The activity of the «Relief Society for Ukrainian Schooling Youth in the Camps of the Interned in Poland» (Kalish-Shchipiorno) autumn 1923 – spring 1924
Authors: Sribnyak Іhor
Published: February 2019

The article analyzes the activities of the Relief Society for Ukrainian School Youth in the Interns’ Camps in Poland, which has been created by a group of elders to assist the students of the Kalisz-Szczypіornо camps to the soldiers of the interned Army of the Ukrainian People’s Republic. Through the well-placed information action and perseverance of the members of the Society, a large part of Ukrainian immigrants responded to the call for help of school youth, Ukrainian public organizations, some of the Galician and Volynians.

It was also important that the Society not only had provided money and welfare assistance to students and lecturers of the camp schools, but also had invested in creating profitable organizations, thus obtaining additional finances, as well as creating jobs for the interned. The company used any opportunity to raise funds, arranging, in particular, «Days of School» in the camps with a lottery in its favor. The Honorary Members of the society, who dwelled in other European countries, partook in the fundraising. The activities of the Society have discontinued only with the abolition of the camps (August 1924), but by that time the former continued to provide welfare assistance to the needy Ukrainian soldiers in the camps, as well as to the children of the interned to the full exhaustion of his available means.

Creative achievements of the famous ukrainian philosopher D. Tchyzhevsky in the global context
Authors: Kovalchiuk Nataliya
Published: February 2019

The article regards the creative contribution of the famous Ukrainian philosopher D. Tchyzhevsky in the global context. He was the first scientist who separated Ukrainian philosophy as a special and unique link of the Ukrainian culture and so launched a beginning of the Ukrainian study as a new scientific branch. He was a founder of the Ukrainian baroque study through the phenomenon of “style”. Tchyzhevsky proposed a new methodology of the Ukrainian baroque research. According to this original conception of D. Tchyzevsky, baroque was a style of art that could have had its influence on the culture in general. He was the first to research the philosophical legacy of H. Skovoroda not only as a famous Ukrainian philosopher, but also as a philosopher of the European level. The philosopher created his own concept of the second human birth through the interior human, which, in its turn, was based on the H. Skovoroda’s idea of the interior human. The latter shows 4 stages of its cognition: first stage is a preparative one and presents in recognition that the interior human exists. Second stage is a tentative to know the interior human. Third stage is a struggle of the interior human with exterior human. The final, forth stage, is a blossom of the interior human which had the attributes of God. Through the research of the Ukrainian mentality, D. Tchyzhevsky has characterized the condocentrizm as a main feature. The main representatives of the “philosophy of heart” (H. Skovoroda, P. Kulish, P. Yurkevych, M. Gogol) had different interpretations of the phenomenon of the heart. The philosophy of heart as an archetype of the Ukrainian culture in its understanding is linked mainly with cordocentrizm in the philosophical anthropology context. It means that this concept should not be regarded as an autonomic view, but as a range of symbolical worldview.
The Adaptation of the Ukrainian Legislation to the European Norms in the Process of Accession to the Joint European Educational Space
Authors: Khan Evgen
Published: February 2019

The integration and the enhanced cooperation with Europe in the sphere of higher education have become and remained an important component of the European integrative intentions of Ukraine. For many years, our state has been an important strategic partner for Europe. Since gaining independence, the government of Ukraine has constantly declared the will to implement the European principles in all spheres of the social life. The sphere of education and science was no exception. Through many years in Ukraine, the process of reforming both the educational system as a whole and higher education system in particular is still in progress. These reforms continue in difficult times for our state. The authorities and the governments are changing, but all of them have been declaring “the European choice of Ukraine”. It is clear-cut that the process of reforms, transformations and innovations is complicated, often painful and is perceived ambiguously by society. However, it is obvious that one way or the another, but the Ukrainian educational system needed to be reformed, updated and modernizated.

