Authors: Erwenta Jona , Agung Leo , Sunardi Sunardi 
Published: June 2018

AbstractThis research is promoting the values of Didong as a content supplement to elevating the practice of character education in the current curriculum of Indonesia. The main objective of this research is to describe explicitly the character values of Didong art. The qualitative with socio-historical approach was used as a research approach to finding historically and socially the existence of Didong art. The data were collected through literature review and field observation. The results of the research show that the Didong art came from Central Aceh District, particularly this art exists in the Gayo`s ethnic area. Didong art can be categorized as an indigenous art that consists of the combination of dance, vocal, and literature elements. In its beautiful performance, the Didong art contains character values that derive from the poetic verses of background song and dance motion. The character values of Didong art comprise of religious values, appreciate the achievement, communicative, peacefulness, and social care. These values could be inserted in the educational field, particularly in the practice of character education, in form of content enrichment. The character education is necessary to be developed because of the problem of moral degradation of the young generation. The implementation of character education, which contain the local values such as in the Didong art, would support the people`s personal and social life in the family, friendship, society, as well as in nationhood to achieve the better life in the future.

Examining the association between burnout and temperament and character traits of preschool teachers
Authors: Yoleri Sibel 
Published: June 2018

The aim is to investigate the relationships between the temperament and character traits and burnout dimensions among preschool teachers. In total, 130 preschool teachers participated in this study. All participants were asked to complete the Temperament and Character Inventory, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Findings indicate a positive association between emotional exhaustion and persistence. On the other hand, there is a negative significant correlation between emotional exhaustion and self-directedness (SD). Results conclude that there is a positive significant relationship between depersonalisation and SD, and a positive association between personal accomplishment and harm avoidance (HA). Multiple regression analysis was employed to examine the predictive effect temperament and character traits displayed on the burnout dimensions. Novelty seeking and reward dependence were significant predictors of the emotional exhaustion burnout dimension. Temperament and character traits are not significantly correlated with depersonalisation. HA temperament and character trait are the predictor factors that have specific effects on personal accomplishment.
Keywords: Burnout, preschool education teachers, temperament and character traits.

Authors: Kubat Ulas 
Published: June 2018

The aim of this research is to examine the adequacy of tools and teaching materials as well as physical and technological conditions in science classes according to the views of science teachers. To this end, qualitative research methods are designed according to phenomenological design. The sample of the research consists of 16 science teachers working in the academic year of 2017â€“2018 in Mugla province. Semi-structured interview techniques were used to analyze the collected data using descriptive analysis. According to research findings, most of the interviewed teachers stated that class size is appropriate. Teachers have emphasized that there are deficiencies in physical and technological conditions. Especially in some schools, it has been discovered that there are no labs, computers or Internet and interactive whiteboards. It was also determined that the teachers had classroom arrangement as a conventional fixed row arrangement for desks. There is little place in the learning-teaching process for posters, banners, and models.

Authors: EspÃ­ndola Cristiane da Silva Oliveira , Velloso Andrea 
Published: June 2018

The objective of this work is to promote closeness between students and scientists, who never had contact, being geographically distant from each other, through interactive actions by videoconference. Attended by 30 high school students from a countryside school in the state of Rio de Janeiro (BR), Paty do Alferes. Two simple questions were selected to be answered experimentally in the school laboratories and two Scientists participated the experimental activity, in real time. A semi-structured interview was conducted with students. The results show two anchors in the studentâ€™s discourse: (i)the humanization of the scientist; (ii)science driven by questions. The data also suggest the need rapprochement between scientist-school, to bridge the gap between science and the school community for the implementation of effective science education.

A teologia sem corpo: uma crítica da teopoética feminista
Authors: Thomaz Angelica Tostes 
Published: June 2018

Este artigo apresenta uma crítica à exclusão do corpo na reflexão teológica partir da teologia feminista, em especial, da teóloga católica Ivone Gebara. O corpo da mulher foi banido da teologia - corpo que não pode sentir, pensar e falar a teologia. A teologia feminista vem como superação desse modelo patriarcal do labor teológico. Busca-se construir uma teologia que tenha como ponto de partida a experiência do corpo. Os estudos antropológicos de David Le Breton e a teopoética de Rubem Alves auxiliam nessa costura teológica do corpo.This paper deals with a critical of the body exclusion in the theological reflection inspired by Ivone Gebara’s feminist theology. The women body was banned of theology – body that cannot feel, think and speak theology. Feminist theology bring a new perspective to overcome a patriarchal model of theological work. The paper searches to build a theology that has to starting point the experience of body. David Le Breton’s anthropologic studies and Rubem Alves’s theopoetics helped this theological sewing of the body.

