GURU SEBAGAI PEDOMAN DALAM PENDIDIK
Authors: Hanafi
Published: April 2021

Secara logik, setiap usaha pengembangan profesi (professionalization) harus bertolak dari konstruk profesi, untuk kemudian bergerak ke arah substansi spesifik bidangnya. Diletakkan dalam konteks pengembangan profesionalisme keguruan, maka setiap pembahasan konstruk profesi harus diikuti dengan penemukenalan muatan spesifik bidang keguruan. Lebih khusus lagi, penemukenalan muatan didasarkan pada khalayak sasaran profesi tersebut. Karena itu, pengembangan profesionalisme guru sekolah dasar atau madrasah ibtidaiyah akan menyentuh persoalan: sosok profesional secara umum, sosok profesional guru secara umum, dan sosok profesional guru sekolah dasar atau madrasah ibtidaiyah.Profesional adalah pekerjaan atau kegiatan yang dilakukan oleh seseorang dan menjadi sumber penghasilan kehidupan yang memerlukan keahlian, kemahiran, atau kecakapan yang memenuhi standar mutu atau norma tertentu serta memerlukan pendidikan profesi.
Verifying the universe is another way to ds space-time
Authors: Chen Wen-Xiang
Published: April 2021

In this paper, it is explained that the role of the cosmological constant in the De Sitter space is similar to that of the preset boundary conditions in the superradiation phenomenon. In the previous literature, superradiance at a given boundary condition can cause the uncertainty principle to be less extreme, and so the uncertainty principle to be less extreme without the given boundary condition, might be one way to prove that the universe is ds spacetime.
RapidHRV: an open-source toolbox for extracting heart rate and heart rate variability
Authors: Kirk Peter Alexander , Bryan Alexander Davidson , Garfinkel Sarah , Robinson Oliver Joe
Published: April 2021

Heart rate and heart rate variability have enabled insight into a myriad of psychophysiological phenomena. There is now an influx of research attempting using these metrics within both laboratory settings (typically derived through electrocardiography or pulse oximetry) and ecologically-rich contexts (via wearable photoplethysmography, i.e. smartwatches). However, these signals can be prone to artifacts and a low signal to noise ratio, which traditionally are detected and removed through visual inspection. Here, we developed an open-source Python package, RapidHRV, dedicated to the preprocessing, analysis, and visualization of heart rate and heart rate variability. Each of these modules can be executed with one line of code and includes automated cleaning. In simulated data, RapidHRV demonstrated excellent recovery of heart rate across most levels of noise (>= 10dB) and moderate-to-excellent recovery of heart rate variability even at relatively low signal to noise ratios (>=20dB) and sampling rates (>=20Hz). Validation in real datasets shows good-to-excellent recovery of heart rate and heart rate variability in electrocardiography and finger photoplethysmography recordings. Validation in wrist photoplethysmography demonstrated RapidHRV estimations were sensitive to heart rate and its variability under low motion conditions, but estimates were less stable under higher movement settings.
Structural Correlates of Mental Health Support Access Among Sexual Minority Youth of Color During COVID-19
Authors: Roulston Chantelle A , McKetta Sarah , Price Maggi , Fox Kathryn , Schleider Jessica L.
Published: April 2021

Objective: Many youth with mental health needs cannot access treatment, with multiply-marginalized youth, such as sexual minority youth of Color (SMYoC), experiencing both structural and identity-related barriers to care. The COVID-19 pandemic threatens to exacerbate multi-level treatment access barriers facing SMYoC youth nationwide. However, little large-scale research has examined access to mental health care among SMYoC across the United States, either during or prior to the pandemic. Such work is critical to understanding and ameliorating barriers in this domain. Methods: Using data from adolescents who self-identified as SMYoC and who endorsed a desire for mental health support during the COVID-19 pandemic (N=470, ages 13-16, from 43 U.S. states), we examined associations between state-level, structural factors (income inequality; mental healthcare provider shortage; anti-Black racism; homophobia; and the interaction between anti-Black racism and homophobia) and SMYoC mental health treatment access. Results: Multinomial logistic regressions revealed state-level mental healthcare provider shortage as the only significant predictor of SMYoC reporting they never (versus always) accessed mental health support during the COVID-19 pandemic. SMYoC living in areas with both lower homophobia and lower anti-Black racism were more likely to report always (versus sometimes) accessing mental health treatment. Conclusions: Results highlight the critical importance of considering diverse structural factors and applying an intersectional lens when exploring barriers to mental health treatment among multiply-marginalized youth. In locations where provider shortages are less severe, cultural stigma—including anti-Black racism and homophobia—may still pose challenges for SMYoC in need of mental health care.
Crossing the seven Cs of internal consistency: Assessing the reliability of formative instruments
Authors: Gruijters Stefan L.K. , Fleuren Bram P.I. , Peters Gjalt - Jorn Ygram
Published: April 2021

