Published: April 2019

Tenaga pendidik yang selanjutnya disebut guru, pada hakikatnya dituntut untuk memilikikompetensi yang meliputi empat kompetensi, yaitu kompetensi pedagogik, kompetensi profesional,kompetensi kepribadian dan kompetensi sosial. Pada kompetensi professional, guru diharuskanmenguasai bidang yang diasuhnya dan dapat melakukan perbaikan terus menerus sebagai bentuk usaha peningkatan kompetensinya. Salah satu usahanya adalah dengan melakukan kegiatan penelitian dan menghasilkan karya-karya inovatif. Pemerintah sendiri juga memfasilitasi dan memotivasi guru untuk secara konsisten dan berkala mengembangkan kompetensi ini, salah satunya adalah mengharuskan guru menghasilkan karya ilmiah sebagai persyaratan pada kegiatan kompetisi guru seperti kegiatan guru berprestasi, guru teladan dan sebagainya. Selain itu, untuk kenaikan pangkat tertentu sekarang juga diharus bagi guru-guru menghasilkan karya ilmiah maupun membuat PTK di kelas yang diajarnya yang tak lain adalah untuk menghasilkan SDM guru yang bagus. Menjawab tentangan itu, UNP sebagai salah satu LPTK penghasil guru, khususnya di Provinsi Sumatera Barat merasa perlu memberikan pembekalan bagi guru-guru di lapangan agar dapat bersinergi dan merespon tentangan ini dengan baik dan efisien.Analisis data awal dari subjek yang diteliti yaitu Guru IPA SMP dan MTs Kabupaten Agam memperlihatkan 44% dari objek yang diamati masih belum memiliki persiapan untuk dapat menghasilkan karya inovatif. Bentuk ketidaksiapan ini diantaranya meliputi pengetahuan yang kurang mengenai karya inovatif (59%), kurangnya pengalaman dalam menghasilkan sebuah karya inovatif (23%), kurangnya daya tanggap (respon) subjek serta kurangnya pelatihan yang diperoleh subjek dari tenaga ahli (82%).Setelah diberikan pembekalan, pendampingan dan pembinaan terhadap subjek yang diteliti, terlihat perubahan yang cukup signifikan. Sebanyak 76% dari subjek yang diteliti telah dapat memahami tentang karya inovatif, 82% dari subjek yang diteliti terbantu untuk menghasilkan karya inovatif. Mulai terbentuk respon positif dari subjek, 82% dari subjek menilai kreativitasnya mulai terbentuk, 79% subjek merasa lebih percaya diri dalam menghasilkan karya inovatif serta munculnya kerjasama antara sesama subjek yang diteliti.
Evaluating Visualization Sets: Trade-offs Between Local Effectiveness and Global Consistency
Authors: Qu Zening , Hullman Jessica
Published: April 2019

Evaluation criteria like expressiveness and effectiveness favor optimal use of space and visual encoding channels in a single visualization. However, individually optimized views may be inconsistent with one another when presented as a set in recommender systems and narrative visualizations. For example, two visualizations might use very similar color palettes for different data fields, or they might render the same field but in different scales. These inconsistencies in visualization sets can cause interpretation errors and increase the cognitive load on viewers trying to analyze a set of visualizations. We propose two high-level principles for evaluating visualization set consistency: (1) the same fields should be presented in the same way, (2) different fields should be presented differently. These two principles are operationalized as a set of constraints for common visual encoding channels (x, y, color, size, and shape) to enable automated visualization set evaluation. To balance global (visualization set) consistency and local (single visualization) effectiveness, trade-offs in space and visual encodings have to be made. We devise an effectiveness preservation score to guide the selection of which conflicts to surface and potentially revise for sets of quantitative and ordinal encodings and a palette resource allocation mechanism for nominal encodings.

