Basically, education is the process of cultural inheritance from the former generation to the younger ones. One of the core values of character that must be instilled to the students is the value of honesty. Boarding school is a mean to instill honesty value for student. The purpose of this study was to find out how big the effort of MAN 3 Palembang in fostering the value of honesty for student through boarding school activities was. This research used descriptive qualitative approach. This research was conducted in MAN 3 Palembang. Data collection techniques used to obtain data in this study were observation, interviews, documentation. The result showed that the planting of honesty value in MAN 3 Palembang consists of several coaching activities (1) activity of faith building and piety to God Almighty, (1) enforcement of discipline. The coaching of the value honesty is implemented through several strategies and approaches as follows: (1) integration of honesty and ethics values in boarding school activities, (1) internalization of honesty values embedded by all students (3) training, (4) giving examples, (5) creating an atmosphere of character in the boarding school, and (6) the culture of honesty in the boarding school. The program implementation of the value honesty in accordance with the book order boarding. In addition, the value of honesty has appeared on the activities in the boarding school MAN 3 Palemban
La médecine personnalisée: enjeux éthiques Réflexion autour de l'information aux participants à la recherche en génétique
Suite à la découverte du génome, les patients peuvent bénéficier aujourd'hui, d'une approche préventive, prédictive, voire personnalisée de leur prise en charge.
Si la médecine personnalisée devient courante, la « généralisation» de l'information génétique nous amènera probablement à établir de nouveaux standards sociaux et éthiques, car si celle-ci permet une plus grande efficacité dans les soins en aidant à la prise de décision, elle apporte une connaissance inédite de l'homme en terme de risque et de susceptibilité face à la maladie, mais aussi des informations propres à l'individu pouvant mener à la discrimination. Sommes- nous prêts à gérer cette information ?
Dans ce travail, nous allons nous intéresser au traitement de l'information lors des tests génétiques en recherche. L'hypothèse de travail étant que l'information génétique est une nouvelle donnée biologique individuelle dont il faut tenir compte dans la prise en charge des participants à la recherche.
Pour entamer la réflexion, une revue de la littérature a permis de mettre en évidence les spécificités de la recherche en génétique. Dans un deuxième temps, nous avons effectué une analyse comparative des feuilles d'information et des formulaires de consentement destinés aux participants à dix-sept protocoles de recherches impliquant des tests génétiques au CHUV à Lausanne en Suisse. Cette analyse a permis de faire un état des lieux des pratiques actuelles dans la région et elle est le point de départ d'une mise en perspective des enjeux éthiques liés la question.
Les résultats montrent des inégalités entre les différentes feuilles d'information et formulaires de consentement de notre échantillon lausannois en ce qui concerne la restitution des résultats, la confidentialité des données ou encore la possibilité de participer à de futures recherches. Nous en concluons qu'il serait intéressant de travailler à une standardisation de ces documents et une éducation plus large à ce sujet
Progress towards Bell-type polarization experiment with thermal neutrons
Experimental tests of Bell-type inequalities distinguishing between quantum
mechanics and local realistic theories remain of considerable interest if
performed on massive particles, for which no conclusive result has yet been
obtained. Only two-particle experiments may specifically test the concept of
spatial nonlocality in quantum theory, whereas single-particle experiments may
generally test the concept of quantum noncontextuality. Here we have performed
the first Bell-type experiment with a beam of thermal-neutron pairs in the
singlet state of spin, as originally suggested by J. S. Bell. These
measurements confirm the quantum-theoretical predictions, in agreement with the
results of the well-known polarization experiments carried out on optical
photons years ago
Pelaksanaan Supervisi Akademik Pengawas Sekolah sebagai Upaya Peningkatan Profesionalisme Guru
