“Patriotc Work” of Yu.F. Samarin
Authors: Shirinyants Aleksandr A.
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the outstanding Russian thinker and social figure of the conservative-protective (“khranitel”) ideology – Yuri F. Samarin (1819–1876). One of the aspects of his work was connected with raising the “Baltic issue” – the issue of “inner” Russophobia of Baltic Germans, who supported “centrifugal” aspirations of the Western outlying areas of the Russian Empire, as well as the issues of the situation with Russians, Russian language and Orthodox religion in the Baltic areas, oppression and Germanization of the local population by the Baltic barons, weakness of central authorities pursuing the “liberal” policy in the area that contradicted the national interests of Russia. Samarin’s views and statements caused government repressions against him as well as fierce Baltic-oriented media attacks. But M.N. Katkov, I.S. Aksakov and M.P. Pogodin supported Samarin. Their joint efforts made the government change its attitude to the Baltic issue, draw a perspective plan and start carrying out reforms in the area that were directed to full consolidation of the Baltic areas with Russia. But later events showed the realization of Samarin’s predictions, – in the 20th century the central authorities stopped paying due attention to the outlying areas and it marked the start of the country disintegration.
Virtually Authentic: Graduate Students’ Perspective Changes toward Authentic Learning while Collaborating in a Virtual World
Authors: Han Songhee , Resta Paul E.
Published: December 2020

This qualitative case study investigates graduate students’ perspective changes apropos their cross-national collaborative learning experience while participating in an online teaching and learning course jointly taught by graduate schools in the United States and Israel. The participants met virtually, on a weekly basis between November and December 2018, on a platform called Second Life, to design and participate in collaborative learning activities. On completion of the course, interviews were conducted with a small sample of student-participants regarding their experiences. During the design phase, participants’ dominant perceptions of their learning experiences were characterized by genuine “excitement” at the novelty of collaborating virtually with colleagues on the other side of the world. Their initial perceptions evolved during the participation phase to realization as learning communities emerged and students’ roles expanded beyond the scope of mere participants. In this study, the authors argue that participants’ construction of new knowledge resulted in authentic learning from the standpoints of social constructivism and online collaborative learning theory and further discuss the factors that enabled the participants’ authentic learning experience.

Authors: Lowenthal Patrick R. , Moore Robert L.
Published: December 2020

Asynchronous video-based discussions have affordances that can address some of the constraints of asynchronous text-based discussions. However, little research has been conducted on the use of asynchronous video-based discussions in online courses. As a result, the purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate students’ perceptions of using Flipgrid for asynchronous video-based discussions in fully online courses. We used a cross-sectional survey design to survey 79 students who used Flipgrid in a fully online course. Students overall reported that they liked using Flipgrid, it was easy to use, and that it helped improve social presence. In this paper, we will report the results of our inquiry and implications for research and practice.
Manajemen Zakat, Infaq, dan Shadaqah di Badan Amil Zakat Nasional (BAZNAS) Kabupaten Banyumas
Authors: Hadi Rahmini
Published: December 2020

