It is influenced by various factors, both situational (external) and within (internal)
Pengaruh Zikir al-Ma’tsurat dan Terjemahannya Terhadap Penurunan Kecemasan Siswa Menghadapi Ujian Nasional
Authors: Jannah Nur
Published: November 2017

The problems most often experienced by students when facing the National Exam is anxiety problems. Anxiety arises because students are burdened by thoughts and shadows of possibilities that occur when failing in the National Exam. Excessive anxiety will cause students not to focus on the National Exam. One way that can be done to provide peace of mind in the Islamic view is with dhikr. In contrast to most schools, SMPIT Ukhuwah Banjarmasin not only prepares students in the outer field such as additional subjects are tested, but the school also prepares the spiritual condition of students by giving the program of recitation of al-Ma’tsurat recitation that is read every afternoon. But the recitation of the dhikr is not with the translation. The reading of al-Ma’tsurat dhikr with its translation will invite the students to be more solemn and understand the content contained in the recitation of the dhikr. This study aims to determine the level of student anxiety and find out whether the dhikr al-Ma’tsurat and its translation have an effect on the decreasing anxiety of students facing the National Exam at SMPIT Ukhuwah Banjarmasin.This research is experimental research and data is presented with quantitative approach. Variable in this research there are 2 that dhikr al-Ma’tsurat and translation (X) and anxiety (Y). While the design of this study using the design pretest and posttest one group. Data collection tools in the form of anxiety scale The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, with the number of subjects as many as 7 students. Data analysis using t-test.The results of quantitative data indicate a decrease in anxiety between before the intervention (pretest) and after intervention (postest) is done, the scoring of the anxiety category from high to medium and low anxiety categories. And the decline of a large minimum value of 32.00 and the maximum value of 24.00, and the mean value of 24.7147. The result of the normality prerequisite test is p> 0,05 indicating that the data distribution at initial and final test is normal. The result of t-test is obtained t value = 11,068 and p = 0,000, p <0,01, meaning dhikr al-Ma’tsurat  and its translation can influence decreasing anxiety of student facing National Exam at SMPIT Ukhuwah Banjarmasin.
Genetic divergence analysis among barley genotypes using inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism markers (IRAP)
Authors: Elframawy A. , EL-Bakatoushi R.
Published: November 2017

The genetic diversity among 14 barley accessions was evaluated using seven designed primers based on long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons derived from the barley genome. LTR primers amplified 96 bands of > 100- 1500 bp, of which 84 were polymorphic. The number of polymorphic fragments ranged from 5 (LTR, LTR1 and LTR6150) to 18 (Sukkula) with an average of 9.33. The highest marker index (MI) was observed with the primer Nikita (3.93) and the lowest with the primer LTR2 (1.05), with an average MI of 2.28 per primer. The insertion patterns of retrotransposones have interesting implications for genome organization in Hordeum. The Shannon diversity index with markers obtained on the accessions level was 0.45. Barely accessions are clustered according to their pedigree and caryopsis character (hulled or naked caryopsis). This study demonstrates the efficiency of IRAP markers as a genetic tool for selection of suitable accessions for breeding programs.

Authors: Yadav Deepika , Awasthi M. K. , Nema R. K.
Published: November 2017

Accurate estimation of evapotranspiration is necessary step for better management and allocation of water resources. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) adopted the Penman Moneith method as a global standard to estimate reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo). The study aimed to estimate FAO P-M reference evapotranspiration for different district of five agro climatic zones of Madhya Pradesh state by using Aquacrop model. Daily weather data including maximum and minimum temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, wind speed and solar radiation were collected for the period of 1979 to 2013 which were used as input data in Aquacrop. Several statistical parameters were used for characterizing the spatial and temporal variability of ETo. The average monthly ETo was found maximum in month of May (10.67 mm day-1) in all district of different agro climatic zones for the average period considered for the study and also for each years, whereas average minimum ETo was estimated in month of December (3.23 mm day-1) in Kymore Plateau and August (2.44 mm day-1) in Satpura Plateau. The mean daily reference evapotranspiration ranges from 4 mm day-1 to 10 mm day-1 for all districts. From the statistical analysis it was found that spatial variability of ETo lower than the temporal variability. It means the bigger differentiation of ETo in the years than in the space.

