Pre-Registration in the Undergraduate Dissertation: A Critical Discussion
Authors: Pownall Madeleine
Published: February 2020

Currently under review at Psychology Teaching Review. Over recent years, Psychology has become increasingly concerned with reproducibility and replicability of research findings (Munafò et al., 2017). One method of ensuring that research is hypothesis driven, as opposed to data driven, is the process of publicly pre-registering a study’s hypotheses, data analysis plan, and procedure prior to data collection (Nosek, Ebersole, DeHaven, & Mellor, 2018). This paper discusses the potential benefits of introducing pre-registration to the undergraduate dissertation. The utility of pre-registration as a pedagogic practice within dissertation supervision is also critically appraised, with reference to open science literature. Here, it is proposed that encouraging pre-registration of undergraduate dissertation work may alleviate some pedagogic challenges, such as statistics anxiety, questionable research practices, and research clarity and structure. Perceived barriers, such as time and resource constraints, are also discussed.

Advocating for Transgender and Non-Binary Affirmative Spaces in Graduate Education
Authors: Knutson Douglas , Matsuno Em , Goldbach Chloe , Hashtpari Halleh , Smith Nathan Grant
Published: February 2020

Nearly 50% of graduate students report experiencing emotional or psychological distress during their enrollment in graduate school. Levels of distress are particularly high for transgender and non-binary graduate students who experience daily discrimination and marginalization. Universities and colleges have yet to address and accommodate the needs and experiences of transgender and non-binary graduate students. Given the multitude of challenges these students may face, educational settings should not present additional barriers to educational success and well-being. In an effort to improve graduate education for transgender and non-binary students, we add to the existing scholarship on affirming work with transgender undergraduate students by addressing the unique concerns of graduate students. We utilize a social-ecological model to identify sources of discrimination in post-secondary education and to provide transgender- and non-binary-affirming recommendations at structural, interpersonal, and individual levels. For practitioners who wish to do personal work, we provide guidance for multicultural identity exploration. A table of recommendations and discussion of ways to implement our recommendations are provided.

United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals 4 Quality Education has highlighted major challenges for all nations to ensure inclusive and equitable quality access to education, facilities for children, and young adults. The SDG4 is even more important for developing nations as receiving proper education or vocational training, especially in science and technology, means a foundational step in improving other aspects of their citizens’ lives. However, the extant scientific literature about STEM education still lacks focus on developing countries, even more so in the rural area. Using a dataset of 4967 observations of junior high school students from a rural area in a transition economy, the article employs the Bayesian approach to identify the interaction between gender, socioeconomic status, and students’ STEM academic achievements. The results report gender has little association with STEM academic achievements; however, female students (αa_Sex[2] = 2.83) appear to have achieved better results than their male counterparts (αa_Sex[1] = 2.68). Families with better economic status, parents with a high level of education (βb(EduMot) = 0.07), or non-manual jobs (αa_SexPJ[4] = 3.25) are found to be correlated with better study results. On the contrary, students with zero (βb(OnlyChi) = -0.14) or more than two siblings (βb(NumberofChi) = -0.01) are correlated with lower study results compared to those with only one sibling. These results imply the importance of providing women with opportunities for better education. Policymakers should also consider maintaining family size so the parents can provide their resources to each child equally.
DINAMIKA PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DI THAILAND PADA ABAD 19-20
Authors: Aslan Aslan , Hifza Hifza , Suhardi Muhammad
Published: February 2020

Thailand has two different parts of the region ranging from ethnics, culture, national and religion. However, due to religious differences, the trade route, which was a more profitable trading route in Southern Thailand, inhabited by Malay Patani, made the Siamese Kingdom want the area. The desires of the Siamese Kingdom were successful. So Patani Malay became part of the Thai Kingdom and its government system followed the policies adopted by the Thais, including in terms of Islamic education in Patani. Since then, conflicts began to occur as the policies adopted by the Thais were considered unsuitable for the Patani Malay in many various ways including forming an Islamic organization. As a result, the Patani could become independent without being under Thai auspices. However, these efforts and strategies have also not been successful, but only to negotiate so that conflicts can continue to be overcome both through cooperation with other Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Europe countries.
TOLERANCE LIMITATION IN FACING RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY BASED ON THE TEACHING OF ISLAM
Authors: Islam Muhammad Hifdil
Published: February 2020

