Illuminance Level Measurement at Lower Working Plane Height in Islamic Religious School
Authors: Raja Mohd Yazit Raja Nur Syaheeza , Mohd Husini Eliana , Khamis Mohd Khedzir , Zolkefli Megat Faridrullah , Dodo Yakubu Aminu
Published: November 2020

Islamic religious school is an institution that integrates Quran hafazan (memorization) in the curriculum. Between 2011 to 2017, estimated that 900 new Islamic religious schools were established in Malaysia due to high demands. Designing a classroom layout that receives sufficient daylight is important because it influences the students’ task performance such as reading and writing. The standards recommend that any classrooms require an illuminance level between 300 lx to 500 lx when measured at working plane height between 800mm to 900mm, although the working plane height of rehal used for hafazan is between 250mm to 300mm. This study focused on the illuminance level measured at rehal working plane height for Arabic handwriting as a hafazan learning task in two selected standardised classrooms at Kolej Genius Insan. The students were required to rewrite the modified Balsam Alabdulkader-Leat (BAL) Arabic eye chart, where the students’ Arabic handwriting performance were evaluated based on their word per minute (wpm) scores. Both classrooms’ average illuminance level were 507 lx to 603 lx, which were too high based on standards and guidelines. The average Arabic handwriting scores for both classrooms were  9.4 and 12.6 wpm, which shows that the inefficient average illuminance level has caused the students’ performance to be very low. It can be concluded that the existing standardised classroom layout design was not suitable for hafazan learning tasks at rehal working plane height. Thus, the classroom layout design for Islamic religious schools needed further studies, which implicated the unsatisfied built environment of the classrooms and the school education for Islamic religious schools in Malaysia.

Authors: Emeih Wahed Wan Juliana , Saad Noorhayati , Hj. Mohd Yusoff Saiful Bahari
Published: November 2020

The beauty of Pua Kumbu is not merely a cultural expression but it also represents the wealth of information to pass from one generation to another. The art of creating Pua Kumbu design motifs is based on the body of knowledge gathered through collective memory, and the conservation of Pua Kumbu's knowledge and history. The aesthetic perception stimuli from the audiences are complicated cognitive processes. Hence, this study aims to measure the aesthetic perception of 400 participants on design motifs applied on the cloth according to their gender and background using ARS-Revised questionnaire. The findings revealed that female participants exhibited a greater knowledge of Pua Kumbu compared to their male counterparts. Participants from Sarawak perceived higher in cognitive stimulation, knowledge, and self-reference which indicated that they were more likely to be knowledgeable about Pua Kumbu. Participants from Sabah demonstrated the lowest in both cognitive stimulation and expertise despite Sabah being situated in the same region as Sarawak in Borneo. Gender and background of the participants are concluded to exert significant influence on the knowledge in Pua Kumbu design motifs. Knowledge of Pua Kumbu is crucial for the appreciation of aesthetics in preserving the culture and heritage of Sarawak, Malaysia at its best. The findings of this study may interest scholars and researchers in the unique Malaysian heritage.

How much is the glitch? Das digitale Paradigma als Herausforderung und Chance für die historische Musikwissenschaft
Authors: Pasdzierny Matthias
Published: November 2020

Musicology has long since been established as central part of the so-called Digital Humanities. For many areas of music culture as a whole, digitization is considered the central paradigm of our time. But what exactly does this mean, and is it not unusual for technical and cultural developments to be thrown through and into each other? In literary studies as well as in cultural and contemporary history, a critical discussion has already begun on the multiple narratives and projections about „(post)digitality“, which are particularly common in science itself. Against this background, the article pleads for taking digitality seriously as an object of investigation in historical musicology (and possibly also in the history of musicology) and for initiating a corresponding field of research. For example, what promises and debates about loss associated with digitality can be observed within music culture at different times and in different contexts, but also what sources could provide information about this. The introduction of the CD in the 1980s and the emergence of the EDM sub-genre Glitch in the mid-1990s serve as starting examples for such a critical-historical view of and on digitality.
Digitale Fassungsvergleiche am Beispiel von Beethovens Eigenbearbeitungen
Authors: Cox Susanne , Sänger Richard
Published: November 2020

