Introduction: spaces of upset in the Nordic region
Authors: Salö Linus , Karlander David , Leppänen Sirpa , Westinen Elina , Spindler Møller Janus
Published: May 2022

This introductory article opens the thematic issue Spaces of Upset in the Nordic Region. It introduces the contributions of the issue, outlines the concepts that unite them, and discusses the sociolinguistic area in which they are set: the Nordic region. Centering on Denmark, Finland and Sweden, the article offers an overview of some of the sociolinguistic, ideological and political characteristics of the region and the countries it comprises. The Nordic region is widely seen as a paradigm case of social stability, consensus and cohesion. This vision is, however, a mirage. To be sure, upset often lingers below the discursive veneer of Nordic harmony, concord and agreement. Breaking with this outlook, this thematic issue takes a closer look at some of the antipodes of this sociolinguistic and ideological condition. Its contributions engage with ‘spaces of upset’, that is, with manifestations and experiences of sociolinguistic rupture, upheaval or change, in and through which visions of sociolinguistic stability and cohesion are disrupted and challenged. These spaces of upset bear witness to social, ideological and linguistic tensions and changes, be they incipient, enduring or surpassed. They accordingly provide a new take on processes of continuity and change, pointing out the ideological faultlines of the orders they disrupt, or upset.
Illocutionary-act-type sensitivity and discursive sequence: An examination of quotation
Authors: Oishi Etsuko
Published: May 2022

The present paper develops the concept of discourse within Austin’s original speech act theory as laid out in Austin, J. L., [1962]1975 How to do things with words. Oxford: Oxford University Press, and provides a model to explain illocutionary acts in discourse. In uttering something, a speaker performs an illocutionary act and imports its conventional effect into the discourse, in which the next speaker (the hearer in the preceding turn) performs an illocutionary act and brings about its effect, and the sequenced effects develop the discourse. Both the content of an utterance imported into the discourse as the illocutionary effect and the discursive sequence that the utterance creates are sensitive to the illocutionary-act-type that it performs. Quotation is examined from this perspective, and it is claimed that a speaker indicates a locution by means of quotation marks while performing an illocutionary act. The speaker (i) performs an illocutionary act pertaining to the locution, (ii) reports an illocutionary (or perlocutionary) act in another discourse by means of the locution by which the act was performed (or a part of it), or (iii) indicates a part of the locution of the present utterance, and thus signals a special sense or referent, or importance. Depending on the type of illocutionary act, the quoted material is imported into the discourse in a specific way.
Moorean utterances and the illocutionary dynamics of assertion
Authors: Labinaz Paolo
Published: May 2022

This paper aims to show, in the light of an Austin-inspired speech-act theoretical framework, that there is a fundamental difference in the absurdity that occurs when one utters either the belief or the knowledge version of Moorean sentences (whose linguistic form amounts to “p, but I don’t believe/know thatp”) and that this difference lies in the kind of speech act norms that their utterance overtly violates. To do so, I will consider the conversational patterns in which the two versions might emerge and, in particular, what linguistic reactions they might elicit in the audience. I will show that, while it is possible to imagine conversational patterns in which someone asserts something and also says that she cannot believe it to be true (although they seem to occur very rarely), the same cannot be said for the knowledge version. I shall argue that while in both cases, a speech act norm appears to be overtly violated, these violations regard different kinds of speech act norms, and thereby result in two different kinds of absurdity.
Raman pumps power distribution optimization for maximum overall gain and flatness of a hybrid SOA/EDFA/Raman optical amplifier
Authors: Kaur Ajaybeer , Bhamrah Manjit Singh , Atieh Ahmad
Published: May 2022

A hybrid optical amplifier (HOA) is designed and optimized for the transmission of 40 dense wavelength division multiplexed system (DWDM) channels modulated at 10 Gbps having 25 GHz spacing at the edge of the L and U wavelength bands over more than 250 km. Multi-parameter optimization process is used to achieve the highest gain and best gain flatness. Different power combinations distributed among four lasers of a total forward pumping power (1270 mW) and total backward pumping power of either 730 mW or 850 mW are investigated for their effect on the hybrid amplifier gain and flatness. The best power distribution among the pumps provides about 31 dB overall gain with a flatness about 0.8 dB and noise figure ∼5.7 dB. It is found that the red-shifted pumps’ wavelengths should be used in the forward direction, while the blue-shifted pumps’ wavelengths should be used in the backward direction.
Ectopic parathyroid hormone as a rare aetiology of hypercalcemia with rhabdomyosarcoma: a new treatment strategy with zoledronic acid and Denosumab
Authors: Kilci Fatih , Demirsoy Uğur , Jones Jeremy Huw , Çakır Özgür , Çizmecioğlu-Jones Filiz Mine
Published: May 2022

