Adapting Implementation Science for Higher Education Research: The Systematic Study of Implementing Evidence-based Practices in College Classrooms
Authors: Soicher Raechel N. , Becker-Blease Kathryn A. , Bostwick Keiko
Published: May 2019

Finding better ways to implement effective teaching and learning strategies in higher education is urgently needed to increase retention rates, to increase measurable learning, and to close achievement gaps between historically disadvantaged and advantaged groups. Psychologists contribute to the science and art of teaching and learning in higher education under many flags, including cognitive psychology, science of learning, educational psychology, scholarship of teaching and learning in psychology, discipline-based educational research in psychology, design-based implementation research, and learning sciences. Productive, rigorous collaboration among researchers and instructors helps. However, translational and practice-based research alone have not closed the translation gap between the research lab and the college classroom. Fortunately, we can draw on the insights of decades of research on the analogous science-to-practice gap in medicine and public health. Health researchers now add to their toolbox of translational and practice-based research, the systematic study of the process of implementation in real work settings directly. In this article, we define implementation science for cognitive psychologists as well as educational psychologists, learning scientists, and others with an interest in use-inspired basic cognitive research, propose a novel model incorporating implementation science for translating cognitive science to classroom practice in higher education, and provide concrete recommendations for how use-inspired basic cognitive science researchers can better understand those factors that affect the uptake of their work with implementation science.
Iconicity and Structure in the Emergence of Combinatoriality
Authors: Hofer Matthias , Levy Roger Philip
Published: May 2019

One design feature of human language is its combinatorial phonology, allowing it to form an unbounded set of meaningful utterances from a finite set of building blocks. Recent experiments suggest how this feature can evolve culturally when continuous signals are repeatedly transmitted between generations. Because the building blocks of a combinatorial system lack independent meaning, combinatorial structure appears to be in conflict with iconicity, another property salient in language evolution. To investigate the developmental trajectory of iconicity during the evolution of combinatoriality, we conducted an iterated learning experiment where participants learned auditory signals produced using a virtual slide whistle. We find that iconicity emerges rapidly but is gradually lost over generations as combinatorial structure continues to increase. This suggests that iconicity biases, whose presence was revealed in a signal guessing experiment, manifest in nuanced ways. We discuss implications of these findings for different ideas about how biases for iconicity and combinatoriality interact in language evolution.
Investigating the impact of status and context on workplace incivility.
Authors: Irwin Amy , Irvine Charlotte Patricia , Bekes Barbara , Nordmann Emily
Published: May 2019

Incivility has been reported as having an adverse impact on student learning, faculty staff retention and student commitment within Higher Education. As such this behaviour has the potential to reduce student achievement and could have a financial impact on institutions. The aim of this two-stage study was to examine the impact of teaching context (lecture versus tutorial) and instigator status (staff versus student) on the perception and impact of incivility in academia. Study 1 recruited participants from Scotland and utilised a vignette-based approach to evaluate status and context effects across four fictional teaching scenarios, each illustrating the uncivil behaviour of ignoring someone. Study 2 recruited participants from the UK and Ireland and used an online survey to gather quantitative and qualitative data investigating uncivil behaviours within lectures and tutorials. The combined results indicate that the uncivil behaviours absenteeism, non-participation, ignoring and unrelated behaviours were all more frequent during a lecture in comparison to a tutorial. Uncivil behaviours were associated with a higher emotional impact within tutorials as opposed to lectures and an assertive response to incivility was more likely in a tutorial than a lecture. In terms of status student behavior was perceived as more uncivil than the equivalent staff behavior, yet a higher emotional response was reported for staff as opposed to student incivility, regardless of context. These results indicate the need for a tailored context-specific approach to addressing incivility within Higher Education, with practical implications discussed.
Character-based Surprisal as a Model of Reading Difficulty in the Presence of Errors
Authors: Hahn Michael , Keller Frank , Bisk Yonatan , Belinkov Yonatan
Published: May 2019

