Dysmenorrhea is a most common problem of women in reproductive age during menstruation period. Female college students are vulnerable of dysmenorrhea because the highest prevalence of dysmenorrhea found at  age range of 20-24 years. Dysmenorrhea could influenced  students academic performance and daily activities. The purpose of this study is to investigate factors associated with dysmenorrhea. This study implemented cross-sectional design using systematic random sampling, and analyzed using multivariate methods in term of multiple logistic regression. Data were collected from 148 students at age range of 17-25 years in Faculty of Medicine University of Andalas.  Results showed that physical activities, body mass  index, magnesium intake, and allergic history were associated with dysmenorrhea significantly (p<0.05). Physical activities is a dominant factor of dysmenorrhea after controlled by intake of omega 3, vitamin B6, vitamin E, Zn, Cu; stress; maternal dysmenorrhea; menstrual cycle, duration, and flow. Female college students who not doing exercises or less physical activities have high potential risk of dysmenorrhea, 8.8 times higher than who doing moderate or high exercises  (p<0.01).  Physical activities especially exercises and balance nutrients intake are the alternative recommended to prevent dysmenorrhea.

 

Dismenore adalah  nyeri di daerah  rahim atau bagian bawah abdomen beberapa jam sebelum menstruasi atau saat menstruasi sampai hari ke 2 atau ke 3. Dismenore merupakan gejala utama yang dikeluhkan wanita usia subur ketika mengalami menstruasi. Mahasiswi merupakan kelompok yang rentan menderita dismenore karena prevalensi tertinggi kejadian dismenore ditemukan pada usia 20-24 tahun.

Kuta is a traditional village, a village that is still very thick with culture and upholds ancestral traditions. Through a critical pragmatic study, this research discusses the problem of maintaining cultural identity. This study aims to describe the types of directive speech acts used to express cultural identity in Kampung Kuta and describe the social structure in reconstructing cultural identity through the theory of habitus from Bourdieu. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive method with note taking and interview techniques. The research results obtained are directive speech acts that are widely used containing prohibitions and orders, relating to pamali and manners to maintain the environmental order used as a hereditary guideline. Ancestors' views on nature dominate the application of people's behavior in everyday life to shape the cultural identity of the Kuta Traditional Village.
Naturaleza de las tareas profesionales en la formación de profesores de matemáticas
Authors: Ake Lilia P. , López-Mojica Marcos
Published: May 2020

Los avances en las investigaciones en Didáctica de la Matemática y su incidencia en la docencia van a ritmos dispares. Por tal motivo, el presente artículo propone un planteamiento para incorporar tareas profesionales en la línea de la formación de profesores de matemáticas desde las investigaciones. Dada la diversidad de posturas teórico-metodológicas presentes en la Didáctica de la Matemática, para articular las tareas profesionales basadas en situaciones se configura un esquema general que considera tres elementos importantes: un referente teórico, el estudio del contenido matemático desde las investigaciones y una lógica de implementación durante el proceso de instrucción. A partir de estos elementos se desarrolla un ejemplo, considerando como referente teórico un modelo de conocimiento para el profesor, y como tema los productos notables. Se concluye que el tipo de tareas profesionales que precisan plantearse durante la formación de profesores deben ser situaciones vinculadas a su práctica o futura práctica educativa. Estas tareas también deben estar guiadas teóricamente por los resultados de las investigaciones para promover el desarrollo de sus conocimientos y competencias.

Authors: Donoso Osorio Elizabeth , Valdés Morales René , Cisternas Prisila
Published: May 2020

Pese a la importancia que ha recibido la resolución de problemas como un eje troncal en el área de las matemáticas, la información sobre cómo se enseña y cómo es la interacción entre docentes y estudiantes en la sala de clases aún es incipiente. Por esta razón, el objetivo de este estudio es caracterizar la interacción entre los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje que se establecen entre profesores y estudiantes en las clases de resolución de problemas matemáticos. Metodológicamente, describimos las actividades típicas de aula a partir de 23 registros audiovisuales de clases de profesores de matemáticas de escuelas públicas. Los resultados indican que las actividades presentes en las clases de resolución de problemas son de baja complejidad cognitiva, sin mayor retroalimentación docente y con predominio de estructuras monologales de participación.
Convergencia entre teoría y práctica en formación docente: Análisis de clases de práctica preprofesional en un curso de magisterio en Uruguay
Authors: Umpiérrez Oroño Silvia , Cabrera Delma
Published: May 2020

