Authors: Wenger Dennis R. , Mauldin Donald , Speck Gail , Morgan Dean , Lieber Richard L.
Published: July 2023

We performedaprospective study to determine whether flexible flatfoot in children can be influenced by treatment. One hundred and twenty-nine children who had been referred by pediatricians, and for whom the radiographic findings met the criteria for flatfoot, were randomly assigned to one of four groups: Group I, controls; Group II, treatment with corrective orthopaedic shoes; Group III, treatment withaHelfet heel-cup; or Group IV, treatment withacustom-molded plastic insert. All of the patients in Groups II, III, and IV hadaminimum of three years of treatment, and ninety-eight patients whose compliance with the protocol was documented completed the study. Analysis of radiographs before treatment and at the most recent follow-up demonstratedasignificant improvement in all groups (p 0.01), including the controls, and no significant difference between the controls and the treated patients (p 0.4).
We concluded that wearing corrective shoes or inserts for three years does not influence the course of flexible flatfoot in children.

Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND:According to the literature, the Greek questionnaire on the study of the quality of life of children and adolescents undergoing brace treatment (BRACE questionnaire, abbreviated as BrQ) is informative and reliable, which is confirmed by its validation in different countries. This necessitates the creation ofanadopted Russian version and its validation.
AIM:To perform Russian localization and validation of the Greek questionnaire on the study of the quality of life of children and adolescents undergoing brace treatment.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:Russian localization and validation of the Russian version of the questionnaire on braces (Ru-BrQ) was carried out in several stages: direct and reverse translations, examination of the questionnaire, formation ofapreliminary version, pilot testing of 104 patients with idiopathic scoliosis on brace treatment, development of the final version, reliability study using the evaluation of Cronbachs alpha criterion and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and provision of the final version.
RESULTS:According to the indicators of the overall Ru-BrQ score, 0% of patients scored at the floor and ceiling levels. The average quality of life scores according to Ru-BrQ and in the retest were 72 9.2 and 72.4 9.0 points, respectively. According to the ICC indicator, domains such as general health, self-esteem and aesthetics, vitality, and social functioning showed excellent reliability (0.9). Physical functioning and school activity demonstrated good reliability(0.750.9).Emotional functioning and body pain demonstrated moderate reliability (0.50.75). The Cronbachs alpha coefficient showed that except for the domains emotional functioning and body pain, where good internal consistency was determined (0.8), all other domains confirmed excellent internal consistency (0.9). The Pearson correlation coefficient (index 0.67) revealedanoticeable correlation between Ru-BrQ and the Russian version of SRS-22.
CONCLUSIONS:The Russian version isareliable questionnaire for the study of the quality of life of children and adolescents undergoing brace treatment, comparable with the original Greek version of BrQ, and can be recommended for use in practical and scientific activities to assess the effect ofatorso brace on the quality of life in children and adolescents.
Scholarly Communication and Machine-Generated Text: Is it Finally AI vs AI in Plagiarism Detection?
Authors: Santra Patit Paban , Majhi Debasis
Published: July 2023

This study utilizes GPT (Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) language model-based AI writing tools to create a set of 80 academic writing samples based on the eight themes of the experiential sessions of the LTC 2023. These samples, each between 2000 and 2500 words long, are then analyzed using both conventional plagiarism detection tools and selected AI detection tools. The study finds that traditional syntactic similarity-based anti-plagiarism tools struggle to detect AI-generated text due to the differences in syntax and structure between machine-generated and human-written text. However, the researchers discovered that AI detector tools can be used to catch AI-generated content based on specific characteristics that are typical of machine-generated text. The paper concludes by posing the question of whether we are entering an era in which AI detectors will be used to prevent AI-generated content from entering the scholarly communication process. This research sheds light on the challenges associated with AI-generated content in the academic research literature and offers a potential solution for detecting and preventing plagiarism in this context.
New Insight into the Subducted Indian Plate beneath Central Myanmar Based on Seismic Activity and Focal Mechanisms Analysis
Authors: Mon Chit Thet , Yang Shun , Ren Changfeng , He Yumei , Thant Myo , Sein Kyaing
Published: July 2023

