Designing an Islamic Studies Curriculum: Aligning the Purpose of Education and Learning Activities Through Traditional Islamic Perspective and Scientific Literacy Competencies
Authors: Setiawan Adib Rifqi
Published: September 2019

It is requisite that each activity is necessary to have a clear purpose as it was designed to be a well applicable plan. Burhān al-Dīn al-Zarnūjī in ‘Ta’līm al-muta’allim ṭōrīq at-ta’allumi’ proposed three categories in the formulation of obejctives in education: God’s pleasure, individual development, and social orientation. By ignoring first of those category, I see that two categories can be aligned with scientific literacy competencies. Scientific literacy indicates that science has value outside scientific practice, is hardly modern idea and reality. Although we lose sight of this history, at least it was shown by both of Abū al-Fatḥ Muḥammad al-Syahrostānī in his treatise ‘al-Milal wa al-Niḥal’ nor Stephen William Hawking & Leonard Mlodinow in their popular book ‘The grand design’. This work goals to gain the design for an Islamic studies curriculum, that is aligning the purpose of education and learning activities through traditional islamic perspective and scientific literacy competencies. I used R&D approach four-D model that reduced into three stages: define, design, and develop. It gained a framework and syllabus also an example of lesson plan, student worksheets, nor assessment instrument, that validated by experts and practitioners and reliability counted based on test. The final test of any educational idea, of course, in implementation. The implementation of this work is yet to do.

Published: September 2019

Introduction: Direct and indirect bonding has revolutionized clinical orthodontics by reducing chair-side time and enhancing patient comfort. Clinicians often hesitate to bond molars due to ambiguity on shear bond strength. This study was conducted to compare shear bond strengths of two commercially available bondable molar tubes. And asses mesh if the mesh design had a role to play in differences in shear bond strength.

Materials & Method: 30 extracted maxillary molars were divided into Group I and II (n=15).Group I bonded with Victory series MBT (3M Unitek). And Group II bonded with Ortho classic proprietary Pad- Lok (Navy orthodontics). Teeth were mounted on a jig and Shear Bond Strength was evaluated on an Instron universal testing machine at a cross head speed of 1mm/minute. They were also subjected to scanning microscopic examination to check the base pattern.

Result: Shear bond strength of navy orthodontic tubes were (18.0675+/- 4.0187 MPa) was significantly higher than 3M victory series (8.93 +/2.493MPa). Unpaired T-test shows a higher significant difference in SBS between two groups at 1% of significance. SME showed that navy orthodontic tube base was pad-lock mesh design, while 3M was a single mesh base design.

Conclusion: 3M victory series molar tube exhibited a near ideal while other sample showed far higher shear bond strength than recommended. Higher values may result in enamel fracture.

Published: September 2019

Introduction: The purpose of this prospective clinical study was to compare the three dimensional predicted software models with the stage clinical STL models and to evaluate the efficacy of tooth movement with clear aligners.

Materials & Method: The sample size included 10 cases with mild anterior crowding treated with aligner therapy. The virtual model of the predicted tooth position was superimposed on the virtual model of the achieved tooth position at various stages over their stationary posterior teeth by using MeshLab software. The amount of tooth movement predicted was compared with the amount of tooth movement achieved.

Result: The results of this study have shown that when a comparison was made on the basis of irregularity scores in both the groups, it was seen that the irregularity score was more in Clinical STL group at each stage such as 2.55 at T4, 1.65 at T6 and 1.0 at T8 whereas 2.0 at T4. 0.90 at T6 and 0.25 at T8 in the Software model group. Also, On comparing mean accuracy these three stages, the analysis of data showed the mean accuracy at T4 is 62.5%, mean accuracy at T6 is 68.8% and the mean accuracy at T8 is 78.1%.

Conclusion: The predicted software models do not accurately reflect the patient’s tooth position .There is an overestimation by predicted software as compared to actual clinically achieved tooth position. There is a need of overcorrection to be built in the treatment planning stage itself and execution of the anticipated end result.