Evaluating the reliability of measurement instruments is common practice in organizational psychology. When measurement proceeds using composites of multiple indicators, reliability is often examined with internal consistency estimates. This is common practice for both measurement instruments with a reflective measurement model, where a latent psychological construct is assumed to cause the item scores, and with a formative measurement model, where the composite score defines the construct. In the latter case, however, internal consistency indices such as Coefficient Alpha or Omega are not informative about reliability. In this paper, we review the assumption of reflective measurement and discuss why internal consistency estimates assume this model. We then provide an illustration of a checklist (originally proposed by Jarvis et al., 2003) intended to aid researchers, reviewers and editors in recognizing reflective measurement. Finally, the paper describes how researchers can estimate the reliability of instruments that use formative items. With these contributions, the paper aims to promote awareness of measurement assumptions when estimating reliability, and to provide tailored alternatives for assessing the reliability of formative instruments.

This research was conducted in October 2019 in the waters of Sirih Bay Padang, West Sumatra Province. The objective of this research aimed was to determine the number of bacterial cells as an indicator of water pollution (total coliform and Escherichia coli) in the waters of Sirih Bay, Padang. The method used in this study was a survey method. Polluted waters in Sirih Bay as sampling location was divided into 3 stations, namely the PLTU area (St. I), near BPBALP Padang (St. II) and a residential area (St. III). Isolation of total coliform and fecal coliform bacteria was carried out by assumption and affirmation tests which were further identified and carried out physiological and biochemical properties. The results showed the total number of coliforms in Sirih Bay waters in the assertion test using BGLB media ranged from 75-460 MPN/ml. This indicates the existence of pollution of coliform bacteria in these waters based on the Decree of the State Minister of Environment No. 51 of 2004 concerning Sea Water Quality Standards, the maximum level of total coliform bacteria is 1000 MPN / 100 ml. The results of this study indicated that the waters of Sirih Bay are considered to be in poor condition

Published: April 2021

One model of ownership of access and the management of coastal and marine resources is a communal property widely applied to indigenous peoples who have ”hak ulayat” (customary rights) over coastal and marine areas. This article aims to analyze and deeply describe the traditional knowledge systems and coastal resource management of the Tobati-Enggros coastal fishermen. This research is a qualitative descriptive study using an ethnographic approach. The data collection techniques used were in-depth interviews and field observations. The data analysis is interpretive descriptive. The results showed the traditional maritime knowledge system in Tobati-Enggros fishers includes the nature of the marine coast, fishing gears, types of fishing, and fishing season. Management of Coastal Resources is also regulated in the Customary Authority under the leadership of ”Keondoafian” (tribal chief) by implementing Manjo in managing coastal resources. This shows that the existence of Manjo customary law and subsistence utilization patterns, based on traditional knowledge systems, the Tobati-Enggros fishing community has local wisdom values closely connected with the aim of marine conservation.

