MADRASAH DAN SEKOLAH ISLAM ELIT DI INDONESIA
Authors: Basyit Abdul
Published: September 2020

Menguatnya posisi lembaga pendidikan Islam tidak lepaskan dari upaya dinamika internal dalam tubuh pendidikan Islam berupa modernisasi, yang berkesinambungan dengan modernisasi Islam. Faktor yang menumbuhkembangkan keberadaan sekolah dan madrasah elit. Pertama, kesadaran untuk mendesain system pendidikan unggul. Kedua, menurunnya proses dan hasil pendidikan di sekolah-sekolah umum. Ketiga, skeptis terhadap proses dan hasil pendidikan pada pesantren dan madrasah. Keempat, peningkatan kemampuan ekonomi. Kelima, dukungan pemerintah dalam otonomi pendidikan swasta dan program pemerintah dalam upaya “internasionalisasi” semua level pendidikan di Indonesia.

Published: September 2020

AbstrakPendidikan akhlak berwawasan integratif-inklusif dapat dimaknai sebagai suatu rumusan proses pendidikan akhlak yang dilakukan secara luas dan holistik. Materi pendidikan akhlak dapat bersinergi dengan seluruh mata pelajaran, dapat bersinergi dengan budaya sekolah, kegiatan estrakulikuler serta bersinergi dengan komunitas. Dikatakan struktur keilmuan integratif bukan berarti antara berbagai ilmu tersebut dilebur menjadi satu bentuk ilmu yang identik, melainkan karakter, corak, dan hakikat antara ilmu tersebut terpadu dalam kesatuan dimensi material spiritual, akal-wahyu, ilmu umum ilmu agama, jasmani-ruhani, dan dunia akhirat.

Published: September 2020

In vitro rooting of micropropagated shoots were carried out with the aim of evaluating the root induction responses of two tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum MILL) varieties (Gelilema and Chali) using Indole -3- butyric acid (IBA). Seven levels of IBA (0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25 and 1.5 mg L-1) were used in a completely randomized design (CRD) in factorial combinations (seven level of IBA*two varieties) with three replications.  After the plantlets were kept in the rooting media for three weeks, data on rooting percentage, number of roots/shoots and root length in cm were collected. The analysis of variance showed that the interaction of IBA*Var was highly significantly different for rooting percentage, a number of roots/shoot and root length at p<0.01. The highest rooting percentage (100.00±0.00), number of roots/shoot (14.20±0.35) and root length (10.7±0.29) were received from Chali on free Murashige and Skoog medium (MS). At the same time, the lowest percentage of rooting (11.11±0.00), number of roots/shoot (0.887±0.19) and root length (1.00±0.00 cm) were obtained from Gelilema on MS+1.5mg/l IBA. For acclimatization, the in vitro rooted shoots were transplanted into plastic pots containing a mixture of oven sterilized soil and sand at a ratio of 2:1. After three weeks, a survival rate of 67.7% for Chali and 58.1% for Gelilema was obtained. From the above result, it can be concluded that free MS medium was the best for in vitro rooting of the two tomato varieties. The optimized protocol will be useful for rapid in vitro multiplication of the two tomato varieties.

Authors: Venkatesan S. , Masilamani P. , Janaki P. , Eevera T. , Sundareswaran S. , Rajkumar P.
Published: September 2020

Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signalling molecule employed by plants to control many physiological aspects. This review summarizes that crosstalk between NO/H2O2/Ca2+ signalling pathways that drive pollen tube for sexual reproduction in flowering plants. NO is produced in seeds by both enzymatic and non-enzymatic sources that control many physiological aspects of seeds. The interplay of NO and Reactive oxygen species are likely important players in hormonal crosstalk controlling seed germination and dormancy. Mechanism of seed germination and dormancy is mainly regulated by plant hormones like Abscisic acid (ABA) and Gibberellic acid (GA). Based on mode of action of NO with reference to triggering the germination of crop seeds under abiotic stress condition it is infer that there is a linkage between NO and plant growth regulator production. NO cross-talk with reactive oxygen species (ROS) during abiotic stress condition, modulate the light and hormone depended developmental process in the early stage of plant development. NO action to enhancing abiotic stress tolerance by improving antioxidant enzymes and protection against oxidative damage in many crops are discussed in detail.

