Background

The present study was designed to evaluate the metabolic profile, cardiovascular risk factors and quality of life in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and compare it with age- and sex-matched controls.

Methods

Fifty-two patients aged 3–21 years with classic CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency were included in the study. Metabolic profiling was done for 36 cases and compared with 28 healthy age- and sex-matched controls. Quality of life was assessed in all 52 children and their parents using a validated Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) questionnaire and was compared with normative data from the same population.

Results

The median age was 12 years with 14 (27%) males and 38 (73%) females. Out of the total 52 patients, 35 (67%) had salt wasting and 17 (33%) had simple virilising CAH. The median height standard deviation score (SDS) of cases was similar to that of controls (−0.72 vs. −0.64, p = 0.57) and 81% of females had normal pubertal status indicating a good control of the disease. Weight SDS, body mass index (BMI) SDS, mean diastolic blood pressure and insulin resistance were significantly higher in cases when compared to controls (0.31 vs. −0.3; 0.96 vs. 0.17; 67.8 ± 10.49 vs. 61 ± 8.49 and 2.1 vs. 0.95, respectively). The quality of life was significantly reduced in all domains as per parents’ perspective, whereas the children reported reduced quality of social and school functioning. There was no significant correlation between quality of life and metabolic parameters.

Conclusions

Children with CAH despite a reasonably good control of the disease have a higher cardiovascular risk and reduced quality of life when compared to healthy controls.

Published: July 2019

The lean blowout (LBO) limits are critical for the performance of multipoint lean direct injection (MPLDI) combustors. The recessed pilot stage is a promising method to improve the LBO limits for the MPLDI combustors. In the present study, experiments are conducted to investigate the effects of the recess length of the pilot stage on the LBO limits for the MPLDI combustors. Five types of configurations with different recess lengths (0 mm, 7.5 mm, 15 mm, 22.5 mm and 30 mm) of the pilot stage are utilized. It could be concluded from the experimental results that the recessed pilot stage is an efficient method to improve the LBO limits for the MPLDI combustors. Compared with the configuration whose pilot stage is flush mounted, the maximum improvement of the LBO FAR could reach about 42 % by recessing the pilot stage for 22.5 mm. When the recess length is short, the LBO FAR decreases quickly with the increasing of the recess length. When the recess length is long, the LBO FAR decreases slowly with the increasing of the recess length. The mechanism for the function of the recessed pilot stage is revealed by carefully designed numerical simulations to be the suppression of the effect of the disturbance air.

Published: July 2019

The objectives of this study are; (1) to identify the probability of paid work options, (2) to analyze variables affecting the income of the farmers, and (3) to analyze and measure variables that affect the farmers dependence over forest resources. This result indicates that the physical capacity variables affecting the decision for working in the forest. The other influencing reasons in the decision making process to work in the forest is the age of the head of the family, working time which is spent in the forest, the width of the areas, and values of the assets. Generally, the dependence of the farmers over the forest is spatially  influenced by the income from non-forest work, the land-owned width, household’s head education, number of dependents, and access to the forest, and access to the forest. However, the variable of asset values do not essentially play important role. A new finding is the occurence of the income inequality. It is driven by the inequality of the width of the land as a result of sale and lease of the right to the land in the forest, the conflicts happens through the years, and the disobedience of the farmers over the working period.

Los recursos biológicos en la mira de los tratados comerciales
Authors: Rodríguez Silvia
Published: July 2019

En las últimas décadas se han puesto en vigor convenios  internacionales  con objetivos  ambientales o comerciales.  En este artículo se destaca cómo los primeros han ido cediendo poco a poco el espacio a los segundos en los puntos en conflicto. Así, tenemos el Acuerdo de los aspectos de propiedad intelectual relacionados con el comercio que puso en entredicho algunas conquistas sociales y ambientales del Convenio de la diversidad biológica (CDB). La situación se ha ido reforzando con los tratados de libre comercio bilaterales como el Tratado de Libre Comercio entre Estados Unidos, Centroamérica y República Dominicana. El caso de Costa Rica, como parte de este tratado, pone en evidencia dicho punto de conflicto ya que su adelantada legislación para normar el acceso a sus recursos bioquímicos y genéticos, y así para cumplir con el CDB, es avasallada por los términos de referencia de los tratados comerciales.