Myanmar is governed by the oblique subduction of India beneath the Burma microplate. Accurate earthquake location and focal mechanism data are crucial for understanding the detailed geometric features and dynamics of this subduction zone. We located 1433 subduction-related earthquakes and analyzed the focal mechanisms of 114 events using seismic data recorded by a recently deployed dense array in central Myanmar. The precisely located earthquakes show an east-dipping Wadati–Benioff zone beneath the Burma microplate at latitudes of 20.5°–25.0° N. In general, the subducting Indian plate imaged by seismicity has a dip angle of ∼18°–25° down to a depth of 80 km and then abruptly steepens to ∼33°–45°. The average thickness of the east-dipping seismic layer is ∼15 ± 10 km in the shallow-intermediate depth range (10–80 km) and gradually becomes ∼21 ± 10 km thick. By comparing the seismicity with the seismic velocity models revealed by receiver function and local tomography, intermediate-depth earthquakes appear to be mainly confined to the Indian lower continental crust at depths of 40–100 km. These earthquakes may be triggered by partial eclogitization reactions of the subducted lower continental crust. Stress inversion analysis of focal mechanism results grouped into 40–75, 75–90, and 90–130 km indicates that the principal compressional axes are essentially along the margin between the India and Burma microplate, implying resistance to the northward movement of the Indian plate. The principal tensional stress orients approximately east–west with its plunge systematically increasing with depth, implying the deformation may be caused by the negative buoyancy of the previously subducted oceanic slab.

Published: July 2023

Nüfus artışı bir ülke ekonomisi üzerinde önemli etkiye sahiptir. Nüfus artışı ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkinin önemi hem büyüme teorisyenlerince hem de kalkınma iktisatçıları tarafından kabul edilmektedir. Ancak nüfus ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkiye yönelik literatürde tam bir görüş birliği sağlanamamıştır. Bu konuda üç farklı görüş bulunmaktadır. Bazı araştırmacılar nüfusun ekonomik büyüme üzerinde olumlu bir etkisi olduğunu savunurken diğerleri etkinin olumsuz olduğunu iddia etmektedir. Bazı çalışmalarda ise iki değişken arasında ilişki bulunamamıştır. Bu makalede, nüfus ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki uzun ve kısa dönemli ilişki yaşam beklentisi, enflasyon ve sermaye oluşumu değişkenleri de dahil ederek Türkiye örneğinden hareketle 1968-2019 dönemine ait yıllık veriler kullanılarak ARDL sınır testi analizi ile incelenmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre, Türkiye’de nüfus kısa dönemde ekonomik büyümeyi negatif etkilerken uzun dönemde pozitif etkilemektedir. Yaşam beklentisi ve sermaye oluşumu büyümeyi kısa ve uzun dönemde pozitif etkilerken enflasyon değişkeni uzun dönemde negatif etkiye sahiptir.

Methods and tools of co-interaction of autonomous intelligent systems for distributed management of enterprise resources
Authors: Larukhin Vladimir B.
Published: July 2023

The article analyzes the problem of multi-level management of the resources of large enterprises and the associated limitations of the cascade approach in modern automated control systems. It is shown that the cascade approach leads to delays in management processes, an increase in management complexity and significant discrepancies between plans at different management levels, missed deadlines and exceeding order budgets. To solve the problem, a new distributed approach is proposed, which involves the design of autonomous intelligent systems for resource management of units that form strategic plans and run operational management; network interfaced interaction of these systems to coordinate and synchronize plans for events coming in real time. A method for designing distributed autonomous systems for managing enterprise resources has been developed. The possibility of implementing the approach within a digital ecosystem based on a network-centric platform with vertical and horizontal interactions of these systems is shown. The results of the development and implementation of the approach at industrial enterprises for the design, production and operation of high-tech products that require separate order planning and accounting are presented. The prospects for the approach development of the formation of digital twins of industry chains of enterprises cooperation are outlined.

Published: July 2023

This article analyzes the procedures for improving quality management using the example of solving problems of compliance with product quality requirements at industrial enterprises. The quality of the products largely depends on the use of modern methods and tools of quality management, as well as on improving the competence of personnel in the field of quality systems. In this regard, it is proposed to apply the corporate knowledge of the enterprise, including models and algorithms of artificial intelligence. Corporate knowledge is formed on the basis of the formation and processing of documentation, interviewing qualified specialists and intellectual data analysis on the implementation of business processes. During the research, an ontology of quality management was developed, decision-making rules were created and the results of improving the quality management system using a neuro-fuzzy network were predicted. The use of these artificial intelligence tools will make it possible to form a unified terminology to ensure an unambiguous perception of information by all participants in the process and the use of a knowledge base to support decision-making. It is proposed to use quality management tools to improve the efficiency of decisions made by intelligent tools, i.e. production rules and neural networks.

