Are Cross-Border Classes Feasible for Students to Collaborate in the Analysis of Energy Efficiency Strategies for Socioeconomic Development While Keeping CO2 Concentration Controlled?
Authors: Araya Roberto , Collanqui Pedro
Published: February 2021

Education is critical for improving energy efficiency and reducing CO2 concentration, but collaboration between countries is also critical. It is a global problem in which we cannot isolate ourselves. Our students must learn to collaborate in seeking solutions together with others from other countries. Thus, the research question of this study is whether interactive cross-border science classes with energy experiments are feasible and can increase awareness of energy efficiency among middle school students. We designed and tested an interactive cross-border class between Chilean and Peruvian eighth-grade classes. The classes were synchronously connected and all students did experiments and answered open-ended questions on an online platform. Some of the questions were designed to check conceptual understanding whereas others asked for suggestions of how to develop their economies while keeping CO2 air concentration at acceptable levels. In real time, the teacher reviewed the students’ written answers and the concept maps that were automatically generated based on their responses. Students peer-reviewed their classmates’ suggestions. This is part of an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) education project on energy efficiency using APEC databases. We found high levels of student engagement, where students discussed not only the cross-cutting nature of energy, but also its relation to socioeconomic development and CO2 emissions, and the need to work together to improve energy efficiency. In conclusion, interactive cross-border science classes are a feasible educational alternative, with potential as a scalable public policy strategy for improving awareness of energy efficiency among the population.
The Common Good Balance Sheet and Employees’ Perceptions, Attitudes and Behaviors
Authors: Wiefek Jasmin , Heinitz Kathrin
Published: February 2021

The Common Good Balance Sheet (CGB) is an instrument to measure a company’s contribution to the common good. In our study, we investigate whether employees from companies with higher CBG scores perceive more corporate social responsibility than employees from companies with lower CBG scores and whether relationships can be found between the achieved CGB scores and employees’ job-related attitudes and behaviors. We conducted an online survey of 332 employees from eight German companies with published CGBs. According to results from multiple linear regression analyses, employees from companies with higher CGB scores perceive more CSR and are more satisfied with their jobs and payments. In addition, they report less job demands, more organizational support, more work meaningfulness and more organizational citizenship behaviors towards their company. Employees identify more with their company if high transparency and co-determination is practiced. However, the value and social impact of the companies’ products is not related to employees’ organizational identification. Moreover, employees from companies with high CGB scores do not report more organizational citizenship behaviors towards their colleagues. Our results indicate that the CGB is a tool that measures aspects concerning job-related attitudes and behaviors and allows comparability between companies. However, aspects relevant to job satisfaction may still be missing in the CGB scoring.
Impact of Collaborative Forest Management on Rural Livelihood: A Case Study of Maple Sap Collecting Households in South Korea
Authors: Park So-Hee , Yeo-Chang Youn
Published: February 2021

Some forest-dependent rural communities participate in the Collaborative Forest Management (CFM) program in South Korea, which provides the local people with access to national forests for the collection of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) in return for their contribution to the management of national forests. This study investigated what factors influenced rural communities’ participation in CFM and how their participation in CFM affected livelihood strategies and income level. Households in 17 villages near the Seoul National University (SNU) forests owned by the Government were interviewed. The study found that CFM participating households tend to choose diversified livelihood strategies. CFM participating households with diversified livelihood strategies are likely to have a higher income than non-CFM participating households choosing sectoral focus strategies. Expansion of the CFM program is suggested as a policy option to improve forest-dependent rural livelihood. However, ageing and female-headed households are faced with difficulties in participating in CFM due to their physical ability of forestry work while new settlers restricted access to forest resources. There is a need for innovation in forest governance for equitable distribution of forest services for both original and new residents to achieve sustainable rural livelihoods.

