Authors: Dias Alexsandra Barcelos , Santos Valquíria Aparecida dos , Beiruth Aziz Xavier
Published: October 2016

A orientação estratégica da empresa foi concebida como uma ferramenta de gestão conhecida como o Balanced Scorecard (BSC), que objetiva medir e monitorar a estratégia em ação. Este trabalho teve como objetivo verificar a consistência estratégica na percepção dos stakeholders nas Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) privadas, por meio das perspectivas do Balanced Scorecard. A metodologia utilizada foi uma pesquisa descritiva, por meio de uma abordagem quantitativa e com coleta de dados por meio de questionário aplicado em quatro IES no Estado de Minas Gerais, com diretores/coordenadores, professores e alunos denominados de stakeholders, para identificar, a partir de um modelo de Balanced Scorecard com quatro indicadores em cada perspectiva (financeira, clientes, aprendizagem e crescimento e processos internos), a consistência das estratégias percebida por esses grupos. Os principais resultados apontaram para uma diferença de percepção dos gestores quanto às perspectivas, com um grau de importância maior dado à perspectiva “Aprendizagem e Crescimento” e “Processos Internos”. O grupo de professores foi o que atribuiu menos importância para a perspectiva “Clientes”. As principais inconsistências encontradas foram na perspectiva “Processos Internos”. A perspectiva “Financeira” foi a que apresentou menos gaps, quando comparada entre os grupos, o que revela uma inconsistência estratégica nas IES por meio da percepção dos stakeholders. Conclui-se que a consistência estratégica pode contribuir com a competitividade organizacional, identificando a existência de alinhamento nas ações desenvolvidas que resultam em maior eficiência para um cenário competitivo de acordo com seus interessados.

Effects of mechanical pre-bloom defoliation on cordon de Royat pruned Sangiovese (Vitis vinifera L.) vines
Authors: Filippetti Ilaria , Allegro Gianluca , Valentini Gabriele , Pastore Chiara , Poni Stefano , Intrieri Cesare
Published: October 2016

Aims: Recent trials on Sangiovese vines have shown that hand defoliation of shoot basal leaves at pre-bloom is effective in reducing fruit set and yield, leading to better grape composition and quality. The present work was performed to assess whether similar outcomes could be obtained by a more economically viable mechanical approach, which appears to be extremely attractive in cultivars such as Sangiovese, marked by high or very high yield potential and heavy, fairly compact clusters quite sensitive to rot.

Methods and results: The trial was designed to compare pre-bloom mechanical defoliation (MD), hand defoliation (HD) and no defoliation (C) on Sangiovese vertical shoot positioned and spur pruned cordon de Royat trained vines. In the HD treatment, the first six basal leaves of each shoot were removed (70 % of leaf area), whereas in the MD treatment 33 % of the leaf area was removed from the basal part of the shoots. HD and MD compared to C reduced fruit set (HD = 29.8%; MD = 24.2%; C = 35.5 %), yield per shoot (HD = 546 g; MD = 516 g; C = 764 g), cluster weight (HD = 292 g; MD = 272 g; C = 382 g) and berry weight (HD = 2.17 g; MD = 2.31 g; C = 2.45 g), but improved total soluble solids (HD = 23.0 °Brix; MD = 22.5 °Brix; C = 20.8 °Brix) and total anthocyanins (HD = 837 mg/kg of grapes; MD = 744 mg/kg of grapes; C = 647 mg/kg of grapes). Leaf photosynthesis, measured in 2007, increased only temporarily after HD and MD as compared to control.

Conclusions: The pre-bloom HD of shoot basal leaves confirmed its positive effect on crop yield control and grape composition, leading to better grape quality. The pre-bloom MD of the basal part of the shoots maintained most of the advantages associated with HD, although only half of the leaf area removed by hand was removed by the machine.

Significance and impact of the study: Pre-bloom mechanical defoliation can replace hand defoliation and partially replace the time-consuming and costly manual cluster thinning technique, which is often used in high yield cultivars such as Sangiovese.
Enhanced yield and fruit quality of redglobe grapevines by abscisic acid (ABA) and ethanol applications
Authors: Omran Yasser A.M.M.
Published: October 2016

Aims: Redglobe has become a popular table grape cultivar in Egypt. However, in warm climates the berries often fail to develop a full red color in addition to having lower total soluble solids (TSS) at harvest time. Here we evaluate the potential for enhancing the quality of Redglobe grapes with applications of abscisic acid (ABA) and ethanol under field conditions.