Academic supervision is an activity planned to help teachers in the learning process in order to improve students' learning outcomes. This study aimed at investigating the supervision of school's supervisor in improving the professionalism of teachers and improve the quality of education at SMP Negeri 44 Palembang. The type of this research is qualitative and the data were obtained by observation, documentation and interview. The results of this study (1) supervision conducted by applying the official approach, partners, and kinship, and the techniques developed by supervisors in implementing academic supervision vary considerably; (2) supervisory obstacles in carrying out academic supervision is the number of teachers were too many, however it only had limited time; (3) the implementation of general academic supervision is good enough and able to carry out its duties and functions properly; (4) aspects that have been targeted by the supervision of school's supervisors are still limited, not all aspects of academic supervision; (5) the frequency of visits by school's supervisors in conducting academic supervision is considered lack because it is not evenly distributed; teachers receive class visits by supervisors; and (6) efforts made by supervisors in carrying out academic supervision at SMP Negeri 44 Palembang have not been optimal in providing guidance to teachers
Proxemia: análisis sociotécnico de una obra de arte electrónico
Aquest article proposa una anàlisi sociotècnica de l'obra d'art electrònic, Proxemia, realitzada per l'artista argentina Mariela Yeregui. Per a això, s'han seleccionat els aspectes del procés creatiu que reten compte amb més contundència de com aquest procés no es restringeix a la intenció original de l'artista, sinó que es reformula i s'expandeix d'acord amb els actors que intervenen en les diverses instàncies de mostra de l'obra.Per a això, s'analitzarà el recorregut de l'obra en dues de les galeries i les institucions en les quals es va muntar i exhibir. A partir d'aquí, és del nostre interès retre compte dels conflictes i les solucions que afecten la producció de l'obra en cada una d'aquestes instàncies. Atenent a la flexibilitat que adquireix la noció de problema en aquest procés, la seva construcció sociotècnica i les definicions de funcionament que els diversos actors construeixen entorn a l'obra.A partir del cas singular que planteja Proxemia, l'objectiu d'aquest article és analitzar com s'interposen, s'entrecreuen i es fan complexes en la producció d'art robòtic factors com ara la institucionalitat, les variables vinculades a polítiques de gestió, les representacions de l'escena artística, els encreuaments de sistemes de coneixement diferent i, fins i tot, les consideracions de la condició de local.En aquest sentit ens interessa discutir que les variables esmentades s'interposen en el procés creatiu no com a mers condicionants, marc o context, sinó que al contrari adquireixen una agència sobre l'experiència final de l'obra incidint en la modalitat en què aquesta configura una forma de veure el món.This article puts forward a sociotechnical analysis of the electronic artwork Proxemia, created by the Argentine artist Mariela Yeregui. In the course of this analysis, aspects of the creative process have been selected which highlight most significantly how this process is not restricted to the artist’s original intention, but rather that it reshapes and expands in line with the agents involved in the various instances on which the piece is shown. To this end, there will be an analysis of the artwork’s progression through two of the galleries and institutions at which it has been installed and exhibited. From that point, it is our intention to highlight the conflicts and solutions that have affected the piece in each of these instances. This will encompass the flexibility that the concept of problem acquires during this process, its sociotechnical construction and the operating definitions constructed by the various agents involved with respect to the work of art.Based on the unique case put forward by Proxemia, the objective of this article is to analyse how, in the production of robotic art, certain factors interfere, intertwine and complexify the process, such as institutionality, variables related to management policies, representations of the artistic scene, the crossover between different knowledge systems and even local considerations.In this respect, we aim to argue that the aforementioned variables interfere with the process not only merely as conditioning factors, or as a framework or context, but rather that, on the contrary, they acquire agency over the final experience of the artwork, influencing the mode in which the piece configures a way of seeing the world.En este artículo se propone un análisis sociotécnico de la obra de arte electrónico, Proxemia, realizada por la artista argentina Mariela Yeregui.

