Problems of Islamic Education in Public Senior High Schools in Kendari City
This study focused on a discussion of the problems in Islamic religious education in public senior high schools in Kendari City. This was descriptive qualitative research that used in-depth interview techniques, observations and documentation analysis to collect the data. This study found that the problems in Islamic education included those related to: 1) students; 2) the learning environment; 3) teacher competency; 4) method; and 5) evaluation.

Identifying Experimental Tool Use Through Confocal Microscopy
Characterizing use-wear traces quantitatively is a valid way to improve the capacity of use-wear analysis. This aim has been on specialists’ agenda since the beginning of the discipline. Micropolish quantification is especially important, as this type of trace allows the identification of worked materials. During the last decade, confocal microscopy has been used as a promising approach to address this question. Following previous efforts in plant microwear characterization (Ibáñez et al. Journal of Archaeological Science, 48, 96–103, 2014; Journal of Archaeological Science, 73, 62–81, 2016), here we test the capacity of the method for correctly grouping experimental tools used for working eight types of materials: bone, antler, wood, fresh hide, dry hide, wild cereals, domestic cereals, and reeds. We demonstrate, for the first time, that quantitative texture analysis of use-wear micropolish based on confocal microscopy can consistently identify tools used for working different contact materials. In this way, we are able to move toward using texture analysis as part of the standard functional analysis of prehistoric instruments.This study is part of the projects HAR2016-74999-P, HAR2015-68566-P, and HAR2016-81971-REDT funded by the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades.Peer reviewe