In its second module, „Beethovens Werkstatt“ deals with five of Beethoven’s compositions which exist both in their original versions and as authentic arrangements (Piano Sonata op. 14/1 arranged for string quartet, Septett op. 20 and Trio op. 38, Opferlied op. 121b and Bundeslied op. 122 as piano reductions, Große Fuge op. 133 as arrangement for piano for four hands op. 134). To demonstrate Beethoven’s arrangement practices, the original version of each work is synoptically linked with its arrangement in a digital edition called „VideApp Arr“. Through digital tools for comparison the relationships between the two versions can be investigated from different perspectives. It becomes visible how the versions are related to each other both by „invariance“ (text elements with the same structure), by „variance“ (text elements with a similar structure) and, in special cases, also by „difference“ (text elements without corresponding parameters). Each view within the „VideApp Arr“ is generated from the underlying MEI data.

A proxy-based high-throughput experimental approach was used to explore the stability and activity of Co-based Fischer Tropsch Synthesis catalysts with different promoters on various supports. The protocol is based on the estimation by XRD of active phase, Co, particle size and relative amounts of crystalline phases, Co to support. Sequential libraries samples enabled exploration of four Co loadings with five different promoters on six support materials. Catalysts stable to aging in syngas, displaying minimal change of particle size or relative area, were evaluated for their activity under industrial conditions. This procedure identified SiC as support for stable catalysts and a combination of Ru and Hf to promote the formation hcp Co. Unsupported bulk samples of Co with appropriate amounts of Ru and Hf revealed that the formation of hcp Co is independent of the support. The hcp Co containing catalyst presented the highest catalytic activity and C5+ selectivity amongst the samples tested in this study confirming the effectiveness of the proxy-based high-throughput method.
Mechanistic Studies of Pd(II)-Catalyzed E/Z Isomerization of Unactivated Alkenes: Evidence for a Monometallic Nucleopalladation Pathway
Authors: Matsuura Rei , Karunananda Malkanthi , Liu Mingyu , Nguyen Nhi , Blackmond Donna , Engle Keary
Published: November 2020

Pd(II)-catalyzed E/Z isomerization of alkenes is a common process—yet is largely uncharacterized, particularly with non-conjugated alkenes. In this work, the mechanism of Pd(II)-catalyzed E/Z isomerization of unactivated olefins containing an aminoquinoline-based amide directing group is probed using in situ kinetic analysis, spectroscopic studies, kinetic modeling, and DFT calculations. The directing group allows for stabilization and monitoring of previously undetectable intermediates. Collectively, the data are consistent with isomerization occurring through a monometallic nucleopalladation mechanism.

Around two-thirds of the earth’s surface covered with water, it is obvious that water is among the most significant aspects that are essential for the life of human being. It is not only important to live, but also important to take a part in social and financial development. Water is God’s personalized gift, as well as the necessity of life. Due to high level of gluttony, misused play of people with the environment and the global climate, shift results in progressive diminishing of natural resources. The problems of freshwater and food security at global level linked to the overwhelming population of the world. To overcome the food and water scarcity challenge, there is required to transfer the freshwater from agriculture sector to other straining purposes. Pakistan is facing the meager water scarcity crises in the last few years, as water is becoming scarce to any specified usage. The quickly growing population, expansion of drainage regions, increasing urbanization and industrialization put a lot of stress on available water supplies. At the moment, there is dire need to harvest rain water by constructing more dams and focus on effective management strategies for further use. Specifically, authors are recommended that, water should be provided demand base instead of supply base irrigation system. Moreover, in addition to land tax, tax on irrigation water quantity/usage should be rectified.
RAINFALL CHANGE DETECTION IN AFRICA USING REMOTE SENSING AND GIS BETWEEN 1999 – 2018

Published: November 2020

Many researchers used gauge data from weather stations for rainfall estimate across Africa. Since Africa lies within the tropics, there is possibility for variations in rain received from place to place. Therefore, there is need for excessive density of the gauges for accurate estimate of Africa’s rainfall. Due to numerous challenges, these cannot be achieved. This necessitates the application of remote sensing and GIS to detect changes in rainfall amount in Africa between 1999 and 2018. The data used was obtained from remote sensing satellite (TRMM) and analyzed using GIS application (IDRISI Taiga). The Simple Image Differencing was performed on the two annual mean images covering January to December, 1999 and January to December, 2018. This provides reliable information on rainfall estimate that can complement sparsely and unevenly distributed rain gauge network in Africa. The analysis shows that latitudinal locations, to some extent, determine spatial distribution of rainfall in Africa. It is also observed that significant changes in rainfall rate are mainly found around coastal regions. It was recommended that adequate ground data it needed to confirm these findings. African countries should provide adequate and justly distributed weather stations with on-net database for easy access to the data.

