Authors: Nofrialdi Irel , Maison Maison , Muslim Muslim
Published: February 2019

Abstract: This research aims to determine differences in student anxiety levels based on gender and the relationship between students' anxiety levels before facing a mathematical test with achievement and then dig deeper information about the causes of anxiety in students. This research uses a mixed method with a sequential explanatory approach. The subjects of this study were students of class X MIA Kerinci Senior High School 2 totaling 100 students. The results of the research showed that students experiencing anxiety before taking a math test as the cause of anxiety is experience, intelligence, preparation, and family. Differences in levels of anxiety based on gender indicate that there is no significant difference between the level of anxiety experienced by male and female students but male students are more anxious than female students the cause is that there have been similar thoughts and goals in terms of achievement so as to make male students neither men nor women experience significant differences in anxiety levels. There is a relationship between the level of anxiety with learning outcomes of 0.43 which is in the category enough and has a positive relationship, namely the higher the level of anxiety, the higher the student learning outcomes. Descriptions of quantitative data indicate that there is no certainty for someone who has an anxiety level will get a definite value.

The The Occurrence of Thermal Bridges in Hemp-Lime Construction Junctions
Authors: Grudzińska Magdalena , Brzyski Przemysław
Published: February 2019

Thermal bridges increase heat losses in buildings and reduce the temperature of the internal envelope surface, causing moisture condensation and mould growth. This is an important issue for building materials based on organic components such as a hemp-lime composite, as they are particularly susceptible to biological degradation.The hemp-lime composite is used as a filling in timber frame construction. The increased cross-section of wooden elements together with the geometry change in the construction joints can form thermal bridges. The paper presents numerical analyses of temperature distribution in the area of construction elements connections, taking into account several variants of junctions: external walls, corners, and window placement in a wall. The thermal parameters of hemp-lime composites used in the analyses were obtained from the authors’ own research.Despite relatively good insulating properties, timber elements have a noticeable influence on the local increase of the heat transfer in hemp-lime composite structures, forming thermal bridges in the partitions themselves and in the construction nodes. However, the linear thermal transmittance coefficients in the presented joints were not very significant (in the range of 0.026 ÷ 0.092 W/(m·K) depending on the type of connection), proving the usefulness of this type of construction in energy-efficient buildings.

Authors: Hossain Muhammad Sazzad , Rahman Md Afzalur , Rashid Mohammad Mamunur , Hasan Mohammad Ifta Khairul , Mandal Muhammad Alamgir , Banik Debasish
Published: February 2019

Background: Intravenous dexamethasone may produce perineal pruritus in some patients when administered as premedicant before induction of anesthesia.

Objectives of study: This randomized, double-blind study was done to evaluate the efficacy of pretreatment of lignocaine on the incidence and severity of dexamethasone-induced perineal pruritus.

Materials and methods: 100 patients were enrolled in this study and allocated randomly into two equal groups. Then, patients received intravenous medications in the following sequence before induction of anesthesia: in group I, injection lignocaine 1mg/kg diluted in 5 ml normal saline and in group II, 5 ml normal saline (placebo group), then one minute later, intravenous dexamethasone sodium phosphate 10 mg was given in all groups in 3 seconds and was observed the patient's response about perineal pruritus. The severity of perineal pruritus was graded based on the visual analog scale (VAS) as none (VAS 0), mild (VAS 1-3), moderate (VAS 4-6), or severe (VAS 7-10), and recorded the incidence and severity of perineal pruritus. Then general anesthesia was induced and continued as usual.

Results: In terms of demographic data, the results of this study showed that there was no significant difference between patients in both groups (P>0.05). Overall incidence and severity of perineal pruritus in lignocaine group was significantly less, when compared with placebo group (P<0.05).

Conclusion: It can be concluded that pretreatment with 1mg/kg intravenous lignocaine may effectively reduce the incidence and severity of dexamethasone induced perineal pruritus.