Methods and results: Abscisic acid (300 mg/L) and/or ethanol (10% v/v) treatments were applied twice (10% and 75% of colored berries) for two seasons (2006 and 2007), and their effect on yield and fruit quality (TSS/acidity, anthocyanin content, firmness, and attachment force) was investigated. The application of ABA did not significantly affect yield when compared to the untreated control, whereas the ethanol treatment, alone or in combination with ABA, resulted in a significant yield increase. Total soluble solids and the ratio between TSS and acidity were increased by all treatments. The highest TSS/acidity ratio resulted from the ABA treatment due primarily to an 18% decrease in total acidity. In this regard, ABA was the most effective treatment. The total anthocyanin content in berry skins increased by approximately 48 and 38% with the ABA and ethanol treatments, respectively. Still, the highest anthocyanin content was obtained with the application of both ethanol and ABA (54% higher than in the untreated control). Berries that were treated with ethanol were markedly firmer and had higher attachment force than those of the other treatments.

Conclusion: The results indicate that the combination of ABA and ethanol is more effective in improving the color of Redglobe grapes but may also increase production efficiency. However, the ethanol treatment alone was more effective in increasing yield and berry firmness and appears to be an alternative to ABA in improving fruit quality in general.

Significance and impact of the study: The results obtained in this study will be useful to improve the fruit quality of Redglobe grapes in the field under warm conditions.
Contribution of grape skin and fermentation microorganisms to the development of red- and black-berry aroma in Merlot wines
Authors: Pineau Bénédicte , Barbe Jean-Christophe , Van Leeuwen Cornelis , Dubourdieu Denis
Published: October 2016

Aim: The aim of this study was to elucidate how an initially neutral Merlot must resulted in a wine with characteristic aromas of red- and black-berry fruit, focusing on the respective contributions of yeast metabolism together with grape juice, pulp, and skins.

Methods and Results: Sensory analyses were performed on Merlot grape skin maceration models, based on observations in the winery. Initial findings revealed that strong fruity nuances appeared during pre-fermentation maceration. In the maceration models used, the development of aroma of red- and black-berry fruit systematically paralleled the growth of the yeast population. The respective roles of grape skins and yeasts were investigated throughout the alcoholic fermentation of model musts with addition of Merlot skins or Merlot skin extract in ethanol. The aromatic nuances revealed by alcoholic fermentation in a must alone had no specific white-, rosé-, or red-wine character. In contrast, wines made by microvinification with grape skins and/or grape skin extract in ethanol had a clear, intense aroma of red- and black-berry. Microvinification with both Merlot skin extract and grape skins revealed the most intense fruity character.

Conclusions: Inodorous skin constituents produced a specific aroma of red- and black-berry fruit after alcoholic fermentation by yeast. The physical presence of grape skins during fermentation enhanced the intensity of the fruity nuances obtained.

Significance and impact of the study: The study established, for the first time, the existence of inodorous constituents in Merlot grape skins, extractible by ethanol and transformed by yeasts to produce a specific aroma of red- and black-berry fruit in the finished wines.
Poisson and symplectic reductions of 4–DOF isotropic oscillators. The van der Waals system as benchmark
Authors: Crespo F. , Díaz-Toca G. , Ferrer S. , Lara M.
Published: October 2016

This paper is devoted to studying Hamiltonian oscillators in 1:1:1:1 resonance with symmetries, which include several models of perturbed Keplerian systems. Normal forms are computed in Poisson and symplectic formalisms, by mean of invariants and Lie-transforms respectively. The first procedure relies on the quadratic invariants associated to the symmetries, and is carried out using Gröner bases. In the symplectic approach, hinging on the maximally superintegrable character of the isotropic oscillator, the normal form is computed a la Delaunay, using a generalization of those variables for 4-DOF systems. Due to the symmetries of the system, isolated as well as circles of stationary points and invariant tori should be expected. These solutions manifest themselves rather differently in both approaches, due to the constraints among the invariants versus the singularities associated to the Delaunay chart.

Taking the generalized van der Waals family as a benchmark, the explicit expression of the Delaunay normalized Hamiltonian up to the second order is presented, showing that it may be extended to higher orders in a straightforward way. The search for the relative equilibria is used for comparison of their main features of both treatments. The pros and cons are given in detail for some values of the parameter and the integrals.

Published: October 2016

Objectives. To examine the extent to which the AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETCs) are increasing the number and racial/ethnic diversity of HIV medical providers, in accordance with the US National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS).

