The purposes of this research were to study the behavior of watching news programs of people in the northern part of Thailand, attitude towards programming and content of narrating news programs, and compare the expectations and satisfaction of people in the northern part of Thailand towards watching a narrating news program. This research is quantitative research, with a comparative study of sports and entertainment news to watch news programs using questionnaires as a research tool. The research population consists of 1,600 people living in the north of Thailand with ages 15 and above. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test (Independent Sample t-test and Pair sample t-test). The results revealed that most of the samples used to watch narrating news program on television, both on weekdays and holidays between 18.01 - 21.00 hrs which had the frequency of watching narrating news program every day. The narrating news program viewed because the language is easy to understand, and the reliability of the news programs is at a medium level. The results of the study also revealed that the sample group has an attitude towards program planning and contents of narrating news programs at a high level; the expectation was more significant than the satisfaction with the viewing of narrating news programs, which were the statistically significant difference at the 0.05. Entertainment and sports news have different attitudes towards programming and content of narrating news programs with statistically significant at the 0.05 level (P-value = 0.00), but the expectations and satisfaction are not different. While both types of news, sample groups were less satisfied with the narrating news programs than expected

A quantitative research was carried out at the International School, Thai Nguyen University to measure the levels of reading anxiety among non-English majored students who had just finished one year of intensive English. These students were supposed to take a simulation IELTS exam with an expected result of 5.5 overall bands (B2-CEFR). The finding showed that the level of anxiety measured was at medium level (M = 3.31, SD = 0.59, SEM = 0.09, Min = 2.05, Max = 4.30, Skewness = -0.46, Kurtosis = -0.54). The second research question focuses on the correlation between reading anxiety and the use of reading strategies. The results showed that there was no significant difference between reading anxiety and the uses of reading strategies. The third research finding indicated that there was a significant difference between the levels of reading anxiety and academic reading achievement. Students with high level of anxiety attain low achievement. Low anxiety (M = 2.64, SD = 0.50) was significantly larger than for High anxiety (M = 1.40, SD = 0.52).

Abstract Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common inflammation of the nose and the paranasal sinuses. Intractable CRS cases are generally treated with endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Although the effect of ESS on CRS symptoms has been studied, the pattern of symptom improvement after ESS for CRS is yet to be investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the magnitude and sequence of symptom improvement after ESS for CRS, and to assess the possible preoperative factors that predict surgical outcomes in CRS patients. Methods This was a longitudinal prospective study of 68 patients who had CRS (with or without nasal polyps). The patients underwent ESS at King Fahd Hospital of the University, Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia. The Sino-nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) questionnaire was used for assessment at four time points during the study: pre-ESS, 1-week post-ESS, 4 weeks post-ESS, and 6 months post-ESS. Results The difference between the mean scores recorded for the five SNOT-22 domains pre-ESS and 6 months post-ESS were as follows: rhinologic symptoms (t-test = 7.22, p-value =  < 0.001); extra-nasal rhinologic symptoms (t-test = 4.87, p-value =  < 0.001); ear/facial symptoms (t-test = 6.34, p-value =  < 0.001); psychological dysfunction (t-test = 1.99, p-value = 0.049); and sleep dysfunction (t-test = 5.58, p-value =  < 0.001). There was a significant difference between the mean scores recorded for the five domains pre-ESS and 6 months post-ESS. Rhinologic symptoms had the largest effect size (d = 1.12), whereas psychological dysfunction had the least effect size (d = 0.24). The only statistically significant difference in the SNOT-22 mean scores recorded 4 weeks post-ESS was observed between allergic and non-allergic patients (t = − 2.16, df = 66, p = 0.035). Conclusion Understanding the pattern of symptom improvement following ESS for CRS will facilitate patient counselling and aid the optimization of the current treatment protocols to maximize surgical outcomes and quality of life. Level of evidence Prospective observational.

Abstract. The purpose of this research is to compare the efficiency of 11 Sharia Banks in Indonesia and its impact on their performance. This study relies on the quarterly data from 2012-2017 and applied Data Envelopment Analysis to measure their performance. The result of the T-test shows that the P-value for two tail = 0.706. So based on this trend the P-value is greater than α = 0.05 (P-value> α). In the condition of P-value> α, H1 is rejected, meaning that there is no change in the value of efficiency between the period 2012-2014 and the period 2015-2017. This research shows that the efficiency of Islamic banking has not occurred during the implementation of the 2012-2017 Indonesian Sharia Banking Roadmap. Furthermore, the highest efficiency value during the period before implementation was 0.92 with an average efficiency value of 0.57. This means that during this period there was room to increase efficiency by 0.35. Meanwhile the period after implementing the highest efficiency value was 0.87 with an average efficiency value of 0.59. This means that during this period there was room to increase efficiency by 0.28. This means that during the 2012-2017 period, there was no significant difference in efficiency levels during the 2012-2014 period (before the implementation) and the 2015-2017 period (after the implementation of the Islamic banking road map). Keywords: DEA, Efficiency, Sharia Bank Abstrak. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk membandingkan efisiensi dari 11 Bank Syariah di Indonesia dan dampaknya terhadap kinerja bank tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan data setiap kuartal selama tahun 2012 hingga tahun 2017 dan menggunakan Data Envelopment Analysis untuk mengukur kinerja. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa selama implementasi Roadmap, perbankan syariah belum menunjukan kenaikan efisiensi. Sementara itu, sebelum implementasi tersebut, nilai efisiensi tertinggi perbankan syariah sebesar 0,92, sedangkan rata-rata nilai efisiensinya sebesar 0,57. Ini berarti bahwa ada ruang untuk meningkatkan level efisiensi sebesar 0,35. Sedangkan pada periode implementasi, nilai efisiensi tertingi perbankan syariah sebesar 0,87, dan ratarata nilai efisiensinya sebesar 0,59. Ini berarti ada ruang untuk meningkatkan level efisiensi sebesar 0,28. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukan bahwa, secara keseluruhan periode tahun 2012 hingga tahun 2017, hasil t-test menunjukan nilai P-value for two tail = 0.706. Ini berarti P-value> α, dan menolak H1, sehingga tidak terdapat perbedaan level efisiensi selama periode 2012-2014 (sebelum implementasi) dan periode 2015 – 2017 (setelah implementasi) Kata kunci: DEA, Efisiensi, Bank Syariah

