DEVELOPMENT OF BASIC COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENTS ASSESSING STUDENTS IN ISLAMIC CULTURAL HISTORY (SKI) IN MIN 1 PASURUAN

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Efforts to create effectiveness in learning continue to be carried out in the form of widespread innovations in the emerging education sector, this is done in order to create maximum knowledge transfer to students. Because learning in students is dominated by communication elements that read, listen and write, another competency that also affects the learning process is listening competence. So it needs to be considered in developing competencies that must be mastered by these students. To maximize student competence in the listening aspect, suitable tools are needed. This article describes the development of the basic competency assessment instrument for listening to the SKI subjects at MIN 1 Pasuruan. The research method used is to use research & development in the ADDIE version. The results of the study concluded that 1. The assessment instrument can be used as a reference for teachers in collecting information and data to provide students with basic competence in listening. 2. Listening skills assessment techniques for MIN 1 Pasuruan, including: performance, portfolio and gifts. As for the assessment of the basic development assessment instrument listening to students on the SKI subject at MIN 1 Pasuruan, including the stages including: (1) analysis (analysis), (2) design (design), (4) development (Develop), (5) implementation ( Implement), and (6) evaluation (Evaluate)
A Framework for the Transmission of Multimedia Traffic using HM and RS Coding over Nakagami-M Channels

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Hierarchical modulation (HM) provides different levels of error performance for the high and low priority bits modulated. This differentiation can be aligned to various classes of multimedia traffic demanding different levels of error rate performance. In a previous cross-layer design scheme, which combined conventional modulation at physical layer with RS coding at the application layer, an unequal error protection mechanism was used at the application layer for guaranteeing quality of service for various classes of multimedia traffic. Instead of using only a single layer, in this paper we present a more flexible two layer cross-layer design framework for unequal error protection, combining RS coding at the application layer with HM at the physical layer. Furthermore, in order to improve error performance of the system, a signal space diversity (SSD) scheme is also incorporated into the physical layer of the framework. Without consuming additional transmit power and bandwidth, the use of the SSD HM in the cross-layer design system resulted in significant gains when compared to the non-SSD, standard HM system. It is shown that the cross-layer design system with SSD HM has a 10dB gain over the non-SSD HM system in a Nakagami m=1 channel with a frame error rate target of 10−4.
Metropolitanus Campus

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

It may not be unsuitable to the purpose of this Journal to depart for once from the strictly scientific method, and describe shortly the problem of a ‘Lost Phrygian City,’ as it presents itself to the explorer both in its relation to ancient literature and in its actual modern features. I take the example of a city which played no part in ancient history, which is mentioned only twice or thrice incidentally in classical literature, where no known event took place and no person known to fame was born, which, in short, is about as insignificant as a city could well be, and I hope to show that the discovery even of such a little city may have interest and value for classical scholars. The passage in which Livy describes the march of the consul Manlius on his piratical raid through Asia Minor is one of peculiar interest on many grounds, apart from its value for students of geography. There is no passage in the whole of Livy which is more obviously translated from a Greek original: it is therefore of great importance in the question of his relation to his authorities and of his trustworthiness in using them. Beyond the mere resolution of the true scholar to understand his author, there is the further incentive to study this particular passage that the author's historical character is to some extent dependent on it. Now the third recorded stage beyond Sagalassos in Manlius's march is the Metropolitanus Campus. Where in wide Phrygia was the Metropolitanus Campus?
The dime novel in children's literature

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Frequently identified as sensational literature filled with violent characters, intricately woven plots, changing identities and confusion between issues of right and wrong, many considered the Dime Novel guilty of sending serious and improper messages to the day's impressionable youth. Though read by many from the middle of the nineteenth century to the early twentieth century, these short, pocket-sized publications were severely criticized. This work looks at the authors, publishers, illustrators, and subject matter of the dime novel. Other types of children's literature, such as story papers, chapbooks, broadsides, serial books, pulp magazines, comic books and today's paperback books are discussed, as well. The author explores the ways in which these works reveal much about early American life and thought and how they reflect cultural nationalism through their ideological teachings in personal morality and ethics, humanitarian reform and political thought; a study of the dime novel's contribution to the genre of children's literature is thus provided.
Contamination of bobby calves with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli during transport and lairage

