Authors: Kafid Nur 
Published: September 2019

The study aims to explore phenomenologically the experiences of “kyai kampong” at Madrasah ‘Tasywiqul Mustarsyidin’ Demak, Central Java, Indonesia. This study specifically emphasizes how personal transformation could result into larger social transformation. The experiences of Kyai Kampung at Maredan Village, Demak, Central Java reveals that certain principles of life drawn from a rich religious tradition have empowered local religious leader to transform himself and his community. Religious tradition and local wisdom shape their daily life and self-identity. Under the pressure of modernization and globalization values which are dominated by the value of consumerism and materialism, the kyais are still holding strongly the value of ‘ikhlas’ in their teaching tradition. Even though they strongly hold Islamic religious teaching, they do not ignore the importance of local culture in their daily lives.Studi ini, secara fenomenologis dilakukan untuk mengeksplor pengalaman hidup (dalam mengajar) para Guru di Madrasah ‘Tasywiqul Mustarsyidin’ Desa Maredan, Kabupaten Demak, Jawa Tengah, dengan menekankan pada proses refleksi sosial-keagamaan yang menghasilkan adanya transformasi personal dan sosial. Pengalaman hidup para Kyai Kampung ini sangatlah unik. Tradisi dan kearifan lokal menjadi ciri khas identitas dan gaya hidup mereka sehari-hari. Meski arus modernisasi dan globalisasi yang didominasi oleh nilai-nilai konsumerisme dan materialisme juga deras mengalir dalam berbagai sendi kehidupan sosial di sana, tetapi prinsip hidup ‘Ikhlas’ tetap menjadi hal utama bagi mereka. Meskipun ajaran Islamnya sangat kuat, tetapi para Kyai Kampung ini tidak pernah mengabaikan nilai-nilai tradisi dan kearifan lokal dalam praktek kehidupan sehari-hari.

Objective: The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of Hordeum vulgare aqueous extract (HVE) in a sub-chronic depression rat model.
Methods: Thirty male rats were randomly divided into five groups: the first group served as a control group; the second group received i.p. injection of reserpine (Res) (0.5 mg/ kg) for 20 days, the third group received i.p. injection of reserpine plus fluoxetine (Res + Flux) (10 mg/kg p.o.) for 20 days, the fourth group received i.p. injection of Res plus HVE (1,000 mg/kg p.o.), and the fifth group received Res + Flus +HVE. Behavioral tests were measured on the 21st day of the experiment, then rats were decapitated to determine liver function [alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, TP, Alb, Glob, A/G), brain monoamines and their metabolites (NE, DA, 5-HT, HVA, DOPAC, 5HIAA), oxidative and nitrositive stress markers (MDA, glutathione, oxidized glutathione, NO, SOD, 8OHdG) and purinergic cell capacity (ATP, ADP, AMP).
Results: Obtained data showed neuro-degenerative effect of Res and deteriorative manifestation in liver function. Moreover, flux treatment showed an attenuated deterioration, manifested by Res for monoamines and its metabolites, and subsequently stabilized behaviors and decreased depression status with behavioral tests indicators. On the other hand, it showed initial indicators of liver alteration, presented by serum liver function and histological examination. In addition, treatment with HVE showed amelioration for behavioral, neurochemical functions, and decreased oxidative stress. The results were confirmed by the histological examination.
Conclusion: HVE ameliorate depression induced by Res, stimulates monoamines and antioxidant status, decrease oxidonitrositive markers and increases cell energy capacity without side effects on liver, contrasting to selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, which produces initial indicators of liver damages.

Published: September 2019

Nicotine and cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcripts (CART) have several overlapping functions, such as the regulation of reward, feeding behavior, stress response, and anxiety. Previous studies showed that nicotine regulates CART expression in various brain regions. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this regulation are not known. This study investigated the regulatory effect of nicotine on promoter activity of the CART gene in PC12 cells, which were differentiated into a neuronal phenotype by nerve growth factor (NGF) treatment. Two vectors containing reporter genes (Gaussia luciferase or mCherry) and the 1,140-bp upstream of the transcriptional start site of the mouse CART gene are used to analyze the CART promoter activity. Transient transfection of PC12 cells with either vector displayed strong promoter activity in both undifferentiated and differentiated PC12 cells. CART promoter activity in the PC12 cell line is increased by forskolin or NGF treatment. In differentiated PC12 cells, exposure to 50 nM nicotine for 6 h increased CART promoter activity. However, treatment with higher nicotine doses for 6 h and treatment with all nicotine doses for 24 h showed no effect. A nicotine concentration of 50 nM is comparable to brain nicotine levels experienced by chronic smokers over long periods of time. Taken together, these data indicate that nicotine may exert some of its actions through the regulation of CART transcription in the brain.

