Authors: Murni Murni
Published: October 2016

The purpose of this study is to determine: (1) knowing Allah as the primary basis noble character education, (2) the method to integrate knowing Allah in nurturing students with noble character, (3) the function of knowing Allah in the formation of noble character, (4) the goal of developing knowing Allah in the improvement of noble character. This study takes the form of literature studies (library research), The findings of the study indicate: (1) knowing Allah as the primary basis of noble character education, to know Allah is the obligation of every human being, as mentioned in al-Qur’an and al-Sunnah, because by knowing Allah then people will know themselves. According to al-Ghazali, a person would not be able to achieve a degree of knowing Allah before he knows himself. Thus, the ability of human to achieve the degree of knowing Allah depends on his ability to know himself. (2) Methods for the integration of noble character in coaching students. First, the coaching. Through the coaching of this character it can be seen how the Islamic attention to the development of the soul should take precedence over physical development, because in this good soul will be born good deeds that in the next step will facilitate to produce goodness and happiness to all human life, both physically and spiritually. Second, the habituation. Al-Ghazali explains that habituation method is performed by repeating the experience in doing something that leaves good impressions in the soul. Third, exemplary. Exemplary method proposed by al-Ghazali is a series of conformity with the concept of educational methods applied by other experts, both in the past and present, and this exemplary method is always relevant and actual to date as well as highly relevant to the method of Islamic education. (3) the function of knowing God in the formation of a noble character. As the science of the most high and noble rank in comparison with the knowledge that exist in this world, then this knowing Allah presumably can be a principal focus and commitment that must be understood and considered by every human being, the results will be delivered to the happiness of man, salvation, tranquility and peace of body and soul, as well as the delights and pleasures of worship to Allah. (4) The purpose of the increase of knowing Allah in the development of noble character is as a director that will direct the orientation of the life of a Muslim.

HMI was  founded on February 4, 1947, in Yogyakarta town when Indonesian nation was in the midst of struggle for defense of independent proclamation from the menace Dutch colonialism which was trying to reoccupy the country.

Several Muslim University student studying in Sekolah Tinggi Islam (STI, Islamic High School) felt inspired to establish a Muslim student organization, letter called “Himpunan Mahasiswa Islam“ (HMI, or Muslim University Student Association). One of the was Lafran Fane who was regarded the founding father of HMI. They were highly concerned over the problems of Muslim community, particularly, the Muslim University students. Also they had a  commitment to the problem facing the entire Indonesian people.

The objective of HMI was put forward first by Lafran Fane on the association oh “Persatuan Pelajar Indonesia” (PPI, or Islamic Student Union) conference held in Ponorogo, from 4th to 6th November, 1947. He declared.

As a coordination institution that called upon the student to study and comprehend the Islamic doctrine. As scholar and citizen they should have balance of duty between here and hereafter. Reason and emotion, faith and knowledge and they should be ready to face the menace originated from western education system. Islam should flourish at mass level and spread among student masses outside of the STI.

 
Effective Height of a Floor Splitter Anti-Vortex Device under Varying Flow Conditions
Authors: Kim Hyung-Jun , Park Sung Won , Rhee Dong Sop
Published: October 2016

A pump station is a very important flood control facility for mitigating inundation of urban lowland areas. It is not easy to secure a site to increase the capacity of a pump station in an urban area because of various limitations or to maximize the discharge capacity of the pump sump. Adding a facility to improve the pump capacity of a pump station may affect the flow characteristics, such as unexpected increases in the flow velocity and vorticity, and cause severe problems with operating the pump station. To solve those problems, anti-vortex devices (AVDs) have been developed and adopted for appropriate design standards. The Korean design criteria for AVDs are based on experience and foreign standards because not enough data on the AVD are available. In this study, the flow in the sump was numerically simulated at various AVD heights to collect information on improving the design and efficiency of a pump station. Consequently, an appropriate height for the AVD and changes in the flow pattern and vortex in the pump sump were determined and compared with 12 cases of inflow conditions with respect to the vertical location.
Vehicular Cloud Network and Information Security Mechanisms

