Authors: Radita Fatrilia Rasyi
Published: April 2022

The waste problem is a major problem faced by almost all big cities in Indonesia. This is inseparable from the problem of urban development related to population, social, and economical aspects which has a very broad impact on human health. Whereas Islam teaches mankind to always preserve the environment and invites humans to live side by side in harmony with the natural surroundings. There are many arguments from the Qur'an and hadith that explain the preservation of the environment and the prohibition of damaging the existence of the surrounding environment. The current study is a library research. The research process was carried out by employing literature studies to collect relevant data from literature, books, and the Internet. Afterwards, the results of the study is presented in description.  The way the household waste was handled in the society was in accordance with the waste management system which begins with waste collecting, followed with waste storing and waste transporting. By emphasizing how Islam teaches all Muslim to show compassion in everything including fellow humans, nature, animals and their surrounding, as well as to remind them that damage can occur from the hands of humans themselves, therefore, it is proper for a pious Muslim to always hold fast to his faith by preventing such damage by caring for the surrounding environment.

Teacher performance can be interpreted as the results achieved by a teacher after the teacher carries out obligations based on skills, experience, duration with the output obtained looks good in terms of quantity or quality. Based on the results of interviews with several teachers, researchers. The work motivation shown by the teachers is still not optimal, it is proven that some teachers come late, at lessons 1,2 and lessons 6,7, 8 there are often no teachers teaching, sometimes they are filled with assignments that are not corrected, Some teachers have low motivation due to lack of financial rewards to meet their daily needs. From the results of interviews with the Bengkalis District Elementary School supervisors, information was obtained that the supervision carried out by the principal as a leader, the impact of the low frequency of supervision carried out by the principal and not being sustainable was the presence of teachers who carried out the learning process in a less professional manner. The research approach used in this research is to use ex post facto research, namely after the fact, by taking data by survey. 1) There is a positive and significant influence between work motivation on teacher performance. The higher the work motivation given, the higher the teacher's performance. 2) There is a positive and significant influence between the variables of Academic Supervision on Teacher Performance at SDN Rupat District. The higher the level of leadership that the principal has, the higher the level of performance that the teacher has. 3) There is a jointly significant influence between the variables of Work Motivation and Academic Supervision on Performance at SDN Rupat District. The higher the work motivation and academic supervision owned by the principal, the higher the level of performance possessed by the teacher assuming permanent work motivation.

Memristive crossbar circuit for neural network and its application in digit recognition
Authors: Wan Xiang , He Nan , Liang Dingkang , Xu Wei , Wang Lei , Lian Xiaojuan , Liu Xiaoyan , Xu Feng , Tong Yi
Published: April 2022

A neural network fully implemented by memristive crossbar circuit is proposed and simulated, which can operate in parallel for the entire process. During the forward propagation, memristors in crossbar structure and a column of fixed-value resistors implement multiply-add operations. During the backward training, each memristor is tuned in conductance independently by training pulses, which implements weight/bias updating. A high recognition accuracy of 93.65% for hand-written numbers is achieved, which is comparable to that for software solution. The effects of the number of conductance states and the amplification of synaptic array circuit on the recognition accuracy are also investigated.
Methods of controlling operation modes in Pt/TaO

/Ta2O5/Pt resistive switching cells
Authors: Miyatani Toshiki , Nishi Yusuke , Kimoto Tsunenobu
Published: April 2022

Forming and resistive switching (RS) characteristics of Pt/TaO
x
/Ta2O5/Pt cells were investigated when the TaO
x
thickness was varied. With an increase in the TaO
x
thickness, a semi-forming process, which is defined as a transition from an initial state to high resistance states more than 1 kΩ, occurs more frequently. The semi-forming can be understood as the formation of an incomplete filament with a gap or a constricted part in the Ta2O5 layer. Moreover, in a single cell after the semi-forming, selective control of RS operation modes was achieved by simply adjusting the range of the applied voltage. In a complementary RS mode where both set and subsequent reset processes occur at both positive and negative voltages, analog RS characteristics can be observed. The control of the RS operation modes could be useful for the improvement of the multi-leveled controllability of resistance.