The role of detours in individual human navigation patterns of complex networks
Authors: Gulyás András , Bíró József , Rétvári Gábor , Novák Márton , Kőrösi Attila , Slíz Mariann , Heszberger Zalan
Published: April 2019

Despite their importance for public transportation, communication within organizations or the general understanding of organized knowledge, our understanding of how human individuals navigate in complex networked systems is still limited owing to the lack of datasets recording sufficient amount of navigation paths of individual humans. Here, we analyze 10587 paths recorded from 259 human subjects when navigating between nodes of a complex word-morph network. We find the clear presence of systematic detours organized around individual hierarchical scaffolds guiding navigation. Our dataset is the first enabling the visualization and analysis of scaffold hierarchies whose presence and role in supporting human navigation is assumed in existing navigational models. By using an information theoretic argumentation, we argue that taking short detours following the hierarchical scaffolds is a clear sign of human subjects simplifying the interpretation of the complex networked system by an order of magnitude. We also discuss the role of these scaffolds in the phases of learning to navigate a network from scratch.
Community Violence and Prosociality: Experiencing and Committing Violence Predicts Norm-Enforcing Punishment but Not Cooperation
Authors: Littman Rebecca , Estrada Suzanna , Stagnaro Michael , Dunham Yarrow , Rand David Gertler , Baskin–Sommers Arielle
Published: April 2019

How does violence affect prosociality? Previous work shows that exposure to intergroup violence is positively related prosociality. Here, we test whether this finding extends to other types of community violence. In a sample of 100 residents from New Haven, CT, we examine the relationship between exposure to – and committing of – violence and economic games measuring prosociality (paying a cost to benefit others) as well as norm-enforcing punishment (paying a cost to impose a cost on selfish actors). We find that both exposure to violence and committing a violent crime are not associated with cooperation, but are positively associated with norm-enforcing punishment. These results suggest that unlike during intergroup conflict, violence is unrelated to cooperation when it occurs in a community context. Rather, norm-enforcing punishment is more commonly employed by individuals who have been exposed to community violence and engaged in violent behaviors themselves.
Neurocomputational Theories of Homeostatic Control
Authors: Hulme Oliver J , Morville Thobias , Gutkin Boris
Published: April 2019

Homeostasis is a problem for all living agents. It entails predictively regulating internal states within the bounds compatible with survival in order to maximise fitness. This can be achieved physiologically, through complex hierarchies of autonomic regulation, but it must also be achieved via behavioural control. Here we review some of the major theories of homeostatic control and their historical cognates, addressing how they tackle the optimisation of both physiological and behavioural homeostasis. We start with optimal control approaches, setting up key concepts, and expanding on their limitations. We then move onto contemporary approaches, in particularly focusing on a branch of reinforcement learning known as homeostatic reinforcement learning (HRL). Weexplain its main advantages, empirical applications, and conceptual insights. We then outline some challenges to HRL and reinforcement learning in general, and how survival constraints and Active Inference models could circumvent these problems.
Diversity Discourses: Moral Ethical And Pragmatic Reasoning in the Swedish Immigration and Integration Debate
Authors: Schall Carly Elizabeth
Published: April 2019

This article seeks to understand how values enter into political discourse via justification and how those values are negotiated over time. The article maps out the terrain of diversity discourses, both as a specific type of discourse and as an example of ethical, moral and pragmatic modes of argumentation. The author examines Swedish "diversity discourses" in the periods of 1968-1975 and 1991-1995 in an effort to tease out the pragmatic, moral and ethical aspects of these discourses. Diversity discourses are defined as discourses regarding how much and what kind of diversity is acceptable or desirable in a society, as well as how such diversity should be handled. I find that values, both contextually-dependent ethical values and universal moral values, rather than being "prior" to politics, arise out of the intersection of pragmatic, ethical and moral discourses. What is moral and ethical, then is colored by the particular nexus of moral, ethical and pragmatic concerns such that what is acceptable at one particular time and location, may be unacceptable in another, even coming from the same actors with the same ideological commitments. Shifts in the ethical/moral modes of justification, then, lead to shifts in who is included in a democratic community.
Structural configuration of a large-scale rotational earthslide at Syuchatar, Kathmandu, Nepal
Authors: Tamrakar Naresh Kazi , Manandhar Suman , Khanal Subarna
Published: April 2019

