PENINGKATAN MINAT DAN PRESTASI BELAJAR AL- QUR’AN DENGAN METODE DAN BAHAN AJAR IQRO’ BRAILLE PADA SISWA KELAS III SDLB–A YEKETUNIS YOGYAKARTA
Authors: Hindatulatifah Hindatulatifah
Published: April 2018

The success rate of reading the Qur'an for students with visual impairment depends on the level of sensitivity of students. Braille Qur'an learning method that is applied so far is qowa'idulimla' (dictation) that emphasizes writing skills but less able to explore the ability to read. To overcome these problems need appropriate learning strategies and media and teaching materials in form of Arabic Braille writing. This research is a classroom action research by taking the form of collaborative research conducted in two cycles. Subjects in this study were students of grade III SDLB-A Yaketunis. Results showed that application of teaching materials iqro 'Braille  can increase students' learning interest in learning the Braille Qur'an. Pre action results that show 68.75% (medium category), in the first cycle increased to 87.08% (high category), and in cycle II increased again to 90% (high category). Implementation of teaching materials Iqro 'Braille also improve Achievement of Learning PAI. This is seen from scores of learning achievement on pre-action and post action.
Video Content Marketing: The Making of Clips
Authors: Liu Xuan , Shi Savannah Wei , Teixeira Thales , Wedel Michel
Published: April 2018

Consumers have an increasingly wide variety of options available to entertain themselves. This poses a challenge for content aggregators who want to effectively promote their video content online through original trailers of movies, sitcoms, and video games. Marketers are now trying to produce much shorter video clips to promote their content on a variety of digital channels. This research is the first to propose an approach to produce such clips and to study their effectiveness, focusing on comedy movies as an application. Web-based facial-expression tracking is used to study viewers’ real-time emotional responses when watching comedy movie trailers online. These data are used to predict both viewers’ intentions to watch the movie and the movie's box office success. The authors then propose an optimization procedure for cutting scenes from trailers to produce clips and test it in an online experiment and in a field experiment. The results provide evidence that the production of short clips using the proposed methodology can be an effective tool to market movies and other online content.
In-Store Mobile Phone Use and Customer Shopping Behavior: Evidence from the Field
Authors: Grewal Dhruv , Ahlbom Carl-Philip , Beitelspacher Lauren , Noble Stephanie M. , Nordfält Jens
Published: April 2018

This research examines consumers’ general in-store mobile phone use and shopping behavior. Anecdotal evidence has suggested that mobile phone use decreases point-of-purchase sales, but the results of the current study indicate instead that it can increase purchases overall. Using eye-tracking technology in both a field study and a field experiment, matched with sales receipts and survey responses, the authors show that mobile phone use (vs. nonuse) and actual mobile phone use patterns both lead to increased purchases, because consumers divert from their conventional shopping loop, spend more time in the store, and spend more time examining products and prices on shelves. Building on attention capacity theories, this study proposes and demonstrates that the underlying mechanism for these effects is distraction. This article also provides some insights into boundary conditions of the mobile phone use effect.

On the quantum periods of del Pezzo surfaces with ⅓ (1, 1) singularities
Authors: Oneto Alessandro , Petracci Andrea
Published: April 2018

In earlier joint work with collaborators we gave a conjectural classification of a broad class of orbifold del Pezzo surfaces, using Mirror Symmetry. We proposed that del Pezzo surfacesXwith isolated cyclic quotient singularities such thatXadmits a ℚ-Gorenstein toric degeneration correspond via Mirror Symmetry to maximally mutable Laurent polynomialsfin two variables, and that the quantum period of such a surfaceX, which is a generating function for Gromov–Witten invariants ofX, coincides with the classical period of its mirror partnerf.

In this paper we give strong evidence for this conjecture. Contingent on conjectural generalisations of the Quantum Lefschetz theorem and the Abelian/non-Abelian correspondence, we compute many quantum periods for del Pezzo surfaces with13$\begin{array}{} \frac{1}{3} \end{array} $(1, 1) singularities. Our computations also give strong evidence for the extension of these two principles to the orbifold setting.

Performing Democracy
Authors: Robson Mark
Published: April 2018

The debate about the relationship between theatre and democracy rests on a presumption that both the artform and the political form share an intertwined history, based in their co-appearance in Greece. Equally well-known is the antagonism towards both theatre and democracy that emerges at the same moment, most clearly found in Plato. This essay revisits this history in order to set up an examination of two contemporary theatre performances that explicitly raise the relationship of democracy and theatre, the British company Punchdrunk’sThe Drowned Manand the Belgian company Ontroerend Goed’sFight Night. Both, in very different ways, approach democracy through a focus on audience experience. How, then, might these productions be read in terms of a democracy-to-come and a theatre-to-come?