Diversity becomes a necessity in the continuity of human life both from a group to a nation. However, lack of understanding among difference people can be an obstacle that will lead to conflict in public life. In contrast, diversity can become benefits factor in the life of society. And Religion is part of diversity that can become source of conflict between people. Islam as the religion of rahmatan lil'alamin (blessing for the whole universe), from the beginning despite having affirmed that the true religion is Islam, but in principle and social life, Islam recognizes religious entities, other religions and allow their followers to perform and practice their own worship. This paper explains how Islam gives a great respect for religious diversity and teaches the follower to be tolerant to other religion. In this paper, also explained how Al-Qur’an as main source of teaching in Islam gives the description of tolerance in religious diversity and it is supported by the argument of some of scholar of Islam. This paper reminds us that religious appreciation and practice does not stop at the stage of “I” exclusiveness claims that lead to a personal relationship with God, nor at “YOU” inclusiveness stage that mix the teaching all of religion but at the openness of “WE”, where religious appreciation of human values is emphasized (humanist and tolerance) without mix the religious sacredness .

Published: February 2020

In everyday life, we often encounter children with diverse characters. There are children who are easy to foster and some who are difficult to foster, some are keen to learn and some are very lazy to learn, some of them learn to progress and some of them learn just to avoid punishment. Actually the bad qualities that arise in the children above are not born and their nature. These traits arise due to the lack of early warnings from parents and educators. So it is a big mistake if we underestimate the small mistakes made by children. In fact, there are no educators who want punishment to be used in education unless forced to. Gifts or compliments are far more important than punishment. In the world of education, this method is called the reward and punishment methods. With this method, it is hoped that students can be motivated to do progressive deeds. This study aims to describe and analyze teacher perceptions about reward and punishment and its implementation in learning in MAN 2 Medan Model.
ЗАЩИТА ФОТОСИНТЕТИЧЕСКИХ ПИГМЕНТОВ ЭКСТРАКТАМИ FOLIA SALVIA OFFICINALIS И RADIX GLYCYRRHIZAE ПРИ СТРЕССЕ ИОНАМИ МЕДИ
Authors: Дадашева С.Б.
Published: February 2020

Проведены сравнительные исследования состояния фотосинтетических пигментов в листьях 7 дневных проростков пшеницы (Triticum aestivum L.), подвергнутых в течение 24, 48, 72 часов действию токсических ионов Cu2+ (10-3М). Полученные результаты показали, что при всех рН среды и временных экспозициях более устойчивым к действию ионов меди был хлорофилл b (Хл b). Экстракты полученные из корней солодки (Radix glycyrrhizae), листьев шалфея (Folia Salvia officinalis) были использованы для определения их протекторных свойств при данном стрессе. 

Было определено, что действие экстракта шалфея через 24 часа при рН 4,5 среде повышало содержание Хл а на 51%, а при рН 6,8 на 35% относительно стресса. Через 48 часов экспозиции при рН 4,5 можно выделить действие экстракта солодки. Наблюдалось увеличение содержания Хл b на 75%, а Хл а на 70%. При рН 6,8 экстракты как шалфея, так и солодка восстанавливали поглощающую способность обоих пигментов. Через 72 часа экспозиции эффект экстрактов был незначительный. Можно предположить, что исследуемые экстракты обладают антиокислительными (АО) свойствами и способны тушить реактивные формы кислорода (РФК) образующиеся при действии тяжелого металла (ТМ).
CHALLENGES BEFORE THE MANAGEMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES IN THE HEALTH ORGANIZATION
Authors: Radeva Svetlana
Published: February 2020