In 2005, our state became an official participant of the Bologna Club by signing the Bologna Declaration, which gave rise to the Bologna process – the process of creating a united European educational space. The main principles of the Bologna Process have been and remain the following principles: the establishment of similar, understandable and accessible educational standards, mutual recognition, the intensification of academic mobility and academic exchanges, the development and the financing of various educational projects, programs and grants, the creation of conditions for the formation of a common market, the enhancement of the competitiveness of European educational system. As part of the Bologna process, our state entered a new phase in reforming the education system. First of all, the reforming of the higher education by committing itself to gradually move to the European educational standards, introducing the basic principles and elements of the Bologna process.

The article examines the main stages of the reform process of the Ukrainian higher education system within the framework of participation in the Bologna process, describes the legal and regulatory framework for the transition of the national higher education to European educational standards, justifies the importance and perspective of educational reforms on the path to European integration.
The Denazification of the Post-war Germany in the American Occupation Zone in 1945-1949
Authors: Boiko Mykhailo , Ivanov Oleksandr
Published: February 2019

As a result of the analysis of the documents of the American Military Administration, agreements, signed at the official governmental level by the representatives of the Allies, personal documents, articles of the German newspaper “Die Zeit” and sociological researches carried out by the scientific institutions, the authors of the article outline the main mechanisms, procedures, institutions for the implementation of the denazification and identify its advantages and disadvantages during the American occupation in 1945-1949.

Denazification implemented in the American occupation zone did not remain ineffective. This process also had a shocking effect for the civilians, for it meant “social degradation and humiliation in the eyes of society”. If there was no internal purification of the former criminals, all reinterpreted individuals were now forced to outbrave “political moderation and restraint” and to accept new conditions. With the adoption of democracy “from above” during the transitional justice, there can be no unequivocal answer to the question whether the national socialist dictatorship in Germany could be regarded as successful.

The United States of America quickly realized that the future of Germany would depend on both the announced denazification and the economic recovery. The American government approved the adoption of the Basic Law (Constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany). In any case, the American policy toward Germany consistently advocated German unity and the integration of a prosperous and strong state, provided that it would become a constituent of a capitalist and democratic international system as a responsible party.
The Defense Policy of the European Union on the Modern Stage
Authors: Martynov Andrii
Published: February 2019

The European Union is facing unprecedented challenges, both global and internal: regional conflicts, terrorism, growing migratory pressures, protectionism, social and economic inequalities. A safe and secure EU where all citizens feel sure and can move freely, external borders are secured, where international norms are respected, Europe determined to fight terrorism. The European international system is not rigid; it is characterized by constant changeability of the configuration of forces, spheres of influence. The states of the European Union system may be divided into static, transformative and turbulent. For example, Brexit, together with the cooperation and peaceful co-existence, proceed from the current state of the international system, as far as structural limitations imposed on the actions of states by the hierarchy of a system are more stable than the level of their influence. The disparity between the status of a state in the system and its potential abilities are the most credible explanations of conflict behaviour thereof. Conflict and cooperation are the most important manifestations of the subject of international relations and logically proceed from structural peculiarities of a current international system. Generally speaking, the existence of the system of international relations is defined by conditions of coexistence of contemporary Poles of international power, the superpower status of which is fixed with respect to peripheral social subject by relevant factorial, spectral, departmental, geo-civilizational, and institutional elements. The expansion in the range of issues, which did not require the unanimous approval of the EU member-states, but solely by voting on the principle of the qualified majority, was to promote the enforced cooperation between the EU member-states. These vectors were chosen due to the changes in the international arena which occurred during the period researched, reflected rather in these areas than in the economic policy since the state received the freedom of action in the search of a new balance of power. What is more, the EU institutions that govern the common foreign and security policy and the European defence remained weak even after the Maastricht treaty has been reviewed and the Amsterdam treaty has been signed. The monetary union is an identity instrument of the EU. The multi-ethnics identity is the feature of the migration processes in European Union.

