Authors: Arifin Zainal 
Published: January 2015

The term of multicultural education, religious education contains of two conceptscombined, i.e between multicultural education and religious education. Multiculturaleducation as the basis of education values cultural diversity. Whereas, the religiouseducation is as a basis of education on religious values to produce religious men. The combination of these two concepts of education aims to make an educational system that integrates from both of them, or reduce the advantages, especially to produce religious humanist students in a good character.Istilah pendidikan multikultural-religius mengandung dua konsep pendidikanyang dipadukan, yaitu antara pendidikan multikultural dan pendidikan agama.Pendidikan multikultural sebagai basis pendidikan yang menghargai kemajemukan budaya sedangkan pendidikan agama sebagai basis pendidikan yang bersumberkan pada nilai-nilai keagamaan untuk melahirkan manusia-manusia religius. Perpaduan dua konsep pendidikan ini bertujuan untuk dapat membangun sistem pendidikan yang dapat mengintegrasikan dari keduanya atau mengurangi kelemahannya,khususnya untuk mewujudkan karakter peserta didik yang humanis dan religius.
Logoterapi, sebuah upaya pengembangan spiritualitas dan makna hidup dalam perspektif psikologi pendidikan Islam
Authors: Suyadi Dr. 
Published: January 2015

Sense of life is achieved by realizing three values of life, the values of creative (creative values), the values of experiment (experiential values) and the values of attitude (attitudinal values). With this logoterapi expect we will be able to better understand the potential and spiritual resources that are universal. The resources and potential are oftensuppressed, blocked, and ignored even forgotten.With the approach of Islamic educationalpsychology, sense of life will be more meaningful because it contains theoretical andphilosophical foundations that are based on spiritual values (Deity)

There are still many acts of terrorism that are as concrete evidences of how the use of the security approach alone isn’t effective enough to eradicate terrorism and Islamic radicalism to its roots in Indonesian. Therefore, various approaches of handling terrorism and Islamic radicalism must also be constantly pursued. That is the de-radicalization program through the nuances of Islamic education multicultural inclusiveness. In this case, they should pay attention to curriculum factors, educators, and educators use learning strategies.Masih banyaknya aksi terorisme di bumi Indonesia merupakan bukti konkritbetapa penggunaan pendekatan keamanan saja tidak cukup efektif untukmembasmi terorisme dan radikalisme Islam hingga akar-akarnya. Oleh karena itu,berbagai pendekatan penanganan terorisme dan radikalisme Islam lainnya harus pula senantiasa diupayakan. Salah satunya adalah dengan program deradikalisasi melalui pendidikan Islam bernuansa inklusif-multikultural. Dalam hal ini, mereka perlu memprhatikan faktor kurikulum, pendidik, dan strategi pembelajaran yang digunakan pendidik.
Pancasila dan deradikalisasi berbasis agama
Authors: Ridwan Nur Khalik 
Published: January 2015

Pancasila is the state foundation and national philosophy that is received by the majorityof the Indonesian people. Religious education with no concept of Pancasila makes only the generation of separation instead of national integration that is needed by the nation of Indonesia. Religious education must be the education of sensitive peace, sensitive to people’s issues and social justice that is as an important part of the Pancasila and the needs of our nation. Religious education becomes an important part to increase faith, to have a good nation, and to make a good beliver and patriotic. Pancasila adalah dasar negara dan falsafah bangsa yang diterima mayoritas masyarakat Indonesia. Pendidikan agama tanpa wawasan Pancasila justru akan membentuk generasi separasi, bukan integrasi nasional yang sangat dibutuhkan oleh bangsa Indonesia. Pendidikan agama harus menjadi pendidikan yang sensitif perdamaian,sensitif terhadap persoalan rakyat, dan keadilan sosial yang menjadi bagian penting dari Pancasila dan kebutuhan bangsa. Pendidikan agama juga menjadi bagian penting untuk meningkatkan keimanan, berbangsa, dan membentuk orang yang shalih dan patriotik.