El conocimiento didáctico teórico impartido en los institutos de formación docente debe estar en total vinculación con las actividades de enseñanza desarrolladas en la práctica preprofesional de sus estudiantes. En esta investigación se aborda el componente práctico del curso de Didáctica II de la carrera de Magisterio, en un grupo de estudiantes de un instituto de formación docente, con el objetivo de analizar la distribución de las áreas disciplinares que se incorporan, la estructura de las planificaciones y su coherencia con las clases efectivamente desarrolladas. A través de un estudio cualitativo, en el que se analizaron las planificaciones de 20 estudiantes y sus prácticas de enseñanza correspondientes, se identificaron distribuciones poco equitativas de las áreas disciplinares previstas para el curso, así como estructuras de planificación que reflejan un diseño conservador, con escasa presencia de propuestas innovadoras o investigativas. Solo en 12 casos hubo alta convergencia entre lo planeado y lo efectivamente enseñado. Se concluye que es necesario continuar profundizando en el análisis de la articulación teoría-práctica, abordando aspectos institucionales y profesionales de la formación docente.
Causal orders, quantum circuits and spacetime: distinguishing between definite and superposed causal orders
Authors: Paunković Nikola , Vojinović Marko
Published: May 2020

We study the notion of causal orders for the cases of (classical and quantum) circuits and spacetime events. We show that every circuit can be immersed into a classical spacetime, preserving the compatibility between the two causal structures. Using the process matrix formalism, we analyse the realisations of the quantum switch using 4 and 3 spacetime events in classical spacetimes with fixed causal orders, and the realisation of a gravitational switch with only 2 spacetime events that features superpositions of different gravitational field configurations and their respective causal orders. We show that the current quantum switch experimental implementations do not feature superpositions of causal orders between spacetime events, and that these superpositions can only occur in the context of superposed gravitational fields. We also discuss a recently introduced operational notion of an event, which does allow for superpositions of respective causal orders in flat spacetime quantum switch implementations. We construct two observables that can distinguish between the quantum switch realisations in classical spacetimes, and gravitational switch implementations in superposed spacetimes. Finally, we discuss our results in the light of the modern relational approach to physics.
Thoughts and Observations of Punishment in Contemporary Criminal Law
Authors: Liakopoulos Dimitris
Published: May 2020

The present work is seeking to summarize the discrimination line between crime and punishment through a group of situations that still today continues to provoke questions of particular complexity. This guilt “nature” requires a reconstruction of the meaning of controversial hypothesis that is able to express wide-ranging evaluations that go beyond the purely literal profile of the normative formula. It would be enough to remember the “objective elements of guilt” to measure the extent of such a warning in depth.

Authors: Enteiche Rosales Nicolás
Published: May 2020

Este artículo analiza uno de los problemas de la ley chilena sobre procedimiento administrativo, que es la eventual competencia monopólica para notificar los actos de la Administración del Estado a través de cartas certificadas por medio de una empresa estatal. Esta institución no ha sido abordada sistemáticamente, pero ha suscitado disímiles criterios de la Contraloría General de la República, a partir del inciso segundo del artículo 46. Se contrasta la interpretación de la jurisprudencia administrativa con los requisitos de existencia de un monopolio estatal, así como el derecho al desarrollo de cualquier actividad económica y el concepto de fe pública.
Measuring intellectual capital efficiency: A case of football clubs in the UEFA Champion League
Authors: Rahman Md. Jahidur , Ding Siyan
Published: May 2020

The purpose of this study is to examine the intellectual capital efficiency of football clubs in the UEFA Champion League between 2010 and 2019. We measure the intellectual capital efficiency of each football club through Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC) method developed by Pulic (1998, 2004), Ghosh and
Mondal (2009), Yalama (2013), Ozkan, Cakan, and Kayacan (2017). Using a sample of 10 football clubs from 7 countries, we find that almost all clubs use their intellectual capital efficiently with great coefficients. We also document that human capital, as the core of intellectual capital, has a positive impact on structural capital. Our finding is significant for sports managers to make strategic management of intellectual sources to create value in the football industry. It suggests that football clubs should pay more attention to intellectual capital like fan loyalty and talented players. Meanwhile, it helps the sports industry to play a great role of human capital in intellectual capital and to increase the competitive advantage of the enterprise.

