This paper questions the applicability of traditional notions of intermediary activities, which are usually categorized as either brokering or networking, in cases of high uncertainty regarding technologies, markets or which actors to involve. In the case of collaborative open innovation, especially in circumstances when no single organization is able to take on the challenge alone, the activities traditionally associated with intermediation do not suffice to describe what an intermediary can do to support innovation. This paper presents two cases of intermediaries working with the early phases of traffic safety innovations, and how they have managed to develop their activities beyond solely brokering and networking, but also to take an active role in the process of joint exploration and creation of knowledge. We use a qualitative approach to analyze the two cases in order to provide examples of how rethinking intermediation activities can support open innovation in a collaborative setting. The findings suggest that intermediaries can take on a more active role, which could be described as an architect which designs prerequisites and offers leadership in the process of joint exploration and creation of knowledge.

Cerebral palsy children need special treatment from their parents. The optimal caring from father has a significant influence on the development of children with cerebral palsy. This study aims to explore the role of fathers in caring for children with cerebral palsy. This research uses a qualitative approach. This study uses semi-structured interviews with fathers who have children with cerebral palsy. The results of this study found that fathers play an active role in childcare. Fathers help build good relationships with children by inviting them to play, sing, and read a child's favourite storybook. Even though he is busy at work, the father always tries to fulfil the children's needs such as bathing, eating, giving medication, changing diapers and routine therapy. Each participant in this study had their parenting challenges. Although sometimes the participants feel unwilling to do therapy on children, what makes them enthusiastic is their high expectations.

Based on the Regulation of the Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration of the Republic of Indonesia Number 13 of 2020 concerning Priorities for the Use of Village Funds in 2021, SDG's Desa contains 18 development visions that are adapted to the customary conditions of each village. In realizing this vision, one of the obstacles to be overcome is the lack of community participation. This is also experienced by the Karangpawitan Village in Karawang Regency.   The method used in this research is descriptive analysis method using a qualitative approach. The results showed that since the end of 2019, community participation began to grow and resulted in development programs such as the Waste Bank and BSF Maggot Farm Greenday. The program is supported by the active role of the Karangpawitan sub-district government to the maximum so that it has succeeded in massively increasing community participation while producing various benefits.

Game Context

In these times of a collaborative Web, consumers actively participate in the creation, elaboration, and evaluation of new content. Portals like Wikipedia demonstrate how this collaborative and creative behavior can result in valuable outcome. Companies benefit, as well, from this active role of the consumer: Consumers generate, develop, and evaluate new ideas for products and services in idea competitions. A challenge of today’s idea competitions is that the recent “inflationary increase” partly results in a decrease of participation. The purpose of this study is to explore one possible approach to transfer the positive motivational effect of games to idea competitions. The transfer of playful elements from a game context to the model of open innovation is what we call “game-based open innovation.” Based on theoretical insights, analysis of 18 cases and three interviews, this study demonstrates the actual occurrence of game mechanisms and their effect on the motivation of participants.

Child education within families in Lelede village is performed by parents by means of various methods according to the level of their understanding about child education related to faith. Faith education for the children is crucial because it is influential upon their everyday conducts. In Qur’an Chapter of Lukman verse No. 13, Allah SWT narrated the story of the Prophet Lukman by mentioning goodness in that he was given Hikmah (wisdom) and that he advised his kids and inherited them the worthiest of his knowing. That is why, he preached his kids not to worship anything except Allah SWT. This research drew on the qualitative approach in which the data were collected through observation, in-depth interview, and focus-group discussion, and documentation. The intensive process of the research took place for almost a year that involved a hundred informants consisting of villages, academics, public and religious figures in the village of Lelede, Kediri West Lombok. It was found that the factors affecting the child education within the families were the active role of their parents in educating their offspring, positive interaction between them, strong supports from the parents and family and the presence of adequate love and affection as well as attention given towards the kids in educating their kids in the families. This study encapsulated that the child education in the families seen from the perspective of Qs. Luqmanverse No. 13 sheds lights on the importance of faith education for the children not to worship anything except Allah SWT. The noble advices of the parents occur because of the pure and wise attitude of their parents for the better future of their kids.   Pendidikan anak dalam keluarga di desa Lelede dilaksanakan oleh orang tua dengan berbagai bentuk dan metode sesuai dengan tingkat pemahaman orang tua tentang pendidikan anak terkait keimanan. Pendidikan keimanan terhadap anak sangat penting karena inilah yang menjadi motor penggerak dalam melaksanakan semua perbuatan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Di dalam Al-Qur’an surat Luqman ayat 13 Allah SWT menyebutkan kisah Luqman dengan sebutan yang baik, bahwa dia telah menganugerahinya hikmah dan Luqman menasihati anaknya yang merupakan buah hatinya, maka wajarlah bila ia memberikan kepada orang yang paling dikasihinya sesuatu yang paling utama dari pengetahuannya. Karena itulah hal pertama yang dia pesankan kepada anaknya ialah hendaknya ia menyembah Allah semata, jangan mempersekutukannya dengan sesuatu pun. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian lapangan dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Penggalian data dilakukan dengan teknik observasi, wawancara mendalam, FGD, dan studi dokumentasi. Proses penelitian intensif berlangsung selama hampir satu tahun dengan melibatkan lebih dari seratus informan yang terdiri dari warga, akademisi, tokoh masyarakat, dan tokoh agama di desa Lelede, Kediri Lombok Barat. Faktor yang mempengaruhi pendidikan anak dalam keluarga ialah peran aktif orang tua dalam mendidik anak dalam keluarga, adanya interaksi yang baik antara orang tua dan anak, adanya dukungan yang kuat dari orang tua dan keluarga, dan memberikan perhatian dan kasih sayang yang cukup dalam mendidik anak dalam keluarga. Penelitian ini juga menyimpulkan bahwa pendidikan anak dalam keluarga perspektif Qs. Luqman ayat 13 menjelaskan tentang pentingnya pendidikan keimanan anak untuk tidak menyekutukan Allah dengan sesuatu apapun. Pesan mulia orang tua kepada anak ini terjadi karena sikap tulus orang tua yang bijaksana terhadap nasib masa depan anaknya.

