Published: March 2022

Guru yang belum memiliki kompetensi keilmuan mengenai keguruan akan mengakibatkan tidak profesionalnya dalam proses belajar mengajar di kelas. Masih ditemukannya guru yang lulusan SMA/MA karena adanya masa pengabdian, merupakan masalah yang harus diselesaikan oleh kepala sekolah. Kepala sekolah harus hadir untuk memfasilitasi untuk mengembangkan kompetensi guru tersebut salah satunya dengan supervisor. Tujuannya ialah agar terbentuk guru-guru yang profesionalisme melalui pengawasan dan membantu guru menyelesaikan masalah dalam proses belajar mengajar. Untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut, peneliti menggunakan metode pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode penelitian kepustaam atau library research. Dengan analisis data menggunakan model Miles dan Huberman yakni reduksi data, pemaparan data dan menarik kesimpulan. Hasil dari penelitian tersebut ialah kepala sekolah dituntut untuk mengembangkan sekolah yang dimpimpinnya, baik dari segi sumber daya manusia yang ada di sekolah maupun dalam proses pembelajarannya. Dalam proses kegiatan belajar mengajar, guru memiliki peran yang vital. Oleh karena itu, guru harus memiliki kompetensi dan kwalitas mengenai dunia pendidikan khususnya dalam pengelolaan kegiatan belajar mengajar di kelas. Dengan begitu, profesionalisme guru akan meningkat seiring pengawasan dari kepala sekolah. Kepala sekolah harus memfasilitasi para guru dengan kegiatan-kegiatan yang menunjang peningkatan kompetensi pada guru.

The Christian Left: From the Past toward a Possible Future
Authors: Medina Néstor 
Published: March 2022

[Figure: see text] A sociohistorical and theological retracing of some of the most important moments and aspects of the Christian left in Canada, recounting some of its major contributions and actors, and exploring some of the challenges this movement will face in the future. Adopting a decolonial approach, this article is divided into two sections. The first section examines some of the issues related to social reform that have characterized the Christian left, with particular attention to some of its key actors, socio-ethical and theological justice themes, and shifts over time. The second section pays closer attention to some of the social and theological challenges this diverse movement confronts as it attempts to account for Canada’s history of colonization and Christianity’s complicity with the colonial project. This article invites Christian leftists to engage in a process of social and theological decolonization where racialized and minoritized peoples are not seen as objects of good will, but as protagonists in the struggle for social justice and decolonization.

Background: Despite decades of research, our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) etiology remains incomplete. In recent years, appreciation has grown for potential roles for the microbiota in shaping neurological health. Objective: This study aimed to examine associations between the microbiota and AD in a human cross-sectional cohort. Methods: Forty-five AD patients and 54 matched controls were recruited in Vancouver, Canada. Fecal and oral samples underwent 16S microbiota sequencing. A wide array of demographic and clinical data were collected. Differences between participant groups were assessed, and associations between microbes and clinical variables were examined within the AD population. Results: The gut microbiota of AD patients displayed lower diversity relative to controls, although taxonomic differences were sparse. In contrast, the AD oral microbiota displayed higher diversity, with several taxonomic differences relative to controls, including a lower abundance of the families Streptococcaceae and Actinomycetaceae, and a higher abundance of Weeksellaceae, among others. The periodontitis-associated oral microbe Porphyromonas gingivalis was 5 times more prevalent among patients. No significant associations between gut or oral microbes and cognition were detected, but several correlations existed between microbes and mood disorders and BMI among patients, including a strong positive correlation between Alphaproteobacteria and depression score. Conclusion: The gut microbiota of AD patients was not overtly different from controls, although it displayed lower diversity, an overall marker of microbiota health. The oral microbiota did display marked differences. Cognition was not associated with a microbial signature, but other relevant AD factors including mood and BMI did demonstrate an association.

Background: Youth with Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DBMD) experience challenges in attaining adult roles, which may impact quality of life. New interventions and treatments may facilitate adult role attainment through improved function. Historical data on adult role attainment is important to assess the impact of new interventions on teens and young adults with DBMD. This study assesses medical knowledge, independence and employment, and relationships among adolescents and young adults with DBMD. Methods: This study uses data from a 2013 Muscular Dystrophy Surveillance, Tracking, and Research Network (MD STARnet) survey on adult transition. Males with DBMD aged 16–30 years were included. Results: Sixty-five of 258 eligible males participated; we report results on 60 participants with an MD STARnet case definition of DMD or BMD. Individuals with BMD reported higher rates than those with DMD of frequently staying home without supervision (50% BMD; 14% DMD), independently performing daily physical needs (93% BMD; 7% DMD) and being employed full or part time (33% BMD; 4% DMD). Most participants understood medication and physical therapy goals; less than half indicated being often or always responsible for scheduling DMBD-related management and refilling medications. Most had not been in a romantic relationship but reported desiring such relationships. Conclusions: Our data reinforce the impact of DMD (and to a lesser extent, BMD) on transition to adult roles. These results provide an important historical comparator for teen and adult patients who are trying new interventions and therapies. Such data are important for assessing the quality-of-life impact of new treatments and to inform support and training programs for people with DBMD as they transition to new adult roles and responsibilities.

