Authors: Kurnia Cahya Mukti Dwi , Raharja Edy , Sugiarto Yohanes
Published: August 2019

The objectives of this paper is to investigate factors that affecting SMEs performance. Particularly, our study examined the effect of entrepreneurial orientation, adaptability to external environment, and competitive advantage to SMEs performance. We also test the effect of entrepreneurial orientation and adaptability to external environment on SMEs competitive advantage. Results of structural equation modeling on 100 SMEs in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia, suggested that entrepreneurial orientation and competitive advantage has a positive effect on SMEs business performance. However, our prediction that adaptability to external environment positively affect SMEs performance was not supported. Furthermore, our study also found that entrepreneurial orientation and adaptability to external environment positively affect SMEs competitive advantage.
Histopathological features of patients with chronic granulomatous disease
Authors: Kashani Paria , Chen Haiying
Published: August 2019

Introduction: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency caused by defects in the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase complex. Affected patients suffer recurrent life-threatening infections due to phagocyte dysfunction and dysregulation of the immune system. Histopathological assessment is important to help identify the extent and severity of infection and tissue injury.

Aim: We present pathological findings in 5 patients with CGD who were followed at our centre.

Methods: Patient information was reviewed retrospectively in accordance with local institutional guidelines. All patients had confirmed diagnosis of CGD with mutation in one of the 5 subunits of the NADPH oxidase.

Results: Histopathological features of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and spleen are noted, and include the presence of granulomatous inflammation and pigmented macrophages.

Discussion: It is essential for clinicians to keep primary immunodeficiency as one of the differential diagnoses in patients with severe infection or inflammation, whether in the absence or presence of granuloma formation. The detection of PAS-positive macrophages, diffuse granulomatous inflammation, and hepatic abscesses should raise strong suspicion of CGD.

Statement of novelty: We describe the histopathological findings of a paediatric cohort of patients with CGD.
Interpreting clinical and laboratory tests: importance and implications of context
Authors: Charney Alan N. , Dourmashkin Jordan T.
Published: August 2019

Clinical and laboratory tests in clinical medicine include a range of measurements that may be categorized as “normal range” tests, positive or negative tests, or contextual tests. Normal range test results are quantitative and are compared to a reference interval or range provided by the laboratory. Positive or negative tests are also quantitative tests and characteristically have a cutoff value that specifies the result. Contextual tests require a context, a physiological condition, to correctly interpret the result. A closer examination of reference intervals suggests that these also are contextual. The fact that there is a range of apparently normal values indicates the presence of cultural, biological, physiological and behavioral diversity in the population sampled to determine normality. As such, the reference interval describes the population from which it was determined and may have utility in this regard.

1D α-hematite nanorods synthesized by a simple, scalable and novel green chemistry method exhibit fast kinetics of the interfacial Faradaic redox reaction yielding a specific capacitance of 140 F·g−1 when used as a battery-type electrode in a supercapacitor. Ample supply and environmental compatibility of the raw material suggest the use of this material. Insufficient stability suggest further investigations.
Analysis of the preparatory phase of a construction investment in the area covered by revitalization
Authors: Radziejowska Aleksandra , Sagan Joanna
Published: August 2019

The issue of preparing a construction project, especially in the area covered by revitalisation, requires a comprehensive approach and, above all, a multifaceted analysis of the conditions during the programming and planning of the investment. Currently, the majority of investments carried out in the areas covered by the Revitalisation Programme are carried out by public entities, which results from a number of possible risks of failure of the project.

