Published: July 2019

Disasters every year proclaim life of thousands and destruct infrastructures worth billions worldwide. Moreover, the developing countries are more prone to hazards as they are found to be lagging in early preparedness regarding the consequences of disaster. Nepal, in the wake of the 7.8 magnitude 2015 Gorkha Earthquake had to face devastating effects as the country lost nearly ten-thousand lives and structures accounting 6.69 billion US$ (NRA, 2016). Private Housing, one of the subordinates of social sector, faced the colossal damage, making the dwellers bound to take shelter under the makeshift tents. To that end, government has adopted owner driven approach for reconstruction and it is advancing in an amplified way. Since the rural terrains with low strength masonry had to face shattering effects, the reconstruction demands their construction with incorporation of seismic resistant components. The technique of construction since significantly differs than the primitive way, diverse modes of assistance is required by house owners to make their buildings codal compliant, which is also linked with obtaining subsidy. Not only reconstruction is a technical process, rather it is also a blend of economic, social and cross cutting issues. Having said that, the paper aims to study a multidimensional approach of socio-technical assistance (STA) through the study of different cases of ongoing post-earthquake reconstruction. The paper studies the impacts of socio-technical assistance being provided at various earthquake affected areas to understand what aspects of socio-technical assistance are aiding in the current reconstruction process. In conclusion, the paper identifies the core areas of sociotechnical assistance that is required in the aftermath of a disaster and how the current institutional structure can be modified to enhance the quality of socio-technical assistance being provided through various government and non-government agencies.

Authors: Gadtaula Arishma , Dhakal Subodh
Published: July 2019

The 2015 Gorkha Earthquake resulted in many other secondary hazards affecting the livelihoods of local people residing in mountainous area. Plenty of earthquake induced landslides and mass movement activities were observed after earthquake. Haku region of Rasuwa was also one of the severely affected areas by co-seismic landslides triggered by the disastrous earthquake. Statistics shows that around 400 families were relocated from Haku Post-earthquake (MoFA, 2015). A total of 101 co-seismic landslides were focused during the study and were verified during the fieldwork in Haku village. The conditioning factors used in this study were slope, aspect, elevation, curvature (plan and profile), landuse, geology and PGA. The conditioning factor maps were prepared in GIS working environment and further analysis was conducted with the assistance of Google earth. This study used Weight of Evidence (WoE), a bivariate statistical model and its performance was assessed. The susceptibility map was further characterized into five different classes namely very low, low, high, medium and very high susceptibility zones. The statistical analysis obtained from the results of the susceptibility map prepared by using WoE model gave the results that maximum area percentage of landslide distribution was observed in medium and high susceptibility classes i.e. 38% and 33% followed by very high (13%), low (10%) and very low classes (5.8%) About 25% of the total landslides are separated to validate the prepared model used in the landslide susceptibility zonation. The overlay method predicts the reliability of the model.
A influência da dinâmica urbana e a ocupação de áreas inundáveis no bairro Magoanine-A (Moçambique): uma reflexão sobre o zoneamento ambiental
Authors: Bernardo Bernardino José
Published: July 2019

Introdução: Estudiosos apontam que o uso mais notório e que mais altera os processos morfodinâmicos é o urbano, e que muitas vezes está associado à decorrência de desastres naturais (inundações, cheias, erosão). O presente artigo visa analisar o processo de ocupação de áreas inundáveis no bairro de Magoanine-A. O estudo apoiou-se na abordagem qualitativa alicerçada nos seguintes métodos e técnicas: revisão bibliográfica e cartográfica, observação directa, questionário, análise e síntese. Diante disto, foi possível perceber que o processo de apropriação do relevo local por habitações intensifica os processos morfodinâmicos ocasionando de forma cíclica inundações nos relevos mais baixos. O estudo sugere a alteração do uso habitacional para o uso ecológico.
Evaluation of a Brazilian simulator for virtual reality behavior therapy
Authors: Zacarin Marcela Roberta Jacyntho , Borloti Elizeu , Haydu Verônica Bender
Published: July 2019

