O estágio é uma atividade educativa realizada de forma prática e supervisionada com o objetivo de desenvolver as habilidades do educando, bem como de adaptá-lo à vivência profissional. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a contribuição do estágio extracurricular na construção do conhecimento de acadêmicos de Fisioterapia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, que adotou como estratégia de coleta de dados a entrevista semiestruturada. Os participantes foram seis estudantes de Fisioterapia: quatro de uma instituição privada e dois de uma instituição pública de ensino superior, ambas localizadas na cidade de Salvador, Bahia. Utilizou-se um instrumento de criação própria com 13 questões, norteador da temática e pertinente ao objetivo da pesquisa. Realizou-se a análise de conteúdo do tipo temática, estruturada a partir da leitura de cada depoimento transcrito na íntegra, com o intuito de apreender o seu sentido geral. A partir da análise dos depoimentos de acadêmicos de fisioterapia que vivenciaram o estágio extracurricular, percebe-se que a questão financeira é a principal motivação para formação profissional. Nota-se que as instituições concedentes de estágio, que trabalham com protocolos fisioterapêuticos padronizados, exigem dos estagiários uma demanda maior de atendimentos. Os procedimentos ocorrem de forma “mecânica”; de forma geral, não existem oportunidades para que os discentes contribuam para a elaboração do diagnóstico e plano terapêutico. Por outro lado, relatos de discentes vinculados a estágios da rede pública e a serviços de alta complexidade demonstram que, de acordo com as suas experiências, o estágio extracurricular é um ambiente propício para o desenvolvimento de competências e habilidades necessárias para a formação do fisioterapeuta. Por fim, todos os participantes relataram que os estágios proporcionaram importante contribuição para a relação terapeuta-paciente.

PENERAPAN MODEL SECI DALAM PROGRAM PENGEMBANGAN PROFESIONAL UNTUK MENINGKATKAN MODAL INTELEKTUAL GURU [IMPLEMENTATION OF SECI MODELS IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE TEACHERS' INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL]
Authors: Wu Susandi
Published: August 2019

Schools are an important key for a nation because schools play a role in preparing the nation's next generation. Schools are organizations that require good knowledge management. The knowledge that schools have  is the work of their members, the teachers. The knowledge possessed by teachers varies. For this reason, schools must create a system so that knowledge can be shared and learned by all the teachers in the school. One way that can be done is by implementing a professional development program. Through this program, there will be a process of knowledge transfer according to the SECI model. This program is effective in increasing the knowledge of teachers and thus their intellectual capital. If the intellectual capital of the teachers increases, their competence in teaching will also develop and they can create a better generation for the nation.

BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK: Sekolah adalah kunci penting suatu bangsa, karena sekolah berperan dalam mempersiapkan generasi penerus bangsa. Sekolah merupakan sebuah organisasi yang memerlukan pengelolaan pengetahuan yang baik. Pengetahuan yang dimiliki sekolah adalah hasil kreasi para anggotanya, yaitu para guru. Pengetahuan yang dimiliki oleh para guru, tidaklah sama antara satu dan yang lainnya. Untuk itu, sekolah harus menciptakan suatu sistem agar pengetahun tersebut dapat dibagikan dan dipelajari oleh semua guru di dalamnya. Salah satu cara yang dapat dilakukan adalah mengadakan program pengembangan professional. Melalui program ini, maka akan terjadi proses perpindahan pengetahuan menurut model SECI. Program ini efektif untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan para guru yang merupakan modal intelektual mereka. Jika modal intelektual para guru bertambah, maka kompetensi mereka juga akan berkembang terutama dalam pengajaran. Hal ini diharapkan dapat menciptakan generasi penerus bangsa yang berkompetensi tinggi di kemudian hari.
THE EFFECTS OF AN EFL TEXTBOOK ON LEARNERS’ IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION
Authors: Priyanti Neng
Published: August 2019

It has been generally accepted that language learning, to some extent, affects identity construction and such a complex relationship has generated a considerable amount of research papers and literature. Few studies, however, have looked into and discussed how teaching media (e.g., language textbooks) contributes to learners’ identity construction particularly in the context of Indonesia. This study attempts to address this gap by analyzing an EFL textbook and then, grafting on several theoretical frameworks, discussing its contribution to the formation of learners’ identity. Its pedagogical implications are also discussed.

