Authors: Karimah Anisatul
Published: December 2020

More and more educational stakeholders are now concerned on learner autonomy (later will be abbreviated as LA) as a fundamental key to actualize an effective and successful instructional process. While research addressing strategies to promote LA has been conducted in ample amount, this research tries to include a more holistic coverage. This research aims at investigating strategies or activities that teachers implement in English language classroom in fostering LA, what reasons are behind the selection of those activities, and to what extent those activities enable LA to take place. Data were collected from 35 teacher respondents who have taught junior high school or higher levels. Questionnaire and semi-guided interview were employed to yield relevant data. Findings show that activities related to psychological dimension become the most favoured ones to apply in the classroom. It is followed by social, technical, and political dimensions accordingly.  Those activities are applicable to certain situations and extent.

Published: December 2020

This study was aimed at identifying the the effect of learning strategies and initial knowledge  on the ability in developing writing skills assessment instruments for students in the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program, FBS, UNJ. The method used in this research was experimental research with 46 samples. Sample 3 PB1 was treated with metacognition strategy and sample 3 PB2 was treated, with strategy advance organizer. The research instrument was a test of the ability to develop writing skills assessment instruments and a test of initial knowledge. After testing the hypothesis with the ANOVA test, in the 2 X 2 calculation table, Fcount (Inter-A) 6.008> Ftable 4.200 at the level of α = 0.05, indicating that H1 is accepted and Ho is rejected. This means that there are differences in ability to develop writing skills assessment instruments between students who are treated with metacognition strategies and strategies advance organizer. Furthermore, testing the hypothesis about the effect of the interaction of learning strategies and initial knowledge on the ability to develop writing skills assessment instruments and testing prior knowledge, data shows arithmetic (AxB interaction) = 5.485> ftable = 4,200 on the level of α = 0.05, H1 accepted and Ho rejected. That is, there is an interaction effect between learning strategies (metacognition strategies and strategies advance organizer) and initial knowledge (high and low) on the ability to develop writing assessment skills instruments. The learning outcomes of the ability to develop students' writing assessment skills instruments are influenced by learning strategies and initial knowledge.

Dalgacık Dönüşüm Modelli Yapay Zekâ Teknikleri Kullanılarak Orta Anadolu Bölge İstasyonlarının Yağış Tahmini
Authors: ÇITAKOĞLU Hatice , COŞKUN Ömer
Published: December 2020

Meteorolojik koşullarda önemli bir parametre olan yağış verilerinin belirlenmesi; tarım, enerji, çevre, ulaşım, lojistik ve afet kontrolü gibi birçok sektörü doğrudan etkilemektedir. Geleceğe yönelik yağış verilerinin doğru tahmin edilmesi, özellikle insanların günlük hayatını kolaylaştıracaktır. Önceki dönemlere ait yağış verilerinin kullanılması, gelecek dönemlerin yağış tahminlerine ve erken uyarı sistemlerinin kurulmasına olanak sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’nin Orta Anadolu Bölgesi istasyonlarının 1990−2015 yılları arasındaki aylık yağış verileri kullanılarak geleceğe yönelik yağış tahminleri yapılmıştır. Yağış tahmini için iki farklı yaklaşımda bulunulmuştur. Bu yaklaşımlardan ilki, önceki dönemlere ait istasyonların aylık yağış verilerine sadece yapay sinir ağı (YSA) ve uyarlamalı sinirsel bulanık çıkarım sisteminin (ANFIS) uygulanmasıdır. Diğer yaklaşım ise dalgacık dönüşüm modelinin hemYSA hem de ANFIS’e uygulanmasıdır. Bu modellerde 1990−2009 yılları arasındaki aylık yağış verileri eğitim verileri olarak, 2010−2015 yılları arasındaki veriler ise test verileri olarak kullanılmıştır. Yağış verileri t−2 ve t−1 zamanları için giriş verisi olarak kullanılmış olup t zamanındaki yağışlar tahmin edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu modellerin tahmin performansları, determinasyon katsayısı gibi istatistiksel kriterlere göre değerlendirilmiştir. Determinasyon katsayısına (0.011 ile 0.189) göreyağış verilerine YSA ve ANFIS metotları uygulanması ile yapılan tahminler kötü sonuçlar vermektedir. Determinasyon katsayısına göre Dalgacık dönüşümlü YSA (DD−YSA) vedalgacık dönüşümlü ANFIS (DD−ANFIS) modelleri ise geleceğe dönük yağış verilerinin tahmininde daha başarılıdır. Ayrıca bu çalışmada ortaya çıkan önemli sonuçlardan biri de istatistiksel kriterlere göreDD−ANFIS ve DD−YSA modellerinin birbirine çok yakın sonuçlar vermesidir.