Hidayah in the Process of Conversion to Islam in the Perspective of Muallaf
Authors: Maimun Achmad
Published: July 2023

In islamic teachings, Hidayah (Divine Guidance) becomes a fundamental aspect as it determines a person's salvation, especially for it in the hereafter. The ulemas, through a deductive approach, formulate hidayah comprehensively based on textual evidence. On the other hand, muallaf feels the presence of hidayah in their spiritual journey through the process of conversion. Based on this background, this study was aimed to formulate the concept of hidayah from the perspective of muallaf and to compare it with the perspective of the ulemas. To address these issues, a qualitative approach was used in this study. The primary method of data collection was in-depth interviews conducted with ten muallaf from diverse social, economic, and educational backgrounds. The findings of this research were as follows: hidayah comes illuminatively and requires sacrifice, Allah does not misguide humans but only provides guidance to them, and hidayah is a terra incognita. Furthermore, the results of comparing the perspectives of ulema and muallaf on hidayah were as follows: ulemas use a deductive-speculative approach, while muallaf use an inductive-empirical approach. The ulemas base their views on textual evidence, whereas muallaf rely on their psychological-spiritual experiences. Conceptually, the explanations provided by the ulemas regarding hidayah are more comprehensive and systematic, while the explanations by muallaf are simpler. In the aspect of Allah's will, muallaf believe that Allah does not misguide His believers, while ulemas hold a different view.

У статті здійснюється соціально-філософське дослідження впливу суспільної свідомості етно-культурнихспільнот на відносини між локальними цивілізаціями у ХХ – на початку ХХІ століть. Особлива увага приділяється роліпсихо-емоційного стану, ментальності етнічних груп, які входять до відповідних локальних цивілізацій, архетипів їхньоїкультури. Показано, що такі складові етнічної культури, як мова, релігійна віра, етнічні обряди, звичаї, символи тощо,суттєво впливають на ставлення до представників інших етно-культурних утворень. Як наслідок, взаємини міжпредставниками різних локальних цивілізацій набувають або характеру взаємної поваги, або – конфронтації – аж довійськових зіткнень, або мають індиферентний характер.
ОБГРУНТУВАННЯ СПЕЦИФІКИ ТЯГЛОСТІ ФІЛОСОФСЬКОГО ПРОЦЕСУ В МЕЖАХ ОПОЗИЦІЇ МОДЕРН-ПОСТМОДЕРН
Authors: Гончаренко Катерина
Published: July 2023

У статті відслідковуються та аналізуються «відмінності» між філософією модерну та постмодерну, якіукорінилися в критичній літературі щодо постмодерної філософії як «фундаментальні». Доводиться, що завизначальну рису модерної філософії, на противагу постмодерну, береться спрямованість до формування цілісної,загальної філософської теорії, що претендує на істину і єдино вірний та науково обґрунтований погляд на реальність.Встановлюється, що сучасність елімінує цей підхід, розкодовує сенси маніфесту про всеосяжність і винятковістьмодерну, підтверджуючи цим вихід філософського знання на інший рівень, що виражається в постмодерному баченні:якісно новий рівень зі збереженням досягнень минулого, через подолання попередньої форми, але з максимальнимобмеженням її значення. Також, у статті обґрунтовується думка, що надмірне надання значущості модерну,виправдання його постулатів – це інфантильна віра в те, що людський розум має цілковиту можливість пізнати світяк таке собі «ціле», що може підкорятися якимось певним законам та правилам, що вже принципово є неможливим усучасних умовах.