Intuitively, human readers cope easily with errors in text; typos, misspelling, word substitutions, etc. do not unduly disrupt natural reading. Previous work indicates that letter transpositions result in increased reading times, but it is unclear if this effect generalizes to more natural errors. In this paper, we report an eye-tracking study that compares two error types (letter transpositions and naturally occurring misspelling) and two error rates (10% or 50% of all words contain errors). We find that human readers show unimpaired comprehension in spite of these errors, but error words cause more reading difficulty than correct words. Also, transpositions are more difficult than misspellings, and a high error rate increases difficulty for all words, including correct ones. We then present a computational model that uses character-based (rather than traditional word-based) surprisal to account for these results. The model explains that transpositions are harder than misspellings because they contain unexpected letter combinations. It also explains the error rate effect: upcoming words are more difficultto predict when the context is degraded, leading to increased surprisal.

Okultne prakse, demonski sindrom i mračna trijada ličnosti
Authors: Šram Zlatko
Published: May 2019

U ovom smo istraživanju nastojali empirijski utvrditi (a) povezanost između okultnih praksi i demonskoga sindroma te (b) povezanost između mračne trijade ličnosti (makijavelizma, narcizma i psihopatije), okultnih praksi i demonskoga sindroma. Istraživanje je provedeno na prigodnom uzorku punoljetnih Hrvata u Vojvodini (N = 189). Radi ovoga istraživanja konstruirane su skale za mjerenje okultnih praksi i demonskoga sindroma. Mračna trijada ličnosti mjerena je upitnikom SD3 (Jones i Paulhus, 2014). Utvrdili smo da se okultne prakse i demonski sindrom nalaze u supstancijalnoj korelaciji (r = 0,57) te da se sve tri dimenzije mračne trijade nalaze u znatno većim pozitivnim korelacijama s okultnim praksama negoli s demonskim sindromom. Izgleda da demonski sindrom ima drugačiju psihopatološku pozadinu koju valja istražiti u budućim istraživanjima.
Propaganda Dakwah Beraroma Khilafah
Authors: Nur Achmad Nur
Published: May 2019

This paper discusses the ideology of Indonesian hizbuttahrir as a transnational Islamic group founded by Taqiyuddin An Nabhani in Jordan who sought to form a Khilafah Islamiyah government in Indonesia. After conducting an in-depth study, there were several findings that led to a spirit of ideology developing rapidly and even coloring the republic. First, there are three stages of propaganda propaganda method consisting of Tatsqif (introduction), Tafa'ul (formation of awareness and general opinion about khilafah), istilamul hukmi (revolutionary movement by building the daulah Islam with the khilafah system). Second, when Islam was made an ideology by HTI indirectly Islam as a message of divinity had entered the ideological realm which contained interests and power. Through this region that Islam is no longer present, but an understanding of Islam, which coloring it. It was at this time that the emotions and fantasies of the religious collective were built even into an undeniable force. When hearing the word HTI, what is reflected in his memory is Islam and that makes no sense. Thus, without any burden and full of public trust, he said that he did not defend HTI but instead defended Islam. One way to get out and survive from propaganda, this paper provides anticipatory offers based on the nationalism of the archipelago king, including social sensitivity, economic independence, as well as culture, justice and peace, togetherness and involvement of intellectuals, government, religious leaders, and communities to exercise control country.

He sendiai manpret the Al Baqarah verse 256 with the periwayatan path, both from the hadist and the mufassirin before, in lafadz “there is no complusion to (enter) Islam as someone is not forced to convert to Islam, the latters Alif and Lam actually entered lafadz to clarify the lafadz that Allah intended in his word there is no complusiaon to enter it, nemely Islam.

Alif and Lam as a subtitute for the latter ha wich was hidden in the lafadz call, than the meaning the verse when Allah is haigh and great, there is no compulistion to enter His religion, in fact the ruth is clear from the wrong path. In my opinion, this opinion is more concred with verse revelation, in Lafadz uall the most apropriate opinio about the meaning in my opinion is, that every person who was adultery with Allah, then mean worshiping other than him, sometimes by forcing others for worship him, sometime people on the basis ofthe  willingness of the those who worship themselves.

