Authors: Akhter Nasrin , Khan Abdul Majeed , Naseer Ud Din Muhammad
Published: January 2020

The study examines high school Students’ Perceptions and challenges in learning Physics regarding Field Dependency. Physics is often represented as being abstract and unrelated to the real-life subject. Field Independent students gain higher than the Field Dependent students as hat independent students’ confidence and understanding are higher than dependent students. The study uses a survey with samples of students drawn from both Urdu and English medium from rural and urban higher secondary schools (N = 500). Firstly, a survey questionnaire for perceptions and challenges in Physics learning and second test for Level of Field Dependency of Johnstone experiment test which is also known as group embedded figure test. Field dependency shows high mean value represents the outcome that mostly students are field dependent. Female students’ ratio is exceeded than male students because of the current pattern of education.

Authors: Arif Anas Mahmud , Ullah Shakir , Samad Abdul
Published: January 2020

Tourism being one of the greatest and fastest growing industries of the world is contributing significantly to the development of countries and the host communities. But this industry is facing many problems in most of the developing countries including Pakistan. Most of the issues are raised due to lack of planning which not only dissatisfies the tourists but also has negative impacts on the local communities. Unplanned tourism not only affects the host guest relationship but also the tourism resources of an area. The study in hand is author’s part of PhD research and highlights the problems of host regions caused by tourism in Pakistan, taking Kaghan valley as case study. The results of the study show that if proper measures are not taken well in time, the unplanned tourism will destroy the natural and socio-cultural environment of the valley very soon.

Published: January 2020

In todays modern globalized world, the power and impact of media in different aspects of human life are universally acknowledged. The elements of feminism in media have been widely researched in the past, but, how feminist ideas are portrayed in childrens media largely remains unexplored. The aim of this research is to explore the presentation of feminist concepts, notions, and ideas in a specific genre of childrens media – animations – through verbal and non-verbal language including verbal discourse, expressions, and overall communicative symbolism. The sample of the study consists of fourteen famous animations which are selected through purposive sampling. The results reveal that the feminist ideas and concepts presented deal with the empowerment and liberation of women, and hinted towards real-life womens issues such as education, adolescence, abuse, oppression, gender equality in work and employment, personal choice and other political, social and economic issues rather than presenting stereotypical image of women.

Authors: Khan Munir , Khan Iqbal Amin , Naseer ud Din Mohammad
Published: January 2020

The current study assessed the leadership roles of secondary school heads in Kohat division (SSHKD). The study used a quantitative research design for examining whether principals and teachers interpreted leadership roles differently and whether gender and age have any effect on leadership role of principals or not. A random sample of 60 secondary school principals and 120 Senior School Teachers (S.S.T) from 03 districts of Kohat Division participated in the study. It was found that both teachers and heads perceived that school heads perform their leadership roles effectively and efficiently. However, performing leadership roles by male and female heads viewed differently. Female principals viewed that they perform leadership roles efficiently as compare to their male counterparts. No significant differences were found in the perceptions of principals when compared regarding age. The study recommends preservice training programs for principals after their selection.

Authors: Sami Ur Rehman  , Haider Syed Zubair , Najam Ul Kashif
Published: January 2020

Religion has been considered as an outline for the sense of meaning and purpose. This research explores the effect of secondary school students religiosity & Spirituality on their future orientation in Punjab. This research seeks an answer to the contribution of students religious affiliation (fellowship with Islam, Christianity or Hinduism) and religiosity (Faith-based Coping (FBC) and Religious Social Support (RSS)) and FO. A total of 296 Muslims, 290 Christians, and 278 Hindu students participated in this research. Religiosity and Spirituality scale for Youth (RaSSY) developed by Brittany (2011) was adopted, while Future Orientation Scale (FOS) for measuring Future Vision towards Subject Choice and Future Vision towards Profession Choice was developed by researchers. The research concludes that students religiosity has a significant impact on their future orientation (FO). The religiosity moderately explains variances in FO of Muslims and Christians; however, it has a high impact on Hindu students in Punjab
Effect of parental attributes on the locus of control of secondary school students
Authors: Siddiquah Aishah , Kalsoom Tahira , Nader Moafia
Published: January 2020

