This special issue of Islamic Education as the Core for Formation of Barakah Campus brings together 10 selected articles presented at 2018 International Conference on Islamic Higher Education (SeIPTI) which was held on 25 & 26 November. The conference was organized by Faculty of Leadership and Management, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM). The topics presented discussed on knowledge integration and learning process among Malaysian University graduates, including a special discussion on Muslim gifted and talented students. This special issue also highlighted topics on academics’ working satisfaction towards co-worker, as well as the relationship between Muslim and the non-Muslim according to the perspective of Maqasid Syariah in Malaysia, as well as the importance of barakah (Allah’s blessings) in building a nation. In addition, an article on measuring the effectiveness of University programs gave emphasis to the use of meta-analysis and systematic review of various evaluation models.

No matter how fascinating the discoveries in the field of molecular biology are, in the end it is the phenotype that matters. In this paper we pay attention to various aspects of plant phenotyping. The challenges to unravel the relationship between genotype and phenotype are discussed, as well as the case where ‘plants do not have a phenotype’. More emphasis has to be placed on automation to match the increased output in the molecular sciences with analysis of relevant traits under laboratory, greenhouse and field conditions. Currently, non-destructive measurements with cameras are becoming widely used to assess plant structural properties, but a wider range of non-invasive approaches and evaluation tools has to be developed to combine physiologically meaningful data with structural information of plants. Another field requiring major progress is the handling and processing of data. A better e-infrastructure will enable easier establishment of links between phenotypic traits and genetic data. In the final part of this paper we briefly introduce the range of contributions that form the core of a special issue of this journal on plant phenotyping.

The article is intended to describe the implementation and the supporting factors of Islamic education at accelerated classes at state SMA 1 Kediri. Descriptive-qualitative was employed, and the data were elicited through interview, observation, and documentation. It was found out that the implementation of Islamic education at accelerated classes was not very much different from the regular classes in the form of curriculum, methods, and evaluation. The difference is only that accelerated classes are only for gifted and talented students. In addition, some supporting factors were good communication as well close relationship between the teachers and students, skilled teachers, sufficient facilities, good students, students’ illiterate technology, KMP. Some barriers were also found. They are teachers’ literate technology, small classes, and students’ minimum religious background. Therefore, any party related to this should contribute to overcome the barriers.  Key words: Accelerated classes, Instruction, Islamic education.

<p>This study aims to disclose the relationship between the feeling of psychological security among talented adolescents at Gifted and Talented Schools in Ajloun Governorate/Jordan and Academic Achievement level, and its relationship to some demographic factors: (gender, class). In order to achieve the objectives of the study, it was used Maslow scale of feeling of security, and it was developed by Al-diwani and Al-dirani (1983) to match the Jordanian Arab environment, and to identify and ensure validity and reliability, the sample consisted of 100 talented students were selected randomly from class of supreme basic and secondary schools. It was analyzed the data through the arithmetic averages standard deviations and value of (t), the multi variance analysis correlation coefficient between psychological security &amp; academic achievement, and the study came up with some results including: that the level of psychological security between the talented students ranged between medium, high. And there is statistically significant effect when (α≤0.05) between psychological security and its dimensions at class factor for the seventh class (12 years) and there is statistically significant effect when α≤0.05 between  psychological security and its dimensions at the gender factor in favor of females. And there is a positive correlation relationship between psychological security and its dimensions and academic achievement among the talented. And the results were discussed in the light of the theoretical framework &amp; previous studies, it was suggested some recommendations on the basis of the results of the study.</p>

This research aimed to establish the relationship between the social exclusion perceived by gifted and talented students and their sense of humor. Besides, the goal was to evaluate the relationship between the variables of the use of humor, the process of coping through a sense of humor, and the appreciating humor in cases of ignoring and avoiding during social exclusion. A relational screening model was used in the research. Among the research variables included in the model, social exclusion (ostracism) is considered as a dependent variable, while the sense of humor is an independent variable. The study group is composed of 202 students who are diagnosed as gifted and talented students. Within the scope of the study, the “Multidimensional Sense of Humor Scale for Children” developed by Akın and Bilgin (2015) and the “Social Exclusion Scale for Adolescents” developed by Sertelin Mercan (2016) have been applied. When the data collected as a result of the study was examined, it was revealed that there was a positive relationship between the sub-dimensions of generating a sense of humor, coping through humor, and appreciating humor, which is the sense of humor sub-dimensions of gifted and talented students and the exclusion subdimension of social exclusion. This situation shows that gifted and talented children generate a sense of humor, cope with this situation through humor, and appreciate humor when they face exclusion in their social environment.

Summary: Our meta-analysis focused on the relationship between homocysteine (Hcy) level and the incidence of aneurysms and looked at the relationship between smoking, hypertension and aneurysms. A systematic literature search of Pubmed, Web of Science, and Embase databases (up to March 31, 2020) resulted in the identification of 19 studies, including 2,629 aneurysm patients and 6,497 healthy participants. Combined analysis of the included studies showed that number of smoking, hypertension and hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) in aneurysm patients was higher than that in the control groups, and the total plasma Hcy level in aneurysm patients was also higher. These findings suggest that smoking, hypertension and HHcy may be risk factors for the development and progression of aneurysms. Although the heterogeneity of meta-analysis was significant, it was found that the heterogeneity might come from the difference between race and disease species through subgroup analysis. Large-scale randomized controlled studies of single species and single disease species are needed in the future to supplement the accuracy of the results.

The topic of what interviews measure has received a great deal of attention over the years. One line of research has investigated the relationship between interviews and the construct of cognitive ability. A previous meta-analysis reported an overall corrected correlation of .40 ( Huffcutt, Roth, & McDaniel, 1996 ). A more recent meta-analysis reported a noticeably lower corrected correlation of .27 ( Berry, Sackett, & Landers, 2007 ). After reviewing both meta-analyses, it appears that the two studies posed different research questions. Further, there were a number of coding judgments in Berry et al. that merit review, and there was no moderator analysis for educational versus employment interviews. As a result, we reanalyzed the work by Berry et al. and found a corrected correlation of .42 for employment interviews (.15 higher than Berry et al., a 56% increase). Further, educational interviews were associated with a corrected correlation of .21, supporting their influence as a moderator. We suggest a better estimate of the correlation between employment interviews and cognitive ability is .42, and this takes us “back to the future” in that the better overall estimate of the employment interviews – cognitive ability relationship is roughly .40. This difference has implications for what is being measured by interviews and their incremental validity.