Behavioral therapy combined with a virtual reality exposure (VRE) component can be useful for the treatment of fears and phobias. This study aimed to: (a) describe and evaluate a behavioral therapy procedure amplified by VRE for the treatment of fear of height and (b) record sense of presence and cybersickness during exposure to assess the Virtua Therapy simulator. The procedure consisted of: an initial session; six therapy sessions, which included graduate exposure, prevention of escape-avoidance responses, and functional analyses of behaviors; two follow-up sessions. Sense of presence and cybersickness were recorded. The intervention decreased the participants’ levels of anxiety and the frequency of avoidance of situations involving heights in the virtual environment, and they reported decreases in day-to-day avoidance responses, demonstrating therapeutic effects. The simulator produced sense of presence. Cybersickness occurred primarily during the first session, indicating habituation effect. It was concluded that the Virtua Therapy simulator is an appropriate device for behavioral therapy.
Comparison of HemoFoam® and Conventional Gauze Dressing on Hemostasis of Vascular Access Site in Hemodialysis Patients
Authors: Bizari Davood , Khoshmohabat Hadi , Salahshour Kordestani Soheila , Zarepur Rouhollah
Published: July 2019

Background: Dialysis access puncture wound bleeding after needle extraction at the end of each hemodialysis session is a very important problem. This study evaluated the effect of HemoFoam® compared to conventional gauze dressing on hemostasis of dialysis access puncture wound bleeding in hemodialysis patients. Materials and Methods: This one-group, before-after, clinical-trial was conducted on 60 hemodialysis patients selected by convenience sampling who underwent hemodialysis through arteriovenous fistula in Shahid Rahnemoon Hospital, Yazd, Iran in 2017. After reviewing the eligibility criteria, the study was performed in two separate sessions. In the first session, only HemoFoam® was used while in the second session; the only conventional dressing was used. Time of hemostasis in each puncture wound was evaluated. Data were analyzed by SPSS 22 (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Armonk, NY: IBM Corp, United States) using paired T-test and Chi-square tests. Results: The mean age of the patients was 55.20±14.25 years. Hemostasis was achieved in 76.6% of cases at the arterial access site in the first two minutes in the HemoFoam® group. The mean homeostasis time in the HemoFoam® group was 2.86±1.87 min at the venous access site and 3.15±1.97 min at the arterial access site (P<0.001). The mean homeostasis time in the conventional dressing group was 10.54±6.65 min at venous access site and 12.74±9.28 min at the arterial access site, which was significantly different between the two groups (P<0.001). Conclusion: HemoFoam® is effective in reducing the time of homeostasis in the vascular access site of hemodialysis patients. Therefore, its use in hemodialysis wards is recommended for hemostasis in the dialysis access puncture wound bleeding. [GMJ.2019;8:e1395]
From Security to Peace and Concord
Authors: Visentin Stefano
Published: July 2019

The aim of this article is to discuss how Spinoza’s Theological- Political Treatise and Political Treatise deal with the development of a free and pacific commonwealth, taking into account both a comparison with the irenic tradition of Erasmus and the original position of Spinoza’s republicanism within the Dutch context of that period. To approach this issue, comparing Spinoza’s idea of security with the Hobbesian one can also be useful in order to demonstrate that security and freedom are not antithetical in Spinoza (differently from Hobbes) but rather support each other. Consequently, the role of peace and concord within the Political Treatise shall be considered the result of a collective self-emendation process of social interactions and political institutions. In this perspective, Spinoza’s concept of peace seems a very original attempt to build a free political community, where democratic institutions are both the cause and effect of pacific (i.e., rational and harmonious, although not necessarily irenic) relationships among citizens.
Peace and Reason of State in the Confucius Sinarum philosophus (1687)
Authors: Canaris Daniel
Published: July 2019