Published: April 2021

The integral thermo-atmogeochemical structural investigations (TAGSI) have been carried out at the continental slope of the Western Black Sea Depression for the first time. The technique of TAGSI as non-traditional and cost-effective exploration technology is originally developed at Institute of Geological Sciences. It consists of phased geo-structural researches and analysis of fault tectonics, morphological analysis and neotectonic interpretation of space images, thermal and atmo-geochemical surveying, lab measurements and processing of the data acquired to build thematic map using GIS technologies. Field data acquisition stage includes thermometric, emanation and gas surveying (Rn/Tn, He, CO2, H2, free hydrocarbons) in petroleum-prone onshore areas and bottom sediments (up to 2 m below the surface) thermometry, Rn-metering and measurements of gas content in the near-bottom layer offshore.To conduct the surveying there was developed a special instrument with some modifications designed to work onshore and offshore respectively. This technology is tested in different regions of Ukraine over known oil and gas fields. The results of TAGSI are considered in the paper. The geostructural analysis, interpretation of space images, atmogeochemical survey of the near-­bottom water layer (radon, helium, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, free hydrocarbons), thermic and lithogeochemical examination of bottom sediments enable to outline the petroleum-promising areas. Morphological, structural, tectonic, stratigraphic features of the continental slope’s structure are characterized. It has been found that potential petroleum-bearing structures occur in the region, which are genetically similar to the productive Mesozoic and Cenozoic stratons of the northwestern shelf and other areas of the Crimean – Caucasian Region. The results of the carried out studies show that it is purposeful to use TAGSI for local forecast of promising targets at the early search stages, for rational location of drillholes, prospecting and recovery of hydrocarbons.
Die Erfahrung von Armut
Authors: Erhard Franz
Published: April 2021

Was macht ein Leben in Armut aus? Das Buch beantwortet diese Frage anhand qualitativer Interviews, durch die deutlich wird, dass sich hinter dem Sammelbegriff der Armut eine ganze Lebenswelt verbirgt. Diese dreht sich wesentlich um das basale und kurzfristige ‚Über-die-Runden-Kommen‘. Außerdem stehen Gefühle der Kränkung und der Scham im Zentrum. Großbritannien als Untersuchungsraum gilt hierbei als Prototyp eines sogenannten neoliberalen Wohlfahrtsstaats, in dem Armut zur Abwertung des sozialen Status führt. Das wird anhand der Erfahrungsdimensionen Zeit, Raum und Sozialität ausdifferenziert. Soziale Arbeit hilft den Betroffenen, den Devaluierungen zu begegnen.
The ideal Benedictine Monastery: From the Saint Gall map to ontologies
Authors: Cantale Claudia , Cantone Domenico , Lupica Rinato Manuela , Nicolosi-Asmundo Marianna , Santamaria Daniele Francesco , Stufano Melone Maria Rosaria
Published: April 2021

We present an OWL 2 ontology, called SaintGall, representing the Saint Gall plan, one of the most ancient documents arrived intact to us. The Saint Gall plan describes the ideal model of a Benedictine monastic complex that inspired the design of many European monasteries. The structural, functional, and architectural specification of an ideal Benedectine monastery is modeled by the SaintGall ontology, which allows one to analyse and model the Monastery architectural type. This work started with the purpose of relating Catania’s San Nicolò l’Arena Benedectine Monastery with the abstract notion of Benedectine monastery, in the ambit of an ontological model based on the renovation works carried out by the architect Giancarlo De Carlo and developed by the same authors. The SaintGall ontology opens a research path aiming at comparing different monastic architectures that can be useful in any intervention of refurbishment or design for a monastery.
Rights of Nature Versus Conventional Nature Conservation: International Lessons from Australia’s Tarkine Wilderness
Authors: Richardson Benjamin J. , Hamaski Nina
Published: April 2021

The rights-of-nature model is gaining traction as an innovative legal approach for nature conservation. Although adopted in several countries, it remains in its infancy, including in Australia. An important research question is whether rights of nature will offer superior environmental outcomes compared to traditional nature conservation techniques including creation of protected areas. This article investigates that question through a case study of the Tarkine wilderness, in the Australia state of Tasmania. It first identifies key lessons from existing international experience with affirmation of rights of nature, such as in New Zealand and Ecuador. The article then explores how rights of nature could apply in Australia’s Tarkine region and their value compared to existing or potential protected areas and other nature conservation measures under Australian or Tasmanian law. Affirming rights of nature represents a major conceptual shift in how people via the law relate to the natural world, but whether the model offers practical benefits for nature conservation depends on a variety of conditions, in addition to the need to address broader societal drivers of environmentaldegradation.