Methods. We used administrative data from funding year 2012-2013 to describe AETC trainee characteristics, including the types of medical providers trained, compared with national estimates of available US medical providers to estimate the proportion of providers trained for every 1000 available providers by professional group and race/ethnicity.

Results. AETCs trained 56 127 unique trainees, of whom 64.1% were medical providers and 45.5% were racial/ethnic minorities. Compared to national proportions, participation in AETC training was higher among racial/ethnic minorities. The proportions of racial/ethnic minority groups trained differed across regional AETCs.

Conclusions. AETCs support NHAS goals by expanding the HIV medical workforce and strengthening the skills of minority medical providers to deliver high quality HIV care.

Public Health Implications. Some AETCs made greater contributions to training different types of racial/ethnic minorities, which indicates varied approaches are needed to best target these efforts in communities heavily impacted by HIV.

Authors: Mehta Pooja K. , Bachhuber Marcus A. , Hoffman Roy , Srinivas Sindhu K.
Published: October 2016

Objectives. To understand the effect of unintentional injuries (e.g., drug overdose), suicide, and homicide on pregnancy-associated death (death during or within 1 year of pregnancy).

Methods. We analyzed all cases of pregnancy-associated death among Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, residents from 2010 to 2014, examining cause of death, contributing factors, and history of health care use.

Results. Approximately half (49%; 42 of 85) of pregnancy-associated deaths were from unintentional injuries (n = 31), homicide (n = 8), or suicide (n = 3); drug overdose was the leading cause (n = 18). Substance use was noted during or around events leading to death in 46% (31 of 67) of nonoverdose deaths. A history of serious mental illness was noted in 39% (32 of 82) of nonsuicide deaths. History of intimate partner violence (IPV) was documented in 19% (15 of 77) of nonhomicide deaths. Regardless of cause of death, approximately half of all decedents had an unscheduled hospital visit documented within a month of death.

Conclusions. Unintentional injury, homicide, and suicide contribute to many deaths among pregnant and recently pregnant women. Interventions focused on substance use, mental health, and IPV may reduce pregnancy-associated and pregnancy-related deaths.

Authors: Conte Kathleen P. , Odden Michelle C. , Linton Natalie M. , Harvey S. Marie
Published: October 2016

Objectives. To evaluate the effectiveness of Walk With Ease (WWE), an evidence-based arthritis self-management program that was scaled up in Oregon in 2012 to 2014.

Methods. Guided by the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) framework, we collected participant surveys and attendance records and conducted observations. Preprogram and postprogram, participants self-reported pain and fatigue (scale: 0–10 points; high scores indicate more pain and fatigue) and estimated episodes of physical activity per week in the last month.

Results. Recruitment successfully reached the targeted population—sedentary adults with arthritis (n = 598). Participants reported significant reduction in pain (−0.47 points; P = .006) and fatigue (−0.58 points; P = .021) and increased physical activity (0.86 days/week; P < .001). WWE was adopted by workplaces and medical, community, faith, and retirement centers. Most WWE programs were delivered with high fidelity; average attendance was 47%.

Conclusions. WWE is suitable for implementation by diverse organizations. Effect sizes for pain and fatigue were less than those in the original WWE studies, but this is to be expected for a large-scale implementation.

Public Health Implications. WWE can be effectively translated to diverse, real-world contexts to help sedentary adults increase physical activity and reduce pain and fatigue.
Radialization of the Ulnar Component During Revision Total Elbow Arthroplasty
Authors: Lee Donald H.
Published: October 2016

Case:

Revision total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) is becoming more common. Revision of a failed total elbow prosthesis requires implant removal and replacement. With implant removal, substantial damage to the distal part of the humerus or the proximal part of the ulna can occur. Therefore, reconstruction may require special or custom implants with bone augmentation (e.g., allograft bone graft). This report describes the 9-year follow-up of a man who underwent revision TEA with placement of the ulnar component into the proximal part of the radial shaft (radialization) instead of into the proximal part of the ulnar shaft.

Conclusion:

Radialization of the ulnar component is a viable reconstruction option for the ulnar component during revision TEA.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the hip showed compression of the sciatic nerve by a perineural cyst arising from a paralabral cyst. All 3 patients underwent arthroscopic decompression. Upon follow-up, the mean visual analog scale scores for pain had improved from 7.3 to 0.3. MRI showed no evidence of recurrence of the cyst in any of the patients.