Published: April 2022

In this paper a system is designed and implemented to predict the price of second-hand housing. This system based on Lambda architecture can execute prediction in both real-time and batch modes so it can give two kinds of different price predictions that reflect current and historical conditions respectively. The kNN related algorithms are used for price prediction. By comparing the performance of brute kNN, kd tree and ball tree, kd tree is selected as the price prediction model of the system. In system implementation the kd tree model is chosen to predict prices in both real-time and batch services. The kd tree model can also recommend housings to user besides price prediction. The experiment shows the effectiveness of our system. Time and space performance of brute kNN, kd tree and ball tree are compared by experiments. And the evaluation metrics of other available maching learning models are compared. The reason of choosing the kd tree model is also explained by the experimental results.
Japanese shōjin ryōri: the green competition from Buddhist temples to TV shows
Authors: Ghidini Chiara
Published: April 2022

Registered in 2013 by the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as Intangible Cultural Heritage, washoku, the “traditional dietary cultures of the Japanese,” includes the so-called shōjin ryōri, an expression dated to the early modern period and related to the Buddhist avoidance of meat eating. Since its early appearance, shōjin ryōri has undergone a variety of changes, and its evolution up to contemporary times is relevant to Japan’s cultural history.  Traditionally, vegetables (sōjimono) were not thought of as precious or tasty ingredients. However, during the Kamakura period (1185–1333), the introduction of vegetarian dishes made to resemble fish and fowl, both in shape and flavor -- the so-called modoki ryōri-- attracted people's attention, contributing to the spread within Kyoto and the Japanese archipelago of a tastier and aesthetically pleasing Buddhist vegetarian cuisine. Throughout the 15th century local specialties and banquet cooking culture were extremely important: mountain products were generally still deemed inferior compared to sea and river ones, but in a text belonging to the irui gassen mono genre, the Shōjin gyorui monogatari, the reader witnesses the triumph of vegetables over the army of fish and animals. During the Meiji era (1868–1912), Buddhist vegetarianism faced the rise of a different culinary culture, whereby eating (beef) meat turned into a symbol for physical strength, both the individual one of young male citizens and the collective one of Japan as a new-born nation. Even part of the Buddhist clergy chose to embrace the meat-eating culture. Today, shōjin ryōri coexists with vegetarian choices based on different theoretical tenets and is promoted by NHK Television within programs designed for a global audience and aimed to advocate the Cool Japan strategy as well as in TV shows like Yamato amadera shōjin nikki, focused on the everyday (cooking) life of Buddhist nuns in a secluded temple within Nara prefecture. While encouraging local (and Buddhist) vegetarian food literacy, this program also fulfills the government agenda in terms of rural rejuvenation policies and the promotion of washoku (which includes shōjin ryōri) as a brand to be popularized both within and outside Japan.
村上春樹作品における〈 〉と〈性〉–　初期作品と阪神淡 大 地 以後の作品との比 を して / “Food” and “Sex” in Murakami Haruki’s literature
Authors: Yamasaki Makiko
Published: April 2022

Murakami’s early writings are littered with names of various foods and dishes. Often appearing in the context of descriptions of dates with girlfriends or lovers, they in turn become associated with sexual interactions. However, they are not the sorts of dishes one expects to see in a conventional Japanese household. They are almost invariably foreign dishes or mere accompaniments for drinks. Whilst the famines of wartime and postwar Japan did much to disrupt traditional household diets, Murakami’s predilection for foreign cuisine distances his writings even further from Japanese territory. This tendency is particularly evident in his early works.As has been well documented, following his eight-year sojourn abroad, the Great Hanshin Earthquake of January 1995, and the sarin gas attacks by the Aum Shinrikyo on the 20th of March that same year, Murakami’s perspective shifted from one of ‘detachment’ to one of ‘commitment’. However, an examination of food-related passages—and the sexual interactions that often follow—reveals a different picture. Despite Murakami’s shift to ‘commitment’, these scenes consistently depict a self-contained protagonist who makes no effort to allow women entry into his inner life. The protagonist is either unwilling or unable to comprehend the woman-as-other, a stance that I argue persists until the 2010’s. Accordingly, this paper will examine juxtapositions of food and sex from Murakami’s earliest works to Onna no inai otokotatchi (Men Without Women, 2014) and Kishidanchōgoroshi (Killing Commendatore, 2017).
Eat to remember. Gastronomical reconfigurations of hunger and imprisonment in contemporary Chinese literature
Authors: De Marchi Serena
Published: April 2022

