Authors: Sarasati Fitri
Published: April 2020

Halal has currently become lifestyle and trend that spread out in the community. Realizing the new tendency, NetTV as one of the media industries in Indonesia presents a program called Halal Living. The program contains information about travel, halal culinary, fashion hijab, health and beauty closely related to the life of Muslim women. An impression is expected to spread a positive and acceptable message by the public. According to the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) theory, humans will produce certain behaviors if there is a certain stimulus; thus, the effect is a reaction to the stimulus. Stimulus in this research is the message delivered in program; the organism an informant who is a Muslim millennial; while the response awareness of halal lifestyle. In this research, halal living impressions will be seen from knowledge, attitude, and motivation of the informant. Informant's knowledge concerns the informant’s understanding about the impressions and messages presented. Informant’s attitudes deal with likes or dislikes regarding the impressions and messages presented. Motivation of informant concerns the desire of informants to apply the message or information delivered throughout the program. This study aimed to analyze the role of halal living show on Muslim millennial in applying halal life. It used qualitative descriptive approach. The data were collected using observation and semi-structured interview with Muslim millennial born in 1980-1995. The results reveal that Muslim millennial are interested in watching halal living program because the values it contains is well-packaged; the host is the hijaber, who is an Indonesian Muslim influencer; and messages it delivers are applicable and effective.

Published: April 2020

Wisata halal  yang umum dikenal selama ini adalah wisata syariah atau wisata religi. Pengertiannya tentu tidak selalu berwisata ke lokasi-lokasi religius seperti makam-makam Walisongo seperti yang selama ini banyak dilakukan orang. Jika wisata religi lebih mengedepankan aspek lokasi atau objek dan sejarah tempat wisata, maka wisata halal lebih mengedepankan aspek pelaku atau wisatawannya. Istilah wisata halal tidak hanya soal berkunjung ke lokasi religius, namun juga ke lokasi-lokasi umum dengan tetap menjaga adab sebagai Muslim dan memberikan fasilitas serta kemudahan bagi para wisatawan Muslim. Sesuai uraian tersebut maka aspek kesantunan tindak tutur sebagai salah satu indikator wisata halal dari aspek kemudahan komunikasi. Bagian tidak terpisahkan lainnya dari wisata halal ini adalah para pemandu wisata yang juga harus menyesuaikan diri dengan para wisatawan Muslim. Dalam komunikasi, kesantunan merupakan aspek penting dalam kehidupan untuk menciptakan komunikasi yang baik di antara pemandu wisata dan wisatawan. Misalnya dengan menjaga adab berkomuniasi, menggunakan pakaian yang sopan sesuai standar Muslim serta tidak lupa mengingatkan waktu beribadah tepat waktu kepada para wisatawan dengan bahasa yang santun. Bentuk kesantunan tindak tutur ini banyak kita temukan dalam sembilan fungsi tindak tutur saat memberikan layanan sebagaimana hasil penelitian yang dilakukan tentang penggunaan kesantunan tindak tutur direktif di kalangan Jamaah Tablig dalam berdakwah, yaitu: (1) fungsi tindak tutur untuk menyatakan ajakan, (2) suruhan, (3) peringatan, (4) seruan, (5) imbauan, (6) persilaan, (7) anjuran, (8) harapan, dan (9) larangan. Pemakaian kesantunan tindak tutur dalam memberikan layanan prima terhadap  para wisatawan dapat diklasifikasikan menjadi dua, yaitu strategi kesantunan positif dan strategi kesantunan negatif. Kedua strategi kesantunan tersebut dapat menjadi indikator wisata halal dari aspek kemudahan komunikasi dengan menjaga adab berkomunikasi dan menciptakan situasi yang nyaman dengan lingkungan yang santun dari masyarakat sekitarnya.

