The Relationships between Coaches’ Leadership Styles, Competitive State Anxiety, and Golf Performance in Korean Junior Golfers
Authors: Bum Chul-Ho , Shin Stephen H. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether Korean junior golf coaches’ leadership styles affect athletes’ competitive state anxiety before a game as well as their performance. In the Multidimensional Model of Leadership (MML), Chelladurai and Saleh (1980) identified five aspects of leadership behavior in coaching: training/instruction, democratic behavior, autocratic behavior, social support, and positive feedback. A survey was conducted with junior golfers participating in the 23rd Korean National Middle and High School Championship. Data from 216 questionnaires were used in the analysis. Multiple regression analyses were run on the data, revealing the following results. First, training/instruction and social support of coaches decreased cognitive anxiety before the game, whereas autocratic behavior increased it. Second, training/instruction and positive feedback of coaches increased self-confidence before the game. Third, training/instruction of coaches increased golf performance, whereas autocratic behavior decreased it. Finally, cognitive anxiety of golf athletes was found to reduce golf performance, whereas self-confidence increased it. Consequently, this study may deliver sport administrators and parents with understanding of how coaches’ leadership styles could influence on junior golfers’ psychological state and golf performance.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
This paper presents a strength analysis of a calcaneal nail (material Ti6Al4V and stainless steel) which is used to treat complex heel fractures. The application focuses on a unique calcaneal nail, the C-NAIL, produced by Medin a.s. (Nové Město na Moravě, Czech Republic). The paper first presents an analysis of fracture types, treatment methods and loading of the calcaneus. It then presents an analysis of limit conditions and loading. Calculations (displacement and stress) are performed for 6 and 7 fixing screws using FEM (Ansys Workbench 14 software). The calculation involves a new, original application of an elastic foundation, which effectively replaces the complex interaction of the calcaneal nail and the heel bone.

Abstract
From the beginning of the debates regarding the conservatism principle, the concept experienced a significant development. As it is one of the most controversial and violated accounting principle, we started to seek how can we help one of the auditor’s challenge in the audit mission: to identify and evaluate the risks from the financial statement level. The most affected accounting principle in Romania is the conservatism principle. After a long time of debates, it was stated that the conservatism principle, considered to be complementary to the “fair view” concept, which means that financial reports shall be required to submit information so impartial and in such a manner as to enable the reader to understand them clearly. Considered as a risk that should be identified, this study demonstrates a relationship between the violation of the conservatism principle and the analysis of the financial indicators, such as: Long-Term-Debt-to-Equity Ratio; Debt-to-Equity Ratio; Global Solvency Ratio; Operating Margin Ratio; Current Finance Ratio; Period of Activity Indicator and Auditor Indicator. Based on a quantitative method, this analyze was realized through three econometric model performed on annual financial statements of the companies from Bucharest Stock Exchange. After validating the sample and analyzing the factorial variables, we selected the best model: the probit model. In conclusion, as can be seen in the paper, the econometric function is efficient, reliable and can be applied to assess the risk likelihood for violating the conservatism principle by a Romanian company.

Let γq(n) be the van der Corput sequence in the base q and g(x, y, z, u) be an asymptotic distribution function of the 4-dimensional sequence

In this paper we find an explicit formula for g(x, x, x, x) and then as an example we find the limit

for the base q = 4, 5, 6, . . . Also we find an explicit form of sth iteration T(s)(x) of the von Neumann-Kakutani transformation defined by T(γq(n)) = γq(n + 1).
Development Of Euro-Regional Cooperation Of Ukraine In The Context Of The Visegrad Experience
Authors: Petruk Vitalii , Kovtun Elena 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The goal of this paper is to analyze the dynamics of cooperation of Ukraine with the Visegrad countries with the aim to integrate into the political, economic, legal and humanitarian space in Europe and build the benchmark for system reforms to modernize Ukraine. Therefore, the study of problems of Euroregional cooperation is essential, given the complex circumstances surrounding the modern integration processes. The need to take into account the experience of regional policy of the Visegrad countries in the context of globalization and expansion of the EU influence is undeniable. Multilateral cooperation of Ukraine with the countries of Visegrad during the last decade is characterized by significant achievements. The close historical ties and common foreign policy goals of modern Ukraine and Visegrad laid the foundation for effective development of good neighbourly relations at the present stage and created opportunities for further large-scale cooperation in the future. It is safe to say that Visegrad-Ukrainian relations are rather balanced, thanks to the successful implementation of bilateral and multilateral agreements achieved after the regular meetings at all levels. All this creates a solid foundation for further expansion of this cooperation on the basis of the joint account of the interests of the parties.
Water Management for Sustainable Growth Strategies
Authors: Jurík Ľuboš , Kaletová Tatiana , Halaj Peter 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The aim of this document is to present a synthesis of water sustainability issues as the basic role in the sustainable growth strategies in many countries. Water crisis and extreme weather conditions have been identified by the World Economic Forum community as two of the top ten global risks. This is hardly surprising, considering the devastating impacts of having too little water, or too much. While water’s immediate impacts are often local, water security is now recognized as the systemic global risk. Each development has its own limiting parameters. In the latest decades, we have recognized the term ‚blue and green water‘. Blue water availability is a limiting factor for the green water. Due to the changes and processes in the country, as climatic, economic or socio-economic ones, fundamental factor for sustainable development is to secure water supply. Soil water and its availability for crop production during the growing season appear to be a problem. Surface water resources created for the additional irrigation in the pastures are now used for other purposes such as energy or industry. It is therefore important for water sustainability in the countries to increase the water resources protection.
The Most Famous Writer of the Low Countries: Herman Brusselmans Star Author and (Reluctant) Public Intellectual
Authors: Honings Rick 
Published: May 2018