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

- Trucks and lairage represent sources of a wide variety of STEC (incl. Top7 serogroups), and contrasting virulence/genotypes.\n- Bacterial WGS provides enhanced resolution for tracking isolates.\n- The same STEC variant can be isolated from multiple sites (truck).\n- Some sites appear more prone to STEC contamination (lairage ramp).\n- No evidence in this study of STEC contamination of calves by truck/lairage variants.\n- The construction of calf transporters and lairage yards render thorough cleaning extremely difficult.
An Abstract Domain to Infer Types over Zones

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract. Spreadsheet languages are very commonly used, by large user bases, yet they are error prone. However, many semantic issues and errors could be avoided by enforcing a stricter type discipline. As declaring and specifying type information would represent a prohibitive amount of work for users, we propose an abstract interpretation based static analysis for spreadsheet programs that infers type constraints over zones of spread-sheets, viewed as two-dimensional arrays. Our abstract domain consists in a cardinal power from a numerical abstraction describing zones in a spreadsheet to an abstraction of cell values, including type properties. We formalize this abstract domain and its operators (transfer functions, join, widening and reduction) as well as a static analysis for a simpli-values and present an implementation of our analysis. 1
Soil-Applied Imidacloprid Translocates to Ornamental Flowers and Reduces Survival of Adult Coleomegilla maculata, Harmonia axyridis, and Hippodamia convergens Lady Beetles, and Larval Danaus plexippus and Vanessa cardui Butterflies

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a decision making process used to manage pests that relies on many tactics, including cultural and biological control, which are practices that conserve beneficial insects and mites, and when needed, the use of conventional insecticides. However, systemic, soil-applied neonicotinoid insecticides are translocated to pollen and nectar of flowers, often for months, and may reduce survival of flower-feeding beneficial insects. Imidacloprid seed-treated crops (0.05 mg AI (active ingredient) /canola seed and 1.2 mg AI/corn seed) translocate less than 10 ppb to pollen and nectar. However, higher rates of soil-applied imidacloprid are used in nurseries and urban landscapes, such as 300 mg AI/10 L (3 gallon) pot and 69 g AI applied to the soil under a 61 (24 in) cm diam. tree. Translocation of imidacloprid from soil (300 mg AI) to flowers of Asclepias curassavica resulted in 6,030 ppb in 1X and 10,400 ppb in 2X treatments, which are similar to imidacloprid residues found in another plant species we studied. A second imidacloprid soil application 7 months later resulted in 21,000 ppb in 1X and 45,000 ppb in 2X treatments. Consequently, greenhouse/nursery use of imidacloprid applied to flowering plants can result in 793 to 1,368 times higher concentration compared to an imidacloprid seed treatment (7.6 ppb pollen in seed- treated canola), where most research has focused. These higher imidacloprid levels caused significant mortality in both 1X and 2X treatments in 3 lady beetle species, Coleomegilla maculata, Harmonia axyridis, and Hippodamia convergens, but not a fourth species, Coccinella septempunctata. Adult survival were not reduced for monarch, Danaus plexippus and painted lady, Vanessa cardui, butterflies, but larval survival was significantly reduced. The use of the neonicotinoid imidacloprid at greenhouse/nursery rates reduced survival of beneficial insects feeding on pollen and nectar and is incompatible with the principles of IPM.
Forecasting Implementation, Adoption, and Evaluation Challenges for an Electronic Game–Based Antimicrobial Stewardship Intervention: Co-Design Workshop With Multidisciplinary Stakeholders (Preprint)

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND

Serious games have been proposed to address the lack of engagement and sustainability traditionally affecting interventions aiming to improve optimal antibiotic use among hospital prescribers.

OBJECTIVE

The goal of the research was to forecast gaps in implementation, adoption and evaluation of game-based interventions, and co-design solutions with antimicrobial clinicians and digital and behavioral researchers.

METHODS

A co-development workshop with clinicians and academics in serious games, antimicrobials, and behavioral sciences was organized to open the International Summit on Serious Health Games in London, United Kingdom, in March 2018. The workshop was announced on social media and online platforms. Attendees were asked to work in small groups provided with a laptop/tablet and the latest version of the game On call: Antibiotics. A workshop leader guided open group discussions around implementation, adoption, and evaluation threats and potential solutions. Workshop summary notes were collated by an observer.

RESULTS

There were 29 participants attending the workshop. Anticipated challenges to resolve reflected implementation threats such as an inadequate organizational arrangement to scale and sustain the use of the game, requiring sufficient technical and educational support and a streamlined feedback mechanism that made best use of data arriving from the game. Adoption threats included collective perceptions that a game would be a ludic rather than professional tool and demanding efforts to integrate all available educational solutions so none are seen as inferior. Evaluation threats included the need to combine game metrics with organizational indicators such as antibiotic use, which may be difficult to enable.