Published: February 2019

Starting in 2017, the carrying out of technological and price audit of investment programs (projects of investment programs) and reports on their implementation has been secured as the necessary measures for the electric grid companies of Russia in the framework of approval procedures and approval of investment programs and oversee their implementation.Realization of technological and price audit requires to review large set of information in short period of time, which is limited by investment program validation procedures. Forming representative sample (which describes general population accurately) as an object of analysis could increase audit efficiency. The approach shown in the article is based on mathematical methods of analysis.On the example of the project of the investment program of PJSC "MOESK" the authors made an attempt to apply the described technique. This technique made it possible to perform the main task - the formation of a sample of investment projects, which allows without loss of quality and complexity of the investment program materials to preserve the validity and objectivity of the formed conclusion based on the results of technological and price audit.

Published: February 2019

The problems of investment in the development of supply chains are considered. The trends that are characteristic of investment processes in the industry are investigated, and problems of investing in the supply chain are highlighted, namely, the lack of a wellcoordinated partnership between the state and private business, underestimation of projects due to incomplete information about the characteristics of investment projects and underdeveloped investment assessment methodology. The authors confirmed the thesis that the development of investment in innovative solutions for supply chains is ensured by more active participation of stakeholders in the investment process.
MATHEMATICAL FORMALIZATION OF INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Obydenov A. Yu.
Published: February 2019

The article proposes the way of mathematical formalization of institutions in the framework of game-theory approach. The rules are represented by transpositions of payoffs in payment matrix. Such the transitions call the change the structure of game equilibriums. This approach allows separation of coordination and distribution aspects of institutions, division institutions into classes and distinguishing aggregateс of institutions, which produce identical transformation. Through evolutionary game theory formalism it is shown that such parametric management influences the structure of steady states, what allows investigation of institutions’ influence on self-organization, in particular, through transformation of topology of phase portrait of the system. In accordance with the fact that dynamic with multiple steady states is typical for coordination problem as a whole, an approach suggested of the rules formalization appears to have rather broad application.
INFLUENCE OF INFORMATION SIGNALS ON THE FUTURE EARNINGS
Authors: Lutsenko S. I.
Published: February 2019

It is considered of information signals on the future earnings of the Russian companies. Information signals can influence behaviour of investors at an estimation of the future earnings. Indicators of internal growth and shock can influence on earnings in the future. The shock indicator allows to consider a situation when the company will pass from debt financing to internal sources of financing to lower the wastage rate of assets connected with influence of shocks. Internal financing is performed at the expense of the cheapest source - earnings. It allows to reduce level of debt risk by means of capital structure adjustment (repayment of a part of amount of debt). Indicators of shock and internal growth for investors are the information indicator of prospects of development of the company.
Disruptions of spermatogenic function after testicle torsion in childhood and adolescence
Authors: Shormanov Igor S. , Shchedrov Dmitriy N. , Morozov Evgenij V.
Published: February 2019

Aim of research. To assess the state of spermatogenesis in men after an experience of testicle torsion in childhood and adolescence. 

Materials and methods. A semen analysis was performed involving 76 men, ages 18 to 29 years, who had testicle torsion in childhood and adolescence. Inclusion criteria in this study were an age of 18 years and an active sexual life. Analysis of the ejaculate was performed in accordance with the World Health Organization Guidelines for the study of human ejaculate. Macroscopic and microscopic evaluation of ejaculate, as well as assessment of motility, viability, number, and morphology of sperm was performed. The control group included 49 men who lacked potential risk factors for male infertility. 

Results and discussion. Changes in the ejaculate depended on the patient's age, as well as the duration and degree of testicular ischemia. When the gonad was preserved after critical ischemia occurred, the spermogram indices were significantly worse than when performing primary orchiectomy, which indicates functional failure of the gonad following its atrophy and suggests that it is inadvisable to maintain the gonad with the expectation of improved long-term results. 

