Critical reading research and its implications for critical reading skills for Indonesian language teachers: A systematic literature review

The abundance of information sources is the result of rapid technological advances. Rapid technological advances must be balanced with reading skills, one of which is critical reading skills used to filter information sources. This systematic literature review aims to compare the findings of research articles published by the Science and Technology Index (SINTA). The keyword used to find articles in the SINTA database is "critical reading. " The search results found 78 articles, then 23 articles were selected that met the criteria for analysis. The reporting items selected for the systematic literature review and meta-analysis were the inclusion and exclusion models. In the last ten years, the number of publications dominated in 2016 with six articles. The types of research used by researchers in reviewing critical reading skills are R & D, quantitative, qualitative, and CAR. The research subjects used by the researchers consisted of class X high school students, class VII junior high school students, class VIII junior high school students, fifth-grade elementary school students, and junior high school teachers. The publication and citation structure reveals that, out of 23 articles, they have been cited 114 times, with the 2016 publication having the most citations, a total of 46 times. Writers who have a track record of publications covering critical reading skills are (1) Nuria Reny Hariyati, (2) Hespi Septiana, and (3) Endah Tri Priyatni, all three of whom have a publication track record of 10 articles. The writing institutions are divided into two institutions, namely schools (13%) and colleges (87%), and the collaboration of writers shows a number that is quite far apart, where 14 authors collaborate and nine single authors. There are eight ideas for reflection by Indonesian teachers in teaching critical reading skills.
Modeling the impact of asteroids over Mexican territory

This work focuses on knowing the physical, environmental and population effects from the impact of an asteroid occurring in the Mexican territory. The work consists of the adaptation of routines product of previous works in the literature to generate a numerical code written in PyThon that allowed modeling this kind of phenomenon. Firstly, a map of the superficial densities of the Mexican territory has been developed with a resolution of $0.5^\circ$ of longitude by $0.5^\circ$ of latitude of the Earth. The map allows us to find the value of surface density in a specific geological area of the country. Once the surface density value was obtained, it is established as the value of the impact site (target). The model requires using fixed parameters, such as the diameter of the body, its density or mass, the angle of incidence and the density value at the impact site. The output, provides the impact velocity, as well as the energy released, diameter and depth of the crater, the magnitude of the earthquake as well as the damage on the surface. We studied the Chicxulub asteroid event in two hypothetical scenarios. Firstly, the atmospheric density profile was modified, allowing the calculation of a new value for the impact velocity. Secondly, we assume that the object hits with a fraction of the initial mass, and with this the impact velocity and its effects were recalculated for three different targets. They were used to calculate the infrastructure damage they would cause if the impact could occur today. Finally, the results obtained by our model were compared with the literature, showing that they are consistent with the observational data. Models such as this one contribute to having tools for the attention towards the prevention of this kind of event that in the context of the study risks from the space are necessary in Mexico.
Microearthquake activity, lithospheric structure, and deformation modes at an amagmatic ultraslow spreading Southwest Indian Ridge segment

While nascent oceanic lithosphere at slow to fast spreading mid‐ocean ridges (MOR) is relatively well studied, much less is known about the lithospheric structure and properties at ultraslow MORs. Here we present microearthquake data from a 1 year ocean bottom seismometer deployment at the amagmatic, oblique supersegment of the ultraslow spreading Southwest Indian Ridge. A refraction seismic experiment was performed to constrain upper lithosphere P‐velocities and results were used to construct a 1D velocity model for earthquake location. Earthquake foci were located individually and subsequently relocated relative to each other to sharpen the image of seismically active structures. Frequent earthquake activity extends to 31 km beneath the seafloor, indicating an exceptionally thick brittle lithosphere and an undulating brittle‐ductile transition that implies significant variations in the along‐axis thermal structure of the lithosphere. We observe a strong relation between petrology, microseismicity distribution, and topography along the ridge axis: Peridotite‐dominated areas associate with deepest hypocenters, vast volumes of lithosphere that deforms aseismically as a consequence of alteration, and the deepest axial rift valley. Areas of basalt exposure correspond to shallower hypocenters, shallower and more rugged axial seafloor. Focal mechanisms deviate from pure extension and are spatially variable. Earthquakes form an undulating band of background seismicity and do not delineate discrete detachment faults as common on slow spreading ridges. Instead, the seismicity band sharply terminates to the south, immediately beneath the rift boundary. Considering the deep alteration, large steep boundary faults might be present but are entirely aseismic.
Die Flechtengattung Caloplaca in Grönland