Published: January 2015

Abstract
In this study, selected components of seminal plasma in equine semen were evaluated. Levels of enzymes, electrolytes, microelements and some other components were observed. The aim of this study was to find some important differences between the levels of these components and the total sperm motility after freezing and thawing (freezability of the semen). Total of 32 ejaculates from 7 stallions were collected, assessed and prepared in 0,5 ml straws for freezing. After thawing, the sperm motility was analyzed and ejaculates were divided into two groups: “good” freezable and “poor” freezable. The only statistically significant difference between groups of „good“ and „poor“ freezable ejaculates was in the concentration of vitamin E in the seminal plasma. In the group of „good“ freezable ejaculates, the level of vitamin E was significantly lower (p≤0,05) than in the group of “poor” freezable ejaculates

Abstract
We construct an example of a Steiner tree with an infinite number of branching points connecting an uncountable set of points. Such a tree is proven to be the unique solution to a Steiner problem for the given set of points. As a byproduct we get
the whole family of explicitly defined finite Steiner trees, which are unique connected solutions of the Steiner problem for
some given finite sets of points, and with growing complexity (i.e. the number of branching points).
Financing High-tech Start-ups: Moral Hazard, Information Asymmetry and the Reallocation of Control Rights
Authors: Jia Ye (George) 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
Recent data suggest that venture capital investments concentrate in the high-tech sector only in those countries where banks are not allowed to offer equity financing. To explain this fact, I develop a simple principal-agent model of start-up financing with both private information and hidden actions in which the equity investor can vary the level of control over the firm and the debt investor cannot. The model shows that when three commonly documented characteristics of the high-tech industry coexist, namely: (i) a high degree of information asymmetry, (ii) a high level of uncertainty about returns, and (iii) a large amount of R&D investments preceding production, then the ability to reallocate control rights that are contingent on performance becomes the key. Unlike debt contracts, equity contracts specify detailed provisions regarding the allocation of control rights. Thus, venture capitalists as equity holders have a clear advantage in financing young high-tech firms in places where banks are not allowed to offer equity contracts; in countries with no such restriction, they no longer have such an advantage. This result helps explain why most European governments’ efforts in promoting venture capital activities failed to attract such investments in the high-tech sector.
Effect of angular stability and other locking parameters on the mechanical performance of intramedullary nails

Published: January 2015

AbstractTo extend the indications of intramedullary nails for distal or proximal fractures, nails with angle stable locking options have been developed. Studies on the mechanical efficacy of these systems have been inconsistent likely due to confounding variables such as number, geometry, or orientation of the screws, as well as differences in the loading mode. Therefore, the aim of this study was to quantify the effect of angular stability on the mechanical performance of intramedullary nails. The results could then be compared with the effects of various locking screw parameters and loading modes. A generic model was developed consisting of artificial bone material and titanium intramedullary nail that provided the option to systematically modify the locking screw configuration. Using a base configuration, the following parameters were varied: number of screws, distance and orientation between screws, blocking of screws, and simulation of freehand locking. Tension/compression, torsional, and bending loads were applied. Stiffness and clearance around the zero loading point were determined. Angular stability had no effect on stiffness but completely blocked axial clearance (p=0.003). Simulation of freehand locking reduced clearance for all loading modes by at least 70% (p<0.003). The greatest increases in torsional and bending stiffness were obtained by increasing the number of locking screws (up to 80%, p<0.001) and by increasing the distance between them (up to 70%, p<0.001). In conclusion, our results demonstrate that the mechanical performance of IM nailing can be affected by various locking parameters of which angular stability is only one. While angular stability clearly reduces clearance of the screw within the nail, mechanical stiffness depends more on the number of screws and their relative distance. Thus, optimal mechanical performance in IM nailing could potentially be obtained by combining angular stability with optimal arrangement of locking screws.