Authors: VEPAYEV Arslan , DENİZ Ozan
Published: November 2020

In this study, natural gas production and consumption of Turkmenistan has been mentioned for years. Leaving the Soviet system in 1991, Turkmenistan started to take the first steps to move its economy from a closed system to a free market system. To raise its economy to the level of developed states, Turkmenistan has come by implementing new regulations in social and industrial areas within 10 years.
Turkmenistan has chosen an international, open, and pluralist economic model since its independence. This model has projected the "10-Year National Development Program" to ensure the economic development of the country and to be carried out according to the targets and plans. The main goal of the development program can be shown as placing the country among the first world countries, a social market economy, managing the country within its means, and encouraging international investors to structural and economic investments.
Today, World trade represents the liberalization trend. Liberalization of trade and markets provides the necessary foreign savings and foreign exchange needs to finance economic development with the help of foreign investments in developing countries such as Turkmenistan. Being a country with very rich natural resources, Turkmenistan aims to improve the country's economy by processing these resources and presenting them to the world markets. According to data in 2009, Russia is the largest importer of natural gas, the country's most important export product, while Iran is the second. During this period, exports to China are at a low level. However, while gas exports to Russia and Iran decreased to very low levels over time, China became the biggest consumer of Turkmenistan natural gas. In this, the relations of countries, energy needs, and investments made by demanding countries and the geographical distribution trends of the natural gas consumption-supply demand balance in the world. 2009-2019 is the economic advancement decade in the energy sector of Turkmenistan as a result of exploring and producing new gas reserves in the country, after which consumers gained conscious consumption as well as concluding new agreements with investors.

Published: November 2020

Obesity is a disease that is affected by environmental conditions as well as genetic predisposition. This is a case-control study that aimed to investigate the relationship between FTO rs9939609 polymorphism and obesity. The relation between the rs9939609 polymorphism and obesity in 80 ower-weight (BMI≥30) and 131 under/normal weight (BMI<30) subjects was examined. The allele and genotype frequencies of each group were determined by the allele counting method. The relationship between single nucleotide exchange and obesity risk was calculated using the odds ratio. Statistical analyzes were performed with SPSS 18.0.
Results: The frequency of T allele was 0.58 and 0.45 respectively in the healthy and overweight group when allele frequencies of both groups were compared. The change in allele frequency increased the obesity rate by 1.8 fold. The rs99399609 polymorphism increases obesity risk by2.7 fold in the homozygotes model.
Conclusions: In this research, we found statistically significant results in allele frequency difference and allele positivity. The relationship between rs9939609 polymorphism and obesity will be highlighted by larger population studies.

This paper is about a certain type of contested documents (the secret police files known as “informative notes”). It employs a neo-documentalist framework and thematic analysis to examine informative notes on four major intellectuals in communist Romania. The paper focuses on three emerging themes: the power effects that the materiality of informative notes has had, after 1989, on Romanian society; the reasons informers interpreted the writing conventions of this textual genre in radically different ways; and the epistemic aspects of this type of document. I emphasize that, despite their nature as historic documents, secret police files have uncanny relevance for understanding the present-day societies of mass surveillance.

Il utilise un cadre néo-documentaliste et une analyse thématique pour examiner des notes informatives sur quatre intellectuels majeurs de la Roumanie communiste. Le document se concentre sur trois thèmes émergents: les effets de pouvoir que la matérialité des notes informatives a eu, après 1989, sur la société roumaine; les raisons pour lesquelles les informateurs ont interprété les conventions d'écriture de ce genre textuel de manières radicalement différentes; et les aspects épistémiques de ce type de document. J'insiste sur le fait que, malgré leur nature historique, les fichiers de la police secrète ont une pertinence incroyable pour comprendre les sociétés de surveillance de masse actuelles.

This paper explores the zero waste (ZW) activities and strategies that members of 5 ZW Instagram communities employ in their daily lives. A Thematic Analysis of 2,000 posts revealed that members engage in a total of 39 individual ZW activities, which speaks to a level of commitment that far exceeds any trends or fads. The comments from the ZW members suggest that the ZW lifestyle encompasses people’s everyday practices and consumption, and that members engage in private and ongoing actions that interweave into their daily lives.

