In this discussion the development of inheritance law was stated, from the time before  colonialism until  the time of independence. In the development of inheritance law before  the colonial period, the empire and  the sultanate applied inheritance law as a living law in the  community as well as a culture of Indonesian law in its time.  When  the Dutch East Indies government arrived, Indonesia had  implemented Islamic religious law, which  then continued and recognized its legal authority, Van den Berg conceptualized Staatsblat 1882 Number 152 which contained provisions for indigenous people or colonized people, religious laws must be applied in his environment. Snouck Hoergronje, advisor to the  Dutch East Indies Government, initiated the  receptie theory of Islamic issues  and  domestic children who pro- posed “Islam  can apply if it has been perceived by customary law”, so adat  is what determines the existence or absence of Islamic law. Furthermore, at the  time  of independence Indonesian Islamic law experts tried  to make  Islamic law a national law, with the effort of national seminars in the formation of law, Islamic law was made as one of the sources in addition to European law and Customary law

Intellectual capital is a knowledge-based resource that plays an important role in creating a sustainable competitive advantage of a company. Intellectual capital is an important resource in the era of information and knowledge for company growth. Intellectual capital as an important resource owned by the company needs to be disclosed by the company to investors and potential investors. Disclosure of intellectual capital in Indonesia is still voluntary, it has been implicitly regulated in PSAK No. 19. This research will examine the determinants of intellectual capital disclosures and their consequences on company value. The determining factor that is suspected to affect the disclosure of intellectual capital in Indonesia is the number of board of commissioners, the proportion of independent board of commissioners, company size, and leverage. The consequence of intellectual capital disclosure is the value of the company. The study population was all companies included in the LQ45 on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period 2014 to 2016. The number of research samples was 135 observations. The analysis used is multiple linear regression. The results of this study found the number of board of commissioners, the proportion of independent board of commissioners, company size, and leverage had a positive effect on the disclosure of intellectual capital. The broader disclosure of intellectual capital, the higher the value of the company.Keywords : Intellectual Capital Disclosure ; Company Value ; Board of Commissioners ; Company Size

Valoraciones discursivas en torno a la discusión acerca del matrimonio igualitario en Chile
Authors: Araya Seguel Claudio , González Riffo Javier
Published: September 2019

En los últimos años se han producido cambios jurí­dicos que buscan un nuevo trato hacia la comunidad LGBTI (lesbianas, gay, bisexuales, transexuales e intersexuales) en Chile. Sin embargo, la discusión sobre el Matrimonio Igualitario sigue entrampada tanto en el debate legislativo como en la opinión pública. Desde la perspectiva del modelo de VALORACIí“N (Martin y White, 2005), se busca revelar los posicionamientos ideológicos de quienes promueven dicha ley y de quienes son sus detractores a través del análisis de dos cartas al director. Entre los principales resultados se puede mencionar la marcada contraposición de los recursos de monoglosia y heteroglosia en los textos en contra y a favor del Matrimonio Igualitario.

Analizamos Informes de Arbitraje en los que se recomendaba rechazar la publicación de los manuscritos enviados a una revista chilena de humanidades. Buscamos establecer si estos informes variaban según dos atributos de los evaluadores: el número de publicaciones y el tipo de participación en la revista. Los resultados muestran que, independientemente de su estatus, al rechazar un artí­culo de investigación cientí­fica los árbitros realizan evaluaciones centradas en todo el artí­culo y que los propósitos comunicativos caracterí­sticos son describir, describir error y describir lo que falta.

Authors: Nómez Naí­n
Published: September 2019

El libro que se presenta es un compendio de doce artí­culos publicados en revistas especializadas por Ricardo Ferrada y ahora reunidos como estudios crí­ticos que dan cuenta de "la producción de escritores latinoamericanos y chilenos" (7), tal como señala su autor en la introducción. Agrega que se trata del "análisis de obras y autores [que] se despliega en épocas y procesos variados, cuya reflexión [...] se sitúa en distintas estéticas y problemas" (7). En esta dirección, estas "huellas" y "trazos" se desarrollan en tres grandes núcleos problemáticos, cada uno con cuatro trabajos. El primero tiene que ver con los procesos crí­ticos y literarios; el segundo, con reflexiones poéticas aterrizadas en autores latinoamericanos y chilenos; y el tercero da cuenta de narrativas especí­ficas acotadas prioritariamente a la novela latinoamericana y chilena contemporánea con su montaje crí­tico. Cada sección contiene cuatro trabajos en que establecen un cierto equilibrio entre crí­ticas, poéticas y narrativas y entre los artí­culos que se desarrollan desde el siglo XIX al siglo XXI. En la parte medular de esta breve presentación, revisamos un artí­culo por cada una de estos tres núcleos. Queremos señalar como preámbulo que el estilo de Ricardo Ferrada no siempre es fácil, ya que se caracteriza por una cierta densidad escritural que se focaliza en las ideas y en la reflexión intelectual, más que en la ejemplificación monográfica y anecdótica.