Socratic Elenchus in the Sophist
Authors: Zaks Nicolas
Published: April 2018

This paper demonstrates the central role of the Socratic elenchus in the Sophist. In the first part, I defend the position that the Stranger describes the Socratic elenchus in the sixth division of the Sophist. In the second part, I show that the Socratic elenchus is actually used when the Stranger scrutinizes the accounts of being put forward by his predecessors. In the final part, I explain the function of the Socratic elenchus in the argument of the dialogue. By contrast with standard scholarly interpretations, this way of reading the text provides all the puzzles about being (241c4–251a4) with a definite function in the dialogue. It also reveals that Plato’s methodology includes a plurality of method and is more continuous than what is often believed.

Published: April 2018

In der Debatte um demografischen Wandel und Fachkräftemangel wurden die mit Einfacharbeit und alternden Belegschaften verbundenen Herausforderungen bislang kaum in den Blick genommen. Hinweise in der Forschungsliteratur zeigen jedoch, dass in diesem bislang vernachlässigten Themenfeld sowohl auf Seiten der Unternehmen als auch auf Seiten der Forschung Handlungsbedarf besteht. Der vorliegende Beitrag legt den aktuellen Stand der Forschung zu Einfacharbeit und alternden Belegschaften dar und diskutiert auf der Grundlage einer qualitativen empirischen Studie unter Personalverantwortlichen in Unternehmen und Expertinnen und Experten in der Schweiz die Belastungen für die Beschäftigten, die betrieblichen Herausforderungen und deren Reaktion darauf. In der Studie hat sich gezeigt, dass die Personalverantwortlichen in Unternehmen insbesondere physische Belastungen als Herausforderungen in Bezug auf Einfacharbeit und alternde Belegschaften identifizieren. Die betrieblichen Maßnahmen, mit denen darauf reagiert wird, sind meist reaktiv und individuell. Systematische Aktivitäten in Bezug auf den Umgang mit altersbedingten Herausforderungen in Einfacharbeit, insbesondere bezüglich Qualifikation und Alter, wurden hingegen kaum identifiziert.
Der Einfluss der Eltern auf die Realisierung beruflicher Ziele von Jugendlichen

Published: April 2018

Die vorliegende Studie befasst sich mit der Frage, welchen Einfluss die soziale Unterstützung der Eltern auf die Realisierung der beruflichen Ziele von Jugendlichen beim Übergang von der Schule in die Berufsausbildung hat. Die Geschlechtstypik des angestrebten Berufs wird als bedeutsame strukturelle Hürde analysiert. Die multivariaten Längsschnittanalysen mit Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels ergeben, dass Frauen seltener den Wunschberuf realisieren, wenn sie einen Beruf mit einem hohen Männeranteil anstreben. Die Ergebnisse zeigen zudem nur in der Beziehung zwischen Vater und Tochter signifikante Einflüsse auf die Realisierungschancen des Berufswunsches.
Narrating the Past and the Future: The Position of the religions orientales and the mystères païens in the Evolutionary Histories of Religion of Franz Cumont and Alfred Loisy
Authors: Lannoy Annelies , Bonnet Corinne
Published: April 2018

In their grand narratives on the ancient history of religions, the Belgian historian of religions, Franz Cumont (1868 – 1947) and his French colleague and correspondent, Alfred Loisy (1857 – 1940) both assigned a prominent place to the so-called pagan mystery religions. This paper seeks to identify the specific theories of religion and the deeper motivations underpinning Cumont’s and Loisy’s historiographical construction of the mystery cults as a distinct type of religion within their evolutionary accounts of the history of religions. Through a comparative analysis of their rich correspondence (1908 – 1940) and a selection of their publications, we demonstrate how their historical studies of the religious transformations in the Roman Empire, their in-depth dialogues in the troubled times in which they lived, and their philosophical views on the overall history and future of religion, were in fact mutually constitutive.
Anthropomorphism, Theatre, Epiphany: From Herodotus to Hellenistic Historians
Authors: Koch Piettre Renée
Published: April 2018