Objectives

Ectopic parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion is rare in children with rhabdomyosarcoma, and only a few pediatric cases have been reported to date. Reports of the use of zoledronic acid (ZA) and Denosumab are limited for the treatment of hypercalcemia of malignancy (HCM) in the pediatric population. The aim of presenting this pediatric case of rhabdomyosarcoma accompanied by HCM, secondary to ectopic PTH secretion, was to highlight the benefits of ZA as a first-choice bisphosphonate in this situation with Denosumab as an alternative therapy.

Case presentation

The patient was diagnosed at 13 years with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Multiple bone metastases first appeared at 15 years, but he remained normocalcemic until 17 years old when serum calcium was 15.1 mg/dL and PTH 249 pg/mL. While serum calcium responded well after ZA and Denosumab cycles, PTH remained elevated, reaching a peak value of 1851 pg/mL during treatment cycles.

Conclusions

We report a patient with rhabdomyosarcoma accompanied by HCM, secondary to ectopic PTH, in whom the HCM was successfully managed with ZA and Denosumab. We believe that ZA should be the bisphosphonate of choice in pediatric HCM with rhabdomyosarcoma, while Denosumab may be another option in ZA-refractory cases.
A Note on the Platonist Boethus: In Light of New Evidence from the Syriac Tradition
Authors: Ge Tianqin
Published: May 2022

This article re-examines the identity and chronology of the lexicographer Boethus, by analyzing three pieces of evidence. It is argued that the lexicographer Boethus is a Middle Platonist flourishing in the late first or early second century, who believed in the transmigration of souls and was engaged in exegesis of Plato. In particular, this article draws attention to a testimony on Boethus from a newly discovered treatise preserved in Syriac, which is identified as Porphyry’s On Principles and Matter.
Criterial V2: ModP as a Locus of Microvariation in Swiss Romansh Varieties
Authors: Samo Giuseppe
Published: May 2022

In this article, we explore how cartographic maps interact with a concept of parameters in terms of syntactic operations triggered by morphosyntactic features in the spirit of Rizzi (2017. On the format and locus of parameters: The role of morphosyntactic features.Linguistic Analysis41. 159–191). Adopting the guidelines of a criterial approach to verb second, in which the inflected verb creates a Spec-Head configuration (verb adjacency) with the highest activated criterial head in the syntactic architecture, we discuss microparametric variation among Swiss Romansh varieties concerning the activation of ModP, a dedicated criterial position for “highlighted” adverbials (Rizzi 2004. Locality and left periphery. In Adriana Belletti (ed.),Structures and beyond [the Cartography of syntactic structures], Vol. 3, 223–251. Oxford: Oxford University Press) within the left periphery of the clause.
The multifaceted role of autophagy in cancer
Authors: Russell Ryan C , Guan Kun‐Liang
Published: May 2022

Autophagy is a cellular degradative pathway that plays diverse roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Cellular stress caused by starvation, organelle damage, or proteotoxic aggregates can increase autophagy, which uses the degradative capacity of lysosomal enzymes to mitigate intracellular stresses. Early studies have shown a role for autophagy in the suppression of tumorigenesis. However, work in genetically engineered mouse models and in vitro cell studies have now shown that autophagy can be either cancer‐promoting or inhibiting. Here, we summarize the effects of autophagy on cancer initiation, progression, immune infiltration, and metabolism. We also discuss the efforts to pharmacologically target autophagy in the clinic and highlight future areas for exploration.