Published: September 2020

The wide distribution of Terminalia bellirica in natural forests of Odisha has a good opportunity to identify better genotypes with higher oil yielding potential.  The study related to variation in oil content, morphometric characters and germination of Terminalia bellirica (Gaertn.) Roxb. seeds was carried out in nine provenances viz. Deogan, Bolangir Kasturi Bahal, Narada, Kantamal, Jeypore, Gunupur, Kuchinda and  Ghatikia of Odisha (India) keeping in the importance of the seed oil for biodiesel production, soap industry and medicinal values. T. bellirica is widely distributed in Odisha with gregarious fruiting of which most of the fruits remain unused except used as myrobalan for medicinal purposes. It revealed that Kantamal provenance expressed highest fruits length (3.87cm) and 100 fruit weight (1340.17gm), 100 seed weight(649.05gm) and 100 kernel weight(99.43gm) with maximum oil yield which can be taken up for further improvement study. However, the progeny testing at nursey level was also found to have the same provenance performing best for germination and seedling characters.

Published: September 2020

Assam is the largest state of North-East India. This state is considered as one of the most extravagant biodiversity hotspots of the world because of its different geography, atmosphere and agro-environmental conditions. Various plant species that incorporate natural products have their starting point in this locale. A considerable number of these are yet to be developed in wild or semi-wild states. Regardless of the huge hereditary decent variety of these natural products, just a couple have been grown as business crops for their monetary, social and strict significance. Some of the explored fruit crops of Assam that have many potentials of being used not only in culinary purpose but also in much Ayurvedic medicine which is still underutilized Some of the underutilized fruit (UUF) crops of Assam are Kordoi/Carambola (Averrhoa Carambola), Leteku/Burmese grape (Baccurea sapida), Amra/Hog plum (Spondius mangifera), Jalphai/Olive (Olea europaea), Bael/Stone apple (Aegle marmelos), Imli/Tamarind (Tamarindus indica), Jamun/Wild Jamun (Sygium cuminii), Thekera/Garcinia spp., Poniol/Govorners plum (Falcourita jangomas), Outenga/Elephant fruit (Delinia indica ) and Amlokhi/ Indian Goose berry (Phyllanthus emblica) etc. Fruits have multipurpose utilisations and consequently assume critical job, particularly, for the prosperity of country individuals by giving sustenance, family pay and business. Huge numbers of these natural fruits have been utilised as customary restorative plants and some have discovered a significant spot in the Indian arrangement of Ayurvedic medicine and Unani since days of yore. Regardless of their latent capacity, these indigenous fruit crops are less known both at scientific and farmers level particularly in our region and some of them like wild jackfruit (Artocarpus hirsutus), Rattan (Calamus rotang) , Naga tenga (Myrica esculenta) etc. which are nearer to extinction.
Chicken feather waste degradation by Alternaria tenuissima and its application on plant growth
Authors: Kumari Mannu , Kumar Jitendra
Published: September 2020

The use of chicken as food is rising day today and as byproduct 8.5 billion tons, poultry feathers are produced worldwide, whereas India contributes about 350 million tons per annum. It is a waste product of poultry industries, are considered a potential high-quality protein supplement owing to their crude protein content of more than 85%. In the present study Alternaria tenuissima a keratinophilic fungus was used for feather degradation in submerged state fermentation and soil. Total Protein releases were studied in submerged state fermentation by A. tenuissima are 122µg/ml and 238µg/ml in 15 and 25 days respectively. Lysine, Methionine, Cysteine and Valine were found 15.8, 6.8, 20.2, 7.5 µg/ml in 25 days, respectively. Chicken feathers were mixed with soil and inoculated with spore suspension for degradation of complex keratin protein into simpler organic forms. A. tenuissima degraded feathers in soil and enhances nutritional value. Five-gram feathers in 250 g soil mixtures were found better growth enhancers and increased height. This work will reduce the solid waste generated in the form of feathers from the poultry industry, and convert it into a simpler organic form that can be used by plants.
Anticipated backward doubly stochastic differential equations driven by teugels martingales with or without reflecting barrier
Authors: Saouli Mostapha , Mansouri B.
Published: September 2020

We are interested in this paper on reflected anticipated backward doubly stochastic differential equations (RABDSDEs) driven by teugels martingales associated with Levy process. We obtain the existence and uniqueness of solutions to these equations by means of the fixed-point theorem where the coefficients of these BDSDEs depend on the future and present value of the solution $\left( Y,Z\right)$. We also show the comparison theorem for a special class of RABDSDEs under some slight stronger conditions. The novelty of our result lies in the fact that we allow the time interval to be infinite.