The article presents possible scenarios of administrative proceedings related to planning the implementation of an investment located in the areas covered by the Revitalization Program based on the requirements of legal regulations. A list and the amount of co-financing for the investments carried out so far located in revitalised areas were also presented. Finally, an exemplary SWOT matrix for a private sector investor was proposed, which may support him in the decision to undertake a project in the area covered by the Revitalisation Programme.
Linguistic identity among new speakers of Basque
Authors: Ortega Ane , Urla Jacqueline , Amorrortu Estibaliz , Goirigolzarri Jone , Uranga Belen
Published: August 2019

The increase in Basque speakers in the last 30 years has been due in large part to ‘new speakers’ or euskaldunberri, a term that will be used here to refer to those who have learned the language by means other than family transmission. While very significant in numbers, to date this group has not been the object of much study. Little is known about their attitudes and motivations, how they perceive themselves as Basque speakers, or their language use and transmission patterns. Acquiring answers to these questions is of strategic importance for developing an effective evidence-based language policy for the future. This article presents the results of a qualitative study of new speakers. Drawing on data from focus groups and interviews, the central goal of the article is to examine how new speakers of differing profiles perceive and locate themselves with respect to the popularly used labels for “new” and “native” Basque speakers and the ideologies of authenticity and legitimacy that seem to shape these perceptions. The analysis shows that learning the language alone, even to a high degree of competence, does not guarantee a view of themselves as true and genuine speakers of Basque.
1-(2-Aminoethyl)-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium tetrafluoroborate: synthesis and application in carbohydrate analysis
Authors: Zhang Yao Y. , Senan Ahmed M. , Wang Ting , Liu Li , Voglmeir Josef
Published: August 2019

Reductive alkylation of the carbonyl group of carbohydrates with fluorescence or ionizing labels is a prerequisite for the sensitive analysis of carbohydrates by chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques. Herein, 1-(2-aminoethyl)-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium tetrafluoroborate ([MIEA][BF4]) was successfully synthesized using tert-butyl N-(2-bromoethyl)carbamate and N-methylimidazole as starting materials. MIEA+ was then investigated as a multifunctional oligosaccharide label for glycan profiling and identification using LC-ESI-ToF and by MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry. The reductive amination of this diazole with carbohydrates was exemplified by labeling N-glycans from the model glycoproteins horseradish peroxidase, RNase B, and bovine lactoferrin. The produced MIEA+ glycan profiles were comparable to the corresponding 2AB labeled glycan derivatives and showed improved ESI-MS ionization efficiency over the respective 2AB derivatives, with detection sensitivity in the low picomol to the high femtomol range.

Published: August 2019

Timely dissemination of results from clinical studies is crucial for the advancement of knowledge and clinical decision making. A large body of research has shown that up to half of clinical trials do not publish their findings. In this study, we sought to determine whether clinical trial publication rates within neurology have increased over time. Focusing on neurology clinical trials completed between 2008 to 2014, we found that while the overall percentage of published trials has not changed (remaining at approximately 50%), time to publication has significantly decreased. Our findings suggest that clinical trials within neurology are being published in a more timely manner.
A Miniaturized Testing Apparatus to Study the Chemo-Mechanics of Porous Media
Authors: Cil Mehmet B. , Schabelski Jay , Packman Aaron I. , Buscarnera Giuseppe
Published: August 2019

Understanding coupled processes in subsurface systems is critical to assessing and predicting the long-term impacts of natural phenomena, underground industrial activities, and geoengineering. Here, we discuss the capabilities of a new miniaturized chemo-mechanical testing device that allows for concurrent reactive transport, mechanical loading, and microstructural imaging. The apparatus enables a range of combined deformation/flow tests to be performed simultaneously or sequentially. In addition, the device enables controlling reactant mixing, flow rate, and boundary conditions, which is useful to identify key factors in flow-through precipitation and dissolution experiments in porous media. Results of precipitation, oedometric compression, and dissolution tests are presented along with concurrent microstructural analyses based on synchrotron X-ray microtomography imaging. High-resolution 3-D images of evolving microstructural features allow explicit quantification of pore structure changes. The results illustrate the efficiency and versatility of the new multifunctional testing device and emphasize the benefits of quantifying the outcomes of coupled chemo-mechanical processes at pore scale, which is essential to develop and validate multiscale transport-reaction-deformation models.
Comparative Evaluation of Moisture Susceptibility Test Methods for Routine Usage in Asphalt Mixture Design
Authors: DeCarlo Christopher , Dave Eshan V. , Sias Jo E. , Airey Gordon , Mallick Rajib
Published: August 2019

