Published: June 2020

The important role of private universities is increasingly felt in the midst of the limited number of state universities. Private universities are proven to be able to accommodate 300% more students than state universities. Thus, so that human resources are qualified, the quality of private higher education institutions needs to have a serious concern from the leader. This research is a quantitative descriptive study that wants to capture the performance of private universities based on the quality and performance of lecturers, management performance and learning outcomes. The study was conducted at 4 (four) private universities in Bandung and Cimahi, West Java Province which had educational characteristics. The used data are obtained from documents and are strengthened by data from surveys and interviews for each variable of university performance. All data were quantified using a Likert scale and categorized into four qualifications namely very good, good, moderate, and low, and analyzed the correlation with student learning outcomes. The results of the study indicate that the performance components of private universities, in general, need to be improved because they are still in moderate qualifications. The management component has the highest score, followed by sequential components of lecturer quality and lecturer performance. In general, student learning outcomes are also in the moderate category. The three components analyzed have a very strong influence on student learning outcomes.

Published: June 2020

The success of a vocational school in achieving its goals is greatly determined by how innovative the school members, which include teachers as frontliners in educational quality, are. Innovativeness does not emerge and develop in vacuum. It is closely related to other factors such as personality and transformational leadership. 238 private vocational high school teachers in Bogor City were selected as sample in the present study, which implemented quantitative approach using survey method.Based on the findings, it was concluded that: (1) there was a positive correlation between personality and innovativeness, with coefficient of correlation (ry1) of 0.318 and coefficient of determination (ry12) of 10.14% through regression equation Ŷ = 47.669 + 0.597X1, (2) there was a positive correlation between transformational leadership and innovativeness, with coefficient of correlation (ry2) of 0.261 and coefficient of determination (ry22) of 6.83% through regression equation Ŷ = 84.113 + 0.207X2,and (3) there was a positive correlation between personality and transformational leadership variables, collectively, and innovativeness variable, with coefficient of correlation (ry12) of 0.379 and coefficient of determination (ry122) of 14.37% through regression equation Ŷ = 33.492 + 0.165X1 + 0.524X2. Teachers’ innovativeness can be improved through personality development. The roles of headmasters’ transformational leadership will modify teachers’ behavior, allowing the latter to work more than what is expected and to improve their performance. It is a form of teachers’ empowerment to develop skills and trusts, and to create a better school culture that encourage innovativeness and creativity development. In other words, personality and transformational leadership development can improve teachers’ innovativeness.
A Teacher’s Autonomy in Assessing Students’ Performance: A Brief Conceptual Review on The Assessment of Learning Outcomes
Authors: Abdu Wamaungo Juma 
Published: June 2020

In formal schooling, testing/ or assessments are always done on entry, and on exit of the student. Assessment during entry is carried out to assess the entry behaviour of a student, while the on-exit assessment is conducted to know how well students have achieved on the learning objectives. This means that assessment of a student has always had a strong foundation in the ‘hands of the teacher’. Having taught, a teacher understands the students than any other assessor or evaluator. However, this is not the case in most countries, more so in the developing world, where students’ testing/assessment has always been done by the national examination bodies, a thing which terminates the teacher’s role in student’s assessment, hence hindering sincere evaluation of learners. Mr. Obama describes such a situation as teachers forced to spend their academic years preparing students to fill in bubbles on standardized tests (Cody, 2011). This Obama comment implies that teachers should be given authority in a substantive manner towards a more balanced method for evaluating students learning and achievement. In this paper therefore, I describe the need for a teacher’s autonomy in testing and or assessing students’ performance [school assessment] versus the national examinations organized by the national examination body under the ministry of education..

Published: June 2020

The aim of the study was to identify the correlation between ventilation disorders of the lungs and the development of arterial stiffness in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods. The following parameters were evaluated in the patients (n = 61) enrolled in the study: spirometry, bodyplethysmography, cardiac-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and an ancho-brachial vascular index. Additionally, the pulse wave propagation velocity was calculated in the area from the ostium of the aorta to the infragenicular arteries.Results. According to the study results, a direct correlation, characterized by moderate to noticeable strength, was found between the parameters of pulmonary ventilation (bronchial resistance, intrathoracic gas volume, residual lung volume (RLV), total lung capacity (TLC), RLV/TLC) and the CAVI parameter, characterizing vascular stiffness on the section from the aorta ostium to the infragenicular arteries. It was shown that the best method for assessing changes in blood vessels is CAVI, which is independent of the level of blood pressure at the moment of the study.Conclusion. It has been established that if there is a correlation between impaired ventilation and arterial stiffness, the systemic nature of the lesion in COPD is confirmed, which explains the high incidence of cardiovascular diseases in patients with COPD.