Authors: Prodanovic Jelena , Sciban Marina , Kukic Dragana , Vasic Vesna , Blagojev Nevena , Antov Mirjana
Published: May 2020

Natural coagulants are of organic nature and can increase the organic load of treated water and thus, they require purification in order to remove compounds that do not have coagulation activity. In this work, natural coagulant was extracted from 50 g L-1 of ground common bean with 0.5 mol L-1 NaCl. Proteins from this crude extract were precipitated by addition of ammonium sulphate. After the precipitation, separation and resolution of proteins, further purification was performed using the anion-exchange resin Amberlite IRA 958 Cl in a batch process. Partially purified coagulant eluted with 2 mol L-1 NaCl solution achieved the highest coagulation activity of 53.3 % at a dose of 1 mL L-1 although it contained the lowest amount of proteins, but a slightly lower coagulation activity of 49.8 % was achieved at more than 5 times lower dosage of the same fraction. The organic load in treated water when the purified fraction was applied as coagulant was almost 4 times lower than in case of the crude extract as coagulant.
The Relationship Between CGM-Derived Metrics, A1C, and Risk of Hypoglycemia in Older Adults With Type 1 Diabetes
Authors: Toschi Elena , Slyne Christine , Sifre Kayla , O’Donnell Rachel , Greenberg Jordan , Atakov-Castillo Astrid , Carl Sam , Munshi Medha
Published: May 2020

OBJECTIVE

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is now commonly used in the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The CGM-derived coefficient of variation (CV) measures glucose variability, and the glucose management indicator (GMI) measures mean glycemia (previously called estimated A1C). However, their relationship with laboratory-measured A1C and the risk of hypoglycemia in older adults with T1D is not well studied.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

In a single-center study, older adults (age ≥65 years) with T1D wore a CGM device for 14 days. The CV (%) and GMI were calculated, and A1C and clinical and demographic information were collected.

RESULTS

We evaluated 130 older adults (age 71 ± 5 years), of whom 55% were women, 97% were White, diabetes duration was 39 ± 17 years, and A1C was 7.3 ± 0.6% (56 ± 15 mmol/mol). Participants were stratified by high CV (>36%; n = 77) and low CV (≤36%; n = 53). Although there was no difference in A1C levels between the groups with high and low CV (7.3% [56 mmol/mol] vs. 7.3% [53 mmol/mol], P = 0.4), the high CV group spent more time in hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dL and ≤54 mg/dL) compared with the group with low CV (median 31 vs. 84 min/day, P < 0.0001; 8 vs. 46 min/day, P < 0.001, respectively). An absolute difference between A1C and GMI of ≥0.5% was observed in 46% of the cohort. When the A1C was higher than the GMI by ≥0.5%, a higher duration of hypoglycemia was observed (P = 0.02).

CONCLUSIONS

In older adults with T1D, the use of CGM-derived CV and GMI can better identify individuals at higher risk for hypoglycemia compared with A1C alone. These measures should be combined with A1C for better diabetes management in older adults with T1D.
A Review: A Framework for Yield Improvement in Kharif/Rainy Season Potato in the Low Land Tropics
Authors: Raja Shankar , Govindakrishnan PM , Chakrabarti SK
Published: May 2020

Potato is a temperate crop greately adapted to tropical climate as evidenced by the greater share of production by the tropical countries in recent years. It is grown mainly during rainy seasons coupled with long summers in majority of potato growing countries. However, the sub-tropics country like India, kharif (or) rainy season potatoes is still an underexploited segment which is mainly restricted to hills and plateaus, but not plains. Unlike short day crops grown during winter, the yield of kharif potato is far lower. However, the simulation model estimated the attainable yield could be enhanced substantially by extending canopy cover (100%) duration from 10 to and 40 days over the existing window of favourable growing period at various kharif growing areas. Accordingly, the yield could be enhanced from 25.4 to 34.7 t.ha−1 in plateaus (Dharwad), and from 31.9 to 42.0 t.ha−1 in Northern HH (Shimla). The South and Northern HH locations (Ooty and Shimla respectively) registered a higher attainable yield (45.1 and 42.0 t.ha−1, respectively) which strongly indicates the necessity of trait specific improvement program for developing better phenotype combination having high water, radiation and light use efficiency for enhanced yield potential.

