Breaking barriers: assessing the efficacy of White Paper 6 implementation in KwaDedangendlale's educational landscape and the impact of the NeuroScreen Tool.
Authors:   , Dlamini Anisa Samkelisiwe
Published: January 2024

The KwaDedangendlale community (Valley of a Thousand Hills) is a notable little settlement near Botha’s Hill outside of the Hillcrest in KwaZulu-Natal in the Pinetown district. Socio-economic barriers that prevent access to high quality education are one of the main problems that South African schools, particularly those in underprivileged areas, must face. This is due to the legacy of the apartheid era that ingrained economic inequality into South African society. White Paper 6 (EWP6) is a new government policy for a single, undivided education system for all learners, including those with disabilities and barriers to learning, in the hope that inclusive education will serve as a fundamental element of a cohesive society (Donohue & Bornman, 2014, p. 2). Through informal stakeholders’ perceptions of and experiences with the NeuroScreen tool, this study aims to understand the perceived impact and value of the tool by exploring stakeholders’ experiences in the classroom and how the available resources help them help learners who are experiencing learning barriers. The study also pinpoints prior interventions, referral protocols, and networks in KwaDedangendlale, aiming to fill the gap by locating new networks and referral systems that might be used in KwaDedangendlale to help learners experiencing learning difficulties. The method used for data collection is interviewing. Semi-structured, one-on-one interviews with secondary school teachers and a member of the Department of Education (DoE) were used to collect data in order to gather opinions on the state of education in the Pinetown district and Thabela Secondary School. The data was analysed using thematic analysis. The list of mapped locations was compiled based on research on the programmes offered there and the establishments’ commitment to helping young people overcome challenges to achievement. The KwaDedangendlale community clearly exhibits a gap in referral systems and referral networks. Because of this, there has not been much growth in terms of nearby educational facilities for the village. The results showed that a lack of support services from the DoE, problems with overcrowding, and the lack of parental involvement continue to be obstacles for teachers in their implementation of EWP6 at this mainstream rural school.
Physiological and biochemical investigations into the reinvigoration of deteriorated Brassica oleracea L. (Cabbage) and Lactuca sativa L. (Lettuce) seeds with antioxidants and inorganic salt solutions.

Published: January 2024

This study focused on reinvigorating deteriorated Brassica oleracea L. (cabbage) and Lactuca sativa L. (lettuce) seeds with antioxidants and inorganic (electrolysed and non-electrolysed) salt solutions. All pre-treatment solutions were applied to fresh (control) and controlled deteriorated (CDd) seeds at 75% viability (P75), 50% viability (P50) and 25% viability (P25). The pre-hydration treatments were compared in terms of their effects on seed germination, seedling vigour, electrolyte conductivity (EC), accumulation of lipid peroxidation products, protein carbonylation (PC), antioxidant enzymes and germination enzymes. The study also investigated the effects of invigorating CDd seeds with selected antioxidants on subsequent seedling growth, gas exchange and photochemistry under greenhouse conditions. Controlled deterioration, in general, resulted in the loss of seed vigour and viability but at higher rates in lettuce than cabbage, and increased EC and PC, and lowered antioxidant and germination enzymes activities in both species. However, significant lipid peroxidation was only recorded in lettuce seeds. Antioxidant pre-treatments enhanced viability of CDd seeds of cabbage at P25 and lettuce at P50 and P25, and improved seedling vigour of fresh, P75 and P50 cabbage, and P50 and P25 lettuce seeds. Antioxidant pretreatments reduced EC and lipid peroxidation in lettuce seeds, while PC was reduced in both species. The treatments also elevated antioxidant and germination enzymes activities in P25 cabbage seeds and P50 and P25 lettuce seeds. The inorganic salt pre-treatments did not enhance percentage seedling production in CDd cabbage seeds. However, in CDd lettuce seeds, Cacontaining solutions and electolysed (cathodic water) treatments promoted percentage normal seedling production and enhanced seedling vigour irrespective of pre-treatment solution pH or seed deterioration level. In the greenhouse studies, certain antioxidants promoted seedling vigour and leaf area in both species and enhanced shoot dry weight and gas exchange in lettuce. In summary, CDd lettuce seeds responded better to both types of invigoration (i.e., antioxidants and inorganic salt solutions) than cabbage seeds, while antioxidants appeared to be relatively more beneficial than inorganic salts in both species. The results suggest that the benefits of certain pre-treatment solutions were based on the enhancement of the activities of key antioxidant and germination enzymes, and the efficiency of photosynthesis at the early stages of growth. The results argue for the use of these seed pre-hydration treatments for mitigating poor stand establishment brought about by seed ageing, and as a useful approach to reinvigorating seeds in long-term storage collections for ensuring global food security.
The experiences of caregiving and the coping strategies of informal caregivers of people with major neurocognitive disorders.
Authors:   , Manyathi Londeka Miranda
Published: January 2024