Published: August 2019

Objective The current study is the first experimental study of which has evaluated the MICs and MBCs of ZnONPs, MgONPs, and mixture MgONPs-ZnONPs against H 37 Rv Mtb and MDR-Mtb.Results The MIC of MgONPs and ZnONPs were 0.195 and 0.468 µg.ml -1 against 10 4 of H 37 Rv Mtb. As well, 0.166 µg.ml -1 of MgONPs-ZnONPs was able to inhibit 10 -4 H 37 Rv Mtb. The MIC of MgONPs against 10 4 concentrations of MDR-Mtb was 12.5 µg.ml -1 . The MIC of MgONPs/ZnONPs against 10 4 concentrations of MDR-Mtb reached to 0.664 µg.ml -1 . Based on the results, the MBC value of ZnONPs increased to 1.875 µg.ml -1 against 10 -4 concentrations of MDR-Mtb. Testing showed that the MBCs of MgONPs/ZnONPs reached to 1.328 µg.ml -1 against 10 4 concentrations of MDR-Mtb. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) against MDR-TB was 0.779 µg.ml -1 for ZnONPs and 0.883 µg.ml -1 for MgONPs-ZnONPs. The MgONPs-ZnONPs was not toxic to Vero cell lines however ZnONPs could inhibit the Vero and HepG 2 cell lines. We found that ZnONPs and mixture MgONPs-ZnONPs not only have higher bactericide behavior but might have also synergistic effects against MDR-TB.

Published: August 2019

Objective: A total of 205 animals from four Egyptian livestock species were used in this study to detect polymorphism and perform comparative analysis for IGFBP-3 gene using DNA sequencing and (PCR-RFLP). Results: The digestion of 654 bp with HaeIII restriction enzyme yielded a single restriction pattern of eight fragments in sheep revealing the absence of polymorphism, while in cattle 3 genotypes were identified; (AA), (AB), and (BB). Moreover, one genotype (AA) only was found in buffalo using HeaIII and MspI restriction enzymes, separately. Digestion profile for a goat with HaeIII revealed only one pattern for three DNA fragments, which means the absence of polymorphism within the IGFBP-3 gene in the tested goats. The nucleotide sequencing analysis indicated similarity percentages in IGFBP-3 gene fragments of 77, 30 and 58% between ''sheep and cattle '', ''sheep and buffalo '', and ''cattle and buffalo'', respectively.

Effect of voluntary breathing exercises on stable coronary artery disease in heart rate variability and rate-pressure product: a study protocol for a single blind, prospective randomized controlled trial
Authors: Wu Qing , Liu Lin , Jiang Xin , Hu Yao-Yao , Liang Qiu-Shi , He Zhi-Song , Xue Yuan , Zhu Wei , Tang Zai-Xiang , Hou Yun-Ying , Zhao Qi , Wang Xiao-Hua
Published: August 2019