Published: December 2020

Introdução: Valproic acid (VPA), used to treat epilepsy, may present hematological abnormalities as complications. One such example is bleeding associated with trauma. We herein report a case about large subgaleal hemorrhage that occurred after a mild head trauma in a child following VPA administration. Case Report: A 12-year-old female child diagnosed with Rett Syndrome had difficulty in controlling epilepsy and was taking 50 mg/kg/day VPA. After suffering from a mild head trauma, a large subgaleal hematoma was evidenced on Computed Tomography(CT) scan of head. Surgical intervention was performed, with drainage of the hematoma, and the patient showed progression. Discussion: The incidence of coagulopathy related to VPA is 4%, and thrombocytopenia is the most common coagulation disorder. Hemorrhagic complications can occur regardless of the plasma levels or duration of treatment. In VPA therapy, the side effects should be considered, particularly hematological abnormalities. In our case, an unusual hemorrhagic complication (subgaleal hematoma) was reported, with good surgical resolution of the pathology.

Published: December 2020

Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk mengevaluasi input kebijakan pariwisata di Kabupaten Siak yang mengusung pengembangan pariwisata berbasis kearifan lokal. Ide dasar dari tulisan ini berangkat dari kegelisahan dalam mengamati fenomena pengembangan pariwisata berbasis kearifan lokal yang dianggap kuno, tidak menarik dan tertinggal. Terlebih dalam era globalisasi, kekhawatiran akan pudarnya kearifan lokal yang dikelilingi oleh budaya barat dan budaya lainnya menjadi tantangan tersendiri bagi eksistensi kearifan lokal. Namun berbeda yang terjadi di Kabupaten Siak, kearifan lokal justru menjadi daya tawar dalam kebijakan pariwisata. Sehingga menjadi penting untuk melacak penguatan kearifan lokal dalam kebijakan pariwisata Kabupaten Siak dari sisi input kebijakan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif melalui pendekatan studi kasus. Melalui teori evaluasi kebijakan Stufflebeam, penelitian ini fokus untuk menganalisis input evaluation mengingat aspek input menjadi kunci kesuksesan sebuah kebijakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan pengembangan pariwisata tidak dapat dilepaskan dari dukungan input kebijakan berupa sumber daya manusia, sarana dan prasarana, rencana strategis pengembangan pariwisata serta dukungan anggaran. Di Kabupaten Siak, sumber daya manusia yang bekerja pada Dinas pariwisata masih terbatas secara kualitas dan kuantitas. Pengembangan pariwisata di Kabupaten Siak juga dihadapkan pada situasi belum optimalnya pemanfaatan kemajuan teknologi komunikasi dan informasi sebagai salah satu sarana pemasaran dan promosi pariwisata. Dilihat dari regulasi, Kabupaten Siak memiliki keunggulan regulasi melalui visi daerah yang berorientasi pada kebudayaan dan pariwisata, tersedianya roadmap kebudayaan melayu dan PERDA yang mengatur tentang bahasa dan pakaian melayu. Sedangkan dari aspek pendanaan, penyerapan anggaran pada Dinas Pariwisatan masih belum maksimal disebabkan oleh keterbatasan sumber daya aparatur yang terlibat dalam pengelolaan kegiatan.

Published: December 2020

The changing lifestyle and dietary pattern has given way to many gynecological problems in females. Uterine fibroids are one of leading concerns for women in reproductive age. Though uterine fibroids are non- cancerous in character; they exhibit a wide range of symptoms like dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, metrorrhagia, low backache etc. It significantly hampers the general health and quality of life in women causing great mental agony. Contemporary treatment protocols include hormonal therapy, hysterectomy, myomectomy and uterine artery embolization. Reluctance to undergo prolonged hormone therapy, the fear of surgery brings more and more patient to Ayurveda. Hence more systematic studies in conservative management in these areas of Stree Roga are need of the hour.