A persistent feature in Jesuit reports about the late Ming and early Qing was the notion that an enduring peace and concord pervaded the Chinese political system. Although the Jesuits did not invent this association, which was rooted in Greco-Roman historiography, the Jesuit encyclopaedist Antonio Possevino (1533–1611) was the first to link the ‘perpetual peace’ (perpetua pax) and ‘supreme concord’ (summa concordia) of the Chinese state to the Confucian intellectual tradition. As the Jesuits’ missionary strategy developed under the tutelage of Matteo Ricci (1552–1610), ‘public peace’ (pax publica) and ‘the calm of the Republic’ (Republica quies) came to be perceived as the ultimate purpose of the Confucian precepts and one of the hinges on which the aims of Christianity, Confucianism and natural law can be reconciled. The supreme expression of the link between Confucianism and peace can be found in the Confucius Sinarum philosophus (1687), which presented for the first time an accessible translation of three of the four Confucian classics. Yet while retaining the view that pre-Qin Confucianism espoused peace as a central political aim, the Confucius Sinarum philosophus challenged the view that contemporary China could be regarded as a utopic actualization of Confucian peace. This paper will discuss this shift as an attempt to coopt the Chinese political experience as an argument against the pragmatic political philosophy known as ‘reason of state’, which was perceived by Jesuit thinkers as atheistic and immoral.
Faith, Reason and Peace in Lessing's Late Works
Authors: Moir Cat
Published: July 2019

This article argues that G. E. Lessing should be viewed as one of the German Enlightenment’s foremost thinkers of peace alongside his contemporary Immanuel Kant, whose contribution to thinking peace in the eighteenth century is already well recognised. It makes this case by examining two of Lessing’s late works: the 1779 drama Nathan the Wise and the 1780 essay The Education of the Human Race. The dialogue between faith and reason characteristic of Enlightenment discourse is at the heart of both texts, but here it is argued that peace is a crucial third moment. While in Nathan Lessing asserts the need to find peace between the forces of faith and reason in a literary register, in the Education essay he does so in a more explicitly theoretical mode.
Conjugational types in Croatian
Authors: Jelaska Zrinka , Bošnjak Botica Tomislava
Published: July 2019

This paper analyses a new classification of verb conjugation types in Croatian, which is based on both their canonical form – the infinitive, which is the non-finite verbal form par excellence, and the basic form – the present, which is on the other end of the finiteness scale. The first chapter provides a brief overview of Croatian conjugational typology, starting from the grammar by B. Kašić (1604) until the most recent grammars by Silić and Pranjković (2005), as well as Jelaska (2015), ranging from one up to twenty-nine categories. The recent typologies within structuralist, generative and cognitive approaches are described in more detail, especially in Jelaska and Bošnjak Botica (2012), where prototype-based categorization is argued for as the most appropriate categorization.
The second part of the paper analyses some properties of the present classification into three groups (a, i, e) and ten types within them: the shape, productivity, size, usage and the relations between them. The data consists of 24,400 Croatian verbs, which are categorized into groups, types and subtypes. The first group has only one type as member (verbs such as gledati), the second has three members (verbs such as moliti, vidjeti and trčati), the third has six (verbs like pisati, smijati se, putovati, davati, viknuti, ići).

Роль генетичного дослідження мутацій гена гормону росту в діагностиці синдрому біологічно неактивного гормону росту в дітей
Authors: Sprinchuk N.A. , Bolshova O.V. , Dosenko V.Ye.
Published: July 2019