Background: At present, China has more than 11 million patients with stable coronary heart disease, becoming a major public health problem. The pathological changes of coronary heart disease can lead to dysfunction of cardiac autonomic nervous system, which increases the risk of complications such as malignant arrhythmia (ventricular flutter, ventricular fibrillation, etc.), heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and rate-pressure-product (RPP), which is highly correlated with myocardial oxygen consumption and indirectly reflects myocardial blood supply and oxygen consumption. Although the guidelines recommend that such patients take drugs to reduce heart rate and myocardial oxygen consumption, the clinical control of heart rate is still not ideal. Thus, in this trial, we will use voluntary breathing exercises as the strategy of exercise rehabilitation patients with SCAD, in order to increase the vagus nerve activity and/or reduce the sympathetic nervous activity, help maintain or rebuild the balance of plant nerve system, improve the time domain index of heart rate variability, reduce the burden on the heart, relieve patients' anxiety and other negative emotions. Methods: This is a 6 months single-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial that will be conducted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. Eighty patients who fill out the Informed Consent Form are registered and randomized 1:1 into the VBE-based clinical trial monitoring group (n = 40) or the Routine follow-up group (n = 40). The VBE-based clinical trial monitoring group is given VBE training on the basis of conventional treatment and health education, while the control group received conventional health education and follow-up. The primary outcome will be measured heart rate variability (HRV) and rate-pressure product (RPP). Secondary outcomes will include changes in self-rating anxiety ccale (SAS), total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C),low density lipoprotein(LDL-C), weight and body mass index (BMI). Discussion: This trial will carry out scientific respiratory exercise for patients with stable coronary heart disease, which belongs to the category of active secondary prevention for patients, and changes from remedial to pre-protective. VBE is easy to operate, and is not limited by time and place. It is very important and meaningful to carry out VBE for patients with SCAD. This study will provide considerable evidence for further large-scale trials and alternative strategies for the rehabilitation nursing of patients with SCAD. Trial registration: This study is registered at Chinese Clinical Trials Registry.gov, ID:1900024043.Registered on 23 June 2019.
Dynamic Texture Map Based Artifact Reduction For Compressed Videos
Authors: Thai Nguyen Van , Tuan Do-Hong , Dung Vo Trung
Published: August 2019

This paper proposes a method of artifact reduction in compressed videos using dynamic texture map together with artifact maps and 3D - fuzzy filters. To preserve better details during filtering process, the authors introduce a novel method to construct a texture map for video sequences called dynamic texture map. Then, temporal arifacts such as flicker artifacts and mosquito artifacts are also estimated by advanced flicker maps and mosquito maps. These maps combined with fuzzy filters are applied to intraframe and interframe pixels to enhancecompressed videos. Simulation results verify the advanced performance of the proposed fuzzy filtering scheme in term of visual quality, SSIM, PSNR and flicker metrics in comparisionwith existing state of the art methods.
Green economy in Tanzania: Is it foreseeable?
Authors: Mihayo Isege Zephania , Swai Rosemary Michael
Published: August 2019

The green economy is one of the major pathways to sustainable development. In achieving sustainable development, Tanzania just like some other developing countries, has made efforts in transit to such kind of economy. The country does not have any specific national policy or strategy on the green economy. However, there have been different, direct, and indirect actions that have been implemented in support of the green economy initiative. The paper reviews how far the green economy is foreseeable in Tanzania. Firstly, explore the work of different activities and initiatives towards attaining green economy together with their effectiveness and challenges. Starts by review on the well-known national initiatives that are mainly funded by the developed partners, then national strategic development plans and programs. The work found that there is no enough researches and information on the role of already established policies, laws, and regulation. This study concludes by discussing the identified strength and weakness of the initiatives, providing suggestions on where will these initiatives take Tanzania as long as green economy is concerned, and therefore provide recommendations.
Brazilian National Housing Policy
Authors: Mendes Bezerra Renata
Published: August 2019

Regarding the National Housing Policy in Brazil, this paper aims to identify how institutional capacities vary into municipalities, and if this variation is related to housing deficit rates. Specific literature explains that the supply of housing services depends on the existence of agencies and resources to plan and execute public policies. This paper tests the hypothesis that there is a negative correlation between the level of institutional development and housing deficit – so that higher institutional development implies lower rates of housing deficit. An institutional development index (IDI) was created, based on the existence (or not) of Municipal Housing Fund and Municipal Housing Council. The research design combined the methods of principal component analysis, ANOVA and a regression model of ordinary least squares (OLS). Using descriptive and multivariate analysis, the main finding was that higher institutional development is associated with lower housing deficit rates in most of Brazilian municipalities.
Freedom of Expression and Communicative Equality
Authors: Francisquini Renato
Published: August 2019

