Authors: Maujud Fathul 
Published: August 2019

Masyarakat memiliki peran yang strategis dalam upaya meningkatkan mutu pendidikan di madrasah, upaya tersebut diimplementasikan melalui partisipasi dan keterlibatan mereka baik secara moril maupun materil. Peran partisipasi masyarakat dalam meningkatkan mutu pendidikan di madrasah dapat berupa peran sebagai perencana dan pengawas program yang sudah disusun oleh madrasah. Partisipasi masyarakat merupakan salah satu bagian penting bagi peningkatan mutu pendidikan madrasah. Partisipasi menuntut adanya pemahaman yang sama dari pihak madrasah dan masyarakat (orangtua) terhadap visi, misi, dan tujuan pendidikan di madrasah. Partisipasi tidak cukup hanya dipahami oleh madrasah sebagai bagian yang penting bagi keberhasilan peningkatan mutu pendidikan, akan tetapi masyarakat juga harus meningkatkan keterlibatan mereka serta memahami makna pentingnya partisipasi bagi pembangunan madrasah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis: 1) Bentuk partisipasi masyarakat dalam meningkatkan mutu pendidikan di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Islahul Muta’allim Pagutan Kota Mataram. 2) Peran partisipasi masyarakat dalam meningkatkan mutu pendidikan di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Islahul Muta’allim Pagutan Kota Mataram. 3) Hambatan yang dihadapi oleh masyarakat dalam berpartisipasi untuk meningkatkan mutu pendidikan di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Islahul Muta’allim Pagutan Kota Mataram. Penelitian dilakukan di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Islahul Muta’allim Pagutan kota Mataram dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, teknik pengumpulan data yang dipergunakan adalah observasi partisipan, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi. Data dalam penelitian ini dianalisis dengan menggunakan teknik analisis interaktif yang dikembangkan oleh Miles dan Huberman. Sedangkan pengecekan keabsahan data dilakukan dengan uji kepercayaan (credibility), keteralihan (transferability), kebergantungan (dependability) reliabilitas, dan objektifitas (confirmability). Hasil penelitian ini yaitu: (1) Bentuk partisipasi masyarakat dalam upaya meningkatkan mutu pendidikan di madrasah dikelompokkan menjadi tiga bagian yaitu input, proses, dan output. (2) Peran partisipasi masyarakat dalam meningkatkan muru pendidikan dibagi ke dalam peran perencana dan pengawas. (3) Hambatan yang dihadapi masyarakat adalah masalah kesibukan dalam bekerja, kurangnya informasi tentang program madrasah, dan masih minimnya pengetahuan sebagian besar masyarakat tentang pentingnya arti partisipasi.
Teleost Gasdermin E Is Cleaved by Caspase 1, 3, and 7 and Induces Pyroptosis

Abstract
Pyroptosis is a newly defined gasdermin (GSDM)-dependent inflammatory type of programmed cell death. Different from mammals, which have a panel of pyroptotic GSDM members (e.g., GSDMA–E), teleosts possess only GSDME. The pyroptotic activity and regulation mechanism of teleost GSDME remain to be elucidated. In this work, we investigated the activity of the teleost Cynoglossus semilaevis (tongue sole) GSDME (CsGSDME) in association with different caspases (CASPs). We found that CsGSDME exerted pyroptotic and bactericidal activities through its N-terminal domain. Unlike human GSDME, which is exclusively cleaved by CASP3, CsGSDME was cleaved by C. semilaevis CASP (CsCASP) 1 with high efficiency and by CsCASP3 and 7 with comparatively low efficiencies, and all cleavages occurred at the 243FEVD246 site in the interdomain linker region of CsGSDME. Mutation of Phe243 to Asp/Ala and Asp246 to Ala in 243FEVD246 altered the cleavage preference of CsCASP1, 3, and 7. Treatment with loss-of-function CsCASP mutants or inhibition of CsCASP activity resulted in failure of CsGSDME cleavage. CsCASP1-cleaved CsGSDME induced pyroptosis, whereas CsCASP3/7-cleaved CsGSDME and F243 mutants induced switching of cell death from apoptosis to pyroptosis. Analysis of 54 teleost GSDME sequences revealed a conserved tetrapeptide motif that fits well to the inherent cleavage site of CASP1. Taken together, the results of our study demonstrate a hitherto, to our knowledge, unrecognized GSDME cleavage mode in teleosts that is clearly different from that in mammals, thus providing an important insight into the activation mechanism of CASP-mediated, GSDM-executed pyroptosis in teleosts.

