PENGATURAN PUTTING OUT SYSTEM TERHADAP PEKERJA ANAK DI INDONESIA
Authors: Mahyani Ahmad
Published: November 2018

Pekerja anak telah menjadi masalah yang rumit dan belum ada penyelesaiannya untuk Indonesia. Semakin banyak bentuk dan jenis permasalahan pekerja anak. Salah satunya yang sering terjadi pengeksploitasian secara ekonomi kepada pekerja anak dalam pekerjaan berbasis putting out system yang dikategorikan sebagai pekerjaan terburuk bagi anak. Namun permasalahan ini tidak banyak disadari oleh banyak pihak bahkan pemerintah, karena ketersembunyian putting out system dan kaburnya keterlibatan pihak perusahaan yang menjadi penanggungjawab atas pelaksana sekaligus pemberi kerja berbasis putting out system kepada pekerja anak. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian hukum normatif dengan metode pendekatan perundang-undangan, pendekatan konsep, dan pendekatan kasus. Dibahas bagaimana legalitas pekerja anak dalam putting out system di Indonesia dilengkapi dengan berbagai kasus pekerja anak hingga pembahasan bagaimana pengaturan putting out system terhadap pekerja anak di Indonesia. Simpulan dari penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa putting out system dikategorikan sebagai pekerjaan yang eksploitatif terhadap pekerja anak. Pemerintah perlu mengkaji ulang apakah legal atau tidak pekerja anak yang bekerja di lingkungan pekerjaan berbasis putting out system. Pemerintah memang belum mengatur secara eksplisit putting out system dalam produk hukum positif. Namun pada prinsipnya, instrumen perlindungan hukum terhadap pekerja anak telah tersedia dalam berbagai peraturan perundang-undangan yang telah ada.Kata kunci: pekerja anak, putting out system

Using Drive-by Health Monitoring to Detect Bridge Damage Considering Environmental and Operational Effects
Authors: Locke William , Sybrandt Justin , Redmond Laura , Safro Ilya , Atamturktur Sez
Published: November 2018

Drive-by Health Monitoring utilizes accelerometers mounted on vehicles to gather dynamic response data that can be used to continuously evaluate the health of bridges faster and with less equipment than traditional structural health monitoring practices. Because vehicles and bridges create a coupled system, vehicle acceleration data contains information about bridge frequencies that can be used as health indicators. However, for drive-by health monitoring to be viable, variabilities in dynamic measurements caused by environmental and operational parameters, such as temperature, vehicle speed, traffic, and surface roughness need to be considered. In this paper, a finite element model of a simply supported bridge is developed considering the aforementioned variabilities and various levels of structural damage. Vehicle acceleration data obtained from the model is analyzed in the frequency domain and processed using a neural network architecture. This method is used to determine the relationships between noise inducing variables and changes in vehicle dynamic response spectrum; these relationships are leveraged to predict the overall health of the subject bridge. The results from this study indicate that the proposed approach can serve as a viable health monitoring strategy and should be further tested on physical bridge systems.
Fabrication of Multi-material 3D Structures by the Integration of Direct Laser Writing and MEMS Stencil Patterning
Authors: Reeves Jeremy , Jayne Rachael K. , Barrett Lawrence , White Alice E. , Bishop David J.
Published: November 2018

The construction of a complex, 3D optical metamaterial challenges conventional nanofabrication techniques. These metamaterials require patterning of both a deformable mechanical substrate and an optically-active structure with ~200 nm resolution and precision. The soft nature of the deformable mechanical materials often precludes the use of resist-based techniques for patterning. Furthermore, FIB deposition approaches produce metallic structures with considerable disorder and impurities, impairing their optical response. In this paper we discuss a novel solution to this nanofabrication challenge -- the integration of direct laser writing and MEMS stencil patterning. We demonstrate a variety of methods that enable this integration and then show how one can produce optically-active, 3D metamaterials. We present optical characterization data on one of these metamaterials to demonstrate the viability of our nanofabrication approach.
How does mindfulness training improve moral cognition: A theoretical and experimental framework for the study of embodied ethics
Authors: Sevinc Gunes , Lazar Sara
Published: November 2018

Mindfulness meditation has been primarily studied within the context of individual’s psychological well being and/or in relation to it’s potential to enhance cognitive skills such as attention and working memory. However, in Buddhism, mindfulness is used as a tool to cultivate wholesome actions, and as a means to promote virtuous, prosocial qualities. In this article, we postulate that heightened awareness of physiological and mental phenomena following mindfulness training may contribute to altered processing of morally relevant information and promote moral action. We will first briefly summarize neuroscientific investigations into moral cognition, and provide a theoretical and an experimental framework for the investigation of the relationship between mindfulness and ethical behavior.
Moral Psychology of Sex Robots: an experimental study -- How Pathogen Disgust is associated with interhuman sex but not interandroid sex