Conclusion:

Arthroscopic treatment for entrapment neuropathy of the sciatic nerve caused by a paralabral cyst was effective for improving symptoms; at the final follow-up, none of the patients had experienced recurrence of the cyst.
Organik Matter: It’s Role in Sustainable Farming of Sugarcane
Authors: Djajadi Djajadi
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT

Organik matter has an important role in determining soil health of sugarcane, i.e. soil capacity to support sugarcane to produce sustainable high yield. Soil organic matter influences soil physical, chemical, and biological properties, so that a consequence of declining soil organic matter is poorer soil fertility and lower yield. This paper has an objective to elucidate the important role of organic matter on sustainable farming of sugarcane. The important role of organic matter in soil fertility has been known for a long time before Green Revolution concept was introduced. With more intensity in sugarcane farming and more increasing of sugar demand, application of organic fertilizer started to be substituted by chemical fertilizer. Using green manure and/or biofertilizer has a chance to be spread out to the farmers due to more practical and more efficient than solid organik fertilizer, such as dung manure or compost. Future research should be focusing on the efectivity of green manure and or biofertilzer sources in improving soil fertility and cane yield, minimizing soil pathogen, reducing soil erosion of sugar cane land monoculture, and improving awareness of farmers about soil degradation as consequences of sugarcane monoculture planting for years.

Bahan Organik: Peranannya dalam Budidaya Tebu Berkelanjutan

ABSTRAK

Bahan organik tanah berperan penting dalam menentukan kesehatan tanah tebu, yaitu kapasitas tanah yang dapat mendukung produksi tebu yang tinggi secara berkelanjutan. Kadar bahan organik tanah mempengaruhi sifat fisik, kimia dan biologi tanah. Paper ini bertujuan untuk menguraikan tentang peranan bahan organik dalam memperbaiki sifat fisik, kimia dan biologi tanah pertanaman tebu. Pentingnya peran bahan oganik tersebut sudah disadari dari dulu, sehingga sebelum revolusi hijau penggunaan pupuk organik sudah umum dilakukan petani. Dengan semakin intensifnya budidaya tebu dan semakin meningkatnya kebutuhan gula, pemanfaatan pupuk organik sudah jarang dilakukan. Diperlukan usaha untuk meningkatkan dan mempertahankan kadar bahan organik pada lahan tebu, antara lain berupa gerakan masal dalam bentuk gerakan nasional melalui program aplikasi bahan organik. Pemanfaatan pupuk hijau dan/atau pupuk hayati berpeluang untuk diterapkan karena lebih praktis dan efisien daripada penambahan pupuk organik padat. Penelitian ke depan perlu difokuskan untuk mengkaji jenis-jenis pupuk organik dan pupuk hayati yang efektif memperbaiki kesuburan, dalam menekan serangan penyakit, meminimalkan erosi pada lahan-lahan tebu monokultur, dan meningkatkan kesadaran petani tebu tentang terjadinya degradasi lahan akibat penanaman tebu yang terus menerus.

Strategi Peningkatan Produktivitas Lada dengan Tajar Tinggi dan Pemangkasan Intensif serta Kemungkinan Adopsinya di Indonesia
Authors: DARAS USMAN
Published: October 2016

RINGKASAN

Lada merupakan salah satu komoditas ekspor tradisional penting Indonesia. Capaian produktivitasnya secara nasional masih rendah (< 1.0 ton/ha), di bawah produktivitas negara penghasil utama lada lain seperti Vietnam, Brazil dan Malaysia. Banyak faktor yang diperkirakan berkontribusi terhadap rendahnya produktivitas. Faktor tersebut dapat berupa kendala teknis maupun non teknis. Di antara sejumlah kendala teknis, aspek agronomi seperti kebiasaan petani menggunakan tajar pendek (+3.0 m), pemupukan dan pemangkasan yang tidak optimal diduga kuat berkontribusi terhadap masih rendahnya capaian tersebut. Penggunaan tajar tinggi (> 5 m) disertai pemangkasan optimal, baik terhadap tanaman pokok lada maupun tajar hidupnya sangat berpotensi meningkatkan produktivtas rata-rata lada nasional lebih dari 1,5 ton/ha/th. Produksi dan produktivitas lada nasional diharapkan dapat lebih besar lagi apabila disertai penerapan aspek budidaya menanam lada lebih dari satu pohon per tajar. Sosialisasi dan penerapan ketiga aspek budidaya lada tersebut pada tingkat lapang secara terencana dan berkesinabungan diharapkan dapat meningkatkan produksi dan produktivitas lada nasional.

