Transformasi Makna Ta’aruf di Era Digital
Authors: Elysia Eda , Chatra Emeraldy , Arif Ernita
Published: June 2021

Kehadiran internet memberikan alternatif bagi setiap individu untuk mencari pasangan hidup (jodoh) tanpa harus bertatap muka. Penelitian bertujuan untuk menganalisis pergeseran makna yang terjadi dalam proses ta’aruf yang dijalani oleh pria dan wanita yang sudah menikah serta individu yang sedang menjalani ta’aruf. Penelitian kualitatif ini fokus untuk menggali tahapan hubungan komunikasi interpersonal dalam proses ta’aruf melalui analisis data Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Informan penelitian ini terdiri dari tujuh orang, yaitu tiga pasangan yang sudah menikah melalui proses ta’aruf dan satu orang yang sedang menjalani proses ta’aruf di Kota Padang. Informan dipilih dengan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian ini diperoleh bahwa tahapan dalam proses ta'aruf klasik, antara lain perkenalan, konfirmasi, penjajakan, pertemuan keluarga dan menetapkan hari pernikahan. Tahapan ta'aruf klasik ini bertransformasi dikarenakan konsekuensi teknologi komunikasi. Ta’aruf sudah bisa dilakukan melalui teman, orang tua, saudara maupun media sosial. Ta'aruf online membuat terjadinya pergeseran makna ta'aruf, di mana kesakralan sebuah proses ta’aruf sudah diartikan berbeda walaupun esensinya sama. Saat ini, keseriusan individu dalam menjalani ta’aruf tidak murni karena Allah, melainkan menjadi lifestyle dan sudah menjadi konsumsi publik bahkan kamuflase. The presence of the internet provides an alternative for each individual to find a life partner (mate) without having to meet face to face. This study aims to analyze the shifting of meaning  in the ta'aruf process carried out by married couples and individuals undergoing ta'aruf. This qualitative research focused on exploring the stages of interpersonal communication in ta'aruf using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The informants of this study consisted of seven people, of which three couples were married through the ta'aruf process and one person who was undergoing the ta'aruf process in Padang. Informants were selected by the purposive sampling technique. The results of this study indicated that the stages in the classical ta'aruf process includes an introduction, confirmation, exploration, family gatherings, and setting a wedding day. This classical ta'aruf stage transforms due to the impact of communication technology. Ta'aruf can be done through friends, parents, siblings, and social media. Online ta'aruf makes a shift in the meaning of ta'aruf, where the sacredness of a ta'aruf process has been interpreted differently, although the essence stays the same. At present, the seriousness of individuals in carrying out ta'aruf is not purely due to Allah, but ta’aruf has become a lifestyle, public consumption, and even camouflage.

On the definition of fair value for purposes of IFRS
Authors: GORODILOV Mikhail A. , RADEVICH Anna A.
Published: June 2021

Subject. This article discusses the issue of defining the Fair Value concept, its similarity and identification with the concept of Market Value. It examines the specifics of each particular value, defines the concept of Fair Value, and analyzes approaches (methods) of fair value valuation, clarifies existing problems of determining fair value for the purposes of IFRS application.
Objectives. The article aims to define the notion of Fair Value and appropriate use in accounting, as well as explore approaches to assess fair value.
Methods. For the study, we used a comparative analysis.
Results. The article says of many inconsistencies in the valuation of fair value, starting with the lack of a clear definition of fair value in IFRS, which is actually identified with the concept of market value. It proposes a refined definition of fair value and identifies fundamental differences between fair and market values, which are based on the procedures used in their assessment.
Conclusions. Fair and market values are two different types of valuation. Fair value can be the same as market value, but only if there is an active market available. There is no single concept of Fair Value presented in scientific and special literature. The same approaches are used in fair (IFRS) and market (valuation standards) assessments, but the methods described for each approach are not always the same.