L'activité de butinage des Apoides sauvages (Hymenoptera Apoidea) sur les fleurs de maïs à Yaounde (Cameroon) et réflexions sur la pollinisation des graminées tropicales
The gatering activity of wild bees (Hymenoptera Apoidea) on flowers of maize at Yaound (Cameroon) and further considerations on pollination of the tropical Gramineae. At Nkolbisson (Yaounde, Cameroon), in May 1991, flowers of maize (Zea mays L; Poaceae) were observed for the study of pollen gathering by five different species of wild bees: one Apidae Meliponinae (Dactylurina staudingeri) and four Halictidae Nomiinae (Lipotriches andrei, Lipotriches langi, Lipotriches notabilis and Leuconomia granulata). Each of these Apoidea is well attracted by pollen of maize. The larger number of bees foraging at the same time on a panicle varies from one with Dactylurina staudingeri to four with Lipotriches andrei and Lipotriches notabilis. Generally, bees forage maize during the whole day and during the full flowering period but visits are more numerous in the morning and during the period of intense flowering. Median duration of a visit on a male spikelet varies from 1 sec with Dactylurina staudingeri to 7 sec with Lipotriches andrei. These Apoidea have an elaborated behaviour when gathering pollen of maize. Dactylurina staudingeri however seems less adapted to the floral morphology of Poaceae comparing with Lipotriches. When foraging maize, all these bees are regular visitors to flowers of this plant, even in the presence of other flower species in the vicinity of the crop. Bees studied have a positive impact on the yield of grains due to a complementary action with the well known one of the wind. The influence is indirect as the bees are seldom visiting the stigmates. The explanation is that when the bees are very common on the panicles they shake the anthers, inducing the release of pollen grains in the atmosphere even in the days without wind. The part of wild bees in the increase of yields is estimated to 3/ while the one of the domestic bees (Apis mellifera) is estimated to 21/ in that locality. The authors are reviewing existing literature on grass crop pollination and on Poaceae in general by various species of bees. For a better integrated crop management of maize in Cameroon, it is suggested to conserve the nesting sites of Lipotriches in surrounding areas of crops and to avoid unjustified use of pesticides during the flowering period
The KLOE-2 High Energy Tagger Detector
In order to fully reconstruct to the reaction e+e- to e+e- gamma-gamma in the
energy region of the phi meson production, new detectors along the DAFNE beam
line have to be installed in order to detect the scattered e+e-. The High
Energy Tagger (HET) detector measures the deviation of leptons from their main
orbit by determining their position and timing so to tag gamma-gamma physics
events and disentangle them from background. The HET detectors are placed at
the exit of the DAFNE dipole magnets, 11 m away from the IP, both on positron
and electron lines. The HET sensitive area is made up of a set of 28 plastic
scintillators. A dedicated DAQ electronics board based on a Xilinx Virtex-5
FPGA have been developed for this detector. It provides a MultiHit TDC with a
time resolution of the order of 500 ps and the possibility to acquire data any
2.5 ns, thus allowing to clearly identify the correct bunch crossing. First
results of the commissioning run are presented.Comment: Submitted to proceedings of the 12th Pisa Meeting on Advanced

Troponin T3 regulates nuclear localization of the calcium channel Cavβ1a subunit in skeletal muscle
The voltage-gated calcium channel (Cav) β1a subunit (Cavβ1a) plays an important role in excitation-contraction coupling (ECC), a process in the myoplasm that leads to muscle-force generation. Recently, we discovered that the Cavβ1a subunit travels to the nucleus of skeletal muscle cells where it helps to regulate gene transcription. To determine how it travels to the nucleus, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screening of the mouse fast skeletal muscle cDNA library and identified an interaction with troponin T3 (TnT3), which we subsequently confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation and co-localization assays in mouse skeletal muscle in vivo and in cultured C2C12 muscle cells. Interacting domains were mapped to the leucine zipper domain in TnT3 COOH-terminus (160-244 aa) and Cavβ1a NH2-terminus (1-99 aa), respectively. The double fluorescence assay in C2C12 cells co-expressing TnT3/DsRed and Cavβ1a/YFP shows that TnT3 facilitates Cavβ1a nuclear recruitment, suggesting that the two proteins play a heretofore unknown role during early muscle differentiation in addition to their classical role in ECC regulation.Fil: Zhang, Tan.

Further evidence of antibunching of two coherent beams of fermions
We describe an experiment confirming the evidence of the antibunching effect
on a beam of non interacting thermal neutrons. The comparison between the
results recorded with a high energy-resolution source of neutrons and those
recorded with a broad energy-resolution source enables us to clarify the role
played by the beam coherence in the occurrence of the antibunching effect.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