ABSTRACT
Strategy in Increase Productivity of Black Pepper With High Supports, Intensified Pruning and Its Adoption Possibility in Indonesia

Black pepper is an important and traditional export commodity of Indonesia. The mean productivity of Indonesian black pepper is low (< 1 ton/ha) which is much lower than those of other producing countries such as Vietnam, Brazil and Malaysia. There are number factors influencing the low productivity of black pepper vines in the country, both technical and non-technical constraints. Among them, agronomic aspects such as the use of short supports or standards of about + 3.0 m in height, and unintensified pruning of both black pepper vines and its live supports are believed to contributing low in yields of the crop. In other words, the use of live supports with height of more than 5.0 m, followed by intensified pruning of black pepper vines and its live supports are able to increase the mean national productivity of the crop of higher than of 1,5 tons ha/year. Higher in yields or productivity of black pepper vine may be achieved if farmers not only adopt the two agronomic aspects but also other recommended cultural practices do. Hence, socialization and implementation of the improved cultural practice technologies for the crop is needed in the future, in turn, higher in yield or productivity of the crop as well as income of farmers be achieved.

Published: October 2016

Abstract: The existence of Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah has significantly contributed to the development of educational field in Indonesia, especially in Islamic education. In relation to this, the system of school management needs to be reorganized, especially in term of curriculum, in which it should always be adapted to the development of science and technology, particularly in education. By restructuring the curriculum, it is expected that this Madrasah will be needed by the society all of the time, which in turn will impact on the extent of development over the symbols of Islam. There are some important aspects of curriculum that need to be laid back, as follows: the purpose, content, organization and strategy and its development orientation that adapts to the rapid change of education nowadays. Meanwhile, the development should be begun with the development at the institutional level in advance, such as by improving the vision, mission, competency standards of graduation, determination of the content and structure of the program and the development of learning methods/strategies. Furthermore, the syllabus development of each subject should be fitted in the graduation competency standards, standards of competence and basic competence. Finally, the development in the classroom during the learning process should be suited with the students’ characteristics and environmental conditions, teacher capability and the availability of school facilities.

Abstract: An issue of character education in Indonesia has been widely discussed since the character education movement launched on May 2, 2010. Character education has become an important part of the national education system and become preventive cure on various social ills. Islamic education has some appropriate terminologies used in the character learning approach, such as: tilâwah, ta’lîm’, tarbiyah, ta’dîb, tazkiyah dan tadlrîb. Recitations (tilâwahi) is related to the ability to read; ta’lim related to the development of intelligence (intellectual quotient); tarbiyah regarding care and affection instinctively, ta'dib associated with the development of emotional intelligence (emotional quotient); tazkiyah related to the development of spiritual intelligence (spiritual quotient), and tadlrib associated with physical intelligence or skills (physical quotient or adversity quotient). The integration of character education in all subjects at the school is regarded as one way to improve the competence of cognitive, affective and psychomotor of learners equally. This study discusses the system of Islamic boarding schools with the characteristics, clerics, mosques and dormitories to be an alternative solution to implement character education in such effective, consistent and sustainable ways. The system of Pesantren will optimize the educator's role as an educator, conservator, innovators, transformers, organizers and all stakeholders of madrasah so that its value or characters can be internalized and implemented by students optimally.

Abstract: The quality of science education that is still unsatisfying can be effected by misconceptions and learning conditions that less pay attention to learners’ preconceptions. Misconception is frequently happened among students in all levels of education, including elementary school students, secondary schools students, up to university or college students and even someone who have already worked. The most common misconceptions are caused by the initial concept (preconception) in which it was taken to formal education. As a result, many of elementary school students are encountered with misconception. Since childhood, people have already constructed such concepts through daily experiences, and it is possible to say that they have undergone a process of learning early. The cause of misconceptions that happen to learners are vary, including learners from itself, educators, textbooks, contexts, and methods of teaching. All science materials are possible to create misconception among learners, for instance, photosynthesis. The example of misconceptions in this material include the process of photosynthesis in which students assume that it occurs only during the day with the help of sunlight, only plants whose green leaf that capable to have photosynthesis; chlorophyll present in the leaves alone, as well as plants perform photosynthesis during the day while at night plants do breathe. The misconception is a major problem in learning science as it can disrupt the formation of a scientific conception.
TRANSMISI ILMU DALAM PENDIDIKAN SUFISTIK