Published: July 2019

Introduction. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of change in vertical placement of bracket and effect of tooth morphology on stress developed on periodontal ligament with the help of three dimensional finite element modeling.

Methods. A three-dimensional model of the maxillary bone, maxillary right central incisor, lateral incisor and canine was designed based on the average dimensions of the anatomy and morphology given by Wheeler’s and standard edgewise bracket with Slot of 0.022″ X 0.028″ inch was designed using the finite element method. Brackets were placed on each tooth, on the mentioned labial surface at variable distances from the cusp tip, and a full size archwire was virtually engaged into the bracket, then optimum orthodontic load of 2N is applied and PDL stress were calculated.

Results. The lowest stress values were measured as bracket position changes from crest of teeth to the apical direction. By displacing the bracket gingivally from 1.5 to 6 mm, a 16.2% decrease in stress level for central incisor, for lateral incisor the stress level decrease by 25.8% and for canine the stress level decrease by 21.6% thus our study confirms that variation in vertical bracket position results in change in resultant stress in PDL.

Conclusion.It can be concluded that the variation in the vertical position of the bracket on different tooth can have an important effect on the stresses developed in the PDL.
A fast method for the determination of 210Pb by LSC in liquid samples
Authors: Lucena Camilla Da Silva Sampaio , Sousa Wanderson De Oliveira , Dantas Bernardo Maranhão
Published: July 2019

210Pb is a naturally occurring radionuclide, widely distributed on the earth´s surface and can be incorporated by humans through food chain or directly by ingestion or inhalation in situations of occupational or accidental exposures. It concentrates in bone tissue when absorbed, presenting a rather long biological half-life and producing one of the highest skeletal doses among naturally occurring radionuclides under conditions of average background exposure. Because of its metabolic and dosimetric characteristics, 210Pb becomes an important isotope from the radiation protection point of view. This work presents the development of a methodology for the determination of 210Pb by liquid scintillation. It is the modification of a sequential analysis for naturally occurring radionuclides in environmental samples without the need of waiting for secular equilibrium to be achieved with 210Bi. The methodology has shown to be precise, stable and provides consistent results when evaluated according to the criteria established in the Brazilian Intercomparison Program promoted by the IRD.

Food irradiation has been approved in more than 60 countries for many applications in a wide variety of foods. 2-Alkylcyclobutanones (2-ACBs) are the only known radiolytic products formed when food containing fatty acids are irradiated. Despite the importance of food irradiation, the toxicological potential of 2-ACBs in irradiated food is still no fully understood. In this study we investigated the cytotoxic effects of irradiated palmitic and stearic fatty acids byproducts, 2-dDCB and 2-tDCB, in the hepatic cells (HepG2, BRL3A and HTC). The cytotoxic effects of 2-dDCB and 2-tDCB were evaluated at 100, 300 and 500 μM for 24 and 48 hours and the cell viability was measured using the MTS assay. While no toxicity was observed for 2-tDCB in all cells for all tested conditions, 2-dDCB was found to be toxic in BRL3A cells (at 100 µM after 48 hours) and HTC cells (at 24 hours in all tested concentrations). HepG2 cells on the other hand, were found to be resistant to 2-dDCB-induced toxicity.  Overall our data shows that the byproduct 2-tDCB is not toxic for hepatic cells while 2-dDCB can be used has a potential marker for food irradiation-induced toxicity.

Published: July 2019

LabPET GE 4 (a small animal positron emission tomograph) image acquisition is done by 1536 independents channels. Differences in the rate counting of each channel must be corrected so as not compromise image quality. Equipment user manual recommends that normalization of the detectors efficiency be made as often as possible and always whenever there are hardware or software parameters changes - included, but not limited to channels parameters adjustments, electronic cards replacements, channels activation or inactivation or software update. This work evaluates the normalization effects on the image quality parameters. PET image acquisition were performed using recommended parameters by the NEMA NU 4-2008 standards. Image was reconstructed in different ways using different normalization files. The tests performed indicated that the image quality parameters do not vary significantly with different normalization data. Therefore, a daily routine of normalizations is not justified, suggesting a periodical frequency of one month or more for this procedure.

