Published: March 2022

Considering that the central theme of learning analytics is data, there are uniquely strong benefits to sharing data, materials, and analysis code in this field. These open research practices facilitate transparency in research, and transparency can improve the quality of learning analytics methods, improve the reliability of findings, and improve the scope of impact of new developments. The Society for Learning Analytics research recently adopted a motion to advance on these goals. To inform this effort, we conducted a systematic review of articles published in the past two proceedings of the Learning Analytics and Knowledge conference, measuring the frequency of openly-shared data, materials, and analysis code. We find that 7.5% of articles made their data available, 13.7% made materials available, and 5.5% made analysis code available. We discuss these findings in the context of possible barriers to open practices, and suggest that the principal barrier to improved transparency is researcher’s reluctance to share, rather than privacy or legal constraints.
Empirical Benchmarks to Interpret Intervention Effects on Student Achievement in Elementary and Secondary School: Meta-Analytic Results from Germany
Authors: Brunner Martin , Stallasch Sophie Elise , Lüdtke Oliver
Published: March 2022

To assess the meaningfulness of an intervention or policy effect on students’ achievement, researchers may apply empirical benchmarks as standards for comparisons, involving normative expectations for students’ academic growth as well as performance gaps between weak and average schools or policy-relevant groups (e.g., male and female students, students from socioeconomically advantaged or disadvantaged families, students with or without a migration background). Previous research offered these empirical benchmarks by drawing on student samples from the United States. How well these results generalize to student populations in other countries is an open question. We therefore provide novel meta-analytic evidence on these empirical benchmarks for students attending elementary and secondary schools in Germany for a broad variety of achievement outcomes (e.g., mathematics, science, information and communication technology, first and second language skills). Drawing on the results obtained for large, representative probability samples, we observed variations in each kind of benchmark across countries as well as across domains and student subpopulations within Germany. This pattern of results underscores that the assessment of the very same intervention effect may depend on the target population and outcome of the intervention. We conclude by illustrating and discussing the strengths and limitations of empirical benchmarks for assessing the magnitude of intervention effects.

Published: March 2022

The education system in the US displays troubling disparities in academic performance of different racial and income groups, known as the achievement gap. During summer 2020, our research group committed to promoting racial and ethnic diversity in academia to reduce the achievement gap in Los Angeles. Since educators with a growth mindset employing active learning in their classrooms can elevate performance of students from underrepresented minority groups in STEM fields, we initiated QBio-EDGE (Quantitative Biology - Empowering Diversity and Growth in Education), a trainee-led outreach program for high schools in Los Angeles. We developed active learning modules focused on quantitative biology. Here, we describe our outreach effort, key factors that contributed to its success, and the challenges we overcame. We hope that this practical guide may inspire research trainees of all levels to support local schools by participating in science outreach with active learning. We challenge institutions to actively support these efforts.

Published: March 2022

Malaysia, as one of the countries committed to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations (UN), has set out to achieve those goals by 2030. One of the efforts undertaken is through the Resource Allocation Initiative (SSI) under the Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Act 2007 (Act 672) was launched and came into effect in September 2015 in which Malaysian households are encouraged to participate by practicing solid waste segregation at home. Although there are various negative effects on unstructured waste management, many past studies have only discussed factors of intention and recycling practices among households as opposed to solid waste segregation practices. Therefore, the objective of this study is to highlight the role of intrinsic motivation in influencing solid waste segregation behavior by using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as a framework. A survey of questionnaires was conducted among the residents of residential units in the state of Selangor, and a total of 361 questionnaires were returned. Smart PLS software is used to analyze the data. The results showed that all variables including attitudes, subjective norms, and behavioral control had significant relationships in predicting solid waste segregation behavior. Based on the results of this study, recommendations are made to encourage solid waste segregation behavior among households. In addition, this study makes a significant contribution to the knowledge of household behavior in practicing solid waste segregation. From a practical point of view, this study is very important for local authorities in Malaysia and around the world to encourage the involvement of households to segregate solid waste to protect and safeguard the environment and reduce pollution.