Published: August 2019

Abstract. During the Continuous Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) Campaign 2017 (CONT17), carried out from 28 November through 12 December 2017, an extensive data set of atmospheric observations was acquired at the Geodetic Observatory Wettzell. In addition to in situ measurements of temperature, humidity, pressure or wind speed at the surface, radiosonde ascents yielded meteorological parameters continually up to 25 km height, and integrated water vapor (IWV) was obtained at several elevations and azimuths from a water vapor radiometer. Troposphere delays estimated from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) observations plus comparative values from two different Numerical Weather Models (NWMs) complete the abundance of data. In this presentation, we compare these data sets to parameters of the Vienna Mapping Functions 1 and 3 (VMF1 &amp; VMF3), which are based on NWM data by the ECMWF, and to estimates of VLBI analysis using the Vienna VLBI and Satellite Software (VieVS). On the one hand, we contrast the variety of troposphere delays in zenith direction with each other, while on the other hand we utilize radiosonde data and meteorological observations at the site to create local mapping functions which can then be compared to VMF3 and VMF1 at Wettzell. In general, we thus received very good accordance between the different solutions. Also in terms of the mapping functions, the local radiosonde mapping function is in consistence with VMF1 and VMF3 with differences less than 5 mm at 5∘ elevation.
STEAD: a high-resolution daily gridded temperature dataset for Spain
Authors: Serrano-Notivoli Roberto , Beguería Santiago , de Luis Martín 
Published: August 2019

Abstract. Using 5520 observatories covering the whole territory of
Spain (about 1 station per 90 km2 considering the whole period), a
daily gridded maximum and minimum temperature was built covering a period
from 1901 to 2014 in peninsular Spain and 1971 to 2014 in the Balearic and Canary
Islands. A comprehensive quality control was applied to the original data,
and the gaps were filled on each day and location independently. Using the
filled data series, a grid of 5 km × 5 km spatial resolution was created by
estimating daily temperatures and their corresponding uncertainties at each
grid point. Four daily temperature indices were calculated to describe the
spatial distribution of absolute maximum and minimum temperature, number of
frost days and number of summer days in Spain. The southern plateau showed
the maximum values of maximum absolute temperature and summer days, while
the minimum absolute temperature and frost days reached their maximums at
the northern plateau. The use of all the available information, the complete
quality control and the high spatial resolution of the grid allowed for an
accurate estimate of temperature that represents a precise spatial and
temporal distribution of daily temperatures in Spain. The STEAD dataset is
publicly available at https://doi.org/10.20350/digitalCSIC/8622 and can be

Uncertainty in satellite estimates of global mean sea-level changes, trend and acceleration

Published: August 2019

Abstract. Satellite altimetry missions now provide more than 25 years of accurate, continuous and quasi-global measurements of sea level
along the reference ground track of TOPEX/Poseidon. These measurements are
used by different groups to build the Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL) record,
an essential climate change indicator. Estimating a realistic uncertainty in
the GMSL record is of crucial importance for climate studies, such as
assessing precisely the current rate and acceleration of sea level,
analysing the closure of the sea-level budget, understanding the causes of
sea-level rise, detecting and attributing the response of sea level to
anthropogenic activity, or calculating the Earth's energy imbalance.
Previous authors have estimated the uncertainty in the GMSL trend over the
period 1993–2014 by thoroughly analysing the error budget of the satellite
altimeters and have shown that it amounts to ±0.5 mm yr−1
(90 %
confidence level). In this study, we extend our previous results, providing a
comprehensive description of the uncertainties in the satellite GMSL record.
We analysed 25 years of satellite altimetry data and provided for the first
time the error variance–covariance matrix for the GMSL record with a time
resolution of 10 days. Three types of errors have been modelled (drifts,
biases, noises) and combined together to derive a realistic estimate of the
GMSL error variance–covariance matrix. From the latter, we derived a 90 %
confidence envelope of the GMSL record on a 10 d basis. Then we used a
least squared approach and the error variance–covariance matrix to assess
the GMSL trend and acceleration uncertainties over any 5-year time periods
and longer in between October 1992 and December 2017. Over 1993–2017, we
have found a GMSL trend of 3.35±0.4 mm yr−1 within a 90 % confidence
level (CL) and a GMSL acceleration of 0.12±0.07 mm yr−2 (90 % CL). This is in agreement (within error bars)
with previous studies. The full GMSL error variance–covariance matrix is