Sesuai dengan Undang-undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2011, dalam rangka pengelolaan zakat pada tingkat provinsi dan kabupaten/kota, Kabupaten Banyumas membentuk BAZNAS untuk meningkatkan perolehan pengumpulan dana zakatnya. Proses reorganisasi BAZNAS Kabupaten Banyumas telah merampingkan pimpinan BAZNAS menjadi lima orang saja. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, fungsi-fungsi manajemen telah diterapkan BAZNAS dalam pengelolaan zakat, infaq, dan shadaqah di Kabupaten Banyumas. Proses perencanaan melalui 3 (tiga) langkah, yaitu: menentukan target pengumpulan zakat, infaq, dan shadaqah; menentukan besarnya penyaluran zakat, infaq, dan shadaqah untuk ditasarufkan pada setiap program BAZNAS. Pelaksanaan fungsi pengorganisasian tampak pada struktur organisasi BAZNAS yang menggambarkan pengelompokkan kegiatan sehingga  kegiatan  yang  sejenis dan saling berhubungan dapat dikerjakan bersama. Kepemimpinan pimpinan BAZNAS yang mengarahkan segenap SDMnya melaksanakan program dan kegiatan untuk mewujudakan tujuan BAZNAS merupakan bentuk pelaksanaan fungsi pengarahan.  Mekanisme pengawasan dilaksanakan secara internal dan eksternal. Tingkat pendidikan dan pengalaman SDM BAZNAS menjadi faktor pendukung dalam proses perencanaan, fungsi pengorganisasian, pengarahan (actuating), serta memudahkan pengawasan dan koordinasi oleh pimpinan BAZNAS. Jumlah SDM BAZNAS Kabupaten Banyumas yang hanya 21 orang menjadi faktor penghambat ketika dikaitkan dengan luas wilayah Kabupaten Banyumas. Selain itu, jumlah mustahiq yang lebih besar dibandingkan dengan muzakki, kesadaran berzakat masyarakat masih rendah sehingga inisiatif membayar zakat masih rendah, serta sistem manajemen baik secara IT maupun manual yang belum memadai, merupakan faktor penghambat penerapan fungsi-fungsi manajemen, khususnya fungsi pengorganisasian dan pengarahan.

Authors: Widyastuti Emy
Published: December 2020

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji urgensi optimalisasi pembiayaan mudharabah sebagai core product perbankan syariah di Indonesia. Pembiayaan mudharabah merupakan salah satu produk pembiayaan di perbankan syariah yang menggunakan skema bagi hasil (PLS-Profit and Loss Sharing). Bagi hasil inilah yang menjadi identitas bank syariah dan membedakannya dengan bunga pada bank konvensional. Dalam praktiknya, pembiayaan mudharabah ini jarang diimplementasikan dan mempunyai proporsi paling kecil dari keseluruhan pembiayaan yang disalurkan oleh perbankan syariah. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif deskriptif eksploratif untuk mengkaji urgensi optimalisasi pembiayaan mudharabah perbankan syariah yang ada di Indonesia. Data OJK (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan) tahun 2019 menunjukkan jumlah pembiayaan mudharabah yang disalurkan sebesar 5,41 triliun sedangkan pembiayaan murabahah sebesar 121,04 triliun dari keseluruhan total pembiayaan sebesar 219,67 triliun. Kondisi memprihatinkan ini mengharuskan semua pihak untuk berpartisipasi dalam upaya mengoptimalisasi pembiayaan mudharabah sebagai pembiayaan produktif yang diyakini ideal oleh para ahli fiqih karena adanya keadilan di dalamnya.

Exploring Latent Profiles of Stereotype Threat Susceptibility in U.S. and Colombian Students
Authors: Picho Katherine , Rojas-Ospina Tatiana , Caicedo Adriana María
Published: December 2020

Introduction:  The present study investigated the theoretical Stereotyping Threat-susceptibility groups proposed by Steele (1997) by using a latent class analysis. Method: 413 undergraduate students from the U.S and Colombia, majoring in various Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) and non-STEM disciplines completed a stereotype threat susceptibility measure-- the Social Identities and Attitudes Scale, SIAS (Picho & Brown, 2011). Results: For U.S. women in STEM results indicated the presence of three ST susceptibility profiles (i.e., low and high ST susceptibility classes and a disengaged class) and two variations of an un-identified class in the non-STEM sample. High and low susceptibility to ST classes were found for Colombian women in STEM, while the non-STEM sample yielded disengaged and un-identified classes. In both countries, over 70% of the women in STEM were classified as highly susceptible to ST. Discussion: This is the first study investigating latent profiles of susceptibility to ST (SST) so additional replication with samples from different populations is strongly recommended. Extensive investigation into latent profiles of ST susceptibility could provide the insight required to develop differentiated ST reduction strategies for students in STEM and non-STEM fields of study.

