Curriculum design of joint madrasah system in Islamic education in Singapore

To accept the increasing modernization and globalization wave, Majelis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS) which is responsible for Islamic education in Singapore, introduced the Joint Madrasah System (JMS) to assist madrasahs in improving teachers' skills, enhancing the curriculum, and optimizing the strengths of each madrasah holistically. The JMS system was implemented in three full-time madrasahs, namely Madrasah Irsyad Zuhri Al-Islamiah, Madrasah Aljunied Al-Islamiah, and Madrasah Al-Arabiah Al-Islamiah. This article aims to describe the curriculum design implemented in the Joint Madrasah Singapore. The research method used in this article is a qualitative method with a combined qualitative approach between library research and field research. Data and information were collected from one of the madrasahs appointed by MUIS as part of JMS, namely Madrasah Irsyad Zuhri Al-Islamiah, in the form of documents, archives, observations, and interviews. The type of research is descriptive qualitative, a form of research that aims to collect and compile data and try to analyze with interpretation or interpretation of these data. Furthermore, in analyzing the data, the author uses two methods, namely the content analysis method and the descriptive analysis method, especially educational analysis. The results show that the curriculum design applied in JMS is an integrative curriculum that eliminates the boundaries between various religious and scientific materials, and presents various subject matter in the form of units or wholes. This was a response from MUIS to improve the quality of the madrasa curriculum to be on par with the national curriculum. Abstrak          Untuk mengikuti arus modernisasi dan globalisasi yang begitu cepat, Majelis Ugama Islam Singapore sebagai penanggung jawab pendidikan Islam di Singapura memperkenalkan Joint Madrasah System (JMS) untuk membantu madrasah dalam meningkatkan kemampuan guru, meningkatkan kurikulum, dan mengoptimalkan kekuatan yang ada di setiap madrasah secara holistik. Sistem JMS ini diimplementasikan pada tiga madrasah sepenuh masa, yaitu Madrasah Irsyad Zuhri Al-Islamiah, Madrasah Aljunied Al-Islamiah dan Madrasah Al-Arabiah Al-Islamiah. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan desain kurikulum yang diterapkan dalam Joint Madrasah Singapore. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam artikel ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan kualitatif gabungan antara library research dan field research. Data dan informasi dikumpulkan dari salah satu madrasah yang ditunjuk oleh MUIS sebagai bagian dari JMS, yaitu Madrasah Irsyad Zuhri Al-Islamiah, berupa dokumen, arsip, observasi, dan wawancara. Jenis penelitiannya adalah deskriptif kualitatif, yaitu bentuk penelitian yang bertujuan mengumpulkan dan menyusun data serta mengusahakan dengan analisis secara interpretasi atau penafsiran terhadap data-data tersebut. Selanjutnya dalam menganalisa data, penulis menggunakan dua metode, yaitu metode analisis isi (content analisys) dan metode deskriptif analisis, khususnya analisis kependidikan. Hasilnya didapat bahwa desain kurikulum yang diterapkan dalam JMS adalah kurikulum integratif yang meniadakan batas-batas antara berbagai materi keilmuan agama dan sains, serta menyajikan berbagai bahan pelajaran dalam bentuk unit atau keseluruhan. Hal ini dilakukan sebagai respon MUIS untuk meningkatkan kualitas kurikulum madrasah agar setara dengan kurikulum nasional

Genetic Analysis of Triple Pistil Wheat Derived F2 Populations to Enhance Genetic Yield Potential

Triple pistil (TP) wheat is a novel genetic resource which holds the ability to produce three grains in a single floret. In this research, TP wheat derived two F2 populations were studied to investigate genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance, genetic correlation, inheritance pattern and potential of TP trait for grain yield improvement. Phenological data were recorded for 12 morpho-agronomic traits. Most of the traits exhibited significant genetic variability (P ? 0.05) for further trait improvement. Strong positive genetic correlations (r ? 0.99 at P ? 0.01) were computed within yield contributing and yield limiting traits, indicating common genes controlling these traits and opportunity for simultaneous improvement. Inheritance analysis indicated double dominant (15:1) and double recessive (9:7) epistatic ratios in investigated populations, proposing that TP trait was controlled by two nuclear epistatic genes. In conclusion, TP wheat is a valuable germplasm resource for grain yield improvement and floral development studies

Syndromes microdélétionnels (syndrome de Williams et syndrome de la délétion 22q11) au CHU Hassan II de Fès: à propos de 3 observations

Les syndromes microdélétionnels sont définis par la présence d’une anomalie chromosomique de taille mineure (inférieure à 5 mégabases) ou aneusomie segmentaire, décelable par cytogénétique moléculaire (FISH : Fluorescent in Situ Hybridization). Les syndromes microdélétionnels représentent des syndromes cliniques avec des phénotypes suffisamment caractéristiques pour être reconnus cliniquement. Actuellement la FISH est la technique de choix pour rechercher ces syndromes. Plusieurs syndromes microdélétionnels peuvent être confirmés aisément, les plus recherchés sont Le syndrome de Williams (microdélétion en 7q11.23) et le syndrome de la délétion 22q11 (microdélétion en 22q11.2). Le syndrome de Williams est caractérisé par une anomalie du développement qui associe un retard psycho-moteur, une dysmorphie du visage évocatrice et un profil cognitif et comportemental spécifique, une sténose aortique supravalvulaire -SASV- le plus souvent. Le Syndrome de la délétion 22q11 se caractérise par l’association de plusieurs malformations d’expression variable: une cardiopathie congénitale de type conotroncal, une dysmorphie faciale discrète mais caractéristique et une hypoplasie du thymus et des parathyroïdes. Nous rapportons nos premières observations au CHU Hassan II confirmées par FISH : Syndrome de la délétion 22q11 (n:2) et un syndrome de Williams. Le but de cet article est la mise à jour de nos connaissances sur ces deux syndromes et la mise en valeur du rôle de la cytogénétique moléculaire dans le diagnostic et le conseil génétique des syndromes microdélétionnels