The lichen genus Caloplaca is revised on the basis of specimens collected by J. Poelt and H. Ullrich in 1982 and 1983 in West Greenland, as well as all Greenland material in the herbaria of Copenhagen (C) and Oslo (0). A total of 43 species and two species of unclear affinity is described and discussed. Details are given about their ecology and the distribution of nine species is mapped. The taxonomy of some species-aggregates, including Caloplaca pyracea coll. and several black fruited saxicolous forms, is considered still unclear. A diagnostic key to all taxa is presented. One species and three varieties are described as new: Caloplaca psoricida, C. citrina var. soropelta, C. jemtlandica var. cerinosora, C. lithophila var. elaeophora (with oil paraphyses). Some previously differentiated species growing on different substrates are united: Caloplaca stillicidiorum with C. cerina, and C. cinnamomea with C. ammiospila. Variation in morphology and colour is discussed with spccial cmphasis on the impact of the arctic environment. In several species, e.g. Caloplaca exsecuta and C. tiroliensis, a significant blackening of the apothecium due to anatomical and chemical changes is described. An attempt has been made to classify the Greenland and some European species in natural infrageneric groups. lt is concluded, however, that a clear cut natural subdivision of this large genus is not possible at present. Notable new finds from Greenland are: Caloplaca trachyphylla, which is previously reported from western North America and Central Asia, C. anchon-phoeniceon, C. cacuminum, C. insularis, and C. saxifragarum, which are known from the Alps, and the temperate species C. decipiens, C. lactea and C. saxicola. Six species of Caloplaca are recorded as parasitic on lichens: Caloplaca anchon-phoeniceon (on Aspicilia), C. cacuminum (juvenile specimens on crustose lichens), C. castellana (mainly on Placynthium and other cyanophili), C. insularis (on Aspicilia), C. magni-filii (on Lecidea nigroleprosa) and C. psoricida (on Psora rubiformis).
Non-invasive Neuromodulation of Arrhythmias

Dysfunction of the cardiac autonomic nervous system (CANS) is associated with various cardiac arrhythmias. Subsequently, invasive techniques have successfully targeted the CANS for the treatment of certain arrhythmias, such as sympathetic denervation for ventricular tachycardia storm. Non-invasive strategies capable of modulating the CANS for arrhythmia treatment have begun to gain interest due to their low-risk profile and applicability as an adjuvant therapy. This review provides an evidence-based overview of the currently studied technologies capable of non-invasively modulating CANS for the suppression of atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias.

Teachers are quite ready to organize science learning in MC implementation and show positive perception.
The Epigenomic Features and Potential Functions of PEG- and PDS-Favorable DNA G-Quadruplexes in Rice

A G-quadruplex (G4) is a typical non-B DNA structure and involved in various DNA-templated events in eukaryotic genomes. PEG and PDS chemicals have been widely applied for promoting the folding of in vivo or in vitro G4s. However, how PEG and PDS preferentially affect a subset of G4 formation genome-wide is still largely unknown. We here conducted a BG4-based IP-seq in vitro under K++PEG or K++PDS conditions in the rice genome. We found that PEG-favored IP-G4s+ have distinct sequence features, distinct genomic distributions and distinct associations with TEGs, non-TEGs and subtypes of TEs compared to PDS-favored ones. Strikingly, PEG-specific IP-G4s+ are associated with euchromatin with less enrichment levels of DNA methylation but with more enriched active histone marks, while PDS-specific IP-G4s+ are associated with heterochromatin with higher enrichment levels of DNA methylation and repressive marks. Moreover, we found that genes with PEG-specific IP-G4s+ are more expressed than those with PDS-specific IP-G4s+, suggesting that PEG/PDS-specific IP-G4s+ alone or coordinating with epigenetic marks are involved in the regulation of the differential expression of related genes, therefore functioning in distinct biological processes. Thus, our study provides new insights into differential impacts of PEG and PDS on G4 formation, thereby advancing our understanding of G4 biology.
Implications of Teacher Competency and Learning Models on Student Motivation and Discipline Based on SMART-PLS