Authors: Lin Zhe , Chakraborty Mihir Kumar , Ma Minghui
Published: April 2021

Varieties of topological quasi-Boolean algebras in the vicinity of pre-rough algebras [28, 29] are expanded to residuated algebraic structures by introducing a new implication operation and its residual in these structures. Sequent calculi for some classes of residuated algebraic structures are established. These sequent calculi have the strong finite model property which yields the decidability of the word problem for corresponding classes of algebraic structures.
Continuous Domains in Formal Concept Analysis
Authors: Wang Longchun , Guo Lankun , Li Qingguo
Published: April 2021

Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) has been proven to be an effective method of restructuring complete lattices and various algebraic domains. In this paper, the notion of contractive mappings over formal contexts is proposed, which can be viewed as a generalization of interior operators on sets into the framework of FCA. Then, by considering subset-selections consistent with contractive mappings, the notions of attribute continuous formal contexts and continuous concepts are introduced. It is shown that the set of continuous concepts of an attribute continuous formal context forms a continuous domain, and every continuous domain can be restructured in this way. Moreover, the notion of F-morphisms is identified to produce a category equivalent to that of continuous domains with Scott continuous functions. The paper also investigates the representations of various subclasses of continuous domains including algebraic domains and stably continuous semilattices.
Task aware optimized energy cost and carbon emission-based virtual machine placement in sustainable data centers
Authors: Renugadevi T. , Geetha K.
Published: April 2021

Management of IT services is rapidly adapting to the cloud computing environment due to optimized service delivery models. Geo distributed cloud data centers act as a backbone for providing fundamental infrastructure for cloud services delivery. Conversely, their high growing energy consumption rate is the major problem to be addressed. Cloud providers are in a hunger to identify different solutions to tackle energy management and carbon emission. In this work, a multi-cloud environment is modeled as geographically distributed data centers with varying solar power generation corresponding to its location, electricity price, carbon emission, and carbon tax. The energy management of the workload allocation algorithm is strongly dependent on the nature of the application considered. The task deadline and brownout information is used to bring in variation in task types. The renewable energy-aware workload allocation algorithm adaptive to task nature is proposed with migration policy to explore its impact on carbon emission, total energy cost, brown and renewable power consumption.

FEM simulation of palladium thin film coated surface acoustic wave hydrogen sensor for high frequency applications
Authors: George Sheeja P. , Isaac Johney , Philip Jacob
Published: April 2021

A higher operating frequency is desirable for Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) based sensors as they become more sensitive at high frequencies. The acoustic wave gets more confined near the surface at high frequencies and become more sensitive to the external stimulations. This makes SAW devices a suitable device for sensing gaseous state chemicals. SAW devices have become the basic building block of wireless sensor networks with its advantages enabling remote sensing. In this paper, a SAW based Hydrogen sensor is realized through the Finite Element Analysis tool ANSYS. Hydrogen even though has a significant role in many industries, its explosive nature demands constant monitoring. SAW delay line made up of XY-LiNbO3 as substrate with a thin layer of Palladium coated along the delay length as the sensing element is modeled. Palladium with its high affinity for Hydrogen absorbs the same and undergoes changes in properties like density and stiffness. This disturbs the surface wave propagation and in turn, affects the operating frequency which is the sensor response parameter. The frequency shift of 1.91 MHz for Hydrogen concentration of 0.3 a.f. as compared to 0.49 MHz with YZ- LiNbO3. The operating frequency also shifts to a higher range as the acoustic velocity of the substrate increases.

Authors: Zhang Yanqing , Jing Hongjun , Dai Jun
Published: April 2021

High rockfill embankment is widely applied to high-grade highways in mountainous areas, and its stable operation can significantly promote traffic and economic development. In this study, a stability evaluation model of high rockfill embankment was constructed based on fuzzy mathematics theory to realize effective and rapid evaluation. Considering representativeness and easy operability, 5 level-1 factor indexes and 16 level-2 factor indexes were determined from different perspectives of embankment fillers, slope conditions, hydraulic conditions, slope protection, and other factors. Weights of different factor indexes were allocated using analytic hierarchy process and all factor indexes were quantified and classified using the fuzzy statistical method according to stability level. Reliabilities of factor indexes were combined with reliability theory for analysis. Finally, the reasonability of the proposed fuzzy evaluation model was verified through application in the high rockfill embankment engineering on the secondary highway of the National Highway 316 from Xunyang to Ankang in Shaanxi Province, China. Results demonstrate that the reliability of this high rockfill embankment is 0.8671 and the final score of the evaluation system is 73.1619, indicating stability. Therefore, the proposed fuzzy evaluation model is reasonable and feasible to evaluate stability of high rockfill embankment, and can provide references for future design.
Big data-based fuzzy prediction and evaluation of performance of cold recycled asphalt pavement
Authors: Jing Hongjun , Gao Meng , Song Lichen , Liu Qian
Published: April 2021