This study explores how parental attributes including parental education, occupation and the type of parental interaction affect different types of LoC of secondary school students. A total of 520 students were selected as participants of the study. Brown Locus of Control Scale (BLOCS) was the instrument of the study. ANOVA and t-test were used to explore the differences in LoC of students with different parental attributes. Results showed that internality was significantly more in students who moderately share their feelings with mothers. Other externality was significantly more in students whose fathers were businessmen than in students whose fathers were employees or laborers, and in students who completely or moderately share their feelings with their mothers than those who do not share their feelings with their mothers. External social LoC of students with less mother education (elementary and graduation) was significantly higher than the students with higher (postgraduation) mother education.
The major pre-Mississippian unconformity in Rock Canyon, central Wasatch Range, Utah
Authors: Clark David , Derenthal Drew , Kowallis Bart , Ritter Scott
Published: January 2020

In central Utah, the major pre-Mississippian unconformity is fairly well understood at most of the localities where it is recognized. However, the unconformity is more enigmatic in Rock Canyon of the central Wasatch Range. At this locality, dolomitization of most pre-Mississippian rocks obscures stratigraphic identification of Devonian and older units. The absence of any identifiable angular relationship further complicates resolution. Because of this, both identification of the stratigraphic level of the unconformity and, consequently, its magnitude remain controversial. Large-size dolomite samples taken in Rock Canyon at closely spaced intervals for the 3.6-m directly below definite Upper Devonian rocks yield microfossils, including conodonts, in the uppermost 1.6-m of that interval that indicate no unconformity exists between the Cambrian Maxfield Limestone and the Upper Devonian-Lower Mississippian Fitchville Dolomite at the horizon previously identified as unconformable. Rather, an unknown thickness of dolomitized Upper Devonian Pinyon Peak Formation and probable older rock (possibly Bluebell Dolomite and Victoria Formation) occurs between the top of definite Maxfield and base of the Fitchville. The identification of the unconformity horizon remains unknown. Our preliminary work outlines a promising procedure for future understanding of the magnitude and stratigraphic level of the unconformity.
The Lower Cretaceous in east-central Utah—The Cedar Mountain Formation and its bounding strata
Authors: Kirkland James , Suarez Marina , Suarez Celina , Hunt-Foster ReBecca
Published: January 2020

Although only recognized as a discrete stratigraphic unit since 1944, the Cedar Mountain Formation represents tens of millions of years of geological and biological history on the central Colorado Plateau. This field guide represents an attempt to pull together the results of recent research on the lithostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, and biostratigraphy of these medial Mesozoic strata that document the dynamic and complex geological history of this region. Additionally, these data provide a framework by which to examine the history of terrestrial faunas during the final breakup of Pangaea. In fact, the medial Mesozoic faunal record of eastern Utah should be considered a keystone in understanding the history of life across the northern hemisphere. Following a period of erosion and sediment bypass spanning the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary, sedimentation across the quiescent Colorado Plateau began during the Early Cretaceous. Thickening of these basal Cretaceous strata across the northern Paradox Basin indicate that salt tectonics may have been the predominant control on deposition in this region leading to the local preservation of fossiliferous strata, while sediment bypass continued elsewhere. Thickening of overlying Aptian strata west across the San Rafael Swell provides direct evidence of the earliest development of a foreland basin with Sevier thrusting that postdates geochemical evidence for the initial development of a rain shadow.
Major bonebeds in mudrocks of the Morrison Formation (Upper Jurassic), northern Colorado Plateau of Utah and Colorado
Authors: Foster John , McHugh Julia , Peterson Joseph , Leschin Michael
Published: January 2020