Learning is a cognitive process that enables students to engage in critical thinking, interact with information, and subsequently apply their knowledge to solve issues. The dynamic classroom approach enhances students' active learning, fosters student motivation, and promotes collaborative interactions among students, reducing conflicts and fostering discipline in both the classroom and the school. This study examines the Moving class model, teacher pedagogic competence, motivation, and learning discipline using the SmartPLS application-based Structural Equation Model (SEM). The location in this study was a state senior high school in Ambon, with samples obtained by simple random sampling of 41 students for the experimental class and 40 for the control class. The results obtained were that the validity and reliability tests on the outer model showed a value of Standardized Loading Factors (SLF) 0.7, Construct Reliability (CR) 0.5, and Average Variance Extracted (AVE) 0.5, so it was said to be valid and reliable. In contrast, in the Inner model, the dependent variable simultaneously influences learning motivation (Y) with an R Square value of 0.672 and learning discipline (Z) of 0.506, so the model is categorized as moderate. The Goodness of Fit (GoF) index shows Q square 0 and RMSE 0.05 and has predictive relevance indicating relevant exogenous latent variables. The significance test for proving the hypothesis showed that all variables had a positive and significant effect with a t-statistic 1.96 and a p-value 0.05. Limitations in this study include the arrangement of students, fluency in learning, and utilization of learning resources. As a continuation of this research, other research variables can be studied regarding personality, professionalism, and social competence and their influence on learning outcomes, self-efficacy, etcetera.

Ultra-Low Power Self-polarized Dynamic Threshold Telescopic OTAs Circuits for Biomedical Applications

Very low voltage and ultra low power consumption fully differential telescopic operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) circuits based on Dynamic Threshold MOS (DTMOS) technique were proposed in this paper. The first proposed DT-OTA (OTA-I) was designed using the conventional structure of a telescopic OTA. While ‘the second one (OTA-II) was designed using the bulk-driven technique at all amplifier levels. These two circuits are self-polarized and were designed for biomedical applications. The proposed two DT telescopic OTAs has good performances especially in terms of power consumption. The first circuit has a gain of 54.7 dB, a GBW of 312 kHz while the power consumption is only 270 nW. The DT telescopic OTA-II has a gain of 67 dB, a GBW of 400 kHz while the power consumption is only 250 nW. The DT-OTA circuits are implemented with the TSMC 0.18 $\mu$m CMOS technology.
TOWARDS THE MORE EFFICIENT USE OF FERTILISER POTASSIUM: PREDICTION OF 'SLOWLY-AVAILABLE' POTASSIUM RESERVES IN SOILS

Potassium (K) removals in harvested sugarcane generally range from 100 to 300 kg/ha. Since all K fertiliser is imported, the price is subject to the vicissitudes of the exchange rate. Current annual expenditure on this nutrient in the South African sugar industry is estimated to be in the region of half a billion rand. This investigation deals with the measurement of nonexchangeable (‘slowly-available’) K reserves in sugarcane soils from South Africa and neighbouring countries. Non-exchangeable K was determined in topsoil samples (n=340) using the boiling nitric acid procedure. Median nitric K was 1.19 cmolc/kg, with the range being 0 to 17.89 cmolc/kg. Values were highest in the northern irrigated areas of the South African industry, and in countries to the north, and lowest in the Midlands and coastal areas of South Africa. Data from Australian sugarcane trials as well as from a local sugarcane trial and long-term (25-year) maize trial suggest that for nitric K values above about 2.5 cmolc/kg, no fertiliser K is required. Since the nitric acid extraction is laborious in terms of routine soil testing, the challenge is to develop reliable predictions of non-exchangeable K using either infra-red spectroscopy or multiple regression techniques based on routinely-measured soil parameters. The potentials of these approaches are considered in the paper.
Drought response of five conifers along an ecological gradient in Central Europe: a multiproxy dendroecological analysis

Climate change projections indicate drier conditions and an increase in the frequency and duration of extreme drought events in the coming decades in Central Europe. However, it is not clear which tree species will be able to cope with drier climatic conditions and higher year-to-year climatic variability. We analyzed tree-growth responses of five co-occurring conifer species to past climatic variations and severe droughts across a wide climatic gradient in Central Europe, covering four distinct biogeographic regions: the northern Swiss Alps, the Swiss Plateau, the foothills of the Jura Mountains and the dry Central Alps. We studied three native tree species (Larix decidua Mill, Picea abies (L.) Karst. and Pinus sylvestris L. ) and two non-native species (Pinus nigra Arn. and Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii (Mirb.) Franco). Earlywood, latewood and total ring widths were measured for 770 trees from 14 sites and species-specific site chronologies were established. Growthclimate relationships between the site chronologies and climate (monthly mean temperature, precipitation sum and the self-calibrating Palmer Drought Severity Index) were assessed using response-function analysis for the common period 1941–2006. Tree responses to extreme drought events were assessed using pointer year and Superposed Epoch Analysis. Principal Component Analysis was used to determine spatial patterns of growthclimate relationships and drought responses. Species-specific responses to climatic variability and drought varied strongly depending on regions and site dryness. At dry sites in the Central Alps, soil water deficits in spring strongly reduced radial growth, whereas at moist sites located on the Swiss Plateau and foothills of the Jura Mountains summer drought impeded growth. The native P. abies, L. decidua and P. sylvestris were the most vulnerable species to drought, implying that their long-term performance and survival on nowadays dry sites can be compromised under a drier climate in Central Europe. Along the gradient, P. nigra and P. menziesii were least sensitive to climate and water deficits, making them potential substitutes to the more drought sensitive P. sylvestris and P. abies under a hotter and drier climate.
Preterm Birth and Maternal Mood States: What Is the Impact on Bonding?