Conclusions: 1. Changes in the spermogram after ischemia were observed in terms of sperm morphology and mobility. 2. The most pronounced changes in the spermogram were noted in patients who had experienced third-degree inversion of the testicle with preservation of gonads; the least pronounced changes were noted in patients who had experience inversion with spontaneous generation and incomplete inversion, which involved minimal ischemic damage. 3. The worst ischemia in puberty occurred in the context of mature sex glands. 4. There was a direct dependence of spermogram changes on the duration of acute ischemia. 5. The most unfavorable combination occurred in puberty, with disease lasting for more than 1 day, comprising complete inversion with “critical” ischemia. 6. After critical ischemia with preservation of the gonad, the semen is less favorable than after completion of orchiectomy, due to the failure of atrophied gonads; this finding casts doubt on the practice of gonad preservation.
MODELING OF QUALITY ASSURANCE INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR ISO-CERTIFIED HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Legowo Mercurius Broto
Published: February 2019

The purpose of this research is to develop a model of the quality assurance information system based on an integration of BAN-PT accreditation and ISO 9001: 2008 for ISO-certified higher education institutions. Problems that arise when the higher education has been certified ISO 9001: 2008 and will carry out accreditation of study program based on BAN-PT. Another problem is that higher education institutions do not have an integrated model of the quality assurance information system based on the integration of BAN-PT Accreditation and ISO 9001: 2008. This study is the next stage of previous research showing a framework of accreditation results of BANT-PT and ISO 9001: 2008. This National Strategy Research for Institutions is a type of applied research that uses a qualitative approach. The result of this research is a model of Quality Assurance Information System (QAIS) based on an integration of BAN-PT accreditation and ISO 0001: 2008  for ISO-certified higher education institutions. This QAIS modeling will later facilitate software application development at the next stage of research in the future. This Quality Assurance  Information System will be able to support the change management of study program to improve the accreditation standard of study program significantly.
Buffer Zone: Policies, Procedures, and Reality
Authors: Mumcu Ceyda , Fried Gil , Liu Dan
Published: February 2019

The term “buffer zone’ has been used roughly for the past 20 years to highlight the space needed between an activity area and its surrounding to present the safest activity area possible. While everyone would agree there should be some space, the issue is how much? Is the designated space just an estimate or based on scientific research? If there had not been any prior injuries for many years, is the facility reasonably safe for the activity level? These are the questions that exist around “appropriate” buffer zones. This paper examines the basketball buffer zones and whether they are accurate and appropriate. After providing background information about the role of buffer zones, risk management basics, and basic physics of movement, this paper attempts to provide the most appropriate basketball buffer zone distance via surveys, player measurements, and a dose of physics.
Loving the Other: Fantastic Films and Unlikely Couples
Authors: Rainey Sarah Smith
Published: February 2019

This article uses a queer, critical disability studies framework to examine a diverse set of films in which one lover literally changes bodies to be like the other lover, such as in The Little Mermaid (1989), Avatar (2009), and the Twilight saga. The author argues that these films, what she calls "fantastic unlikely couple films," represent the values of companionate love, a relationship form that emphasizes similarity as the key to successful long-term relationships. Significantly, the values of companionate love are aligned with the (neo)liberal state. In the films analyzed, the physically transformed partner is also the weaker, more dependent partner. The shift to a more capable body—one similar to the body of the other partner—not only means that the couple will be more equal companions; it also means that the pair can now fulfill their destiny as productive workers and reproductive parents, independent of state subsidies and assistance.
Addressing Accessibility Issues in Institutional Review Board Policies
Authors: Milligan Meg , Tew-Washburn Suzanne , Doss Kanessa Miller , Giambrone Joseph P.
Published: February 2019

Legislation mandates addressing accessibility issues in educational practices to foster equal access for all students and faculty. Educational practices include research. Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) can contribute to equality in higher education by requiring equal opportunity for persons with different abilities to participate in or conduct research, an area overlooked by IRBs. We contend this is a legal and ethical responsibility under IRBs' protection from harm requirement as well as laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). A keyword search of the 55 original land grant universities in the United States' IRB policies and related documents produced no evidence of accessibility concerns for general research participant pools or researchers. Recommendations to correct this oversight and areas for further study are included.
Sometimes Allies: Parent-Led Disability Organizations and Social Movements
Authors: Carey Allison C. , Block Pamela , Scotch Richard K.
Published: February 2019