Ayurveda classics mention various pathological conditions that have features similar to fibroids. Owing to its muscular origin, with slow growth may be better compared to Granthi in Garbhasya. In the modern era of busy lifestyle, intake of junk food, lack of exercise etc had lead to Agnivaishamya and Ama formation. This in turn vitiates Doshas like Kapha and Vata and Dushyas like Rasa, Raktha, Mamsa, Medas and Arthava resulting in Dhatwagnimandya leading to formation of Garbhasayagranthi. The treatment approach is directed towards reducing size of fibroids using Ushna, Tiskhna, Lekhana Dravyas along with management of symptoms. The inevitable roles of Vata in Yoniroga is also taken into account in its management. Combining different treatment aspects of Granthi and Yoni Roga Chitksa, a unique approach towards the management of its varied presentations added on with lifestyle modification can contribute to healthy social life. The current article focuses and explores potentials of Ayurveda in different aspects of uterine fibroid.

Women’s health is extremely valuable and source of healthy nation. There are so many diseases that affects quality of life of women; cervical erosion is one among them. On the basis of etiopathogenesis, clinical features, complications and principles of treatment; Karnini Yonivyapad is very near to cervical erosion. 'Karnini Yonivyapada' is a disease caused by vitiation of Vata and Kapha dosha while affected dhatu is Rakta. Treatment is aimed at Vata-Kaphashamaka and Raktashodhaka. In cervical erosion, there is replacement of squamous epithelium of ectocervix by columnar epithelium of endo cervical canal. Although it is a benign condition but ignorance of this disease may lead to infertility and cervical malignancy. The treatment of cervical erosion is designed to destruct the columnar epithelium and to promote the re-epithelization of the squamous tissues. Electric cauterization and laser are the standard treatment modalities of erosion in modern medical science which are the modified form of Agnikarma but so many side effect associated with them. In the present study, the management of cervical erosion was done through Agnikarma by Jamabbadan shalaka and found as better alternative in the management of Karnini (Cervical erosion).

Computer Vision Syndrome is the new nomenclature to the visual, ocular, and systemic symptoms arising due to the long time and improper working on the computer. Computer Vision Syndrome is a repetitive strain disorder as defined by the American Optometric. With progressive increase in the usage of computers, the term Repeated Stress Injury has found a place in contemporary medical science. The ocular complaints experienced by computer users typically include eyestrain, eye fatigue, burning sensations, irritation, redness, blurred vision, and dry eyes, among others. This group of symptoms is called Asthenopia. The incidence of Computer Vision Syndrome is as high as 50% to 90% among the employees of computer occupation. The causes for the inefficiencies and the visual symptoms are a combination of individual visual problems and poor office ergonomics. Material & Methods: In this clinical study on CVS, 60 patients were registered from Shalakya tantra OPD, and all of them completed the treatment. In Group A, 30 patients were prescribed Abhijeet Taila for Pratimarsha Nasya and in Group B, 30 patients were prescribed Haritaki Modak tablets internally and Abhijeet Taila for Pratimarsha Nasya. Results: In total, 20% and 33.33% patients got completely cured in Group A and B respectively. Discussion: Both the drugs were effective in managing the condition, but it was observed they were more effective when given together. Multi-centric studies with larger sample size on the same drugs should be carried out to evaluate the effect of the drugs and, also so that the observations can be noted well and can be better suggested.

Las herramientas para evaluar el grado de control glucémico se modificaron últimamente. La hemoglobina glicosilada (HbA1c), parámetro de referencia (gold standard), refleja el control glucémico de los últimos tres meses de manera retrospectiva, sin expresar la variabilidad glucémica. El automonitoreo glucémico capilar (AGC) brinda información inmediata y prospectiva, pero dispone de pocos datos glucémicos para generar promedios y desviaciones estándares representativas. No detecta tendencias y tiene limitaciones para obtener datos nocturnos o durante la actividad física. Es invasivo y muchas veces rechazado. Contrariamente, el monitoreo continuo de glucosa (MCG) mide la glucosa instantáneamente, y muestra sus tendencias y su variabilidad en forma continua, incorporando nuevas métricas de control.

