Jurnalisme Kuning, ‘Lampu Kuning’ Etika Komunikasi Massa
Authors: Malik Abdul
Published: April 2018

Praktik jurnalisme kuning (yellow journalism) di Indonesia telah berlangsung sejak era Demokrasi Liberal dan berlanjut di era Orde Baru seiring dengan kemunculan koran Pos Kota dengan trilogi informasi yang disajikan: kriminalitas, kekerasan dan seksualitas. Pasca diberlakukannya Undang-Undang Pers No. 40 Tahun 1999, praktik jurnalisme demikian semakin memperlihatkan peningkatan dengan munculnya berbagai media serupa dengan Pos Kota. Pemberitaan yang bombastis penuh sensasi, vulgar, bahkan cenderung sadistis menjadi trend di banyak media. Kondisi yang kemudian juga berlangsung pada media berita online di era milenial saat ini.  Kebebasan pers yang didedikasikan untuk mencapai kemerdekaan pers guna mewujudkan kedaulatan rakyat yang berasaskan demokrasi, keadilan, dan supremasi hukum, sesuai semangat Undang-Undang No. 40 Tahun 1999, pada sebagian media dan wartawan lebih bermakna kebebasan tanpa batas dan cenderung keluar dari koridor etis-profetis, sehingga menimbulkan dampak negatif yang tidak kecil bagi masyarakat.
Selayang Pandang Sejarah Penyusunan Kompilasi Hukum Islam di Indonesia
Authors: Hikmatullah Hikmatullah
Published: April 2018

Terbentuknya hukum Islam (hukum keluarga) yang tertulis, sebenarnya sudah lama menjadi kebutuhan dan keinginan masyarakat muslim. Sejak terbentuknya Peradilan Agama yang mempunyai kewenangan untuk menyelesaikan masalah-masalah hukum keluarga, rasanya sangat diperlukan adanya hukum kekeluargaan Islam tertulis. Maka munculah gagasan penyusunan Kompilasi Hukum Islam sebagai upaya dalam rangka mencari pola fiqh yang  bersifat khas Indonesia atau fiqh yang bersifat kontekstual. Sejatinyaproses ini telah berlangsung lama sejalan dengan perkembangan hukum Islam di Indonesia atau paling tidak sejalan dengan kemunculan ide-ide pembaharuan dalam pemikiran hukum Islam Indonesia. Kemunculan KHI di Indonesia dapat dicatat sebagai sebuah prestasi besar yang dicapai umat Islam. Setidaknya dengan adanya KHI itu, maka saat ini di Indonesia tidak akan ditemukan lagi pluralisme Keputusan Peradilan agama, karena kitab yang dijadikan rujukan hakim Peradilan Agama adalah sama. Selain itu fikih yang selama ini tidak positif, telah ditransformasikan menjadi hukum positif yang berlaku dan mengikat seluruh umat Islam Indinesia. Lebih penting dari itu, KHI diharapkan akan lebih mudah diterima oleh masyarakat Islam Indonesia karena ia digali dari tradisi-tradisi bangsa indonesia. Jadi tidak akan muncul hambatan Psikologis di kalangan umat Islam yang ingin melaksanakan Hukum Islam.

Authors: ÇELİKPENÇE Yakup , BİRGÜCÜ Ali Kemal , KARACA İsmail
Published: April 2018

Numerous species of insect pest have been found causing serious damage to citrus plants in Turkey. Chrysomphalus aonidum (L.) (Diaspididae), and Coccus hesperidum L. (Coccidae) from Hemiptera among them are potential insect pest, which cause huge economic losses to citrus. The current study investigated life table parameters of both pests, which included net production rate (R0), intrinsic rate of increase (rm), mean generation time (T0), doubling time (T2), total production rate (GRR) and finite rate of increment (λ). Results showed that net production rate (R0) of both C. aonidum and C. hesperidum were 74.001 and 185.295 female/female/offspring, respectively. The intrinsic rate of increase (rm) for the pests was calculated as 0.052 and 0.047 female/female/day, respectively. Similarly, the mean generation time (T0) was recorded 82.030 days for C. aonidum and 110.985 days for C. hesperidum. The doubling time (T2), gross reproduction rate (GRR), and finite rate of increase (λ) were recorded 13.320 days, 142.555 eggs/female and 1.054 egg/female/day respectively for C. aonidum whereas, in case of C. hesperidum, the aforementioned values were calculated as 14.732 days, 579.047 eggs/female and 1.048 eggs/female/day, respectively.
Intersectional Analysis in Critical Mathematics Education Research: A Response to Figure Hiding
Authors: Bullock Erika C.
Published: April 2018

