READING STRATEGIES IN EFL CLASSROOM: A THEORETICAL REVIEW
Authors: Budiharso Teguh 
Published: March 2018

Teaching reading has been long discussed in the context of English teaching curriculum in Indonesia. The ground of English curriculum (e.g. 1984, 1994, 2004 English curriculum) lays reading as the main model of teaching English in the secondary school across classroom levels. Many English teachers have been occupied with the concepts and perceive that some concepts in teaching reading are interchangeable with reading strategies. This paper tries to give review on the reading definition, reading models, reading strategies, teaching reading, and model of teaching reading in the communicative context. The reading models present psycholinguistics model and schema theory models. The strategies of reading discuss bottom up, top-down, and interactive strategies. Strategies in teaching reading deal with reading for information, mapping, skimming and scanning. The article is closed with teaching techniques covering pre-reading, while reading, and post-reading.

DEVELOVING CHARACTER EDUCATION WITH REFERENCE TO ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE: A CONCEPTUAL REVIEW
Authors: Supriyono Supriyono 
Published: March 2018

The paper focuses on the description of how character education is effectively developed and implemented. Using qualitative descriptive method, the writer presents efforts for character education in various countries and synrthesizes to formulate a proposed effective character education system. Character education in Indonesia has been the priority and the implentation is mandated to be included in all subject matters through curriculair and extra-curriculair activities. Effective practical implementation must be taken care off. The suggestive development and implementation of the character education include the strenghtenning of being valued people as in ikhsan, being good creatures of Allah as in Iman, and being able to do good deeds and moral action in the community as in Islam. These can be done through academic lessons, habituations, creativity-action and services. Character development is suggested to be internalized in the wholistic education system by developing the whole students’ potential through various active learnings and habituation.

Locating Oneself in One's Research: Learning and Engaging with Law in the Coast Salish World
Authors: Morales Sarah 
Published: March 2018

Recently, there has been an increasing awareness of Indigenous legal traditions. Spurred in part by the work of Indigenous and non-Indigenous academics researching in this field of law and the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which speaks to the importance of recognizing, teaching, and operationalizing Indigenous legal traditions in many of their calls to action, such as Call to Action no. 27, 28, 42, and 50. As a result, Indigenous legal traditions are informing aspects of law school curricula and are being discussed and explored in professional legal training seminars. However, many questions remain as to the most appropriate manner in which to carry out this important work, lest it become yet another avenue of colonizing Indigenous peoples and their legal traditions. In this article, I hope to examine some of these issues with respect to Coast Salish laws and methodology—in particular, the legal tradition of the Hul'qumi'num Mustimuhw, the Island Hul'quminum' people of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. By exploring my own research journey, as a Hul'qumi'num Mustimuhw (“Hul'qumi'num person”), I demonstrate how methodology is the necessary starting point for any individual wishing to understand more fully how to engage in and with the Indigenous legal traditions. It provides an introduction to the worldview, legal institutions, skills and theories of Indigenous peoples, like the Island Hul'qumi'num People. Each legal tradition—Indigenous and non-Indigenous—is complex and must be learned and practised within its proper context over many life times to facilitate social order. One of the goals of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission is to bring about a greater recognition of Indigenous legal traditions and engage with Indigenous laws, according to their own research methodologies; it is one of the first steps forward.

Abstract
Lawn, the most common human-created and culture-shaped habitat in urban green areas, has recently been questioned because of the negative environmental impacts from intensive lawn management. China, a late adopter of lawns, has a great potential to implement sustainable lawns. Based on a literature review, field observations and interviews with local politicians, lawn managers, landscape architects and local residents in Chinese cities, this study seeks inspiration for sustainable lawns within classical Chinese gardening and European examples and identifies the drivers of lawn development in China. The definition of lawns has varied over time, evolving with the changes in the relationship between human and environment. Chinese people's paradigm on lawns is influenced by the trend of Westernisation and globalisation after 1840s. We conclude that shifting the existing paradigm to environmentally friendly lawn aesthetics and bridging the knowledge gap between researchers and practitioners are challenges in achieving sustainable lawns in China. This paper creates a better understanding of the lawn phenomenon in China and is one step ahead in shifting people's paradigm of lawns in countries that are later adopters of lawns.
Finding Long Lost Lexell's Comet: The Fate of the First Discovered Near-Earth Object

