Authors: Rashid Taha Hawkar , Hama Karim Omed
Published: July 2022

Objective: To study the prevalence of silent coronary artery disease among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and associated variables.

Methods: A cross sectional multi-center design study in the Sulaymaniyah city. The data collected from patients admitted to medical wards of Shar teaching Hospital, Shahid Hemn teaching Hospital and Faruq medical city.  It was conducted during the period of 10 months starting from April, 2017 to Jan, 2018. All patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus without symptoms of coronary heart disease were included. Symptoms were evaluated by history, physical examination including blood pressure measurement and searching for other risk factors. The patients were investigated for HbA1c, Lipid profile, resting Electrocardiography (ECG), Echocardiography, Exercise Treadmill test, and CT coronary angiography.

Results: A total of 106 patients, 55 male (51.9%) and 51 female (48.1%) were enrolled in this study, the mean age of the patients was (58.50yr ± 10.94), Nine(8.4%) patients had ischemic change by resting ECG, 10 (9.4%) had ischemic change by Echocardiography, Exercise treadmill test (ETT) was done for 20 patients and revealed positivity for ischemia in only 3(15%) patients, CT coronary angiography was done for three patients and were conclusive for CAD.

Conclusion: Silent coronary artery disease is common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, therefore patients with DM should be carefully evaluated to detect early cardiovascular adverse effect to avoid fatal consequences.

Authors: Jabour Rashid Emad , Farhan Abusuda Ahmed , Ali Hussein Ammar
Published: July 2022

Objectives: To study the early and midterm results of transcatheter closure of perimembranous VSD using Amplatzer Ductal Occluder type 1.

Methods: Prospective study of one hundred thirteen patients with perimembranous VSD (PMVSD) who referred to catheterization laboratory and underwent transcatheter closure of their defects by using Amplatzer Ductal Occluder type 1 device. Routine right and left heart catheterization was performed with evaluation of the pulmonary and systemic pressure. All the procedures were done under fluoroscopy and transthoracic echocardiography guide.  Follow up evaluations were done between 1 month and 12 months after discharge (mean 4.5 ± 1.13 months) with transthoracic echocardiography and 12 lead electrocardiography.

Results: The age of patients range from 2 to 34 years at procedure (mean 10.60 ± 7.31 years), weight range from 10 to 85 kg (mean 32.38 ± 19.70 kg). The mean echocardiographic defect size was 5.69 ± 1.63 mm and the mean angiographic size was 5.89 ± 1.70 mm. The devices size used range from 6/4 – 16/14 mm. The most common device used was 10/8. The ADOs were successfully implanted in 108 patients (95.6 %). The VSD occlusion rate was 85.2% at completion of the procedure, rising up to 90.7 % next day at discharge, 93.5% at one month and 97.2% at 6 months during follow-up. Two patients (1.9%) developed CAVB, one case within 24 hours and the other case after 2 days of the procedure, they were admitted in hospital treated by temporary pacemaker implantation, steroids and NSAIDs (high dose aspirin) with complete remission within 5 days. Conclusion: Transcatheter closure of PMVSD with ADO1 in children is a safe and effective treatment associated with excellent success and closure rates and with no significant adverse events, but long-term follow-up in a large number of patients would be warranted.

Published: July 2022

Leadership is an important factor in building collaborative governance, even leadership capacity would also affect the effectiveness of ongoing collaborations. This study aims to describe the map of leadership and collaborative governance studies through a Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) over a period of 5 years. This period was chosen in connection with the transition period from Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs.) The literature studies that were conducted cover the years of 2013 to 2018. The results showed that research on leadership and collaborative governance varied greatly and it was necessary to do a mapping to see the trends. The most widely used research method is qualitative, and the trend of publication shows a very significant decline, especially in 2013-2018. Based on these results, research on leadership with a focus on collaborative governance research is important to be carried out in order to produce various innovations and scientific development (body of knowledge).