Published: October 2016

Abstract: Transmission of knowledge through Wasilah in Sufi education paradigm has led students to be human beings who have impeccable character. Sufi education seeks to integrate the common mind, the heart and the actualization of the common mind and heart in man towards the purification of the soul. There are at least three stages taught by educators in building students’ character, the first stage, the seeker (al-murid) is a person who has sets of awareness and belief as a creature of God as creator. The second is musafir (al-sair), a servant of the upright walk with God. The last stage is al-wasil, a servant who attains perfect knowledge of God. The education that is now unfolding should refer to the objectives and philosophy of Sufi essential educational goals. The foundation listed in the Law on National Education System (UUSPN) should not only be an ideal setting and the plain theory, but also come in the realm of actualization and realization that can shape the character of each individual learner. Meaningful education that contains educational value should be the priority in the learning process. This can be done by activating the three basic domains in education such as cognitive, affective and psychomotor.

Abstract: Education is a process to humanize human beings. Therefore, the methods employed by the teacher should provide valuable characters since students make the teacher as the central figure in the process of learning. Moreover, the world’ figures that serve valuable morals for students are currently in crisis. In this void, therefore, the field of education should be triggered by improving the quality of teacher’s performance,especially for the religious teacher. The religious teacher is highly demanded to give valuable characters in all aspects of life. Hence, the educational process is not only to transfer knowledge but also to build moral values   to students. Teacher’s modelingplays a vital role in the teaching-learning process. In accordance to this, the religious teacher also functions as a spiritual father for students who provides knowledge, moral values, and justification. In this case, the teacher requires not only to have adequate pedagogical skills, but also to be able educate students well. This is due to the fact that education is aimed not only to transfer knowledge, but also to build valuable character,that is the teacher’s ability to provide model of valuable attitude and positive values to students.

Abstract: The character is a subject of an education that is very interesting and always discussed by educators in educational practice today. The Qur'an as an educational book also teaches the importance of both; morality education (aqidah) and character education (akhlaq), which are an integral and inseparable. This shows the importance of education and character building in every educational process at all levels. Despite the struggle between good characters and bad characters in every human being, but basically a good character can be formed through the soul treatment, habituation of right conduct, exemplary and good social environment. The teachers are demanded to treat a pupil’s soul and habituation right conduct so that the pupils have a good character. Besides a good social environment, the more important in order to build the character is the teacher should be an exemplary model for the surrounding community. Rosululloh is the best role model for anyone who wants to follow his character in order to be a person who has a noble character.ملخص: إن التربية الأخلاقية موضوع تربوي جذّاب يناقشها المربون الآن تطبيقيا. والقران ككتاب تربوي يعلّمنا شيئين، هما التربية العقدية والتربية الأخلاقية وهما شيئ واحد لا يتجزأ. دل هذا على أهمية التربية وبناء الأخلاق في جميع مستويات العملية التربوية. ومهما هناك صراع بين الأخلاق الكريمة والأخلاق الذميمة في الحياة، فإن الأخلاق الكريمة يمكن تكوينها عن طريق التعامل النفسي، وتعويد أفضل الأعمال، وبالمثال والبيئة الاجتماعية الجيدة. ويرجى أن يعامل المدرس طلابه نفسيا وأن يعوّدهم فعل الخيرات ليكون لهم أخلاق كريمة. بجانب البيئة الحسنة، والأهم من ذلك أن يكون المدرس قدوة في هذا التكوين في مجتمعه. والرسول محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم خير مثال لجميع الناس في الالتزام بالأخلاق الكريمة.  Keywords: Pendidikan karakter, kebiasaan, keteladanan

Abstract: Learning is an activity that is not limited to the school context only. It can be done anywhere and anytime as the availability of space and time. The system of Mastery learning deals with how students master the material at least 80%. Mastering the material needs extra effort from teachers as well as students. The use of Mastery learning through STAD method in Arabic learning can enhance cooperation between the personal in groups, provide insight, deepen understanding, and train students to express ideas into question so that the atmosphere of group discussion is more optimal. Furthermore, the application of STAD method in Arabic learning provides the values  and sense of responsibility for individual or group. ناك تقو وأ ناكم  ّ يأ في سيردتلا نوكي نأ نكيم انمإو ،بسحف ةيسردلما ةئيبلا في رصحني لا ميلعتلا ناك ىلع نيرطيسي بلاطلا لعج )Mastery learning( طنم ىلع ةساردلا ماظن ناكو .ناكلماو تقولا ةيناكمإ بسح ينسردلما لبق نم ةّ دالجا ةلوالمحا لىإ ه ّ جوتلا اذه جاتحا .)ةئالما في ينناثم ( 80 % لقلأا ىلع ةيساردلا داولما نكيم ةيبرعلا ةغللا ميلعت في STAD ةقيرطلاب )Mastery learning(بولسلأا مادختساو .بلاطلاو مهسفنأ لكش في ءارلآاو راكفلأا حرط ىلع بيردتلاو مهفلا ءاطعإو ةعاملجا في دارفلأا ينب يعاملجا لمعلا يّ قري نأ ميقلا سرغي ةيبرعلا ةغللا ميلعت في STAD قيبطت ناك اذكهو .اّ يح ةعاملجا في شاقنلا نوكي ىتح ةلئسلأا .مهيرغ نعو مهسفنأ نع بلاطلا ىدل ةيلوؤسلما ىنعمو

