Unfolding the typology and quality of the learner agency practices in the teachers’ implementation of the 2013  curriculum in Indonesia: the normalisation process theory perspective

Burhanuddin,Arrafii, Mohammad Arsyad 서울대학교 교육연구소 2023 Asia Pacific Education Review Vol.24 No.4

Learner agency, or the ability to take control of one’s own learning and the learning of others, is a substantial goal of the curricular reform across the world. This can be seen in the implementation of the 2013 curriculum (K13) in Indonesia. However, there has been little evidence regarding the ways that Indonesian teachers have engaged with prescribed innovations. This interpretivist study examined the extent to which curricular innovations have been embedded in classrooms and how far they reveal the quality of their enactments, with particular interest in the identifcation of pedagogic practices that are associated with the promotion of learner agency. Using rich data from 15 individual semi-structured interviews and flmed classroom observations of three teachers, the study observed learner agency practices, including those associated with promoting peer and self-assessment, learning autonomy, and sharing learning objectives and assessment criteria. However, the implementation of these strategies varied in intensity and was rather artifcial, without a strong conceptual underpinning. Drawing on normalization process theory (NPT), this paper argues that the observed teachers’ engagement in the promotion of learner agency lacked coherence, cognitive participation, collective action, and evaluation. Reform planners and teachers should understand the nature of successful implementation and consider adopting a framework to analyze and guide their evaluation of how reform should be organized, implemented, and evaluated to ensure efective embedding.

This study aims to examine the effect of Operating Costs and Income, Loan to Deposit Ratio on the Return on Asset (ROA) of Public-Private Foreign Exchange Banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2015–2018 period. This study is a quantitative study using financial reports of Public-Private Foreign Exchange Banks listed on the IDX as a data source. This study’s population is 25 Public-Private Foreign Exchange Banks listed on the IDX. This study uses purposive sampling to determine the sample to produce 21 banking companies. Data was analyzed using multiple linear regression methods and descriptive statistics. The F Test calculation results state that all the variables of free operating expenses, operating income, and the loan to deposit ratio simultaneously and significantly affect the return on assets (ROA) variable in Public-Private Foreign Exchange Banks listed on the IDX. This study’s results indicate that simultaneously Operational Costs, Operational Income, and Loan to Deposit Ratio have a significant effect on ROA. Operational Costs and Operational Income have a significant negative impact on Return on Assets. The third hypothesis shows that the Loan to Deposit Ratio has a positive and insignificant effect on Return on Assets.

Shemmari, Noora Al,Shaikh, Rizwana Burhanuddin,Sreedharan, Jayadevan Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2015 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.16 No.2

Background: Dokha is a novel form of smoking in United Arab Emirates (UAE) on which there is very little published literature, especially among adolescents, and this form of smoking has been not been addressed adequately in the smoking cessation strategies in the UAE. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of dokha smoking among male secondary school students in Ajman UAE. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional survey was conducted among male secondary school students in Ajman, UAE. A total of 560 participants filled in self-administered questionnaires. Results: The prevalence of ever smokers was 39%; ever dokha smokers was 36% and current dokha smokers was 24%. The prevalence is very high when compared to other forms of smoking in the region and globally. Prevalence increased with increasing age and grade of students, prevalence of ever smokers, ever dokha smokers and current dokha smokers was lower in students in the science stream. 40% of the smokers used dokha, cigarettes and shisha, 30% used dokha and cigarettes, and 21% used dokha alone. 30% of the students smoked dokha on all days of the month. Conclusions: The prevalence of ever smokers, ever dokha smokers and current dokha smokers is very high. There is an urgent need for specific health promotion programs tailored to this age group on prevention of dokha smoking and policies restricting the availability of dokha to this age group.