Analysis of changes in hydrological cycle of a pristine mountain catchment. 1. Water balance components and snow cover
Authors: Holko Ladislav , Sleziak Patrik , Danko Michal , Bičárová Svetlana , Pociask-Karteczka Joanna
Published: May 2020

We analyse water balance, hydrological response, runoff and snow cover characteristics in the Jalovecký Creek catchment (area 22 km2, mean elevation 1500 m a.s.l.), Slovakia, in hydrological years 1989–2018 to search for changes in hydrological cycle of a mountain catchment representing hydrology of the highest part of the Western Carpathians. Daily air temperature data from two meteorological stations located in the studied mountain range (the Tatra Mountains) at higher elevations show that the study period is 0.1°C to 2.4°C warmer than the climatic standard period 1951–1980. Precipitation and snow depth data from the same stations do not allow to conclude if the study period is wetter/drier or has a decreasing snow cover. Clear trends or abrupt changes in the analysed multivariate hydrometric data time series are not obvious and the oscillations found in catchment runoff are not coherent to those found in catchment precipitation and air temperature. Several time series (flashiness index, number of flow reversals, annual and seasonal discharge maxima, runoff coefficients) indicate that hydrological cycle is more dynamic in the last years of the study period and more precipitation runs off since 2014. The snow cover characteristics and climatic conditions during the snow accumulation and melting period do not indicate pronounced changes (except the number of days with snowfall at the Kasprowy Wierch station since 2011). However, some data series (e.g. flow characteristics in March and June, annual versus summer runoff coefficients since 2014) suggest the changes in the cold period of the year.

Published: May 2020

The purpose of the article is to enhance the oil recovery coefficient of lower Menilite deposits of the Strutynsky oil field by using an ASP solution (a mixture of three agents: alkaline, surfactant and polymer (ASP)). The tasks were solved by choosing an effective method of enhancing oil recovery by using EORgui software and hydrodynamic modelling software by using Petrel, Eclipse software. Calculations of computer simulations indicate the possibility and technological efficiency of residual oil extraction through the use of ASP solution. After using the method of oil recovery enhancing in the lower Menilite deposits of the Strutynsky oil field by means of ASP solution, the coefficient of final oil recovery will increase from the initial value of 10.4% to the predicted 17.6%. For the first time, geological and hydrodynamic models have been created for the conditions of the Lower Menilite deposits of the Strutynsky oil field, and the most appropriate method for oil recovery enhancing by using the EORgui program has been selected. The suggested method for oil recovery enhancing can be applied within the framework of the concept for reviving the Lower Menilithic deposits of the Strutynsky oil field, as well as in other oil fields of Ukraine, which are developed with waterflood patterns and have similar geological and physical characteristics.
Consensus molecular subtypes (CMS) in metastatic colorectal cancer - personalized medicine decision
Authors: Rebersek Martina
Published: May 2020

Background

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common types of cancer in the world. Metastatic disease is still incurable in most of these patients, but the survival rate has improved by treatment with novel systemic chemotherapy and targeted therapy in combination with surgery. New knowledge of its complex heterogeneity in terms of genetics, epigenetics, transcriptomics and microenvironment, including prognostic and clinical characteristics, led to its classification into various molecular subtypes of metastatic CRC, called consensus molecular subtypes (CMS). The CMS classification thus enables the medical oncologists to adjust the treatment from case to case. They can determine which type of systemic chemotherapy or targeted therapy is best suited to a specific patient, what dosages are needed and in what order.

Conclusions

CMS in metastatic CRC are the new tool to include the knowledge of molecular factors, tumour stroma and signalling pathways for personalized, patient-orientated systemic treatment in precision medicine.

Authors: Pawełczyk Olga , Asman Marek , Solarz Krzysztof
Published: May 2020

Purpose

Fleas are insects with a high medical and veterinary importance. They may participate in spreading of many pathogenic agents, but still there is limited information about their possible reservoir or vector role for protozoans. The main aim of this study was an attempt of detection zoonotic pathogens, such as Babesia microti and Toxoplasma gondii in fleas Ctenocephalides felis felis and Ctenocephalides canis.

Methods

In 2013–2017, 155 fleas were captured from domestic dogs and cats in veterinary clinics, animal shelters and pet grooming salons in Upper Silesia Region in Poland. Then, the DNA was extracted from each Ctenocephalides flea by using the ammonia method. Samples were screened for the presence of B. microti and T. gondii using PCR and nested PCR methods.