The Morrison Formation contains a number of large quarries that have yielded dinosaurs and other vertebrates, and many of these occur in sandstone beds representing ancient river channels. However, a number of very productive sites occur in mudstone beds representing other environments such as ephemeral ponds, and some of these yield both large dinosaurs and microvertebrates; these localities in mudstone beds represent different taphonomic modes of preservation and often preserve vertebrate taxa in different relative abundances from the channel sandstone sites. Among these important and very productive mudstone localities are the Cleveland-Lloyd Quarry, the Mygatt-Moore Quarry, and the microvertebrate sites of the Fruita Paleontological Area, and each of these preserves distinct vertebrate paleofaunas, different from sandstone sites and from each other, suggesting that mudstone localities had a very different mode of sampling the local biotas than did sites in sandstone.
Source within the seal—Distribution and implications of organic shale-bearing stringers within the Onion Creek diapir, northern Paradox Basin, Utah
Authors: Hudson Samuel , Tuttle Trevor , Wood Matthew
Published: January 2020

The Onion Creek diapir is one of the best exposures of a dissected salt diapir in the world, offering a unique opportunity to better understand the internal character of heterolithic diapirs that are common in sedimentary basins worldwide. Large amounts of interbedded shale, carbonate, and evaporites are incorporated into the diapir as stringers or boudins, and excellent three-dimensional exposure allows us to document the nature, size, deformation, and distribution of these stringers. Blocks range in size from single, disaggregated layers of dolomite to several meters of coherent stringers that contain multiple cycles of dolomite- shale-evaporite and are upwards of 20 m thick and more than 100 m in observed length. The largest blocks are most commonly located along the margins of the exposed diapir, though stringers are common throughout the exposed caprock. In areas devoid of large stringers, there is more extensive deformation of the gypsum caprock, suggesting that the presence of stringers leads to a more heterolithic distribution of stress within the salt as it diapirically rises. These observations can help to better characterize similar diapirs elsewhere that are not well exposed at the surface. Black shale is present in all observed large stringers of the Onion Creek diapir. These shale beds are interpreted to have been deposited in a shallow, restricted marginal marine environment along with the interbedded carbonate and evaporite strata. Pyrolysis analysis of 13 samples from within the stringers shows a range of 2.56 to 60.22% total organic carbon (TOC), with an average value of 16.93%. These strata contain Type I/Type II hydrocarbon source facies, consistent with a restricted shallow marine environment. Tmax data suggest that these source rock facies have been exposed to sufficient thermal energy to generate hydrocarbons (average = 437o C), as evidenced by common hydrocarbon staining of intra-stringer carbonate strata and evaporite beds surrounding the stringers. Twelve additional samples were collected from these stained strata and pyrolysis analysis shows that all are enriched in free oil, as shown by elevated S1 peaks, high production index ratios, and TOC values of 0.64 to 1.66%. This hydrocarbon staining is found around stringers near the center of the exposed caprock, as well as stringers along the margins. Near the margins in particular, extensive alteration can be seen across tens of meters of evaporitic strata, showing that hydrocarbons are effectively generating within and migrating away from stringers fully encased in the anhydrite caprock of the Onion Creek diapir. This has important implications for potential seal integrity of diapiric caprocks, as well as providing a potential mechanism for caprock carbonate formation suggested by other researchers.
Revitalizacija antičke i srednjovjekovne filozofije u mišljenju Josefa Piepera
Authors: Mijatović Franjo
Published: January 2020

U ovom članku pokušat će se izložiti temeljni smisao i značenje filozofiranja, točnije filozofijskoga čina, kršćanskoga mislioca Josefa Piepera. Razlog za ponovnu revitalizaciju antičke i srednjovjekovne filozofije Pieper vidi u mogućnosti jednoga daleko širega shvaćanja cjeline svijeta koje se tiče čitavoga bitka u svoj njegovoj (ne)pojavnosti. Dok su se u suvremenoj filozofiji vodile rasprave oko istine između hermeneutičke i analitčke filozofije, Pieper ostaje vjeran svojim antičkim i srednjovjekovnim učiteljima, osobito Platonu i Akvinskomu. Iako je njegova misao duboko prožeta mišlju navedene dvojice, ona se ni u kojem slučaju, što je uostalom i cilj ovoga rada, ne ograničava na puko ponavljanje ili kompilaciju davno rečenoga. U tom smislu Pieper tvrdi da bi tradicija, na primjer ona platonovska i tomistička, mogla biti primjer svim drugim tradicijama te poslužiti kao stvarni model ljudskoga racionalnoga filozofijskoga istraživanja, filozofiranja kao mogućnosti božansko-ljudskoga događanja u potrazi za istinom.
Strategije uljudnosti
i neuljudnosti u ostavštini na turskom jeziku svećenika Gjure Adama Büttnera
Authors: Andrić Marta
Published: January 2020

