hospitals in Lanao del Sur generally considers the extent of implementation of the six nursing care areas (counseling, milieu therapy, self-care activities, psychobiologic interventions & health-teachings, case management, health promotion and maintenance) as frequently done or as generally emphasized in about 75% of the time in their respective clinical areas.  When tested at 0.05 level of significance, the p-value obtained was less than the critical value (p=0.00-0.006) revealing that the ethnic affiliation of nurses was significantly correlated to the health promotion and maintenance care that they provide to clients with psycho-behavioral pathologies. Therefore, nurses serving in acute clinical settings need to possess a significant amount of competency in psychiatric care to be able to render preliminary interventions despite non-specialist background. Nurses also have to be cognizant of the cultural history and background of the clients being served even at the preliminary phase of the nurse-patient interaction and accommodate them with nursing interventions based on transcultural competence.Keywords: Culturally-sensitive psychiatric care, psycho-behavioral pathologies, preliminary psychiatric interventions, psychiatric care in acute settings

Authors: Rofika Ainur Mila , Hariastuti Iswari
Published: May 2020

Background: Child marriage is still common in Indonesia both in urban and rural areas. One of possible causes is socio-cultural background. In Madura, the community still stick to culture and customs. Child marriage, one of among others, has become Madurese culture and legalized custom that was inherited to this day as seen in Pagarbatu Village, Sumenep. Objective: The study analyzed the effect of socio-cultural factors on the occurrence of child marriage to girls. Method: This study used a descriptive research design with a qualitative approach. It took place in Pagarbatu Village, Saronggi Sub-District, Sumenep District. The research subjects were women under the age of 18 who engaged in child marriages. Data were collected from April to May 2018. Results: The results showed that socio-cultural factors affect misconduct practices that leads to child marriage, especially among girls. Misconduct practices in child marriage are arranged marriages, age manipulations, witchcraft practices. Child marriage becomes a reason to ease family’s financial burden and also to keep tracing lineage to early ancestors. Religious beliefs are still strong in Madurese community. When females were tranced, they would be married for such mystical experience to get out of trance. Besides, there were other factors of child marriage, such as the lack of community leaders’ roles (village officials), the lack of health workers’ roles, age, education, knowledge, and family economy. Conclusion: There is a relationship between social and cultural factors with child marriage.

Published: May 2020

The participation of private and military contractors in armed conflicts is the contemporary phenomenon that concerned policymakers and military strategists, particularly Russian contractors. This phenomenon attracts most politicians to set up initiatives and to draw international guidelines to all concerned parties. The purpose of this research paper is to investigate the condition of Russian private military and security companies (PMSCs) in recent armed conflicts. The research is based on the realism approach, which will help explain Russian state behavior towards PMSCs, while the neoliberalism approach will help to explore this phenomenon from the Russian economic perspective. This research applies inductive, exploratory, and qualitative approaches, which solely based on secondary resources and media contents. The main finding of this research shows that those contractors have obligations under International Humanitarian Law (IHL), but the only limitation is the state’s obligation to endorse them.  Besides, it seems that an international treaty between countries could be a practical step towards having a useful regulatory framework.

Published: May 2020

This micro-level study conducted on tow Bangladeshi colleges intended to explore how far learners have engaged actively in the process of learning and teaching. This article (1) examines the nature and character of active learning and (2) elucidates the present approach of learning in practice in the higher education of Bangladesh at the college level affiliated with National University, Bangladesh. The investigation completed by applying the mixture of qualitative and quantitative approaches, though it is primarily focused on qualitative analysis. Data collected based on two cases. In addition, four FGD sessions have arranged with teachers and students and two of them with the teacher and rest two with the students. In this case study, we come across that student-teacher engagement in learning is very low. There are few scopes for reaching students' behavior, motivation levels in the learning situation. Absenteeism is very high in the students as well as in the teacher. Both the learners and instructors involved in learning for a short period of time. Their staying in the institution for short is a barrier to a high level of engagement in teaching-learning. As a consequence, they do not become the anytime, anywhere learner thereby not lifelong learners

Published: May 2020

This paper examines various models of entrepreneurship in the recruiting, managing, and organizing of Human Resources of an enterprise or organization. It adds to the growing body of literature in entrepreneurship by reviewing literature that examines the relationship between entrepreneurship and the Human resource management practice. It examines the theoretical framework that underpins the relationship between HRM and entrepreneurship. The study introduces strategic HRM as an entrepreneurial strategy whereby employees are applied as instruments needed to fully accomplish organizational objectives. It concludes that in starting a new firm or maintaining an already established organization where resources are limited, entrepreneurship and the role of an entrepreneur becomes a crucial management function in the selection and personal development of the human resource competencies. Organizations are therefore encouraged to imbibe the role of entrepreneurship in the managing of Human Resources in order to drive innovativeness, lead change, and make continuous improvements.