Caregivers of people with major neurocognitive disorders (MNCD) experience considerable burden, which might lead to psychological difficulties. As a result of their caregiving experiences, it is important for caregivers to develop positive coping skills. This study aimed to explore the experiences and coping strategies of informal caregivers of people living with major neurocognitive disorders. Further, this study was conducted to establish if there are any support programmes available for informal caregivers of individuals with severe neurocognitive impairments. A mixed methods research approach was adopted. Nine informal caregivers were sampled through a non-probability purposive technique. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and psychometric scales on caregiver depression, burden, and coping. Further, data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Psychometric scales were scored and interpreted based on their interpretive manual. The findings suggest that informal caregivers of persons with major neurocognitive disorders endorsed more negative than positive experiences. However, they seemed to cope with the caregiving situation. More active coping strategies, such as acceptance and building resilience, mediate the negative experiences. Informal caregivers reported the availability of respite and psychosocial interventions such as those offered by the Bessie Makatini Foundation. In conclusion, it was recommended that while addressing caregiver needs and creating support interventions, support programs like those conducted by the Bessie Makatini Foundation should consider the various family dynamics.

Published: January 2024

This research was carried out using a literature review method to determine radioprotection cases and repeatability factors of dental images on dental X-rays. Determination of the repeatability factor for dental photographs using data over three months obtained at Rajawali Citra Hospital, RSUD Dr. Tjitrowardojo Purworejo, and RSUD Muntilan Magelang. Case A, case B, and case C produce high percentage values. This is because dental practitioners consider the provision of protection in reducing the scattered dose of dental X-rays for patients to be often overlooked. Determination of X-ray radiation exposure given by a radiographer does not have significant differences for each patient, such as thin, standard, and obese. Meanwhile, the data on the percentage value of repetition of dental images exceeds the Minimum Hospital Service Standard indicator limit by the Decree of the Minister of Health Number 129 of 2008 concerning the incidence of X-ray service failure, which has a photo failure standard of ≤ 2%. The highest position factor was obtained at Hospital-2 at 75%, and the lowest was obtained at Hospital-1 at 50%. Meanwhile, the highest exposure factor was obtained at Hospital-1 at 39% and the weakest at Hospital-2 at 25%. Position errors made by the radiographer cause position factors, and exposure errors are caused by exposure factors that are too high or low.

Diabetic patients are susceptible to severe wound conditions due to high blood sugar levels and bacterial infections. This study aims to determine the formulation and effectiveness of the hydrogel plaster combination of laying hen eggshells with button mushrooms in curing diabetic wounds. The research methods consisted of making the hydrogel, coagulation test, and antibacterial tests. Hydrogels were made with 5%, 10%, and 20% eggshell concentrations. The coagulation activity test used rabbit blood, which was added with glucose. Antibacterial test was performed using Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). This research shows that the coagulation activity of F2 and F3 formulations significantly differed from the control, with an average blood clotting time of 64.67 minutes and 63.00 minutes. The antibacterial test results produced a clear zone for S. aureus and E. coli with diameters of 10.27 mm and 9.18 mm for F2, 6.90 mm, and 11.66 mm for F3. This research concludes that hydrogel formulation 3, with 20% eggshell and 6.4% button mushroom, had the best blood clotting effect and antibacterial activity.

Universidades em transformação? Tensionamentos e possibilidades a partir de múltiplos saberes
Authors: Gonçalves Antônio Augusto Oliveira , Mainardi Camila , Carvalho Tatiana Maciel Gontijo de
Published: January 2024

A presença indígena, quilombola, negra, de lideranças, integrantes de comunidades ancestrais, entre demais sábias e sábios de povos tradicionais nos espaços acadêmicos, têm produzido diversas provocações como tensionamentos quanto a abertura ao diálogo inter e transepistêmico nas instituições produtoras de conhecimento, as universidades. Ocorrem tensionamentos quando se desestabilizam matrizes eurocêntricas e aberturas dialógicas quando outras epistemologias se apresentam.

Considerando a presença de múltiplos saberes nas universidades, que os saberes de povos tradicionais e os saberes acadêmicos não são comensuráveis (Carneiro da Cunha, 2009), nem estão isentos de relações de poder - práticas racistas e epistemicídas são constantemente atualizadas (Carneiro, 2005) -, mas que o ‘encontro’ destes produz transformações nas instituições e fora delas, este dossiê se propôs a compartilhar reflexões e experiências que tratam das relações entre diferentes saberes e seus modos de produção nas universidades ou a partir do encontro - em sala de aula, em cursos de formação docente e em projetos de extensão, como se verá nos textos aqui reunidos - promovido por elas.