Published: October 2016

This project designed a set of network security mechanisms for cloud applications in VANETs. At present, cloud computing is one of the government’s development priorities in the industry. We divide cloud into public, private, and hybrid clouds in this project. Vehicles or passengers can access road conditions or public transport information through the public cloud; public transportation can access current driving records and users can access relevant enterprise information on the private cloud and hybrid cloud is a combination of public and private clouds. Both cloud computing or VANETs require network and information security. At present, many researches on VANETs security only focus on message communication, and neglect information storage. Researches on cloud computing security only focus on information protection, and neglect user privacy and anonymity. This project designed a set of network and information security mechanisms in line with the requirements of Confidentiality, Authentication, Non-repudiation, Conditional Anonymity, and Conditional Untraceability. This project primarily needs to achieve the following: 1.an authentication mechanism to verify the identity of each other between the passenger and the vehicle and to verify the identity with Single Sign-On; 2. vehicle or user privacy and anonymity, which need to be able to replace the anonymous ID and related parameters for the vehicle or the user; 3. a private communication mechanism, which enables any vehicle or user to communicate privately; and 4. an information security encryption method, which can encrypt the information on a cloud server to avoid unauthorized access by internal personnel or hackers.
Radiation Shielding Property of Concrete Using Electric Arc Furnace Oxidizing Slag Aggregate
Authors: Lee Han-Seung , Lim Hee-Seob , Choi Jae-Seok
Published: October 2016

Electric arc furnace oxidizing slag (EAF) has a high density of 3.0~3.7 t/m3 and therefore has a high bulk density when mixed with concrete. Extensive research has been conducted on the use of concrete with high unit volume weight as heavyweight concrete for radiation shielding concrete. In this study, to examine the possibility of developing a radiation shielding concrete, the physical properties of normal concrete, magnetite concrete, EAF concrete, and EAF concrete with added iron powder, were compared. Also, their radiation shielding performance was assessed through shielding tests against X-rays and γ-rays. While the unit volume weight of EAF concrete (3.21 t/m3) appeared lower than that of magnetite concrete (3.5 t/m3), the compressive strength of EAF concrete was greater than those of magnetite and normal concretes. The radiation shielding ratio of magnetite concrete was observed to be 93.9% from the X-ray shielding test, followed by 91.2% of EAF concrete, and 73.7% of normal concrete, indicating a linear relationship with unit volume weight. From the γ-ray shielding test, the performance of EAF and magnetite concretes appeared to be similar. Based on the excellent physical properties and radiation shielding performance of EAF concrete, its potential applicability as radiation shielding concrete was confirmed.

Published: October 2016

SET protein carries out multiple functions including those for protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) inhibition, histone modification, DNA repair and gene regulation. SET overexpression has been detected in brain neurons of Alzheimer's disease patients, follicle theca cells of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) patients, and ovarian cancer cells, indicating that SET may play a pathological role for these disorders. SET transcript 2, produced by a specific promoter, represents a major transcript variant in different cell types. In this study, we characterized the transcriptional activation of human SET transcript 2 promoter in HeLa cells. Promoter deletion experiments and co-transfection assays indicated that ZFX, the Zinc finger and X-linked transcription factor, was able to transactivate the SET promoter. A proximal promoter region containing four ZFX-binding sites was found to be critical for the ZFX-mediated transactivation. Mutagenesis study indicated that the site located closest to the transcription start site accounted for most of the ZFX-mediated transactivity. Manipulation of ZFX levels by overexpression or siRNA knockdown confirmed the significance and specificity of the ZFX-mediated SET promoter activation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation results verified the binding of ZFX to its cognate site in the SET promoter. These findings have led to identification of ZFX as an upstream factor regulating SET gene expression. More studies are required to define the in vivo significance of this mechanism, and specifically, its implication for several benign and malignant diseases related to SET dysregulation.

Published: October 2016

Pardosa pseudoannulata is one of the most common wandering spiders in agricultural fields and a potentially good bioindicator for heavy metal contamination. However, little is known about the mechanism by which spiders respond to heavy metals at the molecular level. In this study, high-throughput transcriptome sequencing was employed to characterize the de novo transcriptome of the spiders and to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) after cadmium exposure. We obtained 60,489 assembled unigenes, 18,773 of which were annotated in the public databases. Ultimately, 3450 cDNA simple sequence repeats were identified and validated as potential molecular markers in the unigenes. A total of 2939, 2491 and 3759 DEGs were detected among the three libraries of two Cd-treated groups and the control. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that metabolism processes and digestive system function were predominately enriched in response to Cd stress. At the cellular and molecular levels, significantly enriched pathways in lysosomes and phagosomes as well as replication, recombination and repair demonstrated that oxidative damage resulted from Cd exposure. Based on the selected DEGs, certain critical genes involved in defence and detoxification were analysed. These results may elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying spiders' responses to heavy metal stress.
A survey on fractal dimension for fractal structures
Authors: Fernández-Martínez M.
Published: October 2016

Along the years, the foundations of Fractal Geometry have received contributions starting from mathematicians like Cantor, Peano, Hilbert, Hausdorff, Carathéodory, Sierpiński, and Besicovitch, to quote some of them. They were some of the pioneers exploring objects having self-similar patterns or showing anomalous properties with respect to standard analytic attributes. Among the new tools developed to deal with this kind of objects, fractal dimension has become one of the most applied since it constitutes a single quantity which throws useful information concerning fractal patterns on sets. Several years later, fractal structures were introduced from Asymmetric Topology to characterize self-similar symbolic spaces. Our aim in this survey is to collect several results involving distinct definitions of fractal dimension we proved jointly with Prof.M.A. Sánchez-Granero in the context of fractal structures.