Published: November 2018

The idea of sex with robots seems to fascinate the general public, raising both enthusiasm and revulsion. We ran two experimental studies (Ns = 172 and 260) where we compared people’s reactions to variants of stories about a person visiting a bordello. Our results show that paying for the services of a sex robot is condemned less harshly than paying for the services of a human sex worker, especially if the payer is married. We have for the first time experimentally confirmed that people are somewhat unsure about whether or not using a sex robot while in a committed monogamous relationship should be considered as infidelity. We also shed light on the psychological factors influencing attitudes towards sex robots, including disgust sensitivity and interest in science fiction. Our results indicate that sex with a robot is indeed genuinely considered as sex, and a sex robot is genuinely seen as a robot; thus, we show that standard research methods on sexuality and robotics are applicable also in research on sex robotics.
Forensic psychology and correctional psychology: Distinct but related subfields of psychological science and practice
Authors: Neal Tess M.S.
Published: November 2018

This paper delineates two separate but related subfields of psychological science and practice applicable across all major areas of the field (e.g., clinical, counseling, developmental, social, cognitive, community). Forensic and correctional psychology are related by their historical roots, involvement in the justice system, and the shared population of people they study and serve. The practical and ethical contexts of these subfields is distinct from other areas of psychology – and from one another – with important implications for ecologically valid research and ethically sound practice. Forensic psychology is a subfield of psychology in which basic and applied psychological science or scientifically-oriented professional practice is applied to the law to help resolve legal, contractual, or administrative matters. Correctional psychology is a subfield of psychology in which basic and applied psychological science or scientifically-oriented professional practice is applied to the justice system to inform the classification, treatment, and management of offenders to reduce risk and improve public safety. There has been and continues to be great interest in both subfields – especially the potential for forensic and correctional psychological science to help resolve practical issues and questions in legal and justice settings. This paper traces the shared and separate developmental histories of these subfields, outlines their important distinctions and implications, and provides a common understanding and shared language for psychologists interested in applying their knowledge in forensic or correctional contexts.
Teleological generics preprint
Authors: Korman Joanna
Published: November 2018

Certain “generic” generalizations are teleological, e.g., cars are for driving. But some properties yield unacceptable teleological generics: for instance, the generic, cars are for parking, seems unacceptable even though cars are parked roughly as often as they’re driven. What explains the discrepancy? A recent conceptual taxonomy of generics (Prasada, 2017; Prasada & Dillingham, 2006; Prasada et al., 2013) argues that certain kinds of connections between a concept and a property of that concept – known as “principled” connections – license generalization, whereas other types of associative connections do not. We applied this taxonomy to explain why people accept teleological generics. The account predicts that people should acceptable teleological generics that describe those concepts which bear a principled connection to a property. Under this analysis, the concept car bears a principled connection to driving (a car’s primary purpose concerns driving) and a non-principled connection to parking (an incidental consequence of driving). Four experiments and a regression analysis tested and corroborated the predictions of the theory.
Suitability study of soybeans husk ash as a mixing material to OPC: Effect of calcination time-preliminary investigation
Authors: Taku K. J. , Amartey Y. D.
Published: November 2018

Soybeans husk was collected from a dump site, dried de-carbonated, separated into six samples and calcined at a temperature of 600 °C, for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours respectively. Samples were taken for X- ray Florescence (XRF) analysis, Standard Electron Microscopy (SEM) imaging, setting time, standard water of consistency determination and specific gravity test. The result of XRF analysis revealed that the SHA contain less than 70 % SiO2+Al2O3+Fe2O3 stipulated by ASTM C618 for pozzolanas, but has very high CaO content. The SiO2 +Al2O3+Fe2O3 and CaO content though varies slightly with the calcination time of soybean husk. The specific gravity of SHA varies with calcination time of SH and ranges between 2.3 and 2.7 and is less than that of OPC irrespective of the calcination time. Setting times of OPC/SHA pastes at 10 % replacement of OPC with SHA increases with calcination time and is greater than that for OPC paste. The SEM analysis shows that the crystal structure of the SHA changes with calcination temperature. The compressive strength of mortar using OPC/SHA as a binder was determined after 7, 14 and 28 days curing and was found to be less than that for OPC mortars at all ages. However, the percentage reduction in strength decreased with curing age, with SHA calcined at 4 hours having the greater strength (i.e. 87.4 % of OPC strength at 28 days). The percentage gain in strength was more pronounced from 7 to 14 days. In all, SH calcined at 600 °C for 4 hours optimizes the pozzolanic potential of SHA.Kathmandu University Journal of Science, Engineering and Technology Vol. 12, No. I, June, 2016, Page: 13-22