Authors: Khuzaeni Khuzaeni
Published: September 2019

Tujuan penelitian ini Salah satu barometer maju-mundurnya suatu perusahaan dapat diukur dari tingkat kinerja keuangan. Tingkat kinerja keuangan yang tinggi menggambarkan bahwa perusahaan tersebut efisiensi dalam penggunaan modal kerja sehingga akan diperoleh produktifitas. Pada akhirnya kinerja keuangan akan memberikan kebahagiaan bagi para pemegang saham terutama berkaitan dengan deviden yang akan diterimanya. Permasalahan yang muncul bagi manajemen adalah bagaimana kinerja keuangan yang dimanisfestasikan dengan laba yang diperoleh itu dikelola dengan baik. Pengelolaan laba tersebut terletak pada kebijakan deviden. Kebijakan deviden mengatur bagaimana laba yang diperoleh akan dialokasikan kepada para pemegang saham dalam bentuk deviden dan laba ditahan. Bagi BUMN permasalahan ini belum cukup karena ada kewajiban menyisihkan laba sebesar 1-5% bagi kegiatan Program Kemitraan dan Bina Lingkungan (PKBL). Hal ini kebijakan deviden alokasinya tidak hanya untuk pembayaran deviden dan laba ditahan saja melainkan ada tambahan untuk PKBL. Pada akhirnya penelitian ini ingin mengetahui seberapa besar pengaruh Program kemitraan dan kebijakan deviden terhadap kinerja keuangan pada bank BUMN. Data sekunder diambil dari laporan keuangan tahunan dari 3 sampel bank BUMN yang ada di Indonesia.. Analisis data menggunakan teknik analisa regresi parsial dan simultan. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa: Pertama, terdapat pengaruh antara Program Kemitraan dengan Kinerja Keuangan tidak kuat karena tingkat signifikan hanya sebesar 24,5%.  Kedua, tidak terdapat pengaruh antara Kebijakan deviden dengan Kinerja keuangan karena tingkat signifikannya sebesar 1,4%. Ketiga, terdapat pengaruh antara Program Kemitraan dan Kebijakan deviden dengan Kinerja keuangan pada bank BUMN.

Published: September 2019

El proceso de autoevaluación y evaluación de una institución educativa, por parte de un organismo acreditador, implica que un grupo de académicos, directivos, administrativos y personal de apoyo trabajen de forma colaborativa para el logro de los objetivos, sin embargo, este trabajo debe ser organizado por un pequeño grupo de personas, una comisión de acreditación o un coordinador general, por lo que en este artículo se presenta una propuesta metodológica para la división y organización de las actividades involucradas, así como de los roles de los que conforman la comisión. Así mismo, considerando que una de las principales tareas durante el proceso de autoevaluación es la recopilación de información conformada por una gran cantidad de documentos físicos, carpetas, archivos y documentos aislados, se sugieren algunas herramientas digitales para que esta actividad implique un menor esfuerzo y una mayor organización, además de tener mayor transparencia y colaboración.

The process of self-evaluation and evaluation of an educational institution, by an accrediting institute, implies that a group of academics, managers, administrative staff and support staff work collaboratively to achieve the objectives, however, this work must be organized by a small group of people, an accreditation commission or a general coordinator, so this article presents a methodological proposal for the division and organization of the activities involved, as well as the roles of those who make up the commission. Likewise, considering that one of the main tasks during the self-assessment process is the collection of information consisting of a large number of physical documents, folders, files and isolated documents, somedigital tools are suggested so that this activity involves less effort and a greater organization, in addition to having greater transparency and collaboration.

Published: September 2019

Background: Biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbon needs a specific technique called bioremediation to remove the environmental pollutants. Several indigenous microorganisms including fungi, bacteria, and actinomycetes are effective agents in degrading petroleum derivatives, aliphatic and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Objective: This research aimed to investigate indigenous fungi isolates from petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil in Siak which are capable to degrade hydrocarbon.