During the famine that befell China following the disaster of the Great Leap Forward, hunger was a major affliction for the individuals undergoing reform in the labor camps. Food – in terms of procurement, consumption, or just discursive recollection – was a central issue in the prisoners’ lives and, as a consequence, descriptions of meals and eating practices are a recurring presence in modern Chinese literary texts that revolve around carceral experiences. This contribution investigates three literary works that reconstruct personal experiences of imprisonment by way of eating: Wang Ruowang’s Hunger Trilogy (1980), Zhang Xianliang’s Mimosa (1984), and Yang Xianhui’s Chronicles of Jiabiangou (2003). In these texts, food becomes a privileged perspective through which look at how personal and collective memories are re-appropriated and re-elaborated, as well as to analyze how narratives of the past are consumed and produced.
Looking at China’s cultural complexity. Food, colours and ritual: sensuous epistemology and the construction of identity in the “other” China
Authors: Turini Cristiana
Published: April 2022

Studies on ethnic and cultural diversity within China have progressively eroded the far too simplistic and widespread idea of ​​the Chinese nation as a monolith. In the resulting multicultural internal context, food is definitely more than a necessity for survival and can signify the desire of a community to stabilize a fluid and multiple identity. At the same time, it can be seen also as an indication of the multitude of relationships that the individual forms not only with others as individuals, but even as spirits, gods, and demons. The aim of this contribution is to explore some of the complexity of foodways involving consumption and religion and to understand the extent to which religious uses of foods contribute to the forging and transmission of cultural identity. I will do this by referring to the Naxi people of the Lijiang area as my case-study. My analysis will also take into account how, through the exploration of the Naxi religious foodways and cosmology, it is possible to gain an insight into their culturally different balances of the senses and their sensuous epistemology. This study will be based mainly on Naxi ritual manuscripts and videos of ceremonies, collected and made during my fieldwork in Yunnan.

Authors: Kim Jin-Ho , Oh Hye Jin , Kim Sang Yong , Suh Gang Uk
Published: April 2022

Veronica dahurica Steven (family Scrophulariaceae) is an ornamental plant from Korea. The aim of the present study was to produce multiple-branched plants by using 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) spray application at several time intervals after pinching. All 10 cm long plants were sprayed with 0, 500, 1000, and 2000 mg·L-1 BA at 0, 7, and 14 days after pinching. Growth characteristics were examined 10 weeks after pinching and flowering time was recorded. The number of branches was highest in the group sprayed with 1000 mg·L-1 BA at 0 d after pinching. The greatest plant height was observed in the group treated with 1000 mg·L-1 BA 14 d after pinching and the minimum plant height was observed in the group sprayed with 500 mg·L-1 BA at 0 d after pinching. The groups sprayed with higher BA concentrations and with longer intervals between pinching and spraying showed greater delay in the time to first flower. The flower length was decreased in the pinched and BA-treated group compared with the control. Thus, BA application and pinching could promote multiple branch induction and control flowering time in V. dahurica Steven.