This study was aimed at investigating the extent to which the lecturer employedstrategy and occupied effective classroom language to assist students’ schemataactivation on Extensive Reading class at English Department-STAIN Ponorogo. Tomeet with the objectives, qualitative case study formed the methodological basis ofthis present research involving an extensive reading lecturer as the researchsubject with one of her respective classes consisted of 32 students of fourthsemester. The data were derived from lecturer’s utterances (verbal) and bodylanguage (nonverbal). Those data were obtained from the transcripts of therecorded lecturer’s utterances during two periods of meeting, and note-takingtaken from observations and interviews. The results revealed that the lecturer usedto employ questioning technique to activate students’ schemata. Various strategieswere predominantly occupied in lecturer’s questioning behaviors to engagestudents in question-answer activities, such as probing, redirecting andreinforcement. Generally, those strategies were observed not only to providemotivation and focus students’ attention towards the topic being discussed, but alsoto give a wide chance of opportunity for them to recall their prior knowledge andease them to predict the content of reading texts they were going to read. Besides,the language the lecturer used under this investigation was fairly fulfilled therequirements to be communicative as some communicative features of talks wereutilized properly, such as referential questions, content feedback, and speechmodification to optimize students' participation and performance in the process ofreading.
MODEL MANAJEMEN MUTU PEMBELAJARAN ENTREPRENUERSHIP BERBASIS SISTEM NILAI: Studi Analisis Kualitatif di Pondok Pesantren Sidogiri Pasuruan Jawa Timur
Authors: Thoyib Muhammad
Published: October 2016

Abstrak:Realitas eksistensi pesantren semakin nyata pentingnya manakala melihat perkembangan pesantren di Indonesia saat ini, khususnya pesantren di wilayah Jawa Timur sebagai representasi ‘induk semang’ lahirnya pondok pesantren di nusantara yang semakin pesat. Namun di tengah arus globalisasi yang begitu pesat ini, justru kondisi sebagian besar pesantren di Indonesia mengalami degradasi kualitas pembelajaran yang luar biasa, bahkan banyak yang ‘gulung tikar’. Dalam konteks itulah, upaya mengem­bangkan model manajemen mutu pembelajaran entrepreneurship berbasis sistem nilai di sejumlah pesantren di Indonesia, menjadi sangat urgen se­bagai upaya memunculkan prototipe ‘pesantren nusantara masa depan’ yang lebih kokoh akan tradisi keilmuan, dan kewirausahaan (entrepre­neurship) sekaligus yang ditopang oleh nilai-nilai keilmuan, profesionalitas dan kepesantrenan yang integratif, sehingga ke depan mampu menjadi pondok pesantren yang lebih kompetitif dalam percaturan dunia pendidikan global. Hasil penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa: (1). Sistem nilai yang dikembangkan oleh Pondok Pesantren Sidogiri Pasuruan dalam mendukung manajemen entreprenuershipnya mencakup 3 komponen, yaitu profesio­nalitas, keilmuan dan kepesantrenan; (2). Tingkat mutu pembelajaran entrepreneurshipnya dapat dikatakan sangat baik, karena didukung oleh nilai pembelajaran yang rata-rata tinggi dan stabil di antara para santri entreprenuernya, termasuk omzet 1.25 trilyun yang telah dihasilkannya; dan (3) Aplikasi model manajemen mutu pembelajaran entreprenuershipnya telah sesuai dengan prinsip manajemen mutu yang berbijak khususnya pada 3 aspek utama, yaitu perencanaan mutu, pelaksanaan mutu dan evaluasi mutu pembelajaran entreprenuershipnya.Kata Kunci: Manajemen, Mutu, Pembelajaran, Entreprenuership
Zeolite Combined with Alum and Polyaluminum Chloride Mixed with Agricultural Slurries Reduces Carbon Losses in Runoff from Grassed Soil Boxes