The role of brand in corporate strategies for mergers and acquisitions
Authors: ASTAPOV Kirill L. , KHVOROSTYANAYA Anna S.
Published: June 2021

Subject. The article discusses how brand influences corporate and financial strategies.
Objectives. We determine the role of brand in setting up transformation strategies, including M&A, financial indicators of companies.
Methods. We relied upon methods of economic analysis and synthesis, comparison, matching. Strategic analysis is based on renowned concepts for strategic marketing and branding, including those proposed by M. Porter, Ph. Kotler, R. Kaplan and D. Northon, V. Kvint's methodology for strategy-setting.
Results. Illustrating some cases, we justify the hypothesis stating that branding plays the most significant role in setting up transformation deal strategies for consumption sectors, light industry and fashion, while transformation processes in high-tech, banking are not always accompanied with rebranding. Furthermore, we suggest how it should be assessed whether it is reasonable to save a brand in case of M&A.
Conclusions and Relevance. Businesses can refer to this study and respective cases to comprehensively evaluate business transformations, including new views of the role a brand plays for the financial feasibility of M&A deals across industries. The capitalization of a newly transformed company can be increased provided rebranding is more thoroughly considered as part of M&A.
The Russian degree of the coherence of finance and economy
Authors: SMIRNOV Valerii V.
Published: June 2021

Subject. The article discusses the extent to which finance and economy are bound in Russia.
Objectives. The study determines the cohesion of finance and economy in Russia.
Methods. The study is based on the systems approach and methods of statistical, neural network and cluster analysis.
Results. The paper determined the extent to which finance and economy are connected in Russia, considering the decay in the world economic order affecting the structural consistency of the Russian economy. The connection of finance and economy in Russia was found to tend to a lower profit margin from the difference of weighted average rates and the exchange rate, which pushes the financial sector to mortgage lending. To smooth any disparities in the lending market and eliminate causes of the housing bubble, the Russian Ministry of Finance has to increment the domestic debt ? RGBI. Analyzing the dynamics of RGBI, RTSI, USDRUB, NGG2021, BRG2021, I found out that USDRUB exceeded RGBI, RTSI and BRG2021. Natural gas (NGG2021) remains the only mechanism for sustaining the volume and return on RGBI. The U.S. sanctions against the Russian gas sector force to increase the volume of RGBI. The existing degree of the cohesion of finance and economy in Russia fuels an economic collapse than can be compared with 2008.
Conclusions and Relevance. Studying the extent to which finance and economy are bound in Russia, it is possible to guide stakeholders of financial institutions, allowing them to increase the efficiency of lending for the real economy and using the potential of the resource structure of the Russian economy. The findings contribute to the available knowledge and competence of governmental officials and employees of financial institutions for choosing growth drivers of the Russian economy and seizing opportunities for this.
TRANSFORMATION OF EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS THROUGH CO-OP EXPERIENCES
Authors: Ali Haaniyah , Harris Dr. Jeffrey
Published: June 2021

The structure of co-operative programs gives students the opportunity to transform employability skills.  Using a proposed conceptual framework and inspirationfrom Mezirow’s Transformative Learning Theory, this paper analyzes four engineering students in varying disciplines across the three contexts that a co-op experience provides: pre co-op school setting, co-op work placement and the post co-op school setting. Using reflection and by adapting to their settings, these students transformed their communication, organization/ time management and initiative/ responsibility skills. Analyzing these skills and experiences against the framework, we can see how the details and specifics of the transformation varies for each student; however, each student needs to experience each stage for successful transformation. Each of the stages then feeds into and helps further the skills as it changes.
A PILOT STUDY ON THE PREVALENCE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN CANADIAN ENGINEERING DESIGN CURRICULA
Authors: Khanolkar Pranav Milind , Gad Mohammed , Liao Jessica , Hurst Ada , Olechowski Alison
Published: June 2021

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have shed light on the potential uses and applications of AI tools in engineering design. However, the aspiration of a fully automated engineering design process still seems out of reach of AI’s current capabilities, and therefore, the need for human expertise and cognitive skills persists.  Nonetheless, a collaborative design process that emphasizes and uses the strengths of both AI and human engineers is an appealing direction for AI in design. Touncover the current applications of AI, the authors review literature pertaining to AI applications in design research and engineering practice. This highlights the importance of integrating AI education into engineering design curricula in post-secondary institutions. Next, a pilot studyassessment of undergraduate mechanical engineering course descriptions at the University of Waterloo and University of Toronto reveals that only one out of a total of 153 courses provides both AI and design-related knowledge together in a course. This result identifies possible gaps in Canadian engineering curricula and potential deficiencies in the skills of graduating Canadianengineers.
USING GLOBAL VIRTUAL TEAMS TO SUPPORT A SUSTAINABILITY MINDSET IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION
Authors: Ndubuisi Anuli , Slotta James
Published: June 2021