Gjuro Adam Büttner rođen je u Sommerachu 1714. godine i bio je svećenik biskupije Würzburg. Od 1744. do 1779. godine bio je svećenik Srijemske biskupije i prvi dijecezanski župnik u Zemunu nakon oslobođenja od Turaka. Njegova rukopisna ostavština na turskom jeziku pronađena je u knjižnici Đakovačko-osječke nadbiskupije. Ona se sastoji od jednoga njemačko-turskoga rječnika (128 stranica) te nekoliko manjih listića i sveščića posvećenih filološkim i vjersko-didaktičkim temama. Svrha cijele ostavštine bio je misionarski i pastoralni rad, jer se Zemun tijekom Büttnerova župnikovanja nalazio na granici Habsburške Monarhije i Osmanskoga Carstva. Analiza fonološke, morfološke i sintaktičke razine Büttnerova turskoga jezika pokazala je da je Büttner dobro poznavao turski i da je pratio neke od tendencija u razvoju jezika onovremenoga Istanbula. Analiza zastupljenosti strategija uljudnosti i neuljudnosti doprinijet će boljemu poznavanju turskoga jezika na samoj granici Osmanskoga Carstva te će dopuniti dosadašnje spoznaje o Büttneru i okolnostima u kojima je u Zemunu živio. Analizom je ustanovljeno da se Büttner uglavnom koristio strategijama neuljudnosti.

Senjska štedionica Senj (1873. – 1948.)
Authors: Lajnert Siniša
Published: January 2020

Autor u članku s aspekta povijesti institucija obrađuje ustroj, poslovanje i likvidaciju Senjske štedionice Senj od 1873., kada je štedionica osnovana, pa sve do 1948., kada je završena njezina likvidacija. Poslove štedionice obavljali su glavna skupština dioničara, ravnateljstvo i nadzorni odbor. Usprkos velikim ekonomskim krizama te dvama svjetskim ratovima, Senjska štedionica izbjegla je sudbinu većine novčarskih zavoda koji su poslovali s gubitkom. Bila je jedan od rijetkih zavoda koji nikada nije imao nikakve zaštitne mjere niti mu je ikada bio postavljen povjerenik. Ravnateljstvo štedionice uvijek je polazilo od stajališta da prvenstveno treba očuvati zavod, u čemu se i uspjelo. Štedionica je upornim nastojanjem njezina ravnateljstva i činovništva te poslovnih prijatelja prebrodila sve krize, uglavnom s lakoćom, makar i uz skromni dobitak. Ravnateljstvo je prilagođavalo svoj rad prilikama i vjerno svojim principima, kako bi štedionica što bolje poslužila poslovnom svijetu te uspješno sačuvala stečeno povjerenje poslovnih prijatelja. Neposredno nakon završetka 2. svjetskog rata rad štedionice posve je stao. S obzirom na to da nije postojao niti jedan od uvjeta za daljnji uspješan rad Senjske štedionice i s obzirom na plansku likvidaciju privatnih novčarskih zavoda, u socijalističkoj Jugoslaviji je već 1945. godine određena likvidacija zavoda, koja je završena 1948. godine.

The use of Instagram social media for various purposes is possible. One of the possibilities was proved in the @katarinakartikapanca account that used it to upload a selfie with his father’s coffin as the background. Subsequently, the upload stimulates various comments from other account users. The objective of this study was to trace the motives behind the awareness to upload the selfie. Moreover, it also investigated the reception of the message/upload according to other account users. This study was a qualitative analysis with the guidelines of Stuart Hall’s reception theory and Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy theory. The results showed that the motive for uploading the selfie according to the informant of the account owner of @katarinakartikapanca was for digital mourning media and for remembering death media. For the reception dimension for the @purihardjanti account, the decoding position that occurred in the reception process of the upload message above was dominant hegemonic. Whereas for the @suzi_suzana87 account, the decoding position that occurred in the reception process of the upload message above was negotiation.