Having accepted the need for the presence of a psychological relationship between the act and the agent and the importance of the intent and the classification of crimes into intentional and unintentional crimes, the punishment of the perpetrators of these crimes differed so that today, in the distinction between civil and criminal liability, the condition of the psychological element in the proofs of the titles of criminal acts is necessary, so long as it is said that the principle is the deliberate nature of the offenses and the contrary is required to be specified. Therefore, the current paper aims at investigating the malic in crimes in Iran and The United Kingdom. First the conceptual research subject is expanded and then, qualitative research method was used to analyze the data collected from library sources using the legal literature analysis method. The findings indicate that: "The psychological element in Iran and The English Criminal Law is in full compliance in some aspects, while and and contradictory others. In addition, The English Criminal Law in some cases is more comprehensive in the field of psychological element, which, along with the sacred Islamic law, can be useful for Iranian law ".Key words: Crime, Moral pillar, Malice, Iranian law, The English Criminal Law

Abstract The Economic development in Indonesia shows significant results, yet it has a negative impact towards the environment. The trouble  is that if the bank has provided credit or financing to customers, it turns out that the credit recipient company discharges waste into the river or other actions that undermine the environment. Do banks have helped in financing environmental damage? Then how was the bank's responsibility for credit channeled to polling debtors? Economic development cannot be separated from bank institutions as an intermediary institution which hasbecome one of the drivers of the economy and business so that it has a strategic role that can be used to achieve certain goals. One of the objectives of development is environmental sustainability. In order to espouse environmental preservation, the pattern of green banking can be applied, but only a small number of conventional banks and Islamic banks implement it in credit assessment terms. The pattern of green banking practice that can be realized in each credit agreement and financing at the bank, among others: administrative patterns, associative patterns, incentive patterns and evaluative patterns. Those patterns can be implemented with great awareness and responsibility from all banks in Indonesia. Keywords: law, bank, green banking AbstrakPembangunan ekonomi di Indonesia menunjukkan hasil yang cukup signifikan, akan tetapi menghasilkan dampak buruk terhadap lingkungan hidup. Permasalahannya yaitu apabila bank sudah menyalurkan kredit atau pembiayaan kepada nasabah yang ternyata perusahaan penerima kredit melakukan pembuangan limbah ke sungai atau kegiatan lainnya yang merusak lingkungan. Apakah bank dapat dikatakan turut membiayai terjadinya kerusakan lingkungan? Lalu bagaimana tanggungjawab bank terhadap kredit yang disalurkan pada debitur pencemar? Pembangunan ekonomi tidak dapat dilepaskan dari lembaga bank sebagai intermediary institution yang merupakan salah satu penggerak ekonomi dan bisnis sehingga memiliki peran strategis yang dapat digunakan untuk mencapai tujuan tertentu. Salah satu tujuan pembangunan adalah kelestarian lingkungan hidup. Dalam rangka menunjang pelestarian lingkungan hidup, pola green banking dapat diterapkan, akan tetapi hanya sebagian kecil bank konvensional dan bank syariah yang melaksanakannya dalam syarat penilaian kredit. Pola pelaksanaan green banking yang dapat direalisasikan dalam setiap perjanjian kredit dan pembiayaan pada bank, antara lain: pola administrative, pola asosiatif, pola pola insentif dan pola evaluative. Pola demikian dapat dilaksanakan dengan kesadaran dan tanggungjawab yang besar dari semua bank di Indonesia.Kata kunci: hukum, bank, green banking

Arte y dataísmo: afirmándonos desde las pantallas
Authors: Gaspar Robles Isabel
Published: July 2019

Cuando hemos perdido la fe en la realidad de la vida y solo creemos, como dice Berardi en el prólogo de Los condenados de la pantalla, en la proliferación infinita de imágenes (Steyerl, 2014, p. 12), ¿qué nos queda?, ¿cuáles son las nuevas deidades?, ¿en quién o en qué creemos?; se podría afirmar que en todo aquello que sea capaz de entregarnos, producir y reproducir imágenes.Si las imágenes son nuestras nuevas creencias, y las pantallas —es decir, aquello que nos permite acercarnos a las “creencias”— son nuestras nuevas deidades, es necesario tomar desde ellas una postura política ante el mundo, sobre todo desde la producción artística y de los estudios visuales. Este artículo reflexiona las posturas de algunos artistas que trabajan con las imágenes a través de las pantallas, como es el caso de Ryoji Ikeda, David Horvitz y Pussy Riot, y presenta la pantalla y sus interfaces como el archivo histórico de lo que sucede hoy en la sociedad.
“Bolivia es una sola montaña”. Apuntes sobre los discursos y las representaciones en torno a la nación elaborados por el gobierno del MAS durante el 2009
Authors: Amorebieta y Vera María Laura
Published: July 2019