Published: February 2021

To evaluate the incidence of symptomatic anisometropia and aniseikonia requiring intervention following surgery with combined pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and broad 276 style encircling scleral buckle (ESB) for the repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRD) and to report axial length (AL) and keratometry changes, a retrospective review of consecutive RRD patients treated with combined PPV and ESB between June 2016 until September 2019 was performed. All patients with symptomatic optically induced aniseikonia requiring additional interventions or surgical procedures including clear lens exchanges, secondary intraocular lens implants or contact lenses were documented. Keratometry and AL measurements were recorded for each eye and changes calculated. In total, 100 patients underwent combined PPV, ESB and endotamponade with mean age of 59.47 years (SD 11.49). AL was significantly increased (25.39 mm [SD 1.27] to 26.54 mm [SD 1.16], p = 0.0001), with a mean change of 1.15 mm (SD 0.67). Mean corneal astigmatism increased by –0.95 D (SD 0.51) in control eyes preoperatively and –1.33 (SD 0.87) postoperatively (p = 0.03). Over half of phakic patients (39/61; 64%) developed a visually significant cataract, subsequently undergoing surgery. Six of 100 patients developed symptomatic anisometropia with aniseikonia postoperatively (6%). Four proceeded with clear lens exchange despite absence of visually significant cataract (4%). Two of these initially trialled contact lenses (2%). One was intolerant, while the other decided to proceed with clear lens exchange for convenience. Only one patient (1%), being pseudophakic in both eyes, had persistent anisometropia/aniseikonia. AL and keratometry changes induced by encirclement with broad solid silicone rubber buckles are acceptable and similar to those reported previously using narrow encircling components, being unlikely to induce troublesome symptomatic anisometropia/aniseikonia. Many patients are phakic and develop visually significant cataracts, allowing correction of changes induced with the aim of visual restoration. A minority require more prolonged methods of visual rehabilitation, such as contact lens wear or clear lens exchanges. Caution and appropriate consent should be made in patients that are pseudophakic in both eyes at presentation.

Published: February 2021

Tissue regeneration is an active multiplex process involving the dynamic inflammatory microenvironment. Under a normal physiological framework, inflammation is necessary for the systematic immunity including tissue repair and regeneration as well as returning to homeostasis. Inflammatory cellular response and metabolic mechanisms play key roles in the well-orchestrated tissue regeneration. If this response is dysregulated, it becomes chronic, which in turn causes progressive fibrosis, improper repair, and autoimmune disorders, ultimately leading to organ failure and death. Therefore, understanding of the complex inflammatory multiple player responses and their cellular metabolisms facilitates the latest insights and brings novel therapeutic methods for early diseases and modern health challenges. This review discusses the recent advances in molecular interactions of immune cells, controlled shift of pro- to anti-inflammation, reparative inflammatory metabolisms in tissue regeneration, controlling of an unfavorable microenvironment, dysregulated inflammatory diseases, and emerging therapeutic strategies including the use of biomaterials, which expand therapeutic views and briefly denote important gaps that are still prevailing.

The Jundishapur School
Authors: Söylemez Mehmet Mahfuz
Published: February 2021

Located in the region of Alam (modern Khuzistan), Jundishapur was founded by the Sassanid emperor Shahpur I in 260. This city was home to the Jundishapur school (madrasah), one of the most important science centers in history, that harmonized within itself classical Greek philosophy, Indian culture, and the Persian scientific heritage. This fact becomes clear when one looks at its rich curriculum, which ranges from medical science and pharmacology to philosophy. This complex consisted of several sections, such as a medical school (bimaristan), a pharmacology laboratory, a translation bureau, a library, and an observatory. It also had a deep influence on Islamic culture and civilization through its professors, who, in the early years of `Abbasid rule, began to settle in the capital city of Baghdad and eventually established a similar school modeled on their school in Jundishapur. From that point on, these professors made a significant contribution to Muslim medical science and philosophy.

Published: February 2021

Information about the use of ebook or printed book that use by the digital natives could assist libraries and school professionals in selecting reading materials for their students. The purpose of this study is to understand the experience in using printed books rather than e-books. This study use qualitative and phenomenological study explored and compared the experiences of digital natives in regards to ebooks and printed books. Data collection was carried out through interviews with 26 digital natives in Indonesia with the criteria of reading book more than ebook and at least reading 2 printed books in one month. The result of tis study are printed books have their own uniqueness, such as experience of holding a book, the texture of the paper that can be touched directly (each publisher has a different type of paper), to the fragrance of the book that wafts out as each page is opened, none of these can be replaced with digital technology and when the digital natives use e-book they often distracted by social media. Moreover, due to emotional attachments, connections to identity, social rituals, and an ease of use related to printed books, the participants would not use ebooks exclusively. This study has limitations, namely the number of samples is small, so that future research can increase the sample so that the results can be generalized.

