Management Through The Implementation of Multicultural Culture In Islamic Boarding Schools

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Education, especially Islamic education, with a pluralist-multicultural paradigm, urgently needs to be immediately designed in the learning process. The world of semi-Islamic boarding schools or dormitories is undoubtedly no stranger to its positive and negative sides. It is often heard that the hostel is an arena for fading a sense of nationalism in the souls of the younger generation. The application of multicultural culture can be used as a method for solving problems in the souls of the younger generation. This study aimed to identify and describe the concept of character management by applying multicultural culture to male boarding schools at Madrasah Tsanawiyah 1 Probolinggo. The method used in this study uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The research results show that the concept of multicultural culture application in this institution is carried out using; a peace workshop, students' mukim design, multicultural learning and assessment. Multicultural culture can provide students with an understanding of the existing differences, but even though we are different, we can still unite to achieve a goal. The implications obtained through character management by applying multicultural culture to students can foster a sense of nationalism which is shown by caring, helping, being polite to friends and teachers and respecting each other regardless of caste or social status, through character management by applying multicultural culture in this institution become a place to instil a spirit of nationalism to unite the existing diversity. This research is a form of novelty that is unique from previous research because this study analyzes character management which involves multicultural culture.
Portable tunable interband cascade laser spectrometer using thin-film waveguides for food contaminant analysis

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Interband cascade lasers (ICL) are high output power mid-infrared light sources with low power consumption, serving as a viable alternative to more commonly applied quantum cascade lasers. The integration of ICLs with thin-film waveguides facilitates miniaturized sensing platforms based on the principles of evanescent field absorption toward tailorable high-fidelity portable mid-infrared (MIR) sensing solutions for on-site chemical analysis. The analytical performance of a MIR sensing system is presented combining a tunable interband cascade laser emitting at a wavelength range of 5.88–6.09 µm (1702–1641 cm−1) with a 6 µm GaAs/AlGaAs thin-film waveguide as the active transducer for customized evanescent field absorption analysis of food contaminants. A comparison of the analytical performance of the developed tICL-based system vs conventional Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy is presented for the exemplary analysis of the Fusarium mycotoxin deoxynivalenol, a persistent food contaminant resulting from fungal infection. The thin-film waveguide enhances the sensitivity compared to conventional attenuated total reflection systems, revealing improved detection limits. The compact design of the system, along with the favorable analytical figures-of-merit and automated data processing, confirm the potential of the developed tICL-based spectrometer for on-site detection of food contaminants at various stages along the food supply chain.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Positive Psychology & VR in Special Education

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

In the era of rapid change, special education is in the quest to ‘drive up standards’ with alternative intervention strategies ensuring optimal outcomes for parents, teachers and learners. Automatic thoughts, negative beliefs and implicit bias demotivate, disrupt students’ behavior, and lower the quality of learning outcomes. Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a psychological approach that employs appropriate techniques to help individuals deal with their dysfunctional schemas. The present paper aims at reviewing the research studies regarding the effectiveness of neurolinguistic programming (NLP) in challenging situations as those that people with disabilities face. In addition, we will co-examine the possible applications of NLP on virtual reality (VR) environments. The findings of this review support the idea that neuro-linguistic programming provides influencing strategies for students with special educational needs to be rapidly engaged in those states of mind that eliminate implicit bias and promote positive behaviors and academic achievement. It was found that VR is in line with NLP methodology contributing to unintended bias reduction, cultivating users’ ability to change perspective with flexibility, expecting a positive future and perceiving themselves more realistically with less symptoms of depression. This study takes the view of a new pedagogy in Special Education that integrates the overlapping areas of neurolinguistic programming, positive and social psychology and recognizes their role in developing brain rewiring and sub-conscious training techniques -even in virtual environments-.
Higher survival drives the success of nitrogen‐fixing trees through succession in Costa Rican rainforests

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Summary Trees capable of symbiotic nitrogen (N) fixation (‘N fixers’) are abundant in many tropical forests. In temperate forests, it is well known that N fixers specialize in early‐successional niches, but in tropical forests, successional trends of N‐fixing species are poorly understood. We used a long‐term census study (1997–2013) of regenerating lowland wet tropical forests in Costa Rica to document successional patterns of N fixers vs non‐fixers, and used an individual‐based model to determine the demographic drivers of these trends. N fixers increased in relative basal area during succession. In the youngest forests, N fixers grew 2.5 times faster, recruited at a similar rate and were 15 times less likely to die as non‐fixers. As succession proceeded, the growth and survival disparities decreased, whereas N fixer recruitment decreased relative to non‐fixers. According to our individual‐based model, high survival was the dominant driver of the increase in basal area of N fixers. Our data suggest that N fixers are successful throughout secondary succession in tropical rainforests of north‐east Costa Rica, and that attempts to understand this success should focus on tree survival.
Discovery of curcumin heterocyclics containing sulphonamides for carbonic anhydrase inhibition and molecular docking studies