AbstractThe Flemish writer Herman Brusselmans is the most famous author of the Low Countries. In this article, Herman Brusselmans is analysed as a star author. First and foremost, two striking aspects of Brusselmans’s stardom are analysed: his public visibility and the cult of the private. Attention is then focused on Brusselmans’s experience of celebrity, which he - like many other star authors - thematises in his books. Doing so, he consciously places himself in the context of popular culture. On the other hand, as a result of his celebrity status he has been expected - particularly in the last few years - to assume the role of public intellectual willy-nilly, and this in turn has had consequences for his work.
Using complex networks to understand the mental lexicon
Authors: Vitevitch Michael S. , Goldstein Rutherford , Siew Cynthia S.Q. , Castro Nichol 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Network science is an emerging discipline drawing from sociology, computer science, physics and a number of other fields to examine complex systems in economical, biological, social, and technological domains. To examine these complex systems, nodes are used to represent individual entities, and links are used to represent relationships between entities, forming a web-like structure, or network, of the entire system. The structure that emerges in these complex networks influences the dynamics of that system. We provide a short review of how this mathematical approach has been used to examine the structure found in the phonological lexicon, and of how subsequent psycholinguistic investigations demonstrate that several of the structural characteristics of the phonological network influence various language-related processes, including word retrieval during the recognition and production of spoken words, recovery from instances of failed lexical retrieval, and the acquisition of word-forms. This approach allows researchers to examine the lexicon at the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels, holding much promise for increasing our understanding of language-related processes and representations.
NMDA Receptor Signaling Is Important for Neural Tube Formation and for Preventing Antiepileptic Drug-Induced Neural Tube Defects

Published: April 2018

Failure of neural tube closure leads to neural tube defects (NTDs), which can have serious neurological consequences or be lethal. Use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) during pregnancy increases the incidence of NTDs in offspring by unknown mechanisms. Here we show that duringXenopus laevisneural tube formation, neural plate cells exhibit spontaneous calcium dynamics that are partially mediated by glutamate signaling. We demonstrate that NMDA receptors are important for the formation of the neural tube and that the loss of their function induces an increase in neural plate cell proliferation and impairs neural cell migration, which result in NTDs. We present evidence that the AED valproic acid perturbs glutamate signaling, leading to NTDs that are rescued with varied efficacy by preventing DNA synthesis, activating NMDA receptors, or recruiting the NMDA receptor target ERK1/2. These findings may prompt mechanistic identification of AEDs that do not interfere with neural tube formation.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTNeural tube defects are one of the most common birth defects. Clinical investigations have determined that the use of antiepileptic drugs during pregnancy increases the incidence of these defects in the offspring by unknown mechanisms. This study discovers that glutamate signaling regulates neural plate cell proliferation and oriented migration and is necessary for neural tube formation. We demonstrate that the widely used antiepileptic drug valproic acid interferes with glutamate signaling and consequently induces neural tube defects, challenging the current hypotheses arguing that they are side effects of this antiepileptic drug that cause the increased incidence of these defects. Understanding the mechanisms of neurotransmitter signaling during neural tube formation may contribute to the identification and development of antiepileptic drugs that are safer during pregnancy.
Persisting adverse body composition changes 2 years after cessation of androgen deprivation therapy for localised prostate cancer
Authors: Cheung Ada S , Tinson Alistair J , Milevski Stefan V , Hoermann Rudolf , Zajac Jeffrey D , Grossmann Mathis 
Published: April 2018

Objective
Hypogonadism from androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer causes adverse body composition changes associated with insulin resistance and decreased quality of life (QoL). Our objective was to assess whether adverse body composition changes improve after cessation of ADT.