This paper argues that, beginning with the Euripidean deus ex machina, dramatic festivals introduced a new standard into epiphanic rituals and experience. Through the scenic double énonciation, gods are seen by mythical heroes as gods, but by the Athenian spectators as costumed actors and fictive entities. People could scarcely believe these were ‘real’ gods, but would have no doubt been impressed by the scenic machinery. Thus the Homeric theme of a hero’s likeness to the gods developed into the Hellenistic theme of the godlike ruler’s (or actor’s) theatrical success (or deceit). So in the Athenians’ Hymn to Demetrius Poliorcetes, a victorious ruler entering a city is welcomed as a better god than the gods themselves. The simultaneous rise in popularity of paradoxical stories and experiences in the Hellenistic period was grounded not in believing, but in disbelieving – a phenomenon associated with antiquarian interests, the self-publicity of religious sanctuaries, or amazed credulity. People were increasingly drawn to ‘real’ gods, leading to long pilgrimages and extensive financial outlay (in the mysteries) in order to see them. I investigate this phenomenon by focusing upon fragments of the ‘mimetic’ or ‘tragic’ Greek historians that survive from this period.
Martin P:n Nilsson und die Wiederbesetzung des Lehrstuhls für klassische Philologie in Heidelberg 1924/1925
Authors: Dürkop Martina
Published: April 2018

The correspondence between Otto Weinreich and Martin Persson Nilsson suggests that Nilsson was to be appointed to the chair of Classical Philology in Heidelberg in winter 1924 – 1925. But we do not find any official papers at the Ministry of Culture or at the University of Heidelberg. So we ask why the university should offer a chair to this worldwide renowned scientist. Was he to breathe new life into religious studies or was he simply meant as a figurehead who opens the door of return to international collaboration? Since valuable documents are missing, we trust in letters filling the gap in our knowledge of this appointment.

This study assessed the constraints faced by commercial poultry farmers in waste management practices in Kogi and Kwara States, Nigeria. A structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from randomly selected 138 and 125 registered commercial poultry farmers from both states, giving a total sample size of 263 for the study. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data for the study. Results of analysis showed that mean age was 46.7 years, farm size was 991 birds and poultry farming experience was 11 years. Also, majority were male (82.0 %), married (88.8 %), had tertiary education (94.0 %). Mean age of farm was 9 years. Poultry dropping was the most (mean = 2.36) generated waste in the study area. The most prevalent waste management methods used by poultry farmers were open dumping around the farm (mean = 2.23), giving wastes free to the public as farmyard manure (mean = 2.16), poultry wastes are dumped in a nearby bush (mean = 2.09), dead birds are buried in a pit near the farm (mean = 2.08), dead birds are thrown into a nearby bush (mean = 2.01) and dead birds are burnt inside a pit or in a heap near the farm (mean = 2.01). The major constraints faced by farmers in waste management practices were lack of awareness on how to use the wastes productively (mean = 4.06), no agricultural land nearby where wastes can be used (mean = 3.69), excessive odour from waste (mean = 3.66), high cost of chemical treatment (mean = 3.56), high transportation cost (mean = 3.24) and high cost of private waste management agencies (mean = 3.01). Results of Multiple Regression Analysis show that poultry wastes used as farm yard manure, burnt and buried in a pit, sun-dried and burnt and given freely to interested farm workers had inverse significant relationship to constraints while dumping of poultry wastes around the farm, nearby bush and to animals such as dogs had positive significant relationship to constraints faced by respondents in waste management. The study concluded that the level of constraints faced by commercial poultry farmers in waste management practices was high (mean = 3.39) in the study area. The study recommends among others the needs for existing poultry farmers association to include programmes that will enlighten members on poultry waste management practices that will not have negative effect upon their birds and the environments.

Published: April 2018

This paper presents a new generalized dynamic observer (GDO) for quasi-linear parameter varying (LPV) systems. It generalises the structures of the proportional observer (PO) and proportional integral observer (PIO). The design of the GDO is derived from the solution of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and the solution of the algebraic constraints obtained from the estimation error analysis. The efficiency of the proposed approach is illustrated by a numerical example.
Comparative studies on variability, phylogenesis, and correlated mutations of neuraminidases from influenza virus type A
Authors: Filip Rafał , Leluk Jacek
Published: April 2018

Neuraminidase (NA) is an important protein for the replication cycle of influenza A viruses. NA is an enzyme that cleaves the sialic acid receptors; this process plays a significant role in viral life cycle. Blocking NA with a specific inhibitor is an effective way to treat the flu. However, some strains show resistance to current drugs. Therefore, NA is the focus for the intense research for new antiviral drugs and also for the explanation of the functions of new mutations. This research focuses on determining the profile of variability and phylogenetic analysis and finding the correlated mutations within a set of 149 sequences of NA belonging to various strains of influenza A virus. In this study, we have used the original programs (Corm, Consensus Constructor, and SSSSg) and also other bioinformatics software. NA proteins are characterized by various levels of variability in different regions, which was presented in detail with the aid of ConSurf. The use of four independent methods to create the phylogenetic trees gave some new data on the evolutionary relationship within the NA family proteins. The search for correlated mutations shows several potentially important correlated positions that were not reported previously to be significant. The use of such an approach can be potentially important and gives new information regarding NA proteins of influenza A virus.