Despite the recent growth of scholarship on parent activism related to disability, the existing literature tends to focus on specific organizations and time periods and draw on a social psychological approach to examine the motivations of parents in becoming activists. This paper considers disability activism as a field of social movement organizations and focuses on disability organizations led by parents and their relationship to organizations led by activists with disabilities. Using qualitative methods informed by theoretically focused coding and grounded situational analysis, we examine the public framing of four national parent-led organizations that are politically prominent. Through this field approach, the analysis reveals the diversity of parent-led organizations, commonalities and the fault lines among these organizations, and the factors which effect the likelihood of alliances between organizations led by parents and those led by activists with disabilities.
Stasis in Flight: Reframing Disability and Dependence in the Refugee
Authors: Dawson Alexander C.
Published: February 2019

Asylum protocol and legislation necessitates that a refugee's hope for survival relies on a precondition of mobility. This article interrogates methods through which refugees with physical disabilities that impair mobility maintain hope in spite of this. Through an examination of literary representations of refugees with disabilities, this article promotes a shift in how we conceive of dependence within these subjects. In this way, it challenges popular conceptions of refugees as hopeless and dependent figures. By focusing on moments of contested agency, deemed scenes of "stasis in flight," this article proposes a social model of refugeeness in which the stigmatization of dependence for all refugees is challenged through disabled refugee characters. In so doing, it draws attention to subjectivities that are problematically being ignored or misconceived in our contemporary climate.

Authors: Narayanan Saravanan , Nallu Kamalanathan , Venu Sridhar , Ganapathi Arul Raja
Published: February 2019

Background: Atrophic acne scars are one of the sequalae that follows acne vulgaris. These scars are big cosmetic concern presenting with varied morphology like ice-pick, rolling and boxcar scars and it needs multimodal approach to treat effectively rather than a single modality. Our main aim is to study the efficacy of combination therapy using subcision, micro-needling and trichloro acetic acid chemical reconstruction of skin scars (TCA CROSS) in a sequential manner for the management of atrophic acne scars.

Methods: Total 30 patients of either sex with grade 2, 3, and 4 atrophic acne scars were graded using Goodman and Baron qualitative grading and were enrolled in the study. After single sitting of subcision, micro-needling and 50% TCA CROSS were performed alternatively at 3 weeks interval for a total of 3 sessions of each. Grading of acne scars were done by taking photographs at pre-treatment, post treatment, 1st and 3rd month after last treatment session.

Results: Out of 14 patients with grade 4 acne scars, 9 (64.3%) patients improved to grade 2 and 5 (35.7%) patients improved to Grade 3. Out of 10 patients with Grade 3 scars, 6 (60%) patients improved to grade 1, and 4 (40%) patients were improved to grade 2 at the end of study. All 5 patients with Grade 2 scars showed significant improvement from baseline.

Conclusions: Subcision, micro-needling and TCA CROSS, if they are combined and adequately done in proper manner will have excellent response in all types of atrophic acne scars.
Structure Changes in Food System and China's Concerns with Food Safety Policy
Authors: Zhou Ying‐heng , Ding Wen‐yan , Zhou De
Published: February 2019

After nearly four decades of remarkable economic growth, the food system changes dramatically in China. As incomes are increasing, consumers surpass the subsistence‐level and switch to strong preferences for palatable, safety, and healthy foodstuffs, and the dietary patterns are undergoing a transformation from “eating for satiation” to “eating for health”. Therefore, consumers pay more attention to food safety. However, the present food supply system can not keep the pace up with such transformation of demand for food safety due to the existence of distorted market mechanism in food market. As the existence of high frequency of food safety scandals, food safety has become an issue of enormous public concern in China. This paper takes an overview of the transformations of food system, drivers of food safety problems, and the related food safety policies and management in China. To solve the food safety issues, it is necessary to take countermeasures to reform the food production, processing, circulation, and sale and consumption. Some condensed recommendations are as follows: (1) to set up the food safety risk management and communication with “consumer priority” principle; (2) to improve food quality monitor technologies and food safety risk assessment; (3) to reform food safety governance system and make it incentive compatible; and (4) to complement the national credibility system and settle the distorted food markets in China.
Food Security and Nutrition in Rural India: Understanding State Level Heterogeneity
Authors: Rahman Andaleeb , Pingali Prabhu , Mittra Bhaskar
Published: February 2019