This paper addresses the normative issue of free speech within the landscape of democratic societies where the mediated form of communication appears as a central feature. Contemporary discussions about free speech tend assimilate press freedom to a notion of freedom of expression as a negative liberty, so repudiating every single regulation to the mass media. In opposition to that line of thought, I argue that media freedom cannot be justified by analogy with negative liberty. The most convincing justification for the principle of freedom of expression relies on the idea of the fair value of communicative liberties, or the idea that society must assure fair opportunities for the exercise of communication. Following this account, I affirm that the institutions responsible for mediating the expressive acts should be structured in a way that contributes, at once, to individual self-determination and collective self-government.
The Distinction and Relationship between Ontology and Epistemology
Authors: Kant Sarita-Louise
Published: August 2019

In the social sciences, a distinction is generally drawn between ontology and epistemology, usually accompanied by the assumption that some relationship exists between ontology and epistemology. In this regard several issues arise. Whereas there seems to be general agreement on the meaning of the concepts ‘ontology’ and ‘epistemology’, there seems to be no agreement on what can be classified as ontological or epistemological. The distinction and particularly the relationship between ontology and epistemology is furthermore regarded by some scholars as problematic and contested. The aim is to examine the distinction and the presumed nature of this relationship in order to establish why it is contested. It is extremely important to take cognisance of the possibility of fallacious reasoning concerning the distinction and the relationship between ontology and epistemology, as the failure to do so may have serious consequences for the integrity and validity of research projects in the social sciences. Lastly, it is also relevant to determine whether the distinction and the presumed relationship between ontology and epistemology are important for the scientific enterprise.

Szczególnie istotną rolę w procesie krzepnięcia, jak również w stanach patologicznej nadkrzepliwości, odgrywają płytki krwi. Jednym z fizjologicznych aktywatorów płytek krwi o stosunkowo mało poznanym mechanizmie działania jest adrenalina (epinefryna). Co istotne, warunki predysponujące do pojawienia się we krwi podwyższonego stężenia adrenaliny korelują ze zwiększonym ryzykiem epizodów zakrzepowych. Ludzkie płytki krwi posiadają w swej błonie plazmatycznej receptory α2-adrenergiczne i w warunkachin vitrowykazują agregację i sekrecję w odpowiedzi na mikromolowe stężenia adrenaliny. Użyte w przeprowadzanych dotychczas badaniach stężenia adrenaliny były co najmniej o rząd wielkości wyższe niż te, które stwierdzano w osoczu ludzkim. Rozbieżność ta wynika prawdopodobnie z faktu, że rola adrenaliny jako stymulatora płytek krwiin vivopolega najprawdopodobniej na działaniu potencjalizującym (synergizm z innymi aktywatorami płytek), a nie na działaniu adrenaliny jako aktywatora płytekper se. Wysiłki zmierzające do poznania mechanizmu działania adrenaliny na płytki krwi skupiają się głównie na wyjaśnieniu procesów zachodzących podczas przekaźnictwa sygnału poprzez receptory płytkowe. Dokładne przeanalizowanie każdego z etapów potencjalnego mechanizmu oddziaływania adrenaliny na ludzkie płytki krwi pozwoli na lepsze jego zrozumienie i zastosowanie tej wiedzy w tworzeniu nowych algorytmów leczenia pacjentów z zaburzeniami procesu hemostazy.

Study aim: The purpose of this study was twofold: (i) to compare total attacks, points in the defense phase and attack efficiency between playing positions; and (ii) to identify the main predictors of overall volleyball teams’ success related to points made during the game.

Material and methods: 282 sets with a total of 33 174 actions and 8 231 points were analyzed. The study included 14 teams participating in the male First Division Portuguese Championship (53 games from the 2016/2017 season and 27 from the first phase of the 2017/2018 season, for a total of 80 matches).