Published: January 2015

AbstractRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory auto-immune disease affecting approximately 1%–2% of the population worldwide. RA is a potentially crippling disease since it results in malformation of the joints. RA is mostly diagnosed based on clinical manifestations but serological tests against autoantibodies, such as rheumatoid factor and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptides (aCCP), are available. The presence of aCCP antibodies is strongly associated with a more severe, destructive disease course. Recently, a new test for the measurement of aCCP antibodies on the IMMULITE 2000(XPi) platform was developed by Siemens Healthcare. In this study we investigated the performance characteristics of this new aCCP test in four different hospital laboratories and compared the new test with three different commercially available platforms.Samples were collected from patients presented to the hospital for aCCP measurement. Serum aCCP levels were determined by aCCP (Ig)G assay for IMMULITE 2000(XPi) systems (Siemens Healthcare), ImmunoScan RA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test (Eurodiagnostica), Immunocap 250 (Thermofisher) or aCCP IgG assay on the Modular system (Roche Diagnostics). The evaluation protocol consisted of within-run imprecision (20 sequential runs), between-run imprecision (16 workdays), comparison of serum and plasma measurement and method comparison.The within-run imprecision (n=20) for aCCP IgG assay on three different IMMULITE 2000(XPi) systems ranged from 3.0% to 6.9% at levels 3.2–171.2 U/mL. Between-run imprecision (n=16 days) ranged from 5.2% to 11% at levels of 3.2–106.9 U/mL. Method comparison showed good correlation when samples were measured on two different Immulite analyzers in two different hospital laboratories [0.21+0.96x (n=40)]. Method comparison of the IMMULITE 2000(XPi) aCCP test with aCCP on Immunoscan RA ELISA (n=112), Immunocap 250 (n=105) and the Modular system (n=289) resulted in a concordance of 90.2%, 93.3% and 94.8%, respectively. Correlation of serum versus heparin samples showed a correlation of 0.12+1.08x for the Immulite 2000(XPi) test.The aCCP assay on the IMMULITE 2000(XPi) has good performance characteristics and shows high level of concordance with the aCCP test on Immunoscan RA ELISA test, Immunocap 250 and the Modular systems.
Aspartate 496 from the subsite S2 drives specificity of human dipeptidyl peptidase III

Published: January 2015

Abstract
Human dipeptidyl peptidase III (hDPP III) is a member of the M49 metallopeptidase family, which is involved in intracellular protein catabolism and oxidative stress response. To investigate the structural basis of hDPP III preference for diarginyl arylamide, using site-directed mutagenesis, we altered its S2 subsite to mimic the counterpart in yeast enzyme. Kinetic studies revealed that the single mutant D496G lost selectivity due to the increase of the K
m value. The D496G, but not S504G, showed significantly decreased binding of peptides with N-terminal arginine, and of tynorphin. The results obtained identify Asp496 as an important determinant of human DPP III substrate specificity.
Analysis of Photovoltaic (PV) Module during Partial Shading based on Simplified Two-Diode Model
Authors: Chitti Babu B. , Gurjar Suresh , Meher Ashish 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
Generally, the characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) array are largely affected by solar temperature, solar irradiance, shading patterns, array configuration and location of shading modules. Partial shading is due to moving clouds and shadows of nearby obstacles and can cause a significant degradation in the output of PV system. Hence, the characteristics of PV array get more multifaceted with multiple peaks. The ultimate aim of the paper is to analyze the performance of PV module during such adverse condition based on simplified two-diode model. To reduce the computational time, the simplified two-diode model has a photocurrent source in parallel with two ideal diodes. Only four parameters are required to be calculated from datasheet in order to simulate the model. Moreover, the performance of PV array is evaluated at different shaded patterns and it is found that the model has less computational time and gives accurate results.