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Curcumin is a multi-functional pharmacologically safe natural agent with proven cytoprotective effects to healthy human cells. In this study, a new series of 22 sulfonamides with curcumin scaffold were synthesized, characterized and investigated for their carbonic anhydrase isoenzyme I (human) and II (bovine) isoforms. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were described by IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectral data. Curcumin-isoxazole conjugated sulfonamide showed the Ki value of 0.99 µM with highest inhibitory activity among all other synthesized compounds against hCA-I enzyme. Similarly enzyme kinetic studies of compounds like curcumin-isoxazole, curcumin-pyrazole, and curcumin-pyrimidine conjugated sulfonamide against bCAII enzyme showed Ki values of 0.71, 0.67 and 0.71 µM respectively. Our biological assays results showed that most of active compounds have similar inhibitory activities compared to standard acetazolamide drug. The molecular docking predicted binding modes showed that these compounds bind with hCA-1 enzyme in similar fashion.
Theory of planned behavior in consumer behavior research: A systematic literature review

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Abstract This study aimed to systematically review and categorize studies on consumer behavior based on theory of planned behavior (TPB), its core constructs, or extensions, and to provide directions for future research agenda. Scopus and the Web of Science were consulted for studies based on TPB, its parts, or extensions. The inclusion criteria were studies published in peer‐reviewed journals, in English, and within the past decade (i.e., between 2012 and 2021). Graphical methods were used to visually display research findings. For the purpose of literature clustering, MAXQDA 2020 software was employed. In total, 118 scientific, peer‐reviewed sources were included in the review. Two categories, five clusters, and seven subclusters emerged from the literature set. The results revealed a significant research tendency toward exploring consumer green behavior and consumer purchase intention of food products. The least‐explored research themes were focused on consumer intention toward and purchase behavior of clothing, green vehicles, and green personal care products. The review confirmed the growing prevalence of TPB in consumer behavior research aimed at exploring factors preceding behavior.
Walks in Luxembourg: researching forced migrants’ multilingual language practices

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Luxembourg has a long-standing tradition of multilingualism: according to the 1984 language law, Luxembourgish, German and French are all acknowledged as languages of administration. This rich linguistic environment is further complexified by the languages and language varieties of the large international community – composed of 160 different nationalities – that resides in Luxembourg City. Hence, other languages such as English, Portuguese or Italian might be equally important for navigating local life. Most members of the local society move fluidly back and forth between a multitude of languages, often within a single speech event. Luxembourg’s multilingualism is not territory-based; it is reflected in different patterns of language use that are intertwined with competing social positions and collective identities (Horner, 2015). This contribution presents data from an ongoing doctoral research project that follows the language learning trajectory of five asylum applicants in Luxembourg. The project follows a linguistic ethnographic approach (Copland & Creese, 2015), which is well suited to reveal the participants’ attitudes towards different languages, practices and (linguistic) identities. Based on participant observation, interviewing and go-alongs (Kusenbach, 2003), the present contribution examines how research participants draw on their linguistic resources as they move across different sites in their daily trajectories. Their language practices are analysed as in situ responses to specific situations/settings in Luxembourg’s multilingual environment. Our findings suggest that in their daily interactions, the research participants use both their old and newly-acquired language resources, without too much regard to the boundaries between them. This confirms the asylum applicants’ positive attitude towards Luxembourg’s languages and their wish to incorporate a wide range of local resources into their communicative repertoires (Kalocsányiová, 2017). By the same token, the participants’ multilingual practices are indicative of new complex forms of linguistic identification.
Identifying fundamental mechanisms underlying apical branching morphogenesis in a model fungus Aspergillus nidulans.

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

Aspergillus nidulans is a filamentous fungus that for over 60 years has served as a robust model for studies of gene regulation and cell biology in complex eukaryotes. The most conspicuous feature of this species is the formation of hyphal branches through either lateral or apical branching to enable efficient colonization of its niche. Hyphal branching in filamentous fungi is regulated through a wide range of signaling pathways including extracellular and intracellular mechanisms. Notably, the role of protein kinases (PKs) in controlling apical branching morphogenesis remains an open question. Here, I have identified presumptive signaling pathways involved in hyphal branching by performing a bioinformatics screen for A. nidulans homologues of the human genes involved in neuronal migration, morphogenesis and branching (Chapter 2). I then employed two different assays to systematically investigate the roles of 100 PKs in apical branching (Chapters 2 and 3). My approach includes use of a quantitative microscopy assay (QMA) coupled with statistical analysis, which enabled me to identify PKs involved in regulation of apical branching morphogenesis in A. nidulans. Identifying PKs involved in mediating apical branching will encourage and support further investigations to characterize the main regulatory pathways implicated in branching morphogenesis in filamentous fungi.
Efficient Environment Design for Multi-Robot Navigation via Continuous Control