Published: November 2017

The present investigation was conducted on thirty genotypes of mungbean to evaluate genetic variability, character association and genetic divergence for eleven seed quality traits for the identification of most diverse and promising genotypes. The genotypes differed significantly for all characters under study. Higher genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was observed for electrical conductivity test, germination after accelerating ageing (96 hr), seedling vigour index II and seedling dry weight. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was recorded for seedling dry weight, seedling vigour index I, seedling vigour index II, electrical conductivity, germination after accelerating ageing (48 hr), germination after accelerating ageing (72 hr), germination after accelerating ageing (96 hr). Association analysis indicated that standard germination showed a significant and positive correlation with shoot length, root length, seedling length, seedling dry weight, seedling vigour index I, seedling vigour index II and germination after accelerating ageing (48, 72 and 96 hr). D2 analysis grouped 30 genotypes into 6 clusters. Cluster pattern revealed that cluster I and V were the largest ones with eight genotypes, followed by cluster III and VI with four genotypes and cluster II and IV with three genotypes each. The highest contribution toward the total genetic divergence was recorded for vigour index I, electrical conductivity, shoot length, root length and seedling dry weight. Selection index (I) aimed at selection on several characters simultaneously indicated that genotypes, LGG-460, MH-805, Pusa-0672, IPM-06-5, TBM-11, EC-581523, KM-2241, GP-69, RMG-991 and MH-934 had performed better and were important for further breeding programme aimed at improvement of yield.

Enhancement of power flow using FACTS systems
Authors: Hocine Sekhane , Djamel Labed
Published: November 2017

In this paper, both standard IEEE test systems 57-bus and Algerian 59-bus are considered. To enhance the power flow of these two considerable networks in terms of voltage profile and reduce the real and reactive total transmission losses, the inclusion of flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) devices is one of the best solutions. For this, a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is proposed. Our code is written in the MATLAB computing environment, based on finding the weakest buses in the network, and placing one or two STATCOMs in an appropriate place; in the next step, there would be recalculation of the power flow again. The results of power flow compared with the popular MATPOWER software environment show the exactitude of our code calculation, and the enhancement of voltage profile, especially in buses where STATCOM is placed. Furthermore, the reduction of real and reactive losses shows the effectiveness of the FACTS device proposed.

Keywords: FACTS, STATCOM, MATLAB, MATPOWER.
Ship Based Measurements of Seasonal Atmospheric Mercury Concentrations over the Baltic Sea
Authors: Hoeglind Hanna , Eriksson Sofia , Gardfeldt Katarina
Published: November 2017

Mercury is a toxic pollutant emitted from both natural sources and through human activities. A global interest in atmospheric mercury has risen ever since the discovery of the Minamata disease in 1956. Properties of gaseous elemental mercury enable long range transport which can cause pollution even in pristine environments. Total gaseous mercury (TGM) was measured from winter 2016 to spring 2017 over the Baltic Sea. A Tekran 2357A mercury analyser was installed aboard the research and icebreaking vessel Oden for the purpose of continuous measurements of gaseous mercury in ambient air. Measurements were performed during a campaign along the Swedish east coast and in the Bothnian Bay near Lulea during the icebreaking season. Data was evaluated from Gothenburg using a plotting software and back trajectories for air masses were calculated. The TGM average of 1.365 ± 0.054 ng/m3 during winter and 1.288 ± 0.140 ng/m3 during spring was calculated as well as a total average of 1.362 ± 0.158 ng/m3. Back trajectories showed a possible correlation of anthropogenic sources elevating the mercury background level in some areas. There were also indications of depleted air, i.e., air with lower concentrations than average, being transported from the Arctic to northern Sweden resulting in a drop in TGM levels.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), pre‐eclampsia and emergency caesarean section
Authors: Cuell James , Marriott Joanna , Greenwood Jaime
Published: November 2017

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a neurotoxic state with numerous clinical signs that may evolve rapidly and persist for weeks [1]. Diagnosis is confirmed with characteristic vasogenic cerebral oedema on cranial MRI [2].

Hypertension in pregnancy, notably pre‐eclampsia and eclampsia are a major contributor to maternal mortality and morbidity [3]. The condition of PRES is often, but not always, associated with hypertension, yet it is not commonly within the list of differential diagnoses for hypertensive patients in pregnancy [4].