CONCLUSIONS

As with other technology-based interventions, deploying game-based solutions requires careful planning on how to engage and support clinicians in their use and how best to integrate the game and game outputs onto existing workflows. The ludic characteristics of the game may foster perceptions of unprofessionalism among gamers, which would need buffering from the organization.
English Compounds and their Spelling

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Anyone writing texts in English is constantly faced with the unavoidable question whether to use open spelling (drinking fountain), hyphenation (far-off) or solid spelling (airport) for individual compounds. While some compounds commonly occur with alternative spellings, others show a very clear bias for one form. This book tests over 60 hypotheses and explores the patterns underlying the spelling of English compounds from a variety of perspectives. Based on a sample of 600 biconstituent compounds with identical spelling in all reference works in which they occur (200 each with open, hyphenated and solid spelling), this empirical study analyses large amounts of data from corpora and dictionaries and concludes that the spelling of English compounds is not chaotic but actually correlates with a large number of statistically significant variables. An easily applicable decision tree is derived from the data and an innovative multi-dimensional prototype model is suggested to account for the results.
Electrical Responses of Pineal Cells to Thyroid Hormones and Parathormone

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

The effects of microelectrophoretic application of thyroxin, thyrocalcitonin and parathormone on pineal cells of urethane anesthetized guinea pigs were evaluated. A total of 162 cells were tested with thyroxin, 122 of these units also being subjected to the microelectrophoresis of the indolamine melatonin. 68 cells were excited by the administration of thyroxin, 63 were inhibited while the remaining cells did not respond. 79% of the cells tested with both thyroxin and melatonin responded in a similar way to two substances. The responses to thyroxin varied significantly depending on whether the cells were tested during the day or at night. 104 pineal cells were tested with thyrocalcitonin, 20 U exhibiting an increased firing frequency, 58 showing an inhibitory response and the remaining 26 being unresponsive. Parathormone was applied to 64 pineal cells. Of the 43 cells responding to the hormone, 29 were excited and 14 showed decreased activity. In general, these results suggest that pineal cells may be subject to feedback control by the hormones of the thyroid and parathyroid glands.
Mucilage attachment to seeds provides evidence of a novel link between cellulose and pectin

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In certain plant species, including Arabidopsis, seed coat epidermal cells accumulate a large quantity of polysaccharides that are released as mucilage upon imbibition. Once released, Arabidopsis seed coat mucilage appears as two distinct layers, the outer non-adherent composed of unsubstitutedrhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I), and the inner adherent one mainly made of RG-I and cellulose. CELLULOSE SYNTHASE5 and MUCILAGE-MODIFIED (MUM)5 have both been shown to be required for anchoring the mucilage pectin to the seed coat surface [1-5]. The identity and molecular role of MUM5 remained to be determined. A comparison of sequentially extracted seed mucilage components from cesa5 and mum5 mutants was carried out. Both mutants showed a redistribution of mucilage pectin from the inner adherent layer to the outer soluble one. cesa5 further showed a clear reduction in cellulose content, whereas mum5 had a wild-type cellulose content, but had reduced Xyl contents in the outer mucilage layer. Accordingly, MUM5 was identified as a putative xylosyltransferase. Biochemical and in vitro binding assay data demonstrated that xylan chains are attached to RG-I chains and mediate the adsorption of mucilage to cellulose microfibrils. The importance of having both a correctly synthesized cellulose scaffold and pectin structure will be discussed with regard to mucilage partitioning into non-adherent and adherent layers.
Mixed-sex civil partnerships: developing a morality of love

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Civil partnerships were extended to mixed-sex couples in England and Wales at the end of 2019, shortly followed by Northern Ireland (2020) and Scotland (2021). Since then, thousands of mixed-sex couples have entered a civil partnership. While civil partnerships were favoured by politicians as an alternative to legal rights for cohabitants, we know little about why mixed-sex couples would choose a civil partnership. In 2020–21 we interviewed individuals and couples who had entered or were planning a mixed-sex civil partnership (MSCP) to explore this further. We find that MSCPs are constructed in opposition to the ‘traditional’ image of marriage/weddings and yet symbolic elements including dress, form and structure are necessarily relied on in constructing something new, via a process of bricolage. Moreover, through civil partnership motivation talk, mixed-sex couples are constructing an individual morality that is centred on resisting cultural norms, advocating equality and justice, and pragmatic love.
Microthrombocytosis and Platelet Fragmentation Associated with Idiopathic/Autoimmune Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