Authors: Omodunbi Olumide O. , Olawole Oluwadamilare S. , Mohammed Jimoh B.
Published: July 2022

The research establishes that land borders closure by the Nigerian government against other neighboring African countries due to smuggling and illegal business trades affecting the unstable economy of the country calls for a radical change which determines whether the closure of the land borders affected the growth and development of the Nigerian Economy, as it also determined measures to mitigate the challenges of smuggling in Nigeria. The study made use of data mainly obtained from secondary sources which were acquired from books, articles, journals, newspapers and other published materials. The study uncovers that the closure of the land borders had certain consequences which negates Nigeria’s international trade treaties and economy as certain African countries backfired against Nigeria due to the land border closure. Furthermore, the study observed that the Nigerian Economy is still faced with the problem of inflation as a result of high reliance on foreign and imported products, but since the land borders were closed, job opportunities were created and local industries have developed, thereby leading to increase in the production of locally-made goods which aids the growth and development of the Nigerian Economy. The study recommends that the Nigerian government should invest highly on local entrepreneurs and the Agricultural sector as this will encourage foreign and local investments aimed towards the progress of the Nigerian Economy.
Fedor Sologub in English-Language Anthologies: 1915-1950
Authors: Merrill Jason
Published: July 2022

The history of the reception of the Russian Symbolist movement in English begins in the 1890s. Readers in Great Britain and the United States could read about the Russian Symbolist Fedor Sologub long before any of his works were translated into English. During World War I and a parallel wave of interest in Russia, Sologub is one of the most popular Russian writers in the English-speaking world. Some of his poetry and prose works are translated into English and during the years 1915-1950 are included in no fewer than 28 Englishlanguage anthologies. During the first years of this period, almost all of his prose that is accessible to English readers is selected and translated by two translators, John Cournos and Stephen Graham. His poetry, on the other hand, is selected and translated by several translators over the course of this entire period. Anthologies with works by Sologub appear in two main waves: from 1915 until the middle of the 1920s, and in the 1940s after the outbreak of WWII. These anthologies demonstrate how Sologub was presented to English-speaking audiences during these years. This article examines English-language anthologies from this period, comparing what, if anything, is said about Sologub in their introductions to the works by Sologub they include. Some presented him as the quintessential decadent, while others tried to show the various sides of Sologub’s works. It is often the case in anthologies that the opinions of Sologub presented by editors are not supported by the works by Sologub these same editors selected for inclusion. The article ends with three bibliographical appendices listing Sologub’s anthologized poetry and prose and the anthologies that included them.
Bakhtin as a Bearer of the Russian Tradition: On the Current Status of the Reception of Bakhtin’s Thought in China
Authors: Ma Mengqiu
Published: July 2022

This article aims to study the current status of the reception of Bakhtin’s thought in China. The choice of this period is explained by the fact that in recent decades Chinese researchers have begun to search for the origins of Bakhtin’s thought. While some have insisted on a Western origin of Bakhtin’s theories, most Chinese scholars have linked Bakhtin’s thought with the Slavic tradition and the Russian Orthodox Church, in particular, with the concept of “sobornost”. This opened up new opportunities for further research. In this article, the author gives an overview of the research on the relationship between Bakhtin’s thought and the Russian tradition, noting that Chinese scholars’ research in this area is focused on various aspects: some discuss the influence of the idea of “sobornost” on the creative consciousness of Dostoevsky, the structure of literary works and Bakhtin’s polyphonic thought; others write about the phenomenon of “carnival” as a Russian phenomenon in Bakhtin; while others talk about Christian anthropology and psychology in Bakhtin’s works, or make a comparative analysis of Bakhtin’s thought and Western philosophy. This article shows how M.M. Bakhtin was perceived from another perspective and cultural tradition, which enriched his ideas with new meanings and connotations. Based on the analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that the concept of “sobornost” has similarities with collectivism, which has historically developed as a traditional value of the Chinese people. Therefore, Chinese scholars easily understood the concept of “sobornost”.
Revising the Assessment of Creative Competence of Journalism Students
Authors: Gavrilov Viktor V.
Published: July 2022