Asphalt materials experience substantial amounts of environmental damage throughout their lives as surface layers in pavements. One of the most prominent forms of environmental damage, moisture-induced damage, is caused by the weakening of internal bonds of the material because of the presence of moisture in the voids of asphalt mixtures and is a common problem for asphalt pavements in wet climates. Moisture-induced damage is typically accounted for during asphalt mixture design by conducting performance tests to ensure the material is not susceptible to severe damage from moisture, although many of these methods have seen mixed amounts of success historically. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the ability of multiple asphalt mixture moisture susceptibility tests to identify good and poor performing mixtures with respect to moisture-induced damage to replace current mix design testing requirements. Ten plant-produced hot mix asphalt materials with established good and poor field moisture performance were subjected to various moisture susceptibility test methods. The results from these procedures are assessed to determine which procedure is most effective and practical as a moisture susceptibility test for routine usage during asphalt mixture design for transportation agencies. Results from this study suggest that performance tests with stiffness-based measurements, such as dynamic modulus paired with moisture conditioning and the saturated aging tensile stiffness procedure, show better correlation to field performance than traditional test methods such as AASHTO T-283, Standard Method of Test for Resistance of Compacted Asphalt Mixtures to Moisture-Induced Damage, and that the Hamburg wheel tracker test is the most effective and practical test method to reliably identify mixtures prone to experiencing moisture-induced damage.
Die awarisch-italischen Beziehungen aus goldschmiedetechnischer Sicht: Ein Vorbericht
Authors: Bühler Birgit
Published: August 2019

The technological choices made in the production process of a particular object can provide valuable clues regarding the identity and background of the goldsmith who made it. For example, true repoussé ("Treibziseliertechnik") was an uncommon technique throughout the entire Avar Period, although it occurs on a number of high-quality items of metalwork, which may be associated - for typological, stylistic and/or technological reasons - with "Byzantine" culture. Although the importance of connections between "Byzantine" and "Avar" culture is already well known, the mechanisms of cultural and technological transfer, as well as the regions where such transfer took place, are not yet clear. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate, with the help of two case studies, how a combination of technological criteria with an innovative, detailed typology of plant ornament may contribute to resolving these questions. The results of this preliminary study suggest that "Italo-Byzantine" workshop traditions may have played an important role in this context.

Connecting Language to Images: A Progressive Attention-Guided Network for Simultaneous Image Captioning and Language Grounding
Authors: Song Lingyun , Liu Jun , Qian Buyue , Chen Yihe
Published: August 2019

Image captioning and visual language grounding are two important tasks for image understanding, but are seldom considered together. In this paper, we propose a Progressive Attention-Guided Network (PAGNet), which simultaneously generates image captions and predicts bounding boxes for caption words. PAGNet mainly has two distinctive properties: i) It can progressively refine the predictive results of image captioning, by updating the attention map with the predicted bounding boxes. ii) It learns bounding boxes of the words using a weakly supervised strategy, which combines the frameworks of Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) and Markov Decision Process (MDP). By using the attention map generated in the captioning process, PAGNet significantly reduces the search space of the MDP. We conduct experiments on benchmark datasets to demonstrate the effectiveness of PAGNet and results show that PAGNet achieves the best performance.

GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Bu çalışma, medikal tedavi verilen ektopik gebeliklerde başlangıç B-hCG değeri ve 4.gün B-hCG değerindeki değişikliğe göre başarı durumunu öngörmeyi amaçlamıştır.YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Çalışmada 2009-2017 yılları arasında Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kırdar Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde tek doz methotrexate ile tedavi edilen ektopik gebeler retrospektif olarak incelendi. Çalışmaya uygun 183 hasta araştırmaya alındıBULGULAR: Araştırmamızda, hastaların %77,6’sı(142/183) ilk doz MTX ile tedavi edilirken, 2.doz MTX yapılıp başarılı olan hastalar da eklendiğinde toplam başarı oranı %91,8( 168/183) bulunmuştur. Başlangıç değerlerine baktığımızda ise B-hCG<2000 olan hastaların ilk doz MTX ile daha yüksek oranda (%89,47) başarılı olduğu, ek doz MTX gereken hastaları da dikkate aldığımızda ise başlangıç B-hCG <4000 olan hastaların %95,95’inin başarılı olduğu bulunmuştur. Hastaların 4.gün B-hCG değişikliğine bakıldığında ise %10 ve üzerinde düşme olan hastaların %94,6’sı başarılı olurken, %10 altında düşme olanlarda da %48,6’sında başarılı olduğu görülmüştür.TARTIŞMA ve SONUÇ: Başlangıç B-hCG değeri arttıkça MTX ile başarı oranı azalmasına rağmen B-hCG >5000 değerlerdeki hastalarda bile %72 gibi başarı olduğu unutulmamalı ve kontrendikasyon olmayan hastalarda öncelikle MTX tedavisi denenmelidir. Hastaların 4. Gün B-hCG değerindeki %10 ve üzerindeki düşme başarı durumunu öngörme konusunda etkili olmasına rağmen negatif prediktif değerinin %48,6 olması başarı durumunu öngörme konusunda dezavantajını oluşturmaktadır.

Published: August 2019

Con base en la fisonomía y en un análisis de clasificación de 90 parcelas (14 en pradera y pastizal, 35 en matorral, 38 en bosque y 3 en vegetación secundaria) se clasificó la vegetación de Isla Socorro. Además de las agrupaciones de halófitos costeros existen elementos que permiten distinguir ocho asociaciones vegetales primarias: matorral de Conocarpus , pastizal, pradera, matorral de Croton masonii , matorral de Pteridum-Dodonaea , bosque tropical caducifolio, bosque tropical perennifolio y bosque mesófilo de montaña. El análisis reveló que el pastizal y la pradera de la isla se pueden diferenciar en unidades florísticas asociadas a la altitud y el bosque tropical perennifolio se puede diferenciar en tres unidades dependiendo de la especie arbórea dominante. El análisis desarrollado resuelve las divergencias de las clasificaciones de la vegetación de Isla Socorro previas y sugiere que algunos matorrales, antes catalogados como tipos de vegetación específicos, pueden ser en realidad etapas sucesionales del bosque mesófilo. La clasificación presentada representa una herramienta de apoyo para estudios futuros de la flora y fauna de esta región insular.
Diferenciación florística en afloramientos calizos del sur de México y el centro de Brasil: un enfoque de diversidad beta

Published: August 2019

Estudiamos el arreglo espacial de la diversidad florística en dos sistemas de afloramientos de roca caliza localizados en dos sitios neotropicales distantes entre sí: la región de Nizanda (sur de México) y el valle del río Paranã (centro de Brasil). Los objetivos fueron analizar si la zonificación de la vegetación de estos dos sistemas era similar y explorar los efectos relativos de la distancia y de un gradiente ambiental sobre las diversidades ?, ? y ?. Los afloramientos calcáreos en ambos sitios son similares en tamaño y altitud, pero las distancias entre ellos difieren fuertemente entre las dos regiones por un orden de magnitud. En cada sitio seleccionamos tres afloramientos distintos y en cada uno de ellos distinguimos tres comunidades vegetales ubicadas a lo largo de un gradiente edáfico (un matorral xerófilo y dos tipos de bosque tropical, uno de ellos con un carácter más xérico que el otro), y las muestreamos usando parcelas de 100 m2 para estimar variables estructurales y conocer su composición florística. En ambos sitios las variables estructurales respondieron de manera similar al gradiente edáfico. La densidad de especies fue mayor en Nizanda tanto para la diversidad ? como para la ?, pero la diversidad ? más grande se obtuvo en Paranã. El gradiente edáfico produjo valores promedio de diversidad ? mayores que los asociados al simple efecto de distancia, pero la interacción de ambas variables generó una diversidad ? aún mayor. Los análisis de clasificación por sitio mostraron que la similitud florística es mayor entre las comunidades xerófilas que entre éstas y los bosques más mésicos. El arreglo espacial de la diversidad mostró que tanto la diversidad ? como la ? fueron menores en las comunidades xerófilas. Los resultados apoyan nuestra hipótesis de que los cambios más extremos en la fisonomía de estas comunidades están asociados con los valores más grandes de diversidad ?.