In this chapter, I use figure hiding as a metaphor representing the processes of exclusion and suppression that critical mathematics education (CME) seeks to address. Figure hiding renders identities and modes of thought in mathematics education and mathematics education research invisible. CME has a commitment to addressing figure hiding by making visible what has been obscured and bringing to the center what has been marginalized. While the tentacles of CME research address different analytical domains, much of this work can be connected to the social isms that plague our world (e.g., sexism, racism, heterosexism, colonialism, capitalism, ableism, militarism, nationalism, religious sectarianism). However, the trend in CME research is to address these isms in silos, which does not reflect the compounded forms of oppression that many experience. I review CME studies that employ intersectionality as a way of analyzing the complexities of oppression. Intersectionality’s limited use in CME research has been for identity-based analyses. I offer intersectional analysis as a strategy to extend intersectionality’s power beyond identity toward more systemic analyses.
Heterogeneous Effects in Education: The Promise and Challenge of Incorporating Intersectionality Into Quantitative Methodological Approaches
Authors: Schudde Lauren
Published: April 2018

To date, the theory of intersectionality has largely guided qualitative efforts in social science and education research. Translating the construct to new methodological approaches is inherently complex and challenging, but offers the possibility of breaking down silos that keep education researchers with similar interests—but different methodological approaches—from sharing knowledge. Quantitative approaches that emphasize the varied impacts of individual identities on educational outcomes move beyond singular dimensions capturing individual characteristics, drawing a parallel to intersectionality. Scholars interested in heterogeneous effects recognize the shortcomings of focusing on the effect of a single social identity. This integrative review explores techniques used in quantitative research to examine heterogeneous effects across individual background, drawing on methodological literature from the social sciences and education. I examine the goals and challenges of the quantitative techniques and explore how they relate to intersectionality. I conclude by discussing what education researchers can learn from other applied fields that are working to develop a crosswalk across the two disparate, but interconnected, literatures.
Intersectionality Dis/ability Research: How Dis/ability Research in Education Engages Intersectionality to Uncover the Multidimensional Construction of Dis/abled Experiences
Authors: Hernández-Saca David I. , Gutmann Kahn Laurie , Cannon Mercedes A.
Published: April 2018

The purpose of this chapter is to systematically review the research within the field of education that explicitly examined how various social constructions of identity intersect with dis/ability to qualitatively affect young adults’ experiences by asking the following question: What are the key findings in education research focusing on youth and young adults with disabilities who are multiply situated in terms of race, gender, social class, sexual orientation, or other social markers? Our conceptual framework included a sociohistorical approach that culled from intersectionality and disability studies in education that centered on the intersectional lived experiences of youth within K–16 educational contexts. In our research, we found 10 qualifying studies that illuminated how youth create meaning along the lines of their disabilities and their intersections, and we summarized these within the following three themes: (a) navigate intersectional disability discourses, (b) present their dis/ability oppression as intersectional, and (c) engage in their identity meaning making as a form of intersectional discourse. We conclude by situating these findings within the larger body of intersectionality disability studies in education research and provide future implications.