This study proposes an effective development methodology for evaluating the creativity of journalism students. Within the framework of university education, it is proposed to focus the attention of teachers on creating a special educational environment (media park), where progressive forms and methods of teaching, game methods are used systematically, in the context of the ecology of media processes. The peculiarity of the methodology is that at the end of the educational process (the creation of a specific media product by the students), its effectiveness is measured by comparing the initial and final indicators of the creative competence of student journalists. The author proposes to use S. Mednik’s speech-thinking creativity test, which is based on an assessment of the level of development of the student’s thinking and speech in their relationship, which is extremely important for future journalists. The article presents the results of the practical application of this type of assessment. The relevance and novelty of the problematic are due to the following circumstances. On the one hand, active forms and methods of teaching, including project activities, are widely used in universities, on the other hand, the methodology for assessing the creative competence of students is currently not well developed and is practically not used in the curriculum. It should also be recognized that the assessment of this competence and the products of creativity in general, which, of course, includes a journalistic text, is complex and ambiguous, since it is influenced by a large number of subjective factors. This article proposes one of the ways to resolve this contradiction.
Verbal Claim vs. Actual Usage of Social Media: A Case Study of Indians Aged 50 Years and Above
Authors: Prachi D. , Singh Chandrakant P. , Volkova Irina I.
Published: July 2022

Studies have revealed how millennials use social networking sites (SNS) but users aged 50 years and above have not been studied by SNS researchers in India. This paper attempts to study the verbal claim and actual content created by Indians’ aged 50 years and above on Facebook (Facebook, hereafter referred to as the “Social Media” or “SM”, is restricted by the Russian media regulator Roskomnadzor) using a comparative research design. The study was carried out by selecting one hundred profiles of Monthly Active Users (MAU) of Social Media (SM) qualifying the age criteria. Empirical evidence for comparison was drawn by conducting: a. guided telephonic interview to know MAU’s claimed SM usage and b. quantitative content analysis to identify MAU’s actual SM activity. The results show that the participant’s claims of their SM activity do not support their actual usage of the platform. The variables studied and compared include the ‘source’, ‘context’ and ‘features used’ to write the content. Conclusions reveal the dilemmas and SNS usage related preferences of older age groups in India. The study highlights the need and scope for training the older generation(s) about using SNS. Such vocational training would help them conveniently adopt and use networked technologies for communication and recreational purposes.

Published: July 2022

Insufficient knowledge of antibiotic indications and side effects results in its misuse. This study aimed to investigate parents’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) on antibiotic use for their children who have flu-like symptoms. This was a cross-sectional survey study. Data was collected via an updated validated questionnaire that was developed by the study authors based on a literature  review  of previous  similar  studies.  The questionnaire  was sent electronically  through  social  media  and targeted only parents having children aged <16 years old. A total of 448 parents were included in the study, 86.4% of them were females. The highest percentage of the participants (40%) has three or more children and 36.2% of them have medical insurance. Almost two-thirds (62.9%) of the parents have scored poor level of knowledge, 24.1% have intermediate  knowledge, and only 13% have good knowledge.  Only 132 (29.5%) of the parents know that antibiotics are used against bacterial infections. Most parents (75%) reported that their choice of antibiotics should depend on doctor consultation. Twenty-seven percent of the parents reported that they purchased antibiotics without a prescription in the past 12 months. Saving time and effort was the main reason for antibiotics self-medication (26.1%). About 86% of parents stated that they don’t switch antibiotics without counseling their pediatrician. 300 parents (67%) reported that they stopped antibiotics at the end of the treatment course. Most of the respondents (82.4%)  reported  that they never keep remnants  of antibiotics  and reuse them. Over 88% of parents reported  keeping liquid antibiotics  in  the  fridge.  The  results  of  the  current  study  revealed  that  parents  lack  sufficient  knowledge  about  antibiotic indications and the risk of antibiotic resistance. However, they showed an acceptable attitude and good practices. Therefore, such results  enlighten  the  need  for  interventional  programs  imparting  education  and  changing  the  attitude  of  parents  regarding antibiotic use.
Efficient photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes with Ag doped ZnO nanoparticles under UV light irradiation
Authors: M. Senthil Kumar  , C. Arunagir
Published: July 2022

