Published: April 2019

In 2017 the Indonesian Islamic Bank contributes premium income to Shari’a Insurance in Indonesia amounting to 1.8 billion rupiah. There are 5 (five) Islamic Banks in Indonesia that contribute premiums to national Shari’a Insurance. The big five Islamic Banks in Indonesia are; Bank Mandiri Shari’a (BMS), Bank Muamalat Indonesia (BMI), Bank Negara Indonesia Shari’a (BNIS), Bank Rakyat Indonesia Shari’a (BRIS) and Bank Mega Shari’a. With increasing income of the National Shari’a Bank, it is expected to have an increasingly income of Shari’a National. Indonesian Islamic Banks give significant contribution to the growth of Shari’a Insurance premiums in Indonesia. While other Shari’a financial instruments in Indonesia such as Shari’a BPR, Leasing Shari’a are not so large, so they have not provided significant premium contributions to National Shari’a Insurance. If other Islamic Financial Instruments can accelerate market share, then of course it will be able to provide additional premiums that are not small to Shari’a Insurance in Indonesia. This research is expected to be further developed in order to increase the income of Islamic banks in Indonesia while at the same time growing national Shari’a Insurance Premium Income. Keywords : Islamic Bank, Sharia Insurance and Takaful.
NLP Methods Of Motivation: Metaprograms and Reframing

Published: April 2019

Abstract
People are the most important asset category that an organization can use; none of them can exist without the human resources that make it up. However, paradoxically, they are also the only asset that can act against the goals of the organisation. From the same perspective, now, people can choose where to work or leave if they feel no pleasure anymore. Those who want to improve their living standards and reach a balance in their professional life will decide to leave their job if it is no longer satisfactory. a very important issue in the day-to-day activity of man is the motivation he/she feels for what he/she is doing. Motivation is a general term that describes the process of initiation, orientation and maintenance of physical and psychological activities, is a broad concept that includes a series of internal mechanisms, such as: the preference given to one activity over other activities, the enthusiasm and the force of a person’s reactions, the persistence of some organized action patterns (models) to achieve relevant objectives.
Comparison of alternative soil particle-size distribution models and their correlation with soil physical attributes
Authors: Afrasiabi Fatemeh , Khodaverdiloo Habib , Asadzadeh Farrokh , van Genuchten Martinus Th. 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Complete descriptions of the particle-size distribution (PSD) curve should provide more information about various soil properties as opposed to only the textural composition (sand, silt and clay (SSC) fractions). We evaluated the performance of 19 models describing PSD data of soils using a range of efficiency criteria. While different criteria produced different rankings of the models, six of the 19 models consistently performed the best. Mean errors of the six models were found to depend on the particle diameter, with larger error percentages occurring in the smaller size range. Neither SSC nor the geometric mean diameter and its standard deviation correlated significantly with the saturated hydraulic conductivity (Kfs
); however, the parameters of several PSD models showed significant correlation with Kfs
. Porosity, mean weight diameter of the aggregates, and bulk density also showed significant correlations with PSD model parameters. Results of this study are promising for developing more accurate pedotransfer functions.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
