Authors: Rahman Fahmi Aulia , Garnida Nita
Published: January 2021

PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) is a railway transportation service provider in Indonesia. In 2019, KAI launched railway courier service to support logistic sector, called Rail Express. Despite the advantages of railway courier service in providing low-cost fee and minimum risk of time delay and accident, low market penetration indicates brand awareness in the market is still very low. The main objective of this study is to develop customer-based brand equity strategy for railway courier service, by using Rail Express as the case to carry out the research. This study used a series of qualitative method research to fully comprehend the business situation and propose the solution to the business problem. First, in-depth interviews were conducted to the management and staff of KAI to assess external and internal environments of railway courier service. Second, focus group discussions were conducted to gain consumers’ insight related to brand awareness and brand image of Rail Express. The discussion was attended by 16 participants that represent Rail Express target market of e-commerce buyer and seller. Third, this study used TOWS matrix to generate business solution alternatives based on previous analysis findings. As the result, this study formulated three main strategies to build customer-based brand equity: first, integrated marketing communication to establish brand awareness by increasing brand recall and brand recognition; second, brand repositioning to establish brand image by developing brand associations related to positive image and technology; and third, improvement on existing marketing mix, i.e., product, distribution channel, and price strategies.

Authors: Pawar Kamal D. , Chavan Sushama. K. , Joshi Mohini M.
Published: January 2021

The study was undertaken to see the variation of the suprascapular notch. The notch is present on the superior border of the scapula near the root of coracoid process. It is roofed by the superior transverse ligament and is converted into foramen for the passage of suprascapular nerve. The study was carried out on 121 scapulae in the department of Anatomy RMC Loni, Ahmednagar. The parameters included in the study were presence of notch, shape of notch, transvers length of notch, edge of notch, ossification of transverse ligament and other finding were also noted. The parameters were measured by Vernier calliper and appropriate statistical tests were applied.

The supra-scapular notch was present in 82.64% of scapulae. U Deep shaped notch was most common shape followed by J shallow shaped notch. Round edge at the depth of the notch was more common.

The knowledge of suprascapular notch variations is of great importance for surgeons performing suprascapular nerve decompression especially by means of endoscopic techniques. Our anatomical study helps the clinicians before planning a surgery.

Authors: Win Haymar Soe , Aung Win Yu , Mar Ohn
Published: January 2021

Data on risk of metabolic syndrome among various forms of tobacco consumption in Myanmar tobacco users are currently limited. The present study aimed to determine and compare nicotine metabolites serum cotinine, oxidative stress marker serum F2-isoprostane in adult male tobacco users, and to find out relationships between these parameters and risk of metabolic syndrome. This cross-sectional study was done in 30 to 45 years old males: 84 cigarette smokers, 84 cheroot smokers and 84 betel quid with tobacco chewers. Metabolic syndrome was defined by National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III definition. Serum cotinine concentration of cigarette smokers was significantly higher than that of cheroot smokers (p=0.026), however, no significant difference was seen between cigarette smokers and betel quid with tobacco chewers (p=1.000), and between cheroot smokers and betel quid with tobacco chewers (p=0.248). Serum F2-isoprostane concentration was significantly higher (p=0.001) in cigarette smokers than cheroot smokers and betel quid with tobacco chewers, but no significant difference was observed between cheroot smokers and betel quid with tobacco chewers (p=1.000). Compared with betel quid with tobacco chewers, cigarette smokers had 5.2 times (95% CI, 2.3-11.4) (p<0.001) and cheroot smokers had 1.4 times (95% CI, 0.62-3.3) (p=0.402) higher risk of having metabolic syndrome. There was a significant association between the presence of metabolic syndrome and high serum cotinine as well as high serum F2-isoprostane. A significant correlation between serum cotinine and serum F2-isoprostane was found in betel quid with tobacco chewers, but not in cigarette smokers and cheroot smokers. The present study showed that both nicotine and oxidative stress take part in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome. Cigarette smoking has the highest risk of having metabolic syndrome, however, cheroot smoking as well as betel quid with tobacco chewing is related to metabolic syndrome as well.