Authors: Ward Christina , Milam Graham 
Published: June 2018

Cases:
Two patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) developed wrist pain following the initiation of antiretroviral treatment, and were diagnosed with chronic atypical mycobacterial septic arthritis. Aggressive operative debridement led to clinical improvement, provided tissue samples for diagnosis, and allowed for a targeted long-term antibacterial regimen.

Conclusion:
Clinicians should consider atypical mycobacterial organisms as a cause of joint infection in patients with HIV. Symptoms may become apparent after patients experience immune system recovery following antiretroviral treatment.
Bilateral Bicondylar Osteochondritis Dissecans in a Child with Spastic Diplegia and Crouch Gait
Authors: Nhan Derek T. , Garcia Marcel Robles , Lee R. Jay 
Published: June 2018

Case:
The cause of osteochondritis dissecans is unknown. Various hypotheses suggest mechanical, ischemic, and hereditary causes. We describe a 13-year-old girl with spastic diplegia, a form of cerebral palsy, who had an associated crouch gait and presented with bilateral osteochondral defects of the medial and lateral femoral condyles.

Conclusion:
This case highlights the potential role of repetitive microtrauma, likely due to the poor biomechanical forces in a crouch gait, and provides support for a mechanical cause of osteochondritis dissecans.
Pengaruh Residu Insektisida Deltametrin Pada Tanaman Padi terhadap Tingkat Parasitasi Parasitoid Anagrus Nilaparvatae (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae)
Authors: Meilin Araz , Trisyono Y. Andi , Buchori Damayanti 
Published: June 2018

The impact of deltamethrin on natural enemies can be determined directly through contact and oral applications or indirectly through residues on plants. This research was aimed to determine the indirect impact of deltamethrin on the egg parasitoid of Anagrus nilaparvatae. The rice plants of Cisadane variety were infested with 10 gravid females of N. lugens. Deltamethrin was applied at two concentrations (12.5 and 6.25 ppm) and at 7, 3, 1 day and 3 hours before the parasitization. Deltamethrin residues on rice plants were decrease the number of Nilaparvata lugens, parasitoid and parasitization level of A. nilaparvatae. This suggests that deltamethrin residue on rice plants could decrease the role of A. nilaparvatae in controlling N. lugens.
Two-Scale Geomechanics of Shale
Authors: Sakhaee-Pour A.. , Li Wenfeng 
Published: June 2018

SummaryThe geomechanical properties of reservoirs, which are important for formation stimulation, are often determined from triaxial tests on large-scale samples such as core plugs or blocks. It is difficult to recover large samples from shale formations because they are mechanically unstable and usually break down into pieces. The present study develops a two-scale model that uses drill cuttings to estimate the static elastic properties of shales at the core scale. We first propose a physically representative element to capture the elastic deformation of a solid grain with a known minerology by accounting for the grain size and its elastic properties using the structural-mechanics approach (a small-scale model). We then develop a core-scale model dependent on the volume fractions of the minerals, which are obtained from X-ray diffraction (XRD), for different realizations of the spatial distribution of the solid grains (large-scale model). The sensitivity of the large-scale model to the number of the elements is tested. The proposed model shows promising results for four shale formations (New Albany, Rocky Mountain Siliceous, Lower Bakken, and Barnett) and has major applications for the geomechanical characterization of a formation from drill cuttings.

Desired Features of a Digital Technology Tool for Self-Management of Well-Being in a Nonclinical Sample of Young People: Qualitative Study
Authors: Babbage Camilla , Jackson Georgina Margaret , Nixon Elena 
Published: June 2018

Background
Adaptive coping behaviors can improve well-being for young people experiencing life stressors, while maladaptive coping can increase vulnerability to mental health problems in youth and into adulthood. Young people could potentially benefit from the use of digital technology tools to enhance their coping skills and overcome barriers in help-seeking behaviors. However, little is known about the desired digital technology use for self-management of well-being among young people in the general population.

Objective
This is a small, qualitative study aimed at exploring what young people desire from digital technology tools for the self-management of their well-being.

Methods
Young people aged 12-18 years were recruited from the general community to take part in semistructured interviews. Recorded data from the interviews were transcribed and analyzed using inductive thematic analysis.