The goal of the research described in the article was to develop the device for the automatic scarification of acorns and computer vision-based assessment of their viability. The color image of the intersection of the tissue of cotyledons was selected as a key feature for separating healthy seeds from the spoiled ones. Because the device is being designed for the diagnosis of high volume of seeds aiming at producing high-quality seedlings, several assessment criteria of the overall design of the automaton are being assessed. The basic one is the overall accuracy of viability recognition. The other refers to particular functions implemented in the model of the device being described.

Potential Parenthood and Career Progression of Men and Women – A Simultaneous Hazards Approach
Authors: Biewen Martin , Seifert Stefanie
Published: April 2018

We analyze individual career transitions of men and women in Germany. Our particular focus is on the association of upward, downward and horizontal job changes with individual fertility. In contrast to most of the literature, we focus on potential rather than realized fertility. Based on mixed multivariate proportional hazard models with competing risks, we find a significant negative relationship between the contemporaneous probability of having a child and horizontal career transitions for women and a positive significant association of the hazard of parenthood with upward career transitions for men. These effects persist when we apply fixed-effects panel data models allowing for correlation of individual parenthood hazards with unobserved individual characteristics. Our results suggest clear gender differences in the relationship between career patterns and potential fertility.
Bibliothek im Wandel: Die (Weiter-)Entwicklung der Bereichsbibliothek Medizin der SUB Göttingen als Lern-, Arbeits- und Kommunikationsort von 2013 bis heute
Authors: Härter Dagmar
Published: April 2018

Der digitale Wandel und das veränderte Nutzerverhalten stellen Bibliotheken schon seit längerer Zeit vor völlig neue Herausforderungen. Traditionelle Arbeits- und Aufgabenbereiche verlieren an Bedeutung bzw. entfallen, dafür kommen andere Tätigkeiten hinzu, auf die das Personal teilweise erst vorbereitet werden muss. Wie man es mit einem immer kleiner werdenden Mitarbeiterpool dennoch schaffen kann, die Bibliothek weiterhin als attraktiven Lern-, Arbeits- und Kommunikationsort zu erhalten und auszubauen, zeigt dieser Erfahrungsbericht exemplarisch am Beispiel der Bereichsbibliothek Medizin in Göttingen.
Interpunktion und Textsegmentierung im frühen deutschsprachigen Prosaroman
Authors: Voeste Anja
Published: April 2018

On the threshold of the sixteenth century, publishers met the demands of a ready market: They provided a selection of German prose novels and adapted their publications to a broader, less homogeneous readership. Against this backdrop, the article discusses the still evolving system of segmentation (primarily punctuation). When punctuation was inserted into a text, it might have been the typesetter’s task to work out a system of usage. The typesetters reacted to this new challenge by using several, even contradicting principles in a bottom-up-process ofbricolage: They separated prosodic, semantic, syntactic or memory units while simultaneously considering aesthetic demands (justification).
abbreviatio
Authors: Frick Julia
Published: April 2018

Apart from a few exceptions, abridged versions of courtly epics have not yet been of great interest to mainstream research. Yet, they represent a historical literary phenomenon that documents an independent type of courtly narrative from the very beginnings of the genre. The simultaneous narrative schemes they feature can be traced to contemporary Latin poetics, in which the expansion (amplificatio) and abridging (abbreviatio) of material are described as two basic techniques used in the process of adapting narrative texts. This article presents some initial observations on the elaboration of brevitas poetics, which could offer a complete overview of the courtly epic of the 13th century.