Published: January 2021

Government policy in implementing the New Normal Era is a hope for people to rise from adversity in facing the Covid-19 pandemic. The enthusiasm and hope in welcoming the new life order provides an opportunity for the community to start carrying out activities that were previously restricted or stopped. The application of new normal is welcomed with a positive attitude in various sectors. In the library education sector welcomed positively with the new order of life that began to be applied gradually. How is the preparation done by the library to open services for users in this New Normal Era? The normal concept in library services must be really prepared, both in terms of human resources and collections. Three important things that must be considered to prepare library services are 1. Services must prioritize the health of librarians and users 2. Design services and facilities in the library 3. Make policy access to the library.
Perpustakaan Baitul Hikmah, Tonggak Kebangkitan Intelektual Muslim
Authors: Nurohman Aris
Published: January 2021

The Baitul Hikmah Library was recorded as a library owned by Muslims, which was established during the Abbasid Caliphate which was considered the first largest library to influence Muslim civilization in the field of science. The climax occurred during the caliph al-Ma'mun. Al Ma'mun is able to develop the Baitul Hikmah library with good management, and maximum one of them is through large financial support for research, paying professional librarians, paying for translation and even collaborating with experts from various fields regardless of religious background. As a result, Baitul Wisdom becomes a reference source of important information in various fields, ranging from the social, medical, mathematical, physical and philosophical fields. This is very interesting to be used as the knowledge of library managers at the moment, as well as being an important lesson material about the role of libraries in the development of intelligence and human civilization.
The Effect of a Pilot Group Psycho-education Program on the Death Attitude and Life Perception in the Case of an Adult with Intellectual Disabilities
Authors: Fodor Alexandra , Costea-Bărluțiu Carmen
Published: January 2021

Often people with intellectual disabilities are protected from exposure to death, dying and end-of-life issues, but this protection leaves the person unprepared for the grieving of unavoidable losses, and unaware of the changes implied by the old age of their caregivers. Considering the person with an intellectual disability as an immature being, lacking the ability to feel complex emotions, contributes to the tendency that both professionals and families have to avoid speaking with them about the difficult topic of death. Our goal is to design and implement a psychoeducational program that approaches the topic of death as a natural stage in life, for adults with intellectual disabilities. The effects that psychoeducation about death had on both death attitude and the perception of life are discussed based on a case presentation of one of the group members.

Preliminary report on MFM measurements on magnetic nanofiber mats
Authors: Weiss Raphael , Ehrmann Andrea
Published: January 2021

Nanofiber mats can be produced unambiguously by electrospinning. Besides pure polymers or polymer blends, such nanofibers can also contain metals, ceramics, etc., often introduced in the form of nanoparticles embedded in the spinning solution. Especially in case of magnetic nanoparticles, the physical properties of the whole nanofiber mats will strongly depend on the dispersion of the nanoparticles in the fibers – while small single nanoparticles may show superparamagnetic behavior, larger agglomerations will rather tend to showing ferromagnetic properties. Investigations of the magnetic properties of a sample with high spatial resolution are mostly performed by magnetic force microscopy (MFM). This technique, however, is usually applied on very flat surfaces of thin-film or nanostructured samples. Here, we report for the first time on MFM measurements on magnetic nanofiber mats, proving in principle that this technique can be used to investigate magnetic nanofiber mats, while the highly uneven nanofiber structure still causes large problems which have to be solved in the future.

The Determinants of Price Change: Evidence from a Survey of Firms
Authors: Nadeem Iqbal  , Amjad Amin  , Danish Wadood Alam
Published: January 2021

Price stability are important for macroeconomic stability, especially for the economies, which are facing macroeconomic instability. Contractionary monetary policy can play an important role in minimizing the frequency of price change, so for effective monetary policy, it is necessary to identify the determinants of price setting behaviour. The objective of the study is to determine the patterns of price setting of firms and responses of firms to economic shocks, i.e. changes in demand and supply side factors, the role of firm characteristics, institutional and other factors in determining the channel of adjustment after these shocks. The data is collected through stratified frandom samplling from 342 firms, located in four Industrial estates of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Price setting behavior is measured through importance of demand and cost shocks for price change. To estimate the effects of determinants of price change, models are estimated through logistic technique. Firms’ likelihood of price increases higher than that to price decrease in response to both demand and supply shocks. Furthermore, supply-side factors lead to higher frequency of price change than demand-side factors do. The cost of raw material and cost of energy are the most important causes of price change, both for the price increase and decrease. Demand and cost shocks are important determinants of price change for imperfectly competitive firms, backward-looking firms, firms run by managers having more information about economic conditions, while credibility of central bank is important determinant of price change in case of demand shocks only. Size of firms and information set regarding expected inflation do not have any effect. For effective monetary policy of Pakistan, credibility of central bank has to be established to stabilize prices and pre-emptive measures should be taken on the part of central bank to counter supply shocks.