In bare soils of semi-arid areas, surface crusting is a rather common phenomenon due to the impact of raindrops. Water infiltration measurements under ponding conditions are becoming largely applied techniques for an approximate characterization of crusted soils. In this study, the impact of crusting on soil hydraulic conductivity was assessed in a Mediterranean vineyard (western Sicily, Italy) under conventional tillage. The BEST (Beerkan Estimation of Soil Transfer parameters) algorithm was applied to the infiltration data to obtain the hydraulic conductivity of crusted and uncrusted soils. Soil hydraulic conductivity was found to vary during the year and also spatially (i.e., rows vs. inter-rows) due to crusting, tillage and vegetation cover. A 55 mm rainfall event resulted in a decrease of the saturated soil hydraulic conductivity, Ks
, by a factor of 1.6 in the inter-row areas, due to the formation of a crusted layer at the surface. The same rainfall event did not determine a Ks
reduction in the row areas (i.e., Ks
decreased by a non-significant factor of 1.05) because the vegetation cover intercepted the raindrops and therefore prevented alteration of the soil surface. The developed ring insertion methodology on crusted soil, implying pre-moistening through the periphery of the sampled surface, together with the very small insertion depth of the ring (0.01 m), prevented visible fractures. Consequently, Beerkan tests carried out along and between the vine-rows and data analysis by the BEST algorithm allowed to assess crusting-dependent reductions in hydraulic conductivity with extemporaneous measurements alone. The reliability of the tested technique was also confirmed by the results of the numerical simulation of the infiltration process in a crusted soil. Testing the Beerkan infiltration run in other crusted soils and establishing comparisons with other experimental methodologies appear advisable to increase confidence on the reliability of the method that seems suitable for simple characterization of crusted soils.
Persistence of water repellency in coarse-textured soils under various types of forests in NW Spain
Authors: Benito Elena , Varela Eufemia , Rodríguez-Alleres María 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
The primary purpose of this work was to assess the persistence of water repellency in the surface horizon of coarse-textured soils under natural Quercus robur ecosystems, and Pinus pinaster and Eucalyptus globulus plantations, in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Water repellency was determined by applying the water drop penetration test (WDPT) to soil samples collected from variable depths (0–40 cm). Measurements were made on field-moist samples obtained at the end of the dry period and on samples dried at 25ºC in the air. All soils exhibited very high (severe to extreme) water repellency in the topmost soil layer (0–5 cm) but no significant differences among the three plant species studied. Extreme persistence was observed down to 20 cm in the soils under eucalyptus and down to 10 cm in those under pine. The soils under oak were those exhibiting the highest variability in water repellency and the greatest decrease in it with increasing depth (especially in relation to soils under eucalyptus).
Water repellency exhibited significant positive correlation with the C content and C/N ratio of the soils. Soil water repellency was similar in the air-dried samples and field-moist samples.
Giardia and Cryptosporidium in Red Foxes (Vulpes Vulpes): Screening for Coproantigens in a Population of Central Italy and Mini-Review of the Literature
Authors: Papini Roberto Amerigo , Verin Ranieri 
Published: April 2019