The aim of this work was to assess the functional and structural disorders of the bronchopulmonary system detected by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), and to determine the correlation between them.Methods. A cross-sectional study included patients with CF (n = 54: 20 male and 34 female; median age 25 years) and healthy volunteers (n = 32: 12 male, 20 female; median age 25 years). A complex study of the pulmonary function test (PFT) was carried out; it included spirometry, bodyplethysmography and measurement of the diffusing lung capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), nitrogen leaching in multiple respiration (NLMR) and HRCT. Dyspnea was assessed using the Modified Research Council Scale (mMRC). NLMR measurements were performed using the Easy-One Pro module, MBW (NDD Medizintechnik AG, Switzerland). Analysis of HRCT data according to the Bhalla classification was performed by two independent, experienced radiologists.Results. The mean value (± SD) of the forced expiratory volume for 1 second (FEV1) was 63 ± 26% of the proper value, forced vital capacity of the lungs (FVC) was 86 ± 20% of the proper value, the ratio of FEV1/FVC was 61 ± 15%; residual lung volume (RLV) was 220 ± 71% of the proper value, the ratio of RLV/ total lung capacity (TLC) was 48 ± 13%, intrathoracic gas volume was 150 ± 33% of the proper value, DLCO was 80 ± 16% of the proper value, lung clearance index (LCI) was 16.9 ± 5.0; moment ratio (MR2) was 54.7 ± 34.1. Bronchoectases with predominant lesions of > 9 segments and bronchial lesions from V generation and more distal were found in all patients. Peribronchial infiltration and mucoid plugs were also diagnosed in almost all patients (94 and 96%, respectively), while bronchogenic cysts or abscesses, atelectasis/consolidation, bullae or emphysema were rarely detected (in 30, 35, 20, and 17% of cases, respectively). The parameters of NLMR were statistically significantly correlated with both the PFT parameters and the HRTC data.Conclusion. In adult patients with CF, there is a significant unevenness of pulmonary ventilation, progressing as structural damage to the bronchopulmonary system increases and the PFT worsens. With a statistically significant increase in MR, the involvement of not only the central, but also peripheral airways in the pathological process is emphasized. It has been established that in adult CF patients there is a strong correlation between LCI and the severity of structural changes, detected by HRCT, comparable in strength and significance to FEV1.

As a rule, heart damage in patients with sarcoidosis of respiratory organs (SOD) is not diagnosed in time, so a very important and urgent task is to identify common heart rhythm and conduction disorders.The aim of the studywas to investigate the main clinical manifestations of sarcoidosis in SOD, depending on the peculiarities of the disease course and to compare the frequency and severity of pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations of sarcoidosis, including myocardial lesions and electrocardiographic (ECG) signs of heart rhythm disorders.Methods. In the period 2006– 2016, the pilot open prospective uncontrolled study conducted at the Pulmonology Department of the Regional State Autonomous Healthcare Institution "Tomsk Regional Clinical Hospital" included patients (n = 84) aged 20–67 years with the diagnosis of SOD. Patients were divided into 2 clinical groups: the 1st comprised 45 (53.5%) patients with a favorable course of sarcoidosis, the second one included 39 (46.4%) patients with an unfavorable course of the disease. A full range of studies was carried out, including the analysis of medical history and clinical and epidemiological data, instrumental methods (including ECG and Holter ECG monitoring (HM), pathomorphological study of lung biopsy samples.Results. According to the data of frequency analysis of occurrence of pulmonary and extrapulmonary clinical manifestations in ODS, it was shown that the leading clinical manifestations, most frequently occurring in patients of both groups, included asthenia syndrome (72.6%), bronchial syndrome (66.7%) and fever syndrome (33%). In 33% of cases, clinical manifestations of myocardial damage were detected. In 41 (51.2%) patients in both groups, changes on ECG were recorded at rest. Regardless of the course of the disease, in 23.5% of patients of both clinical groups, according to the results of the HM ECG, rhythm and conduction disturbances were found – a combination of ventricular arrhythmias and conduction disorders (ventricular extrasystole and right His bundle branch block of various degrees) and a combination of supraventricular arrhythmias and conduction disturbances (supraventricular extrasystole and right His bundle branch block of various degrees).Conclusion. Thus, regardless of the severity of the disease course, SOD patients are concerned about complaints from both respiratory system and extrapulmonary manifestations, including cardiac complaints, as well as heart rhythm and conduction disorders (according to the results of ECG and HM ECG), the frequency of which, according to the comparative analysis, has not significantly changed in both clinical groups, which indicates the non-specific character of clinical manifestations.

Sarcoidosis is epithelioid cell granulomatosis of unknown etiology. All the schemes of its treatment are of a recommendatory nature. Methotrexate (MTT) is considered a second-line drug in the treatment of sarcoidosis.Methods. A retrospective observational study of patients with progressive sarcoidosis (n = 104), treated with MTT once a week, was carried out. Clinical, laboratory, functional and radiation parameters were evaluated with an interval of 3 months ≤ 1 year.Results. The use of MTT was accompanied by an improvement in the radiation picture (64.1% by the end of the year), an improvement not only in spirometry parameters, starting from the 3rd month (54.7%), but also in the general condition of the patients (63.8% – at the 6th month). Adverse reactions with drug withdrawal were most often observed (15.4%) during the first 3 months, and subsequently their frequency decreased.Conclusion. According to the results of the study, it was shown that methotrexate can be recommended for further use in progressive sarcoidosis, as well as in patients, who have previously received systemic glucocorticosteroids.