У статті розглядаються концепції щодо майбутньої долі людства у часи міжцивілізаційних викликівглобалізованого світу. Найбільш адекватною для сьогодення визнається концепція С. Гантінгтона. Показано, якрозвиток сучасних технологій впливає на різні сфери людського існування. Наголошено, що у ХХІ століттіпотужний вплив на трансформаційні процеси в суспільстві і людській свідомості здійснюється через інформаційнівійни як компоненти сучасної гібридної війни. А намагання побудувати нову ціннісну систему в умовах цифровоїреальності спонукає людство замислитися над тим, до якого образу «Я» ми самі себе відносимо. Оскільки самецінності, як провідники трансцендентного, задають горизонти належного, надають нам наш власний образ.Показано, як нова цифрова реальність активно втілює свої абсолютні цінності стосовно людини та суспільства,унеможливлюючи будь-яку альтернативу. Виявлено, що людина водночас проживає у трьох світах і менше за всесьогодні приділяється уваги внутрішньому світу людини, між тим як увага до світу соціального є значно завищеною,що може призвести до втрати людяності заради ілюзорних цінностей.

Стаття присвячена аналізу сучасних глобалізаційних процесів, їхнім впливам на індивідуальне життялюдини. Наголошується, що саме початок ХХІ століття характеризується особливою увагою світовоїдослідницької літератури до цього проблемного поля: по-перше, до проблеми необхідності глобальних змін існуючихсоціумах; по-друге, до необхідності розробки нових методологічних підходів до проблеми життя людини, до проблембуття і часу; до необхідності інновацій у методології та тих стратегій, які мають стати своєрідним дзеркалом длянадзвичайно мінливого сучасного світу. Доведено, що ідея «об’єднання світу» існувала впродовж багатьох століть івважалося, що такий підхід є єдино можливим для цілого людства. Окреслюються як негативні, так і позитивнінаслідки процесів глобалізації. Висновком є те, що людина є вільною у метафізичному плані, а в емпіричному – такою,яка підкоряється необхідності. Такий підхід був типовим для філософських поглядів багатьох представників якзахідноєвропейської традиції філософування, так і слов’янського духовно-культурного ренесансу на зламі ХІХ і ХХст. й початку ХХІ ст.

Authors: Salven David , Sykes David , Erickson Melissa , Than Khoi , Grossi Peter , Crutcher Clifford , Berger Miles , Bullock W. Michael , Gadsden Jeff , Abd-El-Barr Muhammad
Published: July 2023

Background: Regional anesthesia, which refers to the use of anesthetics to provide analgesia to a specific body part or nervous innervation territory, has become increasingly popular in the field of spine surgery. With the application of these techniques, it has been postulated that patients will require less systemic analgesia, intraoperatively and postoperatively. The authors of this narrative review discuss the common regional anesthetic modalities applied to spine surgery, in addition to patient selection criteria, success in patients with multiple comorbid illnesses, and its adoption by surgeons.
Materials and Methods: An advanced search was performed in the PubMed database to obtain Englishlanguage articles discussing regional anesthesia, awake spine surgery, and postoperative complications. Articles were screened for relevance, and 47 articles were incorporated into this narrative review.
Results: Classic neuraxial and paraspinal techniques have allowed surgeons to perform posterior decompression, fusion, and revision procedures. Transversus abdominus plane and quadratus lumborum blocks have enabled better pain control in patients undergoing surgeries requiring anterior or lateral approaches. Documented benefits of regional anesthesia include shorter operative time, improved pain control and hemodynamic stability, as well as decreased cost and length of stay. Several case series have demonstrated the success of these techniques in highly comorbid patients.
Conclusion: Regional anesthesia provides an exciting opportunity to make surgical treatment possible for spine patients with significant comorbidities. Although additional randomized controlled trials are necessary to further refine patient selection criteria, current data demonstrates its safety and efficacy in the operating room.

Published: July 2023

Issues about education in the urban areas and rural areas are crucial in the Indonesian context. The reason is the differentiation of the quality of the Indonesia education across the country because of those areas. During their practice, English teachers in that area face many limitations that hinder the process of teaching and learning. This case study aimed to explore two English teachers’ challenges in teaching in rural areas of Indonesia and how they overcome those challenges to maximize their role as a teacher through their teaching reflection on interview and document analysis. This is significant for giving the teachers’ views on facing the challenges in every condition of teaching English and for giving a picture to the government about the real condition of teaching English in the rural areas. The result showed that English teachers tried to deal with their own teaching condition and institution, their students, and socio-cultural conditions around them. As the solution, teachers overcome those problems by strengthening their roles as a teacher and understanding social pedagogy. However, there is still a need for English teachers to get more training related to their job in teaching English in rural areas.
Reducing Moral Value in Online Learning System; Literature Review
Authors: Supatmi Ruri , Malazarte Malyn
Published: July 2023