Authors: Roy Xavier , Arseneault Keven , Sercia Pierre
Published: December 2020

This study compared the activation of the clavicular, sternocostal and abdominal heads of the pectoralis major (PM) and the long portion of the triceps brachii during the execution of the bench press with several inclinations, grip types, and grip widths. Thirteen healthy men with more than a year of resistance training experience participated in this study. The subjects performed 6 repetitions of various variations of the bench press at angles of -15°, 0° and 30° with grip width of 100% and 200% of their biacromial width in both pronation and supination with a load equivalent of their respective 12RM for each movement. EMG, bar acceleration and shoulder angle were recorded during each repetition. Activation of the clavicular head of the PM was, compared to a wide pronation at 0°, significantly higher at a close pronation at 0°and 30°; during a close supination at 30° and during a wide supination at 30°. Activation of the sternocostal head of the PM was, during a wide pronation at 0°, significantly higher than during a close supination at 0°, 30° and -15°; during a wide supination at 30; during a wide supination at 0° and 30° and at close pronation at 30° and -15°. Activation of the abdominal head of the PM was significantly better with wide pronation at -15° and 0° compared to all positions at 30°. Triceps brachii were better solicited during close pronation at 0° and -15° compared to supinated grip at 0° and 30°. Results from this study show that the bench press exercise performed with a wide pronation grip at 0° can maximize the activation of the three heads of the PM.
Overcoming inefficiencies in clinical research by fostering a systems approach and core competencies for biomedical professionals involved in medicines development
Authors: Silva Honorio , Kennedy Larry , Koski Greg , Sonstein Stephen , Stonier Peter
Published: December 2020

Clinical trials constitute the largest single component in
medicines development, representing nearly 40 % of the
related expenses. However, there is broad agreement
that the current clinical trial system is inefficient. The
biopharmaceutical industry, governments, regulatory
agencies, academic researchers, the medical
profession, and the media should work collaboratively
and create efficient clinical trial networks. Clinical
Research in Medicines Development (CR/MD) can
be defined as an open system involving the above-
mentioned stakeholders interconnected through a
series of processes aimed to bring effective and safe
medicines into the market. A systems approach is needed
to overcome the current barriers to a cost/effective
process including appropriate risk management. A
simple conceptual model of an integrated system is
proposed. The obstacles to implementation are also
discussed. Lack of an appropriately trained multi-professional
workforce both in the industry-related and the academic
clinical research field is also a significant part of the
problem. The root of the problem resides in the lack
of proper education in CR/MD at the undergraduate
and postgraduate levels among academic institutions.
Competency-based education has been proposed as
a model for improving the quality and accountability
for specific functions involved in the drug development
process. Despite the growing awareness of competency-
based education and the need for implementation of
systems-thinking, its full adoption is still far on the
horizon. Resistance to change is one of the obstacles
to overcome. Continuing efforts to creating further
awareness are key responsibilities of professional
associations and academic institutions involved in
CR/MD.

Latin America is a region full of challenges due to its
characteristics. The COVID-19 pandemic arrived
in an unprepared region that must take action for
controlling an emergency of a large magnitude, which
is not surprising because of the economic decline,
the increase in hunger, and informal employment
experienced in recent decades. Previous efforts to
eradicate hunger and move closer to meeting the
number two goal of sustainable development are facing
now a setback given the slowdown in activities because
of the pandemic. The projection of the increase in
intraregional poverty reported by CEPAL is a call for
attention to the reformulation of policies associated
with the dimensions of poverty and in particular the
food and nutritional security of the population. Policies
should focus on two levels: an immediate level of
attention to the vulnerable population and another
dedicated to planning structural actions with a view
to the middle and long term.
Policies to control the COVID-19 pandemic in Costa Rica

Published: December 2020

The objective of this paper is to present a series of
policies for the control of the COVID-19 pandemic
by the Costa Rican authorities. An exhaustive review
of the pandemic control policies was made in the
official government media, mainly the Ministry of
Health and the Costa Rican Social Security Fund
and some collective media. The first wave of the
pandemic in Costa Rica was quite mild, allowing the
government to address it with a series of quite effective
suppression and mitigation measures, which had the
unrestricted support of the population. The second
wave grew aggressively, causing social discontent due
to the economic impact. Due to the ineffectiveness of
the “hammer and dance” strategy, the Costa Rican
government has rethought that strategy, lifting certain
restrictions while recognizing the risk involved in
terms of the increase in cases of COVID-19 in cases
and deaths.
Ebû Ca’fer Muhammed bin Abdullah el-İskâfî’nin Hayatı, Şahsiyeti ve Kelâmî Görüşleri