La botte du cowboy
Authors: Kieffer Morgane 
Published: August 2019

Cet article s’intéresse à la fusion d’imaginaires a priori hétérogènes, l’imaginaire littéraire et l’imaginaire cinématographique, dans deux romans de Christine Montalbetti, Western (2005) et Journée américaine (2009). En effet, ces textes s’ancrent dans un effet d’exotisme qu’ils mettent eux-mêmes en relief, en sollicitant un effet de reconnaissance de la part du lecteur. Un double principe d’étrangeté y est alors à l’oeuvre : géo-culturel d’abord, à travers la convocation de l’imaginaire américain par lequel l’auteure prend ses distances avec celui, supposé, du roman français ou parisien ; esthétique ensuite, par le biais des emprunts nombreux au cinéma populaire, aussi bien à ses motifs, son vocabulaire technique (« travelling », « plan séquence »…), qu’à son art de la composition et du séquençage. Le roman progresse ainsi en puisant dans le champ cinématographique, entre ellipses, allusions et redoublements ludiques, invitant le lecteur à mobiliser ses souvenirs de spectateur. Cette nouvelle économie romanesque s’acquitte ainsi du sceau du soupçon dont les formalismes de la fin du xxe siècle ont ravivé la marque. C’est sur la puissance figurative et les outils du cinéma que le texte appuierait donc l’élan romanesque et sa faculté de pénétration des âmes. Par ce détour intersémiotique, l’allusion cinématographique servirait l’écriture à la fois comme filtre et révélateur pour une émotion retrouvée, entre surexposition lucide du cliché et retour de la plume à l’empathie.
Gaining insights in the nutritional metabolism of amphibians: analyzing body nutrient profiles of the African clawed frog,Xenopus laevis

Published: August 2019

Whole bodies ofXenopus laevis(n = 19) were analysed for chemical composition and morphometrics. The nutrient profile (macronutrients, amino acids, fatty acids and minerals) was evaluated by sex; interactions among variables with body weights and lengths, and comparisons made with different species of marine and fresh water fish. Significant differences were found in morphometric measurements, water content, several minerals and fatty acids between sexes ofX. laevis. Amino acid profiles differed in methionine, proline and cysteine, which could underlie different metabolic pathways in frogs when compared to fish. In addition, fatty acid profiles revealed more monounsaturated andn − 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids in frogs than in fish, more similar to values reported for terrestrial than aquatic vertebrates. Important interactions were also found between body measurements and fat, calcium, and phosphorus, as well as between essential and non-essential amino acids. The results indicate that frogs might have particular biochemical pathways for several nutrients, dependent on sex and linked to body weight, which ultimately could reflect specific nutrient needs.

Published: August 2019

Background
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) as a diagnostic or prognostic marker has been widely studied in patients with lung cancer. However, the relationship between serum CEA and tumor metastasis in lung cancer remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the ability of serum CEA to assess tumor metastasis in lung cancer patients.

Methods
We performed a retrospective analysis of 238 patients diagnosed with lung cancer from January to December 2016 at pneumology department of Dazhou Central Hospital (Dazhou, China). Serum CEA levels were quantified in each patient at the time of diagnosis of lung cancer. Metastasis was confirmed by computed tomography (CT), and/or positron emission tomography (PET) and/or surgery or other necessary detecting methods.

Results
Of the 213 patients eligible for final analysis, 128 were diagnosed with metastasis and 85 were diagnosed without metastasis. Compared to non-metastatic patients, the serum CEA was markedly higher in patients with metastasis (p < 0.001), and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.724 (95% CI [0.654–0.793]). Subsequent analyses regarding the number and location of tumor metastases showed that CEA also had clinical value for multiple metastases versus single metastasis (AUC = 0.780, 95% CI [0.699–0.862]) and distant metastasis versus non-distant metastasis (AUC = 0.815, 95% CI [0.733–0.897]). In addition, we found that tumor size, histology diagnosis, age and gender had no impact on the assessment performance of CEA.

Conclusion
Our study suggested the serum CEA as a valuable marker for tumor metastases assessment in newly diagnosed lung cancer patients, which could have some implications in clinical application.