Published: April 2018

Tea saponins, extracted from a Camellia oleifera cake, were found to have a potent effect on de-alcoholic activity. To obtain highly pure tea saponins, which can better maintain the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), this paper presents an extraction method for tea saponins using deionized water as the extraction agent and a two-stage precipitation method, including ethanol precipitation and CaO precipitation. The optimum conditions for ethanol precipitation were 95% alcohol, a duration of 1.5h and a solid/liquid ratio of 1:4; while the optimum conditions for CaO precipitation were a duration of 2h and an NH4HCO3/CaO ratio of 2:1. Under the optimum conditions, the content of saponins was 87.58%. The results showed that the greater the amount of tea saponins and the higher its purity, the more significant its activating effect on ADH. When the purity of tea saponins was above 75%, it activated ADH. It indicated that the de-alcoholic mechanism of tea saponins is associated with the activity of ADH. Furthermore, the study characterized the structure of tea saponins by UV absorption and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometry and LC-MS.
Secretion of full-length Tau or Tau fragments in cell culture models. Propagation of Tau in vivo and in vitro
Authors: Pérez Mar , Medina Miguel , Hernández Félix , Avila Jesús
Published: April 2018

The microtubule-associated protein Tau plays a crucial role in stabilizing neuronal microtubules. In Tauopathies, Tau loses its ability to bind microtubules, detach from them and forms intracellular aggregates. Increasing evidence in recent years supports the notion that Tau pathology spreading throughout the brain in AD and other Tauopathies is the consequence of the propagation of specific Tau species along neuroanatomically connected brain regions in a so-called “prion-like” manner. A number of steps are assumed to be involved in this process, including secretion, cellular uptake, transcellular transfer and/or seeding, although the precise mechanisms underlying propagation of Tau pathology are not fully understood yet. This review summarizes recent evidence on the nature of the specific Tau species that are propagated and the different mechanisms of Tau pathology spreading.
A Technology Acceptance Model of common bean growers’ intention to adopt Integrated Production in the Brazilian Central Region
Authors: Silva Aluisio Goulart , Canavari Maurizio , Sidali Katia Laura
Published: April 2018

The Brazilian government encouraged the Integrated Production (IP) farming system adoption to mitigate the negative environmental impacts of intensive bean production in irrigated areas of the Brazilian savanna. By ensuring food-safety and the use of sustainable agricultural practices, IP may strengthen national agriculture competitiveness. Regardless of the government efforts to promote IP in the main agricultural regions and among the largest food growers, only few slowly adopted it. Therefore, studying the process of technology adoption is important to identify possible problems that could affect adoption and diffusion of this farming system. We applied a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to explain the adoption and use of IP by the common beans growers from one of the most important bean production regions in Brazil. Ninety-three interviews were administered to different actors involved in beans production. A Structural Equation Model (SEM) following a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to identify the relationship between factors. The findings suggest that respondents have positive perceptions toward adopting IP. Perceived usefulness has a positive impact on attitude, and attitudes affect behavioral intention. However, the proposed model only partially explains IP adoption intentions.

Continuous and intensive selective breeding reduces the genetic diversity of cultivated Pyropia stock, thereby increasing its susceptibility to diseases, and hindering the sustainable development of the Pyropia industry. To develop new Pyropia germplasms with desirable agronomic traits, a new Pyropia yezoensis strain, “Huangyou No. 1” was bred from a wild subtidal population. In this study, the genetic diversity of this strain was analyzed using AFLP. Totally, 249 loci were obtained, of which 248 were polymorphic with a polymorphism rate of 99.6%, using seven primer pairs. The intra-population polymorphism rates of the populations Wild 1 and Wild 2 were the highest (47.39% and 59.44%, respectively), while they were relatively low (20.88–24.5%) in the cultivated populations. The genetic distances between the breeding Pyropia populations cultivated in the same aquaculture farm were low. Specifically, the F2 offspring of “Huangyou No. 1” and the control cultivar, cultivated using the “never-drying” protocol, were genetically distant from the other populations, including that from the same seedlings, yet cultivated using the “periodic-drying” protocol. The never-drying cultivation protocol had a high likelihood of influencing genetic diversity of Pyropia yezoensis.
Loss of mass and performance in skeletal muscle tissue: a continuum model
Authors: Giantesio Giulia , Marzocchi Alfredo , Musesti Alessandro
Published: April 2018

We present a continuum hyperelastic model which describes the mechanical response of a skeletal muscle tissue when its strength and mass are reduced by aging. Such a reduction is typical of a geriatric syndrome called sarcopenia. The passive behavior of the material is described by a hyperelastic, polyconvex, transversely isotropic strain energy function, and the activation of the muscle is modeled by the so called active strain approach. The loss of ability of activating of an elder muscle is then obtained by lowering of some percentage the active part of the stress, while the loss of mass is modeled through a multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient. The obtained stress-strain relations are graphically represented and discussed in order to study some of the effects of sarcopenia.