After a period of prolonged rain from 9 to 12 September 2005, a large rotational earthslide occurred on 16 September 2005 at Syuchatar in the Kathmandu valley. The horizontal fluvio-lacustrine strata constituting about 47 m high and 106 m long cliff as well as about 50 m wide upper flatland with paddy cultivation slipped towards the Manamati River and dammed it for about 8 hours. Later, its watercourse was restored by excavating a channel through the landslide debris. The earthslide also produced two minor scarps: the upper one with a rotation angle of 38º and the lower one with a rotation angle of 47º. A stereographic plot of poles to displaced coherent blocks forming the two minor scarps and dispersed fragmented blocks showed that the former had slid towards the northeast (N34ºE and N40ºE), and the latter had dispersed between the azimuths N13ºW and N60ºE. Though the in-situ infiltration test of the ground gave rather low rates, they were enough to produce a positive porewater pressure for triggering such a type of failure.

ON THE HISTORY OF DANTE’S TRANSLATIONS INTO RUSSIAN IN THE EPOCH OF MODERNISM: TRANSLATION OF «THE DIVINE COMEDY» BY V. BRUSOV
Authors: POPOVGA-ROGOVA NATALIA
Published: April 2019

The author examines a few excerpts from Inferno (Cantos III and V) translated into Russian by V. Brusov, both in the context of perception of «The Divine Comedy» by Dante in Russia, and from the viewpoint of verse translation methods’ evolution. The text’s analysis on the metric level gives evidence of V. Brusov’s search for new poetic forms, both through renewing and overriding the world literature classical examples, which is typical for Russian modernism of early XX century.
SOME ASPECTS OF ORIENTALISM IN I. BUNIN’S AND V. BRUSOV’S LITERARY HERITAGE
Authors: MARTIROSYAN KONSTANTIN
Published: April 2019

In the article the orientalism of A. Bunin in the light of creative intentions of V. Brusov is studied. After Bunin's brief collaboration with Brusov's editions, alienation of affections starts which grows into a rejection of creative installations. Nevertheless, a scrupulous analysis shows Brusov’s influence on both the publicism and the system of images created by Bunin, who was inspired by orientalism. A. Bunin tries to carefully veil these intentions, and therefore it is not a question of hints and paraphrases, but of subtle reminiscences. They show that Bunin by his worldview, as a whole, remains close to symbolists and is an inherent part of Russian modernism.
ANDREY BELY AND VALERY BRUSOV AS PORTRAYED BY CONTEMPORARIES
Authors: NASEDKINA ELENA
Published: April 2019

The paper discusses the iconography of V. Brusov. Well-known portraits done by Mikhail Vrubel (1906), Sergey Malyutin (1913) and Elizaveta Kruglikova (1910s) are considered in the context of works by other contemporary artists. The author shows how the popularity of these portraits triggered an avalanche of imitations and parodies and singles out works portraying V. Brusov and A. Bely together or done by the same artists. A. Bely’s tongue-in-cheek drawings of V. Brusov are also reviewed.

«SPANISH» WORLD CONCEPT IN POETRY OF K. BALMONT
Authors: CHULYAN ANNA
Published: April 2019

The purpose of this paper is to determine the Spanish concept of the world in the artistic perception of K. Balmont by the method of analysis of poetic works with Spanish themes in the creative heritage of the poet. The variety of the «Spanish» themes, motifs, and characters in K. Balmont’s poetic heritage proves that Spain was seen by the poet not only as historical or geographical scenery, against which the poet represented his own work; К. Balmont recreated the past of Spain, delved into the essence of the Spanish character, appealed to the masters of art and literature, which led to the endless transformation of the К. Balmont’s lyrical hero. «Spanish» themes, motifs, characters have served as a source for his critical articles and essays with Spanish themes, complementing the «Spanish» concept of the world in his literary heritage.