We describe the case of a 25‐year‐old female patient presenting at term, requiring an emergency caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia that was converted to a general anaesthetic following an acute, sudden onset headache. She had no maternal hypertension or pre‐eclampsia and no relevant past medical history. After a subsequent uneventful post‐partum period she was discharged home, but was readmitted to hospital a few days later following a seizure and was subsequently diagnosed with PRES.
The challenge of effective policy implementation in Nigerian urban water utilities
Authors: Imonikhe O. M. , Moodley K.
Published: November 2017

The effectiveness of policy implementation is rapidly becoming a widely researched area in the water sector. Previously, most studies focused mainly on developing technical innovations for delivering sustainable water services and little attention was given to subject areas such as governance, policy implementation, and legislation. Now, water professionals and policy makers are beginning to recognise that efficient services occur when social, political, economic, environmental and technical issues are taken into consideration; hence, subject areas like policy implementation have started receiving attention as well. Thus, many nations such as the UK, Australia, and the USA are constantly aiming to establish best institutional practices for their water sector, while countries such as Nigeria are yet to establish effective policy implementation processes. This research examines the challenge of effective policy implementation in Nigerian urban water utilities. The research showed that policies and legislation developed were of commendable standards, but the implementation process was predominantly hindered by five factors. Hence, these factors will need to be managed actively if the Nigerian urban sector wishes to achieve the intended results from water legislation and policies.
Fe3O4-CS-L: a magnetic core-shell nano adsorbent for highly efficient methyl orange adsorption
Authors: Guo Shuangzhen , Zhang Jian , Li Xianlong , Zhang Fan , Zhu Xixi
Published: November 2017

A novel core-shell bio-adsorbent was fabricated by using biological materials for removing methyl orange (MO) from aqueous solution. The structure characteristics results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) shows that Fe3O4-CS-L has been successfully prepared. The effects of contact time, pH, temperature and initial concentration were explored. The results suggested pH was a negligible factor in adsorption progress. Kinetic studies showed that the experiment data followed pseudo-second-order model. Boyd mode suggested that external mass transfer showed a rather weak rate control for MO adsorption onto Fe3O4-CS-L. Equilibrium studies showed that isotherm data were the best described by Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacity of MO estimated to be 338.98 mg/g at 298 K. Moreover, the adsorption capacity of Fe3O4-CS-L can keep about 74% in the fifth adsorption–regeneration cycle. Thus, the Fe3O4-CS-L could be a kind of promising material for removing MO from wastewater.

The prevention of musculoskeletal injuries in field hockey: the systematic development of an intervention and its feasibility (Preprint)
Authors: Gouttebarge Vincent , Zuidema Victor
Published: November 2017

BACKGROUND

Field hockey is associated with a risk for musculoskeletal injuries, especially in the lower extremities. At present time, no measures focussing on the prevention of lower extremity injuries exist in the Netherlands. Consequently, a scientific research project has been initiated in the Netherlands aimed at developing and implementing an evidence-based intervention to prevent the occurrence of lower extremity injuries among young and adult recreational field hockey players.

OBJECTIVE

This article describes: (i) the systematic development of the intervention; and (ii) the assessment of its feasibility in terms of relevancy, suitability, satisfaction and usability.

METHODS

The intervention was developed according to the first four steps of the Intervention Mapping and Knowledge Transfer Scheme processes, namely: needs assessment; objective and target groups; content selection; development. Subsequently, a quasi-experimental research (one-group post-test design) was conducted among 35 young field hockey players and seven coaches. Participants were asked to use the intervention for three weeks and the degrees of relevancy, suitability, satisfaction and usability of the intervention were assessed by means of a questionnaire and a group interview.

RESULTS

First, the needs assessment conducted among the main actors within recreational field hockey revealed that an injury prevention intervention was needed, ideally delivered through videos via an application for smartphone/tablet or website. Second, the objective and target groups of the intervention were defined, namely to prevent or reduce the occurrence of lower extremity injuries among both young and adult recreational field hockey players. Third, preventive measures and strategies (e.g. core stability, strength, coordination) were selected in order to accomplish a decrease in injury incidence. Last, the ‘Warming-Up Hockey’ intervention ‘was developed, consisting of a warm-up programme (16 minutes) delivered by coaches including more than 50 unique exercises. The relevancy, satisfaction and usability of ‘Warming-Up Hockey’ were positively evaluated. Group interviews revealed especially that the warm-up programme in its current form was not suitable as a pre-match warm-up.