OBJECTIVE

The accuracy of stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrode implantation is an important factor in maximizing its safety. The authors established a quality assurance (QA) process to aid advances in implantation accuracy.

METHODS

The accuracy of three consecutive modifications of a frameless implantation technique was quantified in three cohorts comprising 22, 8, and 23 consecutive patients. The modifications of the technique aimed to increase accuracy of the bolt placement.

RESULTS

The lateral shift of the axis of the implanted bolt at the level of the planned entry point was reduced from a mean of 3.0 ± 1.6 mm to 1.4 ± 0.8 mm. The lateral shift of the axis of the implanted bolt at the level of the planned target point was reduced from a mean of 3.8 ± 2.5 mm to 1.6 ± 0.9 mm.

CONCLUSIONS

This QA framework helped to isolate and quantify the factors introducing inaccuracy in SEEG implantation, and to monitor ongoing accuracy and the effect of technique modifications.
Is supratotal resection achievable in low-grade gliomas? Feasibility, putative factors, safety, and functional outcome

OBJECTIVE

Surgery for low-grade gliomas (LGGs) aims to achieve maximal tumor removal and maintenance of patients’ functional integrity. Because extent of resection is one of the factors affecting the natural history of LGGs, surgery could be extended further than total resection toward a supratotal resection, beyond tumor borders detectable on FLAIR imaging. Supratotal resection is highly debated, mainly due to a lack of evidence of its feasibility and safety. The authors explored the intraoperative feasibility of supratotal resection and its short- and long-term impact on functional integrity in a large cohort of patients. The role of some putative factors in the achievement of supratotal resection was also studied.

METHODS

Four hundred forty-nine patients with a presumptive radiological diagnosis of LGG consecutively admitted to the neurosurgical oncology service at the University of Milan over a 5-year period were enrolled. In all patients, a policy was adopted to perform surgery according to functional boundaries, aimed at achieving a supratotal resection whenever possible, without any patient or tumor a priori selection. Feasibility, general safety, and tumor or patient putative factors possibly affecting the achievement of a supratotal resection were analyzed. Postsurgical patient functional performance was evaluated in five cognitive domains (memory, language, praxis, executive functions, and fluid intelligence) using a detailed neuropsychological evaluation and quality of life (QOL) examination.

RESULTS

Total resection was feasible in 40.8% of patients, and supratotal resection in 32.3%. The achievement of a supratotal versus total resection was independent of age, sex, education, tumor volume, deep extension, location, handedness, appearance of tumor border, vicinity to eloquent sites, surgical mapping time, or surgical tools applied. Supratotal resection was associated with a long clinical history and histological grade II, suggesting that reshaping of brain networks occurred. Although a consistent amount of apparently MRI-normal brain was removed with this approach, the procedure was safe and did not carry additional risk to the patient, as demonstrated by detailed neuropsychological evaluation and QOL examination. This approach also improved seizure control.

CONCLUSIONS

Supratotal resection is feasible and safe in routine clinical practice. These results show that a long clinical history may be the main factor associated with its achievement.
BACE1 Translation: At the Crossroads Between Alzheimer’s Disease Neurodegeneration and Memory Consolidation
Authors: Guix Francesc X. , Sartório Carmem L. , ILL-Raga Gerard
Published: May 2019

