PENGEMBANGAN KAPASITAS (CAPACITY BUILDING) KEPALA MADRASAH DALAM MENINGKATKAN MUTU PENDIDIKAN

One of important challenges about facing educational organizations in the advancement of technology and information is how to manage a quality on an ongoing basis. In the context of education, the notion of including encryption of inputs, processes, outputs, and outcomes of education. In order to create an educational system that has a diversity way to realize the purpose of education can be achieved by renewing the madrasah mission and strategy as well as implementing it. All of these are subject to the discovery of capacity building in all areas of good governance as well as sustainable. Capacity building should be implemented effectively and continuously on three levels, namely: 1) Individual level, for example: personal skills and requirements, knowledge, behavior, grouping of work and motivation of people's work in organizations. 2) The institutional level or the whole unity, for example: organizational structures, decision-making processes within organizations, procedures and work mechanisms, arrangements and infrastructure, links to organizations. 3) System levels, such as work-related regulators, basic policy and policies that support the achievement of a certain policy objectivity.Keywords: capacity building, education quality, organization

Fenomena Kawin Lari (Pofileigho) pada Masyarakat Muna di Kelurahan Tampo Kecamatan Napabalano Kabupaten Muna

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis alasan-alasan terjadinya kawin lari pada masyarakat Muna dan untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis proses penyelesaian kasus kawin lari pada masyarakat Muna. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Kelurahan Tampo Kecamatan Napabalano Kabupaten Muna dengan jumlah informan penelitian ini sebanyak 15 orang yang terdiri dari 10 orang pelaku kawin lari, 2 orang tua pelaku kawin lari, 2 orang tokoh adat, dan lurah Tampo. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah alasan terjadinya kawin lari adalah syarat dan pembiayaan yang tidak dapat dipenuhi(1) perempuan belum diizinkan berumah tangga(2) keluarga menolak lamaran laki-laki(3) laki-laki atau perempuan telah dijodohkan(4) dan perempuan telah hamil(5). Serta cara penyelesaian kasus kawin lari sama seperti pernikahan biasa tetapi tidak lagi menggunakan pemilihan jodoh dan pertunangan tapi langsung pada proses pelamaran

Nutrient uptake and benthic regeneration in Danube Delta Lakes

We investigated the nutrient uptake capacity of three lakes (Uzlina, Matita and Rosu) within the Danube Delta during high water level in June and low water level in September 1999. Special emphasis was placed on nutrient cycling at the sediment-water interface and on the self-purification capacity of the lakes in the Danube Delta. In order to estimate the nutrient uptake of selected lakes we present in this paper the results of water analyses, benthic flux chamber experiments and deck incubation experiments of 15N-labeled sediment cores at the inflow and the outlet of the lakes. The external input of dissolved inorganic nitrogen and silica into the lakes decreases with increasing distance to the main Danube branches whereas the total dissolved phosphorus input is independent of the hydrological distance to the main branches. The nutrient loading is highest in the inflow channels, and decreases towards the outflow of the lakes. In June, the uptake of NO3 −, TDP and Si(OH)4 in the lakes was higher than in September. In contrast, NH4 + uptake was more intense in September, when benthic release was more intense as well. On average, about 76% of the external plus internal nitrogen and phosphorus input into the lakes was taken up by macrophytes and phytoplankton during the growing season, whereas the uptake of external nutrient input amounted to about 43%. The benthic release of ammonia and silica increases from June to September and indicates, that part of the nutrients taken up during the growing season might be released during winter. We estimate the net impact of the Delta on the nutrient reduction of the Danube during the growing season is about 4.3%, assuming 10% of the Danube water is flowing through the Delt

Theoretical and Experimental Unsteady Aerodynamics Compared for a Linear Oscillating Cascade With a Supersonic Leading-Edge Locus

Experimental data were obtained to help validate analytical and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes used to compute unsteady cascade aerodynamics in a supersonicaxial- flow regime. Results from two analytical codes and one CFD code were compared with experimental data. One analytical code did not account for airfoil thickness or camber; another, using piston theory (piston code), accounted for thickness and camber upstream of the first shockwave/airfoil impingement locations. The Euler CFD code accounted fully for airfoil shape

Mice Lacking Full Length Adgrb1 (bai1) Exhibit Social Deficits, Increased Seizure Susceptibility, and Altered Brain Development

The adhesion G protein-coupled receptor BAI1/ADGRB1 plays an important role in suppressing angiogenesis, mediating phagocytosis, and acting as a brain tumor suppressor. BAI1 is also a critical regulator of dendritic spine and excitatory synapse development and interacts with several autism-relevant proteins. However, little is known about the relationship between altered BAI1 function and clinically relevant phenotypes. Therefore, we studied the effect of reduced expression of full length Bai1 on behavior, seizure susceptibility, and brain morphology in Adgrb1 mutant mice. We compared homozygous (Adgrb1−/−), heterozygous (Adgrb1+/−), and wild-type (WT) littermates using a battery of tests to assess social behavior, anxiety, repetitive behavior, locomotor function, and seizure susceptibility. We found that Adgrb1−/− mice showed significant social behavior deficits and increased vulnerability to seizures. Adgrb1−/− mice also showed delayed growth and reduced brain weight. Furthermore, reduced neuron density and increased apoptosis during brain development were observed in the hippocampus of Adgrb1−/− mice, while levels of astrogliosis and microgliosis were comparable to WT littermates. These results show that reduced levels of full length Bai1 is associated with a broader range of clinically relevant phenotypes than previously reported

The HST/ACS Coma Cluster Survey. II. Data Description and Source Catalogs

The Coma cluster was the target of a HST-ACS Treasury program designed for deep imaging in the F475W and F814W passbands. Although our survey was interrupted by the ACS instrument failure in 2007, the partially completed survey still covers ~50% of the core high-density region in Coma. Observations were performed for 25 fields that extend over a wide range of cluster-centric radii (~1.75 Mpc) with a total coverage area of 274 arcmin^2. The majority of the fields are located near the core region of Coma (19/25 pointings) with six additional fields in the south-west region of the cluster. In this paper we present reprocessed images and SExtractor source catalogs for our survey fields, including a detailed description of the methodology used for object detection and photometry, the subtraction of bright galaxies to measure faint underlying objects, and the use of simulations to assess the photometric accuracy and completeness of our catalogs. We also use simulations to perform aperture corrections for the SExtractor Kron magnitudes based only on the measured source flux and half-light radius. We have performed photometry for ~73,000 unique objects; one-half of our detections are brighter than the 10-sigma point-source detection limit at F814W=25.8 mag (AB). The slight majority of objects (60%) are unresolved or only marginally resolved by ACS. We estimate that Coma members are 5-10% of all source detections, which consist of a large population of unresolved objects (primarily GCs but also UCDs) and a wide variety of extended galaxies from a cD galaxy to dwarf LSB galaxies. The red sequence of Coma member galaxies has a constant slope and dispersion across 9 magnitudes (-21<M_F814W<-13). The initial data release for the HST-ACS Coma Treasury program was made available to the public in 2008 August. The images and catalogs described in this study relate to our second data release.Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJS.