Preterm birth is a significant global health issue affecting millions of infants each year, with potential implications for their developmental outcomes. This study investigated the impact of preterm birth on maternal mood states during the early postpartum period and its subsequent effects on mother–infant bonding. Mothers of 90 preterm infants were involved in the assessment of maternal mood states, examined with the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire and the evaluation of mother–infant bonding, carried out through the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ). Contrary to expectations, there was no significant correlation between preterm birth characteristics and maternal mood states. On the other hand, significant correlations emerged between specific maternal mood states and the quality of mother–child bonding. More specifically, regression analyses showed that feelings of tension, anger, and confusion experienced by the mother tend to negatively affect the quality of her bond with her child. These findings emphasize the crucial role of maternal mental well-being in shaping the mother–infant relationship in the early postpartum period. The study highlights the importance of identifying and addressing maternal mood disorders to promote positive mother–infant bonding and child development, further underlining the need for comprehensive support and interventions for mothers of preterm infants.
Molecular Characterization, Phylogeny, and Expression Profiles of SoxE Subfamily in Scophthalmus maximus

SOXE transcription factors, including SOX8, SOX9, and SOX10, regulate several developmental events, such as sex determination, chondrogenesis, and neurogenesis. This study systematically identified six SoxE subfamily genes from the turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) genome and transcriptome, including SmSox8a, SmSox8b, SmSox9a, SmSox9b, SmSox10a, and SmSox10b. The duplicates of three SOXE members revealed that SoxE subfamily genes in the turbot underwent significant expansion. Relatively conserved exon-intron structures and intron insertions were detected using genomic structural analysis. Besides, phylogenetic analysis supported the previous classification of the SoxE subfamily. Results of the expression profile revealed that turbot SoxE subfamily genes may be involved in different activities, such as neurogenesis and gonad development. These findings would assist in the understanding of fish SoxE gene subfamily activities and evolution.
Assessment of Bee Honey in some Districts in South-Western Nigeria for Agricultural Pesticide Residues and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

Purpose: Honey are produced by honeybees which are expected to be free from contaminants or pollutants in the environment. But different degrees of anthropogenic activities in regions where apiaries domiciles have raised issues of primary health importance because of the increasing contents of pesticide residues, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and other related hydrocarbon compounds in honey. Osun State is an agrarian state where agricultural herbicides and insecticides are used. The study focused on organophosphate and organochlorine compounds and PAHs. Research Method: Honey samples sourced from selected zones in Osun State, were screened for organophosphate, organochlorine compounds, PAHs as well as other related hydrocarbon compounds using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Finding: There were no traces of highlighted pesticide residues except for PAHs and other related compounds. Ninety-two PAHs and other related hydrocarbon compounds were identified. The number of PAHs and related compounds per sample ranged from 9 to 35. While Cyclohexane, Decodane and Naphthalene were the most common with higher concentrations in all the samples. The Mn±S.D values of Cyclohexane, Naphthalene and Decodane obtained were 0.2976±0. 1253µgkg-1, 0.471±0. 119µgkg-1, and 12.516±3. 120µgkg-1 respectively. Other PAHs and other related hydrocarbon compounds identified had insignificant concentrations. Originality/value: The study recommends that bee farmers should locate their apiaries 3km to 5km away from regions where there are serious hazardous anthropogenic activities including industrial areas. Also, there is need for strong understanding between the bee farmers and crop farmers on tolerable uses of agricultural pesticides, and herbicides on field crops during the flower bloom period where there are no options. Lastly, harvested honey should undergo quality assurance and control for safety reasons. All packaged honey for retail should bear labels including the compositions after quality analysis.