While nutritional outcomes in India have improved, albeit slowly, the policy framework fails to recognize the importance of food and agricultural policies in improving nutrition. This paper provides evidence on the sub‐national variation in food security and nutritional outcomes and links it to the governance structure and policy priorities. Sub‐national unit of analysis has been a common theme in the comparative literature and we apply the same to understand the nutrition‐food‐agriculture nexus within India. We find that the states with a better agricultural system and public provision of health and hygiene perform much better on the nutritional outcomes. This hearkens to the academic understanding of nutrition as a multi‐dimensional concept, which has been ignored by policymakers. We further call for more careful analysis of sub‐regional heterogeneity and the changing policy paradigms at the sub‐national level to address poor nutritional outcomes in India.

Cemitério Vera Cruz: patrimônio, fé e devoção
Authors: Cassol Francielle Moreira
Published: February 2019

O presente trabalho objetiva demostrar a importância do Cemitério Municipal Vera Cruz enquanto espaço de memória, de sociabilidades, de rituais de passagem, de práticas de devoção, ou seja, de um patrimônio material e imaterial da comunidade Passo-fundense, enquanto local de veneração a “santa popular” Maria Elizabeth de Oliveira. O cemitério foi inaugurado em primeiro de janeiro de 1902 e foi o primeiro cemitério municipal da cidade, o mesmo se desenvolveu acompanhando o crescimento urbano e afastando os mortos do centro da cidade. Muitas vezes a “última morada” demonstra em sua arquitetura os interesses e preferências do finado enquanto vivo, bem como, os de sua própria família, deixando assim registrado seu nível socioeconômico ou mesmo sua posição social. Nesse contexto, possuir uma sepultura rica em ornamentos, de grande porte, repleta de esculturas e símbolos sacros pode significar proteção divina, um descanso eterno, em paz e mesmo sua distinção social, visto que, este cemitério mesmo sendo um campo santo é também um espaço privado e que despende certo investimento econômico. Nesse espaço cemiterial conseguir um bom lugar para ser enterrado ou mesmo adquirir um terreno é uma forma de garantir um patrimônio material, mas também de construir um lugar de lembranças e de práticas de socializações como nos enterros, velórios, um local a ser visitado e cultuado pelos familiares. O Cemitério, a devoção a Maria Elizabeth, assim como diversas sepulturas do cemitério Vera Cruz destacam-se enquanto patrimônios locais, lugar histórico, um local repleto de lembranças, memórias, valor arquitetônico, artístico, devoção e beleza.

Sildenafil does not affect the proliferation of human lymphocytes in the in vitro transplant model
Authors: Kaleta Beata
Published: February 2019

Sildenafil is a selective inhibitor of type 5 phosphodiesterase (PDE5) used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Numerous studies revealed beneficial effects of sildenafil use in chronic kidney disease, and also in renal, liver, heart and bone marrow transplant recipients. Some reports suggest that sildenafil modulates function of the immune system, and additionally proliferation of endothelial, bone marrow and cancer cells. Despite the fact that PDE5 inhibitors showed efficacy and safety, it is very important to know whether these drugs have immunomodulatory properties, because are used in patients after organ transplantation. The influence of sildenafil on antigen-induced proliferation of lymphocytes remains currently unknown, thus the aim of the study was to investigate the effects of the drug on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) proliferation in a mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR).PBMCs were isolated from venous blood from 30 donors. The proliferation was examined on the DNA synthesis level by measurements of 3H-thymidine incorporation. Cell viability was determined using trypan blue exclusion method.The study demonstated that sildenafil at concentrations of 0.06 µM, 0.6 µM and 6µM did not affect auto- and alloantigen-induced  proliferation of PBMCs and showed no cytotoxic effect. However, further analysis is required to fully understand the role of PDE5 inhibitors in the regulation of human immune system.
THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LITERACY LEVEL OF NEWLY ENROLLED FEMALE COLLEGE STUDENTS IN JAPAN
Authors: Nishikawa Tomoko , Izuta Guido
Published: February 2019