Published: May 2022

Recently, old and dilapidated infrastructures such as bridges, chimneys and tunnels have become very serious in Japan. Inspection of the infrastructure was done by climbing the ladders that were set up. However, the inspection becomes dangerous as it is necessary to climb into very high areas and unpredictable weather and conditions. In this study, a lightweight inspection robot that can climb ladders in adverse weather conditions was proposed and tested. To grasp a ladder pillar without hurting, the wrapping motion is required. Therefore, the flexible robot arm that can grasp the ladder pillar while approaching and release it while going away was also proposed and tested. The automatic ladder-climbing inspection robot that consists of two pillar grasping flexible robot arms and a lifting robot arm was proposed and tested. The control system of the robot, driven by four on/off valves and an embedded controller, was also constructed. The ladder climbing experiment using the tested robot was carried out. As a result, it could be confirmed that the robot can climb up and down a ladder with soft gripping the ladder, and the soft robot can be also operated by using only four valves.
Dry and Wet Lubrication Analysis for Multi-Material Hip Assembly
Authors: Ravikant  , Vinod Kumar Mittal  , Dr. Vikas Gupta
Published: May 2022

Hip joint repair/replacement is one of the most thriving orthopedic surgical procedures in the human body. The group of patients undergoing hip replacement considerably includes young and physically active persons with varying movements thus requiring longer product life and ease of maintenance. Perfect lubrication in hip assembly ensures a low wear rate and better product life. The present work focuses on dry and wet lubrication analysis of complete implant assembly instead of an individual part. The assembly consists of a stem, head, liner and cup, each made of different materials like a ceramic femoral head mounted over a metallic femoral stem with a polyethylene liner and a metallic acetabular cup.  In this work, eight metal-materials are considered for stem/cup, three ceramic materials for the head and two polyethylene materials for the liner. The combinations of these materials are evaluated for various mechanical parameters. Dry (µ = 0.13) and wet (µ = 0.05) lubricating conditions between the liner and femoral head have been considered and their effects on the head, liner and cup have been evaluated for the optimization of Hip joint design. Fifty percent of re-surgery cases arise because of excessive wear out resulting in aseptic loosening of the femoral head and liner interface. Femoral head of size 28 mm diameter with 2 mm thick liner and 3 mm thick acetabular cup are modeled and are analyzed for axial pay load of 2.3 kN. The maximum von mises stress and total deformation for various material combinations of implant assembly have been compared to select the most suitable one for the arthroplasty implantation. The combination of CoCrMo – Ceramics – HXLPE – CoCrMo demonstrates minimum stress and deformation for all three parts i.e. femoral head, liner and acetabular cup under present loading and boundary conditions. ZTA is emerged as the preferred ceramic material for femoral head having a higher compressive strength.
Permanganate Treatment Optimization on Tensile Properties and Water Absorption of Kenaf Fiber-Polypropylene Biocomposites
Authors: Judawisastra Hermawan , Refiadi Gunawan
Published: May 2022

Kenaf fiber has been studied for biocomposites reinforcement due to its renewable and carbon neutrality. Meanwhile, polypropylene sheets are easily processed and considered a prospective thermoplastic matrix source for biocomposites. Hence, the combination of both materials is expected to form an attractive biocomposite. This study aimed to optimize permanganate treatment on tensile properties and water absorption of kenaf-reinforced propylene biocomposites. It thermally tested kenaf fibers and PP using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) before performing compression molding at 185°C and 70 bars using the film stacking method. The kenaf fiber variables were untreated, alkaline pre-treated, and alkaline-permanganate treated to low concentrations of 0.01 to 0.05 wt% of KMnO4. Furthermore, this study conducted Yarn tensile test and Weibull distribution to find a strength variability statistically. Composite tensile and burn tests were performed to obtain tensile strength, constituent materials, and void volume fractions. Composites fractography was implemented to examine the effect of permanganate on composite water uptake behavior using scanning electron microscopy. This study used low concentration in permanganate treatments than several previous studies. The results showed that biocomposites have a tensile strength of 125 MPa, higher than in previous studies that found a value less than 80 MPa. This study has contributed to the green optimization treatment using lower chemical concentrations but with better results on impregnation, interfacial, water absorption, and mechanical properties of kenaf or polypropylene composites.
Constitutionality of President’s Authority Regarding Lockdown Policy During the State’s Emergency
Authors: Wahid Deny Noer , Ramadhan Febriansyah , Utami Tasyabilla Pandi
Published: May 2022