Design
Prospective case–control study in a tertiary referral hospital. Thirty-four men newly commencing ADT (cases, median age: 67.6 years (interquartile range: 64.6–72.0)) and 29 age-matched (70.6 years (65.3–72.9)) prostate cancer controls not on ADT were assessed 2 years after cessation of ADT (median: 4.4 years).

Methods
Serum testosterone, body composition, handgrip strength, frailty and QoL were measured. Using a mixed model, the mean adjusted differences (MADs (95% CI)) between groups from baseline to study end are reported.

Results
Twenty-seven cases and 19 controls completed the study. Median duration of ADT was 2.3 years (interquartile range: 1.8–3.1). Two years after cessation of ADT, total testosterone remained lower (MAD: −3.4 nmol/L (−6.3 to −0.5), P < 0.022), fat mass (2214 g (490–3933), P = 0.025) and insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance: 0.69 (0.31–1.07), P < 0.001) remained higher in cases, whereas lean mass (−1450 g (−2259 to −640), P < 0.001) and physical component of QoL remained lower than controls (−11.9 (−16.4 to −7.4), P < 0.001).

Conclusion
Two years after ADT cessation, metabolically adverse changes in body composition, increased insulin resistance and reduced QoL persisted. This may be related to incomplete testosterone recovery. Persisting adverse effects need to be considered in the risk to benefit assessment of ADT and proactive mitigation should continue after cessation of treatment.
Ritual, Bid‘ah, and the Negotiation of the Public Sphere in Contemporary Indonesia
Authors: Jahroni Jajang 
Published: April 2018

The politicisation of ritual has been common in Indonesia over centuries. In the 18th century, the Padri people in West Sumatra introduced a puritan Islam creating a long-standing conflict between the Padris and the local Muslim groups in the region. In the early 20th century, the modernists criticized the religious practices of the traditionalist Muslims. In the 1980s, a new group of Salafi people bring back the issues of bid‘ah into the Islamic discourses of Indonesian Islam. Adhering to literal interpretations of Islamic teachings, Salafi groups question the validity of rituals associated with traditionalist Muslims, thereby exerting their power over Muslim believers. In response, traditionalists defend their opinions by expanding the definition of bid‘ah. Mosques, one of the most strategic institutions in Islam, have provided sites of contestation between traditionalists and Salafis. This has resulted in the politicisation of mosques over the last decades. Having different understandings of rituals, traditionalists and Salafis have used different methods to facilitate social engagement and organizational capacity.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v25i1.5308
Historicizing Islam: On the Agency of Siti Maryam in the Construction of Bima’s History of Islamization
Authors: Sila Muhammad Adlin 
Published: April 2018

This article focuses on the understanding of Bima’s local interlocutors in the history of Islamization in the region, particularly in light of their construction of Bima vernacular manuscripts. This article provides the agency of Siti Maryam as the owner and caretaker of Samparaja museum who has given access to Bima’s manuscripts, locally called Bo’. Through in-depth interviews and participant observation, I examined how Siti Maryam as the manuscript’s owner constructs the entry of Islam to Bima, and how this understanding becomes the dominant storyline in explaining Bima’s history ranging from the pre-Islamic era to the period of Islamization. The aim of this article is not to discuss the truth or falsity in these historical accounts or to take sides. But all these varying historical accounts are important in providing a doorway into understanding the locally dynamic and religio-political practices of Islam in contemporary Bima.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v25i1.5840
Zakat and Poverty Alleviation in a Secular State: The Case of Muslim Minorities in the Philippines
Authors: Gamon Alizaman D. , Tagoranao Mariam Saidona 
Published: April 2018

Twelve million Filipinos live in extreme poverty. Despite a well-crafted government model for poverty alleviation, the state’s role in managing charities to alleviate economic deprivation has been minimal. By reason of the state’s strict adherence to secularism, the operation of Islamic institutions at the social level is deemed unconstitutional. It is unfortunate that the dynamics of Islamic social financial institutions, i.e. zakat, waqf and ṣadaqah, are not reflected in the economic road map for the reconstruction of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, particularly the rehabilitation of the city of Marawi after the war. This study examines the initiatives taken by government agencies and Muslim organizations towards the gradual revival of zakat as an Islamic social financial institution. In addition, the study highlights issues on the management of zakat and its role in poverty alleviation within the context of a secular state. This study finds that due to mismanagement, zakat fails to eliminate or reduce the poverty of the Muslim minorities in the Philippines.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v25i1.5969
Enhancing Religious Education: An Attempt to Counter Violent Extremism in Indonesia
Authors: Kirana Dita 
Published: April 2018