Aims: The aim of this study was to establish the effect of selected soil amendments on Ralstonia solanacearum isolates in greenhouse on selected solaneceous crops.
Study Design: The study was laid out as randomized complete block design (RCBD) in split pot arrangement for two seasons in the greenhouse.
Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was carried out in Kenyattta University situated in Kiambu County about 20 km from Nairobi city along Nairobi-Thika road between July, 2017- September, 2017 and between November, 2017- January, 2018.
Methodology: The three host crops of interest (potatoes, tomatoes and capsicum) were inoculated with prepared pure bacterial isolates; 18 (2T-Kiambu-Low Land), 71(2A-Nyeri-Low Land), 67 (2A-Nyeri-High Land), 83 (2T-Kirinyaga-Highland) and MX (18/71/67/83). Potatoes, tomatoes and capsicum were planted in pots each with a radius of 0.07 m (area 0.015 m2).The experiment had a total of 450 pots having a total area of 6.93 m2. The treatments were ChalimTM, Super-hydro-grow polymer + Metham sodium, Metham sodium, Metham sodium & Orange peel, Super-hydro-grow polymer, Brassica tissues, ChalimTM + Super-hydro-grow polymer, Brassica tissue + Orange peel, Metham sodium + Super-hydro-grow polymer and Control (no amendments).
Results: There were significant differences (P≤0.05) in the bacterial wilt incidences in selected solaneceous crops between control and all the soil amendments used in season 1 and 2. Brassica tissue + Super-hydro-grow polymer was superior in reducing bacterial wilt incidences in selected solaneceous crops in all the R. solanacearum isolates from Kenyan highlands and lowlands both in season 1 and 2.
Conclusion: Organic and inorganic soil amendments could serve as a viable control of bacterial wilt in solaneceous crops caused by R. solanacearum in the greenhouse.

Phthiocerol dimycocerosates and phenolic glycolipids (PGL) are considered as major virulence elements of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, in particular because of their involvement in cell wall impermeability and drug resistance. The biosynthesis of these waxy lipids involves multiple enzymes, including thioesterase A (TesA). We observed that purified recombinant M. tuberculosis TesA is able to dimerize in the presence of palmitoyl‐CoA and our 3D structure model of TesA with this acyl‐CoA suggests hydrophobic interaction requirement for dimerization. Furthermore, we identified that methyl arachidonyl fluorophosphonate, which inhibits TesA by covalently modifying the catalytic serine, also displays a synergistic antimicrobial activity with vancomycin further warranting the development of TesA inhibitors as valuable antituberculous drug candidates.

AbstractReduced graphene oxide (rGO)/activated carbon (AC) composites with a hierarchically porous structure are prepared in the presence of ethylene glycol (EG) under microwave irradiation and exhibit excellent electrosorption properties. In this novel microwave‐assisted process, EG plays multiple roles such as solvent, GO reducing reagent, microwave absorber, rGO aggregation preventer, and surface wettability enhancer. In addition, the reaction system can be rapidly heated owing to the high dissipation factor of EG. As a result, GO can be rapidly reduced and in situ uniformly deposited on the AC surface. 3D porous structures can be obtained due to the explosion of the functional groups in GO. Additionally, EG causes electrostatic repulsion between the rGO layers, thereby preventing aggregation and forming a 3D hierarchical structure. Furthermore, the ethanedial that stems from oxidized ethylene glycol interacts with the graphene sheets, enhancing the wettability and conductivity of the composite electrodes, and subsequently increasing the efficiency of the charge‐transfer process. rGO/AC composites electrode fabricated using this process exhibit an outstanding electrosorption capacity of 18.6 ± 1.2 mg g−1, making them an excellent candidate for industrial applications.
Forward to Backward Scattering Ratio of Dielectric–Metal Heterodimer Suspended in Almost Free‐Space
Authors: Sugimoto Hiroshi , Hinamoto Tatsuki , Fujii Minoru 
Published: August 2019

AbstractA designed nanoantenna exhibiting unidirectional scattering is a promising building block for novel nanophotonic devices. For device applications using nanoantennas, quantitative information on the directional scattering property is indispensable. However, experimental determination of the forward to backward scattering intensity ratio of a nano‐object is not straightforward. Here, a scheme to determine the ratio quantitatively is proposed. A key technology of the scheme is placing a nano‐object on a thin SiO2 membrane. Because of the low refractive index and the small thickness of the membrane, the nano‐object can be treated as being suspended in free‐space. This allows us to use an ideal Mie scatterer such as a spherical silicon (Si) nanocrystal as a reference to calibrate optical setups for the measurements of forward and backward scattering. Using the developed scheme, the directional scattering property of a heterodimer composed of Si and gold nanospheres synthesized by a solution process is investigated. By combining transmission electron microscopy and scattering measurements, systematic studies on the directional scattering property of a heterodimer by changing the size of a Si nanosphere is performed. It is demonstrated that strong Kerker‐type forward scattering is achieved by tuning the resonance wavelength of the magnetic dipole resonance of a Si nanosphere.