Concrete Box-Girder Bridges
Authors: Schlaich Jörg , Scheef Hartmut
Published: January 2021

The box girder is today the most widely used superstructure in cocnrete bridge construction. The aim of this document is to relieve the engineer of the study of today's hardly surveyable mass of literature on the subject so that he can better devote that time to the actual design of the bridge. This document directs itself especially to the design engineer and therefore follows the sequence of a practical bridge design process:

Part 1, Design, presents the most important factors influencing the architectural and structual design of box girder bridges,

Part 2, Structural analysis, follows the structural analysis in longitudinal and transverse direction, and deals with the interaction betweeen both, namely the folded plate action,

Part 3, Dimensioning and Structural Detailing, mainly treats the analysis and dimensioning of those regions of the bridge whose stresses cannot adequately be described witht Technical Bending Theory. Structural details are presented.
Fatigue Research on High-Performance Steels in Canada
Authors: Driver Robert G. , Grondin Gilbert Y. , MacDougall Colin
Published: January 2021

Compared to conventional structural grade steels, high-performance steel (HPS) pro­vides higher strength, improved weldability, greatly enhanced fracture toughness, and comparable ductility, as well as having "weathering" properties. The improved char­acteristics of HPS are achieved through lower levels of carbon and other elements, in conjunction with advanced steel-making practices using either quenching and tem­pering or thermo-mechanical controlled processing. All of these properties make HPS highly desirable for bridge applications. Indeed, although its development spans only the past decade, it is rapidly gaining popularity for use in highway bridges and is be­coming more widely available. Although many highway bridges have already been put into service in the United States, Canada has yet to implement this technology in bridges. Nevertheless, it is anticipated that the use ofHPS will become common in the Canadian market in the near future.
Sustainability and Cultural Heritage Buildings
Authors: Lourenço Paulo B. , Branco Jorge M. , Coelho Ana
Published: January 2021

Conservation of cultural heritage buildings is a demand from society, which recognizes this heritage as a part of their identity, but it is also an economic issue. In Europe, tourism accounts for 10% of the gross domestic product (GDP) and 12% of the employment, if linked sectors are considered. The European Union (EU) is the world’s number one tourist destination, with 40% of arrivals in the world and with seven European countries among the top ten. According to the World Trade Organization (WTO) estimates, international tourist arrivals in Europe will increase signiﬁ cantly. The built European heritage, namely monuments or historical centres, is a main attractor for tourism, with 45% of the United Nations Educational, Scientiﬁ c and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage sites situated within the EU. Therefore, the need for their conservation is unquestionable.

THE RISK ASSESSMENT OF PINE FOREST DEGRADATION UNDER VARIOUS CONDITIONS OF MOISTURE AND THE NATURE OF PRECIPITATION IN KERZHENSKY RESERVE
Authors: Popova Elena , Koukhta A.
Published: January 2021

The relationship between the degree of moisture content of the territory and the nature of precipitation with linear growth of Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris L.) was investigated on the area of the Kerzhensky Reserve located in the Nizhny Novgorod region. The main positive effect on the linear growth of Scots pine was exerted by heavy convective showers in the spring and early summer period, when the most intensive growth of trees was observed, with the exception of swampy biotopes, where the plants experienced water stress. The same negative impact on the linear growth of Scots pine was exerted by stratiform precipitation in all studied biotopes. Thus, an increase in the moisture content of the territory caused by the observed climatic changes will be positive only for pine stands of dry biotopes and can lead to degradation of moist and fresh pine forest ecosystems, especially with an increase in the amount of stratiform atmospheric precipitation.