Semiconductor based photocatalyst for degradation of cationic and anionic dye pollutants under UV light was demonstrated for wastewater treatment. In the present work, un-doped and Ag (mol% = 0, 0.05, 0.075 and 0.1)-doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern confirms that the samples are found to be of highly crystalline hexagonal wurtzite structure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image reveals that the morphology of the doped ZnO nanoparticles are highly affected by the addition of silver (Ag). Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) and energydispersive spectra (EDS) demonstrates the presence of Ag in the ZnO lattice. UV–Vis absorption spectra shows that the Agdoped ZnO nanoparticles exhibit a red-shift with reduced bandgap energy compared with un-doped ZnO nanoparticles. Hence, our aim is to find the effect of Ag- doping in ZnO nanoparticles for the improvement of photocatalytic degradation. The photocatalytic activities of these Ag-doped nanoparticles were evaluated by measuring the rate of photo-degradation reaction of hazardous methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) dye under UV-light irradiation. Photocatalytic efficiency in the degradation of MB and MO dyes was compared with the efficiency of un-doped ZnO. The effects of various factors like solution pH, photocatalytic dosage and UV irradiation time with concentration of MB and MO on photocatalytic degradation were studied. It was found that cationic dyes shows better photo-degradation than the anionic dyes. The main objective of the present work was optimizing the various factor for better photocatalytic activity, complete mineralization and evaluating the photocatalytic-degradation mechanism.
Rereading Sayyid Quṭb’s Islamism and Political Concept of al-Ḥākimiyyah: A Critical Analysis
Authors: Muktafi Muktafi , Al Haidary Abdullah Haq , Zamzami Mukhammad
Published: July 2022

This article analyzes Islamism and Sayyid Quṭb’s political concept of al-Ḥākimiyyah. According to Qutb, Islamism is a political structure and a part of the Muslim faith. Employing a theoretical perspective of the functions of interpretation proposed by Jorge J. E. Gracia, this analysis found out that Quṭb’s al-Ḥākimiyyah is the most vital concept behind the phenomenon around global religious fundamentalism. This theory promotes a political structure believed to be emanated from God’s will and not merely from the people’s sovereignty. The idea of al-Ḥākimiyyah ignores any laws and systems of values made by human being. In other words, people who attempt to go against the theory will be considered rebelling against the Qur’an and Hadith and assumed to be the enemy. By analyzing through the functional theory of text interpretation of Quṭb’s ideology, this article challenges the narrative of Quṭb’s Islamism and al-Ḥākimiyyah, which presents a very arrogant face of Islam and cannot accept differences in thought. Islamism, through the framework of al-Ḥākimiyyah, is a political structure, not a faith structure. Nevertheless, this kind of Islamism is not merely political, but what Bassam Tibi called religionized politics. Quṭb’s ideological proposal is a real example of the religious doctrine of global fundamentalism. Quṭb’s ideas are the specific interpretation of Islam but not necessarily Islam: it is a political ideology different from Islam’s teaching.
From Political Parties to Cultural Organizations : Indonesian Islamic Movements during the New Order
Authors: (Corresponding Author) Imron Rosidi (Corresponding Author)
Published: July 2022

The development of political Islam in Indonesia has been characterized by severe tension between Muslim intellectuals and ‘secular’ intellectuals. Since Indonesian independence to the Old Order, Muslim intellectuals focused on struggling the political Islam by establishing political parties and proposing Islam as the state foundation. This article aims to describe political Islam in the Indonesian New Order. This article uses historical approach and qualitative methods. In fact, the New Order regime had a negative view of political Islam. This view follows from its policy which prohibited Islamic parties. The New Order emphasized national stability, as well as economic development, as its main policies. The economic development under the New Order regime led to a new crop of Muslim intellectuals. This new generation of Muslim intellectuals was different from the older generation. They preferred strengthening their role in non-political organizations to playing a role in political parties.
O corpo masculino enquanto estratégia feminista
Authors: Lima Gabriela Massote
Published: July 2022

O artigo O corpo masculino enquanto estratégia feminista trata da criação de imagens do corpo masculino produzidas por artistas mulheres após os anos 70, examinadas enquanto método consciente utilizado para transformar os estereótipos da representação do nu masculino, historicamente construída pelo próprio olhar masculino, sujeito dominante no discurso histórico. O olhar feminino para as representações do corpo masculino somado às teorias de gênero permitem avançar nas discussões referentes às relações sociais pré-determinadas e questionar as próprias prerrogativas institucionais da história da arte que levaram à exclusão de artistas mulheres enquanto produtoras relegando-as a papéis secundários segundo códigos visuais, sociais e sexuais tradicionais.