Published: September 2019

The ionic current rectification, which is a characteristic behavior of asymmetric nanopores, is an important phenomenon,
especially in biomolecule analysis. Rectification in nanopores resembles the diode element in electrical circuits, where
the ion current is allowed in only one direction. This behavior depends on certain parameters such as pore geometry, the
surface charge density of the pore, ionic concentration of electrolyte, applied potential and pressure. In this study, we
investigated the rectification behavior of ionic currents in conical pore experimentally and verified the results theoretically.
By altering the pH value of the electrolyte solution, we have obtained a variety of current-potential (I-V) curves which
have different ion current rectification values. We have compared these values with simulation results and figured out an
estimate for the surface charge density of the nanopore walls.

Published: September 2019

The genus Bambusa Schreb. which belongs to the Poaceae family is commonly present in north-eastern region of India. A survey was undertaken in three villages viz. Tilikiaam, Maoutgaon and Nathgaon of Jorhat district, Assam, North-east India, where natural populations of Bambusa species were observed. Four bamboo species i.e. Bambusa bambos (L.) Voss, B. tulda Roxb., B. pallida Munro and B. nutans Wall. ex. Munro were found locally economically important and the rhizospheric soil and root samples were collected for screening of dark septate endophytes (DSE) as well as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonization. Quantitative analysis of root samples showed the presences of all the three types of endomycorrhizal root infection/colonization namely hyphal, vesicular and arbuscular. Beside this, the dark septate endophytic infections were also observed in all the bamboo species. The cent-percent endomycorrhizal (hyphal and vesicular) and DSE hyphal infections were reported in roots of all the bamboo species respectively. There were variations observed in arbuscular infection in B. nutans and B. bambos (100%), B. pallida (90%) and least in B. tulda (70%). Qualitative analysis revealed that the Endomycorrhizae found in the rhizospheric soil predominantly belongs to five genera viz. Glomus, Acaulospora, Gigaspora, Scutellospora and Entrophospora. The genus Glomus, is the most dominant, with 17 species (61%), Acaulospora with 7 species (25%), Entrophospora with 2 species (7%), Scutellospora (3.5%) and Gigaspora (3.5%) with 1 species each. Distribution of AM fungi were highest in B. bamboos (67.7%) followed by B. pallida (19.4%), B. tulda (11.1%) and least in B. nutans (2.8%). Bamboo resources have been considerably declining due to exploitation, shifting cultivation, gregarious flowering and extensive forest fires from the natural habitats. Therefore, further microbial based applied researches should be undertaken to protect the dwindling natural bamboo resources and considering AMF bioinoculants in future management practices in order to maintain diminishing ecosystems.

Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) is a serious zoonotic disease. It is characterized by severe infection of the lower respiratory pathway in humans. Dromedary camels are considered to be the likeliest source of the very pathogenic aetiologic agent, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Although, the first case of MERS-CoV was initially identified in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) in September 2012, most of the reported cases have been detected in Arabian Peninsula but worthy of note is that travel-associated MERS cases have been reported around the world especially in Europe, Asia, Africa and North-America. This virus is very endemic in camel populations of East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula but worryingly, the zoonotic transmission of MERS-CoV are now well reported. It is diagnosed in camels using IgG immunofluorescence assay, protein microarray and virus neutralisation assay Diagnosis in humans is based on chest radiographs and computed tomographic scans but confirmatory diagnosis of suspected MERS patients could be done by taking a intratracheal aspirate for detection test of MERS-CoV RNA positive real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assays. The major control measures of MERS-CoV spread include strict regulation of camel movement, regular herd screening and culling of infected camels.

Fungal diseases cause a lot of economic damage in castor and in some instances; it is a limiting factor to commercial cultivation of the crop. In the present study, survey on castor germplasm for sources of resistant genes to Cercospora leaf spot was carried out at National Cereals Research Institute Badeggi, Nigeria. The genotypes were grown in a resolvable incomplete block design with three replications. The results obtained revealed high variability of host resistance among the genotypes. Percentage disease incidence ranged between 16.67% and 100%. A range between 1.43 score and 4.17 scores with average score of 2.89 were recorded for disease severity among the genotypes. Highest (95.92%) and lowest (13.03%) damage index were observed in the genotypes Acc. 059 and Acc. 022 respectively. The Principal component (PC) 1 to 4 explained 100% of the variability in the germplasm. PC1 explained 69.72% of the variability with the major contributory parameters being the disease incidence, severity and damage index. Significant negative correlations were recorded between the seed yield and all the three disease indices. The result of cluster analysis revealed six cluster groups among the germplasm with cluster membership ranging between 4 and 40 members. The cluster I contained members (Acc. 002, Acc. 017, Acc. 022, Acc. 026, Acc. 027, Acc. 048 and Acc. 061) with low average disease incidence, severity and damage index. The results reported here could serve as a basis for further screening of the potential resistant genotypes under controlled condition to develop resistant lines.