Cold recycling of asphalt pavement is important in realizing sustainable development of highway transportation. Understanding change laws of cold recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) performance is important in the correct evaluation of pavement quality and scientific formulation of maintenance strategies. Various performance indexes were analytically demonstrated to predict and evaluate change laws of the cold RAP performance. The proposed cold recycled pavement evaluation indexes were divided into three fuzzy grades of evaluation indexes and subindexes. Integral algorithms from four indexes, namely, pavement surface condition index, riding quality index, rutting depth index, and pavement structure strength index (PSSI), were combined on the basis of the traditional gray prediction model GM (1,1). Index weights were determined according to improved analytic hierarchy process, and a performance index database system based on historical data was established for the cold RAP. Finally, an evaluation system was set up on the basis of the prediction model GM (1,1), and prediction and evaluation results were analyzed with existing data. Results showed the excellent performance of the proposed method with the maximum weight of PSSI and a cold recycled pavement evaluation index score of 77.45. Goodness of fit between the prediction curve and original data is favorable with minimal relative errors. The curve analysis of evaluation indexes demonstrated the satisfactory performance of the pavement with the overall slow declining trend of pavement performance indexes. The research results of this study can provide a reference for evaluating performance variation trends of road network-level cold RAPs.
Risk assessment of OFDI for technology-based enterprises under the background of “One Belt One Road”—based on fuzzy cluster analysis
Authors: Li Bingjie
Published: April 2021

With the proposal of “One Belt One Road” initiative, more and more technology-driven enterprises in China are going abroad for foreign direct investment (FDI). Thus, how to correctly assess and reasonably prevent OFDI risk have become urgent tasks for enterprises. This paper takes 20 countries along the “Belt and Road” as the research object and combines the characteristics of technology-oriented enterprises to determine the risk assessment indicators at all levels from four aspects: politics and policy, economy and finance, society and culture, and technological risks. Using fuzzy cluster analysis, the countries along the “Belt and Road” are classified into four groups: low, medium-low, medium-high, and high risks, and corresponding countermeasures are proposed: technology-oriented enterprises should raise their political risk awareness, comprehensively assess the economic and financial environment of host countries before making FDIs, implement “localized” operation and management, and pay attention to the protection of intellectual property rights.

Authors: Yuen Hon K. , Becker Sarah W. , Ellis Michelle T. , Moses Joi
Published: April 2021

BACKGROUND: Employee wellness programs (EWPs) aim to support positive changes in employees’ modifiable behavioral health risk factors for disease prevention and management. OBJECTIVE: This study described the prevalence and characteristics of EWPs in US accredited college and university campuses. METHODS: Identification of the prevalence of EWPs and programming activities offered in 3039 accredited higher education institutions/campuses, and characteristics of these institutions/campuses were conducted, mainly through searching the institution’s web page. RESULTS: Overall, 36%of the institutions/campuses offered EWPs, with a significantly larger percentage of 4-year public colleges/universities providing EWPs and wellness programming activities than the 4-year private colleges/universities and community colleges. When limiting the institutions/campuses to 4-year colleges and universities with at least 500 employees, the percentage of these institutions/campuses offering EWPs increased to 57.7%, which was comparable to the findings in the literature. The percentage of the institutions/campuses offering wellness programming activities ranged from 18.1%for injury prevention and ergonomics to 30.2%for stress management. The percentage of institutions/campuses offering injury prevention and ergonomics was significantly lower than the percentage of institutions/campuses offering other typical wellness activities. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of EWPs offered in accredited college and university campuses do not meet the national goal of 75%, which was set by Healthy People 2010.