The development of technologies and their integration into society makes the creation of models and algorithms of process automation relevant. One of these tasks is the creation of an autonomous vehicle. The article describes an example of creation of a self-driving transport model based on the Arduino board. The statement of the task is done, the technical characteristics of the model, the conditions of autonomous movement, and also external obstacles, such as traffic lights, pedestrians, traffic signs are determined. The model uses a linear light sensor for controlling itself. An empirical study of the concept of autonomy of vehicles was carried out: collecting information about various implementations of autonomous driving and its supporting systems, analysing the technical characteristics of the hardware for building the system, developing options for autonomous driving using various equipment, experimental testing of hypotheses about the suitability of an autonomous control system, and testing and evaluating car operation. The autonomous movement model was tested on a radio-controlled car (scale 1:10). To control the movement the Arduino MEGA microcontroller was selected.
Philosophical and methodological landmarks of value and semantic informatization VS the "dictatorship" of digital information in the modern anthropological situation
Authors: Osadchyi Viacheslav , Troitska Tamara
Published: January 2020

The article issue is a reflection of the anthropological situation of the world, which is manifested in the problematic nature of a decent human existence and its responsibility for the course of events of both personal lives and communities. The development of modern strategies for the development of humanity today is associated with the informatization, which "has taken" the knowledge society initiative to be the leader of the progress. The systematization of knowledge and conceptualization of the problem highlighted the contradictory information influence on the existential capabilities of the person and explicated risk factors, ideological and methodological orientations of the anthropologization of the informational-existential situation. Axiological, dialogical, phenomenological approaches and world-view interpretation of familiar concepts of "information society", theoretical reconstruction, content analysis and certain cognitive procedures became the basis for defining certain constructs and receptions: the direction of goals, content, organizational and managerial conditions of informatization to the cultural and spiritual growth, where information becomes "the supreme power that mediates all processes – from economy to spirit"; axiologicalization of the convergent space collision of the information, in particular virtual, world and the real one; taking into account the informatization of significant changes in the world outlook of the person, presenting philosophical reflection (post-metaphysical thinking, linguistic turn, refusal to recognize the superiority of theory over practice, concretization of mind); "humanization" of informatization, as a system-creating process of life, through a discursive, dialogical multicultural virtual world, approaching the cultural and educational space.

Published: January 2020

Cryptography is a method of securing data using algorithms that have been developed continuously until now. Cryptography offers security in the form of data confidentiality, for example the confidentiality of data generated through encryption algorithms that scrambles personal information so that it cannot be read or solved by unauthorized parties. One of them is the substitution algorithm and the vigenere cipher is a classic method used for data security. The combination of these algorithm methods becomes a solution for double security as file protection. By using a cryptographic application for data security, the combination of the two method algorithms produces a data file that provides more security to the text file so that it is not easy and difficult to solve.

Islam spreads in Indonesia without violence, and preachers who came after them followed the path of their predecessors, calling peacefully. But the situation changed after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Indonesia's religious life has undergone a total change due to pressure from the Dutch government, keeping away Muslims from Arabic, politics and Islamic law. This research aims to find a suitable way how to prepare preachers and restores the best path in the call, and the Islamic call to the previous era of glory. Through the methods of descriptive analysis, and documentary study, I found that there is are phenomena of violence in the call that committed by a small group of preachers, that they do not have a little patience and use of force, which are contrary to the nature of the people of Islam in Indonesia. The teaching of Islam is far from the violent. It has been shown that the preachers of Indonesia need a greater range of knowledge and skills about cultures, religious and historical culture, linguistic, human nature, practcal aspect and real situation.