This research aims to develop Computer-Based Test (CBT) by using hot potatoes software, which is believed to be able to improve students’ achievement. Formative and summative questions were previously given using paper only, making the questions presented less interactive, resulting in low achievement of the students. This new procedure was adapted from ADDIE Model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The development of the model results in the creation of a package called Computer based Test-English Computer (CBT-EC) that contains 9 sub-packages, divided into two divisions. The first division is composed of 8 packages that contain formative tests, where as the second division consists of 1 package of summative tests. Data of this research were collected using tests and questionnaires. The test instrument used multiple choices with formative form consists of 15 questions from each chapter, while summative form consists of 120 questions. Students’ responses were measured by distributing the questionnaires about the usage of CBT-EC product to 10 students. The questionnaires were given to the media expert and material expert to assess their feasibility. The results showed that the expert of material gave 79 out of 84 maximum point, or almost excellent, meaning that the questionnaires developed as the product of CBT-EC are worth implemented. Meanwhile, the assessment of the media expert gave a score of 63 out of 68 maximum points classified as good, meaning that the CBT-EC product is feasible to be implemented. Based on learning result from the formative and summative test, there was an increase of the students' achievement. In formative test, the students got the average score of 69%, whereas in summative test they recorded average score of 79%. In conclusion, CBT-EC product could increase students’ achievement.
Diction and Social Status in Sasak Language
Authors: Atika Istikhorini
Published: April 2020

This paper aims to discuss varied dictions that emerge towards different social status in Sasak community. By using purposive sampling technique, several Sasak speakers who have diverge social status in community were taken as the sample. Data of this study were gathered through ethnographic observations and interviews, and then analyzed using ethnography of communication and analysis of interaction. The research finding showed the mostly found diction forms of Sasak language are pronominal persona marking. Sasak speakers tend to use high Sasak (base alus) when speaking with someone who has honorific title such as menak or hajj. However, if the relationship is intimate, the Sasak diction will be switched into plain Sasak (Sasak jamaq) even to those having honorific title. The intimate relation among family can break the use of high Sasak (base alus), especially for hajj, but it rarely happens among close friendship. Conversely, the high Sasak (base alus) or vernacular Sasakized Indonesian is used in order to save face in the interactions among stranger.

Published: April 2020

The term halal roots from Islamic faith based on the teaching of Quran and Sunnah. This concept has recently been embraced in the management of tourism worldwide, including one in Indonesia province of West Nusa Tenggara. Halal brand attached to food products provided at tourist destinations tend to be seen from the aspect of ingredients while neglecting the aspect of processing. In fact, both aspects are inseparable in determining whether or not a product is halal according to Islamic law or sharia. This paper aims to explore processing standard of halal food at tourist destinations in West Nusa Tenggara and compare the processing with that of Islamic sharia. Comparative method was used to compare the standardization of halal food available at tourist destinations and the standardization based on sharia. The findings indicate that practice of halal tourism in West Nusa Tenggara increases evidenced in the increase of Moslem travelers visiting this province. However, the processing of food and beverages need to improve in order to comply with sharia standard as there are a number of hotels and restaurants in the region that have yet to receive a halal certificate from the authority, in this case the Indonesian Board of Islamic Scholars (MUI).

Published: April 2020

This study aims to construct the idea or thought regarding the importance of introducing halal and good food through early childhood education. Little children, including those of Muslims, generally do not have adequate knowledge about halal and good food according to Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh Islam). Children’s pattern of consumption, types of food they eat, and the ingredients of food cooked for them are generally determined by their parents or influenced by their social and cultural environments. By means of early childhood education, the knowledge of halal and good food is introduced earlier to the children in gradual steps in line with their age and developmental phases. Through constructivist-interpretive approach, this study is intended to analyze the importance of introducing, disseminating, and internalizing the knowledge, attitude, and skill about halal and good food to the children. The study also provides the children with graded lessons to identify halal and good food. The ultimate end the analysis is expected to yield integrated lessons on halal and good food within the curriculum of early childhood education.

Determining the quantity of access tubes for quality control of bored pile concrete based on probability approach
Authors: Duong Bach
Published: April 2020

Unexpected defects of concrete in a completed bored pile can arise during the construction stage. Therefore, post-construction testing of bored pile concrete is an important part of the design and construction process. The Cross-hole Sonic Logging (CSL) method has been the most widely used to examine the concrete quality. This method requires some access tubes pre-installed inside bored piles prior to concreting; the required quantity of access tubes has been pointed out in few literatures and also ruled in the national standard of Vietnam (TCVN 9395:2012). However, theoretical bases aiming to decide the required quantity of access tubes have not been given yet. A probability approach is proposed in this paper aiming to determine the essential quantity of access tubes, which depend not only on pile diameters, magnitude of defects, but also on the technical characteristics of CSL equipment.