Published: October 2016

Carbon (C) losses from agricultural soils to surface waters can migrate through water treatment plants and result in the formation of disinfection by‐products, which are potentially harmful to human health. This study aimed to quantify total organic carbon (TOC) and total inorganic C losses in runoff after application of dairy slurry, pig slurry, or milk house wash water (MWW) to land and to mitigate these losses through coamendment of the slurries with zeolite (2.36–3.35 mm clinoptilolite) and liquid polyaluminum chloride (PAC) (10% Al2O3) for dairy and pig slurries or liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) (8% Al2O3) for MWW. Four treatments under repeated 30‐min simulated rainfall events (9.6 mm h−1) were examined in a laboratory study using grassed soil runoff boxes (0.225 m wide, 1 m long; 10% slope): control soil, unamended slurries, PAC‐amended dairy and pig slurries (13.3 and 11.7 kg t−1, respectively), alum‐amended MWW (3.2 kg t−1), combined zeolite and PAC‐amended dairy (160 and 13.3 kg t−1 zeolite and PAC, respectively) and pig slurries (158 and 11.7 kg t−1 zeolite and PAC, respectively), and combined zeolite and alum‐amended MWW (72 and 3.2 kg t−1 zeolite and alum, respectively). The unamended and amended slurries were applied at net rates of 31, 34, and 50 t ha−1 for pig and dairy slurries and MWW, respectively. Significant reductions of TOC in runoff compared with unamended slurries were measured for PAC‐amended dairy and pig slurries (52 and 56%, respectively) but not for alum‐amended MWW. Dual zeolite and alum‐amended MWW significantly reduced TOC in runoff compared with alum amendment only. We conclude that use of PAC‐amended dairy and pig slurries and dual zeolite and alum‐amended MWW, although effective, may not be economically viable to reduce TOC losses from organic slurries given the relatively low amounts of TOC measured in runoff from unamended slurries compared with the amounts applied.

Core Ideas

Slurry application to land may increase carbon concentration in surface runoff.

PAC, alum, and zeolite were used to mitigate carbon losses in surface runoff.

Dual application of zeolite and chemical amendments reduced TOC losses.

Use of amendments may not be economically viable to reduce TOC losses.

Core Ideas

Soil C and N dynamics were still affected by past fertilization treatments (8 yr).

Soil C and N dynamics were still affected by past tillage systems (3 yr).

Ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria were affected by ammonium concentration and pH.

Ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria and archaea were associated with N mineralization.

Poultry litter (PL) is widely used as an alternative to inorganic fertilizers (IF) in conventional (CT) and no‐tillage systems (NT). The objective of this work was to evaluate the legacy effect of a 16‐yr factorial study that combined fertilization (PL or IF) and tillage (CT or NT) treatments on soil C and N pools and microbial communities. Soil samples were collected from the 0 to 5 and 5 to 20 cm depths after 8 and 3 yr of suspending fertilization and tillage, respectively. Samples were analyzed for total organic C (TOC), total organic N (TON), N mineralization rate (k0), and abundance of ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA). The TOC and TON concentrations (range: 5.8–20.8 and 0.5–1.8 g kg−1, respectively) were affected by tillage system and fertilizer source. Legacies of fertilization and tillage affectedk0(range: 0.20–0.87 mg kg−1d−1) which was correlated with TOC and TON (r2∼ 0.9). The abundance of AOA (5.3–7.6 log10copies g−1) and AOB (7.1–8.9 copies log10g−1) was greater in CT than NT in the 0 to 5 cm layer, whereas the opposite was observed in the 5 to 20 cm layer. Both AOA and AOB were associated withk0(r2= 0.5 and 0.8, respectively), suggesting the dependence of ammonia oxidizers on mineralization of the organic N pool. Our results indicate that 8 and 3 yr after fertilization and tillage treatments were suspended, soil C and N and microbial dynamics were still being influenced by previous management practices.

This paper describes the first stages of a project focusing on the use of preservice-teacher-generated e-Portfolios as a means of documenting and assessing inquiry-based teaching and learning. The project is designed to explore ways in which preservice teacher-created e-Portfolios can be used to (1) document how inquiry lives in practice, and (2) help university instructors and practitioners in the field assess the knowledge, skills, and attributes of preservice teachers who are participating in an inquiry based teacher preparation program.