Authors: Ashutosh K. S , Manidipa D. , Seshagiri R. J. V. L. N. , Gowri S. D.
Published: November 2018

The RP-HPLC separation was carried out by reverse phase chromatography on a Symmetry C18 (4.6 x 150 mm, 3.5 μm, make: XTerra) with a mobile phase composed of sodium dihydrogen ortho phosphate [pH 2.5] and acetonitrile in the ratio of 30:70 v/v in an isocratic mode at a flow rate of 1.2 mL/min. The run time was maintained for 8.0 min. The detection was monitored at 236 nm. The accuracy was calculated in human plasma and the % recovery was found 99.80 - 99.85 for famotidine and 99.56 -99.85.5 for ibuprofen and reproducibility was found to be satisfactory. The calibration curve for famotidine in human plasma was linear over 3.32 to 6.65 μg/mL and 100- 200 μg/mL for ibuprofen in human plasma respectively. The inter-day and intra-day precision in human plasma was found within limits. The proposed method has adequate sensitivity, reproducibility, and specificity for the determination of famotidine and ibuprofen in plasma. The LLOQ obtained by the proposed method in human plasma were 1.24 and 5.0 μg/mL for famotidine and ibuprofen respectively. The proposed method is simple, fast, accurate, and precise for the quantification of famotidine and ibuprofen in plasma as per the ICH guidelines.Kathmandu University Journal of Science, Engineering and TechnologyVol. 12, No. I, June, 2016, Page: 34-48
Behavioural risk factors associated with ischemic heart disease among population attending selected cardiac hospitals of Kathmandu, Nepal
Authors: Shrestha Sangita , Bajracharya Shova Laxmi
Published: November 2018

Background and Aims: Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) is the number one cause of morbidity and mortality among the in-patient of different cardiac hospital of developing countries like Nepal. The prevalence of IHD is high with significant associated risk factors that include tobacco use, history of hypertension, family history and age. Though IHD can cause life-threatening conditions like myocardial infarction, yet it is preventable disease. The objective of the study was to study the risk factors associated with ischemic heart diseases among population attending selected cardiac hospitals of Kathmandu.Methods: Hospital- based pair matched case-control was conducted among the patients with IHD at Manmohan Cardiothoracic Vascular and Transplant Centre (MCTVC) and Shahid Gangalal National Heart Center (SGNHC). Non- random purposive sampling technique was applied and sample size was calculated as 105 (35 cases and 70 controls). Case and control were matched with age (Å} 2 years) and sex from the same hospitals. Ethical approval was taken from Institutional review board, Institute of medicine. Informed consent was obtained prior to information collection, after explaining about the purpose of the study to the entire participants. Only interested participants were included in the study. Confidentiality of the subject was ensured by collecting data in separate private room. Univariate associations between the risk factors and IHD under study was assessed by applying Chi-Square test and Fisher’s exact test and expressed as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. To assess the strength of association, the odds ratio was calculated.Results: 88.6% cases and 90% controls participants were of age 41 years and above and IHD was more common in male (60%) than female (40%). The participants who were not doing work-related moderate-intense activity are twice more likely to have IHD compared to controls (OR=2.276, p=0.049), similarly, hypertensive are two times (OR=2.276, p=0.049), obese are more than two times (OR=2.44, p=0.045), and participants with high waist to hip ratio are almost three times more likely to suffer from IHD (OR=2.88, p=0.013).Conclusions: The current smoking, physical inactivity, hypertension and waist to hip ratio tend to be the significant risk factors of IHD. Minimizing exposure to the identified risk factors can prevent burden of complex and expensive IHD treatment.

Published: November 2018

Aims: The lesions at uterine cervix cannot be always established only with cytology. Thus, it is very important that cytological abnormality be subsequently correlated with biopsy for confirmation of cervical lesion. Thus it is to see histopathological findings of different types of cervical pathology in cervical biopsies.Methods: This is retrospective analysis of histology result of 1184 cervical biopsy specimens from 2011 to 2016.Results: Out of 1108 histologically adequate cervical specimens, benign cervical lesion formed the major part (44.76%)followed by cervical inflammatory lesion (27.43 %). Malignant and borderline cervical lesion constituted 14.35% and 13.44% respectively; 6.4% biopsy samples were inadequate to report.CIN I was common among borderline lesions followed by CIN III. The most common cervical malignancy was squamous cell type and mostly moderately differentiated.Conclusions:Benign cervical lesions were the most common cervical lesions followed by inflammatory conditions. Among borderline cervical lesions CIN I was commonly found followed by CIN III.