Human life unfolds not only in time and space, but also in the recollection and interweaving of memories. Therefore, individual human identity depends fully on a proper access to the autobiographical memory. Such access is hindered under pathological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, which affects millions of people worldwide. Unfortunately, no effective cure exists to prevent this disorder, the impact of which will rise alarmingly within the next decades. While Alzheimer’s disease is largely considered to be the outcome of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide accumulation in the brain, conceiving this complex disorder strictly as the result of Aβ-neurotoxicity is perhaps a too straight-line simplification. Instead, complementary to this view, the tableau of molecular disarrangements in the Alzheimer’s disease brain may be reflecting, at least in part, a loss of function phenotype in memory processing. Here we take BACE1 translation and degradation as a gateway to study molecular mechanisms putatively involved in the transition between memory and neurodegeneration. BACE1 participates in the excision of Aβ-peptide from its precursor holoprotein, but plays a role in synaptic plasticity too. Its translation is governed by eIF2 α phosphorylation: a hub integrating cellular responses to stress, but also a critical switch in memory consolidation. Paralleling these dualities, the eIF2 α-kinase HRI has been shown to be a nitric oxide-dependent physiological activator of hippocampal BACE1 translation. Finally, beholding BACE1 as a representative protease active in the CNS, we venture a new perspective on the cellular basis of memory, which may incorporate neurodegeneration in itself as a drift in memory consolidating systems.
Impact of poloidal field coil current disturbance on tokamak plasma shape
Authors: Chen Yuanyang , Bao Xiaohua , Gao Ge , Tang Yizhui
Published: May 2019

This paper studies the impact of Poloidal Field (PF) coil current disturbance on plasma shape in Experimental Advanced Superconductive Tokamak (EAST). First, the concept of the free-boundary equilibrium problem is studied. Based on the non-rigid plasma model, a free-boundary equilibrium solver developed in MATLAB software is presented to calculate the flux distribution and plasma profile of EAST plasma equilibrium, and the results are validated against the experiments. Second, given a typical double-null plasma equilibrium, the responses of plasma shape to the lower PF coil currents are computed using the orthogonal test method. The dependences of the elongation and triangularity of plasma shape on PF coil currents are obtained, showing that the currents in PF6 and PF8 have the greatest impact on triangularity and elongation for lower single-null (LSN) divertor configuration, respectively. And for double-null (DN) divertor plasma configuration, PF5 and PF7 play equally important roles due to the up-down symmetry. The conclusions will be useful for the design of EAST plasma shape feedback control.
“Showcase” vs. “Selective” Undergraduate Research Journals
Authors: Huard Linda Marie
Published: May 2019

As Western post-secondary institutions strive to adequately prepare undergraduate students for an ever-changing world, increased interest and investment has been directed towards the undergraduate learning experience. Listed as a high-impact practice (Kuh 10), undergraduate research, in particular, has been increasingly implemented and expanded in a number of institutions over the past several decades, as shown by the growth of the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR n. pag.). With the rise of undergraduate research culture, the undergraduate research journal (URJ) has emerged. URJs run within a university provide students with the opportunity to enhance their education through exposure to scholarly publishing, develop their research and communication skills, view themselves as content creators, produce higher quality work, and improve their graduate school applications or resumes by building essential skills for the changing job market. Despite the variability present in URJ formats, I have defined two broad categories which URJs fall into. Distinguished as “showcase” and “selective” journals, the two types are differentiated by the implementation of a peer-review process with “showcase” journals publishing papers that have not undergone peer-review and “selective” journals qualifying as scholarly publications. With the intent of providing the maximum benefit to the greatest number of students, a “showcase” journal, without the rigours of peer-review, may appear to be the best fit for achieving this goal as it has the potential to see more student papers published. However, the “selective” showcase journal provides the most cumulative benefits for the student, the institution, and the wider academic community. This is due to experiencing the submission process, which provides students with feedback from reviewers; the prestige of publishing in or housing a high-quality journal; and, growing a discipline’s body of knowledge. While providing any type of publishing platform for undergraduate student work will benefit students, institutions may wish to consider the additional worth of “selective” journals when developing an undergraduate research journal program.