The Article 22 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia grants an exclusive authority to the president enacted as "legal dictatorial power", meaning that the President holds a sovereign authority to create and form regulations or laws independently without needing to discuss with the House of Representatives (DPR). The authority is to stipulate Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perppu). It refers to the president’s authority basis to run the regulation over the running government whose primary aims are to guarantee and to protect the citizen’s welfare. On the other hand, in respect of Indonesian constitutional system that adheres to the concept of decentralization, local governments also have the right to determine a situation/condition in response to the global pandemic situation. As a matter of the fact, so many overlaps are found in the exercise of policies and regulations under the authority of central and regional governments. Thus, the current research is aimed to strengthen the role of President as the head of state in dealing with the global pandemic issue and in applying lockdown with its all mechanisms. Practically, the research was carried out by means of normative legal research method associated with statutory, conceptual, historical, and comparative approaches. Furthermore, the research had found that the President appeared to be the supreme power holder over central governments, equipped with strong legitimacy in running the lockdown in accordance with juridical and empirical perspectives on the effectiveness of pandemic handling
Role of Paralegal in Providing Access to Justice for the Poor: Comparing Indonesia and Malaysia
Authors: Wicaksono Muhammad Bagas Ragil , Maliki Hakim Anis
Published: May 2022

The Law on Legal Aid describes the duties and authorities of Paralegals, in practice several times it became controversial when previously paralegals were allowed to participate in proceedings in court, but after the Supreme Court's decision Number 22 P/HUM/2018 there were several articles that were deleted. Then, the role of paralegals can be maximized in providing legal assistance, especially for the underprivileged. The provision of legal aid can also be implemented properly if all stakeholders can synergize properly, one of which is with law enforcement as the cornerstone of the reflection of law in Indonesia. In several case studies, there have been many roles of paralegals who can provide non-litigation legal assistance to the general public, especially the poor and marginalized. In this case, there is concern about the role of law students which can also be maximized as a guard in legal counseling to the community, as well as sustainable assistance. It is hoped that the more people who are aware of the law will grow, the public's confidence in the law in Indonesia will also increase.

Published: May 2022

Abstract. White Portland cement (WPC) in Indonesia is generally used for architectural work. WPC is still rarely used in structural concrete because the price is relatively higher than grey cement. This research reviewed the compressive strength of concrete using WPC and compared it with concrete using grey cement. Compressive strength testing of concrete using WPC and grey cement was carried out at ages: 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. From the research, the compressive strength of concrete using WPC was 13.81 MPa (60%) at 3 days, 16.68 MPa (72%) at 7 days, 19.45 MPa (84%) at 14 days, 22.34 MPa (97%) at 21 days, and 23.11 MPa (100%) at 28 days. The compressive strength of concrete using grey cement was 13.03 MPa (63%) at 3 days, 15.11 MPa (74%) at 7 days, 17.22 MPa (84%) at 14 days, 18.78 MPa (91%) at 21 days, and 20.54 MPa (100%) at 28 days. The compressive strength of concrete using WPC is higher than grey cement at all ages. The rate of compressive strength of concrete using WPC is almost the same as grey cement at all ages.

Objective

The incidence of adrenal crisis (AC) remains high, particularly for people with primary adrenal insufficiency, despite the introduction of behavioural interventions. The present study aimed to identify and evaluate available evidence of interventions aiming to prevent AC in primary adrenal insufficiency.

Design

This study is a systematic review of the literature and theoretical mapping.

Methods

MEDLINE, MEDLINE in Process, EMBASE, ERIC, Cochrane CENTRAL, CINAHL, PsycINFO, the Health Management Information Consortium and trial registries were searched from inception to November 2021. Three reviewers independently selected studies and extracted data. Two reviewers appraised the studies for the risk of bias.

Results

Seven observational or mixed methods studies were identified where interventions were designed to prevent AC in adrenal insufficiency. Patient education was the focus of all interventions and utilised the same two behaviour change techniques, ‘instruction on how to perform a behaviour’ and ‘pharmacological support’. Barrier and facilitator themes aiding or hindering the intervention included knowledge, behaviour, emotions, skills, social influences and environmental context and resources. Most studies did not measure effectiveness, and assessment of knowledge varied across studies. The study quality was moderate.

Conclusion

This is an emerging field with limited studies available. Further research is required in relation to the development and assessment of different behaviour change interventions to prevent AC.