Aims: This study is done to see the maternal and fetal factors associated with isolated oligohydraminos.Methods: It is a retrospective observational study done at Western Regional Hospital Pokhara.   All cases of oligohydraminos except those with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, premature rupture of membranes, preterm labour and fetal congenital anomalies were included in the study.  SPSS 16 and MS-Excel were used for data entry and analysis. Results were presented as graphs and tables.Results: Sixty cases were enrolled in the study and the mean age was 25.6 years. Oligohydraminos was more prevalent among primigravida compared to multigravida (62% vs. 38%). Half of the women (n=30) delivered in between 37 to 40 weeks of gestation while 47% (n=28) of the women were post dates and two were post term. LSCS was the most common mode of delivery in this study (n=48). Anhydraminos was detected in seven women (12%) during caesarean section and rest had scanty liquor (41 in LSCS and 12 in vaginal delivery). One fifth of them (n=12) had low birth weight and there were no cases of growth retardation. Eighty two percent of women (n=49) had scanty clear liquor while only seven percent (n=4) had meconium stained scanty liquor. One had stillbirth and the rest had Apgar score of six or more including anhydramnios.Conclusions: There were seven cases of anhydraminos and four cases of meconium stained liquor. All the live births had Apgar score of six or more. There was one stillbirth and neonatal admission each while no neonatal death in this study.

Aims: To observe the maternal and fetal outcome among those having elevated Glucose Challenge Test (GCT) level and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods: Medical record of 15,413 pregnant women booked and delivered between June 2012 and January 2018 were evaluated. GCT was performed by using 50gm glucose and diagnosis of gestational diabetes performed by using the Carpenter Coustan Criteria. Pregnancy outcomes were assessed by the antenatal events, gestation and mode of delivery. Similarly, neonatal outcomes assessed in terms of birth weights, Apgar score, congenital abnormalities, hyperbilirubinaemia, hypoglycaemia and respiratory distress syndrome.Results: The detected incidence of gestational diabetes was 2.35%. With the threshold plasma glucose level at 140 mg/ dl, 1843 women needed to undergo 100g oral glucose tolerance test and 363 women had gestational diabetes.Conclusions: It is very important to find out GDM in pregnancy as it has adverse outcomes which are preventable; it is worthwhile to detect GDM by screening in pregnancy. The 50g GCT is feasible and 100gm OGTT to find out GDM.

Authors: Bajracharya Nishma , Karki Aruna , Dangal Ganesh , Pradhan Hema , Shrestha Ranjana , Bhattachan Kabin , Paudel Rekha
Published: November 2018

Ovarian cysts are common findings in females of reproductive age. Mostly, they are non-neoplastic and hormonally dependent as follicular, simple, and corpus luteum cysts. Ovarian cysts are rarely grown to reach huge size without raising any symptoms. Most of the cases that have huge cysts present with pressure symptoms over the genitourinary system leading to urinary complaints or the respiratory system lead to respiratory embarrassment.Dermoid cysts account for 10–20% of all ovarian neoplasms. They are common in young women, especially at the age of 30 years.In most of cases, they are asymptomatic and can be discovered accidentally on clinical examination or ultrasonographic scan. They are usually indolent tumors with very slow rate of growth about 1.8 mm per year. Giant dermoid cysts have been infrequently reported in the literature.This is a case report of huge dermoid cyst weighing 25 kgs in a 42-year old perimenopausal lady that remained relatively asymptomatic. She underwent Laparotomy with ovarian cystectomy.

Published: November 2018

Cilj rada je utvrditi metrijska obilježja instrumenta za mjerenje jedne od komponenti otpornosti obitelji – zaštitnih čimbenika u obitelji. Riječ je o instrumentu Family Resilience Assessment Scale (FRAS, Sixbey, 2005), odnosno Upitniku za procjenu otpornosti obitelji. Istraživanje je provedeno s prigodnim uzorkom od 220 roditelja (53.9% majki i 46.1% očeva), učenika 1. razreda srednjih škola Ivan Švear u Ivanić Gradu i 1. Gimnazije u Zagrebu. Rezultati faktorske analize skraćene verzije instrumenta (54 čestice) ukazuju na šest-faktorsko rješenje koje objašnjava 48.89% varijance. Riječ je o faktorima: Obiteljska komunikacija i rješavanje problema, Pridavanje smisla nedaćama, Podrška susjeda, Obiteljska duhovnost, Obiteljska povezanost, Sigurnost i podrška u zajednici. Navedeno faktorsko rješenje uvelike je slično faktorskom rješenju koje je dobila autorica instrumenta (Sixbey, 2005). Pouzdanost četiri skale je zadovoljavajuća (α= od .65 do .92), dok dvije skale imaju nižu pouzdanost (Pridavanje smisla nedaćama, α=.58, Podrška susjeda, α=.60). Deskriptivni podaci ukazuju na negativnu asimetričnost distribucija rezultata na svim faktorima, odnosno visoke vrijednosti rezultata, što može upućivati na slabu osjetljivost instrumenta. U radu su navedeni prijedlozi za doradu instrumenta.
Zadovoljstvo životom
Authors: Novak Miranda , Kovčo Vukadin Irma , Križan Helena
Published: November 2018