Published: April 2019

The analysis of accident scenarios in a nuclear power plant and consequently a review of the proper functioning of safety systems is very importance. In this paper, an analysis of a anticipated transient without scram has been done in the Loss of flow scenario with modeling the VVER-1000 reactor of Bushehr by MELCOR1.8.6 code. The chronological sequence of the different steps and the history of the parameters under this accident calculated with the code are evaluated. Parameters such as temperature and pressure changes in the primary and secondary circuit, temperature changes of fuel and fuel clad are calculated as well as a comparison with the melting temperature. Also, the rate of hydrogen production and pouring molten material into the reactor cavity is calculated. This information is very useful for managing the ATWS accident and controlling the reactor. Also, this results to assess Bushehr nuclear power plant. The results show that thermodynamic parameters of pressure and temperature passes the limit without any accident management.

Authors: Büke T. , Köne A. Ç.
Published: April 2019

The health impacts and corresponding damage costs of radioactive emission of Muğla province lignite-fired power plants have been assessed by using the simplified impact pathway approach. Radiation dose and risk calculations have been carried out by the code CAP88-PC around the power plants. Specific isotopes, 238U, 232Th, 226Ra and 40K in the flying ash samples are considered as radioactive sources. Power plants intersecting regions are also considered in the collective dose calculation. The estimated total collective dose around Muğla province due to Yatağan, Yeniköy and Kemerköy power plants is 5.25 × 10−2 man.Sv/year. The total health effects damage cost around the Muğla province due to the radioactive emissions from the power plants is 2504.3 US $ 2000/year. The results obtained from the calculations are under the dose limits of International Commission of Radiation Protection and it does not any risk for public health around the plant environment.
Relationship of Pure Tone Audiometry and Ossicular Discontinuity in Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media
Authors: Carrillo Ryner Jose C. , Yang Nathaniel W. , Abes Generoso T.
Published: April 2019

Background: Pure tone audiometry is routinely used to determine conductive and sensorineural hearing status. Ossicular discontinuity is usually assessed intra-operatively. If ossicular discontinuity can be predicted by pure tone audiometry, perhaps the operative procedure of choice and prognosis for hearing can also be anticipated.

 

Objective: To determine the predictive value of preoperative pure tone audiometry on the presence of gross ossicular discontinuity in chronic otitis media.

 

Methods: Records of 205 patients, 7 to 75 years of age undergoing their first operation for chronic otitis media were reviewed. Preoperative audiograms and operative records for tympanomastoidectomy were evaluated. A total of 162 patients meeting inclusion criteria were included in the study.

Likelihood ratios for positive and negative ossicular discontinuity for frequency-specific air-bone gap cut-offs were determined. Multiple logistic regression analysis for pure tone audiometry and operative findings to predict ossicular discontinuity was performed and a model for predicting ossicular discontinuity using logistic regression obtained.

 

Results and Conclusion: Frequency-specific air bone gap (ABG) cut-off values can predict ossicular discontinuity in chronic suppurative otitis media namely: < 20 dB ABG at 500 Hz predicts absence of ossicular discontinuity while > 50 dB ABG at 500 Hz, >30 dB ABG at 2 KHz, and > 50 dB ABG at 4 KHz best predict the presence of ossicular discontinuity in general.

In the absence of cholesteatoma, the air bone gaps of <30 dB at 500 Hz and <20 dB at 1 KHz

decrease probability of ossicular discontinuity from 32.97% to 2.54%. Combination of air bone

gaps of >50 dB at 500 Hz, >20 dB at 2 KHz and >40 dB at 4 KHz increase the probability of ossicular discontinuity from 32.97% to 85.9%. These findings suggest that ossicular exploration may not be necessary for the former while an evaluation of the ossicular chain may be mandatory for the latter in the setting where cholesteatoma is not present or suspected.

            Presence of cholesteatoma, granulation tissue and size of tympanic membrane perforation

are important factors to consider in predicting ossicular discontinuity.