The meaning we can draw from Gabriel's hadith as a way to understand the world of 'religious meaning' and be reminded that formal learning remains significant but that, interestingly, the Qur'an does not mention these activities while imperatively declaring "telling stories story (fa-qsis al-qasas) ". This paper aims to describe: how learning with storytelling methods: extension and intention of linguistic methods in the language of the Qur'an with an imperative form. The results of the discussion can be summarized as follows: the imperative statement in the verses of the Qur'an is not strange; has been the subject of much debate. The commandment has been mentioned in various forms in the Quran which imply reproach, ridicule, obedience, exclamation and so on. This method is associated with the rhetorical aspects of the Quran while the rhetoric is related to the linguistic wonders of the Quran
Konsep Proses Belajar Kognitif dalam Pespektif Islam antara Kontradiksi dan Kontradistingsi dengan Konsep Pembelajaran Kognitif Model Barat

Published: May 2019

Accepting the role for cognitive transmission means recognizing that humans are not empty slate at birth. The basic assumption is that every human being is born by bringing fitrah and equipped with various potentials and abilities that are different from other humans. With that provision, he then learns: first through things that can be sensed by using his five senses as a window of knowledge; then gradually from things that can be sensed to the abstract, and from what can be seen to be understood. This study aims to describe the concept of cognitive learning processes in Islamic perspectives between contradictions and contradictions with the western cognitive learning concept. From the results of the discussion it was concluded that: cognitive learning and teaching are more responsive to the power of their instincts because they are purely related to the ability to develop rational abilities (reason). Many found contradictions and defects in their theories, so that revisions and emerging new theories of cognitive succession. While in Islam there is only one verse "And Allah takes you out of your mother's stomach in a state of not knowing anything, and He gives you hearing, sight and heart, so that you are grateful" (An Nahl: 78) is able to break the concept of response to the instinctive power in terms this is called scular and in Islam there has never been a secular tradition that separates religion from life
Konsepsi Madrasah dan Perkembangannya dalam Inovasi Pengetahuan serta Pasang Surutnya

In the early days of the development of Islam, of course, systematic formal education had not been established. The ongoing education can be said to be informal; and this is also more related to the efforts of Islamic da'wah to spread and plant the basics of Islamic belief and worship. In this connection it is understandable why the process of Islamic education first occurred at the home of a certain friend of the Prophet SAW; the most famous is Dar al-Arqam. However, when the Islamic community was formed, education was held in the mosque. The educational process in both places is carried out in the learning circle. Every time Islam is introduced to any place, it is always introduced along with religious education while at the same time Arabic is always the medium of its teaching. That is why the desire to study Islam and its lingua-franca (Arabic) is always very high among Muslims. This also explains the nature of Arabic and Islamic studies which are inseparable as twin courses which are always in line with each other. The results of empirical investigations understand the character of Muslim subjectivity finding the most useful Qur'anic reading, because they discover how the vision of dynamic education and transformative pedagogy defines the content, composition and communication style of Islamic Divine discourse. This brought various scientific innovations and produced Islamic inventors from madrasas, but after the sixteenth century, the madrasa curriculum became trapped in traditional Islamic sciences, there was a close connection to this fact and the decline of the Ottoman Empire, on occasions that different. the effect of the Mongol invasion of the Muslim world that weakened the spirit of Muslims. the Muslim world collapsed and stagnated. Apart from the two things above, Often, innovative new approaches are dismissed as attempts to damage or damage Muslim discursive traditions or worse, are considered conspiracies hatched by Orientalists and carried out by Muslim clerics who are deceitful and fickle

Educators in the education process play a strategic role, especially in efforts to shape the character of the nation through the development of personality and desired values. The urgency of educators in the learning process is illustrated in the Arabic expression that was delivered by A. Malik Fadjar, "Al-Tariqah ahammu min al-maddah walakinna al-mudarris ahammu min al-tariqah (methods are more important than material, but educators are more important than methods). The development of educator resources in education is influenced by various aspects, including: the need to increase educator competency both theoretical and practical knowledge, the independence of educators to carry out professional development, support resources to carry out professional development, the willingness of educators as learners, and the ability of educators to actualize results development of professionalism which is demonstrated through the performance of educators and the effectiveness of educators in carrying out their duties. Improvement and development of educator resources starts from the acceptance of new educators. Selection of prospective educators needs to be done strictly in accordance with the requirements and conditions that have been determined