Implementasi K-Nearest Neighbor untuk Klasifikasi Bunga Dengan Ekstraksi Fitur Warna RGB
Authors: Farokhah Lia
Published: December 2020

Era computer vision merupakan era dimana komputer dilatih untuk bisa melihat, mengidentifikasi dan mengklasifikasi seperti kecerdasan manusia. Algoritma klasifikasi berkembang dari yang paling sederhana seperti K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) sampai Convolutional Neural Networks. KNN merupakan algoritma klasifikasi yang paling sederhana dalam mengklasifikasikan sebuah gambar kedalam sebuah label. Metode ini mudah dipahami dibandingkan metode lain karena mengklasifikasikan berdasarkan jarak terdekat dengan objek lain (tetangga). Tujuan penelitian ini untuk membuktikan kelemahan metode KNN dan ekstraksi fitur warna RGB dengan karakteristik tertentu. Percobaan pertama dilakukan terhadap dua objek dengan kemiripan bentuk tetapi dengan  warna yang  mencolok di salah satu sisi objek. Percobaan kedua terhadap dua objek yang memiliki perbedaan karakteristik bentuk meskipun memiliki kemiripan warna. Empat objek tersebut adalah bunga coltsfoot, daisy, dandelion dan matahari. Total data dalam dataset adalah 360 data. Dataset memiliki tantangan variasi sudut pandang, penerangan, dan  gangguan dalam latar. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kolaborasi metode klasifikasi KNN dengan ekstraksi fitur warna RGB memiliki kelemahan terhadap percobaan pertama dengan akurasi 50-60% pada K=5. Percobaan kedua memiliki akurasi sekitar 90-100% pada K=5. Peningkatan akurasi, precision dan recall terjadi ketika menaikkan jumlah K yaitu dari K=1menjadi K=3 dan K=5.Kata kunci: k-nearest neighbour, RGB, kelemahan, kemiripan, bunga  IMPLEMENTATION OF K-NEAREST NEIGHBOR FOR FLOWER CLASSIFICATION WITH EXTRACTION OF RGB COLOR FEATURESThe era of computer vision is an era where computers are trained to be able to see, identify and classify as human intelligence. Classification algorithms develop from the simplest such as K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) to Convolutional Neural Networks. KNN is the simplest classification algorithm in classifying an image into a label. This method is easier to understand than other methods because it classifies based on the closest distance to other objects (neighbors). The purpose of this research is to prove the weakness of the KNN method and the extraction of RGB color features for specific characteristics. The first  experiment on two objects with similar shape but with sharp color on one side of the object. The second experiment is done on two objects that have different shape characteristics even having a similar colors. The four objects are coltsfoot, daisy, dandelion and sunflower. Total data in the dataset is 360 data. The dataset has the challenge of varying viewpoints, lighting and background noise. The results show that the collaboration of the KNN classification method with RGB color feature extraction has weakness in the first experiment with the level of accuracy about 50-60% at K = 5. The second experiment has an accuracy of around 90-100% at K = 5. Increased accuracy, precision and recall occur when increasing the amount of K, from K = 1 to K = 3 and K = 5.  Keywords: k-nearest neighbour, RGB, weakness, similar, flower
Comparison of Clustering K-Means, Fuzzy C-Means, and Linkage for Nasa Active Fire Dataset
Authors: Kurniawan Muchamad , Muhima Rani Rotul , Agustini Siti
Published: December 2020

One of the causes of forest fires is the lack of speed of handling when a fire occurs. This can be anticipated by determining how many extinguishing units are in the center of the hot spot. To get hotspots, NASA has provided an active fire dataset. The clustering method is used to get the most optimal centroid point. The clustering methods we use are K-Means, Fuzzy C-Means (FCM), and Average Linkage. The reason for using K-means is a simple method and has been applied in various areas. FCM is a partition-based clustering algorithm which is a development of the K-means method. The hierarchical based clustering method is represented by the Average Linkage method.  The measurement technique that uses is the sum of the internal distance of each cluster. Elbow evaluation is used to evaluate the optimal cluster. The results obtained after conducting the K-Means trial obtained the best results with a total distance of 145.35 km, and the best clusters from this method were 4 clusters. Meanwhile, the total distance values obtained from the FCM and Linkage methods were 154.13 km and 266.61 km.