Results
In total, 14 participants were recruited and completed the study, with a mean age of 14.6 years (female n=3). None of the participants reported using any digital tools specifically designed to manage well-being. However, as indicated through the emerged themes, young people used digital technology to reduce their stress levels and manage their mood, mainly through games, music, and videos. Overall, identified themes showed that young people were keen on using such tools and desired certain facets and features of an ideal tool for self-management of well-being. Themes related to these facets indicated what young people felt a tool should do to improve well-being, including being immersed in a stress-free environment, being uplifting, and that such a tool would direct them to resources based on their needs. The feature-based themes suggested that young people wanted the tool to be flexible and enable engagement with others while also being sensitive to privacy.

Conclusions
The young people interviewed in this study did not report engaging with digital technology specialized to improving well-being but instead used media already accessed in their daily lives in order to self-manage their psychological states. As a result, the variety of coping strategies reported and digital tools used was limited to the resources that were already being used for recreational and social purposes. These findings contribute to the scarce research into young people’s preferred use of digital technology tools for the self-management of their well-being. However, this was a small-scale study and the current participant sample is not representative of the general youth population. Therefore, the results are only tentative and warrant further investigation.
Estimation of Height from Foot Dimensions
Authors: Sah Sanjay Kumar , Karki Naresh , Jeelani Bashir Ahmed 
Published: June 2018

Introduction: Height determination by measuring various body parts is of value in medicolegal investigations as well as in anthropology. The current study was conducted to analyze interrelation between foot dimensions and stature, and to predict stature from foot dimensions.
Methods: The study was done in medical students where stature, foot length, and foot breadth were quantified using standard instruments. We calculated correlations between variables with correlation test and predicted stature from foot length and foot breadth using linear regression.
Results: The correlation between foot length and stature, and foot breadth and stature were statistically significant in both gender (p < 0.05). Greater correlation coefficient between foot length and stature than that for foot breadth and stature indicated stronger correlation between foot length and stature. Separate formulae were drawn for calculation of stature from foot breadth and foot length by regression analysis.
Conclusion: Both foot breadth and foot length were correlated with stature. Foot length was found to be a better predictor of stature.
An Experiential Investigation of Tax Professionals' Contentious Interactions with Clients
Authors: Bobek Donna D. , Dalton Derek W. , Hageman Amy M. , Radtke Robin R. 
Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT
This paper is a descriptive exploration of the under-researched area of contentious interactions between tax professionals in public accounting and their clients. We collect data in two waves. First, we employ an experiential questionnaire (EQ) to obtain rich, detailed data about actual contentious client interactions experienced by tax professionals. Second, we conduct a follow-up survey based on the results of the EQ to provide additional insight. We find that tax professionals often employ arguments relating to possible taxing authority (e.g., Internal Revenue Service) actions and the technical merits of the tax position to persuade their clients. We also provide additional details about the types of contentious issues tax professionals experience and how these issues are resolved. Importantly, our results point to a need for more training on how to deal with contentious issues, as most professionals strongly believe training is needed, even though few have actually received training.

Financial and Qualitative Determinants of Voluntary Environmental/sustainability Reporting in the Canadian Mining Sector
Authors: Leonard Glenn 
Published: June 2018

The ever increasing attention given to the environmental threats facing the planet have permeated almost all areas of human endeavor. Accounting and corporate reporting has not been immune to this effect and is a key area of interest. Much of the environmental damage and the public costs associated with its clean-up is a result of commercial activity. Captured under the headings of social responsibility accounting, environmental accounting, integrated reporting or sustainability accounting, there are only limited mechanisms in accounting standards that directly address environmental issues and the associated costs and benefits. The majority of reporting mechanisms over the last three decades are largely voluntary so companies can choose whether or not to provide this type of information to users of financial statements. The existing literature in this area has focused on how these disclosures (voluntary or otherwise) have affected user decision making, primarily investors and creditors, and shareholder value.
What factors lead to a decision to do voluntary reporting with respect to environmental issues? This research focusses on the Canadian mining sector (exclusive of oil and gas) and examines the financial and qualitative characteristics of companies and their respective reporting methods to build a generic profile of a company that would most likely to provide such voluntary reporting. Analysis of annual reports and the associated audited financial statements of companies in the sector will provide the raw data to build this generic profile.
We can infer that companies that are inclined to report on environmental issues, beyond their regulatory responsibilities, are likely to be better environmental stewards. Understanding the financial and qualitative characteristics and having a profile can aid in regulatory decision making and provide potential and current investors an additional analytical tool for assessing corporate social responsibility with regard to environmental and sustainability issues.