S ummary . Platelet volume distribution curves were obtained in 20 control subjects and in 21 patients with idiopathic/autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura. A striking increase in microthrombocytes as well as megathrombocytes was noted in 86% of patients on one or more occasions, particularly in the presence of severe thrombocytopenia. The entire spectrum of platelet volume distribution curves noted in patients could be reproduced experimentally in rabbits following intravenous injection of anti‐platelet antibody. Differential centrifugation studies with control subjects revealed that microthrombocytes were light platelets and megathrombocytes were heavy platelets. Electron microscopy in patients with thrombocytopenia revealed that microthrombocytes were composed of intact small platelets as well as platelet fragments. It is concluded that severe peripheral destruction of platelets is associated with an increase in microthrombocytes as well as megathrombocytes.
Viewpoints in complex event processing

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In the automation industry an increasing need for integration exists, spanning from field level to enterprise resource planning. An important requirement is the adaptability of the involved production processes, because industry must be able to react quickly to new situations and challenges. Complex Event Processing (CEP) is a promising technology to detect and react to such situations. However, current approaches for CEP often mix the derivation of high-level business events with their interpretation and follow a bottom - up development that is not focused on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Consequently, maintainability and the required adaptability are hard to achieve.
A central role for microtubules in the differentiation of Drosophila oocytes

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT Drosophila oocytes develop within cysts containing 16 cells that are interconnected by cytoplasmic bridges. Although the cysts are syncytial, the 16 cells differentiate to form a single oocyte and 15 nurse cells, and several mRNAs that are synthesized in the nurse cells accumulate specifically in the oocyte. To gain insight into the mechanisms that generate the cytoplasmic asymmetry within these cysts, we have examined cytoskeletal organization during oocyte differentiation. Shortly after formation of the 16 cell cysts, a prominent microtubule organizing center (MTOC) is established within the syncytial cytoplasm, and at the time the oocyte is determined, a single microtubule cytoskeleton connects the oocyte with the remaining 15 cells of each cyst. Recessive mutations at the Bicaudal-D (Bic-D) and egalitarian (egl) loci, which block oocyte differentiation, disrupt formation and maintenance of this polarized microtubule cytoskeleton. Microtubule assembly-inhibitors phenocopy these mutations, and prevent oocyte-specific accumulation of oskar, cyclin B and 65F mRNAs. We propose that formation of the polarized microtubule cytoskeleton is required for oocyte differentiation, and that this structure mediates the asymmetric accumulation of mRNAs within the syncytial cysts.
Utility of the SEER-Medicare data to identify medical androgen deprivation therapy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

6113 Background: Researchers are increasingly using SEER-Medicare data to measure the use of various cancer therapies. However, the validity and completeness of Medicare data as a source of information for identifying medical androgen deprivation has not been established. In this study, we compared the classification of ADT use based on SEER-Medicare linked data and medical record review. Methods: Among patients who were included in the Prostate Cancer Outcomes Study (PCOS) aged 65 or older and have Medicare part A and B coverage as their primary health insurance, their use of medical androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) identified from the SEER-Medicare data was compared with the results of medical record review. The linkage of the datasets was accomplished by using encrypted IDs. Two algorithms were evaluated. Algorithm A defines ADT use liberally, if at least one of the following HCPCS codes is present: J1950, J9202, J9217, J9218, or J9219. Algorithm B, developed by the authors to identify consistent androgen deprivation, defines ADT only if there is evidence of treatment lasting for 3 months or longer, indicated by either the 12-month treatment J9219 or at least 3 months of treatment with J9202 or J9217. Results: For the 673 patients eligible for this validation study, algorithm A has a sensitivity of 92.5% and a specificity of 85.2% in identifying medical ADT compared to medical record review (see table ), while algorithm B has a sensitivity of 81.8% and a specificity of 88.9% ( Table 1 ). When the study was further restricted to patients with Medicare insurance only (N=142), both algorithms improved: 96.2% sensitivity and 85.6% specificity for algorithm A, and 88.5% sensitivity and 91.1% specificity for algorithm B. Conclusions: Both algorithms have reasonable sensitivity and specificity. Medicare claims can be used to track ADT use for the treatment of prostate cancer in the Medicare population.