Les commentaires des membres de ZD suggèrent que le style de vie ZD englobe les pratiques et la consommation quotidiennes des gens, et que les membres s'engagent dans des actions privées et continues qui s'entremêlent dans leur vie quotidienne.
United Church of Canada's Reconciliation Documents and the Indexing of Collective Memory
Authors: Nord Martin
Published: November 2020

Following a distinct trajectory in the field of Knowledge Organization, I explore how indexes are part of the structure of our everyday lives. Drawing on extensive archival research, I look at documents created and used by the United Church of Canada as part of its reconciliation work with Indigenous peoples. I conclude that these documents index the narrative the church tells about itself—and therefore its identity—as part of the development and maintenance of the UCC’s evolving collective memory. My findings reinforce Knowledge Organization’s new line of inquiry while also complicating its message concerning the nature of infrastructure.
En suivant une trajectoire unique issue du domaine de l'organisation des connaissances, j'explore comment les index font partie de la structure de notre vie quotidienne. En m'appuyant sur des recherches archivistiques approfondies, j'examine les documents créés et utilisés par l'Église Unie du Canada dans le cadre de son travail de réconciliation avec les peuples autochtones. Je conclus que ces documents indexent le récit que l’Église raconte sur elle-même - et donc sur son identité - dans le cadre du développement et du maintien de la mémoire collective en évolution de l’ÉUC. Mes conclusions renforcent cette nouvelle avenue de recherche du domande de l'organisation des connaissances, tout en complexifiant son message par rapport la nature de l’infrastructure.

Published: November 2020

Introdução: A pandemia pela COVID-19 é menos incidente na população pediátrica quando comparada à adulta, sendo apenas 2% dos casos abaixo dos 20 anos. Recentemente, a infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2 em crianças e adolescentes está sendo associada a Síndrome Inflamatória Multissistêmica Pediátrica (SIM-P), doença de Kawasaki-like. Objetivo: Relatar a ocorrência de uma das apresentações clínicas da COVID-19 na infância, a SIM-P, ressaltando suas manifestações clínicas, laboratoriais e manejo clínico. Descrição do Caso: Feminina, 9 anos, admitida com dor abdominal e febre há três dias, além de contato domiciliar com infectado pelo SARS-CoV-2 nos últimos 30 dias. Encontrava-se febril, com sobrepeso e abdome distendido em região epigástrica. Evoluiu com máculas eritematosas em dorso, edema e fissuras labiais, artralgia, mialgia, vômitos, hemorragia subconjuntival, língua em framboesa, sudorese, taquidispneia e tonteira. Exames com hemoglobina de 11,4 g/dL, 4.200 leucócitos, proteína C reativa de 18 mg/dL, tomografia computadorizada de tórax com pequenos linfonodos no espaço pré-vascular. Recebeu 1,5 mg/kg/dia de Imunoglobulina Humana com rápida regressão e melhora clínica. Discussão: A SIM-P ocorre em dias a semanas após uma infecção aguda pelo SARS-CoV-2. Suas manifestações clínicas se assemelham à doença de Kawasaki. Na maior parte dos casos, o teste de SARS-CoV-2 PCR é positivo demonstrando infecção recente, ocorrendo em crianças mais velhas, com marcadores inflamatórios exuberantes e disfunção de múltiplos órgãos. Conclusão: Estudos epidemiológicos e clínicos adicionais são necessários para melhor compreensão da fisiopatologia dessa nova síndrome. Embora rara, é necessário alertar a comunidade pediátrica, para ampliar e otimizar o reconhecimento com tratamento precoce da mesma.

Resumo

O Brasil teve o primeiro caso registrado de Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) no dia 26 de fevereiro de 2020. Desde o início da pandemia houve muito desconhecimento da doença e suas sequelas. Atualmente sabe se que o coronavírus pode causar a sintomatologia de um resfriado comum incluindo febre, tosse, dor de garganta, congestão nasal, mal estar geral, fadiga, cefaleia, mialgia e anosmia. Este estudo tem como objetivo destacar o aumento da preocupação entre os médicos, devido ao crescente número de casos relatados de anosmia em pacientes com COVID-19, pois sugere dano viral direto aos receptores olfatórios e degeneração neuronal retrógrada das vias de condução centrais. Nesse contexto, para avaliação de um paciente com perda olfativa é necessário ter uma anamnese em que conste o tempo de perda, fatores concomitantes como a Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave do Coronavírus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), se há ausência completa ou parcial (que caracteriza uma hiposmia) e outros sintomas nasais associados. Além disso, como método diagnóstico é fundamental a avaliação do olfato a partir da apresentação de substâncias odoríferas ao paciente e pedir para nomeá-las. A queixa de diminuição ou perda total do olfato durante o cenário pandêmico atual evidencia um sintoma de alerta que necessita de investigação médica para confirmar a suspeita de infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2 com diagnóstico precoce e controle de disseminação da doença.