Investigating educators’ implicit attitudes toward social groups
Authors: Brown-Iannuzzi Jazmin Lati , Bainter Sierra
Published: September 2020

Given the importance of education and the role educators play on the outcomes of their students, the current research investigates implicit attitudes among a sample of mathematics educators. Implicit attitude measures are ones which investigate automatic associations between a target social group and a positive or negative feeling. These attitudes are important because they predict behaviors toward members of the target social group (e.g., Cameron, Brown- Iannuzzi, & Payne, 2012; Greenwald, Poehlman, Uhlmann, & Banaji, 2009). The current research also extends beyond previous research by investigating the association between educators’ implicit racial attitudes toward black and white people and students’ trust and respect for their educator. If educators’ implicit attitudes are associated with how they interact with their students, it may be that we can uncover this relationship by asking students about their attitudes toward their educators. To analyze these questions, this study leverages data from the National Study of Learning Mindsets (NSLM), the largest-ever randomized controlled trial of a growth mindset program in the U.S. in K-12 settings, in which a brief online growth mindset program was administered to 9th grade students during the 2015-2016 academic year. The results suggest that educators have a more implicit positive reaction to women than men, and slightly more implicit positivity toward black men than white men. These implicit associations, however, are unrelated to students’ trust and respect for their educator. The findings and implications are discussed.

Quality Zones Automatically Identified in Water Distribution Networks by applying Data Clustering Methods to Conductivity Measurements
Authors: Mandel Pierre , Wang Yue , Parre Anatole , Féliers Cédric , Heim Véronique
Published: September 2020

This paper presents a clustering study showing how conductivity measured every five minutes by 215 probes over four years can be used to determine specific quality zones for a large Water Distribution Network (WDN): 8500 km of pipes, 4.6M customers. Conductivity time-series are compared using Dynamic Time Warping. Then, probes are ordered using a density-based method, and probe clusters are extracted automatically. The clusters are a sound representation of water quality in the WDN, both in terms of water origin and water residence time. More specifically, zones directly impacted by plants or by external water imports, mixing zones and zones influenced by tanks, can be isolated and analyzed. Globally, 82% of the probes were found to be clustered, consistent with expert knowledge on the WDN operation; 13% were unclassified; 3% were erroneously clustered; and 1% seemed to be reasonably clustered, without any physical understanding yet. Besides providing users with an increased understanding of water quality in WDNs, conductivity-based clusters offer an interesting prior tool for contamination warning systems.

Published: September 2020

Early exposure to maternal depression is a key risk factor for child mental illness (MI), but there are limited programs that interrupt intergenerational transmission. The BRIDGE “Building Regulation in Dual GEnerations” Program treats maternal MI using Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills with a paired curriculum that promotes non-reactive and emotionally validating parenting designed to improve child mental health and ultimately prevent MI.This pilot feasibility trial (n=28 dyads) included mothers and their preschool-aged children. The 20-week program was completed in a group-based format using mixed methods questionnaires and interviews. Results indicate high feasibility and acceptability (86% retention). Consistent improvements were seen across program targets and outcomes including maternal depression (d = 1.02) and child mental health (d = 1.08), with clinically significant symptom reductions for 85% of clients. Mothers with higher adversity exhibited greater reductions in parenting stress. Qualitative results highlighted efficacy in promoting positive parent-child relationships, rewarding parenting experiences, competence, and child development. Evidence suggests high feasibility and accessibility for BRIDGE in addressing intergenerational mental health needs. There was strong satisfaction with the program material and efficacy across key outcomes. BRIDGE holds promise for offering a transdiagnostic approach to preventing child MI in families of at-risk preschool aged children.
Morphological structure can escape reduction effects from mass admixture of second language speakers: evidence from Sino-Tibetan
Authors: Widmer Manuel , Jenny Mathias , Behr Wolfgang , Bickel Balthasar
Published: September 2020

Morphological complexity is expected to decrease under mass admixture from adult second language speakers. While this has been chiefly shown for morphological richness, an unresolved question is whether the effect extends to aspects of morphological boundedness. Here we report a case study of Sino-Tibetan verbs, contrasting verbal expressions of two languages with very large (Chinese, Burmese) and of two languages with very small (Bunan, Chintang) numbers of second language speakers. We find that while the amount of second language speakers accounts for differences in the range and number of inflectional categories (degrees of synthesis), it does not affect the way in which morphological constituents are bound together, reflecting fortification through a mix of diachronically stable and universally preferred patterns. This calls for theoretical models that narrow down the range of changes that are driven by second language speaker admixture, and for extensive empirical testing on a global scale.
How perceived autonomy-supportive and controlling behaviour in physical education relates to adolescents’ leisure-time physical activity participation?
Authors: Tilga Henri , Kalajas-Tilga Hanna , Hein Vello , Raudsepp Lennart , Koka Andre
Published: September 2020

