Published: January 2019

En esta investigación se analiza cómo se construyen las representaciones sociales que el colectivo docente en formación tiene en relación con los conceptos de éxito o fracaso escolar. Se parte desde el momento de la formación del profesorado, pues es en esta etapa donde la conformación de habitus se consolida a partir de las primeras experiencias prácticas, de la convivencia con docentes experimentados y del intercambio con el grupo de pares en formación. Para recabar los datos, se diseñó un instrumento para el análisis de representaciones sociales de profesores en formación, el cual estuvo constituido por una escala de diferencial semántico que se les presentó a los participantes con el fin de determinar los constructos alumno exitoso y alumno fracasado. Los resultados hallados permiten concluir que existen consensos en la representación social del éxito y del fracaso escolar orientada al esfuerzo continuo y al trabajo perseverante. Estos resultados ofrecen nuevas posibilidades para seguir indagando en este fenómeno, el cual se puede comparar con otras poblaciones y a partir de otras maneras de entender dichos conceptos.
Islam in Pakistan
Authors: Zaman Muhammed Qasim
Published: January 2019

The first modern state to be founded in the name of Islam, Pakistan was the largest Muslim country in the world at the time of its establishment in 1947. Today it is the second-most populous, after Indonesia. This book is the first comprehensive book to explore Islam's evolution in this region over the past century and a half, from the British colonial era to the present day. The book presents a rich historical account of this major Muslim nation, insights into the rise and gradual decline of Islamic modernist thought in the South Asian region, and an understanding of how Islam has fared in the contemporary world. Much attention has been given to Pakistan's role in sustaining the Afghan struggle against the Soviet occupation in the 1980s, in the growth of the Taliban in the 1990s, and in the War on Terror after 9/11. But as this book shows, the nation's significance in matters relating to Islam has much deeper roots. Since the late nineteenth century, South Asia has witnessed important initiatives toward rethinking core Islamic texts and traditions in the interest of their compatibility with the imperatives of modern life. Traditionalist scholars and their institutions, too, have had a prominent presence in the region, as have Islamism and Sufism. Pakistan did not merely inherit these and other aspects of Islam. Rather, it has been and remains a site of intense contestation over Islam's public place, meaning, and interpretation. Examining how facets of Islam have been pivotal in Pakistani history, this book offers sweeping perspectives on what constitutes an Islamic state.
Getting Respect

Published: January 2019

Racism is a common occurrence for members of marginalized groups around the world. This book illuminates their experiences and responses to stigmatization and discrimination by comparing three countries with enduring group boundaries: the United States, Brazil and Israel. The book delves into what kinds of stigmatizing or discriminatory incidents individuals encounter in each country, how they respond to these occurrences, and what they view as the best strategy—whether individually, collectively, through confrontation, or through self-improvement—for dealing with such events. The book draws on more than 400 in-depth interviews with middle- and working-class men and women residing in and around multiethnic cities to compare the discriminatory experiences of African Americans, Black Brazilians, and Arab Palestinian citizens of Israel, as well as Israeli Ethiopian Jews and Mizrahi (Sephardic) Jews. Detailed analysis reveals significant differences in group behavior: Arab Palestinians frequently remain silent due to resignation and cynicism while Black Brazilians see more stigmatization by class than by race, and African Americans confront situations with less hesitation than do Ethiopian Jews and Mizrahi Jews, who tend to downplay their exclusion. The book accounts for these patterns by considering the extent to which each group is actually a group, the sociohistorical context of intergroup conflict, and the national ideologies and other cultural repertoires that group members rely on. The book opens many new perspectives into, and sets a new global agenda for, the comparative analysis of race and ethnicity.
What is success? Gaps and trade-offs in assessing the performance of traditional social forestry systems in Indonesia
Authors: Bong Indah Waty , Moeliono Moira , Wong Grace Yee , Brockhaus Maria
Published: January 2019

Despite the growing interest in social forestry (SF), how much do we understand the social, economic and environmental outcomes and the conditions that enable SF to perform? In this article, we use a content analysis of literature on existing traditional SF practiced throughout Indonesia. It examines the outcomes of these systems and the conditions that enabled or hindered these outcomes to understand possible causal relations and changing dynamics between these conditions and SF performance. We discuss the gaps in how SF is assessed and understood in the literature to understand the important aspects of traditional SF that are not captured or that are lost when the diverse traditional systems are converted into other land uses. It aims to understand the potential trade-offs in the State’s push for formalizing SF if these aspects continue to be ignored.