Methods: The competence of indigenous fungi was isolated from a crude oil-contaminated soil which collected from one of oil-field in Siak, Riau. The effectiveness of isolates on the degradation crude oil was tested by culturing the isolates in Bushnell-Haas broth containing crude oil (5% v/v) for 16 days. A decrease in pH, change in optical density and amount of CO2 released were recorded to indirectly indicate the crude oil degradation by the fungi. To measure the percentage of crude oil biodegradation, gravimetric analysis was utilized.

Results: The two colonies were selected and identified as Aspergillus sp LBKURCC151 and Penicillium sp LBKURCC153. The results showed that Aspergillus sp LBKURCC151 reached a higher level (61%) of biodegradation after 16 days under the optimum conditions in degrading total petroleum hydrocarbon than Penicillium sp LBKURCC153 (46%).

Conclusion: These results indicated that Aspergillus sp LBKURCC151 and Penicillium sp LBKURCC153 are potential degraders for bioremediation in crude oil-contaminated area.

Authors: 范 仕勇
Published: September 2019

中国国土面积很大，幅员辽阔，天然矿产资源是非常丰富的，但由于传统的先污染后治理的落后发展观念，在对矿产资源进行开采的过程中没有做好矿藏区域内周边环境保护，此外，矿产资源被过度开采，矿业的可持续使用也没有被矿业企业所重视。由于过度开采和不到位的开采保护，使得矿井周围常常会发生较为严重的地质灾害，一些资源采矿的企业在没有经过严格的污水处理的情况下，肆意的向自然环境中排放重污染的污水，从而导致了非常严重的水土污染。与矿山地质环境和自然资源以及生态的破坏有关的一些问题主要是由于采矿领域的人为因素造成的，因此，有必要按照生态、绿色、节能的环境保护理念预防和控制矿山开采所引发的地质灾害和生态污染，并将其作为矿山开采行业需要长期坚持的一个工作。基于此，将着重分析探讨矿山地质环境问题特点及治理措施，以期能为以后的实际工作起到一定的借鉴作用。

Kadın
cinayetlerine ilişkin mevcut istatistikler kadınları hedef alan sessiz sedasız
sürdürülen bir savaşın cinsiyetli yapısını ve medya temsilini ortaya
koymaktadır. Bu çalışma; söz konusu savaşın varlığına yönelik farkındalık
yaratmak ve medyanın haber söylemleriyle kadın cinayetlerini sıradanlaştırmasına
karşı harekete geçerek mevcut sorunu, sosyal hizmetin bütüncül bakış açısıyla
internet haberleri üzerinden değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. 2018 yılında
yaşanan ve basına yansıyan 67 kadın cinayeti haberi; haber
başlıklarında olaya yönelik
tanımlamalar, fotoğraf
ve video kullanımı, olayın meydana geldiği yer, cinayetlerin
gerekçeleri, cinayetlerin işlenme biçimleri ve
kullanılan araçlar, failin mağdurla olan ilişkisi ve kadınların maruz kaldığı
şiddet geçmişi üzerinden kategorize edilmiş ve içerik analizi tekniği kullanılarak
değerlendirilmiştir. Kadına yönelik şiddet ve cinayet konulu haber
içeriklerinin, sorunu tek boyutlu ele alma eğiliminde olduğu görülmüştür. Erkek
faillerin suçları, motivasyonel kalıp yargılarla gerekçelendirilerek psikolojik
ve bireysel tasvirlerle sunulmaktadır. Cinsiyetçiliği benimseyen ve meşru kılan
söylemleriyle günümüz medyası, kadınların yaşam mücadelesini her anlamda
zorlaştırmakta ve toplumsal cinsiyet odaklı haberciliği zorunlu kılmaktadır.