Indonesian government plays an important role in developing religious education. Since the 1970s, the government has promoted basic education for the Indonesian citizen, modernizing primary and secondary education and including religious subjects in the national curriculum. Furthermore, from the early beginning of the New Order era, Islamic educational institutions such as pesantren and madrasah—which are mostly founded by private or informal institutions— must also follow the national curriculum and comply with state regulations. On the one hand, pesantren is continuously recognized as an autonomous institution, and honored as a community-based educational institution. Madrasah, on the other hand, is supported to teach Islam and religious subjects, but at the same time it is required to introduce sciences and general subjects to its students.During the 1980s and 1990s, major changes in the curriculum of Islamic religious education in Indonesia have turned madrasah into education institutions increasingly integrated in Indonesia’s national education. In fact, the share of general studies reached 70%, while religious studies have been reduced to only about 30% of madrasah curriculum. As a consequence, all madrasah graduates have equivalent degree recognized by other schools in general, enabling them to pursue undergraduate studies in public universities.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v25i1.7284

Eric Tagliacozzo, 2013. The Longest Journey: Southeast Asians and the Pilgrimage to Mecca. Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press.For many Muslims in Southeast Asia, the Hajj is not only an important spiritual experience but also a unique and very interesting story to tell. In this book, Eric Tagliacozzo painstakingly delivers the story of Hajj in Southeast Asia, where in the last five centuries, the Hajjis from Southeast Asian region have gone to Mecca to perform mandatory worship to perfect their religion. The longue duree approach that he uses not only enable him to unveil the reasons why millions of Southeast Asian Muslims have embarked on pilgrimage since the 15th CE, but also how the Hajj played great political and economic roles during the pre- and post-colonial periods up to this day, when the Hajj is increasingly complicated but, thanks to the advance of technology, it has become more affordable for many. Enriched with a sharp analysis of history and anthropology, the book is undoubtedly a very important contribution to the increased interest in the study of Hajj in the Malay-Indonesian archipelago and Southeast Asia.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v25i1.7839
Analysis of Primary Education Students’ Metaphorical Perceptions of the Concept of Learning/Analiza metaforičkih percepcija pojma učenja kod učenika u osnovnoj školi
Authors: Anilan Huseyin 
Published: April 2018

AbstractThe aim of this study is to determine the metaphors that are used by 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students in primary education relating to the concept of learning. The study is qualitative and it has been conducted using an interpretative approach. Two hundred and eighteen students participated in the study, but because the survey questionnaires of 83 students were considered invalid for different reasons, the analysis of the data was carried out for 135 students. The data were collected through a survey containing open ended sentences, such as “Learning is like ...... because ......”. The content analysis technique was used to analyze the data. The data analysis was conducted in the following four stages: 1) coding and elimination; 2) category development; 3) validity and reliability; and 4) data interpretation. The data analysis showed that primary education students produced a total of 86 metaphors that were related to the concept of learning, and these metaphors were collected for 12 categories: the metaphors of 3rd grade students were collected for 6 categories, while the metaphors of 4th grade students were collected for 10 categories, and the metaphors of 5th grade students were collected for 11 categories. All of the categories, except for one, are composed of positive perceptions. Accordingly, it can be said that overall, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students have positive perceptions about learning.Key words: interpretative qualitative research approach; learning; metaphor. --- SažetakCilj ovoga istraživanja bio je ustanoviti kojim se metaforama koriste učenici trećega, četvrtoga i petoga razreda osnovne škole koje su vezane uz pojam učenje. Ovo je istraživanje kvalitativnoga karaktera, a provedeno je koristeći se interpretacijskim pristupom. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 218 učenika, a s obzirom na to da su 83 upitnika nevažeća iz raznih razloga, analizi je podvrgnuto 135 učeničkih upitnika. Podatci su prikupljeni koristeći se anketom s tvrdnjama otvorenoga tipa poput: „Učenje je poput…… jer …….“. Tehnikom analize sadržaja mogli smo analizirati podatke. Podatci su analizirani u sljedeća četiri koraka: 1) kodiranje i eliminacija; 2) kategoriziranje; 3) valjanost i pouzdanost; 4) interpretacija rezultata. Analiza podataka pokazala je da su učenici u osnovnoj školi iskazali ukupno 86 metafora koje su bile povezane s pojmom učenje, a te su metafore svrstane u dvanaest kategorija: metafore učenika trećega razreda u 6 kategorija, metafore učenika četvrtoga razreda u 10 kategorija, metafore učenika petoga razreda u 11 kategorija. Sve kategorije izuzev jedne sadržavale su pozitivnu percepciju o učenju. Shodno tome, možemo reći da učenici trećega, četvrtoga i petoga razreda uglavnom imaju pozitivnu percepciju o učenju. Ključne riječi: interpretacijski pristup kvalitativnom istraživanju; metafora; učenje.