Low Dose, Short-Term Oral Methylprednisolone for Nasal Polyps: A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial
Authors: Sanchez Romeo C. , Campomanes Benjamin SA. , Aguilar Natividad A.
Published: April 2019

Objectives: To determine the efficacy of a 7-day treatment of methylprednisolone 16mg in

reducing the size of nasal polyps and on improvement of nasal symptoms.

 

Methods:

Design: Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial

Setting: Out-patient department of the East Avenue Medical Center

Patients: Patients 18 years old and above with nasal polyposis determined by history and endoscopic examination

 

Results: There was a significant decrease in polyp size by an average of 16% (P < .05) among 12 out of the 23 patients (52.17 %) in the steroid group versus placebo. The treatment group also exhibited an improvement in nasal symptoms of rhinorrhea, congestion and anosmia compared to the placebo.

 

Conclusion: Medical treatment with oral methylprednisolone given at a low dose of 16 mg for one week resulted in reduction of the size of nasal polyps and improved the symptoms of rhinorrhea, nasal congestion and anosmia. Other associated symptoms like headache, epistaxis,  sneezing, itchiness, epiphora, cough, postnasal drip, throat discomfort, facial pain, eye complaints and fever did not differ between the steroid and placebo groups.

 

Recommendation: One week of oral steroids can be used to treat nasal polyps initially. If there is response, this mode of management can be combined with a long-term course of intranasal steroid sprays9,10. Patients who do not respond may be referred for surgery.

Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Mandible
Authors: Roldan Rodante A. , Llanes Erasmo Gonzalo DV. , Villarta Romeo L.
Published: April 2019

Objectives: 1] To describe a case of an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma presenting as a radiolucent mandibular mass in a 3-year-old child. 2] To review existing literature on the clinical picture and pathophysiology of intraosseous rhabdomyosarcoma. 3] To identify learning points in the diagnosis of intraosseous rhabdomyosarcoma.

 

Design: Case report.

 

Setting: A tertiary referral hospital.

 

Patients: One (1)

 

Results: A case of a 3-year-old child with a radiolucent mandibular mass is described. The final histopathologic report turned out to be embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Intraosseous rhabdomyosarcomas are rare occurrences (3.5% in one review), and clinically present in younger age groups, with a non-tender, enlarging, firm-hard mass over a specific area. A review of the available literature on intraosseous rhabdomyosarcomas, and its proposed pathogenesis, is presented.

 

Conclusion: A case of a radiolucent mandibular mass in a 3-year-old child is presented. Intraosseous rhabdomyosarcomas of the mandible are rare occurrences that pose challenges to the otorhinolaryngologist. Taken separately, the presentation, patient characteristics, clinical course, ancillary laboratories and imaging modalities may lead even the most astute otorhinolaryngologist astray. The whole clinical picture should be taken together so that the correct diagnosis will not be missed despite the rare presentation.

Odontogenic Ghost Cell Carcinoma of the Maxilla
Authors: Lim Ella C. , Carnate Jose M. , Avila Jose Ma. C.
Published: April 2019

This is from a 39-year-old male with a 26-six-year history of a maxillary mass, recurring after excision, 10cm in widest diameter, solid and cystic.

 

Odontogenic ghost cell carcinomas (OGCC) are rare and only a dozen or so have been reported in the literature. This tumor appears to be more common in Asians based on the cases that have been reported and is more common in the maxilla than the mandible. Histologically, elements of a benign calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) can be identified in all the malignant variants, either separated or admixed with the malignant epithelial component. The biological behavior of the tumour is unpredictable, with some cases characterized by relatively indolent growth and others by a locally aggressive and potentially fatal course. The tumour apparently arises most often from malignant transformation of a preexisting benign COC, although it may also develop from other odontogenic tumours. The section shows cords and islands of stellate reticulum displaying peripheral palisading of ameloblasts. There are numerous polygonal cells that have eosinophilic cytoplasm and indistinct cellular detail (“ghost cells”). Calcified dental matrix is also present. Although cytologic atypia appears mild, the borders are infiltrative.