Concepts of self, community, and "what is right and wrong" are continually evolving in our education, but online learning system changed all the concept.  This makes it particularly difficult for young people to develop a sense of who they are and to pinpoint their most important values but now the students felt freer when online meeting applications included restrictions. Because of this, they behaved improperly and rudely in front of professors and in online classrooms. The flexibility of online learning changed that since in traditional face-to-face classroom settings, students are under more ethical strain and consequently hesitate before engaging in inappropriate behaviours. What are the behavioural implications of online learning on students? is the issue. Authors seek to ascertain the link between online education and students' conduct, particularly morality and ethics. So, in an effort to lessen the impact and even prevent unforeseen events in the future, consider a potential remedy. Data were collected by the authors using a literature review and a survey, and were then analysed using descriptive and qualitative research. many data collected and described detailed by the researcher. The result is Students' moral values reduced in the process of online learning

Dos décadas antes de que San Martín proclamara la independencia, el Perú ya había vivido y también sufrido la ilusión y el desencanto del constitucionalismo, así como los sinsabores de la lucha electoral y las frustraciones que pueden dejar. La presente obra nos ofrece una aproximación a esta singular experiencia y su prolongación en los primeros ensayos republicanos llevados bajo la influencia de San Martín y Bolívar. El mérito del libro es poner al descubierto, un hecho no siempre conocido de nuestra historia colonial: la falta de verdad y de libertad electorales tan característicos de la República son, en realidad y como otros aspectos, parte de la pesada herencia institucional y moral de la Colonia.

Authors: Tiwari M.V. , Poshia V.K. , Bhinsara D.B. , Verma P.D.
Published: July 2023

Background: Agriculture is the process of producing food, feed, fiber and many other desired products by the cultivation of certain plants. The practice of agriculture is also known as “farming”. Agricultural technology refers to technology for the production of machines used on a farm to help with farming. Agricultural machineries have been designed for practically every stage of the agricultural process. They include machines for tilling the soil, planting seeds, irrigating the land, cultivating crops, protecting them from pests and weeds, harvesting, threshing grain, livestock feeding and sorting and packaging the products. Technology has played a big role in developing the agricultural industry. And women play major role in farming activities, which constitute nearly 43% of the world’s agricultural labor force, which rises up to 70% in some countries. But they do not have adequate awareness and access to improved technologies to reduce their drudgery and improve productivity, unlike men. Hence the present study has been conducted to make a positive impact by empowering them and bring awareness. Methods: In this research study sample were selected on the basis of front line demonstration method to introduce the set of 7 drudgery reducing tools i.e. Paddy thresher, Twin wheel hoe, Serrated sickle, Vegetable collection bag, milking stand cum stool, stalk puller, Rack, were given to the farm women for exposure .These implements were given to 5 self help group of 50 farm women and data were collected from them regarding the awareness about the technologies before and after the front line Demonstration programmes. Result: Adoption levels were assessed after completion of a crop season. It was found that partial awareness was there about the improved equipment before training and awareness was in the random selected group after the training programs. About 80 per cent of the farm women have adopted the given technologies. This study can helpful for promotion of technology in gender perspective towards the challenges of farm women would help in reducing drudgery and occupational health problems of women workers in agriculture.
Hematological Parameters on Llamas Blood Samples: Reliability Across a Range of Storage Times
Authors: Hadžimusiæ N. , Škapur V. , Pašiæ L. , Livnjak A.
Published: July 2023

Background: Llamas are becoming increasingly popular as livestock and as companion animals and their blood samples may require transportation over long distances and storage for extended periods prior to hematological analyses. Hematological parameters are influenced by a range of factors, including age, sex, diet and environment. Examining how these parameters change over time in stored blood samples can provide insights into the natural variation of these parameters in llamas, which can inform future research on the health and biology of these animals. This study sought to evaluate the stability of hematological markers at 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 and 42 hours of storage in blood samples of llamas (Lama glama) stored at 4°C. Methods: The study was conducted on blood from eight clinically healthy llamas captivated at Sarajevo Zoo-Pionirska dolina, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The effect of storage was observed on the following hematological parameters: Red Blood Cell count (RBC), hematocrit (HCT), hemoglobin (HGB), Mean Cell Volume (MCV), Mean Cell Hemoglobin (MCH), Mean Cell Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Reticulocyte count (RETIC), White Blood Cell (WBC). White blood cell differentiation, absolute white blood cell counts, platelet count (PLT) and mean platelet volume (MPV) are also included. Result: During 42 hours of storage at 4°C, it was discovered that red blood cells, hemoglobin, white blood cells, mean cell hemoglobin and reticulocyte, as well as the differentiation of white blood cells and measurement of their absolute values, remained stable. However, hematocrit increased at 12 h, while mean cell hemoglobin concentration decreased at 12 h when stored at 4°C.