Abstract

Giardia and Cryptosporidium are common protozoan parasites affecting several animal species and humans. The aim of this survey was to investigate, for the first time, their prevalence in red fox (Vulpes vulpes) faecal samples in central Italy. Seventy-one red foxes of different ages and sexes were examined for antigenic detection of Giardia and Cryptosporidium in fecal samples by means of a commercial rapid immunochromatographic test. The sample was randomly selected from foxes culled during a population control program. They were divided into groups based on sex and age (≤1-year-old and >1-year-old). Five (7%) and one (1.4%) out of 71 fecal samples were positive for the Giardia or Cryptosporidium antigens by immunochromatographic assay, respectively, and no coinfections were observed. The present prevalence rates of Giardia and Cryptosporidium antigens in faeces from V. vulpes suggest that this host species is likely to play only a limited role in the spread of the two protozoa in the study area. A concise review of the literature related to Giardia and Cryptosporidium in V. vulpes is presented.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
The aim of the paper is to address the possibility of using mentorship as a strategic technique for achieving academic excellence, manpower development and in over-coming challenges of nation building. The authors conducted an extensive review of relevant literature from studies based on quantitative, qualitative, mixed method research and position papers on mentoring. This was followed with an analysis, synthesis and integration of ideas arising therefrom. Thereafter, they developed a logical link between the three variables. The paper concludes that while mentorship may not be the panacea to attaining these variables, it no doubt can play a vital role in achieving academic excellence, manpower development and nation building and therefore it is a strategy worth investing time, effort and money in adopting a combination of appropriate models.
From Presumption to DNA – Evolution of the Institution of the Parentage of a Child in the One-hundred-year History of Polish Law
Authors: Jurczyk-Romanowska Ewa , Kwiatkowski Piotr 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
After the end of World War I, in 1918, Poland regained its independence to once again find its place on the map of the world after 123 years. Thus, Polish jurists were faced with the task of creating an entirely new legal order, in the realm of the law of the state system as well as criminal, administrative, civil, and family law. The evolution of the questions pertaining to the parentage of a child was key in the realisation of the child’s right to know their identity, in granting children citizenship of the newly founded state of Poland, and in securing their social, civil, and political rights. The laws of the previous governments would clearly stigmatise children born illegitimi thori. The year 1946 brought the first mitigation of the division into marital and non-marital children, and in 1950 the division was abolished. The subsequent legislative changes were aimed to follow the advances in biological and medical sciences. In its directives the Supreme Court wold accept the successive methods of establishing parentage moving gradually from the prevalence of personal sources in court proceedings to that of DNA tests. Exegesis of legal text and analysis of judicial decisions and literature. After one hundred years of adapting legal regulations to social changes and scientific discovery Poland still faces the necessity to regulate the crucial issues of in vitro fertilisation and surrogacy. The one-hundred-years evolution of legislation and jurisdiction in Poland in the context of the development of new methods of establishing parentage is described in the present paper.
Private Saving Determinants in Portugal
Authors: Garcia Maria Teresa Medeiros , Rodrigues Pedro Nuno Louro Silvestre , Nunes Francisco 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
The combination of projected increases in the expenditure of the public pension scheme and low rates of private saving constitutes a policy challenge in Portugal. Policy debate embrace pension reform and the redoubling of household saving efforts. The purpose of this paper is to revisit the determinants of household saving in order to inform the debate with research findings, employing a constructed public pension wealth variable in a life cycle consumption/saving model pioneered by Feldstein (1974). We use time series techniques and data from 1983 to 2012. The findings show that an increase in the public pension wealth variable does not boost saving suggesting that concerns with saving to cope with the length of the life expectancy at the retirement age are not enough to reject the view that the public pension benefit is a substitute for household wealth. The other results are consistent with expectations: increases in disposable income positively impact saving; there is a significant negative propensity to save out of household wealth increase; and improvement in the government balance engender significant saving decrease.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
Internationalization in higher education is a key process as it affects the life, culture, curriculum, teaching, and research activities of universities and their members. Internationalization in higher education as an intertwined process is all-pervade and policy-based, integrated and permeated into the life, culture, curriculum and teaching, as well as research activities of universities and their members. The success of this process depends on the academic community in higher education institutions which consists of lecturers, employees and students, generally regarded as human resources. This research aims to examine the implementation of human resource management on the internationalization of a private university, the oldest private university in Indonesia. Descriptive qualitative method was employed in this study. The research subjects were key informants of Universitas Islam Indonesia. The data were obtained through direct observations on the internationalization process in the university’s human resource management. The findings indicate that the progress of internationalization was supported by human resources management. Additionally, leaders’ strong commitment in human resources management is essential to ensure the success of the internationalization.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
We used GATE simulation to study the effect of the coincidence time window (CTW) along with the block gap and the intercrystal gap on the count rate performance and the spatial resolution of the Biograph™ mCT 20 Excel. We ran simulations on our local cluster to reduce computation time. The task was split into several jobs that were then triggered simultaneously on the cluster nodes. The BiographTM mCT 20 Excel was validated using the NEMA NU 2-2012 protocol. Our results showed good agreement with experimental data. The simulated sensitivity, peak true count rate, peak noise equivalent count rate (NECR), and scatter fraction showed agreement within 3.62%, 5.77%, 0.6%, and 2.69%, respectively. In addition, the spatial resolution agreed within <0.51 mm. The results showed that a decrease in the coincidence time window and the block gap and an increase in the intercrystal gap increase the count rate performance and improve the spatial resolution. The results also showed that decreasing the coincidence time window increased the NECR by 27.37%. Changing the intercrystal gap from 0 to 0.2 mm and the block gap and from 4 to 0.4 mm increased the NECR by 5.53% and improved the spatial resolution at 1 cm by 2.91% and that at 10 cm by 3.85%. The coincidence time window, crystal gap, and block gap are important parameters with respect to improving the spatial resolution.