Al-Sharbatti, Shatha Saed,Shaikh, Rizwana Burhanuddin,Mathew, Elsheba,Al-Biate, Mawahib Abd Salman Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2013 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.14 No.8

Breast cancer is the top cancer in women worldwide and its incidence is increasing, particularly in developing countries. In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), many cases are first diagnosed in later stages and at younger age compared to those seen in developed countries. Early detection in order to improve breast cancer outcome and survival remains the cornerstone of breast cancer control. Performance of breast self examination is one of the important steps for identifying breast disease at an early stage, by the woman herself. No information has hitherto been available about the frequency of this practice among female university students in UAE or about their breast cancer risk perception and therefore the present study was conducted in Ajman. It was found that 22.7% of the participants practiced BSE but only 3% of them practiced BSE monthly. Marital status but not age as significantly associated with age likelihood. The most frequent reported barriers for BSE were lack of knowledge, considering oneself not at risk and the absence of doctor advice. These factors need to be taken into account in intervention efforts.

AMORPHIZATION OF ZnO NANOWIRES BY PROTON BEAM IRRADIATION

CHANG FU DEE,ISHAQ AHMAD,LONG YAN,XINGTAI ZHOU,BURHANUDDIN YEOP MAJLIS 성균관대학교(자연과학캠퍼스) 성균나노과학기술원 2011 NANO Vol.6 No.3

We report the effects of 70 keV proton (H+) irradiation on the structure of zinc oxide nanowires (ZnO NWs) for a wide range of irradiation doses at room temperature. It was found that at low dose 5 × 1015 ions/cm2 of protons, few defects were created in ZnO NWs and the defects' density was increased with an increasing proton irradiation dose. After the irradiation dose was increased to 2 × 1017 ions/cm2, the crystal structure of the ZnO NWs was almost completely damaged and the crystalline wurtzite structure of the ZnO NWs could be transformed into a disordered amorphous structure. Structural changes in the ZnO NWs upon bombardment with 70 keV protons were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM).

Objective This study aims to examine the effect of giving probiotic adjuvant therapy on improving clinical symptoms & IL-6 levels in patients with schizophrenia.Methods This research was a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted at Dadi Psychiatric Hospital, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia in November–December 2021. The sample of the research was patients with schizophrenia undergoing hospitalization who received therapeutic doses of risperidone with a total of 21 samples in each treatment and control group. Research subjects were measured with Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) at baseline, 2nd, 4th, and 6th weeks. The treatment group received one capsule/12 hours/oral of probiotics for six weeks and the control group received 1 capsule/12 hours/oral placebo for 6 weeks. In addition, two measurements of IL-6 using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were performed in both groups, namely at the beginning of week 0 and the end of the 6th week.Results We found the decrease in the PANSS value which described the improvement in clinical symptoms of the schizophrenic group after receiving therapeutic doses of antipsychotics and probiotic capsules or the treatment group as well as the schizophrenia group receiving therapeutic doses of antipsychotics and placebo capsules or the control group.Conclusion Improvements in clinical symptoms and decreased levels of IL-6 in the group of patients with schizophrenia who received risperidone with probiotic adjuvant therapy were better than in the group of patients with schizophrenia who received risperidone without probiotics as adjuvant therapy.

Gallium nitride could exhibit strong piezoelectric properties which could be further developed for high frequency devices,telecommunication applications, and many more. In this study, we explored theoretically and experimentally the potentialSezawa guided mode in the groove structure along the GaN/Sapphire interface. Computational analysis with Finite ElementMethod demonstrates the presence three peaks of particular modes at specifics resonance frequencies and interestingly withhigh energy confinement inside the GaN. The experimental data of insertion loss peak graph extrapolated from s-parametermeasurement showed that the results of frequency response are correspond to three peaks of the particular modes hencevalidate the computational results. This finding is attributed to the locally resonant mechanism that confines the energy in theperiodic structure that prevents radiation of energy. This particular propagation can be exploited to enable the developmentof Sezawa-GaN platform to be operational in the liquid medium, for sensor and actuator applications.

In the present study, experiments have been conducted to measure the surface tension and heat capacity of aqueous mixtures of N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and ionic liquids (ILs) at atmospheric pressure. Two types of ILs, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF4] and 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium dicyanamide [bmim][DCA]) were used in these experiments. The surface tension was found to decrease with increasing temperature and ionic liquid concentration. Furthermore, the heat capacity of the mixtures increases with decreasing ionic-liquid concentration and increasing temperature. Linear equations were used to correlate the measured surface tension values, quadratic equations were applied to correlate the heat capacity at different compositions and temperatures.