The Real Challenge of Plato's Republic
Authors: Jones Russell E.
Published: September 2019

Glaucon's Challenge at the beginning of Book 2 of Plato's Republic has long prompted interpretive difficulties, due to a misunderstanding of its central aspect. The task of this essay is to correct that misunderstanding, at which point The Challenge can be seen to be as simple and powerful as Glaucon seems to think it is. The Challenge is simple, insofar as it requires Socrates to show that justice is always good, that one is always better off cultivating a just character and acting justly than otherwise (and that's all there is to it). And it is powerful, insofar as Glaucon and Adeimantus provide plausible reasons to think not simply that justice is not always good, but that fully developed injustice is always good.
Material Diplomacy: A Continental Manuscript Produced for James III, Edinburgh University Library, MS 195
Authors: Coombs Bryony
Published: September 2019

This paper examines a late medieval manuscript produced in northern France and Flanders for a member of the Scottish royal house: Edinburgh University Library, MS 195. The manuscript contains an ornate representation of the royal arms of Scotland, supported by two unicorns. It was commissioned for James III c. 1464–7. Despite its royal provenance, the manuscript has received limited scholarly attention. The text and illuminations are analysed in order to shed light on their origins and on the circumstances of their production. The manuscript is an important example of a continental work produced for Scottish royalty. By studying the text, heraldry, iconography and historical context of the manuscript, this paper provides new insights into the diplomatic relationship between James III, the French court and the continental manuscript trade. It also provides new solutions to old problems, such as the enigmatic letters ‘P’ and ‘L’ found in the border decoration.
‘Scots and Scabs from North-by-Tweed’: Undesirable Scottish Migrants in Seventeenth- and Early Eighteenth-Century England
Authors: Brown Keith M. , Kennedy Allan , Talbott Siobhan
Published: September 2019

While very prominent in the contemporary world, anxiety about the potentially negative impact that immigrants might have on their host communities has deep historical roots. In a British context, such fears were particularly heightened following the regal union of 1603 when large numbers of Scots began settling in England. This article offers a fresh perspective on these issues by exploring the experiences and reception of poor, deviant or otherwise ‘undesirable’ Scottish migrants to England during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Focusing in particular on chapmen, vagrants and criminals, it suggests that, while in general Scots were able to integrate relatively easily into English society, there existed an unwelcome subset surviving by dubious means. Though not usually attracting unduly severe treatment on account of their nationality, these unwelcome migrants had a disproportionate effect on English perceptions of and attitudes towards the broader cohort of Scottish migrants in their midst.
The Efficient Organisation of Public Intellect: Lyon Playfair and Scottish Education
Authors: Anderson Robert
Published: September 2019

Lyon Playfair was a champion of scientific and technical education who was professor of chemistry at Edinburgh University before serving as a Liberal M.P., initially for a Scottish university seat, from 1868 to 1892. This article looks mainly at his role in debates on the Education Act of 1872 and the bills which preceded it. Playfair sought to define the democratic traditions of Scottish education, especially emphasising the legacy of John Knox, and to adapt them to the new national system. He idealised the direct connection between parish schools and universities, and the opportunities available to talented boys, using newly available statistics to support his case. He also contributed to the shaping of Scottish secondary education, and to establishing the modern idea of social mobility through educational merit. When the Scottish Office was established in 1885, Playfair opposed the devolution of education and this dissent led him to move to an English seat. His career has a wider interest for the history of Scottish politics in the age of Gladstone.
David Hume's ‘A Character of Sir Robert Walpole’: Humean Factional Fears, the ‘Rage against the Scots’ and Future Historians
Authors: Hanvelt Marc , Spencer Mark G.
Published: September 2019

In this article we explore David Hume's essay of 1742, ‘A Character of Sir Robert Walpole.’ Modern scholars have not given this early, and admittedly minor, piece much attention. Hume's contemporaries did, and we find that it offers a surprisingly useful point of entry to larger concerns that engaged Hume throughout his career as a man of letters. In particular, the publishing history of Hume's ‘Character’ reveals significant developments in his thoughts on factionalism. Those developments become even more apparent when the essay and its revisions are put in context and read alongside other editorial decisions that Hume made about his Essays and Treaties and his History of England.
Translating Psychological Space in Autobiographical Writing
Authors: Ying Yan
Published: September 2019

This article proposes an approach to understanding the translation of psychological space inhabited by the ‘I’ in autobiographical writing. It first investigates features of remembering in autobiographical writing as manifested in multiple temporalities, multiple selves, and narrative situatedness. It then suggests that changes introduced through translation tend to reshape the psychological space of a narrative of memory. Finally, the Chinese translation of Martin Amis's memoir Experience is used as a case study. Amis’ writerly awareness and stylistic demonstration of time, self, and narrative situatedness provide an example to explain psychological space in autobiographical writing, and how this can change in translation. The overall aim is to cast light on how memory might travel between languages, and register how psychological reality is reconstructed rather than transferred intact in translation.