Overall, participants engaged in more than the recommended levels of PA each week. CONCLUSIONS: This pilot study provided feedback and guidance for future online SC training within a workplace PA intervention.
Kant’ın Teorik Felsefesinde Kendini Bir “Sınır” Olarak Gösteren “Yeni”
Authors: DEMİR Barışcan
Published: April 2021

Asli anlamda “Yeni”den bahsettiğimizde, “moda olan”a ya da acemi bir bakış için “yeni fark edilmiş olan”a değil; felsefe ve bilim tarihinde açığa çıkan kopuşları üreten yıkıcı bir unsura işaret ederiz. Geleneğin dilini konuşan felsefe, artık düşünceyi boğmaya, onu çıkışsız bırakmaya, diğer bir deyişle nihilizmin kucağına terk etmeye başladığında; Yeni, geleneği karşısına alarak, onun yarattığı boğucu çerçeveyi dağıtmak adına, yıkıcı bir unsur olarak açığa çıkar. Bu çalışmada ilkin, Kant’ı böylesi bir Yeni’yi ortaya koymaya iten geleneğin yarattığı çıkışsızlığı açığa çıkaracağım. Ardından, Kant’ın söz konusu çıkışsızlığın içinde bir “çıkış” olarak geliştirdiği eleştirisinin, neden “asli anlamda yeni olan” olarak değerlendirilebileceğini ve bu Yeni’nin de nasıl olup da kendini bir “sınır” olarak gösterdiğini ortaya koyacağım. Son olarak da, Kant’ın teorik felsefesinde kendini bir sınır olarak gösteren Yeni’nin, gelecekteki potansiyel bir Yeni’ye ne bakımdan izin verip ne bakımdan onun önüne geçiyor olabileceğini ortaya koyacağım.

Published: April 2021

Bu çalışma ev içi mekânların edebi bir tür olan şiirsel anlatım üzerinden analizini yaparak, sosyal ve kültürel olarak değişime neden olmuş modernleşme sürecinin iç mekânlara etkilerini ve ortaya çıkan değişimlerin şiirlerde betimlenen ev içi mekânlar üzerindeki yansımalarını incelemektedir. Modern şiir anlayışının hiçbir harekete ya da şiir topluluğuna dahil edilemeyen nadir şairlerinden biri olan Behçet Necatigil ve İkinci Yeni şiir hareketinin önde gelen ismi ve en güçlü savunucusu olarak anılan İlhan Berk’in şiirleri ve ev içi mekânlara ilişkin sahip oldukları tutumlar, her ne kadar farklı şiir anlayışlarına sahip olan şairler olsalar da önemli ölçüde benzerlik taşımaktadırlar. Dolayısıyla, ev içi mekânları ele alan bu iki şairin eserleri bu çalışma için önemli edebi kaynaklar olarak referans sağlamaktadır. Eserlerinde ev içi mekânlara ilişkin betimlemeler incelendiğinde, evler huzursuzluk ya da mutluluk mekânları olarak olumlu ve olumsuz yönleriyle yer bulmuşlardır. Evin şairler üzerinde uyandırdığı bu çelişkili durumlar aynı zamanda ev-sokak çatışması, modernleşme döneminden önceki yaşam alanlarına özlem gibi durumları ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu bağlamda şiirler, “Ev Kavramına Olumlu Yaklaşımlar”, “Ev Kavramına Olumsuz Yaklaşımlar” ve “Evi Oluşturan Unsurlara Yaklaşımlar” başlıkları altında sınıflandırılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda; edebiyat-mimarlık ilişkisi bağlamında incelendiğinde şiirlerde betimlenen mekânların, bireylerin mekânla kurdukları ilişkileri, toplumdaki değişimlerin birey üstündeki etkileri gibi konularda yazınsal kaynak olarak görülebildiği ortaya konmaktadır. Şiirlerde belli bir dönemin betimlemesi olarak ev içi mekânlar, modernizmin ve değişimlerin kullanıcılar üzerindeki etkisini incelemek için faydalı kaynaklar olarak değerlendirilmişlerdir.
Estimates of the Carbon Impacts of Commute Travel Restrictions due to COVID-19 in the UK
Authors: Lokesh Kadambari , Marsden Greg
Published: April 2021

This paper explores the carbon impacts of the reductions in commute travel which resulted from restrictions placed on the general population in the UK. The article uses anonymised and aggregated mobile data for the period February 2020 to June 2020 to understand how commute trips changed spatially. This has been linked to journey length and emissions data to produce estimates of the consequent reductions in CO2 (an average range of 17-60%). At a local level, the key factors that contributed to substantial CO2 reductions were high car ownership, paired with the prevalence of specific industrial employment types that could readily transition from a desk-based work to virtual working.