Published: January 2021

Wide range of plant extracts are used for medicinal purposes as they are very cheap, efficient, harmless and do not cause any side effects. Spices are parts of different plants and they add special aroma and taste to the food preparations. The aim of the study was to determine the antimicrobial activity of some important naturally grown spices against gram positive and gram negative pathogenic bacteria. Antibacterial activity of the spices was tested against gram positive bacteria Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus and gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using aqueous, ethanolic, methanolic and liquid nutrient extracts. Among all the extracts tested alcoholic extracts of Cardamom (Elettaria cardamom), clove (Eugenia caryophyllus) and lemongrass (Cymbopogoncitratus) showed maximum antimicrobial activity against gram negative bacteria while alcoholic extract of Cardamom (Elettaria cardamom) and lemongrass (Cymbopogoncitratus) showed maximum activity against gram positive bacteria. All the spices tested in this study proved that they have antibacterial activity and the maximum activity index (1.39) was exhibited by the ethanol extract of cardamom against E.coli.
EFFECT OF CELLULASE ENZYMES AND SWELLING AGENTS ON COLOUR STRENGTH (K/S) AND COLOURFASTNESS PROPERTY OF HANDLOOM COTTON FABRIC DYED WITH BUTEA FRONDOSA DYE
Authors: Dixit Sunita
Published: January 2021

Cellulase and swelling agents are known to be effective in improving the colour strength of cotton. Nowadays, the handloom fabrics are much preferred due to development of innovative designs and their comfort in wearing Due to increased environmental awareness the use of natural dyes are much preferred in dyeing of handloom fabrics. But, khadi cotton has some major shortcomings like less dyeability. Keeping in view that the pretreatment of khadi cotton with cellulases, swelling agents and combination of cellulases and swelling agents before dyeing improves the colour strength properties, the present study was planned. The khadi cotton samples were treated with optimized conditions of enzymes and swelling agents. The optimum pH, concentration, treatment time and temperature selected for the acid cellulase enzyme treatment were 5.5, 1.5% (owf), 45 minutes and 50°C, respectively whereas in case of neutral cellulase enzyme, it was 7.5, 2.0% (owf), 70 minutes and 70°C respectively. The optimum concentration, treatment time and temperature selected for sodium hydroxide treatment were 20% w/v, 60 minutes and 60°C, respectively. In case of ethylenediamine, 80% w/v, 60 minutes and 70°C were selected as optimum concentration, treatment time and temperature, respectively. In case of zinc chloride treatment, the optimum concentration, treatment time and temperature were selected as 80% w/v, 60 minutes and 70°C. 5 g Butea frondosa dye extracted for 75 minutes gave best results on khadi cotton when dyeing was carried out for 90 minutes It was observed that out of various concentrations of mordants used with Butea frondosa dye, best shades of colour were obtained by using 0.04 g of Alum, 0.01 g of Copper sulphate, 5 g each of Baboolbark.On optimizing the method of mordanting, best results were obtained with Butea frondosa dye when samples were simultaneous mordanted and dyed with Alum, Babool bark and Alum.

Published: January 2021

Teachers and students still dominate the learning process at SMAN 1 Lingsar are even less active. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Guided Inquiry learning model on students' chemistry learning outcomes. This study used quasi-experimental research (quasi-experimental) with a nonequivalent control group design pre-test-post-test design. The population in this study were all Class XI IPA SMAN 1 Lingsar. The sampling technique used a quota sampling technique. The sample consisted of 2 classes, namely class XI MIA 1 as the experimental class and class XI MIA 4 as the control class. The instruments in this study were 3, namely: RPP, LKPD, and Tests. The test is carried out at the beginning of the meeting (pre-test) and the end of the session (posttest). The resulting data were tested using the ANCOVA test. The results showed differences in chemistry learning outcomes for students who took the guided inquiry learning model with those who took the conventional learning model. The results of statistical tests obtained a significance value of the learning model of 0.011. So because the amount of the Sig value is less than 0.05, H0 is rejected. It means a linear relationship between them with the average chemistry learning outcomes in the class that received the guided inquiry empowerment model higher than the control group. Furthermore, the covariance proved also to support the improvement of students' chemistry learning outcomes with a significance level of 0.000. It means that there is a linear relationship between the covariance and the dependent variable
Evhadüddîn-i Merâgî’nin Gazellerinde Sâkî Mefhumu