Published: September 2019

La recaudación fiscal supone la base para el desarrollo de los estados de bienestar en los países, tanto en su vertientes social, económica y medioambiental como de garante de su felicidad. El fortalecimiento de la moral tributaria y el cumplimiento fiscal de los ciudadanos no solo es importante para lograr alcanzar las metas asumidas por la política fiscal sino que también forman parte de los valores que pueden generar un mayor nivel de satisfacción personal. El objetivo del presente trabajo es ofrecer una panorámica mundial sobre los cambios que se han producido en los ingresos fiscales y su relación con el mayor o menor grado de bienestar alcanzado por los ciudadanos. Para llevar a cabo esta investigación se han utilizado las bases de datos de estadísticas tributarias ofrecidas por la OCDE y el índice global de desarrollo sostenible que ofrece New Economics Foundation. Los resultados muestran que los países con mayor recaudación tributaria sobre su PIB y con estructuras impositivas más sólidas cuentan también con altos niveles de bienestar. Entre los países que alcanzan los mejores resultados se encuentran Holanda y Noruega, con elevados índices de felicidad y de cumplimiento fiscal. No obstante, hay que destacar el importante papel desempeñado por el medio ambiente, que justifica los niveles de felicidad a los que llegan algunos países, en general de menor desarrollo económico. La evidencia obtenida tiene importantes implicaciones para el diseño y aplicación de políticas fiscales en el mundo.
Bringing critical literacy into tertiary EFL reading class
Authors: Setyaningsih Endang 
Published: September 2019

Critical literacy (CL) is an area that remains under-researched regardless of the growing acknowledgement on its importance. Previously published works on CL have provided depictions of classroom implementations but they appeared to be lacking a guiding framework thus tended to be haphazard. This study addressed the gap by exploring the implementation of CL using a prototype model that combines the Four Resources Framework (FRF) as a theoretical frame and Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review (SQ3R) as a working model. The study aims at uncovering how CL could be infused into regular EFL Reading class using the model and how students developed their CL. The investigation involved 39 university students in Indonesia. The data were collected using multiple methods: observation, tests, interview, artifact, and questionnaire. Quantitative and qualitative data were concurrently analyzed by using statistical pack and interactive model, respectively. The study confirmed that questions and materials played key roles in turning a conventional Reading class into a CL class. Having exposed to critical questions, the students indicated progress in their practice as text users and text analysts. The analysis revealed that the students at differing baselines addressed the four roles differently in terms of the extent and consistency. Students with high proficiency tended to be more consistent in addressing the text user and text analyst roles either individually or as part of the group. In contrast, students with lower proficiency indicated inconsistent engagement with the two roles, particularly in individual work. Generally, the students’ ability to build critical stance to text was also determined by the complexity of the material. The easier the text was comprehended, the more critical the students were toward the text. The study suggests that it be necessary to include explicit teaching and sufficient provision of time in CL teaching to produce an automated critical response to texts.

Published: September 2019

This paper serves as a preliminary study of the dialogic supervision as a breakthrough to improve the performance of pre-service English teachers in a Program Latihan Profesi/Professional Training Program (PLP). In detail, this research is aimed at: (1) investigating the pattern of ongoing PLP supervising, (2) identifying if there is an indication of dialogical supervision and (3) identifying the difficulties the pre-service teachers faced during their supervision. The Research and Development was designed for three years. The subjects of this research are pre-service teachers, supervisory teacher and supervisory lecturer. The data were collected through three instruments, such as observation, interview with pre-service teachers, interview with both supervisory teachers and lecturers, and questionnaires distributed to the pre-service teachers. The first-year findings show that the current supervision pattern tends to be conventional as seen from several aspects: face-to-face technique, formal situation, instructional language, supervisory lecturer and the teacher still dominate in the supervision discussion, non-problem based supervision topic, and the low frequency of meetings. On the other hand, some points are identified within the pattern of dialogical supervision, i.e., collegial language, independent reflection, friendly, flexibility of time and place. Besides, there are some problems faced by the supervisory lecturers and teachers, among other time limitation, less contextual supervision material, poor coordination, ineffective feedback. Therefore, the solutions include supervision planning coordinated by all three parties and made into a schedule, optimum use of social media, supervision material selection is based on the needs of the pre-service teachers.