Background: The determination of the breeding potential and direction of the population in terms of traits of interest depends on the genetic variation. Therefore, it is essential to know the genetic parameters of economic traits to improve yields in animal breeding. The objective of this study was to investigate the heritability, genetic and phenotypic correlations among growth traits in Anatolian buffaloes of ìstanbul province. Methods: A total records of 7649 birth weights, 4623 sixth-month weights and 3133 yearling weights belonging to buffalo calves born between 2012 and 2021 were used. Genetic and phenotypic parameters were estimated from univariate and bivariate animal model using restricted maximum likelihood (REML) procedure in Wombat software. Village, year, season, sex and age of dam were considered as fixed effects and animal additive genetic effect was taken as random effect. Result: The heritability estimates for birth, sixth-month and yearling weights were 0.14±0.03; 0.22±0.05; 0.39±0.07 respectively. Genetic and phenotypic correlations among growth traits were generally significant and positive and ranged from 0.28±0.02 to 0.97±0.02. As a consequence, the moderate to high estimates of heritability, genetic and phenotypic correlations on growth traits showed that there were some opportunities for genetic improvement in buffaloes of ìstanbul. These genetic parameters should be considered in selection programs.

Authors: Arifa Laily Nur
Published: July 2023

Covid-19 pandemic requires students to study at home without interacting in class for a while. Learning from home is undoubtedly difficult for early childhood and elementary school students, especially students with special needs, including dyslexia. Many studies aiming to improve the alphabet based-reading skill for children with dyslexia have been conducted; nevertheless, further study on Al-Qur’an reading skill for these children in Indonesia as a country with the majority of Muslim inhabitants is considered essential. The different characteristics between Latin and Arabic alphabets create a complex challenge for dyslexic students. Arabic as a foreign language whose written form is rarely found publicly has made dyslexic children less exposed to Arabic alphabetical forms. This study is of single-subject experiment type and uses the A-B-A design. The intervention stage comprises four media, namely Uno stacko, flashcard, kinetic sand, and playdough. The study results prove 0% overlap, and the intervention is proven to be successful in improving the Al-Qur’an reading skill of students with dyslexia significantly.

Published: July 2023

Semakin tingginya kebutuhan masyarakat di bidang pendidikan terutama jenjang anak usia dini khususnya yang berbasis islam membuat banyak bermunculan sekolah PAUD yang berlandaskan islam. Akan tetapi kenyataannya saat ini masih kurang sekali edukasi tentang manajemen pendidikan islam yang baik sehingga beberapa sekolah ada yang melaksanakan manajemen ini asal menerapkannya saja tanpa tahu konsep dari manajemen itu sendiri. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahuai dan menganalisis manajemen pendidikan islam di PAUD khsusunya di RA Asy-Syahriyah. Pendektan yang digunakan yaitu penelitian kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian wawancara terpusat (focused intervews). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa manajemen pendidikan islam telah di terapkan di RA Asy-Syahriyah. Penerapan manajemen pendidikan islam berdasarkan pandangan peneliti bahwa masih belum begitu terstruktur dan maksimal dalam pelaksanaannya. Hal ini disebabkan karena kurangnya personel guru dan staf yang ada di RA Asy-Syahriyah. Jumlah guru di RA Asy-Syahriyah hanya berjumlah 6 orang, sehingga staf bidang administrasi perkantoran dikerjakan oleh guru yang ada atau biasanya rangkap jabatan. Selain itu, keadaan pandemi membuat mobilitas para guru terhambat dan kegiatan pembelajaran terbatas. Meskipun begitu, pihak sekolah tetap berusaha memberikan manajemen pendidikan islam yang terbaik.