Мета. Визначити роль генетичного дослідження мутацій гена гормону росту в діагностиці синдрому біологічно неактивного гормону росту (СБНГР) для уточнення його форми та призначення патогенетичного лікування. Матеріали та методи. Обстежено 153 дитини (61 дівчинка та 92 хлопчики) віком від 3 до 10 років із відставанням у рості понад мінус 2 SD від фізіологічних показників. Соматотропну функцію досліджували за допомогою фармакологічних проб. Для підтвердження СБНГР проводили чотириденну пробу на чутливість до ГР. У 50 дітей із підтвердженим СБНГР визначали наявність мутації D112G у гені ГР методом полімеразної ланцюгової реакції. Результати. У пацієнтів із СБНГР виявлено характерні гормональні порушення — низький рівень інсуліноподібного чинника росту 1 (ІЧР‑1) на тлі нормального рівня ГР та індексу маси тіла (ІМТ) не нижче від 50-ї перцентилі для даного віку та статі. За результатами дослідження наявності заміни в гені ГР (С475→Т, Asp138→Gly) у цілому по групі обстежених із СБНГР не виявлено: генотип усіх пацієнтів — С/С (Asp/Asp). Висновки. У дітей України, хворих на СБНГР, генетичне дослідження не виявило мутації D112G у гені ГР. Основними критеріями діагностики СБНГР є нормальний або підвищений рівень ГР і знижений — ІЧР‑1, як правило, позитивна реакція на чутливість до ГР, ІМТ понад 50-у перцентиль, відсутність соматичної патології. Для остаточного генетичного підтвердження СБНГР інформативним буде секвенування гена ГР для виявлення порушень його структури в усіх сайтах.

Селен и здоровье человека
Authors: Rakov О.V. , Muz V.A.
Published: July 2019

В обзоре дана характеристика основных путей метаболизма селена в организме человека. Показано, что основной биологической ролью селена у эукариот является его участие в синтезе и регуляции активности ряда ферментов (глутатионпероксидаз, селензависимой пероксидазы, белков семейств селенопротеинов P и W,5`-йодотирониндейодиназ, тиоредоксинредуктазы). В последние годы эндокринологи Украины стали активно назначать препараты селена при любых проблемах со щитовидной железой. Мы не являемся сторонниками такого лечения, а считаем необходимым назначение селеносодержащих препаратов только при исходно низком содержании селена в организме человека. Правильность этого мнения находит свое подтверждение и в ряде статей зарубежной литературы. В обзоре авторы сделали попытку обобщить научно обоснованную информацию о том, когда нужно принимать селен, а когда нет, и почему возникла такая практика в принципе
Anaxagoras, the thoroughgoing infinitist
Authors: Arsenijević Miloš , Popović Saša , Vuletić Miloš
Published: July 2019

In the analysis of Anaxagoras’ physics in view of the relation between his teachings on multitude and heterogeneity, two central questions emerge: 1) How can the structure of the universe considered purely mereo-topologically help us explain that at the first cosmic stage no qualitative difference is manifest in spite of the fact that the entire qualitative heterogeneity is supposedly already present there? 2) How can heterogeneity become manifest at the second stage, resulting from the noûs intervention, if according to fragment B 6 such a possibility requires the existence of “the smallest”, while according to the general principle stated in fragment B 3 there is not “the smallest” but always only “a smaller”? This paper showcases the perplexity of these two questions but deals only with the former. The answer follows from Anaxagoras’ being a thoroughgoing infinitist in the way in which no Greek physicist was: the principle of space isotropy operative in geometry is extended to physics as well. So any two parts of the original mixture are similar to each other not only in view of the smaller-larger relation but also because each contains everything that the other one contains. This in effect means that at the stage of maximal possible heterogeneity each part of any part contains infinitely many heterogeneous parts of any kind whatsoever. So, neither can there be homogeneous parts in view of any qualitative property, nor can there be predominance in quantity of parts of any kind that would make some property manifest.

ANALYSIS OF PRE-DONATION DEFERRAL REASONS AMONGST BLOOD DONORS IN VADODARA, GUJARAT.
Authors: Patel Dr. Jhalak , Dighe Dr. Milind , Kothari Dr. Farzana , Rajvanshi Dr. Rahul
Published: July 2019

Background: Blood transfusion saves lives and improves health, but many patients requiring transfusion do not have timely access to safe blood. Providing safe and adequate blood should be an integral part of every country’s national health care policy and infrastructure.

Aim: The main aim of the study was to analyze the reasons for pre-donation deferral amongst blood donors attending our blood bank and outdoor camp organized by our blood bank and to evaluate and categorize the reasons into temporary and permanent deferral.