Published: March 2022

As Self is indestructible and cannot be explained with prima facie world view, it has been explained with the essence subjectivity and objectivity ingrained into the spermatikos (seed or logoi) of life. Therefore blending with the modern science phenomena of cell division where self replication of DNA(essence of Somatic cell division) takes place in the interphase stage of Mitosis has been explored as the seed or logoi and then indestructible characteristics has been described with Virtual Self evolved by Data. Hence ancientPhilosophy, Genetics and Digital manifestation of human body can be combined to define the ageold concept of Self in new light

ROBUST PARAMETER ESTIMATION FOR RANDOM EFFECT PANEL DATA MODEL IN THE PRESENCE OF HETEROSCEDASTICITY AND INFLUENTIAL OBSERVATIONS
Authors: Muhammad Sani , Shamshuddeen Suleiman , Baoku Ismail Gboyega 
Published: March 2022

Panel data estimators can strongly be biased and inconsistent in the presence of heteroscedasticity and anomalous observations called influential observations (IOs) in Random effect (RE) panel data model. The existing methods (LWS, WLSF, WLSDRGP) address only the problem of IO but fail to remedy the combine problem of heteroscedasticity and IOs. Therefore, in this research we develop a method that will remedy the combine problem of heteroscedasticity and IOs based on robust heteroscedasticity consistent covariance matrix (RHCCM) estimator and fast improvised influential distance (FIID) weighting method denoted by WLSFIID. The simulation and numerical evidences show that our proposed estimation method is more efficient than the existing methods by providing smallest bias, and smallest standard error of HC4 and HC5
EVALUATION OF THE PHYTOCHEMICAL AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF Kalanchoe pinnata AGAINST PLANT PATHOGENS ISOLATED FROM DISEASED PLANT PATHOGENS

Published: March 2022

The antimicrobial activity of Kalanchoe pinnata (Syn Bryophyllum pinnatum) against clinical pathogen is well documented in literature but there is paucity of information on its effect against plant pathogens. This work attempts to evaluate inhibitory activity of Kalanchoe pinnata (Syn Bryophyllum pinnatum) on selected plant pathogens. Aqueous, acetone, ethanol and methanol leaf, stem and root extracts of Kalanchoe pinnata (Syn Bryophyllum pinnatum) were prepared using standard techniques. Extracts were tested against bacteria and fungi isolated from some diseased plants, both singly and in combination with standard antimicrobials. Inhibitory activity was determined using agar well diffusion technique as well as broth dilution technique. Results indicate that the leaf ethanol extract was most effective against the plant pathogens. Zones of inhibition (mm) ranged from [19.0 ± 0.32] for Aspergillus flavus to [23.5 ± 0.22] for Xanthomonas campestris. Meanwhile, the Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) reduced from 6.25 mg/mL to 3.13 mg/mL (for Xanthomonas oryzae and Xanthomonas campestris) when leaf extract was used in combination with streptomycin. Furthermore, MIC reduced from 1.56 mg/mL to 0.78 mg/mL (for Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger) when extract was used in combination with cycloheximide. Ethanol leaf extract of Kalanchoe pinnata (Syn Bryophyllum pinnatum) was most effective against selected plant pathogens. Also, effectiveness of extract was enhanced when used in combination with regular antimicrobial. Kalanchoe pinnata (Syn Bryophyllum pinnatum) may become useful as a biological control agent for plant disease pathogens

Published: March 2022

This work was aimed at evaluating the lethality effects of Bacillus thuringiensis isolated from different habitats against larvae of some species of mosquito. The isolated and identified microorganism from the different sampling sites were subjected to bioassay against different species of mosquito larvae at 0, 8.0 × 109, 1.6 × 1010, 3.2 × 1010, 6.4 × 1010, and 7.2 × 1010 cells/ ml. The result of the study revealed that B. thuringiensis isolated from compost manure had the highest bioactivity of 100% mortality against all the three species of mosquito larvae used in this work at the concentration of 3.2 × 1010 cells / ml while those isolated from garden soil, refuse, animal residue and dry leaf residue gave 100% mortality at 6.4 × 109 cells / ml against the three species of mosquito larvae with the exception of that isolated from animal residue which gave 95% mortality against aedes larvae at 6.4 × 1010 cells/mls. Analysis of variance at P < 0.05 revealed a significant difference in activity of B. thuringiensis isolated against mosquito larvae belonging to different species. This indicated that Bacillus thuringiensis had higher lethal activities against culex and anopheles larvae than aedes larva.