Published: January 2020

Nowadays, Camphor (Cinnamomum Camphora) and its' benefits from various aspects of life has been explained scientifically by scholars. Interestingly, Camphor is reported as one of the major trading commodities and is a backbone of Islamic development in the early 14th century in the archipelago. This study seeks to achieve three main objectives: i) examining Quran and Prophetic Tradition's perspective on Camphor and its' relationship with the archipelago community, and ii) studying the local wisdom of Malay people related to Camphor inside Malay medical manuscripts, and iii) analyzing the benefits of Camphor according to scientific research. To achieve these three objectives, the authors extract data from Quranic verses and hadiths related to Camphor. Subsequently, local wisdom regarding the use of camphor is generated from Malay medical manuscripts. All of these sources are analyzed through a comprehensive study to present a deep understanding. The study found that camphor mixed with other herbs to treat illnesses has been practised long ago by the Malay community, especially in the 19th century, and this is in line with Islamic practices that showed the efficacy of camphor.

Authors: Jannat M , Kamruzzaman M , Hossain MA , Hossain MK
Published: January 2020

The study was conducted to explore tree species diversity of Renikhayong para Village Common Forest (VCF) of Bandarban hill district. Stratified random sampling was carried out to assess the tree species diversity of the VCF. Renikhayong Para VCF with an area of 40 acres of land has more than 85 tree species belonging to 31 families, where Euphorbiaceae family was dominant containing 11 species followed by Rubiaceae (7 species), Moraceae (7 species), Meliaceae (5 species), Mimosaceae (5 species), Combretaceae (4 species), Lauraceae (4 species) and Anacardiaceae (3 species). Dominant tree species was Grewia nervosa. Renikhayong para VCF has diverse floristic resources that are known from the Shannon-Wiener’s diversity index (4.007), Simpson’s diversity index (0.028), Margalef’s richness index (13.21) and Species evenness index (0.90). However, number of species and number of individuals both were highest in the height range of 5 - <10 m. Similar trend was observed in dbh classes. Number of individuals were highest in dbh range of 5 - <15 cm and the lowest in ≥ 55 cm. The results depict the presence of maximum small trees in the VCF and decreasing the number of trees with the increase of tree height (m) and dbh (cm). Presence of diverse tree species and diversity indices indicate the importance and potential of the VCF for conservation and sustainable use.

Genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance of some yield contributing characters in lablab bean (Lablab purpureus L. Sweet)
Authors: Afsan N , Roy AK
Published: January 2020

Eleven genotypes of lablab bean were put into trial in four consecutive years to evaluate genetic variability among characters. Genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variability, heritability and genetic advance as percent of mean were estimated for four yield contributing characters i.e. number of flowers per plant, number of pods per plant, average number of seed per pod and average pod weight (gm). The range of variation was highly pronounced in all the four characters. Without grouping the presence of wide range of variation in these characters indicate that they are quantitative in nature and are under polygenic in control. Mean with standard error showed differences between the varieties and co-efficient of variability in percentage (CV%) indicates certain degree of variability for the characters studied which are prerequisite in breeding research. Genotypes were found to be significantly different for all characters in analysis of variance. Low differences between PVC and GVC shows that these traits are less influenced by environment and the effect of heritable components were high. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean was recorded by number of flowers per plant, number of pods per plant and average pod weight (g) indicates additive action of genes controlling them.

Authors: Siddika T , Azad MAK , Sujan MH , Hasan MM
Published: January 2020

This study aims to find out the present environmental status and issues that have emerged in the recent time due to change in human activities, resource extraction and human dependency on the forest. This study is based on both qualitative and quantitative approach with Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) tools and random sampling of 260 respondents, six focus group discussions (FGDs), six key informants interviews (KIIs). The result suggests that about 90% of poor and middle-classhouseholds are depended on the income from tourism, agriculture or boat riding activities. Both the local people and tourists’activities are responsible for decreasing environmental condition by plastic pollution, land cover and land use change, water follows control, road and building construction and violence of rules and regulation. The south and east boundaries, and the center of the forest are mainly facing land use and land cover changes between the years of 2005 to 2018. For sustainable management, local communities should be aware of the importance of swamp forest and have to find out alternative income sources to reduce pressure on swamp forest in terms of resources extraction and forest degradation.