Materials and methods: It is a Record based Retrospective Study conducted in Department of Immunohematology and blood transfusion over a period of two years from July 2015 to July 2017. The reasons of deferral were analyzed after classification into following categories, namely, temporary- permanent deferral, in-house –camp blood donors, gender-based (male -female), and various age group categories.

Results: A total of 30,022 prospective blood donors registered for blood donation out of which 2241 blood donors were deferred (7.46%) with low hemoglobin level, medication and hypertension as top three causes. The majority of deferral was seen in 18-25 years of age group which mainly comprises the youth population. The female donors were rejected eight times the male donors.

Conclusion: The knowledge of the deferral incidences and their causes in a particular region helps in deciding the magnitude and the direction of the blood donor recruitment efforts. This knowl­edge also helps in calculating the eligible and the potential blood donor pool.

Keywords: Blood Donors, Pre-Donation, Deferral, Temporary, Permanent.

Ta'zir dalam Perspektif Fiqh Jinayat
Authors: Darsi Darsi , Husairi Halil
Published: July 2019

Ta'zir adalah hukuman yang tidak ditentukan oleh al Qur'an dan hadits yang berkaitan dengan kejahatan yang melanggar hak Allah dan hak hamba yang berfungsi untuk memberi pelajaran kepada si terhukum dan mencegahnya untuk tidak mengulangi kejahatan serupa. Penentuan jenis pidana ta'zir ini diserahkan sepenuhnya kepada penguasa sesuai dengan kemaslahatan manusia. Hukuman ta'zir tidak semuanya relevan untuk diterapkan pada zaman ini, seperti hukuman jilid dan salib karena dinilai sangat keji. Sementara mengenai hukuman mati dalam ta'zir, sepanjang sejalan dengan kemaslahatan manusia maka itu diperbolehkan. Tetapi secara umum, mengenai jenis hukuman yang relevan untuk jarimah ta'zir ini harus disesuaikan dengan kejahatan yang dilakukan agar hukuman dalam suatu peraturan bisa paralel. Untuk menentukan hukuman yang relevan dan efektif, harus dipertimbangkan agar hukuman itu mengandung unsur pembalasan, perbaikan, dan perlindungan terhadap korban (Theori neo-klasik), serta dilakukan penelitian ilmiyah terlebih dahulu.
OS INSTRUMENTOS PROCESSUAIS PENAIS NO COMBATE À CORRUPÇÃO VERSUS O GARANTISMO PENAL
Authors: Schlickmann Flávio , Vargas Zanchetta Natália , Jesus Padilha Daniel
Published: July 2019

As garantias individuais de um cidadão devem ser asseguradas em todos os âmbitos, seja judicial ou extrajudicialmente, já que o Estado é fundado em uma Constituição garantista. Portanto, a presente pesquisa busca elucidar e compreender a constitucionalidade durante a persecução penal e o desenvolvimento de instrumentação processual dirigida aos crimes de corrupção. Para chegar ao desfecho utilizou-se a teoria do Garantismo, que protegem as garantias fundamentais diante da arbitrariedade do poder de punir do Estado, sendo necessário por em prática a Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil. Estuda-se a teoria do direito penal do inimigo que aponta determinado grupo de delinquentes como inimigos do Estado e estes não devem possuir garantias fundamentais. Para tal, empregou-se o método indutivo, bem como as técnicas do referente, da categoria, do conceito operacional e da pesquisa bibliográfica.

Social Inclusion Drives Business Sales: A Literature Review on the Case of the Employment of Persons With Disabilities
Authors: Miethlich Boris , Oldenburg Anett
Published: July 2019