Cilj ovog rada je prikaz razvoja i aktualnog razumijevanja konstrukta zadovoljstva životom u svrhu njegove operacionalizacije u okviru projekta „Specifična obilježja obitelji u riziku: doprinos planiranju kompleksnih intervencija“. Pregled literature ukazuje na nepostojanje općeprihvaćenog razgraničenja u definiranju i operacionalizaciji različitih konstrukata koji se nerijetko sinonimno koriste, poput zadovoljstva životom, dobrobiti i kvalitete života. Stoga se u radu kreće od razgraničavanja zadovoljstva životom od konstrukata kvalitete života i dobrobiti. Prema aktualnom razumijevanju, konstrukt zadovoljstva životom se pozicionira u područje šireg konstrukta subjektivne dobrobiti koja se istražuje u okviru krovnog termina kvalitete života. Subjektivna dobrobit sadrži dvije komponente – afektivnu i kognitivnu. Zadovoljstvo životom je mjera kognitivne komponente subjektivne dobrobiti obzirom da se odnosi na procjenu zadovoljstva životom. Osim pitanja koja se pojavljuju u shvaćanju i istraživanjima individualnog zadovoljstva životom, mjerenje zadovoljstva obiteljskim životom donosi dodatna pitanja koja se također problematiziraju u radu. Obiteljska perspektiva zadovoljstva životom rijetko je istraživana pa rad donosi pregled dosadašnjih spoznaja o kvaliteti života obitelji, zadovoljstvu životom obitelji te određeni broj instrumenata razvijenih za mjerenje zadovoljstva životom i zadovoljstva obiteljskim životom.
Assisted Suicide and the Death Penalty
Authors: Chintakrindi Sriram , Porter Jeremy
Published: November 2018

In this study, we test Durkheim’s (1897) conceptualization of suicide as a pattern of suicidal behavior caused by sociological conditions and its effects on attitudes towards state sanctioned death through examining support for assisted suicide and the death penalty. Using secondary-data and quantitative analytical methods, we empirically examine personal attitudes towards assisted suicide for oneself and its relationship to supporting assisted suicide for medical reasons and the death penalty as a punishment for others. The primary goal of our analysis is to determine whether Durkheim’s (1897) theory of suicide is a relevant theoretical model for specifying the sociological factors influencing attitudes towards state sanctioned death. Findings from our analysis indicate that the sociological factors, such as, gender and religious beliefs influence attitudes towards support for assisted suicide and the death penalty.
Kockanje mladih u Hrvatskoj - učestalost igranja i zastupljenost problematičnog kockanja
Authors: Ricijaš Neven , Dodig Hundrić Dora , Huić Aleksandra , Kranželić Valentina
Published: November 2018