Penelitian ini melihat bagaimana penerapan sistem pengendalian manajemen di organisasi pemerintah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan mendeskripsikan penerapan sistem pengendalian manajemen dengan model four levers of control di Pusdiklat Bea dan Cukai. Konsep yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah konsep four levers of control. Penelitian ini menggunakan paradigma konstruktivis dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Sedangkan metode pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan studi kepustakaan, teknik wawancara semi terstruktur dan analisis dokumen. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan maka terlihat bahwa Pusdiklat Bea dan Cukai menerapkan four levers of control  secara alami berupa belief system yang mencakup pernyataan visi-misi dan nilai-nilai pedoman organisasi, boundary system berupa business conduct boundaries dan strategic boundaries, diagnostic control system berupa planning system, budgeting dan pengukuran kinerja berbasis balance score card serta interactive control system berupa pembukaan forum diskusi oleh pimpinan tertinggi. Peneliti masih menemukan kekurangan dalam penerapan belief system berupa kurang efektifnya metode penyampaian belief system, masih kurangnya sosialisasi atas boundary system, kelemahan dalam diagnostic control system berupa lemahnya koordinasi terkait anggaran, serta penetapan target kinerja pelaksana yang mudah dicapai dan kemungkinan pengukuran variabel yang salah. Masih adanya lower management yang tidak membuka komunikasi interaktif dengan bawahan menjadi satu kelemahan dalam interactive control system di Pusdiklat Bea dan Cukai.

Driving Factors of Consumer to Purchase Furniture Online on IKEA Indonesia Website
Authors: Saraswati Trisha Gilang
Published: April 2018

The tendency of consumers in shopping for furniture is very different from shopping for other goods or services, because furniture is expected to be stored and used in a long time. Considering that, consumers tend to want to shop directly to offline stores in order to see, feel and check quality directly because of many aspects that are assessed such as the quality of materials, models, colors and more. Behind the trend to shop furniture offline, IKEA continues to innovate to improve the performance of its website so that consumers can shop online. Therefore, this study intends to analyze what factors are driving consumers in shopping for furniture online especially on the website of IKEA Indonesia. From two grounded theory employed on this research, there are 14 factors that can influence consumers to buy online. This data analysis uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA), a factor analysis method that extracts factors by using total variance in the analysis. From data calculation, it is known that there are 8 driving factors of consumer to purchase furniture online on IKEA Indonesia’s website: Enjoyment, Perceived Risk, Efficiency, Service & Merchandise Quality, Ease of Navigation, Price Attractiveness, Flexibility and Reliability. By knowing what factors can affect consumers in doing online shopping for furniture, companies in this case IKEA Indonesia can optimize the use of its website in accordance with influential factors.
The Analisis Kesalahan Gramatika dalam Presentasi Bisnis Berbahasa Inggris (Studi Kasus Mahasiswa ASMTB 2016-2017)
Authors: Pramadya Hendri
Published: April 2018

This research aims to identify the types of grammatical errors made by ASMTB students (2016-2017) who are studying English business presentation. This research uses descriptive method by counting the number of grammatical errors related to business deals/sales of goods and services. The results of this study show that in the oral presentation (without reading the text) several students had difficulty pronouncing English sentences based on grammatical rules. This research has successfully revealed that in a business presentation simulation, some secretarial program students make grammatical mistakes in making English sentences delivered orally in front of the class. The total number of errors found in 69 of 80 sentences. The most dominant mistake is in the use of tenses 14.49% (highest), passive sentence 13.04%, S-V agreement10.14%, double marking verb 8.69%, preposition 8.69% and the rest under six percent. Grammatical errors mostly occur due to the lackness of students in understanding English grammar because it is still influenced by the structure of the Indonesian language. Therefore, the evaluation of English grammatical errors in lecturing activities must be intensively taught in the first semester, so the students can deliver messages using effective sentences when the sentence is spoken verbally in formal situations.
Posterior cerebral artery stenosis and posterior circulation revascularization surgery in pediatric patients with moyamoya disease
Authors: Kimiwada Tomomi , Hayashi Toshiaki , Shirane Reizo , Tominaga Teiji
Published: April 2018

OBJECTIVE

Some pediatric patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) present with posterior cerebral artery (PCA) stenosis before and after anterior circulation revascularization surgery and require posterior circulation revascularization surgery. This study evaluated the factors associated with PCA stenosis and assessed the efficacy of posterior circulation revascularization surgery, including occipital artery (OA)–PCA bypass, in pediatric patients with MMD.

METHODS

The presence of PCA stenosis before and after anterior circulation revascularization surgery and its clinical characteristics were investigated in 62 pediatric patients (< 16 years of age) with MMD.