Aims

The purpose of this study was to systematically quantify the level of acute parasympathetic denervation in a stepwise fashion by means of extracardiac vagal stimulation (ECVS) by positioning a quadripolar catheter in the internal jugular vein, in a cohort of patients undergoing second-generation cryoballoon ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

Methods

Fifty patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, having undergone extracardiac vagal stimulation before and after ablation by means of second-generation cryoballoon second-generation cryoballoon ablation, were included.

Results

The extracardiac vagal stimulation performed preablation provoked cardioinhibitory responses in all patients with mean pause duration of 10130.6 ± 3280.0 ms. At the end of the procedure, the VRs were significantly diminished with mean pause of 1687.5 ms ± 2183.7 ms (P = 0.00 compared with the pause before the procedure).

Conclusion

The ECVS proved to be a reproducible, feasible and reliable method to quantify the degree of parasympathetic denervation during CB-A. In all patients, significant cardiac parasympathetic denervation could be observed at the end of the procedure. Responses to ECVS were more specific to quantify the vagal denervation than the increase in the heart rate. However larger studies are needed to confirm this observation.

Published: January 2019

OBJECTIVE To determine usefulness of skin turgor and capillary refill time (CRT) for predicting changes in hydration status of working dogs after a 15-minute exercise period.

ANIMALS 9 exercise-conditioned working dogs between 8 and 108 months of age.

PROCEDURES Skin tent time (SkTT; time for tented skin on the forehead to return to an anatomically normal position) and CRT (time for occluded mucous membrane capillary vessels to return to the color visible before occlusion) were measured on dogs in a field setting and by video review. Body weight (BW), SkTT, CRT, and core body temperature were measured before and after a 15-minute exercise period. Exercise challenge was performed on days 1 and 8.

RESULTS Time (day 1 vs day 8) did not significantly affect results; therefore, data were pooled for the 2 trial days. Mean ± SE BW decreased (but not significantly) by 0.83 ± 0.27% after exercise. The SkTT increased significantly (both field setting and video review) after exercise. Correlation between SkTT results for the field setting and video review (r = 0.68) was significant. The CRT decreased (but not significantly) after exercise.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Dogs became mildly dehydrated (mean BW loss, 0.83%) during a 15-minute exercise period, and the mild dehydration was evident as a visually detectable change in skin turgor. Monitoring the SkTT appeared to be a useful strategy for predicting small shifts in hydration status of dogs during exercise. The CRT decreased and was not a significant predictor of a change in hydration status.

Using groundwater levels and Specific Yield to Estimate the Recharge, South of Erbil, Kurdistan Region, Iraq
Authors: Qurtas Sherwan Sh.
Published: January 2019

Recharge estimation accurately is crucial to proper groundwater resource management, for the groundwater is dynamic and replenished natural resource. Usually recharge estimation depends on the; the water balance, water levels, and precipitation. This paper is studying the south-middle part of Erbil basin, with the majority of Quaternary sediments, the unconfined aquifer system is dominant, and the unsaturated zone is ranging from 15 to 50 meters, which groundwater levels response is moderate. The purpose of this study is quantification the natural recharge from precipitation. The water table fluctuation method is applied; using groundwater levels data of selected monitoring wells, neighboring meteorological station of the wells, and the specific yield of the aquifers. This method is widely used for its simplicity, scientific, realistic, and direct measurement. The accuracy depends on the how much the determination of specific yield is accurate, accuracy of the data, and the extrapolations of recession of groundwater levels curves of no rain periods. The normal annual precipitation there is 420 mm, the average recharge is 89 mm, and the average specific yield is around 0.03. The data of one water year of 2009 and 2010 has taken for some technical and accuracy reasons.
Design and FPGA implementation of 11th order Efficient IIR Wavelet Filter Banks with Approximate Linear-phase
Authors: Hamad Rasha W.
Published: January 2019

In this paper. Bireciprocal Lattice Wave Digital Filters (BLWDFs) are utilized in an  approximate linear-phase in pass-band design of  order IIR wavelet filter banks (FBs). These filter banks are efficiently designed by replacement one of  branches for (BLWDFs)  by only a unit delay. The coefficients of the designed filter are achieved by simulating the IIR response suggested in [1]. The design is  first simulated using Matlab programming in order to investigate the resulting wavelet filter properties and to find the suitable wordlength for the BLWDFs coefficients. FPGA implemtation of the proposed IIR wavelet filter bank is also achived for three levels with less complexity and high operating frequency.
Petrography and geochemistry of coarse-crystalline veins within Vredefort Granophyre, Vredefort impact structure, South Africa
Authors: Kovaleva E. , Huber M.S. , Zaccarini F.
Published: January 2019