Temeljni cilj ovog rada je istražiti zastupljenost kockanja te štetnih psihosocijalnih posljedica kockanja (tzv. problematičnog kockanja) kod hrvatskih srednjoškolaca. Dodatni ciljevi su istražiti rodne razlike te razlike u učestalosti kockanja i izraženosti problema s obzirom na razred (dob) i vrstu školskog usmjerenja. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo n=2.702 učenika svih razreda sva tri hrvatska srednjoškolska programa (tro- i četvero-godišnje strukovne škole te gimnazije) iz 7 gradova (Zagreb, Osijek, Rijeka, Split, Vinkovci, Slavonski Brod i Koprivnica), pri čemu su podjednako zastupljeni mladići (n=1.330, 49.2%) i djevojke (ž=1.372, 50.8%), a prosječna životna dob iznosi Mdob=16.51 (SDdob=1.17). Kako bi se ostvarili ciljevi rada, korišteni su sljedeći instrumenti: Upitnik o općim socio-demografskim podacima, Upitnik aktivnosti kockanja (Ricijaš, Dodig, Huić i Kranželić, 2011) i Kanadski upitnik kockanja adolescenata – CAGI (Tremblay, Stinchfield, Wiebe i Wynne, 2010.). Pritom je istraživanje usmjereno na formalne oblike igara na sreću, odnosno one igre koje se nude od službeno registriranih priređivača na području Republike Hrvatske.
Rezultati pokazuju kako je 72.9% srednjoškolaca barem jednom u životu kockalo/kladilo se. Najveći udio učenika ima iskustvo sportskog klađenja i igranja lutrijskih igara, pri čemu je klađenje na sportske rezultate najučestalija igra na sreću. Čak 12.9% srednjoškolaca zadovoljava kriterije za visoku razinu problema povezanih s kockanjem. Utvrđene su i značajne rodne razlike u učestalosti kockanja kao i zastupljenosti štetnih psihosocijalnih problema povezanih s kockanjem u korist mladića, dok su efekti razlika kada je riječ o vrsti škole i razredu/dobi relativno niski.
Rezultati pružaju značajne smjernice za buduća istraživanja, planiranje intervencija prema djeci i mladima, te kreiranje socijalnih politika i unaprjeđivanje zakonske regulative.

Authors: Bouillet Dejana
Published: November 2018

This paper presents the development process of the measuring instrument for timely identification of elementary school pupils’ behavioural problems, with the aim of proper implementation of appropriate socio-pedagogical interventions. The key matter discussed in the paper is the Questionnaire for assessment of interventional needs of pupils – version for pupils, which is being developed and evaluated with the aim of contributing to the standardisation and evaluation processes of the socio-pedagogical interventions in elementary schools. The research was conducted on a sample of 3301 pupils from the third, fifth, and seventh grades, from 43 elementary schools in 13 Croatian counties. The final version of the Questionnaire consists of 42 variables which measure relationships with peers, relationship towards education, relationship towards obligations, relationships with parents, the level of parental support, openness in communication and interests, relationships with teachers, self-satisfaction and permissiveness in upbringing. The reliability, validity and objectivity of the Questionnaire are satisfactory (Cronbach’s Alpha =.894). The pupils were clustered in three groups, based on the result on the Questionnaire: pupils with behavioural disorders, with behavioural difficulties and other pupils who do not display behavioral difficulties or disorders. It was found that, according to this criteria, there is an average of 12.88% pupils with behavioural problems in Croatian elementary schools. This paper suggests guidelines for grouping pupils into categories that depend on the gender and age of the pupils, but the precise norms concerning the criteria will be developed in the next stage of the project.
Peningkatan Pengucapan Kalimat Thoyyibah Melalui Reality Story Book di Taman Kanak-kanak Lab School FIP UMJ
Authors: Winata Widia
Published: November 2018

Moral dan agama merupakan salah satu aspek pengembangan dalam kurikulum Taman Kanakkanak (TK). Penjabarannya dilakukan dengan aktivitas real seperti pengucapan kalimatthoyyibah. Kegiatan ini sudah dilakukan sejak anak masuk kelompok A (usia 4-5 tahun).Namun ketika sampai di kelompok B (5-6 tahun) TK Lab School FIP UMJ, kalimat tersebuttidak dipraktekkan lagi. Kalaupun ada, hanya beberapa saja, seperti mengucapkan bismillah,alhamdulillah dan la ilaha illallah. Padahal banyak kalimat yang seharusnya diajarkan sejakanak berusia dini. Untuk meningkatkan kembali pengucapan kalimat thoyyibah tersebut,peneliti melakukan penelitian tindakan kelas dengan model Kurt Lewin. Langkah yangdilakukan adalah melakukan perencanaan, tindakan, observasi dan refleksi dengan tiga siklus.Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa pengucapan kalimat thoyyibah dapat meningkat denganpenggunaan media reality story book. Hal ini terlihat pada skor pemerolehan anak sebesar 23%pada siklus 1, 68,5% pada siklus 2 dan 81,5% pada siklus 3 dengan target capaian sebesar 75%.Saran peneliti agar guru senantiasa memberikan kesempatan kepada anak untuk terusmembiasakan pengucapan kalimat thoyyibah di setiap kegiatan, memberikan model danmenyediakan media yang dapat digunakan untuk memperkuat pengucapan kalimat thoyyibah.Kata kunci: kalimat thoyyibah, reality story book, taman kanak-kanakKata Kunci: kalimat thoyyibah, reality story book, taman kanak-kanakMoral and religion are one aspect of development in the Kindergarten (TK) curriculum. Thedescription is done with real activities such as the pronunciation of the thoyyibah sentence.This activity has been done since the child entered group A (age 4-5 years). But when hearrived in group B (5-6 years) TK Lab School FIP UMJ, the sentence was not practicedanymore. Even if there are only a few, like saying bismillah, alhamdulillah and la ilaha illallah.Though many sentences should be taught since early childhood. To improve the pronunciationof the thoyyibah sentence, the researcher conducted a classroom action research with KurtLewin's model. The steps taken are planning, action, observation and reflection with threecycles. The results showed that the pronunciation of thoyyibah sentences could increase withthe use of reality story book media. This can be seen in the score of child acquisition by 23% incycle 1, 68.5% in cycle 2 and 81.5% in cycle 3 with a target achievement of 75%. Researcher'ssuggestion is that the teacher always gives the opportunity for children to continue tofamiliarize the pronunciation of thoyyibah sentences in each activity, provide models andprovide media that can be used to strengthen the pronunciation of thoyyibah sentences.Keywords: thoyyibah sentence, reality story book, kindergarten
The One Health Leadership Experience at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada
Authors: Uehlinger Fabienne D. , Freeman Douglas A. , Waldner Cheryl L.
Published: November 2018