Besinsel Destek Kullanımı: Voleybol Örneği
Authors: RUDARLI NALÇAKAN Gülbin , AKINCI Didem , YOL Yeliz , ERGİN Esin
Published: December 2020

Bu çalışmada amaç, voleybolda en çok kullanıldığı bildirilen besinsel destekler (C ve D vitamini, demir, magnezyum, kafein, sporcu ve enerji içecekleri, dallı zincirli aminoasitler, HMB, glutamin, whey, kreatin, bikarbonat, karnitin) hakkında bilgi vermektedir. Derlemenin içeriği, daha önce çok sayıda araştırmanın toplanıp yorumlandığı besinsel desteklerle ilgili derleme ve ilgili yayınların referans listeleri ile voleybolcular üzerinde yapılmış araştırma makaleleri özetlenerek oluşturulmuştur. İçeriğin hazırlanmasında derlemelerden yararlanılmasının nedeni, çok sayıda ve farklı sonuçlara ulaşan araştırma makalelerinin seçiminde ortaya çıkabilecek bireysel yanlılığı ortadan kaldırmaktır. Voleybolcular üzerindeki çalışma sayısının azlığı nedeniyle voleybolda besinsel destek (takviye/suplement) kullanımına özgü bilgi yetersiz olsa da, suplementler ile ilgili verilen bilgilerin okuyana fikir verecek yeterlilikte olduğu düşünülmektedir. Sonuç olarak, suplementlerin yararlarını araştıran çalışmalar yapılmaya devam etmektedir ve kullanım yanıtları yöntemsel ve bireysel farklılık gösterebilmektedir. Diğer takviyelerin vücutta eksikliği olmadığı sürece sporcuda sağlık veya performansı iyileştirmesi olası değildir. Hatta antrenmana daptasyonunu köreltmesi nedeniyle performansa, yaralanma riskini artırması nedeniyle de sağlığa zararlı etkileri olabilir.
Coronene: A High-Voltage Anion De-insertion Cathode for Potassium-Ion Battery
Authors: Kato Minami , Masese Titus , Yoshii Kazuki
Published: December 2020

Potassium-ion batteries have been envisioned to herald the age of low-cost and high-performance energy storage systems. However, the sparsity of viable components has dampened the progress of these energy devices. Thus, herein, we report coronene (not to be confused with ‘corona’), a high-voltage cathode material that manifests a high-voltage of 4.1 V enkindled by anion (de)insertion. This work not only illuminates the broad class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as prospective cathode materials but also sets a new benchmark for the performance of future organic cathode materials. It would be remiss not to mention that the timing of this submission is not related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and any similarities noted herein are coincidental. On the other hand, as a silver lining, this work epitomises a beacon of hope in these despairing times.

Loss of Jag1 cooperates with oncogenic Kras to induce pancreatic cystic neoplasms
Authors: Chung Wen-Cheng , Challagundla Lavanya , Zhou Yunyun , Li Min , Atfi Azeddine , Xu Keli
Published: December 2020

Notch signaling exerts both oncogenic and tumor-suppressive functions in the pancreas. In this study, deletion of Jag1 in conjunction with oncogenic KrasG12D expression in the mouse pancreas induced rapid development of acinar-to-ductal metaplasia and early stage pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasm; however, culminating in cystic neoplasms rather than ductal adenocarcinoma. Most cystic lesions in these mice were reminiscent of serous cystic neoplasm, and the rest resembled intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. Jag1 expression was lost or decreased in cystic lesions but retained in adenocarcinoma in these mice, so was the expression of Sox9. In pancreatic cancer patients, JAG1 expression is higher in cancerous tissue, and high JAG1 is associated with poor overall survival. Expression of SOX9 is correlated with JAG1, and high SOX9 is also associated with poor survival. Mechanistically, Jag1 regulates expression of Lkb1, a tumor suppressor involved in the development of pancreatic cystic neoplasm. Collectively, Jag1 can act as a tumor suppressor in the pancreas by delaying precursor lesions, whereas loss of Jag1 promoted a phenotypic switch from malignant carcinoma to benign cystic lesions.