Authors: Nur Tajuddin , Siregar Marsul , Sandra O.B.W. , Bachri Karel O.
Published: February 2021

For this paper, an improvement to a cogging torque reduction technique was studied in regards to integral slot numbers in a permanent magnet machine. An 18 slot/8 pole permanent magnet machine structure was selected and developed, and some axial channels were introduced to the machine’s rotor core. The effects the axial channels had on cogging torque reduction were not studied in detail; however, it was noted that the channels did not disturb the machine’s normal magnetic flux in regards to an air gap. Two slotting steps were used on the edge of the machine’s permanent magnet with slot opening widths of 2 mm and air gap lengths of 1 mm; this was done in order to minimize cogging torque. Three different magnet structures for the permanent magnet machine were then analyzed and compared. The two steps for slotting were found to be best for cogging torque reduction among the three different structures. Finally, simulation results showed that improving slotting steps for magnet edges could significantly reduce cogging torque in permanent magnet machines by up to 98.80%.

Published: February 2021

This article discusses new methods for the analyses of program outcome measurements of an engineering undergraduate program, enabling a robust effort to continually improve the quality of the program. The analyses were conducted on an undergraduate engineering program at University Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), based on program outcome achievements of 80 students undertaking selected courses from 2015–2019. Three techniques were utilized: i.e., graphical visualization of data using boxplots, association analysis using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient, and consistency analysis using Cronbach’s alpha. Using these techniques, the authors identified trends among the courses measuring the same program outcome. Boxplots are very effective in gaining an overview of the achievements of courses measuring the same program outcome, and in highlighting outliers and anomalies in the data. It was also found that the Cronbach’s alpha result is coherent with that of the rank correlation coefficient. The techniques reported in this study can be applied to enhance data analysis for quality improvement of any academic program focusing on outcome-based education. Therefore, the study presented in this paper is both relevant and valuable to engineering programs working towards obtaining international accreditation.

Comparative risk analysis by VaR: an empirical application to ethical market indices
Authors: Derbali Abdelkader , Saleh Hany A
Published: February 2021

In recent years, companies' actions towards factors of production have multiplied. The human dimension is increasingly present in decisions and companies feel socially responsible. The sustainability of companies necessarily requires limiting the negative environmental effects because of these production activities. Ethical finance in general, whether Islamic or not, is a growing demand on the part of consumers and states. The aim of this paper is to assess the risk of two ethically responsible indices such as S&P500 Shariah index and S&P500 Environment and Socially Responsible index. In this paper, we will conduct a comparative study of market risk on two ethically responsible indices: the Islamic Index of the Shariah (S&P500 Shariah index) and the S&P500 Environment and Socially Responsible index during the period from 30/09/2010 to 21/09/2018. The evolution of the market will be represented by the general index of the S&P500. To do this, we use different approaches to value at risk such as VaR parametric approach, VaR non-parametric approach and the Theory of Extreme Values approach. Our results show that, on the one hand, the S&P500 Environment and Socially Responsible index is less risky than the S&P500 Shariah index and the S&P500 index. On the other hand, the S&P500 Shariah index is at low risk when yields are extreme. We conclude that the S&P500 Environment and Socially Responsible index is less risky than the Shariah S&P500 Index when you consider that yields are moving under normal market conditions.
The Relationship Between Financial Development and Economic Growth in The United Kingdom: A Granger Causality Approach
Authors: Wesiah Samuel , Onyekwere Sixtus Cyprian
Published: February 2021

This study aims to investigate the causal relationship between financial development and economic growth in the UK using quarterly data from 1963q1 to 2015q1. Three variables were used as proxies for financial sector development, namely, ratios of broad money supply to GDP, ratios of private sector credit to GDP and the ratios of stock market capitalization to GDP.  Economic growth was measured using real GDP per capita. In order to achieve stated aim, the study employed the Johansen Cointegration test and the Granger causality test within a vector error correction framework (VEC) to test for the existence (or not) of a long run relationship as well as the direction of causality between financial development and economic growth. The result from the Cointegration test indicates that there is a stable long run equilibrium relationship between financial development and economic growth in the UK. The Granger causality test presents evidence of a bidirectional causality. This suggests that financial development and economic growth are mutually causal, that is, causality runs from both side which is in line with the feedback hypothesis in the literature which argue that financial development and economic growth exhibits a two-way causal relationship. In terms of each individual variable, the study finds that while bank credit to the private sector and stock market capitalisation Granger cause GDP per capita, GDP per capita on the other hand, Granger causes broad money supply.