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Multi-robot navigation and path planning in continuous state and action spaces with uncertain environments remains an open challenge. Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) is one of the most popular paradigms for solving this task, but its real-world application has been limited due to sample inefficiency and long training periods. Moreover, the existing works using RL for multi-robot navigation lack formal guarantees while designing the environment. In this paper, we introduce an efficient and highly customizable environment for continuous-control multi-robot navigation, where the robots must visit a set of regions of interest (ROIs) by following the shortest paths. The task is formally modeled as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). We describe the multi-robot navigation task as an optimization problem and relate it to finding an optimal policy for the MDP. We crafted several variations of the environment and measured the performance using both gradient and non-gradient based RL methods: A2C, PPO, TRPO, TQC, CrossQ and ARS. To show real-world applicability, we deployed our environment to a 3-D agricultural field with uncertainties using the CoppeliaSim robot simulator and measured the robustness by running inference on the learned models. We believe our work will guide the researchers on how to develop MDP-based environments that are applicable to real-world systems and solve them using the existing state-of-the-art RL methods with limited resources and within reasonable time periods.
TinyRNG: A Cryptographic Random Number Generator for Wireless Sensors Network Nodes

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Wireless sensors network (WSN) security is a major concern and many new protocols are being designed. Most of these protocols rely on cryptography, and therefore, require a cryptographic pseudo-random number generator (CPRNG). However, designing an efficient and secure CPRNG for wireless sensor networks is not trivial since most of the common source of randomness used by standard CPRNGs are not present on a wireless sensor node. We present TinyRNG, a CPRNG for wireless sensor nodes. Our generator uses the received bit errors as one of the sources of randomness. We show that transmission bit errors on a wireless sensor network are a very good source of randomness. We demonstrate that these errors are randomly distributed and uncorrelated from one sensor to another. Furthermore, we show that these errors are difficult to observe and manipulate by an attacker.
Pneumonia caused by Moraxella catarrhalis in haematopoietic stem cell transplant patients. Report of two cases and review of the literature

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Moraxella catarrhalis is a gram negative diplococcus that causes a variety of upper and lower respiratory tract infections. Patients with malignant, hematological disorders treated with intensive cytotoxic chemotherapy, and recipients of various forms of haematopoietic stem cell transplant receiving immunosuppressive agents are at high risk of developing severe infections and septic complications. Early detection of the organism and prompt treatment with appropriate antibiotics provide both resolution of the infection and prevention of further consequences. Two patients with haematopoietic stem cell transplant who developed pneumonia caused by M. catarrhalis at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Riyadh are reported and the literature is reviewed. To our knowledge, these are the first case reports of M. catarrhalis pneumonia in haematopoietic stem cell transplant patients.
Montgomery tracheal t-tube stenting as a single first-line treatment in postintubation laryngotracheal stenosis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The aim was to evaluate the use of Montgomery tracheal T-tube stenting as a single first-line treatment for postintubation laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS), addressing the outcomes, its main complications, and how to manage them. From March 2012 to April 2017, 25 patients with postintubation LTS had contraindication(s) for laryngotracheal surgery and were treated by Montgomery tracheal T-tube stenting as a single first-line treatment. The preoperative, operative, and postoperative follow-up data were collected retrospectively and analyzed. Successful outcome was reported in 16 (64%) patients, whereas seven (28%) patients had recurrent stridor after T-tube removal. It was reinserted in two of them, and the rest were subjected to other surgical procedures. Mortality was reported in two patients. Complications of different nature, severity, and durations were reported, and most of them were detected and managed successfully by applying close follow-up protocols. Montgomery tracheal T-tube stenting is a very valuable modality in the treatment of LTS as a single first-line treatment when surgical option is contraindicated. It has a relatively low incidence of treatable complications; however, false sense of security must be avoided to ensure good outcome.

Data mining techniques for CRM

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The way in which companies interact with their customers has changed dramatically over the past few years. A customer's containing business is no longer guaranteed. As a result, companies have found that they need to understand their customers better, and to quickly respond to their wants and needs. In addition, the time frame in which these responses need to be made has been shrinking. It is no longer possible to wait until the signs of customer dissatisfaction are obvious before action must be taken. To succeed, companies must be proactive and anticipate what a customer desires. In this paper we are going to discuss the Data Mining techniques used in Customer Relationship Management.
Source routing bridge implementation (LANs)

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Source routing is a bridging technique where the bridge makes a routing decision based on the contents of the media access control (MAC) frame header of the frame. This header consists of a routing information field, which immediately follows the source address field in the frame. The routing information field describes the path across one or more bridges to the ring containing the destination station. With source routing bridges, the source and destination addresses of the frame on the media are the MAC addresses of the originating and target stations, respectively. The operation of a source routing bridge is examined. An implementation example using the TMS380 token-ring-adapter chipset is presented.< >