Competency in One Health (OH) leadership was emphasized in the Roadmap for Veterinary Medical Education in the 21st Century in 2011. Since then, several educational interventions have been aimed at increasing awareness and capacity for inter-professional collaboration. At the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, a 3-day event, the One Health Leadership Experience (OHLE), was initiated in 2012 and continues to the present. The event targets students entering their first year of a health professional program and consists of presentations by invited OH guest speakers, networking sessions, small-group case discussions of OH scenarios, and leadership development through panel discussions and interactive small-group dialogues. Post-conference surveys, a 5-year follow-up survey, and two focus groups were conducted to evaluate the impact of participation in the OHLE. After the event, the proportion of students who said they clearly understood OH and its goals was substantially higher than before: 86% versus 14% in 2012, 91% versus 23% in 2013, and 69% versus 24% in 2014. In the 5-year follow-up survey, most respondents (90%) indicated that attending the OHLE increased their interaction with other students from health sciences colleges or schools on campus. Also, most (81%) believed that OH should be formally taught in their program and 80% anticipated implementing, or had already implemented, OH practices after graduation. The OHLE increased participants’ awareness of the importance of interdisciplinary approaches and is a successful educational model that can be adapted to health professional curricula at other institutions.

Animals used for sport, recreation and display are highly visible and can divide community attitudes. The study of animal welfare and ethics (AWE) as part of veterinary education is important because it is the responsibility of veterinarians to use their scientific knowledge and skills to promote animal welfare in the context of community expectations. To explore the attitudes of veterinary students in Australia and New Zealand to AWE, a survey of the current cohort was undertaken. The survey aimed to reveal how veterinary students in Australia and New Zealand rate the importance of five selected AWE topics for Day One Competences in animals used in sport, recreation and display and to establish how veterinary students’ priorities were associated with gender and stage of study. The response rate (n = 851) across the seven schools was just over 25%. Results indicated little variation on ratings for topics. The topics were ranked in the following order (most to least important): Pushing of animals to their physiologic/behavioral limits; ownership/responsibility; euthanasia; educating the public; and behavior, selection, and training for sport and recreation displays. In contrast to related studies, ratings were not associated with stage of study and there were few differences associated with gender. More females rated the pushing of animals to physiologic/behavioral limits as extremely important than did males ( p < .001). The role of veterinarians in advocating for and educating the public about the welfare of animals used in sport, recreation and display merits further discussion.
One Health–One Education: Medical and Veterinary Inter-Professional Training
Authors: Wilkes Michael S. , Conrad Patricia A. , Winer Jenna N.
Published: November 2018

Physicians and veterinarians are increasingly expected to collaborate across disciplines; however, in most cases their education and training remain isolated within their respective professions. Medical and veterinary students are rarely provided with opportunities for inter-professional learning during their coursework and clinical training. One Health serves as an ideal framework for developing problem-focused curricula that promote inter-professional teamwork. One Health issues (e.g., zoonotic diseases, water pollution, toxic waste, impact of climate change, and food safety and security) not only engage students across disciplines, but require faculty and senior leadership across various health-related fields to share knowledge and balance perspectives throughout curriculum development and implementation. In this article, we report on one of several interactive, small-group, case-based One Health curricular exercises developed collaboratively by students and faculty in our Schools of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine to ensure that all students, regardless of background or intended specialty, would receive a basic introduction to inter-professional collaboration in the context of a One Health clinical problem of the sort they might encounter in their future practice. Toxoplasmosis ( Toxoplasma gondii infection) was selected as the first case because of the potentially different perspectives that medical and veterinary practitioners may have on advising a pregnant woman with regard to risk factors, prevention, testing, and treatment. Our goal was to develop an evidence-based approach to this clinical case that could be used by both professions to assess environmental and zoonotic risk factors for T. gondii in human pregnancies.