Keywords:

access tubes; bored piles; CSL method; defects; inspection probability.

Authors: Tan Nguyen Ngoc , Hiep Dang Vu
Published: April 2020

Corrosion rate is one of the most important input parameters in corrosion-induced damage prediction models as well as in calculation of service-life for reinforced concrete structures. In most cases, instantaneous measurements or constant corrosion rate values used in damage prediction models is irrelevant. The new factors appearing such as corrosion-induced cover cracking, concrete quality to change the corrosion rate should be taken into consideration. This study shows several empirical models to predict the corrosion rate and their limits of application. The predicted values of steel corrosion rate using four empirical models are compared with the measured values of a series of 55 experimental samples collected from the literature. The results show that the empirical models overestimated the experimental corrosion rate. Using model proposed by Liu and Weyers provided the best agreement with the experimental data.

Effect of confining pressure on shear resistance of ultra-high-performance fiber reinforced concrete
Authors: Thuong Ngo Tri
Published: April 2020

Effect of confining pressure on the shear resistance of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRCs), containing 1.5% volume content (1.5 vol.-%) of short smooth steel fiber (SS, l = 13, d = 0.2 mm) and long smooth steel fiber (LS, l = 30, d = 0.3 mm), was investigated using a new shear test method. Three levels of confining pressure were generated and maintained to the longitudinal axis of the specimen prior shear loading was applied. The test results exhibited that the shear strength of UHPFRCs was obviously sensitive to the confining pressure: the higher confining pressure produced higher shear strength. UHPFRC reinforced with 1.5 vol.-% long smooth steel fiber exhibited higher shear resistance than those reinforced with short smooth steel fiber, regardless of confining pressure levels. The confined shear strength could be expressed as an empirical function of unconfined shear strength, confining pressure, and tensile strength of UHPFRCs.

Keywords:

UHPFRCs, shear resistance; confining pressure effect; smooth fiber.
Second gradient substitution model for high contrast bi-phase structure
Authors: Khanh Trinh Duy
Published: April 2020

Lightweight structures with soft inclusion material, such as hollow core slabs, foam sandwich wall, pervious pavement ... are widely used in construction engineering for sustainable goals. Voids and soft inclusion can be modeled as a very soft material, while the main material is modeled with its original rigidity, which is so much higher than inclusion's one. In consequence, highly contrast bi-phase structure attracts the interests of scientists and engineers. One important demand is how to build a homogeneous equivalent model to replace the multi-phase structure which requires much resources and time to perform structure analysis. Various homogenization schemes have succeeded in establishing a homogeneous substitution model for composite materials which fulfill the scale separation condition (characteristic length of heterogeneity is very small in comparison to structure dimensions). Herein, elastic stiffness matrix of a homogeneous model which replaces a bi-phase material is computed by a higher-order homogenization scheme. A non-homogeneous boundary condition (a polynomial inspired from Taylor series expansion) is used in computation. Homogeneous substitution model constructed from this computation process, can give engineers a fast and effective tool to predict the behavior of bi-phase structure. Instead of a classical Cauchy continuum, second gradient model is selected as a potential candidate for substituting the composite material behavior because of the separation scale (volume ratio of inclusion to matrix phase reaches unit).

Keywords:

generalized continuum; second-gradient medium; higher-order homogenization; non-homogeneous boundary conditions; representative volume element.

Published: April 2020

The article describes the transition concept from addressable fiber Bragg structures and microwave-photonics sensor systems based on them to multicast fiber Bragg structures. The difference between multicast structures and address structures is that in the fiber Bragg structure formes three or more super narrow-band frequency components, spaced from each other by the microwave frequency. The central frequencies shift of multicast Bragg structures is determined by the result of processing the signal of optical frequencies beats at the photodetector, which parameters judge the applied physical fields. We see the solved problem of uniquely determining the central (Bragg) frequency shift of the multicast fiber Bragg structure, with a unique set of address frequencies.