Published: August 2019

La composición, diversidad, estructura y microclima fueron comparadas en dos tipos de bordes de bosque mesófilo de montaña (BMM) en la Sierra de Manantlán (Jalisco, México), uno con borde suave (B-B, contiguo a bosque de pino-encino) y otro con borde abrupto (B-M, contiguo a matorral secundario). Se establecieron 9 parcelas permanentes (n=5 en B-B y 4= en B-M) perpendiculares al borde. El BMM presentó mayor riqueza (126 especies, de estas 52 exclusivas al interior) que el bosque de pino (84) y los matorrales (71). La riqueza y diversidad fueron similares en B-B, pero el reemplazo de especies fue mayor en B-M. La densidad, diámetros, área basal y cobertura del dosel fueron mayores en B-B. La variación en las condiciones del microclima y suelos fueron mayores en los B-M. Las especies arbóreas de BMM (alta densidad de juveniles y plántulas <5cm de diámetro) están colonizando el sotobosque del bosque de pino adyacente, mientras que en los matorrales su establecimiento parece estar limitado por la competencia con los arbustos y hierbas, además de las condiciones del microclima. Los resultados obtenidos resaltan la importancia de considerar el contraste entre bordes en la conservación y restauración del BMM en paisajes forestales.

Translation, Retranslation and Recreation in the Literary Field
Authors: Hajj Maya El
Published: August 2019

Ameen Fares Rihani rewrote a few of his Arabic poems, such as “I am the East” and “New York” in English, to enable American and Arab readers to understand the poems within their cultural settings, to promote the Eastern culture in the West, and to introduce the West to the Easterners. This paper argues that in his translations of his own poetry, Rihani was a recreator rather than a translator. A comparative analysis of Rihani’s rewritten poems in English and the translations made by other translators of the same poems will prove that the author-translator’s choice of terms along with their cultural backgrounds, deep meanings and etymologies reveal his deep understanding of the source and target cultures, the Eastern and the Western ones. The study further analyzes Rihani’s literary recreations or in other terms transcreations and examines as well the other translators’ rendering of the same works. Comparative study shows how poetry transcends cultural barriers and understands the linguistic and cultural spirit of the target language, thereby attempts to bridge the civilization and cultural gaps between the East and the West.

Published: August 2019

This study aimed at identifying the phenomenon of speech level shift in the domain of the elderly¬ care in Japan and finding out the rationale of the shift. Speech level in Japanese language is defined as the formality and politeness level in an interaction, which in lingustics is related to the use of formal or non-formal forms at the end of an utterance and is usually said as honorific expressions. Speech level shift is a shift from one speech level to another. The subjects of this study were 68 Indonesian caregivers who worked in the nursing homes in Japan. The data were collected in three areas, namely Osaka, Yokohama and Toyohashi. They were collected by recording the speech events between the caregivers and the elderly. The findings of this study indicated that speech level shifts took place in the interaction between the caregivers and the elderly. There were two types of speech level shifts used by the caregivers, namely plus level shift and minus level shift. They took place in the contexts of formal and nonformal speeches between the two speakers and were done by the caregivers to enable the elderly understand their speeches faster.

Published: August 2019

Blended learning starts late but develops rapidly in China owing to the advancement of information technology. In the last decade, researches on blended learning have drawn much attention in the field of interdisciplinary education and have become relatively mature. International Trade Practice Course, one of optional courses for English majors, features as systematization and practicality with the aim of cultivating cross-disciplined and multiple talents. Nevertheless, the practical requirements of the course are hard to fulfill due to the limitation and restriction of the traditional teaching method. The emergence and promotion of video blogs provide a new approach for blended learning that makes up for the deficiency of unitary teaching method. This paper intends to study the status quo and the effect of blended learning using video blogs in international trade practice course. By using the methods of questionnaire, field trip and interview, the author collected the effective data and information in order to offer some rational suggestions on blended learning in second language learning.