Abstract
Aim: To estimate the Gross Tumor Volume (GTV) using different modes (axial, helical, slow, KV-CBCT & 4D-CT) of computed tomography (CT) in pulmonary tumors.
Materials & Methods: We have retrospectively included ten previously treated case of carcinoma of primary lung or metastatic lung using Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in this study. All the patients underwent 4 modes of CT scan Axial, Helical, Slow & 4D-CT using GE discovery 16 Slice PET-CT scanner and daily KV-CBCT for the daily treatment verification. For standardization, all the patients underwent different modes of scan using 2.5 mm slice thickness, 16 detectors rows and field of view of 400mm. Slow CT was performed using axial mode scan by increasing the CT tube rotation time (typically 3 – 4 sec.) as per the breathing period of the patients. 4D-CT scans were performed and the entire respiratory cycle was divided into ten phases. Maximum Intensity Projections (MIP), Minimum Intensity Projections (MinIP) and Average Intensity Projections (AvIP) were derived from the 10 phases. GTV volumes were delineated for all the patients in all the scanning modes (GTVAX - Axial, GTVHL - Helical, GTVSL – Slow, GTVMIP -4DCT and GTVCB – KV-CBCT) in the Eclipse treatment planning system version 11.0 (M/S Varian Medical System, USA). GTV volumes were measured, documented and compared with the different modes of CT scans.
Results: The mean ± standard deviation (range) for MIP, slow, axial, helical & CBCT were 36.5 ± 40.5 (2.29 – 87.0), 35.38 ± 39.52 (2.1 – 82), 31.95 ± 37.29 (1.32 – 66.9), 28.98 ± 33.36 (1.01 – 65.9) & 37.16 ± 42.23 (2.29 – 92). Overall underestimation of helical scan and axial scan compared to MIP is 21% and 12.5%. CBCT and slow CT volume has a good correlation with the MIP volume.
Conclusion: For SBRT in lung tumors better to avoid axial and helical scan for target delineation. MIP is a still a golden standard for the ITV delineation, but in the absence of 4DCT scanner, Slow CT and KV-CBCT data may be considered for ITV delineation with caution.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) and psoriasis are chronic recurrent inflammatory skin diseases. The pathogenesis of concurrence of BP with psoriasis is still unknown. A 39-year-old male with a five-year history of chronic plaque psoriasis developed itchy large tense bullae on the trunk and upper extremities after he had been receiving narrow band ultraviolet B (NBUVB) therapy over five months. Skin biopsy from bulla on the trunk showed typical histological features of BP. Direct immunofluorescent staining showed deposit of immunoglobulin G and C3 in the basement membrane zone (BMZ) which supported the diagnosis of BP. It has been postulated that the autoimmune process responsible for BP lesions might be induced by ultraviolet light therapy and/or the inflammatory processes that occur in psoriasis.
Discovering the leader of a volleyball team using the sociometric survey method
Authors: Sopa Ioan Sabin , Pomohaci Marcel 
Published: April 2019

Abstract

Background: Some specialists have said that leaders are born, some said that they are made, but regardless of what you believe, finding the right leader can be very important to a sport team performance. The leader can be chosen by the coach, but is not always accepted by the team. So, we believe that it is important for the leader of the team to be elected by the members of the group; knowing the relationships between the members of a group can help build strong connections and good group cohesion.

Aim: The present study evaluates the connections within a volleyball team, establishing the sympathy relationships, mutual choice or rejection between players. These relationships can reveal our group dynamics, structure and hierarchy, so after analyzing those factors we can determine the group leader, the marginalized individuals and group cohesion and status of each member in the team. We also tried to find out if the formal leader named by the coach matches the leader of the group and if improving the relationships within our volleyball team and finding the right leader can improve the performance of our team. The group included 12 mini volleyball players, aged 10-12, that play in the women’s national youth championship.

Methods: We used the observational method, the survey method and the socio-metric test.

Results: The results of our research showed that the socio-metric test confirmed our presumptions and we can see that leaders of our group are DC (3), with a social index of 1, and GI (5), with a social index of 0.55. The cohesiveness of our group is good, with 7 mutual election and 5 mutual rejections, the coefficient of group cohesion is 0.11, and the Index of group cohesion is 0.03.

Conclusions: The conclusions of our study showed that our group has the right leader and good cohesiveness.
