Model for Improving the Commitment to Implementation of the Educational Quality Assurance Policy
Get PDFQuality assurance of education is one of the national policies that must be implemented in all schools in Indonesia. The school principal has three main tasks, namely managerial, supervisory, and entrepreneurial development which is guided by the National Education Standards as the basis for the education quality assurance policy. The education quality assurance policy has not been implemented properly so that public primary school report cards still show low scores, and this is due to the low commitment of school principals to implementing education quality assurance policies. Commitment to implementing education quality assurance policies is significantly influenced directly by organizational culture, interpersonal communication, achievement motivation, and job satisfaction. Organizational culture and interpersonal communication also have an indirect effect through achievement motivation and job satisfaction. Increased commitment for implementing quality assurance policies can be done by improving organizational culture, interpersonal communication, achievement motivation and job satisfaction
Formulation and In-vitro Characterization of Metformin Hydrochloride-loaded Liposomes
Get PDFThe aim of study. is to formulate Metformin hydrochloride-loaded novel liposomal vesicles and investigate their physical stability. A new metformin hydrochloride (Met-HCL) liposomal formulation was prepared for topical delivery. Traditionally, the biguanide metformin could be categorized the first line in treatment of diabetes. The prepared metformin hydrochloride-loaded liposomal vesicles were investigated for different in vitro characterisations. Eleven different formulations were developed adopting a thin film hydration method using different molar concentrations of Phospholipon® 90G, cholesterol and metformin hydrochloride. The effect of varying concentrations of Phospholipon® 90G, cholesterol and metformin hydrochloride on entrapment efficiency percent, ex-vivo skin permeation percentage, vesicle size and zeta potential was studied. Metformin-loaded liposome stability over a period of time 90 days was investigated. Results. The optimized metformin hydrochloride liposomes, F2, F6 and F11 were selecte. The selected formulations displayed highly efficient permeation percent via the excised mice skin 53±0.09 %, 30±0.4 % and 40±0.02 % respectively. The formulations showed EE % of 80±0.09 %, 28.6±0.02 % and 71.8±0.4 % respectively. Morphology of F2 liposomal surface revealed spherical three-dimensional structure. The stability study revealed about 10-23 percent drug leaching out of the vesicular liposomes (F2) within 90 days. Conclusion. Metformin hydrochloride-loaded liposomal vesicles can provide a potentially promising and convenient approach for topical delivery

Imperatives of Visual and Auditory Perception and their Interpersonal Functions as Discourse Markers in Albanian Conversations
Get PDFThis paper looks at interpersonal functions of visual and auditory perception imperatives in authentic conversations in Albanian language. Although they belong to the inventory of discourse markers that have received due attention in English scholarship, its equivalents in Albanian, shiko/d?gjo, have remained largely understudied in the context of spoken interaction. Therefore, the existing research on look/listen may serve as a basic framework for contrastive analyses of interpersonal functions of its functional counterparts in other languages. The sample analysis performed through AntConc is discussed within the scope of two theories, that of Speech Acts and that of Politeness and it confirms that the imperatives for visual and auditory perception play a major part in the realization of the illocutionary force of the speech act itself. The main hypothesis underlying our investigation is that the analyzed markers appear in initial syntactic positions in Face-Threatening Acts (FTA) with the core function of signaling the aim of the illocutionary force of the speech act within which they appear, but also with other functions such as boosting or hedging the illocutionary force. To prove the hypothesis we conduct an analysis using data collected from authentic telephone conversations in Albanian whereby determining face threatening speech acts (speech acts considered as threatening the negative and positive face of the hearer (addressee)). By discovering interpersonal functions of these widely-used discourse markers in Albanian we can enrich our understanding in conversational pragmatics and observe closely how new developments in communication are inciting changes in the way we interact
Religion In Israeli-American Relations and Its Geopolitical Impacts
Get PDFThe United States was the first country to recognize Israel as a state in 1948, and the first to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in 2017. These positions demonstrate the unbreakable bond between the two countries. This long-standing alliance can be seen in their historical background where religion is highly valued. Americans and Israelis are united by their shared values and their commitment to the widespread of democracy, prosperity, and mutual security. Religion in Israel’s support has also been a long-standing cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy. While religiosity and partisanship do play a part in how Americans view each side in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this unfair posture has increased strained relations between Israel and its neighbors in the one hand, and in the other, the United States and the Arab world
Political Changes in Albania 1989-1992
Get PDFThe period of the fall of the communist regime and the emergence of political pluralism is one of the most important periods of recent national history. Although this is a short period, it is packed with many important events of a political, economic and cultural nature.For more than four decades, respectively since the Second World War in Albania has ruled the Albanian Labor Party. This regime is known as one of the wildest regimes in Europe and the world. Based on the Marxist-Leninist Doctrine this regime and its suite led by dictator Enver Hoxha had good diplomatic relations in the beginning with Tito\u27s former Yugoslavia until 1948, with which he severed diplomatic relations by declaring that “Yugoslav revisionists were neither for peace nor for socialism. They were linked to the imperialists and helped to overthrow the communist regimes in the countries bordering Yugoslavia.” The Soviet Union until 1960, then seceded from the USSR and approached China that lasted until 1978, when it severed ties with China that led to the formula of self-isolation untill 1991. Afterwards Albania would be the most isolated country in the world and would fanatically defend Marxism-Leninism and Stalinism that had been denounced by Khrushchev and Soviet Union. The communist regime in Albania will lead a strange and incomprehensible foreign policy. After the severance of Albania\u27s relations with the socialist bloc, the communist ruling clique did not see the way to wake up and reconsider the issue of Albania\u27s foreign policy in order to be oriented toward the west which would open new perspectives in the development of the Albanian society. During the 80s the economic situation in Albania will become unbearable and after all the efforts made by the Albanian Labour Party to save the regime will not succeed and when the situation came to boiling point it erupted in December 1990. The situation was followed by much unrest until the pluralist political system emerged and the victory of the Democratic Party in March 1992 came to power

Assessment of Noise Pollution Exposure to Elementary Students: A Case in Argao, Cebu, Philippines
Get PDFA learning environment greatly influences students\u27 learning outcomes. Children are strongly affected by noise because it negatively impacts learning at a critical developmental stage. The assessed schools are located near the national highway, exposing children to noise levels higher than the World Health Organization\u27s recommended level of 35 decibels. Previous research evaluates the students\u27 exposure to noise and its effects but cannot elaborate on their perception of this exposure. The instruments used were a questionnaire to determine student\u27s perceptions and a Sound Level Meter (SL-4010) to measure noise levels in specific locations. Significant relationships and significant differences between variables were analyzed with the use of SPSS v16.0. The primary cause of possible noise-related effects on students\u27 well-being and attentiveness in class was identified via Pareto Analysis as transportation and classmates and the noise level. The noise level is highest between 8 am and 12 pm. However, the students perceived that their noise level exposure is only Somewhat impactful even though the lowest Leqmin, 36.6 decibels (dB), surpasses recommended level by the WHO. Statistical methods were also used to determine that students\u27 demographics do not significantly affect their perceptions. There is also no significant difference between noise level perception and noise level measurement