ABSTRAKLembar Kegiatan Siswa (LKS) adalah salah satu bagian dari bahan ajar. Sebagai salah satu bagian dari bahan ajar, LKS merupakan komponen yang penting dalam pembelajaran. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian pendahuluan, LKS yang digunakan masih belum mengarah pada pola pembelajaran yang mengeksplorasi pengetahuan siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan LKS hasil pengembangan berbasis inkuiri terbimbing pada materi teks diskusi siswa SMP kelas IX yang valid dan efektif. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian dan pengembangan, kolaborasi model Borg & Gall dan Dick & Carey. Metode yang digunakan adalah kuasi eksperimen (static group comparison design). Sampel penelitian adalah siswa SMP kelas IX, 30 siswa sebagai kelas pembanding, 33 siswa sebagai kelas eksperimen. Alat ukur berupa tes pilihan ganda pada evaluasi formatif sebagai posttest. Analisis data digunakan uji-t untuk sampel berpasangan pada taraf signifikan 5 % (p<0,05). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan LKS tergolong valid berdasarkan rata-rata penilaian pakar sebesar 74,7% dengan kategori cukup valid. Efektif berdasarkan 1) hasil belajar kognitif, rata-rata kelas 90,42 dan melebihi batas ketuntasan (KKM) yang ditetapkan yaitu 80. Hasil uji-t diperoleh nilai t = -9,574 dengan derajat kebebasan (dk) sebesar 61.  Sedangkan p-value (2-tailed)= 0,0000, karena p-value = 0,0000 lebih kecil dari α = 0,05 maka H0 : µ1 = µ2 ditolak, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara posttest kelompok eksperimen dengan kelompok pembanding. Kata Kunci: LKS, inkuiri terbimbing, materi tek diskusi.ABSTRACTStudent Activity Sheet (LKS) is one part of teaching materials. As one part of teaching materials, LKS is an important component in learning. Based on preliminary research results, LKS used still not lead to learning patterns that explore students' knowledge. This study aims to produce LKS based on guided inquiry based on the discussion material of students of SMP class IX class that is valid and effective. This type of research is a research and development, collaboration models Borg & Gall and Dick & Carey. The method used is quasi experiment (static group comparison design). The sample of the research is the students of SMP class IX, 30 students as the comparison class, 33 students as the experimental class. Measurers are multiple choice tests on formative evaluation as posttest. Data analysis used t-test for paired samples at 5% significant level (p <0,05). The result of the research shows that LKS is valid based on the average expert rating of 74.7% with the category is quite valid. Effective on the basis of 1) cognitive learning outcomes, grade averages 90.42 and beyond the defined limit of (KKM) which is defined as 80. T-test results obtained t value = -9.574 with degrees of freedom (dk) of 61. While p-value (2-tailed) = 0,0000, since p-value = 0,0000 is smaller than α = 0.05 then H0: μ1 = μ2 is rejected, so it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the experimental group posttest and the comparison group. Keywords: LKS, guided inquiry, discussion material.

Abstractwas to assess efficacy of Tadalafil alone versus Tadalafil plus Pentoxifylline in the treatment of erectile dysfunction by using self administered IIEF-5 questionnaire.Two hundred and thirty seven patients presenting with ED at andrology OPD were evaluated for ED by a self administered IIEF (International Index of Erectile Function) questionnaire. Patients were systematically randomized by computer generated random table into two groups groups namely, group A: Tadalafil only group, group B: combination of Tadalafil + Pentoxifyl-line. All the patients were re-assessed by IIEF-5 questionnaire after 8 weeks of medical therapy. Statistical analysis was performed using student’s unpaired t-test, paired t-test, chi square test. p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Two hundred and thirty seven patients were included in the present study, in group A: 92 patients (78.6%) showed improvement in their IIEF score after 8 weeks of tadalafil treatment. While in group B, overall 104 patients(86.6%) showed improvement after combination of Tadalafil and Pentoxifylline. There was a statistically significant difference of percentage change in IIEF score was seen in group B (group A 90.7±15.2%, group B 95.6±13.4%; p value – 0.014). We found this difference even more statistically significant in patients with severe ED (group A 72.7±47.2%, group B 132.3±54.3%; p value – 0.000). There was no significant difference in between the two groups with regards to occur-rence of side effects.Both tadalafil and combination of Tadalafil + Pentoxifylline improve erectile function in patients of ED. Patients with severe ED showed much significant improvement in erectile function with combination therapy.