Published: May 2022

Coating a film on the surface of fruits to prolong the shelf life is an often-used method. However, wax coating is not sustainable and environmentally compatible. In this study, soybean protein isolate (SPI) and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) were dissolved to form a coating solution with glycerin added as a plasticizer. The results showed that the tensile strength (TS) of the films increased from 6.52 to 20.76 MPa and the elongation at break (EAB) decreased from 68.07% to 12.67% when HPMC content increased from 0% to 20%, respectively. The intermolecular forces between the SPI and HPMC molecules made the polymers film-forming and the obtained film more continuous and stronger. The obtained film was tested on grapes and cherry tomatoes, which tightly coated with the film without any cracks. This greatly delayed their deterioration. By comparing the mass loss, total soluble solids, hardness, titratable acids, and pH values, the results showed that the coated grapes and cherry tomatoes exhibited higher freshness than the bare ones. This study fabricated an environmentally friendly coating that could prolong the shelf life of fruits, which will potentially promote the healthy development of the fruit industry.
Performance evaluation of a wood treatment for connections with dowel-type bolts
Authors: Segovia Franz , Blanchet Pierre , Jiloul Abdessamad
Published: May 2022

Recent studies have shown the advantage of wood impregnation on increasing the dowel-bearing strength of black spruce wood by almost 50%. The aim of the present study was to improve the mechanical performance of a dowel-type connection through an impregnation method for black spruce wood. The results showed that wood treatments improved the mechanical performance of dowel-type connections. The dowel-bearing strength increased up to 25%, while the stiffness increased up to 52%. The increase obtained was lower in comparison with the previous studies, however. A lower polymer quantity, resulted in a shorter vacuum time, and a lower temperature polymerization used in wood treatment brought the process closer to an industrial application.

Authors: Kasmani Jafar Ebrahimpour , Samariha Ahmad
Published: May 2022

Simultaneous effects of using cellulose nanocellulose and chemical pulp in paper money were studied with bottom combers cotton pulp. The bottom combers pulp and chemical pulp were prepared in a factory that produced durable paper, and their products were transferred to the laboratory. The nanocellulose was prepared by Nano Novin Polymer Co. and was consumed at 4 levels, i.e., 0%, 0.3%, 0.6%, and 0.9%. After commixing the pulp with the nanocellulose at the identified percentages, handsheets of 90 g∙m-2 papers were produced. The results showed that by increasing the amount of nanocellulose, up to 0.9%, the tensile strength index, burst strength index, tear strength index, and folding endurance increased 22.7%, 38.9%, 7.7%, and 348%, respectively, when compared with the control sample. Enhancement via nanocellulose up to 0.9% increased the surface smoothness up to 7.9% compared with the control sample, while the air resistance and Cobb decreased 69% and 7.9% in comparison with control sample, respectively. By increasing the nanocellulose content up to 0.9% the opacity increased 0.7%; moreover, the brightness and whitening decreased 3.5% and 10.6, respectively. The scanning electron microscopy results indicated that enhancement via nanocellulose decreased the air resistance.

High-strength cast aluminum alloy AM4.5Kd (VAL10) belongs to the Al-Cu system and due to the combination of a high level of physical, mechanical and operational properties, is widely used in high-tech industries and technology: aviation, space, shipbuilding, transport. Products from the alloy AM4.5Kd (VAL10) are obtained by all known methods of casting (in sand molds, in a chill mold, under pressure), differing in cooling rates. This has a significant effect on the structure and properties of the alloy, not only in the as-cast, but also in the heat-treated state, which determines the relevance of scientific work in this direction. The article presents the results of a study of the microstructure of the AM4.5Kd (VAL10) alloy with a change in its cooling rate during the curing process (Vcool.) from 0.4 °C/s to ≥ 105 °C/s. The alloy was melted, refined and, at a temperature of 750°C, poured into molds with different heat sinks. It is shown that an increase in the cooling rate during the hardening process leads to a decrease in the size of structural components, in particular, aluminum (Alα) solid solution crystals and to an increase in their microhardness. At a cooling rate of 0.4 °C/s, corresponding to solidification in a sandy form, primary Alα crystals are formed in the form of coarsened dendrites with an average size slightly larger than 800 μm, along the boundaries of which a fine network of particles of Al3Ti, Al12Mn2Cu phases and Alα+СuАl2 eutectics is formed. With an increase in the cooling rate, the branching of the dendrites and the volume fraction of the finely differentiated eutectic increase, the cooperative growth of phases in which is maintained throughout the entire range of cooling rates studied. The value of the dendritic parameter of the solid solution of aluminum regularly decreases with a practically unchanged shape factor of its crystals, which is almost up to Vcool. ≈ 105 °C/s is from 1.45 to 3.15. A similar dependence of the change in the macrograin size on the cooling rate was not found. Its anomalous growth was recorded at a cooling rate of ≥ 120 °C/s, at which the macrograin size is commensurate with the alloy cooled at a rate of 0.4 °C/s. In the work, such a discrepancy is explained from the standpoint of the theory of the nucleus and growth of crystals. Keywords: cooling rate, microstructure, AM4.5Kd (VAL10), structure formation, macrograin size.