Published: September 2019

This study investigates the current practices and challenges of alternative assessment for the teachers. While oral competence remains a productive skill in learning language process, the concept of alternative assessment or teacher-made assessment (classroom assessment) is another more authentic method of assessments which is different from the traditional ones. This study involved two EFL teachers who had more than five years teaching experience and used to give alternative assessment practice in the same Islamic Boarding School (IBS). An in-depth semi-structured interview and class observation was conducted with these two key aims: (1) to describe how English teachers are currently using alternative assessment practices on EFL students’ oral competence; and (2) to describe the difficulties faced by English teachers in implementing alternative assessment on EFL students’ oral competence. The results revealed that English Teacher in IBS has widely employed several methods such as peer assessment in collaborative work, and class students’ observation. In applying alternative assessment strategies, the teachers focused on oral skills which used many group activities and gave authentic materials as topic. The teachers increased the students’ involvement by giving activities such as role-play, assigning them to memorize short dialogue, drama, conversation, and presentation. The teachers also collected students’ notebooks as additional scores, raised students’ cases or problems to solve, and shared the components that would be assessed. The teachers gave some recommendations in order to use oral presentation to stimulate students’ oral competencies in their class and evaluate or control students to practice English outside of the classrooms as well. English teachers also faced several difficulties in implementing alternative assessment on EFL students’ oral competence, such as students’ lack of vocabulary, students’ weak of pronunciation and grammar which makes the students less confidence and motivation, and some slow-learners. In addition, teachers also had limited time to assess all student competencies.
Revealing the secrets of others (on YouTube)
Authors: Kallinen Timo
Published: September 2019

In the midst of the proliferation of Christianity and Islam, traditional religious movements struggle for recognition all over Africa. In order to reach nationwide and diasporic audiences, traditionalist movements have sought to assume a visible role in modern mass media. In Ghana, West Africa, the traditionalists have been at pains to challenge the dominance of Pentecostal-charismatic Christianity in the public sphere. Analysts have pointed out that traditional religion’s public role has been constrained by its emphasis on secrecy and limited access to spiritual powers, while Christianity’s public performances of revelations have been better suited for mass media. One of the major themes in the public representations of Pentecostalism has been the revealing of satanic influences working underneath the secrecy of traditional religion. By using examples from Ghana the article shows how the traditionalists have recently developed their own revelatory discourse, in which the dualism godly/satanic has been subverted. By publicly exposing Christian pastors as frauds in social media the traditionalists reemploy and redirect an age-old accusation of charlatanism previously targeted at themselves by both Christian and secularist commentators. More importantly, however, these statements should be understood as attempts to redefine Christianity from a non-Christian perspective.

An improved combinatorial factor allows to reproduce the correct critical tem-peratures for the Ising lattices.As result, the accuracy of thermodynamic values calculated near the criticalpoint increases by the factor 2 - 3 for the most important lattice types.It is shown why one-particle (Bragg-Williams) and two-particle (Quasichemical)approximations cannot be adequately applied for description of important nuancesof interatomic interaction.The problem of negative entropy values manifested at low temperatures andtypical for model theories is discussed. It is being argued that this problem has tobe treated as exaggerated.

This study aims to determine how the process of implementing a business program to increase the income of prosperous families in the city of Padang Panjang, identify the obstacles encountered and find out the efforts taken in overcoming obstacles in the implementation of the program. This research is motivated by the fact that not all people from the poor are included, efforts are not carried out collectively, lack of participation from prosperous family groups III plus to want to act as foster father, the amount of capital provided by the government is insufficient in the implementation of UPPKS activities and often capital in the wrong use for consumptive purposes.The method used in this research is qualitative by using descriptive methods, because the study provides a description of the situation as it should. The selection of informants is done by purposive sampling. The type of data is primary data and secondary data collected through observation, interviews and documentation studies. The validity test is done through triangulation of sources. Then the data analysis techniques used can be grouped in 3 stages, namely data reduction, presentation and drawing conclusions.Research findings indicate that the implementation of the UPPKS program is in accordance with existing procedures but has not been fully able to improve the welfare of its members and is not optimal. This can be seen with the still found obstacles in the implementation, the obstacles encountered in the implementation of the UPPKS program in the city of Padang Panjang can be categorized into two forms, namely internal and external constraints. Internal constraints include: weak oversight of the program, lack of capital sourced from the government, uneven development. And external constraints include: the use of aid that has not been maximized, the lack of creativity and innovation of some groups in finding and utilizing sources of funds, the late repayment of loans. To overcome obstacles in the process of implementing the UPPKS program, efforts were made to include prosperous families III acting as foster fathers in groups, conducting coaching, and constraints originating from program participants made efforts such as mentoring regarding the UPPKS program's true purpose, conducting a ball pick-up system on the member who is stuck in payment.