Published: April 2020

The use of water with a modified isotopic composition in the diet of humans and animals, for example, with a reduced deuterium content, affects the rate of biological processes. In this regard, the targeted formation of the isotopic D / H gradient in the body can be used to increase its adaptive properties to external influences. Primates have a high anatomical and physiological similarity with humans, therefore, are an indispensable model for reproducing various pathological and toxic conditions in humans. The aim of the study was to study the effect of water with a low deuterium content on the hematological and biochemical blood parameters of rhesus monkeys and on the digestibility of nutrients of the diet. In the control group, primates consumed water with a natural regional content of deuterium equal to 150 mg / l, and in the experimental group - with reduced to 50 mg/l. The duration of the experiment was 35 days. The material for the study was venous blood, serum and feces of primates. Blood was drawn from monkeys before the use of deuterium depleted water and after the completion of the experiment. All blood samples (2.5-3.0 ml) were taken from the cubital or femoral veins of animals on an empty stomach and stabilized with a heparin solution. Laboratory studies of animal blood were performed on an automatic hematological analyzer (Beckman Coulter, USA) of the CoulterAcT 5diffCP brand. In order to study the effect of water with a reduced deuterium content on hematological parameters, we determined the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, the average volume of red blood cells, red blood cell anisocytosis, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).
The metabolism trial was divided into two periods. Preliminary - to exclude the influence of previous feeding and accustoming primates to cage conditions of keeping. Experimental - conducting a thorough accounting of consumed feed, excreted excrement. Feces were collected daily at the same time (morning and evening), weighed and ground in a mortar. At each collection, 50% of the homogenized mass was taken for analysis. The collected portions were stored in the refrigerator. After the end of the experimental (accounting) period in the collected feces, the initial moisture was determined by drying at 60-70 ℃ to constant weight. The resulting air-dry mass was thoroughly ground and analyzed.
It has been found that the introduction of water with a reduced deuterium content into the diet of primates has a positive effect on feed conversion rate and blood biochemical parameters.

The paper presents the results of the influence of enzyme (ferment) preparations in various combinations on the dynamics of growth and development and slaughter qualities of ducklings. The scientific and economic experience was conducted in the Chuvash Republic. For carrying out experiments 3 groups of ducklings on 50 heads in everyone were selected and formed. Ducklings of the 1st experimental group received enzyme preparations amylosubtilin in the amount of 0.05 kg/t and protosubtilin in the amount of 0.05 kg/t during the entire period of growing together with feed. Ducklings for the 2nd experimental group of compound feed were enriched with enzyme preparations amylosubtilin in the amount of 0.1 kg/t and celloviridin in the amount of 0.075 kg/t.
It was found that ducklings receiving enzyme preparations in addition to feed had increased growth energy throughout the experiment. By the end of the experiment, the live weight of ducks of the control group was 3,424 kg, the first experimental group receiving in addition to the feed enzyme preparations amylosubtilin in an amount of 0.05 kg/t and protosubtilin in the amount of 0.05 kg/t – 3,712 lbs. In the second experimental group, where the ducks advanced to the feed received enzyme preparations amylosubtilin in the amount of 0.1 kg/t and celloviridin in the amount of 0.075 kg/t, live weight to the end of the experiment amounted to 3,804 kg.
The average daily live weight gain of animals in the control group was 53.52 g, and in the first experimental group - 58,10 g, in the second one - 59,56 g. The inclusion of a mixture of enzyme preparations with a compound feed of the experimental animals have contributed to the increase in body length compared to the control on average by 0.9 cm and 1.6 cm, length of tarsus by 2.5 cm and 4.3 cm, chest girth by 1.8 cm and 2.5 cm, respectively. The increased productivity of ducklings in growth was reflected in the reduction of feed costs and unit costs, which contributed to multiplying profits in the experimental groups.