Human resources and their management in an organization is extremely complex, depending on the constantly changing environmental factors, which makes management extremely unpredictable and unsustainable. The organization, such as the hospital, faces a lot of psycho-social characteristics of both the workers in it and the external partners of the organization. The management of the personnel requires a number of activities aimed at attracting, training and development of employees, conducting a flexible policy depending on the requirements of the environment, regulations and continuous technological development. The staff management activities concern: job creation and positions, interviews, drafting of employment contracts and job descriptions, payroll calculation, commissioning, training organization For employees. The monitoring of human resources management demonstrates the need to delegate a number of activities both at the operational level and at the leadership level, to activities requiring swift and responsible decision-making in the health Organisation. The speed of decisionmaking requires the coordination of different levels, leading to the knowledge, skills and ability to predict the outcome, as often in medical care the results are indicative over time. Often in the healing structures requires teamwork, to take complex decisions, on which human lives depend. This requires the assumption of a number of responsibilities, organisational skills and knowledge in carrying out specific activities. Regardless of the different competencies of the staff it is necessary to develop their skills, to conduct continuous training, to build empathy with the hospital organization.

Published: February 2020

Introduction: Acinetobacter species are short, stout, gram-negative coccobacilli, generally considered to be a relatively low-grade pathogen. However, its resistance towards multiple classes of antibiotics through an array of resistance mechanisms including its ability to form biofilm has led to its emergence as an important pathogen in hospital settings. This study was done to determine the prevalence of biofilm former and Extended-spectrum Beta-Lactamase producer among Acinetobacter species.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done in the clinical microbiology laboratory, Kathmandu Medical College from January to June 2019. Convenient sampling method was used. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee, Ref no. 2812201805. Preliminary identification followed by characterization of Acinetobacter species was done. Antibiotic susceptibility test was done using the Kirby-Bauer method following Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. Extended-spectrum Beta-Lactamase was detected by combined disc method and Biofilm detection was done using congo red agar method. Statistical Package for Social Sciences 16.0 version statistical software package was used for statistical analysis. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequencyand proportion for binarydata.

Results: Among 108 Acinetobacter species, 86 (79.7%) Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-A. baumannii complex was seen. Seventy-eight (72%) of the isolates were multidrug-resistant, 34 (31%) of the isolates were Extended-spectrum Beta-Lactamase producer and only 10 (9.3%) of the isolates, were biofilm producers.

The impact of credits to the private sector and FDI on the economic growth in ASEAN
Authors: Van Cuong Dang
Published: February 2020

The paper examines the impact of credits to private sector and foreign direct investment (FDI) flows on the economic growth of ASEAN countries in the period 1995-2017. The paper also validates the capital spread of FDI inflows to economic growth through credits to private sector. Using fixed effect estimation method (FEM), random effect (REM) and generalized least square (GLS) for panel data, we found that FDI inflows are positvely correlated with the economic growth of the ASEAN countries. This once again confirms the role of FDI in promoting the economic growth as evidenced in previous studies. Meanwhile, credits to private sector exert a negative impact on the economic growth in these countries which is an interesting finding given that few studies yield a similar result. To assess the spillover effect of FDI to growth through credits to private sector, we augment our model with a variable that reflects the interaction between credits to private sector and FDI. This variable is negative and statistically significant, suggesting that FDI is yet to show its positive impact on growth through spreading capital to credits to privatte sector.

Authors: Lesmana Hendy
Published: February 2020

Suction is a routine action performed by nurses who work in a critical care setting. every patient who has decreased consciousness and installed a definitive air way will always get a suction action that is useful for keeping the airway free of mucus so that airway patency is maintained. The purpose of this literature review is to identify and summarize the results of research and books on factors that influence the effectiveness of suction. This study is a literature review that tries to find and explore more information about the effectiveness of suction. The method used in this literature review begins with topic selection, keyword determination to search journals through the Google Scholar, Ebscho, and Pro Quest databases. The articles used were 16 articles and 7 books. Literature search results obtained namely; factors affecting the effectiveness of suction are; assessment before performing suction, pre hyperoxygenation measures, effective suction pressure regulation, suction canule size must pay attention to the ETT diameter / size, suction action time 10-15 seconds for adults and 5 seconds for infants and children, suction techniques and must consider volume and mucus viscosity. The conclusion in conducting effective suction, nurses must pay attention to these 7 factors rather in the implementation of suction actions to be more effective and avoid unwanted side effects.

In total, 201 short messages were addressed at the 2019 ERS Congress of Phthisiology, including 7 abstracts (3.5 %) owned by Ukrainian scientists.