The use of innovative pedagogical technologies in training of socio-cultural profile journalism students
Authors: Kulykova Olena
Published: April 2022

The article considers aspects of the application of innovative pedagogical technologies in the training of future journalists of socio-cultural profile, while studying the course "History of Journalism". The method of its teaching involves conducting classes using both traditional (lectures, talks) and active innovative teaching methods (discussions, debates, brainstorming, debates, trainings, excursions to editorial offices, radio and television studios, project training, etc.).
Innovative methods of teaching the discipline are considered in detail, which include: means of organizational and educational activities; introduction of modern pedagogical technologies; increasing the level of motivation to study; use of audiovisual teaching aids and computer technologies, etc.
As most modern students have grown up in a screen culture, are visuals and actively use modern technology, teaching in the format of classical lectures and seminars loses its effectiveness. Thus, the main focus is on the process of organizing interactive learning using multimedia information visualization technologies, which contributes to the generalization and analysis of theory and practice.
The influence of innovative pedagogical technologies on the formation of professional competencies, skills and abilities of students is analyzed. It is concluded that the introduction of innovative pedagogical technologies in the teaching of the discipline "History of Journalism" helps to increase the efficiency of classes, the formation of communication skills and abilities, gaining experience of interactive activities, dialogic interaction and creative confidence.
Kyiv in the first year of the capital status in the USSR: attempt of multiple aspect analysis
Authors: Doiar Larуsa
Published: April 2022

The presented article raises the issue of moving the capital of Soviet Ukraine from the city of Kharkiv to the city of Kyiv. The events of 1934 are considered in the context of the urban development of Kyiv, the development of its infrastructure, housing, socio-cultural buildings and more. Using the materials of the republican periodicals of that time, in particular, the annual notebook of the magazine "Socialist Kyiv", the author analyzes the features of the master plan 1934 for the construction of the new Soviet capital and examines the chronicle of the reconstruction of the ancient city. Based on the studied sources and literature, the author claims that the development of the second capital of the USSR took place simultaneously in several directions, namely: the growth of Kyiv's industrial potential by building new enterprises and strengthening its proletarian fund; construction of status facilities of the capital (buildings of government institutions, various premises of all-Ukrainian purpose, cultural and sports halls, etc.); development of the housing complex and renewal of the city's communal services; construction of educational and medical institutions; formation of a public transport network; solving the problem of sanitary safety of the city; use of natural resources of the region for the development of resort facilities, park recreation, recreation areas of the capital's residents, the organization of domestic and foreign tourism. The exploration used articles by the then state and party leaders of the USSR, Ukrainian architects, engineers, and scientists. The latter argue that the relocation of the capital to Kyiv started a new page in the history of Ukraine.
Books from library of Khv. Vovk with autographs, expliers and gifting inscriptions in the collection of books of the National Museum of the History of Ukraine
Authors: Popelnytska Olena
Published: April 2022

The library of the National Museum of the History of Ukraine (NMHU) contains printed editions originating from the book collection of Khvedir (Teodor) Vovk (Volkov). The affiliation of these editions to the said book collection is evidenced by the presence of proprietary autographs, gift inscriptions, bookplates and stamps of Khvedir Vovk's library. Analyzing the range of books allows you to find out the range of scientific contacts and interests of the library owner.
Оwn library Khvedir Vovk began collecting in Paris, where he lived and worked in 1887—1905. In 1905 he moved his book collection to St. Petersburg. Аccording to the testament, the Khvedir Vovk's library in 1920 entered to the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. In 1921 on the basis of this book collection at the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology named after Khvedir Vovk was founded the Library.
It is probable, that the first books from the Khvedir Vovk's library in 1934 entered to the book collection of the Central Historical Museum of Ukraine (predecessor of NMHU), after the disbandment of the Cabinet (former Museum) of Anthropology and Ethnology named after Khvedir Vovk.
The modern book collection of the NMHU contains French-language and Russian-language books, representing the products of the printing houses of Amsterdam, Paris, Lyon and St. Petersburg of 1725—1821. These are quite rare publications on the history of Ukraine, in particular the Cossacks, and the ethnography of the peoples of the world. They marked with bookplates and proprietary autographs of Khvedir Vovk or prints of the stamp of the Library of the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology named after Khvedir Vovk.
The range of these antique books determines certain aspects of scientific interests of Khvedir Vovk. Books with gift inscriptions to Khvedir Vovk determine the range of scientific and private contacts of Khvedir Vovk with colleagues and friends, in particular representatives of the St. Petersburg's Ukrainian diaspora.