Results: The most important parameters for the overall performance are efficacy of points in defense phase, aces, block points, and attack efficiency. Overall team performance variables statistically significantly predicted the total points of the team, F
16,1091 = 39.375, p < 0.001, R
2 = 0.366. Considering the comparisons between players’ performances, it was found that the setter had the lowest number of points in the defense phase and total attacks. Opposites had more total attacks and points in the defense phase than the other players (at a small-to-moderate magnitude).

Conclusion: The results revealed the importance of the efficacy of points in the defense phase, namely regarding the service action, block point, and attack efficiency, to improve the possibilities of winning.
A Responsiveness Analysis of the Subgroups for Targeted Treatment (STarT) Back Screening Tool in Patients With Nonspecific Low Back Pain

Published: August 2019

Background

The Subgroups for Targeted Treatment (STarT) Back Screening Tool (SBST) screens patients with low back pain and directs them to different levels of physical therapy treatment. The SBST is also used to monitor changes in a range of modifiable prognostic factors. However, the current evidence on the responsiveness of the SBST is limited.

Objectives

To test the responsiveness of the SBST at 6 weeks and 6 months.

Methods

This measurement property study is a secondary analysis of data from 2 previous studies that included 348 participants with nonspecific low back pain. All participants were assessed at baseline, 6 weeks, and 6 months. To detect clinical changes, the SBST was compared to 3 one-dimensional constructs: global perceived effect, disability, and pain intensity. To assess responsiveness, we tested 15 specific predefined hypotheses based on correlation, effect size, and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses. If 75% or more of the hypotheses were accepted, then responsiveness was considered to be high.

Results

Most of the hypotheses were accepted. Testing the SBST as a continuous score, 85.7% and 87.5% of the hypotheses were accepted at 6 weeks and 6 months, respectively. For medium- and high-risk subgroups, 85.7% and 87.5% of the hypotheses were accepted at 6 weeks and 6 months. The low-risk subgroup had 42.9% of the hypotheses accepted at 6 weeks and 100% of the hypotheses accepted at 6 months.

Conclusion

The SBST had high responsiveness at 6 weeks in subgroups of patients with a medium and high risk, and poor responsiveness in those with a low risk, of persistent disability. The SBST has high responsiveness in all SBST subgroups at 6 months. Clinicians can confidently use the SBST to measure changes over time in terms of subgroups.

Level of Evidence

Longitudinal clinical measurement, level 1b. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2019;49(10):725–735. Epub 23 Aug 2019. doi:10.2519/jospt.2019.8776
Eight in Every 10 Abstracts of Low Back Pain Systematic Reviews Presented Spin and Inconsistencies With the Full Text: An Analysis of 66 Systematic Reviews
Authors: Nascimento Dafne Port , Gonzalez Gabrielle Zoldan , Araujo Amanda Costa , Moseley Anne M. , Maher Chris G. , Costa Leonardo Oliveira Pena
Published: August 2019

Objective

To evaluate whether abstracts of low back pain reviews contained spin, whether these abstracts consistently represented the full text, and whether the spin in these abstracts was associated with the type of conclusion.

Design

Overview study.

Literature Search

We searched the Physiotherapy Evidence Database on January 10, 2018.

Study Selection Criteria

Systematic reviews of physical therapy interventions for low back pain published between 2015 and 2017.

Data Synthesis

Spin was assessed using a 7-item checklist. We evaluated consistency by comparing information in the abstract with that in the full text using the 7-item checklist and kappa coefficient analysis. We used logistic regression analysis to evaluate the association between spin in the abstract and type of conclusion. We evaluated methodological quality using the revised version of the AMSTAR (A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews) tool.

Results

We included 66 eligible systematic reviews, subdivided into Cochrane (n = 9) and non-Cochrane (n = 57) reviews. There was some form of spin in 80% of abstracts. Abstracts of non-Cochrane reviews were not consistent with the full text (fair to moderate agreement). Cochrane review abstracts had substantial to almost perfect agreement with the full text. Spin was not associated with type of conclusion in all systematic reviews (P<.05). The methodological quality ranged from “high” to “critically low.”