Hacia mediados de los años 30 se consolidaba en Bolivia la narración del país de contactos como doctrina geopolítica formal, la cual se asentó sobre las ideas elaboradas por los pensadores del territorio de principios del siglo XX. Entre estos últimos, se encontraba Jaime Mendoza Gonzáles, quien sostenía que los Andes constituían “el sustrato básico” de la nacionalidad boliviana. Este escrito tiene como objetivo volver sobre las raíces de este dispositivo discursivo, así como analizar su impacto y persistencia en la retórica del gobierno del MAS. Puntualmente, se propone observar de qué manera las nociones que sirvieron de fundamento a dicha narrativa presionaron sobre la memoria histórica trazada por el gobierno del MAS durante la inauguración del “Bicentenario de los Pueblos” en el 2009, dando lugar a una idea de Bolivia que pareciera tropezar con la búsqueda oficial por extender e integrar la nación en clave plurinacional.

Authors: Aristulle Patricia Del Carmen , Paoloni-Stente Paola Verónica
Published: July 2019

Este trabajo se orienta a describir y analizar el rol de las emociones y de las habilidades socioemocionales en el proceso de conformación de una comunidad educativa. La propuesta se implementó en los Profesorados de Educación Inicial y de Educación Primaria del Instituto Superior de Formación Docente San José (Córdoba, Argentina). La escuela constituye un ámbito favorable para el desarrollo de aprendizajes que exceden los contenidos curricularmente prescriptos. Entre estos contenidos, se destaca el desarrollo de habilidades socioemocionales, un tópico que impacta favorablemente en la conformación de una comunidad educativa. Nace la pregunta, entonces, cómo se prepara el futuro profesorado para considerar en sus prácticas estas perspectivas amplias del enseñar y del aprender, que superen ampliamente las habilidades cognitivas y coloquen entre otras prioridades las habilidades socioemocionales, importantes para su quehacer profesional. El trabajo que se presenta, pretende promover una reflexión sobre la complejidad de los procesos de aprendizaje y brindar aportes capaces de ampliar la perspectiva en la formación docente. En este marco, se indagaron las habilidades socioemocionales de estudiantes de profesorado a partir de la implementación de un cuestionario de autoinforme. Los resultados se estiman promisorios para abrir espacios de reflexión acerca del papel que debería desempeñar este tipo de habilidades en la nueva agenda didáctica. Así, los hallazgos obtenidos desafían a revisar los diseños curriculares que orientan la formación del cuerpo docente para identificar contribuciones capaces de impactar en el desarrollo de sus habilidades socioemocionales y propiciar la conformación de comunidades educativas.

La Escuela Maternal de Costa Rica abrió sus puertas en 1925 en la ciudad de San José, Costa Rica. Se busca, por medio de este artículo, desarrollar un análisis pedagógico de la práctica educativa de sus maestras fundadoras y comprender las bases filosóficas y el perfil de ser humano que aspiraron formar. Metodológicamente, se obtuvieron los resultados con base en el estudio de los postulados del interaccionismo simbólico por medio del acopio y análisis de manuscritos originales, escritos científicos y literarios, la lectura de fotografías de la época y los vestigios de la casona que albergó a la institución y algunos artefactos que se han recuperado, por ejemplo, títeres y muebles. Se encontró que, en la Escuela Maternal, se practicó el juego organizado y libre tal como lo proponía el pedagogo alemán Fröebel, se estableció un comedor escolar; se efectuaron prácticas de destrezas manuales como lo proponían, en Italia, las hermanas Agazzi; se quiso establecer un gimnasio moderno a la luz de los principios propuestos por el pedagogo belga Decroly y existió una clara presencia del método psicoanalítico, el trabajo con las familias y el apoyo a los servicios de salud como lo establecía la pedagoga italiana, Montessori. Todo ello ayuda a presentar, como conclusión fundamental, que en esta institución pionera, en materia de educación preescolar en Costa Rica, se trabajó con una visión ecléctica la cual impactó la formación de niños y niñas de primera infancia, en el siglo XX.