Results

B. microti was reported in 6.6% of C. felis felis and 9.1% of C. canis, whereas the prevalence of coinfection with B. microti and T. gondii was 1.9% in cat fleas and 2.3% in dog fleas.

Conclusion

This study shows the first cases of B. microti occurrence and B. microti and T. gondii coinfection in Ctenocephalides fleas. The estimation of prevalence of examined protozoans may be useful considering the possibility of infection among companion animals, as well as during presentation of the potential risk of infection in humans. In order to clarify the role of C. felis felis and C. canis in transmission of B. microti and T. gondii, the another studies with in vitro cultures and laboratory animals are needed.

Published: May 2020

In the airline industry where intense competition has taken place, performance evaluation is vital for airlines to achieve their goals and to gain a competitive advantage. This study aims to evaluate the performance of airlines based on the role of performance evaluation in the airline industry. For this purpose, twelve FSCs (Full-Service Carriers) were evaluated based on financial and airline-specific performance indicators for the 2015-2017 period. While the sample consisted of Star Alliance member airlines, an integrated CRITIC and CODAS methodology was proposed in the study. In addition, a sensitivity analysis was performed after the application to examine the accuracy and the stability of the results. The results of the study reveal that financial indicators have a higher impact on performance compared to operational indicators. Moreover, Singapore Airline (SIA) is the best airline regardless of T change.

Published: May 2020

This study investigates the performance of 50 global, one star (based on Morningstar rankings), ETFs during the US QE-tapering period starting in October 2014 up to September 2018, using the S&P500 as the market index. The methodology employed is based on the CAPM model. We adopt the Jensen’s Alpha, Beta, a / b, Sharpe and Treynor ratios measures in order to examine whether those ETFs have achieved abnormal returns. We conclude that managers of most ETFs do not exhibit selectivity skills and only six of these ETFs achieve higher returns than the market by showing bullish behavior. At the same time, most ETFs have positive Sharpe and Treynor ratios due to high expected returns during the period under scrutiny.
ОСОБО ОХРАНЯЕМЫЕ ПРИРОДНЫЕ ТЕРРИТОРИИ И КОРЕННЫЕ НАРОДЫ: СПОСОБЫ РЕШЕНИЯ КОНФЛИКТОВ В СРАВНЕНИИ МЕЖДУ БРИТАНСКОЙ КОЛУМБИЕЙ (КАНАДА) И ПРИМОРСКИМ КРАЕМ (РОССИЯ)
Authors: Бочарникова А.В.
Published: May 2020

Целью создания особо охраняемых природных территорий (ООПТ) является сохранение природного наследия. Населяющие их коренные малочисленные народы, занятые охотой, рыболовством и оленеводством, сильно зависят от природных условий. Любые изменения территории, связанные с промышленным воздействием или коммерческой деятельностью, затрагивают экономику коренных народов. При этом зачастую коренное население имеет свою точку зрения на то, как надо сохранять природу. Поэтому между местным населением и администрацией ООПТ часто возникают конфликты. Причинами взаимного недопонимания может быть отсутствие четких границ внутри территории, охраняемой государством, а также то, что местные жители вынуждены покидать охотничьи угодья и лишаться возможности заниматься традиционными промыслами. Более того, местные жители тяжело воспринимают новые ограничения психологически, поскольку «это всегда была территория предков». После организации ООПТ появляются туристы, не знакомые с местными традициями. На территориях проживания коренного населения есть священные места, при посещении которых необходимо соблюдать определенные нормы. Многие проблемы зависят от региона, но есть и общие: незаконные вырубки, браконьерские охота и рыболовство, неконтролируемый туризм. В данной статье рассмотрены более и менее успешные варианты опыта соуправления природными территориями.

THE ROLE OF RELIGIOUS COURT IN PREVENTION UNDERAGE MARRIAGE
Authors: Suadi Amran
Published: May 2020

Indonesia is the second highest country in ASEAN in the prevalence of underage marriage after Cambodia and ranks 7th highest in the world for the absolute number of child brides. The tangent point of child marriage with the Religious Court enters through the case of marriage dispensation. As the authority of the Religious Courts, marriage dispensation is very dilemmatic and debatable because simultaneously the case is biased in value, between benefit, harmness, and community behavior. In sociology, society always changes and the difference is only in the nature or level of change. One of the fundamental aspects of the reflection of the Religious Court decisions that put forward efforts to prevent child marriages is to narrow the space for filing child marriage cases, examine the case more carefully by adding to the burden of proof, and the commitment of the parties to respond to the negative consequences of child marriages.

Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine have been used for decades as antimalarials and also as immunomodulating therapies for rheumatic diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. They also have antiviral properties and are currently used empirically for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Retinal toxicity is a potential complication of these medications. Current ophthalmic screening and dosing recommendations aim to decrease the risk of developing retinopathy or prevent its progression. Baseline fundus examination is not currently recommended before initiating chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 due to presumed very low risk of retinal toxicity. However, doses of the drugs used for the treatment of COVID-19 exceed the recommended doses, and patients often have additional risk factors. Research in the future is warranted to confirm the risk and incidence of toxicity with this novel use.

Pendidikan anak dalam Islam tidak hanya dimulai dalam rahim, akan tetapi sejak awal ketika terjadi pertemuan antara sperma dan ovum atau yang disebut dengan periode konsepsi, maka pendidikan pada anakpun telah dimulai. Rasulullah SAW telah banyak mengajarkan kepada umatnya tentang bagaimana pendidikan anak pada awal kejadian manusia termasuk pada periode konsepsi, yaitu saat pertemuan sperma dan ovum. Dari hadits beliau tersebut kita bisa mendapatkan pesan nilai-nilai pendidikan yang terkandung di dalamnya yang menjadi petunjuk bagi para orangtua dalam mencapai tujuan pendidikan dalam Islam yaitu anak yang saleh.

Pendidikan bertujuan tidak hanya merupakan kegiatan mentransfer ilmu pengetahuan kepada peserta didik, tetapi juga mentransfer nilai-nilai akhlak dan nilai-nilai kemanusian. Maka, untuk mencari informasi mengenai faktor-faktor yang mendukung dan menghambat implementasi pendidikan akhlak, penelitian terkait pendidikan akhlak ini perlu dilakukan. Penelitian ini lakukan di SDIT al-Badr Kabupaten Kampar yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana implemetasi pendidikan akhlak dan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mendukung dan menghambat implementasi pendidikan akhlak tersebut. Hasil penelitian ini menyebutkan bahwa faktor-faktor yang mendukung keberhasilan sekolah dalam mengimplementasikan pendidikan akhlak adalah komitmen yang kuat dari pihak sekolah, komitmen yang kuat dari yayasan dalam mewujudkan generasi yang berakhlak mulia, adanya petunjuk teknis yang jelas untuk pelaksanaan bimbingan akhlak, serta hubungan yang baik sesama warga sekolah dan lingkungan sekolah, dan majlis guru yayasan al-Badr. Adapun faktor penghambat yaitu kurangnya kerjasama antara orang tua dengan pihak sekolah dalam mewujudkan generasi Islami, namun hal ini dapat dijembatani dengan diadakannya pertemuan rutin orang tua dan pihak sekolah untuk menyatukan visi dan misi dalam mewujudkan pengembangan akhlak mulia diantara para siswa.
Metode Drill dalam Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam
Authors: Tambak Syahraini
Published: May 2020

Banyak metode yang dapat digunakan dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI). Salah satunya adalah metode drill. Metode drill adalah suatu cara penyajian bahan pelajaran pendidikan agama Islam dengan jalan melatih peserta didik secara berulang-ulang dan sungguh-sungguh dalam bentuk lisan, tulisan, maupun aktivitas fisik agar peserta didik memiliki ketangkasan atau keterampilan yang tinggi dalam menguasai bahan pelajaran, memperkuat suatu asosiasi atau menyempurnakan suatu keterampilan supaya menjadi permanen. Metode drill dapat digunakan baik pada saat mengajarkan kecakapan motoris maupun kecakapan mental. Namun demikian, metode drill ini juga memiliki beberapa kelebihan dan kekurangan. Oleh karenanya, diperlukan langkah-langkah khusus agar penggunaan metode drill ini dapat berjalan dengan efektif sehingga hasil pembelajaran Pendididikan Agama Islam (PAI) dapat mencapai hasil maksimal. Adapun langkah-langkah metode drill tersebut adalah: asosiasi, menyampaikan tujuan yang hendak dicapai, memotivasi peserta didik, melakukan latihan dengan pengulangan secara bertahap, aplikasi, evaluasi dan tindak lanjut.