Kondiloma Akuminata sebagai Alasan Perceraian Perspektif Hukum Islam
Authors: Hakimah Siti Nur
Published: March 2022

Ketentraman dan keserasian hidup antara perkawinan suami istri salah satunya ditentukan oleh faktor kesehatan pasangan hidup. Tidak jarang keretakan dalam rumah tangga yang disebabkan karena salah satu pihak yaitu suami atau istri menderita suatu penyakit bahkan cacat badan. Hal ini terbukti karena banyaknya gugatan cerai yang masuk di Pengadilan Agama dengan alasan tersebut. Salah satu penyebab tingginya angka perceraian adalah kurangnya keterbukaan membicarakan suatu masalah saat pranikah, sehingga salah satu pihak merasa tertipu dengan hal-hal buruk yang ditutupi saat berpacaran atau saat sebelum menikah sehingga memicu konflik ketika telah menjadi pasangan suami-istri (pasutri). Penelitiaan ini merupakan penelitian studi pustaka atau (library reseacrh) yang bersifat kualitatif deskriptif dengan mendeskripsifikasikan seluruh gejala atau keadaan secara faktual tentang kondiloma akuminata sebagai alasan penyebab perceraian perspektif hukum Islam. Hasil penelitian ini adalah bahwa adanya penyakit kutil kelamin atau yang disebut kondiloma akuminata mengganggu keharmonisan rumah tangga yakni dalam hubungan seksual antara suam-istri hingga terjadi perceraian. Sebab salah satu dari mereka tidak bisa menjalankan kewajibannya sebagai suami-istri yaitu dalam hubungan seksual. Para ahli fiqh sepakat bahwa sahnya seorang suami menjatuhkan talak ialah dewasa/baligh dan atas kehendak sendiri bukan karena terpaksa atau ada paksaan dari pihak ketiga. Para ulama menyatakan bahwa talak merupakan suatu hal yang dibolehkan apabila terjadi salah satu hal yang telah disebutkan dalam Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI) yang mengganggu atau menghalangi ketika bersenggama, yang mana Imam Syafi’i menyebutnya dengan al-ritqu yaitu tersumbatnya lubang vagina oleh benjolan daging.

Published: March 2022

The presence of Islam as a religion revealed by Allah SWT to the Prophet Muhammad SAW certainly aims to create goodness in the world and in the hereafter. In achieving this goal, the Al-Qur'an has arranged various matters regarding how to create an Islam that is Rahmatan Lil Alamin. One of the obvious forms of this is the existence of orders to aid others without asking for added value to the assistance given. The commandment is contained in the Al-Qur'an surah Al-Baqarah 282-283. However, they are still ordered to prepare an object to be used as collateral for debt, this contract is then called rahn (pawn). That is, in a pawning contract the value of helping fellow human beings is implemented. In addition, there are also things that can prevent bad things in the future by having objects that are used as collateral for the pawning contract. So then from the pawning agreement, it can be seen how Islam is present as a blessing for all nature, the meaning of grace is to provide real goodness in the form of living both in the world and the hereafter with three indicators: prosperity, peace, and happiness.

Even though the Omnibus Law Bill has been enacted into law, there is still controversy in it. There are still many regulations that overlap and are unclear about the workers (the workers). The job creation law further strengthens the position of employers compared to siding with the workers. The regulation of working hours on workers' salaries increasingly shows the current impartiality of the government. This, of course, becomes an alienation for the workers because in their own country they are forced laborers who are hired for inappropriate pay. Borrowing the thought of Karl Marx said that the existence of a most basic alienation occurs in human work. Work should be a form of identity for humans, but now the opposite is happening due to the capitalist system and the exploitation of the means of work. Ironically this is what happened. This paper is based on library research and field research. This research is a qualitative research using a phenomenology approach. The purpose of this paper is to find out the meaning contained in Law No. 11 of 2020 concerning the regulation of working hours for the proletariat. 11 of 2020, in which there are contradictions that favor investors compared to labor workers. It is hoped that this criticism can be heard by policy makers so that there is a balance between the interests of investors and the interests of workers.

The function of elections is to act as a filter for "politicians" who will represent and bring the people's voice in representative institutions, those who are elected are considered as people or groups who have the ability or obligation to speak and act on behalf of a larger group through parties. politics (political parties). Therefore, the existence of political parties is a must in modern democratic political life. Gifts that come from state officials are no stranger to whether it be in the form of financial or goods assistance, one of the goals is none other than imaging, which is done openly in order to give a good image in front of the general public. The issue of money politics always appears in democratic events. Both at the village, district, city, provincial, and national levels. The emergence of money politics is due to the fact that people are still tolerant and permissive of money politics. The public considers money politics as a sustenance that cannot be denied, as an addition to daily needs, as a cost or compensation for the contestants. Because on election day they do not work, go to the fields, or the fields. So that money politics is considered as an opportunity to get fortune.