Bu çalışma rasyonda ticari vitamin ve iz mineral karmasının azaltılmasının büyüyen bıldırcınlarda performans, karkas ve serum parametreleri üzerine etkisini belirlemek için yürütülmüştür. Deneme, vitamin ve iz mineral karmasının önerilen seviyesinin kademeli olarak azaltılması ile oluşturulan ve her birinde 10 bıldırcın civcivinin bulunduğu (toplam 200 bıldırcın) dört tekerrürlü beş deneme grubundan (% 0, 20, 40, 60 ve 80) oluşturulmuştur. Genel olarak, rasyonda vitamin ve iz mineral karmasının % 40 veya daha fazla azaltılması, canlı ağırlığı, yem tüketimini ve yemden yararlanma oranını olumsuz etkilemiştir (P<0.01). Büyüyen bıldırcın rasyonlarında vitamin ve iz mineral karmasının önerilen seviyenin % 80'i kadar azaltılması ölüm oranını arttırmıştır (P<0.01). Muamelelerin göğüs oranı ve kreatin düzeyi dışında karkas ve serum parametreleri üzerine etkisi olmamıştır (P>0.05). Bu çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre, büyüyen bıldırcın rasyonlarında vitamin ve iz mineral karması seviyesinin performansı olumsuz yönde etkilemeden önerilen miktarın % 20 oranında azaltılabileceği söylenebilir.

Queue-Based Modeling of the Aircraft Arrival Process at a Single Airport
Authors: Itoh Eri , Mitici Mihaela
Published: September 2019

This paper proposes data-driven queuing models and solutions to reduce arrival time delays originating from aircraft arrival processing bottlenecks at Tokyo International Airport. A data-driven analysis was conducted using two years of radar tracks and flight plans from 2016 and 2017. This analysis helps not only to understand the bottlenecks and operational strategies of air traffic controllers, but also to develop mathematical models to predict arrival delays resulting from increased, future aircraft traffic. The queue-based modeling approach suggests that one potential solution is to expand the realization of time-based operations, efficiently shifting from traffic flow control to time-based arrival management. Furthermore, the proposed approach estimates the most effective range of transition points, which is a key requirement for designing extended arrival management systems while offering automation support to air traffic controllers.
Residue and Agronomic Management to Reduce the Continuous Corn Yield Penalty
Authors: Vogel Alison M. , Below Frederick E.
Published: September 2019

Accelerated residue degradation and nutrient cycling will be necessary to maximize yield potential in corn (Zea mays L.) grown continuously and in other high-volume residue situations. This study aimed to test if residue management and agronomic inputs could lessen the continuous corn yield penalty (CCYP) compared to a corn following soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] rotation. Field experiments conducted during 2017 and 2018 at Champaign, IL, USA compared plots of 15th year continuous corn to long-term corn-soybean rotation plots. The previous year’s corn crop residue was either downsized (chopped) or harvested with standard knife rollers, with further chemical management of either a biocatalyst or ammonium sulfate, or it was left untreated. A standard management system of 79,000 plants ha−1 and a base rate of nitrogen fertilizer was compared to an intensive management system of 111,000 plants ha−1 with additional fertilizer and a foliar fungicide. Although continuous corn cropping stress was not detected until R2 (kernel blister stage), the CCYP was 1.30 Mg ha−1. Sizing residue enhanced overwinter residue decomposition and increased yield by 0.31 Mg ha−1 regardless of rotation and by 0.53 Mg ha−1 in continuous corn. Intensive inputs in combination with residue sizing increased grain yield of continuous corn by 1.15 Mg ha−1 over standard-management rotated yields. Therefore, combining mechanical and agronomic managements can reduce corn residue and the CCYP for more sustainable crop production.