Know your big data: De-biasing subsamples of large datasets for personality research using importance sampling and kNN matching
Authors: Fricke Kai , Herzberg Philipp
Published: September 2019

Large behavioral datasets collect ecologically valid data on user behavior, but only seldom provide more data on the users. To gain further insights on the participants, small subsamples can be collected, assessing variables of interest, such as personality characteristics. However, such samples are often biased through self-selection of participation. Removal of this bias is often hard because no demographic data is present and only distributions of (multiple) continuous target variables in the population are known from the large dataset. In two studies, we examined de-biasing methods with respect to arbitrary continuous variables. In the first study, we examined an artificial dataset with full information on the population and found that sequential importance sampling and single-nearest-neighbour matching proved successful in removing bias from subsamples. In the second study, we took this method to practice and examined the relationship of personality characteristics and music preferences in a sample of Spotify users with respect to the musical preference distributions of one million users of the Million Song Dataset. Our results show that sequential importance sampling is a promising way to remove bias from samples when the distribution of relevant variables in the population is known.
Working in the research-to-practice gap: Case studies, core principles, and a call to action

Published: September 2019

Developmental science offers many research findings that are relevant for real world settings, but there are significant challenges in moving research beyond university walls. This paper presents a framework for the translating developmental science to practice, primarily in educational settings, articulating ten core principles for research-to-practice translation. The principles summarize the key lessons learned from two long-term research-to-practice translational projects: the development of an early childhood numeracy curriculum (the Wesleyan Preschool Math Project) and a research-based summer pre-K for low-income children (Kindergarten Kickstart). The principles reflect central tenets of community-engaged research and intervention design: 1. Understand the gap; 2. Invest in developing the intervention; 3. Appreciate the naturalistic, real-world context; 4. Maximize uptake, not just efficacy and effectiveness; 5. Acknowledge power and status differentials; 6. Collaborate; 7. Leverage resources; 8. Establish mutual respect; 9. Practice iterative development; 10. Simplify the final product. We emphasize the importance of collaborating with community members; acknowledging power differentials between researchers and practitioners; respecting practitioners as experts in their own right with valuable insight into their classrooms; appreciating naturalistic context; and recognizing the motivations of end-users at every step of intervention design and development. The paper also includes strategies for researchers to maximize translational opportunities, such as leveraging untapped resources and mobilizing undergraduate students. This paper is both a call to action and an initial blueprint for developmental scientists who are interested in translating their research into practice.
3 Dimensional Modeling of Advection-Diffusion Equation
Authors: Ilia Amin
Published: September 2019

Estimation of flows and sediment transport is challenging as many complexes and interacting physical phenomena need to be accounted for. In this research, a coupled two-dimensional finite volume flow model and a three-dimensional sediment transport model were developed in Fortran. In this model, the depth-integrated current vectors and water level were computed by 2D shallow water equations as the 2D model is computationally much faster than the 3D model. The depth-integrated current vectors were distributed in depths using a logarithmic current distribution equation, log of the wall. These distributed velocities and simulated water levels were used for three-dimensional sediment transport model which is generated using the same scheme. A 3D sediment transport model was preferred over a 2D model as 3D sediment model can estimate vertically diffusion of sediment mass from bedload to suspended sediment load which significantly improves the prediction of morphology evolutions.In order to discretize each subset of equations with the best-suited method, I utilized a time-splitting technique. As a result, I applied the second-order Fromm scheme which was found the best method for solving advection terms and semi-implicit forward time central space method which was found the best method for solving diffusion terms. The time-splitting scheme also reduced the complicity, therefore, the solution became simple and attractive to apply. For developing the sediment transport model, I applied this advection-diffusion concept to estimate the distribution of suspended sediment concentration and the Van Rijn (1981) scheme for the estimation of bedload sediment transport. As it’s very important to estimate and predict this phenomenon accurately, I compared the model with a lab trench experiment and the model results were in agreement with lab experiments. It was shown that the model could accurately simulate sedimentation on the downsloping (deceleration) section and erosion on the upsloping (acceleration) section of a marine trench. This would cause lateral movement of the channel toward the current direction. Being capable of accurate sediment transport and morphological dynamics simulation in this complex setting, this model is validated to be applied to other marine problems.
A Glance Overview of the Living Environment
Authors: Koimah Siti , Setiawan Adib Rifqi
Published: September 2019

People have long been curious about living things—how many different species there are, what they are like, where they live, how they relate to each other, and how they behave. Scientists seek to answer these questions and many more about the organisms that inhabit the earth. In particular, they try to develop the concepts, principles, and theories that enable people to understand the living environment better. Living organisms are made of the same components as all other matter, involve the same kind of transformations of energy, and move using the same basic kinds of forces. Thus, all of the physical principles, the physical setting, apply to life as well as to stars, raindrops, and smartphone sets. But living organisms also have characteristics that can be understood best through the application of other principles. This article offers recommendations on basic knowledge about how living things function and how they interact with one another and their environment. The article focuses on six major subjects: the diversity of life, as reflected in the biological characteristics of the earth's organisms; the transfer of heritable characteristics from one generation to the next; the structure and functioning of cells, the basic building blocks of all organisms; the interdependence of all organisms and their environment; the flow of matter and energy through the grand-scale cycles of life; and how biological evolution explains the similarity and diversity of life.