Published: March 2018

Abstract
Jupiter-family Comet D/1770 L1 (Lexell) was the first discovered Near-Earth Object (NEO) and passed the Earth on 1770 July 1 at a recorded distance of 0.015 au. The comet was subsequently lost due to unfavorable observing circumstances during its next apparition followed by a close encounter with Jupiter in 1779. Since then, the fate of D/Lexell has attracted interest from the scientific community, and now we revisit this long-standing question. We investigate the dynamical evolution of D/Lexell based on a set of orbits recalculated using the observations made by Charles Messier, the comet’s discoverer, and find that there is a 98% chance that D/Lexell remains in the solar system by the year of 2000. This finding remains valid even if a moderate non-gravitational effect is imposed. Messier’s observations also suggest that the comet is one of the largest known near-Earth comets, with a nucleus of ≳10 km in diameter. This implies that the comet should have been detected by contemporary NEO surveys regardless of its activity level if it has remained in the inner solar system. We identify asteroid 2010 JL33 as a possible descendant of D/Lexell, with a 0.8% probability of chance alignment, but a direct orbital linkage of the two bodies has not been successfully accomplished. We also use the recalculated orbit to investigate the meteors potentially originating from D/Lexell. While no associated meteors have been unambiguously detected, we show that meteor observations can be used to better constrain the orbit of D/Lexell despite the comet being long lost.
Le prix de l’aluminium depuis 1886
Authors: Brault-Vattier Thierry 
Published: March 2018

La question du prix d’un produit de commodité comme l’aluminium pourrait se résumer, selon la théorie économique classique, à une rencontre entre l’offre et la demande matérialisée par la fluctuation des stocks disponibles. Le prix serait ainsi le résultat d’un point d’équilibre trouvé par les agents économiques selon leurs attentes respectives. Cependant, en observant l’aluminium dans une perspective historique, la réalité apparaît plus complexe que le voudrait le modèle théorique. Une étude sur la longue durée montre en effet différentes phases dans la détermination du prix de ce métal qui induisent chacune des modalités particulières en termes de régulation du marché. Pendant longtemps, les échanges de l’aluminium furent régis par des prix « producteurs », souvent fixés en fonction de variables qui n’étaient pas le simple reflet du jeu de l’offre et de la demande. Puis, très vite, à certaines périodes, se développa également le principe de prix « concertés » - à l’échelle nationale ou internationale - qu’ils soient formels, dans le cadre d’une organisation en cartel, ou tacites en raison de la physionomie oligopolistique d’un marché sur lequel dominaient les six « majors ». Puis, dans les années 1970, se substitue aux pratiques antérieures un prix de « marché » avec la cotation en 1978 de l’aluminium au London Metal Exchange (LME). La régulation des prix change de mains, des producteurs vers le marché financier. Cette rupture rapproche le prix de l’aluminium du cadre théorique walrasien d’un équilibre optimal obtenu par le jeu de la concurrence. Libéré et mondialisé, le prix fourni par le LME n’est pas pour autant une valeur absolue, ni homogène ; il connaît des disparités selon les zones géographiques concernées et la position des acheteurs, du fait notamment de l’ajout de primes diverses, de frais de stockage, d’assurance etc. En même temps, l’hégémonie de la Chine dans la production d’aluminium primaire inquiète et porte une interrogation sur la nature d’un prix de « marché » à l’œuvre au sein du LME.
La jeunesse ottomane, enjeu des luttes nationales (1914-1919)
Authors: Maksudyan Nazan 
Published: March 2018

À partir du milieu du XIX e siècle et surtout pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, les enfants furent un des enjeux de l’agitation nationaliste, sociale et religieuse. La structure multireligieuse, multiethnique, multilingue de l’Empire ottoman et la désunion de l’idée de nation ont compliqué ce que les enfants ottomans représentaient. Des combats de rue aux organisations de scoutisme, des campagnes de « protection de l’enfance » à l’ouverture d’orphelinats, les enfants ottomans issus de différentes identités communales ont incorporé et reproduit la crise politique interne et les rivalités en tant qu’agents et cibles de la politique nationaliste. Fondé sur la recherche dans les dossiers de la police ottomane, la presse, les livres scolaires et les articles des organisations de jeunesse, cet article se concentre sur la politisation et la socialisation des enfants et des jeunes ottomans selon des lignes ouvertement ethniques, religieuses et nationalistes.

Published: March 2018

AbstractChromosome positioning in sperm nucleus may have a functional significance by influencing the sequence of post-fertilization events. In this study we present data on preferential locations of chromosomes 1, 29 and X in Bos taurus spermatozoa. Here we demonstrate that the position of X chromosome in the sperm nucleus is more restricted as compared to the position of chromosome 1, which is about of the same size. Our data support the concept of the functional significance of genome architecture in male germline cells.
Repeatability of macular thickness measurements with the iVue-100 optical coherence tomographer
Authors: Rampersad Nishanee , Hansraj Rekha 
Published: March 2018

