The data analysis technique is structural equation modeling with the Amos 24 application. The results showed that the partial hypothesis test that innovative character had no significant effect on teacher performance either directly or indirectly, creative character and partial commitment had a significant effect on teacher performance either directly or indirectly. Teacher motivation has a significant effect on teacher performance. Simultaneously innovative, creative, and commitment characters have a positive and significant effect on teacher motivation. Innovative, creative character, commitment and motivation of teachers simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on teacher performance.","PeriodicalId":8497,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"127 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74689098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research is an R&D research using the ADDIE model which consists of the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. Some of the products produced are, learning model books; teacher's textbook; student textbooks; and lesson plan (RPP). This research was conducted on eighth grade students of Madrasah Tsanawiyah Muhammadiyah, Salaka, Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. There were 17 students involved in this study. In addition, other participants who were also involved were a teacher in the Akidah Akhlak subject and one observer. The selection of participants was carried out using a purposive sampling technique with the aim of selecting participants who were in accordance with the considerations related to the research objectives. Data collection was carried out using student and teacher response questionnaires; model implementation observation sheet; and a student diversity awareness questionnaire. The data obtained were analyzed quantitatively by calculating scores to determine the practicality and effectiveness of the religious moderation learning model. The results showed that the religious moderation learning model was proven to be practical and effective so that it was feasible to use. With these findings, it is hoped that the Akidah Akhlak subject teacher can explore in the learning process to improve awareness of student diversity.","PeriodicalId":8497,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83404062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The swell–shrink behavior of these soils could lead to instability of the structures found on them, specifically the light-weight structures and pavements. Expansive clay soil is encountered in most parts of Egypt. A comprehensive study was made in Sixth of October city to investigate the impact of lime sludge and bagasse ash as an industrial solid waste from sugar-cane factory and sodium chloride salt on geotechnical engineering properties of expansive soil. The macrostructural properties are quantified through laboratory testing for Free swell index, Plasticity index and infiltration tests. The microstructural aspects of the treated soil are observed through X-ray diffraction studies and SEM micrographs. The laboratory results showed that by increasing the lime sludge, Bagasse ash and NaCl concentrations the liquid limit decreased from 100% to 60% while the plastic limit increased from 100% to 90% respectively. In addition, the infiltration tests showed an increase in the infiltration rate from 10% to 80% when LS and Bagasse ash were added to the soil also the free swell decreased from 100% to 70 % sufficiently. XRD patterns showed the formation of new kaolin cementitious compound as the change of montmorillonite to kaolinite mineral took place due to the reaction of high amount of calcium ions produced from the stabilizer, the cation exchange took place between the calcium cation of the lime associated with the surfaces of the clay particles. The effect of cation exchange and attraction causes clay particles to became close to each other, this process is called flocculation which is accompanied by a series of pozzolanic reactions resulting in the formation of clay aggregates that are bound together by the new cementitious products such as calcium aluminate. Scanning Electron Microscopic images (SEM) and SEM micrographs determined the formation of organized dense clay matrices of aggregations that showed the reduction of Montmorillonite clay mineral peak intensities and an increase in kaolinite clay mineral peak intensities due to the change of expansive soil texture and reduction of interplanar spacing of the treated soil.","PeriodicalId":8497,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79209243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Parameters were observed for physical quality (pH and hygroscopicity) and sensory (color, taste, aroma, texture, acceptability). Physical quality data were analyzed using a Complete Randomized Design with a 4x5 factorial pattern. Mean differences were tested with Duncan's New Multiple Range Test. Sensory quality data was analyzed with Friedman's non-parametric analysis. Each treatment was in triplicate. The highest pH value for composite can is 6.43.

Thousands lose their lives to the different types of cancer each year. Cancer remains one of those invincible barriers in the health sector that humans are quite far from overcoming. As cancer remains to be incurable, works are being done every day globally to come up with better ways to treat it. Conventional methods of treatment like chemo and radio therapies have adverse effects on health and thus, new approaches are being used for cancer treatment. One such approach is the use of our body’s own defense mechanism to attack and kill malignant cells. This review will highlight the different components of human immune system that are being used to treat cancer. It will give an idea of the mechanism of action of each of these components and indicate why they are better choices compared to traditional treatments.