REMEMBERING OVERSTOCKED PACKAGING BARRELS [ZATOVARENNAYA BOCHKOTARA]
Authors: Yanushevsky V.
Published: November 2018

The article is about Vasily Aksyonov’s story Overstocked Packaging Barrels [Zatovarennaya bochkotara], published half a century ago in the journal Yunost’ (1968, no. 3). The publication could have marked a turnaround in the writer’s career and sent big waves across Soviet literature at the time. The story is analyzed in the context of Khrushchev’s Thaw, permeating the country’s social and cultural spheres. Examples of such context include works by the poet E. Evtushenko and the film director E. Klimov. The paper captures responses to the story from the critics E. Sidorov and S. Rassadin, who pointed out the issue of ‘the good man’ in Soviet literature and the problem of artistic conventions correlating with a thoroughly realistic description of reality. The author also draws comparisons of the story to Gogol’s works and their reception by his contemporaries. The article includes a close examination of the dreams and their function in the story. In a tone of disappointment, the author concludes that the publication of Overstocked Packaging Barrels failed to revitalize the country’s cultural landscape, even though it became a literary highlight of the period and, 50 years later, found its place amongst the classical texts of Russian 20th century literature.
A CRISIS OF HYBRID GENRES: PHILIPPE FOREST AND THE RETURN OF THE ‘I-NOVEL’ TO FRENCH LITERATURE
Authors: Muravyova L.
Published: November 2018

The article analyses the disintegration of hybrid genres, a major trend that has been taking shape in French literature in recent decades. Having exhausted the resources for hybridization of genres and survived the ‘death of the author’ period, French literature is searching for new ways to rejuvenate and refresh its genre forms. One option is convergence with other national literary tradition, in order to reconsider its own genre hierarchy and establish a new status of the writing individual between the autobiography and the novel. Particularly interesting in this regard is the attempt to overcome a genre crisis by the French writer Philippe Forest (born in 1962), who draws on the traditions of French avant-garde novels and the Japanese ‘I-novel’ (shôsetsu). The new genre distinguishes itself through special narration forms, the particular meaning of an event, and a certain balance between the imaginary and factual in Forest’s prose.
KAZUO ISHIGURO. THE WRITER IN THE ‘FLOATING WORLD’
Authors: Sidorova O.
Published: November 2018

Novels by the Nobel Prize winner in literature 2017 K. Ishiguro are analyzed chronologically, from the first novel A Pale View of Hills (1982) to the latest one The Buried Giant (2015). As the article shows, the author, who represents two cultural traditions, the Japanese and the British ones, reflects this quality in his works. The writer himself states that his works were mainly formed by the European literary tradition and, consequently, his novel The Remains of the Day has become a concentrated study of Englishness, one of the most vivid in contemporary British literature. Experimenting with traditional literary forms, Ishiguro uses the stream-of-conscience technique, elements of science fiction, fantasy, detective genres, but each of his novels is unique and is characterized by deep overtones. Some constant elements of the writer’s works are discussed: unreliable narrators, the opposition of memory and history, the special role of children and of old people in his novels, the significant role of periods before and after historic events that are omitted in his novels, and recognizable language and style – compact, reserved and precise.
THE SONG OF LOVE TRIUMPHANT. ON I. S. TURGENEV MUSEUM
Authors: Gordon A. , Kalmykova V.
Published: November 2018

In their joint interview, Elena V. Polyanskaya, the curator of Ivan Turgenev’s museum in Moscow, and its senior research fellow Elena M. Gribkova tell the story of the museum’s founding in 2007. Prefacing the interview is a brief in memoriam devoted to the recently passed E. Gribkova, who had worked at the Ostozhenka-based memorial house since its inception. Much emphasis is given to Turgenev’s integration into European culture through his friendship with Louis and Pauline Viardot, and the perception of his works by Flaubert, Maupassant, and Mеrimеe. The interview touches on the social and political stance of Turgenev and mentions a number of facts of his personal and creative life that are related to Moscow. The interviewees also reveal the selection process behind the museum’s exhibits and dwell on their main professional objective, i. e. to try and recreate, at least partially, the genuine period setting and decoration of the house. The new exhibition immerses the visitors into the world of Turgenev, an 1840-s man, and his mother: the world of the Russian landed gentry, of fathers and sons.