Conclusions. Ukrainian phthisiologists actively participated in the work of the Congress ERS 2019. Topics presented by national scientists reports (epidemiology, treatment of tuberculosis with drug resistance, including patients with HIV infection, predicting the effectiveness of treatment, prevention of adverse events and concomitant to tuberculosis disorders) meets the global challenges of tuberculosis in the world.
Design of Active Fractional PID Controller Based on Whale's Optimization Algorithm for Stabilizing a Quarter Vehicle Suspension System
Authors: Karam Zeyad Abdulwahid , Awad Osama A.
Published: February 2020

Improving the dynamic performance of an automobile suspension system is considered as the main demand for comfortable and safe passenger travelling. From all previously proposed and implemented works, it is noticed that there are other factors that need to be considered to raising the car holding and stability in the road for improved passenger comfort when travelling. The minimization of car body displacement and oscillation time after exposure to road disturbances have been adopted in this work due to their contribution in raising the car holding and stability. The improvement in these features was maintained via a robust control methodology. The Fractional Order PID controller tuned by the Whales Optimization Algorithm (WOA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is suggested in this work as a robust controller to reduce the effect of these demerits. In this paper, an active quarter car suspension nonlinear system is designed for the presented goals using a robust controller. Minimizing the displacement of the car body and reducing the damping frequency are achieved via a nonlinear control strategy using the fractional order PID controller, which can maintain the required characteristics. Tuning the parameters of the FOPID controller is performed by using the Whales Optimization Algorithm (WOA). Robustness of the FOPID controller is examined and proved to withstand a system parameter variation of ±12 % in all system parameters and a maximum of ±80 % in controller parameter variation. Simulation outcomes also indicate a considerably improved performance of the active suspension system with the fractional order PID controller over the traditional PID.

Authors: Alate KKA , Mawussi G , Ayisah KD , Sanda K
Published: February 2020

Using composting technology, the biodegradable fraction of solid wastes collected from Agbalepedogan district in Lomé (Togo) was transformed into composts with no phytotoxicity suitable for use in agriculture. The household urban solid wastes were mixed with poultry manure and Mucuna pruriens leaves in appropriate percentages and transformed into composts. The composting process was monitored by temperature, pH and C/N ratio controlling. The composts quality was appreciated by phytotoxicity test, particle size distribution, contents of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, organic matter and trace elements. The results showed that composts particle size distribution presented four fractions (>10 mm, 5-10 mm, 2-5 mm and ≤2 mm) whose average percentages are respectively 9.04±0.2%; 10.71±0.2%; 12.68±0.4% and 67.53±0.6%, respectively.

Published: February 2020

The study examined the adoption of soybean products among women in Onitsha North Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria. Specifically, it described the socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents, identified the type of soybean products available in the area, determined the source of information of the soybean products, ascertained the level of adoption of soybean products and identified the major constraints to the adoption of soybean products in the area. Purposive and simple random methods were used to select 50 respondents. Data were collected using structured questionnaire and personal interview and analyzed using descriptive statistics such as percentage, frequency distribution and mean scores. Findings show that 91.0% of the respondents were within the age range of 30-49 years, while the mean age of the farmers was 45.43 years. Extension agents (90.0%) and friends/relatives (80.0%) were the major source of information. Based on the level of adoption of soybean products, the farmers’ adopted only five soybean products, which included soymilk, soybean cake, soybean oil, soybean nut and soy flour. The major constraints against adoption of soybean product were poor extension service to assist farmers (x=3.7), lack of awareness of the soybean products (x=3.3) and lack of capital (x=3.3). In line with the findings, the study therefore recommends that extension agent needs to re-package and dynamically disseminate information, educate and re-educate farmers on several health benefit of soybean use in order to upgrade farmers’ awareness and subsequently their adoption.