Incomplete reduplication is a type of repetition in which one of the components is not used independently, but only gives a general meaning to the meaning. Inaccurate reductions are widely used, especially in oral speech. The use of this type of vocabulary in prose and dramatic works, which is often used in colloquial speech, serves to increase their naturalness and attractiveness.

The grammatical category of the form is a type of the Slavic language, which is used in an international terminology as an aspect, as form in the Slavic language, and in the Uzbek language as“tus”. The form means completed / uncompleted action of the verb. This linguistic phenomenon in Turkic languages is somewhat different from the Slavic form category. In Turkic, such as in Uzbek, the verb meaning is expressed by the main and auxiliary verbs rather than with one independent verb.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic is the major healthcare concern around the world. The infection is especially severe to those with immune system suppression, including patients with cancer. In order to mitigate the negative effects of COVID-19, guidelines have been developed by societies worldwide to review oncology care during this pandemic time. Neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NET) is a well-stablished option for hormone positive (HR) HER2 negative breast cancer and showed a positive response in breast conservative surgery with substantially less toxicity. Compared to chemotherapy, the NET cost is lower, and its administration is easier, due to less medical visits. Even with remarkable advantages, NET remains taking less place in treatments than it might have. Periods of humanity crisis, such as World Wars and other pandemics, boosted the development of science and established many treatments, which are currently practiced. New data generated during the COVID-19 outbreak can inspire more trials comparing chemotherapy to endocrine therapy within the neoadjuvant setting. The purpose of this letter is to suggest NET as a safe low toxicity treatment strategy for breast cancer, not only to postpone breast cancer surgery during the pandemic, but also to become a standard therapy, a flame kept burning crossing the COVID-19 border.

Published: December 2020

Groundnut (Arachis hypogeae. L) is an important oil seed grown in over 100 countries for its nutritional value. In order to improve its storability and value, various ways of processing the seeds have been adopted among which is the roasting and removal of husk or rind from the roasted groundnuts. The process of removing of groundnut husk is mostly done manually and inappropriate for large scale processing. In order to improve groundnut seed husk dehulling process through mechanization, a roasted groundnut seed dehulling machine was developed and the effects of operating speed of the machine and moisture content of the seed on the on the efficiency of the machine was studied. 1kg of the roasted groundnut in five replicates with moisture content of 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 and 2.2 % (w.b) respectively, was fed into the machine at different speed of 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 rpm for each replicate. The machine had the best dehulling efficiencies of 80%, 78%, 77%, 90% and 73% at the lowest speed (30 rpm) while the lowest efficiency of 57%, 49%, 53%, 52% and 46% was recorded at the highest speed (50 rpm) in all moisture content (1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 and 2.2%) respectively. The best performance efficiency of 90% was gotten at 30 rpm and moisture content of 2.0 % (w.b). Hence, an optimum operating condition was established for the machine.
Experimental investigation of insulation resistance for turbo generator digital protection
Authors: Bernard Akindade Adaramola  , Daniel Danjuma Chirpyen
Published: December 2020

Insulation of all electrical machinery is practically in the form of organic compounds that contain water as part of their make-up. Excessive temperature tends to dehydrate and oxidize the insulation and make it become brittle and disintegrate under vibration and shock. The insulation lifespan of turbo generators deteriorates slowly at low temperatures and more rapidly at high temperature. Economic factors, such as initial cost, replacement cost, obsolescence, and maintenance, are of prime importance when determining the years of useful service desired for the electrical insulation. Generator digital protection- fault diagnosis test was carried out to find out the cause of insulation breakdown on the turbo generator unit 411G3. The experimental procedure consists of an insulation resistance test, meggering (time-resistance absorption test), and pendulum over-speed test. A thorough investigation was conducted to identify all the stator bars that constituted the Red phase and other connections. Voltage drops on these stator bars were measured and values were used to detect ground faults which were rectified via an intelligent protection scheme.