Published: March 2022

A renewal process which is a special type of a counting process, which counts the number of events that occur up to (and including) time has been investigated, in order to provide some insight into the performance measures in renewal process and sequence such as, the mean time between successive renewals, ; Laplace-Stiltjes transform (LST) of the mean time, ; the Laplace-Stieltjes transform (LST) of the mean time distribution function, ; Laplace-Stiltjes transform (LST) of fold convolution of distribution function, ; the time at which the renewal occurs, the average number of renewals per unit time over the interval (0, t], and expected reward, . Our quest is to analyse the distribution function of the renewal process and sequence using the concept of discrete time Markov chain to obtain the aforementioned performance measures. Some properties of the Erlang , exponential and geometric distributions are used with the help of some existing laws, theorems and formulas of Markov chain. We concluded our study through illustrative examples that, it is not possible for an infinite number of renewals to occur in a finite period of time; Also, the expected number of renewals increases linearly with time; and from the uniqueness property, we affirmed that, the Poisson process is the only renewal process with a linear mean-value function; and lastly, we obtained the optimal replacement policy for a manufacturing machine which showed that, the exponential property of the lifetime

Published: March 2022

The experimental trial was conducted to evaluate the response of different types of fertilizers on the growth of two groundnut varieties in Katsina a Sudan savannah. The experiment was conducted during the 2020 and 2021 rainy seasons at Samaru farm Mani LGA, Katsina State, Nigeria. Treatments consisted of two varieties of groundnut (SAMNUT 25 and SAMNUT 26) and four different types of fertilizer (zero fertilizer, organic manure, NPK 30:30:30 and poultry manure) replicated three times. The treatments were factorized and laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD). The result shows that groundnut growth components such as: the number of leaves per plant, leaf area index and days to 50% flowering per plot was significantly influenced by different types of fertilizer and SAMNUT 25 (P≤0.05) outperformed SAMNUT 26. Different types of fertilizer Applications also recorded a significant (P≤0.05) effect on growth parameters. However, the Application of poultry manure significantly (P≤0.05) outperformed better on the number of leaves and leaf area index at 3, 6 and 9 WAS but during the 2020 growing season at 6 WAS organic manure recorded the highest (105) number of leaves. The study revealed that the application of poultry manure on SAMNUT 25 proves to promote better growth of groundnut in the study area.

Introduction: A large number of babies are being delivered in our country prematurely. Renal function and glucose metabolism are not fully developed in these babies Resulting in disturbance of their homeostasis.
Objectives: This study was conducted to measure serum creatinine and serum glucose in term and preterm infants and compare their values to find out any significant difference. Methodology: This cross-sectional study included a total of hundred cases of neonates (term babies 50, preterm babies 50) who were admitted to the Paediatric inpatient department or delivered in the obstetrics department of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital during the period of July 2012 to December 2012. Data were collected from the parents who gave written informed consent. To test the Results, whether they were statistically significant or not, ‘z' test was applied.
Result: Among the total 100 neonates in the term group, the male-female ratio was 1:1.5, and in the preterm group, it was 1:1. In the preterm groups, 20 (20%) babies had a gestational age between 35-37 weeks, 15 (15%) babies had a gestational age between 32-34 weeks, and the rest 15 (15%) babies were in between 28-31 weeks. Here, man serum creatinine value in term babies was 0.89 ±0.16 mg/dl, whereas that in the preterm babies was 1.02±0.36. In the term babies, serum creatinine value > 0.9 mg/dl was in 36%, and in the preterm babies, it was in 48%. Values of serum creatinine were found higher in the preterm neonates, which was statistically significant (Z = 2.338, P < 0.05). This study also showed mean serum glucose level in the term babies 4.14±2 mmol/l and in the preterm 3.46 ±1.92. Hypoglycemia was found in 14% of term babies and 46% of preterm babies. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference between the means of the two groups (z test value 1.735 and p-value >0.05).
Conclusion: Raised serum creatinine is common in preterm babies. But, hypoglycemia may occur in both groups without any significant difference.