Purpose: The objective of the study was to assess the self-assessment of information literacy among newly enrolled Japanese female college student in what concerns to the ability to operate office applications; namely, word processors, spreadsheets and presentation software. In addition, researchers also investigated the time period when they started using them.  Methodology: A survey was performed on 272 junior college female students of humanities courses and 41 college students of nutrition science course in April 2018, right after their entrance ceremonies. Statistical free software R was used to process the data, which consisted of chi-square test of independence for a contingency table, and correspondence analysis. The parameters assessed were (1) self-evaluation of the ability to use office applications, and (2) the period of time the students started using time. Main Findings: ‘Upper intermediate’ level students in word processors were correlated with the period around ‘Class in elementary school’ or ‘Class in junior high school’. By contrast, ‘Upper intermediate’ level students in spreadsheeting were associated with the first contact in a ‘Class in junior high school’ or ‘Class in high school’. Presentation software has been used frequently since elementary school up to high school and its club activities. Finally, the results suggest that ‘Advanced’ level students were taught how to use all these applications from family members. Implications: These findings may help teachers to improve their academic curriculum in order to fill the gap between those who are skilled and those who are not. They also can give useful hints to explore new teaching methods on information literacy subjects in higher education. Novelty: The results suggest that that the period of time that students had their first contact with the applications affects the awareness of their importance and the motivation to learn them.

Purpose: This study aims to determine the material integration of Islamic religious education and natural science on photosynthesis experiments.

Methodology: This research is library research. Data obtained from a literature review. The analytical method used is conceptual-descriptive.

Findings: The results of the study show that there are two topics of natural science material experiments closely relatedtoscientific cues on QS. Yasin verse 80, QS. Nuh verse 16, and QS. Thaha verse 53.  Those topics are about light and photosynthesis. Light (an-nur) is one of the names of letters in the Qur'an. Photosynthesis experiments can explain the relationship of light interpretation materially. Sunlight is the main source of energy for the life of all living things in the world. For plants especially those with chlorophyll, sunlight greatly determines photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a basic process in plants to produce food. The food produced will determine the availability of energy for plant growth and development. Low light intensity has three choices, namely: reduction of respiration speed, increase in leaf area to obtain a larger surface absorption of light; and increased photosynthetic velocity per unit of light energy and leaf area.

Applications: This study can be used by Islamic education institution for education, research, and community services. 

Novelty/Originality: This study is the integration between scientific cues and natural science experiment material.

América Latina se caracteriza porque sus comunidades rurales han sido tradicionalmente las más pobres y las más vulneradas. Este hecho ha sido causa y consecuencia de fenómenos relacionados con la tenencia de tierras, el desarrollo agroindustrial, la explotación minera, entre otros. Por lo anterior, el propósito de este artículo es proponer unos lineamientos de política pública sustentada en el desarrollo humano integral y dirigida a comunidades rurales social y económicamente vulnerables. Con esta propuesta se busca desarrollar planes, programas y proyectos que permitan un acercamiento con las comunidades rurales para conocerlas, fortalecerlas y construir comunidad, en cuanto elemento fundamental para mejorar las condiciones de pobreza, reducir la violencia y preservar el medioambiente y los recursos naturales. Se concluye, entre otros aspectos, que la consolidación de una política pública sustentada en la educación es la mejor opción para devolverles a los campesinos la posibilidad de una vida digna.
El B-learning y sus relaciones
Authors: Arévalo Rodríguez Carolina
Published: February 2019

En este artículo se muestra el B-learning o aprendizaje híbrido y sus relaciones con diferentes ámbitos como las tecnologías de la información y comunicación, la autonomía acompañada y la cirbercultura. Las tendencias de las tecnologías aplicadas en la educación superior por medio de los informes Horizon fueron llevados a cabo entre 2012 y 2017. Por ejemplo, el informe de 2012 se concentra en las aplicaciones para móviles y el uso de tabletas que se implementarían en un año o menos. Por su parte, en el reporte de 2014 se evidenciaron como tendencias rápidas con implementación de uno a dos años la creciente ubicuidad de los medios sociales y la integración del aprendizaje en línea. Además, en el reporte de 2016 se estimó que en un periodo de cinco o más años habrá un avance en la cultura del cambio y la innovación, así como la necesidad de replantearse el funcionamiento de las instituciones. Teniendo en cuenta estas tendencias, el B-learning permite que se abran oportunidades en la implementación de la autonomía acompañada y la cibercultura tanto para la enseñanza como el aprendizaje en la educación superior.