Effect of Irrigation on the Changes in Wetland Rice Productivity (Oryza Sativa L.) due to a Climate Change in North Sumatra Province
Authors: Hadi Hasbul , Chalil Diana
Published: May 2019

Climate change is one of serious threats to the agricultural sector. In North Sumatra Province, climate change is characterized by shorter rainy season with higher rainfall. To overcome such climate change, it is necessary to provide irrigation that can accommodate excessive rain water and distribute it in times of shortage. Therefore, changes in rainfall will not be too influential on productivity. This is especially important for plants that need a lot of water like rice. To analyze the influence of irrigation in North Sumatra Province, the data were collected from 27 regencies/cities in 2011 – 2015 and were analyzed using a Simple Linear Regression analysis model. The estimation results show that irrigation can push the productivity variances. The irrigation regression coefficient of -0.133432 shows that each increase of irrigation area by 1% will decrease the productivity variation by 0.13 tons/ha

This research was conducted for two months, from July to August 2017. The methods used in data collection were: sampling of breeders and other marketing institutions selected by snowballing sampling technique and data collection methods was done by interviewing techniques using questionnaire. Data analysis included: marketing costs, marketing margin,farmer share and profit cost ratio of each marketing channel. The results of this study indicated that there were four marketing channels. The marketing margin on the Channel II showed the smallest cost margin and the largest profit margin so that it showed the largest cost-benefit ratio. The largest farmer share was obtained on the Channel IV but this channel  used only the retailers as an intermediate channel (one level) and relatively few exchanged eggs. So it was concluded that the Channel II was the most efficient channel becauseof the smallest cost and that the  profits were spread evenly among all the marketing institutions that play a role. The need for chicken eggs in Pematangsiantar Municipality was supplied from outside the city (63.33%) and filled by breeders from within the city(36.66%).

Poultry is an important sub sector of livestock and is ahead of all other sub sectors in economic growth. Broilers production is a specialized branch of poultry farming. This research was conducted in Mansehra is the region where considerable amount of commercial broiler production takes place. The region of the study has a high concentration of commercial activities, infrastructural facilities like veterinary care as well as climate that favor the production and marketing of poultry meat products. This research was conducted in nine villages of district Mansehra namely Kotli Pain, KotliBala, Kheil, Tanda, Bafa, Chatar Plain, Ahl, Batal and Mongandawraha. The purpose of the research was to analyze the competitive advantage of broiler farming. There were 276 broiler farms in District Mansehra. Simple Random Sampling Technique was used for data collection from 70 respondents. Average total cost of production was found Rs. 738238.11 having average farm size of 3605 broilers. Feed and one day old chick costs constitute 90.01% of the total cost. Average expenditure on production per broiler was Rs. 220.20 having net profit per broiler of Rs. 24.11.Based on Porter study (1990), average variable cost (C) was used as a proxy for competitive advantage. Results of regression analysis show that the main factors that significantly affect competitive advantage of broiler farming in the study area was feed cost, day old chick cost, labor and medication cost while capacity utilization and extension service contacts negatively and significantly affect cost. It means that reducing the above mentioned costs and using installed capacity and extension service contacts will reduce production cost and will promote competitive advantage of broiler production. Broiler production should be encouraged through better feed management practices and also by feeding broilers with nutritious feed. Broiler farmers should be encouraged to fully use their installed capacity of their farm.