Історія українського права: поняттєва, історіографічна та компаративістична складові її ідентифікації
Authors: ЗАХАРЧЕНКО ПЕТРО
Published: February 2020

Проаналізовано підходи істориків права до категорії “історія українського права”, пропонується її авторське визначення та періодизація в історичному вимірі. Наголошено на прикладах у відмінностях в еволюції, сутності та змісті українського права від російського. Визначено доктринальний підхід кафедри історії права та держави юридичного факультету Київського національного університету імені Тараса Шевченка, що полягає у визнанні первинності права перед інститутом держави. На думку автора, з появою держави історія права постає як історія національного законодавства в його взаємозв’язку і взаємозалежності з регулюючою діяльністю держави – її адміністративними і судовими установами, організацією та діяльністю армії, поліції, каральними і тюремними установами тощо. Історія свідчить про те, що суспільство може стабільно розвиватися у координатах замиреного середовища, а функцію інструмента замиреного середовища виконує право.
Стверджується, що вперше визначення поняття “історія українського права” здійснено не в Україні, а поза її межами. Плеяда юристів, а серед них й історики права, після поразки Української революції 1917–1921 рр. змушені були покинути Батьківщину й оселитися у сусідніх країнах Східної Європи. Підручник із такою назвою з’явився в умовах української еміграції на початку 1920-х років. Першість у цьому належить кільком дослідникам української діаспори, які, проте, не мали жодних історичних, історико-правових джерел та архівних матеріалів, адже в абсо лютній більшості вони збереглися в бібліотеках та архівних фондах Радянської України. Однак і в цих умовах вчені змогли закласти підвалини для становлення відповідної галузі наукових знань.
Зазначається, що спадкоємицею збережених у діаспорі традицій можна назвати кафедру історії права та держави юридичного факультету Київського університету імені Тараса Шевченка, члени якої впродовж багатьох років обстоюють не лише назву навчального предмета “Історія українського права”, а й доводять його генетичний зв’язок із правом Руської держави, інших національних державних утворень пізнішого періоду. З-під пера викладачів кафедри вийшло декілька посібників з історії українського права. Особливий наголос зроблено на творчості О. Шевченка, який став автором кількох підручників і навчальних посібників, що й досі широко використовуються у навчальному процесі юридичних факультетів України. В одному з них учений актуалізував проблему періодизації українського права, де головним критерієм визначив еволюцію джерел права. На цих позиціях стоїть і автор статті.

Authors: Ezeala Christian Chinyere
Published: February 2020

Purpose: This study was conducted to determine whether a computer simulation of practical exercises in undergraduate medical pharmacology led to the realization of the intended learning outcomes.Methods: The study was a descriptive analysis of laboratory classes carried out using computer simulation programs. Five programs were used to teach practical pharmacology to undergraduate medical students at the Mulungushi University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. The study period was January 2018 to December 2019. The computer programs included a pharmacokinetics simulator (CyberPatient), organ bath simulator (OBSim), AutonomiCAL for simulating autonomic pharmacology, and Virtual Cat and Virtual Rat (RatCVS) for simulating cardiovascular pharmacology. Students utilized these programs during their pharmacology laboratory classes, wrote reports, and answered relevant clinical questions.Results: The 5 programs provided easy and precise platforms for students to explore concepts and demonstrate knowledge of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, autonomic and cardiovascular pharmacology, and their clinical applications.Conclusion: The programs were effective learning tools. Students’ learning was easily assessed based on their laboratory reports. Although the computer programs met medical students’ learning needs, wet laboratory exercises are also needed to meet the needs of students who require practical laboratory skills.

Most farrowing facilities in the United States use stalls and heat lamps to improve sow and piglet productivity. This study investigated these factors by comparing production outcomes for three different farrowing stall layouts (traditional, expanded creep area, expanded sow area) and use of one or two heat lamps. Data were collected on 427 sows and their litters over one year. Results showed no statistical differences due to experimental treatment for any of the production metrics recorded, excluding percent stillborn. Parity one sows had fewer piglets born alive (p < 0.001), lower percent mortality (p = 0.001) and over-lay (p = 0.003), and a greater number of piglets weaned (p < 0.001) with lower average daily weight gain (ADG) (p < 0.001) and more uniform litters (p = 0.001) as compared to higher parity sows. Farrowing turn, associated with group/seasonal changes, had a significant impact on most of the production metrics measured. Number of piglets born influenced the percent stillborn (p < 0.001). Adjusted litter size had a significant impact on percent mortality (p < 0.001), percent over-lay (p < 0.001), and number of piglets weaned (p < 0.001). As the number of piglets weaned per litter increased, both piglet ADG and litter uniformity decreased (p < 0.001). This information can be used to guide producers in farrowing facility design.