Authors: Naser Md Fazal , Rahman Mizanur , Khan Md Rokonuzzaman , Rahman Md Mostafizur , Hossain Md Muazzem
Published: February 2019

Background: Retrocaval ureter also referred to as circumcaval ureter or preureteral venacava is a rare congenital anomaly with the ureters passing posterior to the inferior vena cava (IVC). The ureter classically course medially behind the inferior venacava winding around it and then passes laterally in front of it to then course distally to the bladder. Though it is a congenital anomaly, patients do not normally present with symptoms until the 3rd and 4th decades of life from a resulting hydronephrosis. This hydronephrosis may be due to kinking of the ureter. The ureteric segment is a dynamic or compression against the psoas muscle. It was initially considered as aberration in ureteric development; however current studies in embryology have led to it being considered as an aberration in the development of the inferior vena cava.

Objectives: The aim of our study was to explore the safety, feasibility and usefulness of retroperitoneoscopic surgery for retrocaval ureter performed in a single centre and to assess the short-term outcomes of patients treated with this surgical approach.

Materials and methods: Eight patients underwent retroperitoneoscopic transposition of ureter between March 2014 and November 2016, A 3-port, ballon-dissecting, retroperitoneal approach was used, no open conversion was required. Follow-up studies were performed with intravenous urography and ultrasonography.

Results: Mean operating time was 121 minutes (range 92-178) and mean anastomotic time was 56 minutes for all cases. Blood loss was minimum. None of the patients required blood transfusion. No intraoperative complications occurred. Hydronephrosis in all patients were decreased substantially after surgery.

Conclusion: Our results have demonstrated that retroperitoneoscopic transposition of ureter is an excellent minimally invasive treatment option for a retrocaval ureter that can be accomplished quickly and safely.

KRITIK OTORITARIANISME HUKUM ISLAM (KAJIAN PEMIKIRAN KHALED M. ABOU AL FADL)
Authors: Badi' Ahmad
Published: February 2019

Artikel ini membahas tentang kritik ortoritarinisme hukum Islam dengan menggunakan pendekatan pemikiran yang digagas oleh Khaled M. Abou Al Fadl. Salah satu penyebab munculnya gagasan oleh Khaled M. Abou El Fadl adalah persoalan penafsiran bias gender dalam fatwa-fatwa keagamaan Islam yang dikeluarkan oleh ahli hukum Islam pada CRLO (Counsil for Scientific Research and Legal Opinions) atau Lembaga Pengkajian Ilmiah dan Fatwa, sebuah lembaga resmi di Arab Saudi yang diberikan kepercayaan untuk mengeluarkan fatwa.Dalam konstruksinya konsep otoritas Islam sebagi wujud menjembatani kehendak Tuhan, Khaled M. Abou El Fadl memerhatikan tiga hal berikut: Pertama berkaitan dengan “kompetensi” (autentisitas). Kedua, berkaitan dengan “penetapan makna”. Ketiga berkaitan dengan “perwakilan”. Tiga pokok persoalan inilah menurut Khaled M. Abou El Fadl, memainkan peranan penting dalam membentuk “pemegang otoritas” dalam dikursus ke-Islam-an. Meinstrem otoritas sendiri bagi Khaled M. Abou El Fadl sangat penting, sebab tanpa otoritas yang terjadi adalah beragama secara subjektif, relatif dan individual. Akan tetapi menempatkan otoritas, yang dalam hal ini berkaitan dengan “kompetensi –autentisitas–”, “penetapan makna”, “perwakilan” tentu bukan tanpa persoalan, karena dengan sikap kesewenang-wenangan terhadap gagasan otoritas akan menggiring pada sikap otoritarianisme. Pada ranah otoritsrianisme akan terjadi tindakan mengunci dan mengurung kehendak Tuhan atau kehendak teks, dalam sebuah penetapan makna, dan menyajikannya sebagai sesuatu yang pasti, absolut, dan menentukan.