RESULTS

Twenty-three pediatric patients (37%) with MMD presented with PCA stenosis at the time of the initial diagnosis. A strong correlation between the presence of infarction and PCA stenosis before anterior revascularization was observed (p < 0.001). In addition, progressive PCA stenosis was observed in 12 patients (19.4%) after anterior revascularization. The presence of infarction and a younger age at the time of initial diagnosis were risk factors for progressive PCA stenosis after anterior revascularization (p < 0.001 and p = 0.002, respectively). Posterior circulation revascularization surgery, including OA-PCA bypass, was performed in 9 of the 12 patients with progressive PCA stenosis, all of whom showed symptomatic and/or radiological improvement.

CONCLUSIONS

PCA stenosis is an important clinical factor related to poor prognosis in pediatric MMD. One should be aware of the possibility of progressive PCA stenosis during the postoperative follow-up period and consider performing posterior circulation revascularization surgery.
Molecular predissociation resonances below an energy level crossing
Authors: Ashida Sohei
Published: April 2018

We study the resonances of [Formula: see text] systems of one dimensional Schrödinger operators which are related to the mathematical theory of molecular predissociation. We determine the precise positions of the resonances with real parts below the energy where bonding and anti-bonding potentials intersect transversally. In particular, we find that imaginary parts (widths) of the resonances are exponentially small and that the indices are determined by Agmon distances for the minimum of two potentials.

Authors: Zhu Aiqin , Wu Zhou , Zhong Xin , Ni Junjun , Li Yinglan , Meng Jie , Du Can , Zhao Xue , Nakanishi Hiroshi , Wu Shizheng
Published: April 2018

Background:

Systemic inflammation is known as a risk factor of cognitive decline.

Objective:

To investigate the effects of propolis on cognitive decline and systemic inflammation in elderly people living at high altitude.

Methods:

Sixty participants (average 72.8 years) living at altitude (2,260 meters) were randomized to receive propolis (0.83 g, n = 30) or placebo ( n = 30) for 24 months. Cognitive outcomes were assessed using MMSE and serum cytokine levels were measured for 24 months in a double-blind study.

Results:

MMSE scores were 26.17 at baseline and 23.87 at 24 months in placebo group. Compared to placebo group, improvements of MMSE scores were significant in propolis-treated subjects ( p = 0.007) with a response emerging over time (time points×group interaction, p = 0.016). In addition, the serum IL-1 β and IL-6 levels were significantly different across treatments ( p < 0.0001) showing upward and downward trends in placebo- and propolis-treated subjects, respectively ( p < 0.0001). Serum levels of TNF- α were not significantly different across treatment ( p = 0.0528) but with a response emerging over time (time points×group interaction, p = 0.016). In contrast, serum levels of TGF β1 were significantly different across treatments ( p < 0.0001) showing downward and upward trends in placebo- and propolis-treated subjects, respectively. Serum levels of IL-10 were significant for the effect of groups ( p = 0.0411). Furthermore, MMSE scores correlated with the decrease in IL-1 β and the increase in TGF β1 in serum.

Conclusion:

Elderly people living at high altitude developed to MCI in 24 months with exacerbation of systemic inflammation. Ingestion of propolis (>12 months) protected against cognitive decline after systemic inflammation was reduced.
Association of Plasma Neurofilament Light Chain with Neocortical Amyloid-β Load and Cognitive Performance in Cognitively Normal Elderly Participants
Authors: Chatterjee Pratishtha , Goozee Kathryn , Sohrabi Hamid R. , Shen Kaikai , Shah Tejal , Asih Prita R. , Dave Preeti , ManYan Candice , Taddei Kevin , Chung Roger , Zetterberg Henrik , Blennow Kaj , Martins Ralph N.
Published: April 2018

Background:

The disruption of neurofilament, an axonal cytoskeletal protein, in neurodegenerative conditions may result in neuronal damage and its release into the cerebrospinal fluid and blood. In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), neurofilament light chain (NFL), a neurofilament subunit, is elevated in the cerebrospinal fluid and blood.

Objective:

Investigate the association of plasma NFL with preclinical-AD features, such as high neocortical amyloid-β load (NAL) and subjective memory complaints, and cognitive performance in cognitively normal older adults.