How mindfulness impacts the positive forms of leadership and enhances performance at workplace
Authors: Konte Aboubacar Garba , Xiaohui Li
Published: April 2020

BACKGROUND: Mindfulness is a multi-millenary concept that is fundamental to meditative traditions. Nowadays it is a well-documented psychological construct and a proven therapeutic technique, particularly in stress reduction and depressive relapse prevention. However, mindfulness and its effects on management practices are still relatively unexplored in the literature. OBJECTIVES: This paper aims to address this shortage and demonstrate the claims that mindfulness is a psychological construct that is doubly beneficial to business executives by supporting a more balanced relationship to work while promoting the adoption of more positive and effective leadership behaviors (transformational leadership and authentic). METHOD: A model using positive forms of leadership as mediators of mindfulness / performance relationship is proposed for this assessment. A quantitate analysis is performed on a sample of 319 African managers, 95% of which are South Africans. RESULTS: The data supports the idea that mindfulness is a resource that can be mobilized for inducing transformational and authentic leadership development and positive organizational behaviors. CONCLUSION: Mindfulness seems to be a very interesting predictor of transformational and authentic leadership styles, which prove to be the most powerful generators of performance

Authors: Grimaldi Serena , Attanasio Barbara , La Corte Aurelio
Published: April 2020

BACKGROUND: The new generation networks (5G and beyond) will allow us to collect and process real-time information about a user and his context. Analyzing the adolescents’ behaviour and taking into account relations between their psychological frailty and socio-cultural context, it is possible to highlight situations of vulnerability. OBJECTIVE: It is crucial to shed light on how the nature of social relationships and the similarity among individuals play a role in the collective dynamics. METHODS: To understand these dynamics, Evolutionary Game Theory and the analysis of social networks, modeled as multiplex networks, are useful. RESULTS: Thanks to a simulative approach we evaluate the emergence and maintenance of cooperation within a class, assessing the role of social network structure and of the homophily on the dynamics. CONCLUSION: Exploiting these tools it is possible to design innovative ICT context-aware services based on collective cooperation and aimed at improving social inclusion, education and support for frail people.

BACKGROUND:

The immune system significantly participates in the development of the successful delivery process. The roles played by cytokine molecules in the induction of term delivery are yet to be clarified. The aim of this project was to explore the serum levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10), IL-17A, and IL-23 in the mothers with term and prolonged pregnancy and their infants.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

In this study, 60 samples were collected from either mothers with term and prolonged pregnancy or their infants, collectively 240 samples. Serum levels of IL-10, IL-17A and IL-23 were explored using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique.

RESULTS:

IL-10 serum levels significantly decreased in the neonates with prolonged pregnancy when compared to their mothers. Serum levels of IL-23 were increased either in term or prolonged pregnancy neonates when compared to their corresponded mothers. Serum levels of IL-10 and IL-23 significantly decreased and increased, respectively, in the female in comparison to male in the prolonged pregnancy neonates. IL-10 also significantly decreased in the term mothers who had higher gravidity.

CONCLUSION:

Although, IL-17A does not play a key role in the delivery mechanism, IL-10 and IL-23 may be considered as potential factors in the modulation of term delivery.
La formación moral en las asignaturas universitarias de ciencias humanas y sociales
Authors: González Fabre, S.I. Raúl
Published: April 2020

La tradición educativa jesuita da gran importancia a la formación moral de los estudiantes. Esa formación no es sólo asunto afectivo y volitivo, sino también intelectual. Sin embargo, muchas de las teorías científicas que deben enseñarse en las carreras universitarias que nuestras universidades ofrecen, presentan una visión de la persona y la sociedad donde la dimensión moral es negada o relegada a la irrelevancia. Discutimos aquí esa contradicción y proponemos algunas ideas para superarla en la práctica educativa.
El desarrollo económico de paraguay: fracaso de su modelo de financiación
Authors: Fruet Cardozo Juan Vicente
Published: April 2020

Se analiza el resultado de las multimillonarias financiaciones del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo y del Banco Mundial, principalmente, para el desarrollo de Paraguay, deteniéndose en los sectores de carreteras, salud y saneamiento, educación y vivienda, en los que no se han logrado los objetivos previstos en los proyectos de las instituciones prestamistas. Se subraya que este fracaso se debe en primer lugar a los fallos de las organismos multilaterales prestamistas en el diseño, análisis y, sobre todo, a la inspección y vigilancia durante la ejecución y evaluación “ex post” de los proyectos, y en segundo lugar a la corrupción de las administraciones tanto del régimen autoritario como de las democráticas. Se exponen varias propuestas de mejora de esta realidad en el terreno de la negociación con los prestamistas, la transformación de instituciones públicas, renegociación del Tratado de Itaipú y desarrollo del mercado de capitales.