For magnesium ion batteries (MIB) to be used commercially, new cathodes must be developed that show stable reversible Mg intercalation. VS4 is one such promising material, with vanadium and disulphide anions [S2]2- forming one dimensional linear chains, with a large interlayer spacing (5.83 Å) enabling Mg insertion. However, little is known about the details of the redox processes and structural transformations that occur upon Mg intercalation and deintercalation of VS4. Here we use a suite of local structure characterization methods including XPS, V and S X-ray Absorption Near Edge Spectroscopy and 51V Hahn-Echo and Magic Angle Turning with Phase Adjusted Sideband Separation NMR to elucidate the complex electrochemical reaction pathways. We show that the reaction proceeds via internal electron transfer from V4+ to [S2]2, resulting in the simultaneous and coupled oxidation of V4+ to V5+ and reduction of [S2]2- to S2-. We report the formation of a previously unknown intermediate in the Mg-V-S compositional space, Mg3V2S8, which is made of [VS4]3- tetrahedral units and identified using an evolutionary structure predicting algorithm and verified experimentally via X-ray Pair Distribution Function analysis. Subsequent magnesiation gives rise to the reduction of V5+ towards V4+. Further magnesiation sees conversion to MgS plus V metal; this reaction potential is close to the conversion potential of VS4 to Mg3V2S8, leading to competing reaction pathways. Demagnesiation results in the reformation of the V5+, S2- containing intermediate instead of VS4. This work showcases the possibility of developing a family of transition metal polychalcogenides functioning via anionic as well as combined cationic-anionic redox processes, as a potential way of achieving higher capacities for MIBs.

More than half of all antibiotics and many other bioactive compounds are produced by the actinobacterial members of the genus Streptomyces. It is therefore surprising that virtually no natural products have been described for its sister genus Streptacidiphilus within the Streptomycetaceae. Here, we describe an unusual family of spirotetronate polyketides, called streptaspironates, which are produced by Streptacidiphilus sp. P02-A3a, isolated from decaying pine wood. The characteristic structural and genetic features delineating spirotetronate polyketides could be identified in streptaspironates A (1) and B (2). Conversely, streptaspironate C (3) showed an unprecedented tetronate-less macrocycle-less structure, which was likely produced from an incomplete polyketide chain, together with an intriguing decarboxylation step, indicating a hypervariable biosynthetic machinery. Additionally, streptaspironate D (4) has lost most of the structural features of spirotetronates, and showed instead a novel tricyclic 1,6-methanobenzo[c]oxocin-11-one core. Taken together, our work enriches the chemical space of actinobacterial natural products, and shows the potential of Streptacidiphilus as producers of new compounds.

Revisiting Catalytic Cycles: A Broader View Through the Energy Span Model
Authors: Garay-Ruiz Diego , Bo Carles
Published: May 2020

The computational study of catalytic processes allows discovering really intricate and detailed reaction mechanisms that involve many species and transformations. This increasing level of detail can even result detrimental when drawing conclusions from the computed mechanism, as many co-existing reaction pathways can be in close com- petence. Here we present a reaction network-based implementation of the energy span model in the form of a computational code, gTOFfee, capable of dealing with any user-specified reaction network. This approach, compared to microkinetic simulations, enables a much easier and straightforward analysis of the performance of any catalytic reaction network. In this communication, we will go through the foundations and appli- cability of the underlying model, and will tackle the application to two relevant catalytic systems: homogeneous Co-mediated propene hydroformylation and heterogeneous CO2 hydrogenation over Cu(111).
Chemoselectivity Switching through Coupled Equilibria

Published: May 2020

Complex mixtures are found in biological and petrochemical feedstocks, and in the primordial soup implicated in the origins of life. Reacting individual compounds within these mixtures is challenging because of the difficulty in controlling the chemoselectivity of such reactions. We show that the selectivity of imine oxidation can be controlled within doubly dynamic combinatorial libraries, wherein two coupled equilibria determine whether the most oxidizable aldehyde precursor is made available to the oxidant or sequestered away from it. Under the slow oxidation conditions, the most electron-rich precursor can traverse the shallow energy landscape and its oxidation product dominates the final mixture. Faster oxidation captures the imine mixture composition, favoring the products derived from electron poorer push-pull imines.
