Key performance indicators in elite beach soccer
No full textThis chapter initially provides an overview of key performance indicators in elite beach soccer that have been
established in the literature. A total of 20 tactical and technical indicators were then identified to be employed in the
present study. The significant indicators were then identified through principal component analysis with varimax
rotation. It was demonstrated from the study that the following performance indicators, i.e. shot at front third,
chances created, goals scored at the first period, goals scored at the second period, goals scored at the third period,
goals scored at extra time, shot at back third, pass at back third, interception, turnover, complete save by the keeper,
uncomplete save by the keeper, shot inside a box as well as shot outside box are non-trivial in evaluating the
performance of a given team. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2020
Prevalence of obesity among school children aged between 13 to 15 years at Kecamatan Johan Pahlawan, Kabupaten, Aceh Barat
No full textBackground: Obesity has reached epidemic levels in developed as well as in developing countries among
children and adolescent population. It is known to have a significant impact on both physical and psychological
health. However, there is limited published data on the prevalence of obesity among adolescent in each district of
Indonesia. Aim & Objective: Thus, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of obesity among adolescent
at Kecamatan Johan Pahlawan, Kabupaten Aceh Barat. Methods: Data collection for socio-demographic
characteristics of subjects was conducted by using a questionnaire. Meanwhile, anthropometry data including
weight and height were measured using calibrated tools. Body Mass Index (BMI)-for-age z-score was calculated
to classify BMI-for-age category of subjects according to gender. The population taken in this study was n=317
subjects. Results: This study found that the overall prevalence of obesity was 18.3%. Overall, 54.6% of subjects
had normal weight while overweight accounted for 24.9% of the subjects involved. Only 2.2% of subjects were
categorized as underweight. Conclusion: The current study finding showed that the prevalence of obesity among
adolescents in Aceh has doubled and much higher as compared to the national prevalence by country and district.
Therefore, appropriate action is to be taken to impart community education as well as enriching and reinforcing
individual awareness and skills to prevent and manage obesity
Cytotoxic and Morphological Effects of Chrysanthemum Indicum Aqueous Extracts of Bud and Flower on Human Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) HL-60 Cell Lines in vitro.
No full textChrysanthemum indicum (C.indicum) plants, also known as “bunga kekwa” in Malaysia has long history used
in Chinese traditional herbal medicines, with anti-oxidants, anti‑inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. This
study was to determine the anti-cancer activity of buds and flowers of C.indicum in aqueous extracts on human
acute promyelocytic leukaemia cancer HL-60 cell lines. The powder of bud and flower were macerated in the
sterile distilled water for 24 hr. The bud aqueous (BA) and flower aqueous (FA) extracts were concentrated
under reduced pressure using rotary evaporator. The cells were treated at 12.5 µg/ml, 25 µg/ml, 50 µg/ml, 100
µg/ml, 200 µg/ml and 400 µg/ml and incubated for 24, 48 and 72 hr. The cellular morphology of HL-60 cells
was observed by phase contrast microscopy while the cytotoxic activity was determined using MTT assay. BA
and FA extracts showed significant reduction of HL-60 cell viability at 100, 200 and 400 µg/ml in all incubation
period. Both extract also showed low cytotoxic activity against HL-60 cells (p <0.05) with IC50 value of 305
µg/ml and 320 µg/ml respectively at 24 hr, 310 µg/ml and 205 µg/ml respectively at 48 hr and 180 µg/ml and
170 µg/ml respectively at 72 hr. Even though BA and FA aqueous extracts were unable to kill the HL-60 cell
lines effectively, the results still show some promising effect for C.indicum plant in treatment of blood cancer

traditional things and add many advantages to many systems and
environment and improve the level of services provided to many
users, whether in the field of smart health care or smart homes or
smart energy etc.In this paper, we will introduce the concept of the
Internet of Things, its applications and components for a broader
understanding of (I oT) and try to enable and support the Internet
of Things and develop applications that support and improve the
efficiency of services and other functions. And the importance of
integrating Internet of Things with artificial intelligence and
machine learning to assist in the analysis and processing of the
enormous data collected by wireless sensors from all fields in
order to provide sufficient information and help solve many
problems such as the problem of energy consumption and the

Money Earning as a Responsibility in the Quran and Sunnah
No full textSome novice researches who have not gone deeply into the Islamic knowledge
claimed that Islamic religious texts such as the Quran and the Sunnah preach
laziness and relying on others. This paper attempts to examine earning money

industrial and commercial. It was also found that anyone who is the head of a
family is accountable for earning money. Moreover, the study revealed that it is

Governance issues in Malaysia limited liability partnerships (LLP)
No full textLimited liability partnerships (LLP) are a new hybrid business vehicle in
Malaysia that are governed under the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2012. The main
uniqueness of LLPs is that they can be set up not only by business partners, but any two
or more individuals - from family members, professionals, and other legal entity such as
the Federal Teritory of Labuan or even the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM). This
paper dliberates the corporate governance models from the other countries that are
pertinent to the current practices for LLPs. In comparison with other countries such as
United Kingdom, India and Singapore, the Malaysian LLP has similar attributes as a
body corporate, offering internal flexibility similar to a partnership, but regulated by the
members’ or partnership agreement. Despite being a body corporate, LLPs face the
inappropriteness of direct applications of corporate governance principles, as profound
systems to control and manage LLPs within the accontability of its partners and
stakeholders. Thus, this paper highlights the major governance issues for the LLPs in
Malaysia: inclusive jurisdictions or legal issues and other aspects
The Influence of Sharia Compliance, Risk Perception and Service Quality on the Trust and Loyalty of Islamic Rural Bank Customers in Indonesia
No full textThis study investigates the effect of Sharia compliance, risk
perceptions, and service quality on the trust and loyalty of customers
of the Islamic Rural Bank Customers. The sample consisted of 100
customers from four Islamic Rural Banks in Indonesia. The analysis
was carried out with a factor based structural equation model. It was
found that Sharia compliance, risk perception and service quality
significantly influences customer trust and Sharia compliance and risk
perception affects customer loyalty. Service quality has no significant
effect on customer loyalty. These findings suggest that Sharia
compliance with risk perception and service quality are important
determinants of the trust and loyalty of Islamic Rural Bank customers
How to create a system ecological theory of the environment in revolution 4.0 era?
No full textThe ecological theory of the environment plays an important role in the development
and characterization of an individual's character. This theory will show the process of
development that develops between the individual and the environment. The character of an
individual will shape from the influence of the surrounding environment such as family,
friends, school, teachers, workplace and so on. This paper will discuss the integration of
environmental ecological theory into aspects of Islamic and western thought in the face of the
revolutionary 4.0 era. The ecological theory of the environment will be based on
Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory as well as Ibn Khaldun's ecological theory. Research on
three aspects of the activity, role model, and practice will be detailed. This method of study
uses documentary analysis based on Ibn Khaldun's book of scripture and Bronfenbrenner's
writings. As a result of this study, it is found that these three aspects are in line with human
needs. Therefore, this study is seen as contributing to the theory and can serve as a new
reference and concept to society. Implications of this study apply the theory of the environment
not only in education but in all fields