Evaluation of Building Collapse Risk and Drift Demands by Nonlinear Structural Analyses Using Conventional Hazard Analysis versus Direct Simulation with CyberShake Seismograms
Authors: Bijelić Nenad , Lin Ting , Deierlein Gregory G.
Published: August 2019

Limited data on strong earthquakes and their effect on structures pose challenges of making reliable risk assessments of tall buildings. For instance, although the collapse safety of tall buildings is likely controlled by large‐magnitude earthquakes with long durations and high low‐frequency content, there are few available recorded ground motions to evaluate these issues. The influence of geologic basins on amplifying ground‐motion effects raises additional questions. Absent recorded motions from past large magnitude earthquakes, physics‐based ground‐motion simulations provide a viable alternative. This article examines collapse risk and drift demands of a 20‐story archetype tall building using ground motions at four sites in the Los Angeles (LA) basin. Seismic demands of the building are calculated form nonlinear structural analyses using large datasets (∼500,000 ground motions per site) of unscaled, site‐specific simulated seismograms. Seismic hazard and building performance from direct analysis of Southern California Earthquake Center CyberShake motions are contrasted with values obtained based on conventional approaches that rely on recorded motions coupled with probabilistic seismic hazard assessments. At the LA downtown site, the two approaches yield similar estimates of mean annual frequency of collapse (λc), whereas nonlinear drift demands estimated with direct analysis are slightly larger primarily because of differences in hazard curves. Conversely, at the deep basin site, the CyberShake‐based analysis yields around seven times larger λc than the conventional approach, and both hazard and spectral shapes of the motions drive the differences. Deaggregation of collapse risk is used to identify the relative contributions of causal earthquakes, linking building responses with specific seismograms and contrasting collapse risk with hazard. A strong discriminative power of average spectral acceleration and significant duration for predicting collapse is observed.

Türkiye
Cumhuriyeti’nin kuruluşunu müteakip, sosyal, kültürel, ekonomik, siyasi
alanlarda gerçekleştirilen inkılap hareketleriyle devletin modern bir çehreye
bürünmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yönetimi elinde bulunduran devletin kurucu kadrosu,
arzuladığı moderniteye özellikle halk tabanını dâhil etmek istemiştir. Ancak
bölgesel farklılıklarla birlikte, halkın, genel bağlamda modernleşme çabalarını
kolayca özümseyebilecek bilinçte olduğunu söylemek zordur. Bölgesel farklılığın
önemli bir boyutunu etnik kimlik temelinde değerlendirmek mümkündür. Şöyle ki,
devletin resmi dili Türkçe olmasına karşın, araştırmamızın çerçevesini
oluşturan Hakkâri’nin de yer aldığı Doğu illerinin bir kısmında yoğun olarak
Kürtçe konuşulmakta ve Türkçe bilen kesim azdır. Dolayısıyla mevcut etnik
kimliklerin doğal bir sonucu kültürel ayrışmanın neden olduğu sorunları
giderebilme çareleri aranmıştır. Devletin ücra bir köşesinde, her türlü gelişim
imkânlarından yoksun Hakkâri’de teşekkül edilen halkevinin, halkodalarının
faaliyetleri bu açıdan önem arz etmektedir.

Bu çalışmada, bulanık hedef
programlama (BHP) kullanarak mobilya üreten bir firma için bir üretim planı
önerisi getirilmekte ve karar vericinin miktar ve kar amacına ulaşılması
hedeflenmektedir. Bu hedefler kesin olarak belirlenemediği için bulanık
sayılarla ifade edilmiştir. Önerilen modelde, her bölümdeki işçi sayısı yeniden
düzenlenmiştir. Önerilen modelin kullanılması durumunda, şirketin önceki
dönemde olduğundan%8 daha az işçi kullanarak faaliyetlerine devam edebileceği
ve üretim bölümlerinin daha verimli çalışacağı öne sürülmüştür.