Araştırmanın temel amacı Akış Teorisi (Flow Theory) unsurlarından olan eğlence, tele varoluş, konsantrasyon ve zaman algısında bozulma faktörlerinin, tüketicilerin mobil oyun bağımlılıkları ve keşifsel davranışları üzerindeki etkilerinin belirlenmesi ve aynı şekilde tüketicilerin mobil oyun bağımlılıkları ve keşifsel davranışlarının pozitif ve negatif WOM (ağızdan ağıza iletişim) üzerindeki etkilerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Araştırmanın anakütlesini Türkiye’deki 18 yaşından büyük mobil oyunları oynayan bireyler oluşturmaktadır. Toplam 407 geçerli veri ile gerçekleştirilen analizler sonucunda, akış teorisinin tüm unsurlarının (konsantrasyon, eğlence, zaman algısında bozulma ve tele varoluş) bireylerin mobil oyun bağımlılıkları üzerinde anlamlı etkilere sahip olduğu görülürken, yine tele varoluş hariç bu unsurların keşifsel davranışlar üzerinde de anlamlı etkilerinin olduğu gözlemlenmektedir. Son olarak, keşifsel davranışın aksine; mobil oyun bağımlılığının olumlu WOM ve olumsuz WOM faktörleri üzerindeki etkisinin anlamlı olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
EXAMINING THE STUDENTS’ UNDERSTANDING LEVEL TOWARDS THE CONCEPTS OF SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY
Authors: Özcan Özgür
Published: April 2021

Special theory of relativity is one of the difficult subjects of physics to be understood by the students. The current research designed as a qualitative research aim to determine the pre-service physics teachers’ understanding level and the alternative conceptions about three core concepts of special theory of relativity, such as time dilatation, length contraction and reference frames. The data were collected through semi structured interviews and were analyzed by using content analysis. At the end of the analysis process the understanding level of the students was determined to be “complete understanding”, “incomplete understanding” and “misunderstanding”. In order to achieve this, the students’ conceptual frameworks based on the operational definitions made by the students were determined firstly. The findings obtained in this research indicate that high school teachers as well as university instructors should take special care with some points in the teaching of the subjects related with special theory of relativity. This research might be useful to other studies to be done in the future, especially for investigating the students’ mental models related to special theory of relativity.
Key words: Length contraction, reference frames, special relativity, time dilatation, understanding level.

Published: April 2021

The way teachers view assessment has a considerable impact on their practice of assessment. Student perceptions of assessment, in turn, affect the ways in which they take advantage of its potential to direct their learning processes and to develop metacognitive skills. In this research, physics teachers and international postgraduate students at a Finnish university were surveyed for their views of assessment. The teachers were found to use assessment in a restricted fashion, which indicates that their conceptions of assessment are also limited in scope. The international students appeared to have a loose grasp of the concepts pertaining to assessment. Furthermore, clear differences were found in the purposes ascribed to assessment by the teachers and students. The implications of the findings are discussed and suggestions are made for the development of assessment practices to ensure a better use of its potential as a tool for achieving learning objectives.
Keywords: educational programmes, higher education, international students, postgraduate studies, views of assessment.

Authors: Winarsih Tutik , Fariz Fariz
Published: April 2021

This study examined the effect of job satisfaction on organizational commitment and discipline of work, as well as determined the effect of organizational commitment to the discipline of work. This study involved the lecturers of STIE YAPAN Surabaya. Data analysis that was used in this research was the analysis of the path (path analysis) where confirmatory factor analysis was conducted previously to confirm the indicators that described the construct or variable. The results of confirmatory factor analysis proved that all of the indicators used in this study were not deleted and all the indicators were able to explain the variable job satisfaction, organizational commitment and work discipline. The results of path analysis (path analysis) explained that satisfaction effects on organizational commitment, commitment affects the discipline, and job satisfaction affects work discipline. Theoretical implication of this study is that the study supports the theory that when the lecturers feel more satisfied, they will be more commit and discipline. The practical implications of this study are expected to be a material consideration to STIE YAPAN Surabaya foundations in policy and decision making related to job satisfaction, organizational commitment and work discipline. The advice that can be given to the foundation is increasing attention to the dimensions of salary, normative commitment, and discipline work as dimensions that have bad perception.