Authors: Raji Rahman Olanrewaju
Published: February 2021

This paper explores the asymmetric nexus between financial inclusion, financial efficiency and financial stability, within asymmetric and symmetric Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) framework, covering the period from 2003 to 2018, using quarterly data in Nigeria. The findings showed that symmetric technique of econometric test detects, that financial stability is augmented by better improvement in financial inclusion in short-run, while asymmetric technique observed that short-run positive effect, and negative effect likewise long-run decrease in this index heightened the level of financial stability in this economy. This study further found trade-off existence, between financial efficiency and financial stability in both symmetric and asymmetric techniques of econometric tests, which is consistent with some empirical findings. The results based on the model and empirical data indicate that, the monetary authority needs to follow prudent and adequate supervisory standard in pursuing financial inclusion, financial intermediaries should be accompanied with good institutional quality, including financial awareness that should be enhanced through financial teachings in all sectors both in the urban and rural areas of the economy.

READING GENRE IN TEACHING AND LEARNING ENGLISH
Authors: Aslamiah Suaibatul
Published: February 2021

Genre is a type or a kind of reading text commonly found in writing. Reading text is one of the four skills that students must master in English. The various types of the text that students learn can help them to improve their skill. Such as narrative, recount, descriptive text and so on. A part from that, the teacher must be able to choose and analyze the right text so that can help the students develop reading and writing skills. The stages in analyzing text are as follows: register analysis, grammatical rhetorical analysis, interactional analysis and genre analysis. The approach used to teach the genre is an approach emphasizing understanding the text production such as grammar, objectives and language features. The characteristic in the genre based approach are language learning as social activity, explicit teaching and apprenticeship teaching. The pedagogical approaches to teach genre are multiple pedagogical approaches to genre, implicit genre pedagogies, explicit genre pedagogies, and interactive genre pedagogies. Besides that, we can use implicit and explicit method approaches in developing genres. Moreover, the benefits from reading genre analysis are the students can understand the content of the text as a whole, both in term of grammar, factions and so on.

Abstract- Vita Viya lumberyard is one of the lumberyard is located on Semangka Street, Bengkulu city. During this time the processing sales data of goods in lumberyard is still done conventionally, namely using sales notes that occur every day. Then, the note data will be made into bookkeeping to find out how many sales of goods occur every month. Management of inventory also only sees the remaining items available in the lumberyard without looking at the sales of the item. The problem that often occurs in Vita Viya lumberyard is the management of inventory, where the building materials have a usage period so that they are not suitable for sale. The application in predicting sales data of goods in Vita Viya lumberyard was made by using the Visual Basic.Net programming language by applying the linear regression method. With the construction of the application can be used as an alternative in predicting the sales data of goods in the following month based on sales data that occurred in the last 2 years starting from January 2017 to December 2018. The 2-year data will be used as a data trend to determine the predicted value of goods sold at 1 year in the future. Based on the testing that has been done, it can be concluded that the application is able to predict the sale of goods for the next 1 year based on sales data that has been inputted previously. Based on the testing of error values using the MAPE and MSE methods, it was found that the error value of the predicted value obtained from the linear regression method used the MAPE method of 0.1244575. While, the result by using the MSE method of 14.25. Keywords: Linear Regression Method, Prediction of Vita Viya lumberyard.

In the latest educational paradigm, the purpose of learning is no longer just to change the behavior of students, but rather to form a professional character and psychological attitudes in all aspects. To achieve this goal requires a motivation. Motivation to learn contained in a person has a very important role in achieving a goal, because motivation can make someone have a strong urge to do something. In this case, the teacher has a significant role in fostering student motivation to achieve learning goals and the needs of the changing times as well as demands for a change in the learning paradigm. Therefore, this article aims to understand the meaning of the learning paradigm and the importance of fostering student motivation in learning activities.