Published: February 2019

En este artículo se presenta una propuesta metodológica para la organización y visibilización del trabajo independiente de los estudiantes en la Universidad de La Salle, tomando como base el sistema de créditos académicos y el modelo pedagógico del aula invertida. Se plantea como problema la existencia de actividades que se encuentran a cargo, exclusivamente, de los estudiantes y para las cuales no se tiene evidencia ni control respecto del trabajo que ellos desarrollan. Como hipótesis se asume que es posible resolver la problemática, orientando y haciendo seguimiento permanente a dichas actividades, con el objeto de elevar el rendimiento académico y fortalecer los procesos de retención estudiantil en la Universidad. La metodología se focaliza en el espacio académico Matemáticas I, con 3 créditos, 4 horas de trabajo presencial y 5 de trabajo independiente, y pretende desarrollar actividades caracterizadas por hacer uso de diversos recursos diseñados o implementados por el profesor, mediante los cuales el estudiante interactúa en el proceso autónomo de aprendizaje, seguidos de momentos de autoevaluación, retroalimentación y evaluación, permitiendo la participación activa de los estudiantes y potenciando habilidades transversales.

The research to find out the good briquette adhesive has been done, however the results have not been satisfactory yet. This study aims to determine the effect of hibiscus leaf adhesive (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L) on charcoal briquette organic charcoal. The materials used in the manufacture of cow dung husk charcoal briquettes are rice husk and cow dung. The research was conducted in biology garden of Science and Technology Faculty, Islamic State University of Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung from May to June 2015. The research was conducted by using Random Design Complete (RAL) Factorial 3 X 4 with twice repetition (duplo). There are 3 compositions of treatment rice husk: cow dung, that are: 1: 1, 3: 1 and 1: 3, and addition of 4 levels adhesive from hibiscus leaf (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L.), that are; control (without adhesive), 10 grams, 15 grams and 20 grams. The results showed that the adhesive combination of hibiscus leaves and the composition of organic charcoal briquettes was highest at density of 0.89 g / cm3, calorific value of 2432.62 cal / g, carbon content of 25.49% and lowest at water content of 8.75 %, vapor content 32.89%, ash content 45%. The best treatment combinations were found in the ratio of rice husk: cow dung ie 1: 3 and adhesive concentration 15 grams with the best heat value of 2431,62 kal /g.

Vegetation is a collection of plants that usually consist of several species and live together in one place. Vegetation analysis is a way of studying the composition (component type) and the shape (structure) of vegetation or vegetation communities. Forests are the most important habitat component of life, hence the condition of plant communities within the forest, whether plant species composition, species dominance, density or closure of the canopy should be measured. The island of Sumatra is one of the most diverse ecoregion regions in the world. World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) as one of the world's conservation organizations incorporates mountainous rainforest as a conservation area. The Sumatra mountain forests are one of the 200 critically endorsed ecoregions and a priority of global conservation. Mount Dempo is a protected forest area located on a cluster of hills line the island of Sumatra. This mountain has a height of 3159 asl (above sea level) and is the highest mountain in the area of South Sumatra. This study aims to determine the diversity of plants in the protected forest vegetation of Mount Dempo, Pagar Alam City, South Sumatera. Vegetation analysis was done by purposive sampling with bitterlich method, i.e measurement done on plot measuring 2x2, 5x5, 10x10, and 20x20 m. Analyzes were performed on two plots of different locations, and all plant species found in each plot were recorded of the type and amount. The parameters measured include the type name, the individual number of each type, the diameter, the height, and the height of the free branch. The results obtained at the Importance Value Index (INP) in Gunung Dempo, Pagar Alam of 294 stated that Mount Dempo has a high vegetation that is still preserving the existing plant, but it is also able to used as tourist visit as the stage of environmental and nature care.