Effective Learning and Teaching
Authors: Koimah Siti , Setiawan Adib Rifqi
Published: September 2019

Although science education emphasizes what students should learn, it also recognizes that how science is taught is equally important. In planning instruction, effective teachers draw on a growing body of research knowledge about the nature of learning and on craft knowledge about teaching that has stood the test of time. Typically, they consider the special characteristics of the material to be learned, the background of their students, and the conditions under which the teaching and learning are to take place. This article presents—nonsystematically and with no claim of completeness—some principles of learning and teaching that characterize the approach of such teachers. Many of those principles apply to learning and teaching in general, but clearly some are especially important in science, mathematics, and technology education. For convenience, learning and teaching are presented here in separate sections, even though they are closely interrelated.

Published: September 2019

Background and purpose: Digital subtraction angiography (DSA), a minimally invasive procedure for an exceptional visualization of cerebrovascular angioarchitecture, has become an important imaging technique for inclusive evaluation and therapeutic embolization. Our purpose is to share the importance of DSA for evaluation of cerebral aneurysms.

Material and method: A total of 148 patients with suspected intracranial aneurysm underwent digital subtraction angiography during January 2005 to December 2009. Preliminarily aortogram was considered in old age group (>50yrs) before supra-aortic angiography. Patient’s selection criterion included both ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. 3D rotational effect was applied for all complex cerebral aneurysms with unfavorable dome neck ratio. DSA was accomplished into 2- 6 standard projections for every vascular territory for optimal visualization and accurate evaluation of cerebral aneurysms.

Result: 21 were males and 48 were females. Age difference was ranged between 26-78 years with an average of 51.5years. Among 288 patients, total detected aneurysms were 480. 32 presented with SAH, 21 presented with headache and 14 patients came with cranial nerve dysfunction during admission. 3 had negative angiography irrespective to spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage. Delineation of aneurysmal neck improved with rotation effect of 3D DSA in 80% of patients. Parent vessel and its relationship to adjacent vessels was better demonstrated with rotational angiography in >50% of cases. Endovascular embolization was done in 80 patients in same setting.

Conclusion: DSA with 3D rotational technique is an essential radio-imaging tool for accurate characterization of cerebrovascular diseases and subsequently beneficial to elaborate on their potential treatment protocols.

This article builds up on an action research which was carried out mainly with two major purposes: to investigate learner perceptions and attitudes in the use of ICTs in English language classes; and to examine the role of ICTs in promoting the learner independence and motivation. The population of the study consisted of all the students from the Department of English Education, Central Department of Education, Kirtipur. The area was purposively selected; we have been teaching in the same place for seven years. The participants were 37 students who were also purposively selected. Among them, only 15 students were invited to a focused group discussion (FGD). However, all the students participated in the intervention for the whole semester. The intervention was implemented during the instruction. The major ICT tools adopted for the study were: web sites, e-mails and multimedia. We administered three progress tests to assess their progress in terms of independence and motivation. The findings of this research show that the learners are well motivated and positive in the use of ICTs in language teaching.

AbstractPT. Angkasa Pura I branch Sepinggan, Balikpapan still uses the web with a little interactive (browsing or searching for certain information). The system still has some constraints between, the data searched only in accordance with the origin of the sender of the letter. Information gleaned from web searches will make it hard for users to find other broader content, consequently if the search keyword does not match the text contained in the information, the information will not appear. The method used is semantic ontology method, and use protege as ontology design, then use netbean and library Jena as interface design. The methodology used in this final project is the methodology methodology of Guidelines for Rapid APPlication Engineering (GRAPPLE). The GRAPPLE methodology is a simplified framework of the Rapid Application Development (RAD) system development method. GRAPPLE methodology is a system development methodology that each stage consists of several actions, and each action produces a UML diagram. UML is a good modeling language to apply in development. UML has the benefit of providing an overview of systems that are easily understood by developers. UML also makes it easy to translate diagram form into coding. The results obtained in making this application shows that the new application can cover the constraints existing in the previous application, so as to increase the effectiveness of searching a letter. Comparison of test results proved that new applications more minimize the constraints that occur. Keywords: Semantic Web, Ontology, Protege, Letter
