The Estimation of Students’ Scientific Work Assessment at Pekan Olahraga Riset Dan Ornamen Seni (Poros) Ii of Eastern Indonesia Islamic Universities 2021

The assessment of scientific works at Pekan Olahraga, Riset dan Ornamen (POROS) II Competition of Eastern Indonesia Islamic Universities 2021 in the field of Islamic education, Islamic Law, Ushuluddin, and Islamic economy involves three judges who assess some components such as the format of works, creativity, topic, data, sources, analysis, synthesis, and conclusion which possibly bring differences among the judges. In addition, the weight of each component is also different. The criteria in the scoring can affect the consistency of the judges. Therefore, it is essential to determine the judges' reliability coefficient of the assessment. This study is quantitative research because its primary data are the scores of the judges’ reviews. The reliability estimation of this study used the variants analysis approach and procedure based on the generalizability theory through the concept of G-Study with multifacet design. Based on the analysis, it was obtained that the reliability coefficient of the combined score of participants’ assessment, especially in the field of Islamic education, was 0.90920, which means that the assessment instrument used in the scientific works of POROS II Competition 2021 in Islamic education was reliable in determining the best results

Effectiveness of Non-Governmental Organizations in Rural Development in Chitral District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan

The present study has been focusing towards determining the effectiveness of the NGOs in making a difference in the development of Pakistan rural areas particularly considering Chitral province from the community approach. This research intended to examine how NGOs in Chitral apply community approach for the rural development of Chitral particularly by focusing on Ayun and Yarkhun Union Councils. The present research used a case study research design and ethnographic qualitative approach by focusing on the directly observable material items to notice the entire education, health and gender equality in Chitral after the entry of NGOs. In order to collect appropriate data, three key tools were selected, including observations, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), and In-depth Interviews (IDI). Purposive sampling method was used to select a total of 152 informants from the two councils of Chitral, Ayun, and Yarkhun for data collection where 64 informants from each council were selected for FGDs and 12 for IDIs. The number of the sample was subject to saturation point. The snow ball sampling was used to reach out the various informants in the study. The data were analyzed using open coding method and thematic analysis. The results of the study have indicated that the NGOs (particularly AKRSP and SRSP functioning in Ayun and Yarkhun Councils of Chitral, respectively) are primarily applying community approach by focusing on different factors. For instance, the major ways or activities followed to implement community approach within the identified regions are involving local people and staff members in every activity and/or even in decision-making process to know about their needs. NGOs in Chitral have been trying to make education compulsory for both genders, besides improving health awareness and facilities in the hospitals, and promoting gender equality through effective actions, including campaigns and workshops. The research further explored that the activities iv adopted by NGOs in these councils assessed by the communities were found to perform effectively in informing people regarding the importance of high education, improved health and gender empowerment without which the rural development (high standard of living) is not possible. The study depicted that the entry of NGOs in Chitral has been accepted through implementing projects, which are influential in making significant contributions to bring positive changes to the communities. Thus, these organisations are suggested to take some rational actions to aware people through cost-benefit analysis who are less interested in participating the rural development. The research had indicated that for the issues encountered in the case of community approach, awareness and understanding should be increased for rural development in a more holistic way. On the contrary, the contemplated study further showed some research limitations, such as lack of mixed method. Thus, it is recommended for future researchers to employ a mixed method on a similar study

Probing the Role of Asn 152 in the Class C β-lactamase AmpC

AmpC, a class C β-lactamase, is a main cause of antibiotic resistance to cephalosporins in many species of bacteria. The current proposed mechanism of action involves an acyl-intermediate, where the enzyme becomes covalently attached to the drug at serine-64, before an activated water hydrolyzes the bond and regenerates the enzyme. Although this mechanism is generally accepted, the exact roles that the other active site residues play in recognition and breakdown of the substrate are not fully understood. Here, we investigate the role of the active site residue asparagine-152 (Asn152) in E. coli AmpC by mutating it to a glycine, serine, or threonine residue and examining the effect that these mutations have on kinetic and structural properties, when acting upon three different β-lactam drugs: cefotaxime, cefoxitin, and oxacillin. We found that the mutations cause 50 to 200 times higher kcat values against cefotaxime and also allow the enzyme to break down oxacillin, which is not hydrolyzed at a detectable rate by wild type AmpC. We obtained the crystal structure of wild type AmpC and AmpC N152G bound to cefotaxime and found a rotation of glutamine-120 and lysine-67 to be the only significant differences in the active site residues as well as a slight conformational change in the drug itself. Uncovering the specific role of Asn152 in the function of AmpC in conjunction with work done to understand the roles of other active site residues will be useful in the development of inhibitors to these enzymes that may help combat antibiotic resistance