In an increasingly interconnected economy, future engineers require a sustainability mindset, whichnecessitates a global perspective, to enable them to work together with diverse partners to tackle the world’s problems in a sustainable manner. This study explores engineering students’ development of intercultural competencies within the context of culturally diverse global virtual team projects. We report on two consecutive iterations of an Intercultural Competency Module (ICM) delivered within a global virtual team project setting, in which engineering students are engaged in collaborative technical projects. Each study iteration comprised of a presurvey to gain insights into student’s prior knowledge and cultural background and a post-survey to determinestudents’ perceptions of their intercultural learning and experiences. Employing a mixed-methods approach, we found that blending ICM with global virtual team projects was a successful approach for helping engineering students acquire international experience and developintercultural competencies in addition to technical engineering knowledge.

ONLINE EDUCATION – ENGINEERING STUDENTS’ PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Poitras Gérard J. , Cormier Gabriel , Poitras Eric G.
Published: June 2021

With online learning moving into the long term, the mental and academic impacts on students arelikely to be challenging. Preliminary results obtained from three different student surveys are presented and analyzed for different cohorts of undergraduate engineering students enrolled in an engineering program at the Université de Moncton. The first survey was administered during the last week of the Winter semester, before the final exams period. This survey was administered by the Engineering Faculty and created to get an overview of students experience during their online learning sessions. Specifically, the goal of this survey was to get information on which technical tools work best for distance learning during their online sessions and to improve future online learning sessions. Another survey was completed at the end of the Fall 2020 online learning semester. About half of all engineering students completed the surveys and a preliminary analysis was conducted. Finally, a third survey was administered during the Winter 2021 online learning semester. The aim of this study is to evaluate and analyze the results of these surveys using educational data mining. This work will provide an overview of the online learning experience during the end of the Winter 2020 semester and the academic year 2020-2021 and establish relations between classroom and online learning environments. New data analysis may help to accelerate and improve future hybrid classroom-online learning pedagogy since permanent changes are expected in the near future for many engineering programs. This study shows that students vary in their abilities to adapt to this new reality. Most prefer recorded audio clipsof PowerPoint presentations beforehand combined with online synchronous learning using video conferencing software. This suggests that effective online learning requires extra time from educators to better prepare class sessions. Furthermore, there is an important correlation between the level of student motivation and their appreciation level of online learning.
TEACHING TEAMWORK, ETHICS AND EQUITY, AND IMPACT ON SOCIETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT TO UNDERGRADUATE ENGINEERING STUDENTS: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
Authors: Grushcow Ellie L. , Sheridan Patricia K.
Published: June 2021

This paper explores the way in which three graduate attributes have been instructed on, together, in the undergraduate engineering curriculum. In particular, this paper explores how teamwork, ethics & equity, and the impact of engineering on society and the environment are taught together. These three attributes are used as a framing for engineering leadership education to explore how it has been embedded in the curriculum from a graduate attributes perspective. Following systematic literature review principles, this work explores the prevalence and motivations forincorporating these attributes in undergraduate engineering education in Washington Accord signatory countries. Findings indicate that these attributes are not frequently documented as being taught together, and are motivated equally as a design topic as a leadership/entrepreneurship topic.

Authors: Romkey Lisa , Ross Tracy , Munro Daniel
Published: June 2021

This paper represents the experience and self-reported skill development of undergraduate Science and Engineering outreach instructors, who were working primarily online during the global pandemic in 2020. This work is part of a larger multi-year project designed to articulate the learning and employability skills gained by a pan-Canadian group of undergraduates, by way of theirtraining and work experience as youth program Instructors delivering STEM outreach activities for youth. The development of these skills was measured using a post-program survey, in which undergraduate instructors were asked a number of questions about their skill development. Instructors noted development most significantly in (1) teamwork and collaboration; (2) adaptability and flexibility: (3) communication, (4) leadership, (5) innovation and creativity, and (6)initiative. A significant theme noted was the learning that took place from the sudden shift to teaching remotely and working through a pandemic. Although the focus of STEM Outreach research & evaluation is often on the impact of the program on its participants, this work demonstrates the value of the instructor experience, and how this work can leverage other post-secondary initiatives designed to prepare undergraduates for their careers.