Published: October 2016

Penelitian pengaruh komposisisi media dan suhu terhadap produksi konidia Beauveria bassiana dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Patologi Serangga Balai Penelitian Tanaman Tembakau dan Serat, Malang mulai Mei sampai dengan November 2009. Tujuannya adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh perbedaan komposisi media terha-dap produksi konidia B. bassiana. Perlakuan yang digunakan adalah: (1) beras, (2) jagung, (3) beras+glu-kosa, (4) beras+yeast, (5) jagung+glukosa, dan (6) jagung+yeast. Setiap perlakuan disusun dalam rancang-an acak lengkap (RAL) dengan enam kali ulangan. Parameter yang diamati adalah laju pertumbuhan dan produksi konidia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa beras dan jagung berpotensi menjadi media tumbuh yang baik bagi jamur B. bassiana. Proses pembentukan konidia sudah dimulai pada 3 minggu setelah inoku-lasi, lebih cepat dibanding pada media jagung (4,5 minggu). Penambahan yeast lebih nyata meningkatkan produksi konidia B. bassiana pada beras maupun jagung dibanding dengan penambahan glukosa. Rata-rata produksi konidia pada komposisi media beras+yeast dapat mencapai > 4,0 x 109 konidia/g media dan lebih tinggi dibanding produksi konidia pada media lainnya (< 3,0 x 109 konidia/g media).

 

Study on the effects of solid medium composition and temperature on conidia production of B. bassiana was conducted at Insect Pathology Laboratory of Indonesian Tobacco and Fiber Crops Institute (IToFCRI), Malang from May to November 2009. The objective of the study was to find out the effects of different me-dium composition. Treatments used were (1) whole rice, (2) broken maize, (3) whole rice+glucose, (4) whole rice+yeast, (5) broken maize+glucose, and (6) broken maize+yeast. Each treatment was arranged in randomized complete design (RCD) with six replications. Parameters observed were growth rate and conidial production of B. bassiana at room temperature. Results showed that whole rice and broken maize could be used as solid medium for B. bassiana. Conidia production was faster on most of medium based on whole rice than that on broken maize. On whole rice medium conidia of B. bassiana were produced about 10 days earlier than that on broken maize. Yeast and glucose addition into medium was able to speed up the fungi growth and to increase conidia production. Addition of yeast potentialy increased conidia production com-pared with other medium with glucose addition. Average production of conidia on whole rice+yeast was more than 4,0 x 109 conidia/g medium compared with any other medium composition that produced less than 3,0 x 109 conidia/g medium.

Assessing variations in foreign direct investments under international financial reporting standards (IFRS) adoption, macro-socioeconomic developments and credit ratings
Authors: Daskalopoulos Evangelos , Evgenidis Anastasios , Tsagkanos Athanasios , Siriopoulos Costas
Published: October 2016

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of an endogenous relationship between international financial reporting standards (IFRS) and sovereign credit ratings on the factors that determine foreign direct investments, by using an instrumental variable panel data framework. The results show that the adoption of IFRS by developed economies is interpreted by credit rating agencies as a positive sign that the firms will provide more transparent financial reports. In addition, the authors find that the consideration of the endogenous relationship between IFRS and credit ratings for developed economies highlights the importance of some variables that was not evident previously such as the degree of corruption and the educational level. Finally, the authors suggest that foreign direct investments are more easily attracted when one considers a joint factor which captures people’s perceptions about the ability of the government to implement policy and regulations that promote the development of public and private sector.

Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a momentum indicator to determine the indication of the trend reversal point. Williams% Range is also a momentum indicator that can provide when reversal trend will occur. This analysis will use the data movement of stock prices for PT Tambang Coal Bukit Asam Tbk. (PTBA). PTBA stock prices are influenced by fundamental conditions such as limited supply of fuel which is rumored and coal is the main alternative fuels other than oil. Study period was 241 trade days. Data are analyzed in several periods and then fitted with the MACD indicator and Williams % R, then simulate the trade during the period of research studies to determine the level of trading profits or losses based on the combination of both these technical indicators. The conclusion of this analysis, the MACD is an indicator that is considered slow (lagging) in giving an indication of weakness, but in reverse the MACD is considered to provide an accurate indication of where the indication given is rarely wrong. Williams% R is an rapid indicator in anticipation of a reversal trend, but these indicators often give a false indication since this indicator is quite sensitive to the movement of stock prices goings go up or down.