Akhir-akhir ini, Indonesia sering dilanda konflik sosial terutama konflik berbasis agama. Korban investasi masa depan adalah terhambatnya perkembangan anak-anak. Masa perkembangan mental maupun fisik harus terhambat trauma akibat konflik. Kejadian penyerangan terhadap komunitas Syiah di Sampang Madura merupakan potret konflik dengan korban anak-anak sangat banyak. Saat ini, terdapat sekitar 76 anak usia prasekolah dan sekolah dasar (PAUD/TK sejumlah 21 anak dan SD sejumlah 55 anak) yang tinggal bersama dengan orang tua mereka. Mereka adalah anak-anak yang secara psikologis mengalami trauma. Sebagaimana seluruh kisah orang yang hidup di pengungsian, hampir seluruh kehidupan berjalan dalam kondisi memprihatinkan. Pun dengan anak-anak pengungsi Syiah Sampang ini. Hak-hak hidupnya sebagai anak jelas tidak terpenuhi dengan baik. Di antara sekian banyak kehilangan, yang paling menyedihkan adalah hilangnya hak anak atas pendidikan Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian kepustakaan (library research), yaitu penelitian yang kajiannya dilaksanakan dengan menelaah dan menelusuri berbagai literatur. Hasilya secara umum, hasil pendidikan damai anak-anak pengungsi Syiah Sampang Madura belum menunjukkan hasil maksimal. Pasalnya, kesadaran perlunya pendidikan kurang mendapat dukungan dari orang tua dan pemuka agama Syi’ah. Dari 76 anak pengungsi yang setiap hari hadir untuk mengikuti kegiatan pendidikan damai hanya 40-45. Hasil kajian ini, menurut peneliti perlu adanya pengembangan lebih mendalam tentang “pendidikan damai”.

The data was collected during the research subject did the presentation in the class. The data analysis used qualitative descriptive. Based on the finding, it’s found there were positive and negative transfers. In positive transfer the Bimanese vowels had similar sound in English so the students from Bima were easy to pronounce the words for example, in vowel /a/ in a word argument, associate, after, discuss, /i/ in a word this, into, is, mean, /u/ in a word opportunity, role, argument, /e/ in a word recognize, based, object, /o/ in a word order, of, associate. In negative transfer because of Bimanese have a strong accent, stress and intonation so in some words like /a/, /i/, /u/, /e/ and /o/ when they speak some words in English they keep making a mistake for example the word  “recognize” (rɛkɔgnɑīz) was pronounce “rɛkɔgnɑīsɛd” by a Bimanese student, the word “procedure” (prәʃīdɛr) was pronounce “prɔʃɛdɛrʊl” by Bimanese student, the word “different” (dīfrәnt) was pronounce “difɛrɛn” by Bimanese student, and the word “family” (fӕmәlī) was pronounce “fɛmili” by Bimanese student. The Bimanese vowel could give interference to the Bimanese students during learning process because they still familiar with their language so in some words they keep make a mistake.

Authors: Ermerawati Anesti Budi
Published: February 2019

This article discusses the effects of reciting English story in a way to prepare a storytelling competition in a private elementary school. Initially forced to use the method, the young language learners (YLL) gradually came to appreciate it. The practice enabled them to construct the story comprehensively, to improve pronunciation, to motivate their peers to tell the story confidently, and to develop the habit of attending the details of language in the context of language input. To investigate how beneficial the English story recitation is, I use interview to examine teacher’s perceptions and experiences about story recitation and its effect on language development. I will also investigate how story recitation is used and its effects in an EFL (English as a foreign language) context. The paper concludes that such practice enhances YLL’s noticing and rehearsal and later it facilitates second language acquisition. Therefore, teachers are suggested to have a positive attitude towards English story recitation for young language learners.