Vredefort Granophyre dykes are generally considered to be a part of impact melt, which intruded downward from the melt sheet of the Vredefort impact structure (South Africa). This work reports enigmatic textural inhomogeneities found within the Daskop and southeast Holfontein granophyre dykes located in the core of the Vredefort impact structure, and in the Kopjeskraal core-collar granophyre dyke. The heterogeneities attributed to the clast-rich dykes (up to 70 vol% of clasts), however, do not occur within the portions of high clast abundance in these dykes. Instead, they are found within dyke portions with 5 to 10 vol% of clasts. They were not observed in the clast-poor northwest Holfontein dyke. The reported heterogeneities are veins with macroscopically straight and sharp boundaries that are parallel to the strike of the host dyke. The veins are usually from 4 to 20 cm wide and are often differentially eroded with respect to the host rock.

Microscopic analyses demonstrate that the veins are coarser-grained than the host granophyre, with the increase in grain size of at least four times. Portable μ-XRF, whole rock WD-XRF and microprobe analyses indicate practically identical composition of the veins to the host granophyre. Slightly higher Ab and K mole % values of plagioclase and Fe-enriched rims of orthopyroxene within the veins suggest lower crystallization temperatures of the veins and/or crystallization over a longer period of time.

We interpret the coarse-grained veins as either pegmatitic, typical for felsic intrusive rocks, or being similar to coarse-grained segregation veins reported from basaltic flows, both of which would normally involve late, volatile-enriched residual melts. In either case, the veins probably formed with comparatively small volatile component (≤1 wt% of water) derived from the wall rocks and from the incorporated lithic clasts. The main implication of our study is that the granophyre dykes are inhomogeneous and complicated formations, which contrasts with previous reports. Additionally, we report for the first time that the composition of the granophyre is corresponding to dacite.
The Intrinsic Worth of Water in Job 38:22â€“38: Urging the Abandonment of an Anthropocentric Worldview
Authors: Kavusa Kivatsi Jonathan
Published: January 2019

Christianity has often been accused of promoting an anthropocentric worldview that has contributed to the current ecological crisis. Since Lynn Whiteâ€™s accusation that Genesis 1:26â€“28 is responsible for the crisis, biblical scholars and theologians have been discussing this text. Although Genesis 1:26â€“28 contains hints of anthropocentrism, it does not represent the only way in which the biblical authors viewed humans and their relationship with nature. This article focuses on Job 38, which presents many phenomena of nature, inter alia water-related phenomena, as surpassing humansâ€™ understanding. The world does not revolve around humans. They are merely part of the natural world. Humans cannot control water-related phenomena, which are depicted as having their own worth.
A Manual Therapy and Home Stretching Program in Patients With Primary Frozen Shoulder Contracture Syndrome: A Case Series
Authors: Dueñas Lirios , Balasch-Bernat Mercè , Aguilar-Rodríguez Marta , Struyf Filip , Meeus Mira , Lluch Enrique
Published: January 2019

Background

Manual therapy has been demonstrated to reduce pain and improve function in patients with frozen shoulder contracture syndrome (FSCS), but no evidence exists to support one form of manual therapy over another. This case series describes both short- and long-term outcomes after a manual therapy program and home stretching exercises based on specific impairments in shoulder mobility and level of tissue irritability in patients with FSCS.

Case Description

Eleven patients with primary FSCS were treated with an individually tailored, multimodal manual therapy approach once weekly for 12 visits, coupled with home stretching exercises once a day, 5 days per week. Pain, disability, range of motion (ROM), and muscle strength of the affected shoulder were assessed at baseline, posttreatment, at 6 months, and at 9 months.

Outcomes

Significant improvements in self-reported pain, disability, shoulder ROM, and strength were reported following treatment. Additionally, 4 of 11 patients showed pain improvements that exceeded the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) on the visual analog scale postintervention, and 8 of 11 showed pain improvements at 6 and 9 months. Moreover, 7 of 11 patients showed improvements in Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire scores exceeding the MCID postintervention and at 6 months, and 8 of 11 exceeded the MCID at 9 months.

Discussion

Clinically meaningful changes in shoulder pain and disability, ROM, or muscle strength were observed in 11 patients with primary FSCS treated with an individually tailored approach of both manual therapy techniques and stretching exercises, accounting for tissue irritability.

Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation of the Radial Nerve for a Patient With Lateral Elbow Pain: A Case Report With a 2-Year Follow-up
Authors: Arias-Buría José L. , Cleland Joshua A. , El Bachiri Youssef R. , Plaza-Manzano Gustavo , Fernández-de-las-Peñas César
Published: January 2019

Background

Patients with lateral elbow pain are often diagnosed with lateral epicondylalgia. Lateral elbow pain is often associated with dysfunction of the wrist extensor muscles; however, in some cases, it can also mimic signs and symptoms of radial nerve dysfunction.

Case Description

In this case report, a 43-year-old man, who was originally referred with a diagnosis of lateral epicondylalgia as a result of playing table tennis and who previously responded favorably to manual therapy and exercise, presented to the clinic for treatment. An exacerbation while participating in a table tennis match resulted in a return of his lateral epicondylalgia symptoms, which did not respond favorably to the same interventions used in his prior course of therapy. Further examination revealed sensitization of the radial nerve, which was treated with 2 sessions of ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and 4 weeks of a low-load, concentric/eccentric exercise program for the wrist extensors.

Outcomes

Following this intervention, the patient experienced clinically meaningful improvement in pain intensity (numeric pain-rating scale), function (Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation), and related disability (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire). The patient progressively exhibited complete resolution of pain and function, which was maintained at 2 years.

Discussion

This case report demonstrates the outcomes of a patient with lateral elbow pain who did not respond to manual therapy and exercise. Once radial nerve trunk sensitivity was identified and the intervention, consisting of ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation targeting the radial nerve combined with a low-load exercise program, was applied, a full resolution of pain and function occurred rapidly. Future clinical trials should examine the effect of percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in the management of nerve-related symptoms associated with musculoskeletal pain conditions.

The Impact of Decreased Scapulothoracic Upward Rotation on Subacromial Proximities
Authors: Lawrence Rebekah L. , Braman Jonathan P. , Ludewig Paula M.
Published: January 2019

Background

Decreased scapulothoracic upward rotation has been theorized to increase an individual's risk for rotator cuff compression by reducing the clearance for the tendons in the subacromial space (ie, subacromial proximities). However, the impact of decreased scapulothoracic upward rotation on subacromial proximities has not been tested during dynamic in vivo shoulder motion.

Objective

To determine the impact of decreased scapulothoracic upward rotation on subacromial proximities.

Methods

Shoulder kinematics were quantified in 40 participants, classified as having high or low scapulothoracic upward rotation, during scapular plane abduction using single-plane fluoroscopy and 2-D/3-D shape-matching. Subacromial proximities were calculated as (1) the normalized minimum distance between the coracoacromial arch and humeral rotator cuff insertion, and (2) the surface area of the humeral rotator cuff insertion in immediate proximity to the coracoacromial arch. The effect of decreased scapulothoracic upward rotation on subacromial proximities was assessed using 2-factor mixed-model analyses of variance. The prevalence of contact between the coracoacromial arch and rotator cuff was also quantified.

Results

Subacromial distances were generally smallest below 70° of humerothoracic elevation. With the arm at the side, the normalized minimum distance for participants in the low scapulothoracic upward rotation group was 34.8% smaller compared to those in the high upward rotation group (P = .049). Contact between the coracoacromial arch and rotator cuff tendon occurred in 45% of participants.

Conclusion

Decreased scapulothoracic upward rotation shifts the range of risk for subacromial rotator cuff compression to lower angles. However, the low prevalence of contact suggests that subacromial rotator cuff compression may be less common than traditionally presumed. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2019;49(3):180–191.

The Epidemiology of Low Back Pain and Injury in Dance: A Systematic Review
Authors: Swain Christopher T.V. , Bradshaw Elizabeth J. , Ekegren Christina L. , Whyte Douglas G.
Published: January 2019

Background

Dance is a physical pursuit that involves loading the spine through repetitive dynamic movements and lifting tasks. As such, low back pain (LBP) and low back injury (LBI) have been identified as common health problems in contemporary and classical ballet dancers. However, clarity regarding the experience of LBP and LBI in dance is lacking.

Objectives

To systematically review and synthesize the epidemiology of LBP and LBI in dance populations.

Methods

A comprehensive search of 6 electronic databases, back catalogs of dance science–specific journals, and reference lists of relevant articles and a forward citation search were performed.