Bu çalışmada lise son
sınıf öğrencisi olan ergen bireylerin internet bağımlılığı ve anne baba
tutumları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma deseni
olarak genel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır ve Kırıkkale ilinin Osmangazi
ilçesinde yer alan Osmangazi Anadolu lisesinde öğrenim gören 60 lise son sınıf
öğrencisine Kişisel Bilgi Formu, İnternet Bağımlılık Ölçeği ve Anne Baba Tutum
Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan öğrenciler internet bağımlılık
düzeylerine göre belirti göstermeyen, sınırlı belirti gösteren ve patolojik
internet bağımlısı şeklinde gruplara ayrılmış ve bu grupların algılanan
anne-baba tutumları (demokratik, koruyucu/istekçi, otoriter) arasındaki farkın
anlamlılığını tespit etmek amacıyla tek yönlü varyans analizi uygulanmıştır.
Demokratik ve otoriter aile yapısında öğrencilerin internet bağımlılık
düzeylerine göre ortaya çıkan ortalama farklılıkları anlamlı bulunmamıştır.
Fakat koruyucu/istekçi aile yapısında ortaya çıkan ortalama farklılıkları
anlamlı bulunmuştur.

This research was directed to see the extent of the role of the Sufistic dimensions of economy behavior and the religiosity of Banjarese traders community. The purpose is to study the economy behavior and the religiosity of Banjarese traders community and to understand the Sufistic Dimension by using Sufistic Analysis and Max Weber’s theory. He argued that religion has implications for religious and economy thinking. Prof. Jacquen Austry argued that the Islamic concept of economics has perfection in economic practice compared to the concept of Capitalism and Socialism because it is based on the basis of Islamic teachings, namely the holy Al-Qur’an and the As-Sunnah which are absolutely true. This study is a qualitative research. It uses descriptive-analytic methods. It uses some data collection techniques; they are interview, observation and documentation. Understanding and belief in the Sufisitic Dimension which is considered important for understanding mystical privileges to open the invisible divine veils, but it can be felt as a belief in the blessing media in the area of “Ihsan” in seeking of sustenance from God, then transforms the understanding of exoteric values into esoteric characteristics according to the religious experience of the Banjarese traders community when entering the transcendental region. Penelitian ini diarahkan untuk melihat sejauh mana peran dimensi sufistik pada perilaku ekonomi dan keberagamaan komunitas pedagang Banjar. Adapun tujuannya adalah mengetahui perilaku ekonomi dan keberagamaan komunitas pedagang Banjar dalam memahami dimensi sufistik dengan menggunakan analisis sufistik dengan menggunakan teori Max Weber. Dia mengemukakan bahwa agama memberikan implikasi kepada pemikiran agama dan ekonomi. Prof Jacquen Austry mengemukakan mazhab ekonomi Islam memiliki kesempurnaan dalam praktek ekonomi dibanding Mazhab Kapitalisme dan Sosialisme karena berpatokan pada dasar ajaran Al-Qur’an dan As-Sunnah yang mutlak kebenarannya. penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif melalui metode deksriptif-analitik dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Oleh sebab itu sebuah pemikiran tentang fenomena perilaku ekonomi yang berada pada komunitas pedagang Banjar perlu dikaji. Jadi pemahaman dan keyakinan terhadap dimensi sufistik juga dianggap urgen dalam memahami keistimewaan mistis guna membuka tabir Ilahi yang tidak terlihat oleh mata dhahir, namun dapat dirasakan seperti keyakinan terhadap media berkah pada wilayah ihsan dalam mencari rezeki Tuhan, kemudian mentranformasikan pemahaman nilai yang bersifat eksotoris ke sifat isotoris menurut pengalaman keberagamaan komunitas pedagang (religious experience) ketika masuk ke wilayah transcendental.