CONCLUSIONS

The feasibility of ‘Warming-Up Hockey’ was positively assessed by players and coaches. In accordance with the feasibility study, the duration of the intervention was reduced to 12 minutes, while a match-specific warm-up was developed. ‘Warming-Up Hockey’ was made available through an application for smartphone/tablet and a website. Prior to its nationwide implementation, the effectiveness of the intervention on injury reduction among field hockey players should be conducted.
La geografía de las oportunidades. El caso de las sedes de las universidades autónomas en municipios con poca oferta de educación superior
Authors: Mejía-Pérez Gustavo , Worthman Shaye S.
Published: November 2017

Una de las estrategias generadas por el gobierno, para aumentar la oferta y cobertura de educación superior (ES) en México, ha sido la desconcentración de las universidades autónomas (UA). Para conocer el panorama de los procesos de desconcentración de las UA se generó una base de datos con información de las páginas web de las universidades y el Anuario Estadístico 2014-2015, así como datos sociodemográficos de los municipios sede, disponibles en las bases del Consejo Nacional de Población, el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía y la Secretaría de Educación Pública. En los resultados se muestra un panorama nacional de la ampliación de la oferta de ES, a través de las sedes desconcentradas de las UA. Además, se analizan 36 casos en los que las sedes de las UA son la única opción para ingresar a la ES. El análisis de la información muestra que, en los municipios con poca oferta de ES, las sedes benefician a jóvenes de municipios mayormente agrícolas y con bajos niveles de escolaridad; sin embargo, los datos sugieren que estas sedes operan por debajo de su capacidad y que tienen dificultades para asegurar la permanencia de los alumnos y la conclusión exitosa de sus estudios.

Comportamiento térmico del Zr02 nanoestructurado después de su irradiación con iones pesados
Authors: Bejarano Gilberto , Berky Wolfgang , Balogh Adam George
Published: November 2017

Diferentes probetas nanocristalinas de ZrO2 se prepararon mediante la tecnología de condensación de gas inerte y sinterizadas a altas temperaturas. Las probetas se irradiaron posteriormente con iones, de Kr+ (Kript6n) con energía de 4 MeV y dosis de 2* 1015 iones/cm2 hasta 2*1016 iones/cm2. Se pudo observar, en dependencia de la dosis de irradiación, una transformación de la fase monoclínica a la tetragonal, utilizando la tecnología de Difracción de Rayos X. Las muestras se calentaron seguidamente hasta temperaturas de 1300oC, para lo cual , las muestras irradiadas con dosis de hasta 1*1016 iones/cm2 y más, presentaron una estructura tetragonal estable hasta 900°C, lo que está en concordancia con la temperatura de sinterización. A temperaturas mayores se pudo observar un contenido residual de la fase tetragonal menor que 5%. Un crecimiento del grano de ambas fases después de la irradiación no se pudo  observar.

Mysterious ginger: Enclaves of a boom crop in Thailand
Authors: Choenkwan Sukanlaya
Published: November 2017

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a perennial herb revered as one of the most popular and valued spices of the world. Ginger is the main cash crop supporting the livelihood and improving the economic level of many ginger growers of India, Indonesia, Nigeria and Bangladesh. Although Thailand was the fifth highest ginger producing country in the world, documentation and general recorded information on ginger cultivation, both for domestic production and export value trade, is very limited. The ginger production system is also confounding. Moreover, ginger in Thailand has received little attention from researchers. There is no research or publications about Thai production of ginger and ginger farmers in both Thai and English publications. This paper is an initial attempt to establish a ginger story in Thailand by using the Plaba sub-district in Loei province as a case study to document this overlooked story and bring attention from researchers or government officials who are interested in the possibility of identifying new agriculture possibilities and recognize potential crops for further development to support rural livelihoods.
Forestry, illegibility and illegality in Omkoi, Northwest Thailand
Authors: Anderson Bobby , Jongruck Patamawadee
Published: November 2017