Authors: Haider I. R. M. Sazzad , Haque Tayeba , Rahman Mizanur
Published: April 2022

Background: Good postoperative analgesia helps to reduce postoperative stress response, improve patient satisfaction, and improve outcome. Epidural block with local anaesthetic with or without additives is being used for perioperative analgesia. Various additives have been used to enhance the effect of regional blocks including epidural blocks. Objective: To assess the postoperative analgesia in patients single shot epidural dexamethasone to bupivacaine undergoing lower abdominal surgeries. Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, double blind study carried out at the Dept. of Anesthesia, Sheikh Russel National Gastroliver institute and hospital, Mohakhali, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July to December 2021. One hundred (100) adults patients of ASA physical status I and II of age Group 16-65 years and undergoing routine elective lower abdominal surgery. The patients were randomized into two groups. Group A received 9ml of 0.5% bupivacaine plain with 1 ml of normal saline. Group B received 9ml of 0.5% bupivacaine plain 9 ml with 1 ml of dexamethasone (4mg). After standard balanced anaesthesia technique, patients were observed in postoperative period for pain and hemodynamic variables accordingly. Results: In our study 100 patients belonging to ASA physical status I and II undergoing lower abdominal surgery under general anaesthesia were studied. The patient’s age ranged from 16 to 65 years. Our study showed significantly longer duration of analgesia of 8 hours when dexamethasone was added to bupivacaine for single shot epidural injection compared to four and half hours when bupivacaine alone was used (p<0.001). Consumption of rescue analgesic, Tramadol, was significantly lower in dexamethasone group in 24 hours (168.32±49.72 mg in Group A and 113.72±60.57mg in Group B, p<0.001). No adverse events were noted. The both groups the lowest blood pressure was observed at ½ hours following the block and highest at 6 hours. While comparing the two groups at 6 hours the blood pressure in Group B (120.56±12.06) was significantly less than that in Group A (125.90±9.54) (p=0.024). No significant difference was observed at ½ hours, 12 hours and 24 hours after the block. Conclusion: In conclusion, the quality of analgesia it offers not only in post-operative pain but also in labour analgesia and chronic pain management. Addition of dexamethasone to bupivacaine for single shot epidural block almost doubled the duration of analgesia. Single shot epidural block using bupivacaine with addition of dexamethasone provides effective post-operative analgesia and significantly reduced the postoperative rescue analgesic requirement.

Published: April 2022

Ectopic pregnancies are rare and represent about 2% of all pregnancies. Unilateral ectopic twin pregnancy is even rarer as it represents only 0.5% of all ectopic pregnancies, with an estimated incidence of 1 in 20 000. It shares the same risk factors as ectopic pregnancies in general (smoking, pelvic infection, history of EP, maternal age, uses of assisted reproduction techniques, etc.). The most common site of implantation is the fallopian tube. Clinically, it presents with the classic triad of symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, namely pelvic pain, metrorrhagia and the notion of amenorrhea. The usual strategy for diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, including ectopic twin pregnancy, relies mainly on quantitative beta-HCG level and endo-vaginal ultrasound. We report a case of ectopic twin pregnancy, in a 24-year-old primiparous patient with a history of upper genital infection 2 years ago and whose treatment was a left salpingectomy.

Infertility is a growing issue that is encountered today with couples today around the globe. Different microbial floras are active in promoting infertility causing infections. Usually bacteria affects only males, only females or both males and females. Their modes of actions are different in affecting the human ability to reproduce offspring. Disturbance in natural microbial flora may result in serious urogenital tract impairment. These infections may be acquired after sexual contact or due to unhygienic practice. Sometimes people often face infertility due to sudden exposure of exogenous microbial pathogens either of gram-positive or gram-negative origin. The infectious sites include different organs of genital tract irrespective of gender. Cases of infertility due to microbial exposure are mostly reported from Africa, Middle East, South Asia, Central Asia and Central Eastern Europe. Though different strategic measures are taken to deal with these infertility complications still more low cost remedies and programed general public awareness is required.