Published: February 2019

As a Foreign Language, English is difficult for secondary school students in Indonesia not only in terms of grammatical systems but also in terms of phonetic systems. They find it difficult to pronounce most of the English words because in English there is no regular systems of how to pronounce the English words. For EFL/ESL learners in general, to pronounce the English words intelligibly they must refer to a standard dictionary which also means they have to understand how to use and read the dictionary systematically. To understand and improve the production of the various sounds and the supra-segmental features of English as a foreign language, it is suggested to use English songs. This research paper is discussed descriptive-qualitatively based on the authors’ experience as a foreign language learners and teachers. It is discussed how using songs in the English classroom can help students fix their English pronunciation. Supported with a simple questionnaire given to secondary school students, it is also found that most students can fix their pronunciation and they have a strong interest in listening and understanding popular English songs.

Objective: To assess the work-related health risk and to determine the attributable fraction due to exposure to the occupational hazards as well as the total burden of related diseases and its temporal trends in non-ferrous metallurgy located in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. Methods: The results of mandatory medical examinations of 5006 workers engaged in the pyrometallurgic and electrolytic departments of nickel and copper have been analyzed. The disability adjusted life years lost, (DALY) due to diseases having a stable and statistically significant relationship with occupational hazards has been determined. Results: 53 % of the total number of employees are occupationally exposed to nickel and copper compounds, including 50.9 % those exposed to unacceptable nickel air concentrations, 9.2 % to copper air concentrations and 19.9 % to dust of mixed composition. At the same time, the relative risk of the occupational diseases turned out to be the most significant among workers employed in the nickel-electroplating department (NED) - 6.78, and the lowest was in workers employed in copper department. The prevalence rate of work-related diseases at NED had been declining by 27.8 % from 2006 to 2015, in the pyro-refining department - by 26.8 %, and among workers who have periodic exposure to these metals - by 24.1 %. Conclusion. The most exposed groups are workers employed in the pyro-refining and nickel-electroplating departments. The use of a risk-based approach to the development of the health preventive measures allowed achieving a significant reduction in the incidence rate of work-related diseases, including that in NED workers by 2.1 times, among workers of pyrometallurgical refining by 17.8 %, including among males - by 5.0 % in men, and by 2 times in female workers.

In this paper we present new models of homeostasis as uninterrupted and chaotic changes of functional systems parameters of human body. The aim of the study is to establish the statistical and chaotic patterns of age-related changes in heart rate variability of residents of the North of the Russian Federation. Methods. The main outcomes variable was R-R interval measured using pulse oximeter "EL0KS-01". Data on other cardiovascular system functional parameters were also obtained. The new approach for the analysis we present is based on calculation of coordinates xi which are included in a common vector x(t). The new presentation of complex systems evolution for aboriginal residents and newcomers was presented. We studied permanent female residents of the Ugra region and newcomers. Results. The result of the study showed that according to a new theory of chaos-self organization there are substantial differences between dynamics of quasi-attractors of cardio-vascular system of newcomers. Age-related changes in the area of quasi-attractors demonstrate significant changes that satisfy the condition of a two-fold change in R-R intervals with age. Many people surveyed after 55 years give an increase in their quasi-attractor, which is inconsistent with the dynamics of change in the area of quasi-attractor S from time T for Khanty women and does not guarantee real longevity. The dynamic is not typical for normal aging changes of functional system parameters xi (especially R-R intervals x(t)). Conclusions. It is established that these quasi-attractors decrease with age (their area S), which is typical for the parameters of the R-R intervals. The dependence of the rate of age evolution of R-R intervals for aboriginal women is obtained, which can be used as a standard of normal aging of the human body in the Russian North.