Published: January 2024

Abstract This research was conducted to reveal the embodiment of religious character education through school culture. Through a qualitative approach, the case study model of this research uses school principals and teachers as the main respondents. Data collection techniques use interviews and field observations. The collected data was analyzed using the Miles & Huberman model, and its validity was tested using source triangulation and technical triangulation. The results of the research show that religious character education is formed 1) in the habit of congregational prayer, such as Duha prayers, prayers before and after learning, 2) in the form of physical objects, artifacts that have a religious pattern and religious value. All buildings and physical objects are used to strengthen an environment that supports a religious character. 3) a culture of thinking which is manifested in the vision and mission of the Islamic boarding school, the religious thoughts of students and teachers which are expressed in their behavior and spirit of faith. The culture of ideas is realized in everyday life. Its implementation is supported by factors such as adequate capacity and participation of all school children in school culture. The inhibiting factor is a lack of awareness among some students and differences in ability.

Published: January 2024

Children with special needs require special treatment in developing their potential, but parents and educational institutions, including Islamic boarding schools, are not aware of it. This special treatment requires an educational model that can provide comprehensive services to children with special needs. Therefore, the educational model applied by educational institutions will determine the success of education. The accuracy of parents and Islamic boarding schools in understanding children, especially children with special needs, is the main key in determining� curriculum and educational model developed. One of the Islamic boarding schools that maintains and develops the potential of children with special needs is the Ainul Yakin Islamic Boarding School. This boarding school tries to develop the potentials of children with special needs appropriately and efficiently. This paper seeks to reveal and understand why the Ainul Yakin Islamic boarding school manages students from children with special needs?, How does Islamic boarding school classify students from children with special needs? This research is a qualitative research with a case study approach. Collecting research data by means of documentation, observation, and in-depth interviews. The research data were analyzed using the Miles and Hubberman model. This study shows that the Ainul Yakin Islamic boarding school views children with special needs as special pearls and. Second, Islamic boarding schools classify students into three groups, namely independent students, assisted students, and self-help students. Third, the education model in Islamic boarding schools is a practical-applicative education model, namely by students, from students and for students with the main activity is prayer.

This paper presents a feedforwardcompensation with cascaded control scheme (FFC) for the positioning control of a vertical antagonistic based pneumatic muscle actuated (PMA) system. Owing to the inherent nonlinearities and time varying parameters exhibited by PMA, conventional fixed controllers unable to demonstrate high positioning performance. Hence, the feedforward compensation with cascaded control scheme is proposed whereby the scheme includes a PID controller coupled with nonlinear control elements. The proposed scheme has a simple control structure in addition to its straightforward design procedures. Though there are nonlinear control elements involved, these elements are derived from the open loop system responses that does not requires any accurate known parameters. Performance of the FFC scheme are then evaluated experimentally and compared to a PID controller with feedforward compensation (FF-PID) in point-to-point motion of different step heights. Overall, the experimental results show that the effectiveness of the proposed FFC scheme in reducing the steady state error to zero in comparison to FF-PID controller for all cases of step heights examined.
Power-Effective Vedic-Hierarchical Multiplier
Authors:   Universiti Sains Malaysia, Cheng Wong Moon , Arshad Mohd Rizal ,   Universiti Sains Malaysia
Published: January 2024

The motivation of this project is to design a power effective multiplier without having much drawback in term of time constraint and area utilization. This is due to the overall power dissipation which increases in direct proportion to the increase in power density. The area and time constraint are considered as pertinent design parameters with the increase in market demand for high performance and complex portable systems. The current hierarchical multiplier designs suffer on long critical path and large area utilization. These parameters caused the hierarchical multiplier design to be less effective in term of power saving. The objective of this research is to reduce overall power dissipation and ensure that the multiplierachieve timing requirement. This paper proposes the design 1 by using two 4-bit Binary-to-Excess-One Converter (BEC) instead of an 8-bit BEC. The BEC reduce the critical path and cause low power dissipation. Design 2 which is implementation of Carry Select Adder (CSlA) with tristate buffer is to reduce logic elements. The power dissipation is reduced because of the decrease in the number of logic elements which leads to the lower number of logic gates. Both advantages of design 1 and design 2 are combined to become design 3. Design 3 is the lowest power dissipation design because it consists of the lowest number of logic elements and the shortest critical path. The timing requirement for all designs are met as shown by the positive slack time of 9.034 ns, 8.686 ns and 9.404 ns respectively. The power dissipation of the combinational multipliers designs have been improved to 60.96%, 60.89% and 61.02% respectively.