Published: June 2021

Student stress and anxiety in engineering continues to be overwhelming, and students are asking for more support for their mental wellness. At the University of Calgary, we developed and implemented a program to provide first-year students with regular modules and reflection on their mental wellness and personal learning. This work is important to foster resiliency in engineeringstudents. At CEEA 2020, we summarized the pilot year of\ the program [17], and we now have an update on the program implementation as well as preliminary research results. We provide an overview of the importance of this kind of programming, specifically in breaking down theemotional-rational dualism that exists within engineering to support the de-stigmatization of mental health topics. We then provide an overview of the modules presented in this academic year, as well as a high level of summary of the research results from last year’s data.
Specificity of innovation in the service sector: the example of Poland
Authors: Dominiak Joanna
Published: June 2021

The discussion that has taken place in recent years on innovativeness in services is connected, on one side, with their growing role in the economy. On the other, it results from an increase in innovation as the main socio-economic development factor of countries and regions. Innovation is seen as an essential link in developing a strong economy, and its shortcomings may lead to an economic crisis. Innovations have become a new element playing a crucial role in crystallising a new economic model, particularly in developed countries. The growing role of services in the modern economy has led to an increased interest in service activities and service innovations. This paper aims to present the specificity of innovations in the service sector compared to the manufacturing industry based on Poland’s example. In the empirical analysis, data from the Central Statistical Office in Poland and EUROSTAT was used. An analysis of innovativeness in the service sector, based on traditional innovation measurement indicators, concludes that it is much lower than in the manufacturing industry. In the entire analysed period, the percentage of innovative enterprises in the service sector was lower than in the manufacturing industry by several percentage points. According to service sector type, organisation and marketing are more critical in terms of innovation. In their cases, the differences between manufacturing and services are minimal; however, it is more significant in products and processes.

The article aims to analyse the impact of terrorism in Egypt on its tourism sector. To investigate the topic and obtain an answer to the research thesis that terrorism threat affects the level of tourism in Egypt, a literature review was used, and research was carried out in the form of an online questionnaire. The concept of terrorism is defined, and its types, causes and characteristics are shown through specific examples. The research has shown that terrorist threats perceived by tourists have a significant impact on their decisions when choosing a tourist destination. It shows that 36% of the respondents checked the current political situation of the chosen destination long before the planned departure, and 55% did it shortly before leaving.
Przedsiębiorczy gracz – jak mechanizmy grywalizacji motywują do nauki uczniów w szkole średniej?
Authors: Świętoniowska Joanna
Published: June 2021

Edukatorzy wciąż poszukują metod i strategii nauczania, pozwalających zachęcić młodych ludzi do podejmowania w procesie edukacyjnym celowych i skutecznych działań, których głównym katalizatorem byłaby przede wszystkim motywacja wewnętrzna. Popularność gier komputerowych oraz ich zdolność do utrzymania zainteresowania użytkowników istotnie wpłynęły na dynamiczny rozwój i coraz szersze zastosowanie grywalizacji w dydaktyce. Celem artykułu jest prezentacja korzyści z wykorzystania metody grywalizacji w nauczaniu przedsiębiorczości na poziomie liceum ogólnokształcącego oraz wyników badań pokazujących wpływ wdrożonych mechanizmów na motywację uczniów do uczenia się i rozwijania swoich kompetencji przedsiębiorczych. W studium przypadku omówiono eksperyment z wdrożenia grywalizacji w ramach pełnego cyklu obowiązkowych zajęć z przedmiotu podstawy przedsiębiorczości, który został osadzony w konkretnym kontekście fabularnym – Galaktyce Enterprise. Na podstawie badań empirycznych przeprowadzonych wśród uczniów biorących udział w zgrywalizowanych zajęciach dokonano analizy i oceny czynników, które aktywizowały młodzież i zwiększały jej zaangażowanie. Czynniki te analizowano za pomocą modelu Octalysis Framework. Wyniki przeprowadzonego badania dowodzą, że czynnikami, które w największym stopniu wpływały na działania podejmowane przez uczniów, są: rozwój i osiąganie celów, strach przed utratą i zapobieganie, wpływ społeczny i nawiązywanie relacji, a także własność i posiadanie.