Results

Fifty full-text articles were included in the final systematic review. There was considerable methodological heterogeneity among the included studies. The median (range) point, yearly, and lifetime prevalence of LBP was 27% (17%–39%), 73% (41%–82%), and 50% (17%–88%), respectively. The lower back contributed to 11% (4%–22%) of time loss and 11% (5%–23%) of medical-attention injuries.

Conclusion

Dancers are vulnerable to LBP and LBI. The use of definitions that are sensitive to the complexity of LBP and LBI would facilitate improved understanding of the problem within dance, inform health care strategies, and allow for monitoring LBP-specific intervention outcomes.

Published: January 2019

In modern times, competitiveness is a challenge and opportunity for organizations. The globalization of markets and the introduction of new technologies in new business models, large companies and especially SMEs, require strategies that encourage them to strengthen their competitiveness and increase profitability. For this, SMEs are incorporating actions derived from the dynamic capabilities, among which the orientation towards entrepreneurship, organizational learning, R&D, and market strategies stand out. The main objective is to analyze if, the dynamic capabilities and the entrepreneurial orientation, have influence on the activities of innovation and the profitability that is manifested in the SME. The study focuses on a sample of 1,012 SMEs from the Northwest region of Mexico; the data collection was made through a structured survey directed to the company manager during the period from September to December 2016. The statistical technique based on the analysis of variance through the Structural Equation Method (SEM) with the support of Partial Least Square (PLS), it was used to test hypotheses. The results reveal that the dynamic capabilities have a strong influence on the variables: entrepreneurial orientation, innovative activity and the profitability of the SME. In addition, we found that entrepreneurial orientation and Innovation activities significantly influence the profitability of SMEs. The research contributes to the development of the literature of the dynamic capabilities and of the entrepreneurial orientation
GP-SUM. Gaussian Process Filtering of non-Gaussian Beliefs
Authors: Bauza Maria , Rodriguez Alberto
Published: January 2019

This work studies the problem of stochastic dynamic filtering and state propagation with complex beliefs. The main contribution is GPSUM, a filtering algorithm tailored to dynamic systems and observation models expressed as Gaussian Processes (GP), and to states represented as a weighted Sum of Gaussians. The key attribute of GP-SUM is that it does not rely on linearizations of the dynamic or observation models, or on unimodal Gaussian approximations of the belief, hence enables tracking complex state distributions.
The algorithm can be seen as a combination of a sampling-based filter with a probabilistic Bayes filter. On the one hand, GP-SUM operates by sampling the state distribution and propagating each sample through the dynamic system and observation models. On the other hand, it achieves effective sampling and accurate probabilistic propagation by relying on the GP form of the system, and the sum-of-Gaussian form of the belief. We show that GP-SUM outperforms several GP-Bayes and Particle Filters on a standard benchmark. We also demonstrate its use in a pushing task, predicting with experimental accuracy the naturally occurring non-Gaussian distributions.

Nowadays there is a profound increase in the number of natural disasters attributed to extreme weather events which is significantly impeding progress towards sustainable development. To deal with a risk of an emergency threatening life or property, a weather-forecast office would use a range of forecast tools to assess the threat and provide the necessary forecasts and warnings. In this paper, using as case study the severe weather occurred in Greece on 16 and 17 July 2017, we discuss the capability of the ECMWF/EPS and the COSMO-LEPS forecasts, as also the ΕCMWF/HRES and COSMO.GR7 deterministic forecasts to provide forecasters with reliable prognostic guidance. To do so, we used these models’ consecutive runs from Friday 14-7-2017 (two days before the event) until Monday 17 -7-2017 (last day of the event). The effectiveness of these forecasts (rainfall spatiotemporal distribution and intensity) was then evaluated with the accumulated precipitation at ground (H-SAF/PR-OBS-5), with MSG products (RGB Airmass, Cloud Top Height) provided by EUMETSAT and with weather radar products.
Taylor rule and monetary policy transmission mechanism in a new keynesian economy
Authors: Cernichiaro Reyna Christopher
Published: January 2019