Methods:

Plasma NFL concentrations were measured employing the single molecule array platform in participants from the Kerr Anglican Retirement Village Initiative in Ageing Health cohort, aged 65– 90 years. Participants underwent a battery of neuropsychological testing to evaluate cognitive performance and were categorized as low NAL (NAL-, n = 65) and high NAL (NAL+, n = 35) assessed via PET, and further stratified into subjective memory complainers (SMC; nNAL- = 51, nNAL+ = 25) and non-SMC (nNAL- = 14, nNAL+ = 10) based on the Memory Assessment Clinic– Questionnaire.

Results:

Plasma NFL inversely correlated with cognitive performance. No significant difference in NFL was observed between NAL+ and NAL- participants; however, within APOE ɛ4 non-carriers, higher NAL was observed in individuals with NFL concentrations within quartiles 3 and 4 (versus quartile 1). Additionally, within the NAL+ participants, SMC had a trend of higher NFL compared to non-SMC.

Conclusion:

Plasma NFL is inversely associated with cognitive performance in elderly individuals. While plasma NFL may not reflect NAL in individuals with normal global cognition, the current observations indicate that onset of axonal injury, reflected by increased plasma NFL, within the preclinical phase of AD may contribute to the pathogenesis of AD.
Optimization of Tower Crane Location and Material Quantity Between Supply and Demand Points: A Comparative Study
Authors: Kaveh Ali , Vazirinia Yasin
Published: April 2018

Location optimization of tower crane as an expensive equipment in the construction projects has an important effect on material transportation costs. Due to the construction site conditions, there are several tower crane location optimization models. Appropriate location of tower cranes for material supply and engineering demands is a combinatorial optimization problem within the tower crane layout problem that is difficult to resolve.  Meta-heuristics are popular and useful techniques to resolve complex optimization problems. In this paper, the performance of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and four newly developed meta-heuristic algorithms Colliding Bodies Optimization (CBO), Enhanced Colliding Bodies Optimization (ECBO), Vibrating Particles System (VPS), and Enhanced Vibrating Particles System (EVPS) are compared in terms of their effectiveness in resolving a practical Tower Crane Layout (TCL) problem. Results show that ECBO performs better than other three methods in both cases.

Background: A good history and a standard EEG recording help establish most of the epilepsy syndromes.Objective: The objective of this study was to establish different epilepsy syndromes on the basis of history and EEG in the clinically suspected seizure events.Methodology: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the neurophysiology laboratory of National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2013 to December 2015, which included 2549 patients. EEG was obtained through surface scalp electrodes according to international 10/20 system. Patient and their attendants were interviewed using a semi structured questionnaire. The EEG findings, clinical history and in appropriate cases the neuroimaging, CSF and hematological findings were then correlated.Result: Among the 2549 patients most were children (39.8% less than 10 years old) and young adult (30.63% in 11 to 20 years age group). Male patients outnumbered female (63% and 36 % respectively). The overall sensitivity of EEG in yielding abnormal interictal epileptiform discharges was 42%. About 32% of total 2549 patients were diagnosed as localization-related epilepsy (LRE), 5% idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE), 1.41% was Epileptic encephalopathy.Conclusion: In conclusion EEG is helpful in classifying the types of seizure, aids in defining the epilepsy syndrome, predicting the outcome and assists in management of patients.Journal of National Institute of Neurosciences Bangladesh, 2017;3(1): 3-6

Background: Blood sugar may be raised as a systemic effect of steroid. Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) estimation provides an accurate index of mean concentration of blood glucose during preceding two to three months.Objective: The purpose of the present study was to observe the relationship between oral prednisolone and HbA1c levels in children with 1st attack Nephrotic syndrome.Methods: This case-control study was conducted in the Outpatient department of Apollo Hospitals, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2012 to July 2013 for a period of nineteenth (19) months. The nephrotic children with first attack who completed 12 weeks steroid therapy were enrolled as study group. Age and sex matched thirty children with other illness without family history of diabetes regarded as control. HbA1c level was estimated in Nephrotic patient just at the end of their 12 weeks of prednisolone therapy.Results: The mean age of study and control group was 4.56±1.54 and 4.90±1.06 years respectively. Male and female ratios were 1.0:0.76 and 1.0:0.88 in case and control group respectively. Age and sex difference between the groups were not significant. The mean HbA1c value was 5.00±0.28 in case and 4.43±0.35 in control group (p<0.0001). The calculated mean blood sugar level was 99.75±9.80 mg/dl and 80.30±12.48 mg/dl in case and control group respectively (p<0.0001).Conclusion: Nephrotic child getting steroid have significantly higher level of HbA1c then their healthy counterpart though the level is not at diabetic level.Journal of National Institute of Neurosciences Bangladesh, 2017;3(1): 7-9

Victory Without Surrender: The Jihad in Aceh
Authors: Siegel James
Published: April 2018

Victoire sans capitulation : le jihad à Aceh.