Published: July 2019

This study analyses the effects of capital adequacy measures on credit risk management practices in Nigeria. The study applies the quasi experimental research design. The secondary time series data were obtained from annual report of the fifteen (15) quoted commercial banks in Nigeria as compiled in the Nigeria Stock Exchange Fact book for the period 1989 to 2015. The dependent variable; credit risk was modelled with the five (5) variants of capital adequacy measures as prescribed in Basel III provisions as our dependent variables. The independent variables were categorized under Tier I, Tier II, capital to total assets, capital conservation Buffer (CCB), Minimum Total capital Ratio (MTC) and counter cyclical capital Buffer (CCyB). The multivariate regression technique was specified and results obtained based on E-views version 9.0. The unit root result shows that the variables were stationary at levels in all except MTC which was stationary at first difference. The conintegration result shows existence of a long run equilibrium relationship between credit risk and capital adequacy. The VAR result shows that changes in credit risk were statistically and significantly influenced by capital adequacy measures. The bi-variate causality test unveils that credit risk granger-causes Tier I, capital to total risk assets, hence there exist a bidirectional link between credit risk and capital adequacy (CCB) though credit risk granger-cause more. The Impulse Response Function result shows that credit risk responded normally and negatively to the selected capital adequacy measures except for MTC ratio. The variance decomposition result unveils that credit risk accounted for own shocks up to 79.30%, this points to the critical nature of credit risk to bank survival and growth. This study concludes that transition from Basel II to Basel III will further mitigate risk management under Basel III capital framework and will also avert systemic failure in banks in Nigeria. It is recommended that risk management should be a matter of policy focus and priority among regulators and operators of bank in Nigeria.

Authors: Dr. S.M. Kanade, Dr Priyadershini Rangari*
Published: July 2019

Background: Otitis media is a common infection in young children. Multiple studies have  looked at the impact of environmental tobacco smoke(passive smoking) on children and the incidence of otitis media infection.

Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the correlation of environmental and parental smoking on otitis media in children of age range brtween 0-12age.

Methods: This was an observational study conducted on 320 clinically diagnosed otitis media in 0-12 year age children. The study was performed in five year period from March 2009 to March 2014. All the patients were observed in routine OPD check up by a single observer. A pre designed Performa was used to record relevent information like patient data, history, clinical findings and investigation report from individual pregnancy.

Results: The male predominance  was observed. Forth group wass of 9-12 year age with most prevalent patients having either from of disease; this was because of more than three years of exposure to passive smoking.

Effects of short-term in-season plyometric training in adolescent female basketball players
Authors: Meszler B , Váczi M
Published: July 2019

In this study, we tested the hypothesis that, during the regular in-seasonal basketball training, an additional 7-week plyometric training program improves lower extremity strength, balance, agility, and jump performance in adolescent female basketball players. Eighteen female basketball players less than 17 years of age were randomly assigned into an experimental group (plyometric training) and a control group. Both groups underwent the same basketball training program. Pre- and post-training test periods included quadriceps and hamstring strength, balance, jump performance, and agility measurements. Illinois agility test time (p = 0.000) and quadriceps strength (p = 0.035) increased uniformly in the two groups. Significant group by test period interaction was found for countermovement jump (p = 0.007), and countermovement height reduced significantly in the plyometric training group (p = 0.012), while it remained unchanged in controls. No significant change was found for T agility test, balance, hamstring strength or H:Q ratio. This study shows that the training program used in-season did not improve the measured variables, except for knee extensor strength. It is possible that regular basketball trainings and games combined with high-volume plyometric training did not show positive functional effects because of the fatigue caused by incomplete recovery between sessions.
(DE) SENTRALISME KEKUASAAN: KEDUDUKAN PEMIMPIN TERHADAP KASUS RECALL DALAM KAJIAN KONSEP AHLUL HALLI WAL ‘AQDI
Authors: Rizal Lutfi Fahrul
Published: July 2019