Published: December 2020

Erken dönem Mu’tezile kelâmcılarından biri olan Ebû Ca’fer Muhammed b. Abdullah el-İskâfî, (ö.240/854) kelâm ilmi ile ilgili sahip olduğu bilgi birikimini kullanarak İslam inanç ilkelerini daha çok akli ilkelerle savunmuştur. Mu’tezilenin genel metoduna uygun olarak tevhid, zat sıfat ilişkisi, halku’l-Kur’an, adalet, hüsün ve kubuh gibi konuları teşbihten uzak tenzihi önceleyen bir bakış açısıyla açıklamaya çalışmıştır. Allah’ın varlığını akli olarak ispat etmek amacıyla âlemin bütün unsurlarıyla hâdis olduğunu savunmuştur. Ayrıca yaşadığı dönemde sosyal bir problem olan imâmet konusu ile ilgili daha faziletli imâm varken faziletli olanın imâm olmasını meşru görerek Şia ile diğer Müslümanlar arasındaki bu sorunu çözmeye çalışmıştır. Makalede müellifin ilahiyat ve âlem ile ilgili görüşleri daha çok klasik kelâm kaynaklarından, imâmet ile ilgili düşünceleri ise müellifin eserlerinden faydalanılarak tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmamız, İslam düşüncesinin teşekkül döneminde İslam inancını savunan kelâmcıların görüşlerini dönemin şartları gözetilerek tarafsız bir şekilde ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir. Bilindiği gibi İslam kelâmının oluşumuna katkı sunan ilk dönem kelâmcılarının yazdığı eserlerin büyük bir kısmı günümüze ulaşmamıştır. İslam kelâmının hangi şartlarda oluştuğu ve şekillendiğinin doğru bir şekilde öğrenilmesi açısından erken dönem kelâmcılarının görüşlerinin bilinmesi önem arz etmektedir.

Published: December 2020

Este dossiê fecha o ano de publicação de 2020; um ano marcado pelas experiências dolorosas que resultaram em mais de 180 mil vidas ceifadas pela pandemia causada pela Covid-19. Esses dados não levam em consideração as vidas perdidas que não entraram na contagem oficial, nem aquelas cuja causa da morte foi atribuída à síndrome respiratória aguda grave (SARS, do inglês Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). Portanto, já é motivo de alegria e esperança o fato de chegarmos ao fim do ano de 2020 vivos — mesmo com a lida relacionada às perdas pessoais e coletivas — e estarmos com saúde, produzindo reflexões sobre o Ensino de História.Todavia, também experienciamos sentimentos de preocupação, sobretudo com o atual cenário político do Brasil, que mostra a crescente polarização e ascensão de posturas e práticas fascistas no País. As políticas públicas de Educação igualmente despertam preocupação, em especial a política direcionada à formação do professor. Uma formação que se fundamenta na Resolução do Conselho Nacional de Educação (CNE) nº 2, de 20 de dezembro de 2019, que estabelece as diretrizes para a formação docente.

Published: December 2020

The equipments based on the power electronics have been improved under the name of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) in the last years. Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is the most widely used FACTS device to control the power flow and to optimize the system stability in the transmission line. UPFC is a FACTS devices that can control active and reactive power flow in transmission line by means of injection controllable series voltage to the transmission line. This paper proposes a new connection for a Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) to control the active and reactive power flow control in two sides of a transmission line independently and it regulates bus voltage in the same transmission line, furthermore it is possible to balance line current too. This connection of the UPFC will be called an center node UPFC (C_UPFC). It is one of the newest devices within the FACTS technology. The structure and capability of the C_UPFC is discussed and its control scheme is based on the d-q orthogonal
coordinates. According to this, the performance of UPFC for several modes of operations using different control mechanisms based on Proportional-Integral (PI) and PID based controllers has been studied. The obtained simulation results from Matlab/simulink confirm the effective features.
A Space Vector PWM Scheme for Three level Inverters Based on Two-Level Space Vector PWM
Authors: Rani D. Sandhya , Appaprao A.
Published: December 2020

Multilevel inverters are increasingly being used in high-power medium voltage applications due to their superior performance compared to two-level inverters. Among various modulation techniques for a multilevel inverter, the space vector pulse width
modulation (SVPWM) is widely used. The complexity is due to the difficulty in determining the location of the reference vector, the calculation of ontimes, and the determination and selection of switching states. This paper proposes a general SVPWM algorithm for multilevel inverters based on standard two-level SVPWM. Since the proposed multilevel SVPWM method uses two-level modulation to calculate the on-times, the computation
of on-times for an n-level inverter becomes easier. The proposed method uses a simple mapping to achieve the SVPWM for a multilevel inverter. A general n-level
implementation is explained, and experimental results are given for two-level and three-level inverters.