So far companies seem to ignore the potential of persons with disabilities (PWD) as customers and as employees. Although there is some empirical evidence that PWD employment can bring many benefits to companies and that social inclusion can attract a lasting customer base. The employment of PWD and social inclusion, generally, are important social commitments of companies and should represent a central element of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy. CSR is also an interesting marketing instrument for differentiation. However, customers are more aware of productrelated CSR activities than philanthropy or sustainable business initiatives. The aim of this article is to analyze how the promotion of social inclusion, through the example of the employment of PWD, could impact directly or indirectly on business sales. The research is based on a literature review. The selected literature was evaluated regarding the impact on business sales using a deductive content analysis. The results show that social inclusion, as a CSR activity, contributes to increased sales. This is particularly important when it comes to providing services and direct customer contact. Through social inclusion, the company reflects the diversity of existing and potential customers. In this way, new customers can be acquired, customer loyalty promoted or strengthened, and, as a result, sales increased. CSR activities that are used as a marketing tool for differentiation and do not pursue the sole goal of strengthening the company's reputation can create a competitive advantage and thus secure market share, open-up new market segments and permanently increase sales.
Arterial pH and Blood Gas Values in Rats Under Three Types of General Anesthesia: a Chronobiological Study
Authors: SVORC P. , PETRÁŠOVÁ D. , SVORC P.
Published: July 2019

The aim of study was to review the status of arterial pH, pO2 and pCO2 under general anesthesias in dependence on the light-dark (LD) cycle in spontaneously breathing rats. The experiments were performed using three- to four-month-old pentobarbital(P)-, ketamine/xylazine(K/X)- and zoletil(Z)-anesthetized female Wistar rats after a four-week adaptation to an LD cycle (12 h light:12 h dark). The animals were divided into three experimental groups according to the anesthetic agent used: P (light n=11; dark n=8); K/X (light n=13; dark n=11); and Z (light n=18; dark n=26). pH and blood gases from arterial blood were analyzed. In P anesthesia, LD differences in pH, pO2, and pCO2 were eliminated. In K/X anesthesia, parameters showed significant LD differences. In Z anesthesia, LD differences were detected for pH and pO2 only. Acidosis, hypoxia, and hypercapnia have been reported for all types of anesthesia during the light period. In the dark period, except for P anesthesia, the environment was more stable and values fluctuated within normal ranges. From a chronobiological perspective, P anesthesia was not the most appropriate type of anesthesia in these rat experiments. It eliminated LD differences, and also produced a more acidic environment and more pronounced hypercapnia than K/X and Z anesthesias.
Association of Anthropometric Measurements With Oxidant-Antioxidant Status Among Young Saudi Females
Authors: LATIF R. , RAFIQUE N.
Published: July 2019

Present study aimed to explore the levels and correlation of oxidative stress biomarkers with anthropometry in a population of young Saudi females. One hundred six normotensives, non-diabetic Saudi females, with minimally active lifestyle, based on their body mass index (BMI) were divided as; normal-weight (NW; n=52), overweight (OW; n=24) and obese (OB; n=30). Anthropometric measurements [BMI, Waist Circumference (WC), Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR), Body Density (BD), Body Adiposity Index (BAI), % Body fat] and oxidative stress biomarkers; Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-2dG: indicative of DNA/RNA damage), Superoxide dismutase, Serum total antioxidant capacity) were recorded. There was statistically significant higher 8-OH-2dG (pg/ml) in OB compared to NW (800.63±6.19 vs. 780.22±3.34; p=0.007), as determined by one-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test. 8-OH-2dG was significantly and positively associated with BMI (r=0.286, p=0.004), WC (r=0.280, p=0.005), BAI (r=0.26, p=0.008), and % body fat (r=0.27, p=0.006). There may be significantly increased DNA damage in normoglycemic, normotensive obese adolescent females. This can be linked to the amount of adipose tissue in the body as depicted by strong positive association between DNA damage and BMI, WC, BAI, and % body fat.