Una vez más, el encuentro anual del Grupo Fomento Social se celebró en la Casa de Espiri tualidad de las Esclavas del Sagrado Corazón, en Madrid (c/ General Martínez Campos), desde el viernes 23 de noviembre por la noche hasta el domingo 25 a mediodía. Los asistentes llegaron a 30, entre ellos varios laicos que trabajan en instituciones sociales de la Compañía de Jesús. También estuvo presente en todas las sesiones el Provincial de la Compañía de Jesús en España (P. Elías Royón) y el Director del Secretariado Social de la Compañía de Jesús en Roma (P. Fernando Franco). Se encargó de la preparación de la reunión y de su desarrollo el coordinador del Grupo, P. Rafael Yuste, profesor de Ética y de Filosofía en la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales (ETEA) de Córdoba.

En el encuentro del pasado año se formuló el tema para el de este año de una forma general como “Democracia, transparencia y corrupción”, y se subrayó el deseo de que se tratara con una perspectiva mundial. Por eso el ponente invitado para esta ocasión lo tituló “El problema mundial de la gobernanza”.

Innovación social: una realidad emergente en los procesos de desarrollo
Authors: Morales Gutiérrez Alfonso Carlos
Published: April 2020

El proceso innovador de carácter tec‑ nológico en las entidades económicas ha sido muy estudiado. Sin embargo la innovación en el ámbito social es un fenómeno de preocupación emergente. Los paradigmas de mercado (precio, coste, calidad,...) no sirven de forma inmediata para indagar en este tipo de innovaciones que se producen en la sociedad. Una innovación social se desarrolla de una manera peculiar, presenta unos orígenes específicos, tiene unos factores facilitadores y cata‑ lizadores propios y, por último, soporta unas barreras concretas. De la misma forma que las sociedades avanzadas se preocupan del I+D+i como elemento de competitividad a nivel económico y refuerzan este sistema de innovación con todos los agentes implicados, no existe el mismo nivel de inquietud para generar el sistema potenciador de las innovaciones sociales necesarias para paliar los problemas de los colectivos más necesitados: la denominada “base de la pirámide”. ¿Podría pensarse en la creación de “centros de innovación social”? ¿cuál sería la oficina de trans‑ ferencia de la investigación social a nivel universitario? Al igual que las patentes ¿cuáles serían los indicadores de innovaciones sociales derivadas de la investigación –referentes de prestigio universitario– que podrían utilizarse para medir los avances en estos ámbitos?

Humanitas: la persona en el centro del proceso de formación
Authors: Florensa Giménez Albert
Published: April 2020

una de los cuatro principios que caracteriza la educación superior de la Compañía de Jesús en el denominado “paradigma Ledesma–Kolvenbach” es la “humanitas”, la dimensión humanista. El P. Peter–Hans Kolvenbach, General de la Compañía de Jesús entre los años 1983 y 2008, sostiene que la formación universitaria debe contribuir a un crecimiento integral de la persona humana. En los centros universitarios de los jesuitas, antes que futuros científicos o profesionales de uno u otro terreno, formamos personas en toda su integridad. La formación técnica y científica nunca debe ir separada de esta formación integral, clave para entender la pedagogía de los centros superiores de la Compañía de Jesús. Aquí analizaremos el humanismo a cultivar en las universidades, en el contexto histórico presente. Estructuraremos nuestro estudio en cinco partes, siguiendo las cinco características de este humanismo (“humanitas”). Es un humanismo “desde la fe encarnada”, “que valora la razón”, “comprometido con todos los hombres”, “que conlleva una formación integral de la persona”, y “que promueve la libertad y la justicia”.