Background: The reliability of an instrument is dependent on its accuracy and repeatability. The iVue-100 optical coherence tomographer (OCT) is a spectral domain device that has the advantage of being able to measure both the anterior and posterior segments of the eye. But its repeatability for macular thickness measurements has not been assessed and this was the primary purpose of this study.Aim: To determine the repeatability of the iVue-100 OCT for macular thickness measurements.Settings: This study was conducted at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.Methods: Repeatability (intra-observer, inter-observer and inter-session) of the iVue-100 OCT was assessed on 50 participants selected using convenience sampling. Data were statistically analysed using Bland–Altman analysis, the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), coefficient of variation and the paired t-test.Results: The mean age and standard deviation for the 50 participants were 23.88 ± 6.93 years (range 18–51 years). The ICCs for intra-observer repeatability ranged between 0.940 and 0.989, whereas the coefficients of variation ranged between 0.040 and 0.084. For both inter-observer and inter-session repeatability, the t-test showed no statistically significant differences (p > 0.05), and Bland–Altman analysis found the majority of the measurements to be within the 95% limits of agreement.Conclusion: Irrespective of whether repeated measurements are being taken consecutively by the same examiner, by a different observer or at a different time, the iVue-100 OCT is highly reliable in terms of repeatability which is of paramount importance in any clinical or research setting.
The relationship between readiness to change and work engagement: A case study in an accounting firm undergoing change
Authors: Matthysen Megan , Harris Chantel 
Published: March 2018

Orientation: Readiness to change is a critical element for the successful implementation of organisational change. Work engagement ensures that employees are committed to the organisations’ goals and is an important driver for organisational success. It is important that organisations sustain work engagement during organisational changes.Research purpose: To investigate the relationship between readiness to change and work engagement within an accounting firm.Motivation for the study: A change process can only be implemented successfully if there is a level of readiness to change. When readiness exists, resistance to change is reduced. Engaged employees remain enthusiastic about their organisation and choose to remain with the organisation. Change agents need to consider work engagement as an integral part of the change process, that is, before, during and after change has taken place. Work engagement and readiness to change are important elements for successful organisational change.Research design, approach and method: A cross-sectional survey design was utilised to collect the data. A convenience sample of employees and top management from the accounting firm (n = 340) were included. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients, Pearson’s product-moment correlations, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Scheffé tests, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling were used to analyse the data.Main findings: Results indicated a practical and statistically significant relationship between readiness to change and work engagement. High levels of work engagement will generate high levels of readiness to change. Further to this, readiness to change is influenced by employees’ work engagement and an organisation’s change processes.Practical or managerial implications: An employee’s work engagement and an organisation’s processes of change influence an employee’s readiness to change. Therefore, organisations need to sustain work engagement and improve change processes.Contribution: The contribution of this study is that it has provided new insights into the relationships between readiness to change and work engagement in a South African context.

Published: March 2018

Abstract
Kounis syndrome defined as the occurrence of acute coronary syndrome in the setting of allergic reaction due to mast cells activation and inflammatory mediators release that induces coronary vasospasm, plaque erosion, or even stent thrombosis. A 25-year-old postpartum female with asthma and recurrent episodes of chest pain was admitted with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in the setting of coronary artery spasms. The patient was started on calcium channel blockers and nitrite-based medication with no improvement. She was noted to have eosinophilia and initiation of corticosteroid-based regimen lead to resolution of chest pain episodes and normalization of eosinophilia. Kounis syndrome should be considered in young patients with chest pain. Coronary vasodilators are considered as the first-line of treatment. The use of corticosteroids has been described in the literature in severe or refractory cases.
The Islamic tradition and health inequities: A preliminary conceptual model based on a systematic literature review of Muslim health-care disparities
Authors: Padela Aasim I. , Zaidi Danish 
Published: March 2018

AbstractObjective: The objective of this study was to identify mechanisms by which Islamic beliefs, values, and Muslim identity might contribute to health inequities among Muslim populations. Methods: A systematic literature review of empirical studies in Medline from 1980 to 2009 was conducted. The search strategy used three terms covering health-care disparities, ethnicity, and location to uncover relevant papers. Results A total of 171 articles were relevant based on titles and abstracts. Upon subsequent full-text review, most studies did not include religious identity or religiosity as explanatory variables for observed health disparities. Of 29 studies mentioning Islam within the text, 19 implicated Muslim identity or practices as potential explanations for health differences between Muslim and non-Muslim groups. These 19 studies generated six mechanisms that related the Islamic tradition, Muslim practices, and health inequities: (1) Interpretations of health and/or lack of health based on Islamic theology; (2) Ethical and/or cultural challenges within the clinical realm stemming from Islamic values or practices; (3) Perceived discrimination due to, or a lack of cultural accommodation of, religious values or practices in the clinical realm; (4) Health practices rooted within the Islamic tradition; (5) Patterns of health-care seeking based on Islamic values; and (6) Adverse health exposures due to having a Muslim identity. Conclusion: While there is scant empirical research on Muslim health-care disparities, a preliminary conceptual model relating Islam to health inequities can be built from the extant literature. This model can serve to organize research on Muslim health and distinguish different ways in which a Muslim identity might contribute to the patterning of health disparities.

Published: March 2018

AbstractA 52-year-old postmenopausal female was found to have a large solid cystic adnexal mass, compressing the right ureter, and was suspected to have carcinoma ovary. However, it turned out to be a retroperitoneal neurogenic tumor. Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) may have cystic areas and may be misdiagnosed as ovarian tumors. Treatment of MPNST involves complete surgical excision of the tumor with a wide margin.