One of the organisms that helps in decomposition of oil palm empty fruit bunches is Oryctes rhinoceros L. larvae. This is because of in the gut of the larvae there are many cellulolytic bacteria and lignoliytic. The process of accelerating the decomposition of oil palm empty fruit bunches into compost can be done by optimizing the work of the bacteria. The aim of this research is to obtain cellulolytic and lignolytic bacteria from larvae O. rhinoceros L.. The research succeeded to isolate 24 isolates of cellulolytic bacteria and lignolytic bacterial isolates from the gut of O. rhinoceros larvae. Based on qualitative test, 9 isolate bacteria produced cellulolytic index above 2. The highest cellulolytic index was generated by ORL19 isolate, while the lignolytic index obtained ORL6 isolate. Based on macroscopic and microscopic identification of bacteria, biochemical and physiological tests,  it was found ORL 6 belongs to the genus Bacillus sp. while the ORL 19 belongs to the genus Citrobacter sp..

Many banana plants in Indonesia have been cultivated by the community, one banana plant that has a high potential and has a chance to be developed is barangan banana (Musa acuminata Colla). The aim of this study is to find out the response of the growth of banana suckers using different planting media. This study was conducted in Kumbang Jaya Village of Badar District of Southeast Aceh Regency, which took place from April to June 2017. A non factorial randomized block design (RBD) consisting of 3 levels of treatment with 4 replications was used as a research design in this study. The level of treatment is PM1: soil without mixture, PM2: soil + manure + sand (1: 1: 1) and PM3: soil + husk + sand (1: 1: 1). Parameters observed were plant height aged 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after planting (WAP), stem diameter aged 2, 4, 6 and 8 WAP and number of leaves aged 2, 4, 6 and 8 WAP. The results showed that different planting media had a very significant effect on plant height at 8 WAP, number of leaves aged 6 WAP and significantly affected the stem diameter of 8 WAP. But the effect was not significant on plant height aged 2, 4 and 6 WAP, stem diameter aged 2, 4 and 6 WAP and the number of leaves aged 2, 4 and 8 WAP. For plant height, stem diameter and number of leaves aged 2, 4 and 6 WAP, the growth produced by each treatment tends to be the same

The central theme of this research endeavour was to compute the cost and net returns of wheat crop. This study has also highlighted the significant variables contributing in wheat productivity. The study universe was two focused villages namely Malok-Korona and Peer-Qila of Ekaghund Tehsil, Mohmand Agency. The proportional allocation sampling technique was used to get the required sample size of 70 respondents. However, 26 respondents from Malok-Korona and 44 respondents from Peer-Qila were interviewed through face to face interview technique. The marked findings of this study divulge that vast majority of the farmers (61.43%) were using certified seed and the study area was predominantly dependent upon rainfall as reported by 60 % of the respondents. It is further revealed that the mean cost of production incurred by the sampled growers was estimated as Rs. 30,000 per acre. Income trend observed by 70 per cent of the respondent through wheat crop was found Rs.40000 per acre. The average income of farmers through wheat crop was Rs.35286 per acre. The estimated results of regression analysis corroborate the expected sign of the majority of coefficient of explanatory variables. Among explanatory variables seed, irrigation and labor days were significant while urea and FYM were found insignificant for crop yield. The study recommends that attempts for awareness, supply of loans, inputs like fertilizer, pesticide, apt agriculture approaches, demonstration plots and training programs should be made available to farmers for higher wheat production in Mohmand Agency.

Every year, the number of people who want to own a house by credit increase, therefore the chances of increasing problem loans will be greater. Non-Performing Loan (NPL) is an indicator to assess the performance of bank functions. The higher the NPL value, the performance of the bank is considered worse. In order to maintain the caution of banks (creditors) in the provision of credit, the bank needs to assess and determine the criteria of debtors who can be given credit. So the bank can make decisions precisely and accurately. In this research, the Researcher will design decision support system with Mamdani fuzzy logic method with the resulted output in the form of "rejected" or "approved" decision. The accuracy rate in this study is 98%. 2% of the difference consists of 63.64% is a debtor with NPL credit status (problematic). After the system was designed in this study, the researcher conducted an analysis to see the user behavior when using the system. The method used is Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The result of TAM analysis is the simultaneous relationship among of all variables on the acceptance of information technology (acceptance of IT) have a positive impact. However, a partial relationship between perceived usefulness and attitude toward using does not have a positive effect.