Published: May 2020

A Vibro-Acoustic Finite Element Method (FEM) model capable of calculating the transient sound pressure generated by the door slam of a vehicle was developed in this study. A design sensitivity analysis (DSA) was performed for investigating the effects of major design variables on the related sound quality metrics. The methodology was developed using a sedan-car and its FEM model. This paper shows that a Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) model can be used as a rather powerful tool for giving design change decisions for the door components from sound quality point of view during vehicle body development according to psychoacoustic parameters.
Salinas. Paisaje de silencio = Salt flats. A silent landscape
Authors: Abad Flores Reyes , Gross Ariza Macarena
Published: May 2020

RESUMEN: La serie fotográfica Salinas. Paisajes de silencio presentada en el Seminario internacional Paisajes de la sal (UPM 2019) se inserta en un proyecto de investigación estética que busca retratar espacios pensados, diseñados para/desde el silencio dentro de los límites de Andalucía. Este conjunto de paisajes evocadores y cautos, estimula una percepción ajena a ciertos estereotipos culturales y estéticos vinculados, fundamentalmente, a la tradición urbana. En la búsqueda intuitiva de estos espacios imprecisos, las salinas se convierten en objetivo clave por su fórmula paisajística natural, artesanal y su plástica cambiante. Las imágenes generan una ficción, un lugar idealizado y necesario donde la naturaleza es protagonista y la presencia humana relegada. Siguiendo un juego de sinestesias, una serie de objetos interactúan con el medio, evocando un sonido, un sabor, un estado, una historia y una luz. La serie está realizada por completo en las salinas de Bonanza de Sanlúcar de Barrameda (Cádiz). ABSTRACT:The photographic serie Salt flats. A silent landscape was presented in the International Seminary Cultural Landscapes of Artisan Salt (UPM 2019) as part of an artistic research proyect about a range of scenaries and territories whitin the limits of Andalusia that embodies the aestehtic values of silence. These evocative and guarded landscapes bring a perspective that differs from the stereotyped views of the local traditions and cultural identity. The beauty of the salt flats soon became an inspiration and a main focus of the work. The mix of natural landscape, artisanal production and the changing appearance of plastic elements generates a fiction and an idealistic vision of a silent landscape, a particular concept of photography that emphazises the beauty of nature and relegates the human presence to a second place. A number of objects related to the popular culture and the artisanal production of salt interact with the enviroment and the artistic intentionality is build around a shared body of synesthesia: a sound, a light, a taste, a story, an emotion... The photographic serie was made in the historic salt flats of Sanlúcar de Barrameda (Cádiz).
Multiple Sclerosis: Lipids, Lymphocytes, and Vitamin D
Authors: Hayes Colleen E. , Ntambi James M.
Published: May 2020

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. We review the two core MS features, myelin instability, fragmentation, and remyelination failure, and dominance of pathogenic CD4+ Th17 cells over protective CD4+ Treg cells. To better understand myelin pathology, we describe myelin biosynthesis, structure, and function, then highlight stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) in nervonic acid biosynthesis and nervonic acid's contribution to myelin stability. Noting that vitamin D deficiency decreases SCD in the periphery, we propose it also decreases SCD in oligodendrocytes, disrupting the nervonic acid supply and causing myelin instability and fragmentation. To better understand the distorted Th17/Treg cell balance, we summarize Th17 cell contributions to MS pathogenesis, then highlight how 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 signaling from microglia to CD4+ T cells restores Treg cell dominance. This signaling rapidly increases flux through the methionine cycle, removing homocysteine, replenishing S-adenosyl-methionine, and improving epigenetic marking. Noting that DNA hypomethylation and inappropriate DRB1∗1501 expression were observed in MS patient CD4+ T cells, we propose that vitamin D deficiency thwarts epigenetic downregulation of DRB1#x2217;1501 and Th17 cell signature genes, and upregulation of Treg cell signature genes, causing dysregulation within the CD4+ T cell compartment. We explain how obesity reduces vitamin D status, and how estrogen and vitamin D collaborate to promote Treg cell dominance in females. Finally, we discuss the implications of this new knowledge concerning myelin and the Th17/Treg cell balance, and advocate for efforts to address the global epidemics of obesity and vitamin D deficiency in the expectation of reducing the impact of MS.