Conclusion

The abstracts of systematic reviews evaluating physical therapy interventions for low back pain need improvement. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(1):17–23. Epub 23 Aug 2019. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.8962

This article is the result of qualitative field research with descriptive-analysis methods. The conclusion of this study is the management of zakat fitrah in Nuguk hamlet is performed with the classical management model, a model that’s still very simple with the way of muzakki delivering zakat fitrah to the ‘amil individually at their home respectively. The trust among the community in Nuguk hamlet is excessive and not following the ideal concept of shari’a. The management according to the al-Qur`an includes three important element, namely : collection  (Qs. At-Taubah [9] : 103), data collection and distribution (Qs. al-Baqarah [2] : 282 and Qs. At-Taubah [9] : 60), and utilization by using ‘traditional consumptive’ model, that’s zakat fitrah is directly distributed to mustahik through the ‘amil intermediary. The factors the contribute to the weaknesses of zakat fitrah management in Nuguk hamlet include : 1) low quality of education, and 2) oriented to the past management

Abstrak

           Latar belakang kajian ini adalah karena ada keunikan manajeman zakat fitrah di Dusun Nuguk, yaitu dengan cara menyerahkan kepada orang yang dianggap cocok atau serasi, dengan harapan orang yang menerima zakat fitrah tersebut dapat menjadi perantara kesehatan, ketenteraman bagi kehidupan muzakki dikemudian hari. Artikel ini merupakan hasil dari penelitian kualitatif lapangan dengan metode deskriptif-analisis. Adapun kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah manajemen zakat fitrah di Dusun Nuguk dilakukan dengan model manajemen klasik, yaitu suatu model manajemen yang masih sangat sederhana dengan cara muzakki menyerahkan zakat fitrah kepada ‘amil yang bersifat perorangan di rumah ‘amil masing-masing. Kepercayaan masyarakat Dusun Nuguk yang berlebihan kepada ‘amil dirasa kurang sesuai dengan konsep ideal syariat. Adapun manajemen menurut Alquran meliputi tiga unsur penting, yaitu : Pengumpulan (Qs. At-Taubah [9] : 103), Pendataan dan Pendistribusian (Qs. Al-Baqarah [2] : 282 dan Qs. At-Taubah [9] : 60, serta Pendayagunaan dengan menggunakan model ‘konsumtif tradisional’, yaitu zakat fitrah langsung didistribusikan kepada mustahik melalui perantara ‘amil. Faktor yang menyebabkan lemehnya mananjemen zakat fitrah di dusun Nuguk ada dua, yaitu : (1) Rendahnya mutu pendidikan, dan (2) Berorientasi pada manajemen masa lalu.

Pendapatan Non Halal Sebagai Sumber dan Penggunaan Qardhul Hasan dalam Perspektif Islam
Authors: Harkaneri Harkaneri , Reflisa Hana
Published: August 2019

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan memahami tinjauan Islam mengenai pendapatan non halal sebagai sumber dan penggunaan dana qardhul hasan pada perbankan syariah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi dimana data diperoleh dengan melakukan wawancara mendalam dengan informan yang dipilih berdasarkan teknik purposive sampling. Pemilihan informan untuk penelitian fenomenologi ini dikategorikan dari ulama, praktisi perbankan syariah dan akademisi.

Hasil penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa adanya unsur riba pada bunga yang merupakan sumber pendapatan non halal. Penggunaan pendapatan non halal dalam dana qardhul hasan selayaknya tidak disalurkan dalam bentuk pinjaman bergulir (qardhul hasan) sebab adanya hukum haram yang melekat pada bunga. Sehingga penggunaanya secara khusus disalurkan pada kepentingan umum yang bersifat non komsumtif yang berfungsi untuk membersihkan dana haram pada perbankan syariah