Published: July 2019

This study investigated the value of oxygen (O2) pulse curves obtained during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Forty patients with known coronary anatomy (35.0 % normal, 27.0 % single-vessel and 38.0 % multivessel CAD) underwent CPET with radiotracer injection at peak exercise, followed by myocardial scintigraphy. O2 pulse curves were classified as: A-normal, B-probably normal (normal slope with low peak value); C-probably abnormal (flat, with low peak value); or D- definitely abnormal (descending slope). Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of the O2 pulse curve pattern (A or B vs. C or D) for the diagnosis of CAD were, respectively, 38.5 %, 81.3 %, 76.9 %, and 44.8 %. The concordance rate between the abnormal O2 pulse curve pattern and ischemia in myocardial scintigraphy was 38.1 %. Age and the extent of scintigraphic perfusion defect, but not the abnormal O2 pulse curve patterns (B or C or both combined) were independently associated with CAD. In conclusion, the O2 pulse curve pattern has low diagnostic performance for the diagnosis of obstructive CAD, and the abnormal curve pattern was not associated with myocardial ischemia defined by scintigraphy.
Effects of Beta-Hydroxy-Beta-Methylbutyrate in Partially Hepatectomized Rats
Authors: HOLEČEK M. , VODENIČAROVOVÁ M.
Published: July 2019

Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) is a leucine metabolite with protein anabolic effects. Since HMB is synthesized in the liver, unique effects of exogenous HMB intake may be hypothesized in subjects with liver disease, in which muscle wasting is frequently found. We studied effects of HMB on the liver and soleus (SOL) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles in partially-hepatectomized (PH) rats. HMB or saline was infused using osmotic pumps to PH or sham-operated rats for 7 days. We found lower body weight and protein content in EDL of PH rats treated with saline than in sham-operated animals. These effects were insignificant in HMB treated animals. In blood plasma of PH rats treated with HMB we found lower concentrations of creatinine and higher concentrations of urea and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA; valine, leucine, and isoleucine) than in PH animals treated with saline. HMB increased BCAA concentrations in SOL and EDL of PH animals and decreased proteolysis in EDL of both sham-operated and PH animals. In the livers of PH rats treated with HMB we found higher DNA content, DNA fragmentation, and BCAA concentrations than in saline-treated animals. The results indicate that HMB affects metabolism of BCAA and has positive influence on protein balance in muscles. Further studies are needed to clarify the effect of HMB on liver regeneration.

Penelitian ini merupakan Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa dalam bahasa Arab terutama keterampilan al-Kalam dan al-Kitabah dengan menerapkan model pembelajaran STAD dan TPS. Subject penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas X.3 SMA Terpadu Al-Ma'shum Mardiyah Cianjuryang berjumlah 22 siswa yang terdiri dari 11 siswa perempuan dan 11 siswa laki-laki. Keterampilan al- Kalam dan al-Kitabah adalah dua keterampilan dari empat keterampilan berbahasa yang harus dikuasai oleh siswa dalam mempelajari bahasa Arab sebagai bahasa asing. Meski demikian, hasil penelitian awal yang dilaksanakan pada semester ganjil tahun pelajaran 2014-2015 menunjukkan bahwa nilai rata-rata kemampuan siswa dalam keterampilan al-Kalam dan al-Kitabah masih rendah dari Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal (KKM). Peningkatan nilai rata-rata dari siklus pertama adalah 68,2% menjadi 72,7% untuk nilai al-Kalam, dan 77,3% menjadi 81,8% untuk nilai al-Kitabah. Disamping itu siswa kelihatan aktif dan bersemangat dalam proses belajar mengajar dengan menggunakan model pembelajaran STAD dan TPS. Pencapaian nilai tersebut diperoleh setelah dilakukannya penelitian tindakan kelas dengan melalui proses 4 langkah, yaitu perencanaan, pelaksanaan, observasi, dan refleksi. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus. Siklus satu dan dua masing-masing terdiri dari tiga pertemuan. Data penelitian dikumpulkan melalui beberapa instrumen yaitu lembar observasi, catatan lapangan, kuisioner dan penilaian akhir siswa. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, saran ditujukan kepada para guru bahasa Arab yang mempunyai masalah yang sama agar mengimplementasikan kedua model pembelajaran STAD dan TPS untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berbahasa Arab terutama dalam keterampilan al-Kalam dan al-Kitabah, untuk peneliti yang akan datang dianjurkan untuk mengadakan penelitian secara mendalam untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa.KATA KUNCI: Student Teams Achievement Divison, Think Pair Share, Keterampilan Berbicara dan Menulis