Published: March 2022

La presente investigación surge con la intención de analizar si existe una relación entre la influencia de la socialización diferencial por el género y las pautas diferenciales de elección, del grupo etario 11-12 años, en relación a los videojuegos. Por esta razón, se formuló un cuestionario al alumnado del último curso de Educación Primaria del colegio CEIP Frián de Teis de Vigo (n=47). Además, se analizaron los videojuegos habituales a los que juega el alumnado en función de la temática y de los estereotipos y roles de género que pueden transmitir, haciendo una clasificación entre videojuegos más y menos estereotipados. El análisis de los resultados nos revela que existen diferencias importantes que pueden derivarse de una relación entre la socialización diferencial por el género con las pautas que ese alumnado tiene en la actualidad respeto al juego elegido, con quien hacerlo o el tiempo que le dedica. Los datos recogidos en el estudio permiten tirar algunas conclusiones y formular la necesidad de que familias y docentes estén informados sobre la persistencia de modelos sexistas en los videojuegos y aboguen de forma conjunta en el camino de la coeducación.

A Pragmatic Study of Identity Representation in American Political Speeches
Authors: Nashmi Baidaa Hasan , Mehdi Wafaa Sahib
Published: March 2022

Identity is an influential and flexible concept in social sciences and political studies. The basic sense of identity is looking for uniqueness. In one sense, it is a sign of identification with those we assume they are similar to us or at least in some significant ways they are so. Globalization, migration, modern technologies, media and political conflicts are argued to have a crucial effect on identity representation in terms of the political perspectives specifically in the United States of America. This paper endeavors to investigate how American politicians represent their identities in speeches delivered in different periods of time namely from 2015 to 2018 in terms of the pragmatic paradigm. Three randomly selected speeches by famous American politicians are chosen for the analysis. This paper aims to answer these questions: What are the possible types of identity that are represented in the American political speeches? What are the pragmatic phenomena utilized to manifest identity in the contexts under investigation? Which pragmatic strategies are highly made use of in representing identity in the contexts under scrutiny? Data analysis shows that different types of identity representations appear in the data like the national and political identity, among others. Speech acts, reference, impoliteness and maxim breaching are the pragmatic phenomena that are utilized in the manifestation of identity in the American political speeches. The first two are the most utilized ones among the other pragmatic theories.

Males were 54.9% (845) while 45.1% (695) were females. Rate of intraoperative complications was 0.9% (14 cases). Posterior capsule rupture occurred in 0.8% (13 cases), and zonular disinsertion in 0.1% (1 case). At 4 – 16 weeks post-operatively, follow–up rate was 53.8% (828 patients); and the percentages of patients with good, borderline and poor BCVA were 94.7% (784 cases), 2.3% (19 cases), and 3.0% (25 cases) respectively.
Conclusion:  Good visual outcome can be obtained after cataract surgery at a secondary eye hospital, provided the surgeons and operating room team are trained, well equipped and follow aseptic measures.

Purpose:  To determine the success of combined trabeculotomy and trabeculectomy with application of Mitomycin C in primary congenital glaucoma.
Study Design:  Interventional case series.
Place and Duration of Study:  Mughal eye hospital Lahore from January 2018 to December 2019.
Methods:  Twenty-four patients of primary congenital glaucoma were included. Secondary glaucoma and patients with corneal haze were excluded. Corneal diameter above 11.5, 12.5 and 13 mm (when combined with raised IOP) were considered indications for the surgery in neonates, at 1 year of age and at any age respectively. I-Care tonometer was used to measure IOP in all the cases. Trabeculotomy combined with Trabeculectomy plus MMC was performed in all cases. Procedure was successful if post-operative IOP was between 5 and 21 mm of Hg and stable optic nerve head at 3 months after surgery.
 Results:  Mean age of the patients was 9.7 ± 7.6 months. Mean preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) was 27.8 ± 4.4 mm of Hg. Mean post operative IOP was 13.5 ± 6.5, 17.8 ± 5 and 16.9 ± 4.8 mm of Hg on first day, at the end of one month and after 3 months respectively.Twenty-one (88 %) cases were successful based on the set criteria.Complications included non-identification of Canal of Schlemn, full thickness superficial flap with uveal show due to very thin sclera, hyphema, collapse of anterior chamber and choroidal detachment.
Conclusion:  Combined Trabeculotomy and Trabeculectomy with application of Mitomycin C is effective in decreasing IOP significantly.

Retinoblastoma is a blinding malignancy of the childhood, it is curable when diagnosed early and treated properly, but retinoblastoma is dismal when the basic elements in diagnosis and treatment are lacking. Survival and ocular prognosis mirrors economic development of the countries. Eighty percent of retinoblastoma affects children in the developing countries. The complexity of the required multi-disciplinory approach makes treatment difficult in the developing countries. We have set up an example of a retinoblastoma treatment center that caters for early diagnosis, systemic chemotherapy, intra arterial chemotherapy, intra vitreal chemotherapy, focal laser ablasion and long term follow up assisted with retinal camera.