Mergers and acquisitions and the CEO: Tenure and outcomes
Authors: Garrow Nigel , Awolowo Ifedapo Francis
Published: July 2022

Tenure is an important component of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) outcomes, as highlighted in this study and recent studies by Zhao (2022) and Bilgili, Calderon, Allen, and Kedia (2017). Research on top management teams (TMTs) has found that a good work relationship between senior managers enhances team cohesiveness, communication, and firm performance. This study explores the impact of the joint tenure of the chairperson and the CEO on M&A outcomes. We utilised the resource-based view (RBV), upper echelon theory, and season of tenure theory as theoretical lenses to explore joint tenure’s potential impact on M&A outcomes. Through a long-event window research methodology, which examines the cumulative abnormal returns to the acquirer’s shareholders for a period of three years following the completion date, this study found that the length of the period of joint tenure of the chairperson and CEO in acquiring firms was significantly positively correlated with the cumulative abnormal return (CAR) to acquiring firm shareholders during the three years following completion of an acquisition (CARB). Although this study has utilised 47 acquisitions in Australia from the period from 1990 up to the global financial crisis, our findings are quite revealing. They have contributed to the limited study on joint tenure

Published: July 2022

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequent forms of malignant tumors in the human population. The literature data about the role of arginine metabolism in CRC point out its double-faced role. In three tissue specimens of 50 patients who underwent surgical resection for colon adenocarcinoma (tumor, adjacent and healthy tissues more than 10 cm from the tumor border ? at the incision margin) taken during surgery, polyamines and the concentration of NO2+NO3 and arginase activity were determined. Polyamine levels and arginase activity were significantly increased in cancer and adjacent tissue specimens compared to healthy ones, while the level of NO2+NO3 was significantly lower in cancer compared to both adjacent and healthy tissues. The high polyamine content in the adjacent colonic mucosa indicates a high proliferative potential of tumor-adjacent tissue. Although we found individual correlations indicating the possible prognostic value of arginase, the performed statistical analysis did not show a predictive significance of arginase activity in the examined tissue specimens for five-year survival of the patients. Nevertheless, the obtained results provide the rationale for further studies of arginine metabolism in tissue specimens after surgery in patients with CRC, which could be useful in the evaluation of the risk for tumor growth, recurrence, metastases and survival after surgical intervention.
Fifty years of microprocessor evolution: from single CPU to multicore and manycore systems
Authors: Nikolic Goran , Dimitrijevic Bojan , Nikolic Tatjana , Stojcev Mile
Published: July 2022

Nowadays microprocessors are among the most complex electronic systems that
man has ever designed. One small silicon chip can contain the complete
processor, large memory and logic needed to connect it to the input-output
devices. The performance of today's processors implemented on a single chip
surpasses the performance of a room-sized supercomputer from just 50 years
ago, which cost over $ 10 million [1]. Even the embedded processors found in
everyday devices such as mobile phones are far more powerful than computer
developers once imagined. The main components of a modern microprocessor are
a number of general-purpose cores, a graphics processing unit, a shared
cache, memory and input-output interface and a network on a chip to
interconnect all these components [2]. The speed of the microprocessor is
determined by its clock frequency and cannot exceed a certain limit. Namely,
as the frequency increases, the power dissipation increases too, and
consequently the amount of heating becomes critical. So, silicon
manufacturers decided to design new processor architecture, called multicore
processors [3]. With aim to increase performance and efficiency these
multiple cores execute multiple instructions simultaneously. In this way,
the amount of parallel computing or parallelism is increased [4]. In spite
of mentioned advantages, numerous challenges must be addressed carefully
when more cores and parallelism are used. This paper presents a review of
microprocessor microarchitectures, discussing their generations over the
past 50 years. Then, it describes the currently used implementations of the
microarchitecture of modern microprocessors, pointing out the specifics of
parallel computing in heterogeneous microprocessor systems. To use
efficiently the possibility of multi-core technology, software applications
must be multithreaded. The program execution must be distributed among the
multi-core processors so they can operate simultaneously. To use
multi-threading, it is imperative for programmer to understand the basic
principles of parallel computing and parallel hardware. Finally, the paper
provides details how to implement hardware parallelism in multicore systems.
Creating and testing the effectiveness of hypothetical scenarios which elicit anger and hurt in romantic relational contexts
Authors: Ursu Andreea , Turliuc Maria , Măirean Cornelia
Published: July 2022