Background. This study aims to evaluate the etiology of cervical lymphadenopathies in children and to define the significance of demographic, clinical, and laboratory features in the prediction of malignancy.
Methods. Medical records of 527 patients were reviewed retrospectively between 2015 and 2019. The patients were examined in terms of demographics, clinical, radiologic, and serologic findings. A lymph node biopsy was performed in selected patients. The risk factors for malignancy were evaluated.
Results. Out of 527 children, 26 had neck masses mimicking lymphadenopathy; 501 had lymphadenopathy. The most common location was the anterior cervical region and the median age was 5.7 years. Thirty-nine patients had malignancy (lymphoma in 34, nasopharyngeal carcinoma in 3, leukemia in 1 and neuroblastoma in 1). The risk of malignancy was associated with older age, duration of > 4 weeks, lymph node size > 3 cm, supraclavicular location, presence of systemic symptoms, and hepatosplenomegaly (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001). On laboratory evaluation, anemia, leukocytosis, and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate were found to be associated with malignancy (p < 0.001, p=0.003, p < 0.001).
Conclusions. Cervical lymphadenopathies in children are generally benign but patients with persisting cervical lymphadenopathy, adolescent age, accompanying systemic symptoms and abnormal laboratory findings should be considered for an early biopsy.

Background. We aimed to establish whether knowledge of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels on day 1, as well as the change in these levels in the first three days, could be of clinical benefit in the diagnosis and/or prediction of severity of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN).
Methods. A retrospective study was conducted on 275 term infants (35 with RDS and 240 with TTN) admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit from January 2014 to June 2019. LDH levels were measured on admission and after three days.
Results. Both RDS and TTN groups had elevated LDH levels during admission. LDH levels were significantly higher in the RDS group than in the TTN group on both days. LDH levels in both groups significantly correlated with both the duration of respiratory support required, as well as the number of hospital days. We used these outcomes as a measure of severity of these conditions.
Conclusions. In patients with respiratory distress, it may not be clinically useful to use LDH levels on day 1 to differentiate between RDS and TTN, despite the statistically significant differences, because of the overlapping values. However, LDH levels on day 1 and day 3 may predict the degree and duration of the required respiratory support for both RDS and TTN groups.

Background. Fever is one of the leading causes of hospital admissions in children. Although there are many ways to measure body temperature, the optimal method and the anatomic site are still controversial. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the performance of new methods of measuring body temperature and to compare the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of these methods.
Methods. The body temperatures of the patients who were hospitalized as inpatients or who presented to the emergency room as outpatients between November 2014- March 2015 were measured and recorded. Mercury and digital axillary measurements, tympanic, temporal artery and non-contact skin temperatures were measured. Measurements were compared with each other.
Results. According to our results temperature tends to increase over time for up to 8 minutes after placement when using axillary thermometers. Non-contact skin thermometers should be used only for follow-up of patients with fever, because of their low sensitivity and low negative predictivity. At the first examination, tympanic thermometers and axillary thermometers may be preferable for the diagnosis of fever.
Conclusions. According to our results, using non-contact thermometers seems feasible and logical during the follow-up ofpatients with fever, but not in cases whose exact body temperature should be known. For the first examination of the patient to diagnose fever, tympanic thermometers and axillary thermometers may be preferable. Future studies are warranted to expose the optimum way of measuring body temperature in children.

Published: June 2021

Background. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a chronic motor neuron disease characterised by progressive weakness in striated muscles resulting from the destruction of neuronal cells. The term juvenile ALS (JALS) is used for patients whose symptoms start before 25 years of age. JALS may be sporadic or familial.
Case. Here, we present a sporadic case of JALS because of its rarity in children. The heterozygous p.Pro525Leu (c.1574C > T) variation was identified in the fused in sarcoma (FUS) gene.
Conclusion. The p.Pro525Leu mutation in the FUS gene has been detected in patients with ALS, characterised by early onset and a severely progressive course.