Meclisin en önemli unsurlarından olan sâkî; Arapça’da içki sunan anlamına gelmektedir. Sâkî bazen meclisin huzur ve düzenini sağlayan kişi, bazen dikkatleri üzerine çeken sevgili, bazen de kendi başına bir otoritedir. Tasavvufî manada ise sâkî mürşit kişidir. İlkbahar mevsimlerinde, genellikle çimen, kır ve gül bahçesi gibi güzel yerlerde kurulan içki ve eğlence dolu olan meclislerde sevgili, sâkî, çalgıcı ve şairler toplanır, içip eğlenirlerdi. Bazen de bu meclis meyhanelerde, evlerde ve tekkelerde kurulur, meclise katılan herkes yan yana ve daire şeklinde yere otururdu. Bu meclisin vazgeçilmez unsurlarından olan ve kadeh dağıtıp içki sunmakla hatta bu meclisin düzenini sağlamakla görevli olan sâkî, elindeki büyük kadehle meclisteki herkese içki sunardı. Mecliste ayrıca musiki çalar ve raks yapılırdı. Bu meclis sabaha kadar sürer, tütsüler yanıp etrafa hoş kokular yayılır ve mum yanardı. VIII./XIV. yüzyıl Fars edebiyatı sufî şairlerden olan kaside, gazel, mesnevi nazım türleriyle yaklaşık on beş bin beyit şiir kaleme alan Evhadüddîn-i Merâgî de şiirlerinde sâkî mefhumunu kullanmış, sâkîden ve görevlerinden, sâkînin güzelliğinden ve sâkîye ait güzellik unsurlarından şiirlerinde bahsetmiştir. Çalışmada Evhadî’nin sâkî ile ilgili beyitleri tespit edilmiş, şairin sâkî mefhumunu nasıl kullandığı gazellerinden getirilen örnek beyitlerle gösterilmiştir. Başlıkların yanındaki dipnotta şairin Dîvân’ındaki ilgili benzer örneklerin sayfa numarası ve beyit numarası verilmiştir.
علماء الفقه الحنفي الذين نشؤوا في أفغانستان

Published: January 2021

بعد قَبُول دين الإسلام في المنطقة التي تعرف اليوم بأفغانستان، حدث هناك تطور كبير في علوم الفقه، كما وقع مثله في العلوم الدينية الأخرى، ونشأ هناك العديد من كبار العلماء في مجال الفقه .نظرا إلى الاختلاف المذهبي بين العلماء الذين ظهروا في تلك الفترة، يتبين لنا أن هناك العديد من المذاهب، ومع ذلك، عندما يؤخذ في عين الاعتبار من حيث انتشاره وتأثيره، فمن الواضح أن المذهب الحنفي في الصدارة وبالتالي فإن علماء الفقه الحنفي هم الأغلبية.

سنتناول في هذا البحث المعلومات الببليوغرافية عن العلماء الأحناف الذين نشأوا في مناطق داخل حدود أفغانستان، وخاصة مدن التي أصبحت مراكز علمية في الفترات الأولى مثل بلخ وهَرَات وغَزْنَة. وهدفنا هو إظهار أهمية هذه المنطقة من جانب مساهمتها في الفقه.

Over the last few decades, signiﬁcant efforts have been put forth towards the C−H bond group functionalization by transition-metalcatalysis and organocatalysis. Several efficient strategies to convert C-H bond to other groups C-C, C-N, C-O bonds have been implemented. The most attractive C-H bond functionalization was the C-H heterocyclic compounds activation that is practical method in organic synthesis. The new C–C, C–N and C–O bond as formed from the C-H bond activation by two diverse ways metal catalysis and/or organocatalysis. The most important is the synthesis of new bioactive heterocyclic compounds by easy and less expensive materials. In this review, we will cover most of the syntheses of heterocyclic derivatives by the functionalization of C-H bond in metal and organocatalytic reagents.
