This study aims to describe Sufistic-based Kiai leadership's role in shaping Santri character at the Pesantren Nurul Jadid Paiton Probolinggo. This research is a case study qualitative approach, with Kiai as the subject. We collected data using interview, documentation, and observation techniques, then analyzed using reduction techniques, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the Sufistic-based Kiai's leadership had an essential role in fostering the character of the Santri. The study results indicate that the Sufistic-based Kiai leadership has a vital role in promoting the surface of the Santri. Kiai is a person who gives influence in building character with Uswah (Modelling). This study also found that the factors that influence low morale are that Santri has a common understanding of the latest technological developments. In Sufistic-based leadership, there are four things that a leader must possess: 1) The Tawasuth, 2) The nature of I'tidal, 3) The Tawazun, and 4) The Tasamuh.

Current research in psychology and psychophysiology focuses on the subject of anticipation and forecasting. Anticipatory sustainability is a personal trait that determines the ability to anticipate events and possible ways of personal development, as well as the ability to prevent interpersonal conflicts. The aim of the study was to identify the role of development level of anticipatory competence of coaches in their professional competence evaluation and perception by athletes. Research methods and organization. The research involved two groups of test subjects. The experimental group consisted of sport dance coaches and their students. The control group brought together experts in socionomic area with different work experience. We used testing and questionnaire methods to achieve the goal and objectives of the study. Testing method included the test for diagnosing anticipatory sustainability according to A. Mendelevich and the test of socio-perceptual coaching evaluation by athletes. We used the results of testing and questionnaires to provide a comparative and correlation analysis of data. Research results. The analysis of test results revealed the impact of work experience on the development of both spatial and temporal characteristics of the anticipation of coaches, indicating a possible effect on the intensity and direction of development of those characteristics in specific conditions. We have identified valid connections between the gnostic parameter (professional competence evaluation) of the socio-perceptual coaching evaluation by athletes and spatiotemporal characteristics of coaches' anticipation, defined as professionally important qualities of coaches. Moreover, we have demonstrated a weak direct relationship between the personality-situational component of the anticipatory sustainability of coaches and the emotional parameter of their socio-perceptual evaluation by athletes, indicating a significant role of communicative-anticipation sustainability in the development of an attitude of athletes to the coach. Conclusion. In summary, we can conclude that the anticipatory sustainability of coaches plays a key role in the structure of their competence, and the development of this property is possible under certain conditions.

This research is motivated by the lack of understanding of students' mathematical concepts in mathematics which is caused by a lack of motivation to learn in students and the lack of material connection with everyday life. Mathematics learning really needs to be learned by students because Mathematics has an important purpose to meet practical needs related to the development of students' abilities to use mathematics in everyday life, such as counting which is often experienced by students and can develop the ability to calculate weight. and content. Although Mathematics is considered important to learn, not a few students feel that Mathematics is difficult to master, so it is considered boring and makes students' interest in learning in Mathematics considered low. Based on the PISA annual study survey, the Indonesian Mathematics competency has decreased from 386 points in 2015 to 379 points in 2018 with an OECD average of 489. The benefits of studying Mathematics are used to make transactions in trade. One way to make mathematics more understandable is to use the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach so that students can learn more realistically. The purpose of this study was to determine the increase in students' understanding of mathematical concepts using the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach and whether there were changes that occurred after the treatment using this approach. This research was conducted with quantitative research methods and the research design of One Groups Pretest-Posttest Design. The subject of this research is class IV with a total of 28 students at SDN Curugrendeng II. The instrument used is a written test with a total of 10 questions. Calculation of data processing using Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and using IBM SPSS Statistics 22 with a significance level of 0.05. The results of this study indicate that there is an increase in students' understanding of mathematical concepts with an average value of 0.691 which is included in the medium category. Thus, the understanding of mathematical concepts of students using the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach changes from before the action to the final score after the action. done.

Развитие генетики оказывает все большее влияние на современную медицину. На основе достижений в области структурной, функциональной геномики и эпигенетики сформировались новые наиболее перспективные направления - таргетная терапия, персонализированная и регенеративная медицина. Появились принципиально новые возможности для диагностики, прогнозирования, профилактики и лечения широкого спектра заболеваний. Все возрастающая роль генетики предъявляет принципиально иные требования к ее преподаванию в медицинских ВУЗах с использованием новых педагогических методик. Простого увеличения количества часов в рамках предмета «Биология» уже недостаточно для подготовки специалистов, чья профессиональная деятельность напрямую связана с генетикой: онкологов, вирусологов, иммунологов и многих других. The development of genetics has an increasing influence on modern medicine. Based on the achievements in the field of structural, functional genomics and epigenetics, new most promising directions have been formed - targeted therapy, personalized and regenerative medicine. There are fundamentally new opportunities for the diagnosis, prediction, prevention and treatment of a wide range of diseases. The increasing role of genetics imposes fundamentally different requirements for its teaching in medical Schools using new pedagogical methods. Simply increasing the number of academic hours in the subject “Biology” is no longer enough to train specialists whose professional activities are directly related to genetics: oncologists, virologists, immunologists, and many others.

The role of technical standards (TS) has become increasingly important for engineering over the past years. Nowadays, undergraduates are not only our future colleagues in industry and academia, but they also constitute the future workforce of a very significant part of the industry. The accomplishments of professional activities require a correct understanding of the role of technical standards applied to the industry, especially within the computing and the telecommunications fields. One of the challenges is to find the right way to introduce technical standards to enhance the learning experience by pointing students to the best practices of the industry. We found a stimulating alternative to overcome this challenge through the IEEE Student Branch Program. This paper presents one case of success, the IEEE's Student Branch in Spain during 2014, 2015 and 2017 and the Exemplary Student Branch Award (2017 to 2019) of Region 8 (Europe, Middle East and Africa).

In this paper we reflect on what makes mathematics more meaningful and more easily understood and thus enabling the learner to apply it to everyday situations in his/her life world. We identify personal – in relation to ‘collective’ or ‘public’ – mathematising as one key component towards real understanding of mathematics. We observe that today’s mathematics learner is often typified by such orientations as approaching the subject with timidity and in a cookbook fashion, adopting a re‐productive rather than a productive mode, and showing lack of intrinsic interest in the subject. Debilitating effects of some of these characteristics in relation to learning mathematics for personal development, include learner’s failure to exploit the subject’s natural features for developing own mental orientations such as algorithmic, stochastic, reflective, and creative thinking so essential in coping with modern life environments. We propose that, for inspirational effects, learners should have closer contact with and appreciation for the activities and practices of the professional mathematician. The mathematics teacher could enhance the learner’s mathematical learning experience by orienting instructional designs in ways that make the learning processes and outcomes more personal to the learner.