Obtaining a homogeneous structure and uniform-phase distribution is critical to a high set of mechanical and operational properties of rolled metal. However, in practice it is not always possible to create metal products with the specified characteristics. In order to determine the morphological features of the structure of rolled carbon steel, a comparative study of carbon steel samples with a carbon content of 0.49 % C and 0.2 % C selected from hot-rolled billets was carried out. The billets of each group were produced under the conditions of the same enterprise, with close temperature-time modes of deformation processing. The main difference was in manufacturing processes of the output continuous cast steel billets. This research shows that with identical normalized chemical composition of steel and the same thermomechanical treatment, the formation of the morphological structure features of hot-rolled steel occurs in a different way. Therefore, we can assume that the liquation, the diffusive mobility of elements is particularly influenced by the content of impurity elements and gases in steel, which leads to a different type of structures in the finished rolled metal. At the same time, these differences are observed in carbon steels with different carbon content. A sample of non-vacuumed OC grade axle steel (0.49 % C) from converter steelmaking has a more homogeneous structure without local areas of pearlite or ferrite accumulation. It was shown that the formation of ferrite rim in the microsegregation areas occurs not only in manganous sulfides, but also arises on the background of the smallest oxide inclusions. There is significant structural heterogeneity in the samples of electric steel, despite the lower sulfur content and gassiness of steel; at the same time, a dense perlite layer is formed around the sulfides. There is also a difference in steel grade 20 (0.2 % C) of different manufacturing processes. The structure is more homogeneous in qualitatively deoxidized vacuum degassed steel; no local areas with different dimensional characteristics were detected. The size of the structural elements is much larger and the structure has mostly large sections of the Widmanstatten ferrite. Since a large number of non-metallic inclusions and gassiness of steel is not a positive factor for providing a high set of properties of metal products, the modes of thermomechanical treatment used today require adjustments depending on the characteristics of steel melting. Keywords: microstructural heterogeneity, ferritic-pearlitic banding, mechanical properties, manganous sulfides.

Moral education is a way to instill good behavior ini a person so that we can became a good person and be accepted in social life. Through a community, moral education can be cultivated in a person and of course in the development of child. The purpose of this study was to determine the practice of moral education (Emile Durkheim) in a Solo Mengajar community. This research uses qualitative research with a qualitative descriptive approach. Research data collection techniques include observation, interviews and documentation. Resource persons in this study were volunteers and students of Solo Mengajar. The results of this study describe the elements of Emile Durkheim’s moral education, the spirit of dicipline, the bond between groups and autonomy of self determination (will) in the Solo Mengajar Community. The spirit of dicipline in this community is seen from the teaching process and the rules that are applied when teaching takes place. The bond between gruops in the Solo Mengajar community begins with building bonds between volunteers through the meetings that are held. By uniting the closeness between these volunteers which then made it easier for them to carry out vatious varied activities to tie the children in the teaching environment. Meanwhile, the volunteers’ understanding of the characteristics of children and their surroundings as well as the problems that occur during the teaching process is self-determination or the will this community. So they can determine what actions or activities they will do at teaching time.Keywords : Community, Moral Education, Solo Mengajar

Authentic assessment as a form of assessment in the 2013 curriculum. The object of study is through the implementation of an authentic assessment, the constraints and solutions proposed for each problem. One of the reasons for this gap is the multi-character, multi-understanding factor and the students. Basically, the method of interviewing and observing social studies teachers is called descriptive qualitative research. This study aims to reveal authentic assessments and understand the situation in the field how authentic assessments are carried out. In addition, the potential difficulties encountered during the assessment by the teacher and the solutions determined. The results show that social studies teachers at MTs NU Miftahul Falah Kudus have a perception of authentic assessment that has 3 components, namely knowledge, skills, and attitudes. However, it still has several obstacles, namely the limited skills of teachers in learning variations, lack of enthusiasm of students, material that is difficult to understand, problems in learning media, application of evaluation systems, and limited facilities. The solution is teacher openness in assessment, namely: teachers must be transparent in assessing.