Abstract: It is important for health professionals working with children to be aware of all aspects of children’s rights. the research was conducted to determine the qualitative analysis of the knowledge of the healthcare professionals working in pediatrics units on children's rights. Twenty health workers in the pediatric units of an obstetric and children’s hospital, nine physicians and eleven nurses, took part in the research. Data were collected with the semi-structured interview technique using an ‘Information Form’ and an ‘Structured Interview Form.’ Data were then subjected to analysis. Two themes were determined as "the views of healthcare professionals on children's rights" and "What can be done to better implement children's rights". In line with these themes; It was determined that healthcare workers mostly focused on children's right to life and development, and other rights were not mentioned much. It was determined that healthcare professionals thought that training should be given to raise awareness on children's rights. It is recommended that in-service training be provided to increase the knowledge and awareness of children’s rights among health workers in pediatric units.

Kryptor system was proven to be a rapid, standard method for
pregnancy-associated plasma protein A and proform eosinophilic
major basic protein (PAPP-A/proMBP) complex detection in
coronary artery disease (CAD). No age and/or gender differences
in 51 controls and 110 stable coronary artery disease (SCAD)
patients were found. SCAD patients did not differ from controls
and no difference in PAPP-A/proMBP levels with regards to the
number of affected vessels was found. In 21 unstable angina
pectoris (UAP), in 35 without and 66 with ST elevation acute
myocardial infarctions (NSTEMI, STEMI respectively) patients
PAPP-A/proMBP levels were increased (P=0.004 and P<0.0005,
respectively). PAPP-A/proMBP levels did not correlate with
cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in STEMI and NSTEMI patients. PAPP-A/
proMBP increase was more frequent than cTnI (P=0.036) within
the early phase of STEMI. In NSTEMI patients PAPP-A/proMBP
positivity was present in 50 % of cTnI negative cases. Receiver
operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed the highest
diagnostic accuracy of PAPP-A/proMBP (0.919) in STEMI cTnI
positive cases. The highest specificity/sensitivity PAPP-A/proMBP
levels for particular acute coronary syndrome (ACS) types were
10.65-14.75 mIU/l. Combination of PAPP-A/proMBP with cTnI
increases their diagnostic efficacy within the early phase of ACS.
Our results suggest that PAPP-A/proMBP complex is involved in
processes preceding vulnerable plaque development in ACS.

Published: April 2021

The aim of this work was to evaluate ontogeny of reactive
nitrogen species (RNS) production by peripheral blood
phagocytes in pig. Pig fetuses (55 and 92 days of gestation) and
postnatal piglets (1, 3, 8, 17, 31 and 41 days after birth) were
used. RNS production was measured by fluorescent probes
diaminofluorescein-diacetate (DAF-FMDA) and dichlorofluorescein-diacetate (H2DCFDA). Levels of nitration of cell proteins were established by immunofluorescent detection of
nitrotyrosine. Levels of plasma nitrites/nitrates were detected
spectrophotometrically by Griess reaction. Nitric oxide production
measured by DAF-FMDA in neutrophils decreased during
postnatal life. Spontaneous RNS measured by H2DCFDA
decreased from 55th day of gestation to the 41st day of life.
Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate activated production decreased
during postnatal life. Production of NO measured by DAF-FMDA
in macrophages decreased from the 1st to 41st day after birth.
RNS production measured by H2DCFDA in monocytes did not
show any significant changes during ontogeny. The level of
nitrotyrosine significantly decreased from the 3rd to 17th day.
Levels of plasma nitrites/nitrates gradually decreased from the
55th day of gestation to the 41st day after birth. A temporary
increase in all parameters occurred after weaning, but without
any significance. In conclusion, RNS production has a decreasing
trend during ontogeny and is transiently upregulated after
weaning.