Authors: Silvestre García de la Puente , Karla Adney Flores Arizmendi , Junior Rafael Gahona Villegas , Paola Andrea Yepes Genoy , Elena Lissette Garza Guerrero
Published: November 2020

Background: Down syndrome (DS) is associated with various congenital diseases and malformations, including those of the kidneys and urinary tract. It has been thought that renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is more frequent in this population. The objective of this study was to assess the frequency of RTA and, secondarily, of other renal and urological disorders in persons with DS. Method: An observational, ambispective, descriptive and cross-sectional study of patients diagnosed with RTA, or suspected kidney or urological disorders, was carried out from July 2016 to September 2017 at the Down syndrome clinic of the Mexican National Institute of Paediatrics. Urinalysis was performed, along with analyses of venous blood gas, sodium, potassium, chlorine, calcium, phosphorus, albumin and creatinine. Those with any abnormal values were referred to nephrology for diagnostic evaluation. Results: Of a total of 700 patients seen at the clinic, 47 met the selection criteria. Of these, 32 had no RTA or other renal or urological alterations. The remaining 15 continued to the second phase of the study, where 6 were diagnosed with nephropathy or uropathy (RTA, systemic arterial hypertension, monosymptomatic familial haematuria, mild renal failure secondary to reflux nephropathy, urinary tract infection or right ureteropelvic stenosis). Four had mild metabolic acidosis without meeting the criteria for diagnosis of RTA. Conclusion: RTA is not more common in children with Down syndrome. Nephropathies and uropathies should be investigated in the evaluation of DS patients.

Published: November 2020

Gastro-retentive dosage forms enable prolonged and continuous input of the drug to the upper parts of the gastrointestinal tract and improve the bioavailability of medications those are characterized by a narrow absorption window. The purpose of this research was to develop a novel gastro retentive drug delivery system based on direct compression method for sustained delivery of active agent to improve the bioavailability, reduce the number of doses and to increase patient compliance. Gastro retentive floating tablets of terbinafine were prepared by direct compression method using altered concentrations of HPMC K4, HPMC K15 and PVP K30 as polymers. The prepared tablets of terbinafine were evaluated tablet hardness, uniformity of weight, friability, uniformity of content, in vitro buoyancy test, swelling index, in vitro dissolution study and stability study. All the compositions were resulted in adequate Pharmacopoeial limits. Compatibility studies was execution during FTIR shown that there was absence of probable chemical interaction between pure drug and excipients. The varying concentration of gas generating agent and polymers was found to affect on in-vitro drug release and floating lag time. In vitro drug release of floating gastro retentive tablet of terbinafine shown that the formulation F5 was found to be the best formulation as it releases 96.22% terbinafine in a controlled manner for an extended period of time (up to 480 min). The release data was fitted to various mathematical models such as Higuchi, Korsmeyer-Peppas, First order and Zero order to evaluate the kinetics and mechanism of the drug release. Prepared floating tablets of terbinafine may prove to be a potential candidate for safe and effective controlled drug delivery over an extended period of time for gastro retentive drug delivery system.
Need Analysis for Choosing English Teaching Concepts at IPDN
Authors: Kurniawati Layla , Wahyono Edi
Published: November 2020

English is a subject that given in the three curriculum systems at IPDN has not been implemented maximally. The three existing curriculum systems provide almost the same material and there are not clear and obvious differences. In order to improve the teaching conditions, need analysis is used to find and determine what English learning materials are appropriate and suitable for teaching and learning at IPDN. A descriptive qualitative approach through document study, interview, and observation was used in this research. From the analysis, teaching English must be developed with the collaborative approach among education personnel (lecturers, trainers, fellows) and students in the three curriculum systems at IPDN. English teaching emphasizes reading skills, where teaching reading focuses on English for Specific Purposes of Government administration as core knowledge.