Researchers interested in emotions and romantic relationships have long been struggling to find efficient and reliable emotion elicitation techniques. In this article, we present the work of creating and testing the effectiveness of hypothetical scenarios that elicit anger and hurt in romantic relational contexts. In study one, two hypothetical scenarios for each emotion were created using the most frequent categories of recalled affective events. Further on, we tested their effectiveness in eliciting anger or hurt in three different phases. In study two, 337 participants, aged between 18 and 40 (M = 19.93; SD = 3.17), read the scenarios and rated them according to several criteria such as arousal, discreteness, positive and negative induced affectivity. We found that our hypothetical scenarios were effective on discreteness, arousal, and positive and negative affect for eliciting anger and hurt in the contexts of romantic relationships.

Kondisi wabah virus corona (Covid-19) yang memasuki Indonesia membuat beberapa daerah di wilayah Indonesia menerapkan pembatasan sosial berskala besar. Penerapan ini membatasi masyarakat dari aktivitas sosial atau kerumunan, sehingga para pekerja dan pelajar melaksakan work from home dan school from home. Kondisi ini tentu mempengaruhi berkurangnya aktivitas kendaraan bermotor, yang tentunya akan mempengaruhi kadar polutan di udara khususnya PM10. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh dari penerapan pembatasan sosial terhadap parameter PM10 di wilayah Serpong. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah dengan membandingkan data PM10 dan parameter meteorologis pada bulan Februari 2020, yaitu sebelum diterapkan Pembatasan sosial dan Maret 2020, yaitu sesudah diterapkan Pembatasan sosial. Data-data tersebut kemudian dianalisis secara temporal dan spasial menggunakan package openair pada perangkat lunak R-studio. Berdasarkan hasil analisis didapatkan kondisi PM10 yang relatif lebih tinggi pada bulan Maret 2020 dibandingkan pada bulan Februari 2020. Hal ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa kondisi pembatasan sosial tidak mempengaruhi paramater PM10 di wilayah Serpong dan kondisi meteorologis lebih mempengaruhi persebaran dari PM10.

Differential equations of a nonlinear multipolar element
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Tchaban Vasyl
Published: July 2022

A method for forming nonlinear diffe­rential equations of a multipololar element, which connect its independent pole currents and independent polar voltages, is proposed. The difficulty of the analysis is that some of the internal and external unknowns may be under the symbol of differentiation. The starting infor­mation for this formation is the common differential equations of the system of internal and external currents and voltages. The method is demonstrated on the case of formation of the corresponding differential equations of the system as such that is formed by bipolar elements. The analysis is significantly simplified in the presence of internal D-dege­nerations of the system or resistive circuits.
The shift of the constant energy level after the interaction of particles with the polarizing phonons
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Tovstyuk Сornelija
Published: July 2022

The shift of the electron energy level due to its interaction with the polarizing phonons is investigated here for the particles whose energy does not depend on the wave vector. We also analyze the influence of the value of the constant of electron - phonon interaction and other parameters of the problem on the electron energy change. The methods of Green's functions, presented by the the Feynman diagrams and using the double permutations, are present here. The paper contains the analysis of the columns of the corresponding double permutations, the analytical expressions of which form the mass operator presented by the chain fractions. We received the expressions for admissibles and inadmissibles columns for phonon components of double permutations. The numerical calculations allow to conclude about the energy shift and how it depends on the parameters.