مبادئ علم العلل من خلال مقدّمة كتاب "التمييز" للإمام مسلم رحمه الله
Authors: عواطي فاطمة
Published: March 2022

علم علل الحديث؛ هو العلم الذي يعنى بالكشف عن الأسباب الغامضة الخفية التي تقدح في الحديث وتفسد عليه صحته رغم أنه يبدو سليمًا في الظاهر، فميدان علم العلل هو الروايات، لا سيما روايات الثقات. وكتاب "التمييز" للإمام مسلم من أهم كتب العلل وأوائلها، ألّفه استجابة لمطلب أحدهم كما صرّح به، وموضوعه سرد أمثلة من أحاديث الثقات التي أخطأوا فيها، مع بيان مواضع أخطائهم وعلل أحاديثهم.

 ولكنه قبل أن يبدأ في سرد الأمثلة من أحاديث الحفّاظ المعلولة، وبيان مواضع العلة فيها، قدّم لذلك بمقدّمة نافعة ثريّة، عكست أوضاع عصره، وأوضح فيها سبب حاجته لبيان مسوّغات تعليل أحاديث الثقات، بعدما عُرف استنكار ذلك من قبل بعض العوام والجهلة، كما وصفهم -رحمه الله، فتضمّنت في ثناياها المبادئ الأساسية، والأسس العلميّة الموضوعيّة التي يعتمد عليها الأئمة المحدّثون في تعليل الأحاديث.

وجاء هذا البحث ليجيب عن إشكالية هي: ما المبادئ الأساسية التي يقوم عليها علم العلل وضمّنها الإمام مسلم مقدّمته ويرى أنه يجب على كل من أراد أن يفهم هذا العلم ويخوض فيه أن يَعْلَمها ويتعلّمها؟ وللإجابة عن هذه الإشكالية اتّبعت المنهج الوصفي التحليلي والمنهج الاستقرائي. وذلك بقراءة متمعّنة لمقدّمة كتاب "التمييز"، واستخراج مبادئ علم العلل التي بثّها الإمام مسلم رحمه الله فيها، مع الرجوع إلى كلام الأئمة النقّاد الذي يؤيّدها ويزيدها وضوحا.

Abstrak

 Latar belakang : Penurunan kekuatan otot dan gangguan keseimbangan yang terjadi seiring pertambahan usia, merupakan faktor risiko terjadinya kejadian jatuh. Otot quadriceps femoris merupakan prediktor jatuh dan menjadi salah satu penentu kemampuan fungsional aktivitas sehari-hari. Latihan keseimbangan adalah salah satu latihan untuk meningkatkan keseimbangan tubuh lansia. Latihan penguatan dengan resistance band memberikan resistensi menggunakan karet elastis yang teregang.. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penambahan latihan penguatan dengan resistance band terhadap peningkatan kekuatan otot quadriceps femoris pada lansia yang mendapatkan latihan keseimbangan.

Metode : Penelitian ini merupakan randomized experimental dengan rancangan pre and post test design. Sebanyak 24 lansia pria dan wanita usia 60-70 tahun dibagi menjadi kelompok kontrol dan perlakuan. Kedua kelompok mendapatkan latihan keseimbangan 3 kali per minggu selama 5 minggu. Kelompok perlakuan mendapatkan tambahan latihan dengan resistance band sebanyak 3 kali per minggu selama 5 minggu. Sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan dilakukan pengukuran kekuatan otot quadriceps femoris pada kedua kelompok.

Hasil :  Terdapat peningkatan signifikan pada kekuatan otot quadriceps femoris kaki kanan (p = 0,001) dan kaki kiri (p = 0,001) pada kelompok perlakuan. Pada perbandingan antar kelompok didapatkan peningkatan rerata kekuatan otot quadriceps femoris kanan dan kiri, namun tidak didapatkan perbedaan yang bermakna secara statistik pada peningkatan kekuatan otot quadriceps femoris kaki kanan (p = 0,088) dan kaki kiri (p = 0,093)

Simpulan : Penambahan resistance band pada latihan keseimbangan selama 5 minggu berpengaruh secara klinis terhadap kekuatan otot quadriceps femoris pada lansia namun tidak bermakna secara statistik.

Kata Kunci : Resistance band, latihan keseimbangan, quadriceps femoris, lansia