AbstrakSeorang pemimpin merupakan perwujudan dari apa yang dipimpinnya. Maka ia pula yang menjadi ukuran keberhasilan atau tidaknya suatu keadaan yang dipimpinnya. Recall merupakan salah satu hak partai politik yang bisa dikatakan “istimewa” dewasa ini, maka dari itu boleh dikatakan bahwa 70% kekuasaan negara dimiliki oleh partai politik. Dalam kasus recall terdapat banyak permasalahan dan kontroversi, terutama menyangkut alasan, mekanisme dan penyelesaian sengketa recall. Kontroversi penyelesaian sengketa recall melalui lembaga peradilan TUN mempermasalahkan kedudukan seorang pemimpin, yang dalam hal ini adalah presiden. Sebagian kalangan mengatakan perkara recall boleh diproses di peradilan TUN dan sebagian lagi mengatakan tidak boleh dengan alasan tindakan presiden tersebut hanya bersifat pasif atau hanya sebatas “pengamin” saja, maka tidak dikatakan sebagai tindakan tata usaha negara. Hal ini cukup menarik untuk dikaji dengan memfokuskan kepada sikap seorang presiden atau pemimpin terhadap kasus recall dalam konsep Ahlul halli wal ‘aqdi.

INVESTASI BAGI HASIL DALAM EKONOMI MIKRO ISLAM
Authors: Jahidin Jahidin
Published: July 2019

AbstrakKeadilan dan kemaslahatan merupakan dasar dan tujuan dalam sistem ekonomi Islam. Sehingga ekonomi Islam mengajarkan, bahwa dalam menjalin kerja sama dalam kegiatan perekonomian tidak terjadi suatu kesenjangan, seperti halnya tidak ada salah satu pihak yang merasa dirugikan. Oleh karena itu, berkenaan dengan kerja sama dalam kegi­atan perekonomian, sistem ekonomi Islam tidak seperti sistem ekonomi konvensional. Hal ini terlihat pada salah satu bentuk kerjasama pembe­rian modal usaha, di mana sistem ekonomi kon­vensional menggunakan sistem bunga untuk mendapatkan ke­untungan dalam kerja sama terse­but, berbeda dengan sistem ekonomi Islam yang menggunakan sistem bagi hasil untuk men­dapatkan keuntungan, sehingga keuntungan yang didapat merupakan keuntungan bersama dan dibagi sesuai denga kese­pakatan bersama. Adapun model atau macam-macam investsi bagi hasil dalam ekonomi mikro Islam sangat banyak. Namun secara umum prinsip bagi hasil dalam perbankan syari'ah dapat dilakukan dalam empat akad utama yakni al-musyârakah, al-mudlârabah, al-muzâra‘ah, dan al-musâqah. Sungguhpun demikian prinsip yang paling banyak dipakai adalah al-musyârakah dan al-mudlârabah.

Penelitian dilatarbelakangi bahwa sarana prasarana pendidikan menjadi penting karena mutu pendidikan dapat ditingkatkan melalui pengadaan sarana prasarana, baik yang secara langsung maupun tidak langsung menunjang proses belajar-mengajar. Agar sarana prasarana yang ada memiliki nilai daya guna yang tinggi diperlukan pengelolaan yang jelas dan untuk itu perlunya setiap personil memiliki pengetahuan dan keterampilan dalam manajemen sarana prasarana. Penelitian ini berawal dari pemikiran bahwa keberhasilan pendidikan dalam proses belajar mengajar akan dapat tercapai dengan baik apabila memiliki sistem manajemen, salah satunya manajemen sarana prasarana. Manajemen sarana prasarana Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Zainul Millah Babakanlimus Sumedang dilakukan dengan perencanaan, pengadaan, pemeliharaan, penginventarisasian, dan penghapusan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang dilakukan bahwa Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Zainul Millah Babakanlimus Sumedang didukung oleh adanya kepercayaan masyarakat untuk menyekolahkan anaknya. Perencanaan dilakukan melalui rapat oleh kepala madrasah dengan para guru yang melibatkan komite, dan perwakilan orang tua siswa. Pengadaan sarana prasarana hasil dari perencanaan yang sebelumnya dilakukan, pengadaan tidak terlepas dari yang namanya dana. Pemeliharaan dilakukan oleh semua warga madrasah, pemeliharaan dilakukan guna menjaga sarana prasarana yang ada di madrasah. Penginventarisasian yang dilakukan dibagi ke dalam dua bagian yaitu inventaris kelas, dan inventaris sekolah. Penghapusan dilakukan dengan membuang dan tukar tambah. Faktor pendukung adalah sarana prasarana yang memadai meskipun tidak 100%. Sedangkan faktor penghambat adalah pemeliharaan yang masih kurang karena masih ada masyarakat yang mengotori fasilitas madrasah.