Early Phases

A hallmark of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep is the coordinated interplay of slow oscillations (SOs) and sleep spindles. Traditionally, a cortico-thalamo-cortical loop is suggested to coordinate these rhythms: neocortically-generated SOs trigger spindles in the thalamus that are projected back to neocortex. Here, we used direct intrathalamic recordings from human epilepsy patients to test this canonical interplay. We show that SOs in the anterior thalamus precede neocortical SOs, whereas concurrently-recorded SOs in the mediodorsal thalamus are led by neocortical SOs. Furthermore, sleep spindles, detected in both thalamic nuclei, preceded their neocortical counterparts and were initiated during early phases of thalamic SOs. Our findings indicate an active role of the anterior thalamus in organizing the cardinal sleep rhythms in the neocortex and highlight the functional diversity of specific thalamic nuclei in humans. The concurrent coordination of sleep oscillations by the thalamus could have broad implications for the mechanisms underlying memory consolidation.

Orientasi seksual merupakan perasaan ketertarikan secara seksual dan emosional dengan orang lain. Homoseksual merupakan ketertarikan seksual yang terjadi antara sesama jenis kelamin. Hingga saat ini penyebab terjadinya orientasi seksual ini belum dapat dipastikan secara pasti. Prevalensi homoseksual mengalami peningkatan dari tahun ke tahun. Untuk itu peneliti mencoba menggali penyebab homoseksual dari perspektif pelaku homoseksual sendiri. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini berjumlah enam orang. Data yang terkumpul diolah dengan analisa tematik dan diperoleh 1 tema yaitu pengalaman masa lalumenjadipenyebabhomoseksual yang terbentuk dari 2 kategori (menjadi korban pelecehan seksual dan kurang interaksi dengan ayah). Penelitian ini merekomendasikan peran aktif kedua orang tua dalam mendidik anak sejak kecil. Kata kunci : Gay, homoseksual, peran ayah, pengalaman trauma, pelecehan seksual GAY PERCEPTIONS TO THE CAUSES OF HOMOSEXUALITY ABSTRACTSexual orientation is a sexual and emotional attraction feeling with others. Homosexuality is sexual attraction that happens to people with the same sex. Until now, this sexual orientation cause has not been confirmed yet. Homosexuality prevalence has increased from year to year. For this reason, the researchers try to explore the causes of homosexuality by the perspective of homosexuals themselves. This research is a qualitative research with a descriptive qualitative approach. There are six participants in this study. The collected data is processed with thematic analysis and one theme is obtained, past experience is a cause of homosexuality that is formed from two categories (being victims of sexual abuse and lack of interaction with father). This research recommends the active role of both parents in educating children from childhood. Keywords: Gay, homosexual, father's role, trauma experience, sexual abuse

Human Erythrocyte Ghost

Spectrin is a membrane associated protein most of which properties have been tentatively elucidated. A main role of the protein has been assumed to give a supporting structure to inside of the membrane. As reported previously, however, the isolated spectrin molecule underwent self assemble to form such as fibrous, meshwork, dispersed or aggregated arrangements depending upon the buffer suspended and was suggested to play an active role in the membrane conformational changes. In this study, the role of spectrin and actin was examined in terms of the molecular arrangements on the erythrocyte membrane surface with correlation to the functional states of the ghosts.Human erythrocyte ghosts were prepared from either freshly drawn or stocked bank blood by the method of Dodge et al with a slight modification as described before. Anti-spectrin antibody was raised against rabbit by injection of purified spectrin and partially purified.

It has been almost universally adopted that dissolution of solids proceeds with development of uniform, continuous frontiers of reaction.However this point of view is doubtful / 1 /. E.g. we have proved the active role of the block (grain) boundaries in the main phases of cement, these boundaries being the areas of hydrate phases' nucleation / 2 /. It has brought to the supposition that the dissolution frontier of cement particles in water is discrete. It seems also probable that the dissolution proceeds through the channels, which serve both for the liquid phase movement and for the drainage of the incongruant solution products. These channels can be appeared along the block boundaries.In order to demonsrate it, we have offered the method of phase-contrast impregnation of the hardened cement paste with the solution of methyl metacrylahe and benzoyl peroxide. The viscosity of this solution is equal to that of water.

While the use of vinegar to fi ght against infections and other crucial conditions dates back to Hippocrates, recent research has found that vinegar consumption has a positive effect on biomarkers for diabetes, cancer, and heart diseases. Different types of vinegar have been used in the world during different time periods. Vinegar is produced by a fermentation process. Foods with a high content of carbohydrates are a good source of vinegar. Review of the results of different studies performed on vinegar components reveals that the daily use of these components has a healthy impact on the physiological and chemical structure of the human body. During the era of Hippocrates, people used vinegar as a medicine to treat wounds, which means that vinegar is one of the ancient foods used as folk medicine. The purpose of the current review paper is to provide a detailed summary of the outcome of previous studies emphasizing the role of vinegar in treatment of different diseases both in acute and chronic conditions, its in vivo mechanism and the active role of different bacteria.