In line with the tenets of self-determination theory, the current study tested associations of perceived autonomy-supportive and controlling behaviour from PE teacher with adolescents’ leisure-time physical activity (LT PA) participation, and the role of need satisfaction and need frustration, autonomous motivation and controlled motivation in PE, and perceived effort towards LT PA as mediators of these associations. Adolescents (N = 381) aged between 12 and 15 years completed self-reported measures of respective constructs. Results of the structural equation modelling demonstrated that perceived autonomy-supportive behaviour from PE teachers was related to adolescents’ LT PA participation only via experiences of need satisfaction and autonomous motivation in PE, and perceived effort towards LT PA. Perceived controlling behaviour from PE teachers was found to be related to adolescents’ LT PA participation only via experiences of need frustration and controlled motivation in PE, and perceived effort towards LT PA. The current study provided evidence that perceived autonomy-supportive behaviour and perceived controlling behaviour from PE teachers contributes to adolescents’ LT PA participation through unique pathways. Findings highlight the facilitative role of autonomy-supportive behaviour from teachers in a PE context on adolescents’ LT PA participation. In addition, the beneficial role of controlled motivation in PE, although instigated by students’ perceptions of controlling behaviour from teachers and experiences of need frustration in PE, on adolescents’ LT PA participation was supported.
Pride and Protest: Emotional response in the aftermath of the Chilean social outburst
Authors: Olivos Francisco , Ayala Cristián , Leyton Alex
Published: September 2020

In recent months, Chile, like many other countries around the world, has undergone a wave of widespread street protests calling for structural changes and challenging the “Chilean miracle.” This study uses an interrupted public opinion poll to assess the effect on the moral sentiments of the general population of the first weeks of the Chilean social crisis that began in October 2019. Our findings suggest that emotions toward the country, official symbols, and economic development were negatively affected by the crisis. Protests signaled that not everything in the country was as thought, generating a moral shock that affected shared emotions about the country. However, at the same time, the specific reciprocal moral sentiments between fellow citizens were positively affected. Hence, the social crisis emerges as an opportunity to strengthen collective ties either by sharing sentiments toward who is responsible for the movement or between Chileans. In the aftermath of October 18, the effect on emotions could explain the massive scale and durability of the social movement.
Desk-rejection of manuscript: How to avoid it
Authors: Shah Jay Narayan
Published: September 2020

It is true that authors do not like their manuscripts being rejected early at the editorial level, and they even think that it is an arbitrary judgment by the editor. Editors and journals take this rather seriously.

Desk-rejection (DR) is an important issue for all, authors and editors alike. It occurs even before the peer review of the submitted manuscript begins. Most authors experience DR sometime during their careers, though we are not aware of it until we encounter one, and may take it as a shock. Many a times, the journal editor rightly points out that a DR is mostly due to a ‘premature’ submission of a ‘half-cooked’ manuscript. It may not pass through in the very beginning due to abstract of poor construct, lack of clearly defined purpose of the paper, low standard of procedures undertaken, and insignificant principal findings, also referred to as the important 3Ps. Up to 80% of the submissions are not processed further and are rejected early on within a few days without an external review.
Neuropsychiatry Training in Nepal: Experiences of Trainees and Psychiatrists
Authors: Rai Y , Karki U. , Thapaliya S , Molina R
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Training, practice and continuing professional development in neuropsychiatry and clinical neuroscience vary across different countries. However, little is known about the opinions of the Nepalese psychiatrists about the provision of neuropsychiatry training. This study evaluates the current training in neuropsychiatry and clinical neurosciences during the postgraduate psychiatry training and reflect on current practice.

Material And Method: The participants were psychiatrists (qualified and psychiatry residents). An online questionnaire using Survey Monkey electronic Platform was emailed with a uniform resource locator (URL).