Abstract
Electrolyzed water offers several advantages over other sanitizers for sanitation of both food contact and non-contact surfaces. However, current electrolyzed water-generating process has low fluid output. To overcome such limitations, a circulating electrolyzed water-generating system has been developed in this study. The effects of NaCl/HCl concentration and electrolysis time were investigated. The free chlorine form (HClO and ClO–) of circulating electrolyzed water, and NaClO with the available chlorine concentrations of 50, 100, 200 mg/L were analyzed by using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer. The results show that the main chlorine form was HClO when the pH of solution was 6.44–6.53. The only ClO– in NaClO solutions when the pH of solution is 11.90. With the dilution of circulating electrolyzed water, the HClO concentration decreased while its proportion account for total available chlorine concentration increased (from 56.99% to 74.29%). The results indicated the potential application of diluted circulating electrolyzed water with high available chlorine concentration. The developed circulating electrolyzed water system in this study could be considered as a potential sanitizer due to its high stability, strong antimicrobial activity with high concentration of HClO and minimized equipment requirements for production.

Published: January 2015

Abstract

Background: Different compounds of smoking (e.g., nicotine and cotinine) are risk factors for various diseases such as oral cancer and periodontal diseases. Some studies reported the negative effects of nicotine on cell proliferation and differentiation. The present in vitro study assessed the effects of nicotine and cotinine (long-acting metabolite of nicotine) on the attachment and viability of human gingival fibroblast (HGF) cells to tooth root surfaces.

Methods: A total of 70 teeth specimens were placed into 48-well culture plates and covered with HGF cell suspension, in complete Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium culture medium containing 1 nM, 1 μm, 1 mM, and 5 mM of nicotine and cotinine concentrations. Cellular attachment and viability measured using an MTT assay and a scanning electron microscope were used for cell morphological evaluation.

Results: After 24 h, low (nanomolar and micromolar) and high concentrations (millimolar) of nicotine and cotinine caused a significant reduction in the initial cell adhesion in comparison with the control group, but no significant difference was observed between the nicotine and the cotinine groups (p<0.05). Dentally attached cells with low concentrations of nicotine and cotinine proliferated 48 h after exposure, the same as the control group. However, dentally attached cells with high concentrations of nicotine and cotinine (especially 5 mM) did not proliferate 24 h after exposure (p<0.05).

Conclusions: Low concentrations of nicotine and cotinine caused a reduction in the initial cell adhesion. However, no significant adverse effects on the proliferation of attached cells were seen in the longer period. High concentrations of nicotine and cotinine have adverse effects on the cell adhesion and proliferation of HGF cells.

Authors: Tan Aaron C. , Mak Jenson C.S. 
Published: January 2015

Abstract

Background: This study aims to further elucidate the demographic and diabetes characteristics of diabetic patients in Australia who use complementary and alternative medicines (CAM).

Methods: This was a prospective, cross-sectional questionnaire-based study of 149 patients with diabetes attending a general endocrine clinic in a tertiary referral hospital in Sydney, Australia.

Results: Thirty-seven patients (25%) stated they had used CAM therapies within the past 5 years. Vitamins (53%) were the most common CAM therapy used. A greater number of CAM nonusers reported calf pain whilst walking (21% vs. 9%, p=0.051), and HbA1c values were lower for CAM nonusers (7.7% vs. 8.1%, p=0.057). Amongst CAM users, a majority of patients (85%) did not consult with their specialist or general practitioner prior to starting CAM therapy.

Conclusions: With the increasing burden of diabetes, health practitioners will need to be more vigilant and understanding of the potential impact of CAM use on diabetes management.
A Musical Fight between Soul and Body in 1600
Authors: Petersen Nils Holger 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
The subject of this article is a discussion of Emilio de’ Cavalieri’s early Baroque music drama, Rappresentatione di anima, et di corpo (The Play of Soul and Body), performed in Rome in 1600 with a particular focus on the ambivalence apparent in this work between the text’s explicit pious plea for renouncing worldly pleasures on the one hand and, on the other hand, the theatrical, musical, and even textual means in the play intended to delight the audience, but also through this delight to bring about its religious message to the audience. This ambivalence may shed light on broader issues of cultural history connected to continuities and changes in Reform Catholicism in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Although seemingly influenced by a general pessimism of the time, the Catholic world could draw on a devotional, aesthetically resourceful, tradition providing ambiguous relief in contemporary pious culture, including Cavalieri’s avant-garde music dramatic devotion.