Job satisfaction is considered one of the most important parameters in measuring the performance of the employees. In this study, the researcher has discussed different factors that lead to dissatisfaction among expat nurses working in the Saudi healthcare sector, and has used positivism philosophy. Different survey instruments were used to collect primary data for this study: and the JSS (quantitative component). Firstly, nurses were provided with a self-administrated JSS. The JSS was developed to analyse nine job satisfaction scales, each containing four subscales. The reliability coefficient for descriptive statistics was computed at 0.84, above the threshold mark of 0.70. T-tests were used in this research. During the study, it was observed that out of the 100 married participants, 43 were at the position of Charge nurse and only one of them was working as a director in the organisation. The researcher conducted t-tests to identify the factors that lead to job dissatisfaction among the expats at Hali’s public hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Herein it was observed that very few chances of getting a promotion were of the main causes of job dissatisfaction among the expat nurses. Here the p-value was 0.00, lower than the threshold requirement of 0.05. In conclusion, the chances of getting a promotion were very less due to the fact that they were not native to the country. Also, nurses were not happy with the benefits that they receive in the organisation. That is, expats do not get too many benefits in the host nations.

This study examines a short-term study abroad program in Costa Rica. The goals of the study are to (1) investigate the link between high impact learning practices (HIPs) and program learning outcomes and (2) capture the relation between program structure, program facilitation, and student learning networks. The methodology includes ethnographic observations, student interviews, and social network analysis. The implementation of three HIPs in the program (applied learning, project-based, and cultural-learning) drives the change in student network structure. The article places scholarly attention on how HIPs incorporated into the program structure influence changes in student learning and support networks as well as influence student reported learning outcomes.
 
Abstract in Spanish
Este estudio examina un curso a corto plazo en el extranjero que se llevó a cabo en Costa Rica. Los objetivos del estudio son (1) investigar el vínculo entre las prácticas de aprendizaje de alto impacto (denominado en inglés HIP) y los resultados del aprendizaje del curso y (2) capturar la relación entre la estructura del curso, la facilitación del mismo, y las redes de aprendizaje de los estudiantes. La metodología incluye observaciones etnográficas, entrevistas con estudiantes, y análisis de redes sociales. La implementación de tres HIPs en el curso (aprendizaje aplicado, proyectos, y aprendizaje cultural) influye en el cambio en la estructura de la red social de los estudiantes. El artículo enfatiza cómo las prácticas de aprendizaje de alto impacto, incorporadas en la estructura del curso, influyen en los cambios en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes y en las redes de apoyo, así como en los resultados de aprendizaje reportados por los estudiantes.

Beras merupakan salah satu komoditas pangan yang sangat penting di Indonesia. Banyaknya eksistensi penggilingan padi di Indonesia membuat persaingan usaha penggilngan padi menjadi tinggi, sehingga mutu dan kualitas beras sangat menjadi acuan utama dalam usaha untuk memenangkan persaingan. Pemahaman terhadap standar mutu pengolahan beras harus dipahami khususnya bagi pelaksana usaha penggilingan padi, sehingga hasil produk lebih dapat bersaing di pasar. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat tingkat penerapan GHP dan GMP di penggilingan padi kecil (PPK X). Berdasarkan hasil rekapitulasi data tabulasi terkait penerapan GHP dan GMP pada responden didapat sebesar 53,8 % untuk tingkat kesesuaian penerapan GMP sedangkan, tingkat kesesuaian penerapan GHP sebesar 58,33 %. Angka ini dapat merepresentasikan bagaimana PPK X belum optimal dalam upaya penjaminan mutu beras. Rendahnya penerapan GHP dan GMP di PPK X disebabkan beberapa faktor yaitu belum adanya sosialisasi yang menyeluruh kepada pekerja mengenai pentingnya penerapan GHP di lingkungan penggilingan padi untuk meningkatkan mutu beras hasil panen, adanya keterbatasan pendanaan dan sumber daya terutama untuk menerapkan GHP dan GMP yang baik.