Cold Water Immersion Enhanced Athletes’ Wellness and 10-m Short Sprint Performance 24-h After a Simulated Mixed Martial Arts Combat

Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of Cold Water Immersion (CWI) on the recovery of physical performance, hematological stress markers and perceived wellness (i.e., Hooper scores) following a simulated Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) competition.Methods: Participants completed two experimental sessions in a counter-balanced order (CWI or passive recovery for control condition: CON), after a simulated MMAs competition (3 × 5-min MMA rounds separated by 1-min of passive rest). During CWI, athletes were required to submerge their bodies, except the trunk, neck and head, in the seated position in a temperature-controlled bath (∼10°C) for 15-min. During CON, athletes were required to be in a seated position for 15-min in same room ambient temperature. Venous blood samples (creatine kinase, cortisol, and testosterone concentrations) were collected at rest (PRE-EX, i.e., before MMAs), immediately following MMAs (POST-EX), immediately following recovery (POST-R) and 24 h post MMAs (POST-24), whilst physical fitness (squat jump, countermovement-jump and 5- and 10-m sprints) and perceptual measures (well-being Hooper index: fatigue, stress, delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and sleep) were collected at PRE-EX, POST-R and POST-24, and at PRE-EX and POST-24, respectively.Results: The main results indicate that POST-R sprint (5- and 10-m) performances were ‘likely to very likely’ (d = 0.64 and 0.65) impaired by prior CWI. However, moderate improvements were in 10-m sprint performance were ‘likely’ evident at POST-24 after CWI compared with CON (d = 0.53). Additionally, the use of CWI ‘almost certainly’ resulted in a large overall improvement in Hooper scores (d = 1.93). Specifically, CWI ‘almost certainly’ resulted in improved sleep quality (d = 1.36), stress (d = 1.56) and perceived fatigue (d = 1.51), and ‘likely’ resulted in a moderate decrease in DOMS (d = 0.60).Conclusion: The use of CWI resulted in an enhanced recovery of 10-m sprint performance, as well as improved perceived wellness 24-h following simulated MMA competition

Mortality from gastrointestinal congenital anomalies at 264 hospitals in 74 low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries: a multicentre, international, prospective cohort study

Summary Background Congenital anomalies are the fifth leading cause of mortality in children younger than 5 years globally. Many gastrointestinal congenital anomalies are fatal without timely access to neonatal surgical care, but few studies have been done on these conditions in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We compared outcomes of the seven most common gastrointestinal congenital anomalies in low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries globally, and identified factors associated with mortality. Methods We did a multicentre, international prospective cohort study of patients younger than 16 years, presenting to hospital for the first time with oesophageal atresia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, intestinal atresia, gastroschisis, exomphalos, anorectal malformation, and Hirschsprung’s disease. Recruitment was of consecutive patients for a minimum of 1 month between October, 2018, and April, 2019. We collected data on patient demographics, clinical status, interventions, and outcomes using the REDCap platform. Patients were followed up for 30 days after primary intervention, or 30 days after admission if they did not receive an intervention. The primary outcome was all-cause, in-hospital mortality for all conditions combined and each condition individually, stratified by country income status. We did a complete case analysis. Findings We included 3849 patients with 3975 study conditions (560 with oesophageal atresia, 448 with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, 681 with intestinal atresia, 453 with gastroschisis, 325 with exomphalos, 991 with anorectal malformation, and 517 with Hirschsprung’s disease) from 264 hospitals (89 in high-income countries, 166 in middleincome countries, and nine in low-income countries) in 74 countries. Of the 3849 patients, 2231 (58·0%) were male. Median gestational age at birth was 38 weeks (IQR 36–39) and median bodyweight at presentation was 2·8 kg (2·3–3·3). Mortality among all patients was 37 (39·8%) of 93 in low-income countries, 583 (20·4%) of 2860 in middle-income countries, and 50 (5·6%) of 896 in high-income countries (p<0·0001 between all country income groups). Gastroschisis had the greatest difference in mortality between country income strata (nine [90·0%] of ten in lowincome countries, 97 [31·9%] of 304 in middle-income countries, and two [1·4%] of 139 in high-income countries; p≤0·0001 between all country income groups). Factors significantly associated with higher mortality for all patients combined included country income status (low-income vs high-income countries, risk ratio 2·78 [95% CI 1·88–4·11], p<0·0001; middle-income vs high-income countries, 2·11 [1·59–2·79], p<0·0001), sepsis at presentation (1·20 [1·04–1·40], p=0·016), higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score at primary intervention (ASA 4–5 vs ASA 1–2, 1·82 [1·40–2·35], p<0·0001; ASA 3 vs ASA 1–2, 1·58, [1·30–1·92], p<0·0001]), surgical safety checklist not used (1·39 [1·02–1·90], p=0·035), and ventilation or parenteral nutrition unavailable when needed (ventilation 1·96, [1·41–2·71], p=0·0001; parenteral nutrition 1·35, [1·05–1·74], p=0·018). Administration of parenteral nutrition (0·61, [0·47–0·79], p=0·0002) and use of a peripherally inserted central catheter (0·65 [0·50–0·86], p=0·0024) or percutaneous central line (0·69 [0·48–1·00], p=0·049) were associated with lower mortality. Interpretation Unacceptable differences in mortality exist for gastrointestinal congenital anomalies between lowincome, middle-income, and high-income countries. Improving access to quality neonatal surgical care in LMICs will be vital to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 of ending preventable deaths in neonates and children younger than 5 years by 2030