Aim: To study biological effects of magnesium oxide nanoparticles on human health. Methods: Toxicity and potential hazards of magnesium oxide nanoparticles exposure was performed using mathematical models containing data on physical, chemical, molecular biological, biochemical, cytological and ecological properties with calculation of coefficients of hazard (D) and incompleteness of data evaluation (U) of magnesium nanoscale. Size and shape of the nanomaterial were defined using dynamic laser light scattering and scanning electron microscopy. Surface area was determined by the Brunauer, Emmet and Taylor method. Results: Magnesium oxide nanoparticles have a size of 5-100 nm and specific surface area of 64,5 m2/g. They are insoluble in water, can have hydrophobic or hydrophilic properties and have an effective positive charge. They can generate reactive oxygen species, damage DNA, interact with protein structures, destroying cell membrane, cause mitochondrial dysfunction, morphological changes and cell death, impact on proteomic and metabolic profiles, increasing the concentration digestive enzymes, carbohydrates, amino- acid and fatty acids. Besides, the material under investigation has such long-term effects of action: allergenicity, mutagenicity and embryotoxicity. D-coefficient was 1, 872. Conclusions: Magnesium oxide nanoparticles have a high degree of potential hazard for human health. The results warrant toxicological studies and assessment of toxicological-hygienic characteristics of magnesium oxide nanoparticles at various routes of intake for development of effective measures to prevent negative effect of magnesium oxide nanoparticles on human health.

About half of world’s population intake rice as a staple food. As being water baby, rice need surplus of water to get targeted yield. Water scarcity has become a global issue therefore it has become a need to enhance the rice yield with reduced amount of water. In this research we used ecological parameters e.g., temperature, pressure, actual vapor pressure, sunshine hours and the extraterrestrial radiation to compute net radiations, ground and sensible heat fluxes on daily basis. Net shortwave radiations were observed as 23087 w/m2 in comparison to net longwave radiations which were 4387 w/m2 for the complete Rice Growth Period (RGP). The soil heat flux Go was observed as 3104 w/m2. Go was observed dependent upon the Leaf Area Index (LAI) with inverse relationship between them. Sensible heat flux (H) was measured as 1771 w/m2 throughout the RGP. H was observed dependent upon net radiations with a direct relationship between them. Rn, Go and H were used as input parameters to compute water stress which determines the excess of water in early growth stages of rice crop and water scarcity in the ripening stage. The flow of methodology is easily applicable at domestic level to determine water stress in rice fields.

Introduction:
According to United
Nations there are 650 million disabled people on the world. According to the
results of World Disability Report more than one billion people lives with a
disability. Disabled people and their family makes up one third of the world
population.Purpose: In this study, the goal is to determine the rate
of the benefiting the rights provided by the present laws in Turkey.Method:In this study the literature review method is
used. Medline, Scholar, Google.com, Eric and Spor Bilimleri Magazine
"disabled people", "laws for the disabled" and
"disabled rights" is  scanned
with using the  keywords Findings: According to the findings; the rate of benefiting
the rights provided by the laws is very low, the disabled people do not know
their rights, they can not use the public transportation enough, and the
municipalities do not organize the streets, avenues and roads considering the
disabled. Also it is determined that the disabled do not benefit their rights enough
in the areas of transportation, public life, social and health. Employment of
the disabled, their working circumstances and their educational rights has
gained acceleration but when it is compared to the disabled population it is
inadequate.As
a Result:

It could be said that individually and publically
informing the disabled about their rights provided by the law would make an
important contribution to the solving of the disabled people's problems.

As a common beverage, green tea is supposed to have beneficial health effect, such as antioxidant. At present, there are many green teas available in the market in Jakarta. Their quality, in their antioxidant activity, should be proved. This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant activity of extracts of green tea products commercially available in Jakarta. Four green tea samples from different factories (coded as A, B, C, and D) were selected and macerated using methanol. DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power ability and total antioxidant capacity were used to measure the antioxidant activity. The total phenolic content (TPC) was also determined. The studied green teas had varied TPC from 23.80  to  84.03 mG GAE/g extract, ranked as B > D > A > C. All samples exhibited various but strong antioxidant activity by DPPH assay, even better than standards ascorbic acid and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). However, all extracts showed similar activities in their reducing power ability and total antioxidant capacity, with activities less than standards. These findings confirm that the quality of the Indonesian commercial green teas were heterogeneous both in TPC or DPPH scavenging capacity. But, there is an indication that they are good as an antioxidant containing beverage.