La guerre coloniale contre Aceh eut deux définitions distinctes. Pour les Néerlandais, il s’agissait d’une guerre entre États résolue par l’imposition d’un ordre politique sans rapport avec celui qu’il remplaça. Du côté acihais, l’imposition de cet ordre ne signalait pas la fin du conflit. Aceh n’a jamais capitulé, tout d’abord parce qu’il n’y avait plus de responsables capables de remettre le royaume aux Néerlandais. Mais fondamentalement parce que le but de la guerre sainte n’était pas nécessairement la victoire militaire. L’analyse d’Atjeh faite par Snouck Hurgonje et Van Heutz, qui guida la stratégie néerlandaise, est ici confrontée à l’évolution des mécanismes du jihad.
Iconographie de la présence turque dans le monde malais : ce que dit la peinture sous verre javanaise
Authors: Samuel Jérôme
Published: April 2018

Cet article présente, quinze peintures sous verre javanaises d’inspiration ottomane, produites à Java entre le début du XXe siècle et les années 1980. l’attraction pour l’empire ottoman dans les mondes malais et javanais est à l’origine d’écrits littéraires et journalistiques, mais aussi d’une iconographie sur papier qui n’a pas encore été très étudiée et dont l’essentiel a disparu. Or une partie de cette iconographie a nourrit la peinture sous verre javanaise, principalement au cours des premières décennies du XXe siècle. Certains de ces objets, souvent luxueux, ont survécu et ils présentent plusieurs intérêts. Ils permettent de connaître une iconographie de papier qui a en grande partie disparu aujourd’hui ; ils témoignent de la circulation d’images (des modèles et leurs reproductions) dans un espace très vaste qui va de l’Europe et de la Turquie jusqu’à l’Asie du Sud-Est et à Java ; ils nous renseignent sur les options politiques et les goûts de commanditaires qu’ils aident aussi à caractériser. d’une iconographie sur papier qui n’a pas encore été très étudiée et dont l’essentiel a disparu.

Imaging of viscoelastic soft matter with small indentation using higher eigenmodes in single-eigenmode amplitude-modulation atomic force microscopy
Authors: Nikfarjam Miead , López-Guerra Enrique A , Solares Santiago D , Eslami Babak
Published: April 2018

In this short paper we explore the use of higher eigenmodes in single-eigenmode amplitude-modulation atomic force microscopy (AFM) for the small-indentation imaging of soft viscoelastic materials. In viscoelastic materials, whose response depends on the deformation rate, the tip–sample forces generated as a result of sample deformation increase as the tip velocity increases. Since the eigenfrequencies in a cantilever increase with eigenmode order, and since higher oscillation frequencies lead to higher tip velocities for a given amplitude (in viscoelastic materials), the sample indentation can in some cases be reduced by using higher eigenmodes of the cantilever. This effect competes with the lower sensitivity of higher eigenmodes, due to their larger force constant, which for elastic materials leads to greater indentation for similar amplitudes, compared with lower eigenmodes. We offer a short theoretical discussion of the key underlying concepts, along with numerical simulations and experiments to illustrate a simple recipe for imaging soft viscoelastic matter with reduced indentation.

Published: April 2018

A mechanically-activated chemoselective Heck coupling for the synthesis of 3-vinylindazoles has been developed with the aid of catalytic amounts of TBAB and NaBr as both dehalogenation restrainer and grinding auxiliary. After tuning of the chemical conditions and mechanical parameters, a series of non-activated 3-bromoindazoles and a broad scope of olefins worked well to give the corresponding coupling products in good to excellent yields. A further application of this protocol was performed in a two-step mechanochemical Heck/Migita cross coupling, which provided a highly efficient route for the synthesis of axitinib.