This paper estimates two SVAR models to assess Mexican Monetary policy rate for the period 2000-2015, which are recursively identifid according to Gali and Monacelli (2005) model. This paper shows that monetary policy rate responds to GDP, infltion and exchange rate as Taylor’s Rule predicts. When controlling for General Consumer’s Price Index infltion, monetary policy barely affcts aggregate demand even if exchange rate appreciates, nevertheless GDP diminish after contractive monetary policy takes place. Infltion rate lightly increases after interest rate rises, which does not coincide with New Keynesian predictions. A second model is estimated controlling for underlying infltion. Its results exhibit more interest rate sensitive consumption and net exports, while real exchange rate and GDP change as New Keynesian model predicts. Infltion decreases after monetary policy rise but its flctuations are close to zero. According to Gali (2008) such small changes indicate nominal rigidities existence.
Asimetrías monetarias en Canadá, Estados Unidos y México:un análisis empírico, 1980-2015

Published: January 2019

En este artículo sostenemos que la oferta monetaria de Canadá, los Estados Unidos y México no es necesariamente exógena y que el grado de endogeneidad monetaria en cada caso es disímil. Por otra parte, un hecho estilizado indiscutible es que los sistemas financieros de estos países son heterogéneos. Esta heterogeneidad determina que la efectividad de los mecanismos de transmisión de la política monetaria sea asimétrica para México. Para contrastar la hipótesis, realizamos un análisis econométrico (modelo VARC). Nuestra principal contribución consiste en la demostración de esta hipótesis.

Keberadaan para pedagang kaki lima yang berjualan di sekitar kampus unisba saat ini sedikit mengganggu kenyamanan dan kebersihan lingkungan kampus. Walaupun demikian, keberadaan pedagang kaki lima tersebut telah memberikan alternatif bagi mahasiswa Unisba untuk mendapatkan makanan dan minuman selain  di kantin  kampus atau di koperasi mahasiswa. Pengamatan awal menunjukkan bahwa cara berdagang yang mereka lakukan tidak berubah dari waktu ke waktu, padahal mereka sudah berjualan bertahun-tahun bahkan puluhan tahun. Manajemen usaha yang sangat sederhana menyebabkan usaha tidak berkembang secara signifikan. Kegiatan pengabdian pada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatan kemampuan manajemen wirausaha dari para pedagang kaki lima tersebut sehingga mereka dapat mengelola usahanya dengan lebih baik dan usahanya dapat berkembang secara signifikan.Pengabdian pada masyarakat ini dilakukan dengan memberikan pelatihan dan pendampingan mengenai manajemen usaha, meliputi manajemen produksi, manajemen keuangan sederhana, manajemen produksi, dan pemasaran. Untuk mengurangi kejenuhan peserta pelatihan, pelatihan tidak dilakukan dalam kelas. Selain itu juga dilakukan inisiasi pembentukan paguyuban pedagang untuk memudahkan koordinasi dan komunikasi antar pedagang atau antara pedagang dengan pihak lain. Hasil kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan pada pemahaman para pedagang mengenai cara mengelola usaha mereka dan sebagian besar peserta pelatihan merasa puas dengan pelaksanaan pelatihan yang dilakukan. Para pedagang mengharapkan kegiatan serupa dilakukan secara rutin dengan materi pelatihan yang berbeda sehingga kemampuan mereka semakin bertambah.

Published: January 2019

Universitas Islam Bandung (Unisba), merupakan salah satu universitas swasta yang berada di Bandung Jawa Barat.  Unisba memiliki visi “ Menjadi Perguruan Tinggi Islam yang mandiri, dan terkemuka di Asia”.  Salah satu upaya dalam mewujudkan visi tersebut adalah dengan meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran. Kualitas belajar yang baik dapat dipengaruhi oleh faktor lingkungan fisik kelas. Setiap ruang kelas yang ada di Universitas Islam Bandung (Unisba)  telah dilengkapi fasilitas  pembelajaran sebagai sarana pendukung dalam proses pembelajaran. Fasilitas yang tersedia terdiri dari  kursi kuliah, papan tulis, layar proyektor dan lingkungan kelas. Fasilitas tersebut masih dirasakan kurang nyaman, khususnya pada kelas yang berada di Jl. Tamansari No.1. Berdasarkan hasil kuesioner mengenai fasilitas kelas yang dirasakan belum nyaman dan perlu diperbaiki terhadap 40 mahasiswa, yang terdiri dari 11 mahasiswa Fakultas Psikologi, 9 mahasiswa Fakultas Teknik, 8 mahasiswa Fakultas Ekonomi, dan 12 mahasiswa Fakultas Komunikasi, menunjukan  bahwa fasilitas yang paling dirasakan belum nyaman dan perlu diperbaiki adalah kursi kuliah. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan perancangan ulang terhadap kursi kuliah di Unisba dengan memperhatikan keinginan pengguna dan aspek ergonomis.