Results: Sixty-four out of ninety-five participants responded with response rate of 65.3%. Two-third of the respondents were qualified psychiatrists. The duration of neurology rotation ranged from 1 to 3 months and it was reported to be mandatory. Two-thirds reported that there is no clinical neuropsychiatry training during psychiatry residency. On a ten-point Likert scale (with 10 being the highest possible score), the participants rated their neuropsychiatry training as 5.16±1.84 while they rated the necessity for further training in neuropsychiatry as 7.92±1.96. Two-thirds identified a lack of interest by the specialty society as an obstacle for the implementation of neuropsychiatry training for psychiatrists. More than half viewed that neuropsychiatry training to be incorporated into the existing psychiatry training scheme whereas three-fifths favoured a one-year specific training program in neuropsychiatry after completion of psychiatry training.

Conclusion: The current psychiatry training is inadequate to meet substantial neuropsychiatry training opportunities for a high proportion of psychiatrists in Nepal. This finding may be used to improve and standardize neuropsychiatry training in postgraduate psychiatry training.
Examining Micro-Level Homicide Patterns in Toronto, 1967 Through 2003
Authors: Harinam Vincent
Published: September 2020

This article assesses the spatial distribution and developmental pattern of micro-level homicide clusters in Toronto between 1967 and 2003. The spatial unit of analysis is the street segment and is defined as the two block faces on both sides of a street between two intersections. Three time periods (1967 to 1979, 1980 to 1989, and 1990 to 2003) covering 1,671 homicides were pooled to ensure sufficient numbers for analysis. Given the qualitative strength of the dataset, a series of descriptive statistics and geospatial statistics are used. Toronto’s developmental homicide pattern is characterized by a dense concentration of single-homicide street segments within the downtown core between 1967 and 1989, with the mass dispersal of multi-homicide street segments across the city between 1990 and 2003. Single-homicide street segments accounted for 84% and 81% of homicides between 1967 and 1979 and 1980 and 1989, respectively. However, multi-homicide street segments tripled between 1990 and 2003, rising from 16% of homicides in the first time period to 45% in the third. This reflects a change in the character of homicides with drug and gang-related homicides increasing in the third time period.
FUTURE MARKETING IN B2B SEGMENT: INTEGRATING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INTO SALES MANAGEMENT
Authors: Koldyshev Maxim Vladimirovich
Published: September 2020

The technological phenomenon of artificial intelligence transforms B2B marketing and approaches to the formation of product value, sales and service. The case study allowed the author to examine and summarize the experience of large companies in integrating artificial intelligence into the sales management system, marketing and service. The article identified three problems of B2B companies’ sales system: incomplete, unreliable data, lack of interaction between marketing and sales systems, dynamic growth of personal data volume. The study proves economic efficiency of the integration of artificial intelligence, which solves these problems. The future of marketing was identified based on the latest trends in the B2B segment. In the future, industrial marketing will be determined by the accuracy, reliability of customer information, a high level of accuracy of demand forecasts, a shortened cycle of trade agreements, increasing level of effectiveness of cooperation between marketing and sales departments. The integration of artificial intelligence into sales management will finally complete the era of digital marketing in the B2B segment and will be the beginning of the era of “human” marketing. The latter will mean that in the context of a regulated digital private B2B data market, marketing will be focused on human needs with an accurate predictable understanding of customer needs.

Moreover, the prevalence of obesity is also increasing. However, limited information is available about the mechanism by which BMI affects PRO after ACDF.MethodsTotal 878 patients underwent ACDF between 2000 and 2015. After excluding patients with previous cervical instrumentation, >2 levels fused, missing BMI measurement, or neoplastic/trauma indication for surgery, 535 patients were included. The PRO measures of the Neck Disability Index, Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for Neck Pain, NPRS for Limb Pain, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons–Neurogenic Symptom Score, and Japanese Orthopaedic Association myelopathy score were used. Patients were grouped based on their preoperative BMI, as per the World Health Organization guidelines for Asian populations. PRO scores were collected preoperatively, at 6 months postoperatively, and 2 years postoperatively. A generalized linear model was used to analyze the relationship of BMI category with the individual score, accounting for several factors that are likely to affect the outcomes.ResultsTotal 19 (3.4%) were underweight, 155 (28.0%) were normal weight, 112 (20.3%) were overweight, and 267 (48.3%) were obese. Patients across all BMI categories experienced significant and similar improvements in their postoperative PRO scores. There were no significant differences in the preoperative, 6-month postoperative, and 2-year postoperative PRO scores of the groups. Rate of reoperation was highest in patients with grade II obesity at 8.07%; however, the difference was not statistically significant.Conclusions Irrespective of the BMI, all patients exhibited similar satisfactory outcomes following ACDF. The results support surgery in all subgroups of patients with symptomatic nerve compression in the cervical spine.