Opium poppy cultivation in Thailand fell from 12,112 hectares in 1961 to 281 ha in 2015. One outlier exists: Chiang Mai province’s remote southwestern district, Omkoi. 90% of the district is a national forest reserve where human habitation is illegal. However, an ethnic Karen population has lived there since long before the law that outlawed them was created, unconnected to the state by road, with limited or no access to health, education and other services: they cultivate the majority of Thailand’s known opium poppy, because they have little other choice. They increasingly rely on cash-based markets, their lack of citizenship precludes them from land tenure which might incentivize them to grow alternate crops, and their statelessness precludes them from services and protections. Nor is the Thai state the singular Leviathan that states are often assumed to be; it is a collection of networks with divergent interests, of whom one of the most powerful, the Royal Forestry Department, has purposely made Omkoi’s population illegible to the state, and has consistently blocked the attempts of other state actors to complexify this state space beyond the simplicity of its forest. These factors make short-term, high-yield, high value, imperishable opium the most logical economic choice for poor Karen farmers residing in this “non-state” space.
Evaluation of the dens-to-axis length ratio and dens angle in toy-breed dogs with and without atlantoaxial instability and in healthy Beagles

OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare morphological characteristics of the dens in atlantoaxial instability (AAI)-predisposed toy-breed dogs (TBDs) with and without AAI and non–AAI-predisposed healthy Beagles.

ANIMALS 80 AAI-affected and 40 nonaffected TBDs and 40 Beagles.

PROCEDURES Each dog underwent CT examination of the cervical vertebral column. On median 3-D multiplanar reconstruction images, the dens angle (DA) was measured as were the lengths of the dens and the body of the axis; the dens-to-axis length ratio (ratio of the dens length to the axis body length [DALR]) was calculated. Data were compared among dog groups.

RESULTS The DALR in nonaffected TBDs and Beagles did not differ significantly. The mean DALR for AAI-affected TBDs was significantly lower than that for nonaffected TBDs. The mean DA of AAI-affected TBDs was significantly greater than that of Beagles and nonaffected TBDs.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated that a low DALR might be associated with a high probability of dens abnormalities in TBDs. Additionally, dens length in AAI-affected TBDs appeared to be smaller than that in non–AAI-affected TBDs, given the low DALR in AAI-affected TBDs. Further investigations to determine reference ranges of the DA and DALR and the potential usefulness of those variables as diagnostic markers for AAI in TBDs are warranted.

ABSTRAK

Banjir besar pada akhir tahun 2007 mengharuskan Pemerintah Kota Surakarta untuk melaksanakan program relokasi paska terjadinya banjir. Masyarakat pindah dan menempati lokasi relokasi namun tidak jauh dari bantaran Sungai Bengawan Solo. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai tingkat kerentanan sosial masyarakat terhadap banjir pasca relokasi yang bertempat tinggal di sempadan Sungai Bengawan Solo. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini meliputi data primer dan data sekunder. Teknik pengambilan sampel yaitu simple random sampling. Analisis data keruangan dilakukan dengan metode Spatial Multi Criteria Evaluation (SMCE). Penilaian kerentanan dengan menggunakan dua skenario yaitu skenario lingkungan dan skenario ekonomi. Hasil proses SMCE menunjukkan bahwa di lokasi relokasi, terdapat wilayah-wilayah yang masuk dalam kerentanan sosial tinggi dan sedang. Berdasarkan skenario lingkungan, menunjukkan bahwa seluruh kelurahan/desa lokasi relokasi memiliki kerentanan tinggi kecuali Kelurahan Mojosongo yang memiliki kerentanan sedang. Berdasarkan skenario ekonomi, menunjukan lokasi relokasi yang termasuk dalam kerentanan tinggi adalah Kelurahan Semanggi, Jebres, dan Desa Gadingan. Sedangkan lokasi relokasi yang termasuk dalam kerentanan sedang dalam skenario ekonomi adalah Kelurahan Mojosongo, Desa Laban, dan Desa Plumbon.

ABSTRACT

        Great flood at the end of 2007 requires Government of Surakarta to implement the relocation program after the flood. The community moved and occupied the relocation site but not far from the banks of Bengawan Solo River. The aims of the study are to assess the level of social vulnerability after relocation. The data used in this study consist of primary data and secondary data. The sampling technique used in this study was simple random sampling. Spatial data analysis was conducted using Spatial Multi Criteria Evaluation (SMCE). The vulnerability assessment using two scenarios, the environmental scenario and economic scenario. Results of the SMCE showed that in relocation sites there are areas that fall into high and medium social vulnerability. Based on the environmental scenarios, the relocation areas have high vulnerability except for Mojosongo which have moderate vulnerability. Based on the economic scenarios, the relocation area that included in high vulnerability are Semanggi, Jebres, and Gadingan.While the relocation area that included in moderate vulnerability using economic scenario are Mojosongo, Laban, and Plumbon.