Indonesia is an agricultural country with more than 30 million farmers nationwide most of it with poor disease management. An identification of a pathogen is the first step to establish efficient management strategies for disease control. In this study, we survey the diversity of oomycetes in horticulture. Samples were collected from 19 sites around Lampung, Sumatera and Java Islands. The oomycetes were isolated from rhizosphere soils sample and from symptomatic plants tissues. One hundred and twelve isolates belonging to two Phytophthora spp., three Pythium spp., and one Phytophythium sp. were identified. Phytophthora nicotianae was a predominant species from pineapple but also found in cabbage, chilli, and chrysanthemum. P. colocasiae were isolated from taro in central java, Phytopythium vexans were isolated from potato in Central Java, while Pythium acanthophoron, Py. myriotylum, Py. splendens, and Py. catenulatum were isolated from soil in pineapple farms.

Pesantren merupakan lembaga pendidikan tertua di Indonesia, dan bahkan pesantren juga memiliki andil yang cukup signifikan dalam perjuangan kemerdekaan Indonesia. Akan tetapi, pesantren tetap harus mengikuti perubahan-perubahan di era ini. Pesantren dituntut untuk tampil dalam persaingan dunia pasar bebas (free market), belum lagi sejumlah perkembangan lain yang terbungkus dalam dinamika masyarakat yang juga berujung pada pertanyaan tentang resistensi (ketahanan), responsibilitas (tanggung jawab), kapabilitas (kemampuan), dan kecanggihan pondok pesantren dalam tuntutan perubahan besar. Oleh karena itu, Pesantren tidak lepas dengan pengelolaan (manajemen) pondok pesantren. Pondok pesantren sebagai lembaga pendidikan swasta yang memiliki ciri khas yang mandiri, maka ia lebih leluasa untuk dapat mengadakan inovasi dalam rangka mewujudkan relevansi pendidikan dengan perkembangan Iptek, jika pesantren ini dikelola secara profesional dalam bidangnya masing-masing dan didukung oleh manajemen yang tangguh, maka kehadirannya di tengah-tengah masyarakat akan dapat dibanggakan. Sesuatu menarik untuk dikaji dan diteliti secara mendalam kaitannya dengan tipologi dan perkembangan pesantren seperti diuraikan di atas yakni Pesantren Nurul Iman Parung Bogor memiliki perkembangan baru dalam dunia pesantren. Pesantren ini mempunyai keunikan dan karakteristik tersendiri dibandingkan dengan pesantren lainnya yaitu dengan memiliki 3 fokus di dalam pengelolaannya yakni kepependidikan, kepesantrenan, dan wirausaha.Kata Kunci: Manajemen, Pengelolaan, Pesantren

Published: July 2022

Batik Tulis Tengah Sawah merupakan salah satu UKM yang terdapat di Pacitan dan bergerak dalam bidang kerajinan batik tulis. Dalam proses produksi, pembatik melakukan proses canting dengan posisi duduk pada kursi pendek (dingklik) terbuat dari kayu tanpa sandaran punggung. Kompor yang digunakan untuk melelehkan malam berukuran kecil dan tidak terdapat meja untuk meletakkan kompor serta digunakan oleh 2 pembatik sehingga mengharuskan pembatik duduk serong menghadap gawangan dan menyebabkan pembatik duduk dengan keadaan sedikit membungkuk. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan perbaikan mengenai fasilitas kerja dan stasiun kerja proses canting. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengevaluasi postur kerja pembatik dan melakukan perancangan usulan stasiun kerja proses canting bagi pembatik. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan lima tahap, yaitu penilaian level risiko postur kerja, perancangan usulan kursi pembatik, perancangan usulan meja kompor, perancangan usulan gawangan dan perancangan usulan stasiun kerja proses canting. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah kursi pembatik dengan fitur sandaran punggung, busa duduk, sandaran tangan dan wadah tempat minum. Meja kompor digunakan untuk menambah ketinggian kompor dan gawangan untuk menyesuaikan dengan ketinggian pembatik ketika duduk di kursi pembatik. Serta perancangan stasiun kerja untuk menciptakan stasiun kerja lebih tertata dan memberikan kenyamanan pembatik selama proses canting sehingga dapat meminimasi postur tubuh membungkuk.