Over the last few decades, the utilization of stingless beeshoney product grew significantly due to its natural therapeutic value in honey. These make the demand for honey rises and tends to have a lot of honey product available in the commercial market. However, the purity of honey can be sceptical whenever it turns up to be added or removed with different substances. Recently, adulteration of honey becomes a complex issue because the highly sophisticated adulteration procedures are continually being evolved and the legislative determination of honey quality indicator is incapable to identify most honey adulteration procedures. Therefore, a comprehensive overview of the method of adulterated honey, including direct and indirect adulteration are discussed in this paper. In addition to this, the detection methods approached by most researchers are briefly explained. All these methods contribute to the knowledge about each aspect of honey authenticity and give beneficial information in oncoming works.

Musafir(مسافر) is a word in Arabic meaning ‘traveler’ which refers to a person who is on a long journey.According to Quran Verse 6:11 “Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who rejected it.”. This verse encourages Muslims to travel while observing what is the end for the people who lie to Allah SWT. Even ifa person is on a journey, in Islam prayer is obligatory and a person must perform religious obligation. Therefore, Allah SWT has given privileges to Muslims while traveling to perform prayers. Since this way of praying is rarely performed, people who travel must have a reference before performing this prayer, and most references nowadays are in the form of non-interactive documents and are difficult to carry anywhere. Therefore, this project aims to develop a mobile application for Muslim travelers which will guide them to perform prayers with privilege. We are using the incremental model methodology to develop this project. In addition, the application will also provide several important features for Muslims to use such as tasbih, Qasar, and Jamaqprayer guidance, Hadith, and prayer times. A selected group of people a chosen to confirm the project's usability. At the end of the research, we found that this project is successfully helping Muslim travelers to perform prayers whether it is in Qasar or Jamaqprayer states. In conclusion, the effectiveness of this application is likely to be extended into the study of other topic areas.

Изучены параметры электрофизического воздействия на семена яровой пшеницы и ярового ячменя. Установлена положительная динамика энергии прорастания и лабораторной всхожести семян зерновых культур, подвергнутых электромагнитному воздействию, по сравнению с контролем. Выявлена тенденция возрастания энергии прорастания и лабораторной всхожести в интервале выдержки от 10 до 30 мин. Высота насыпи также оказывала влияние на параметры прорастания и всхожести. У яровой пшеницы наибольшая энергия прорастания семян зафиксирована при высоте насыпи 0,3 см и времени экспозиции от 20 до 30 мин — 82,4 – 82,6 %, у ярового ячменя при аналогичных параметрах — 62,7 – 62,8 %. Эти значения превышали контроль у яровой пшеницы на 5,1 – 5,5 %, у ярового ячменя — на 3,8 – 4,0 %. Наилучшие морфометрические показатели проростков зафиксированы в вариантах с высотой насыпи 0,3 см и экспозицией в интервале от 20 до 30 мин. В опытах с яровой пшеницей длина проростков превышала контроль на 12,2 – 17,4 %, длина корней — на 11,2 – 17,8 %; в опытах с яровым ячменем — соответственно на 19,2 – 23,4 и 17,1 – 22,8 %.

Установлено, что максимальной биологической эффективностью (95 %) в отношении грибных болезней в течение 24 дней обладают фунгициды, содержащие действующие вещества прохлораз 267 г/л + тебуконазол 133 г/л и дифеноконазол 100 г/л + тебуконазол 250 г/л. Наибольшая урожайность получена в варианте, где применяли фунгицид с действующими веществами прохлораз 267 г/л + тебуконазол 133 г/л с нормой расхода 1,2 л/га — 69,2 ц/га, что на 2,7 – 7,7 ц/га больше, чем в других 5 вариантах. Поскольку масса 1000 зерен напрямую коррелируется с урожайностью, в этом же варианте она была максимальной — 45,4 г. Фитоэкспертиза семян показала, что самое низкое содержание фузариозных зерен было также в этом варианте — 1,0 %. Невысокое содержание фузариозных зерен (1,7 – 2,0 %) имели варианты с обработкой фунгицидами, содержащими действующие вещества дифеноконазол 100 г/л + тебуконазол 250 г/л, КЭ и спироксамин 300 г/л + протиоконазол 160 г/л, КЭ.

Introducción. El conjunto de estrategias de recuperación mejorada después de la cirugía (ERAS, por sus siglas en inglés) constituye un enfoque de atención multimodal y multidisciplinario, cuyo propósito es reducir el estrés perioperatorio de la cirugía, disminuir la morbilidad y acortar la estancia hospitalaria. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo describir los resultados clínicos de pacientes sometidos a cirugía por cáncer colorrectal, identificando las complicaciones principales y los factores perioperatorios relacionados con el alta temprana.
Métodos. Se analizaron los pacientes consecutivos sometidos a cirugía colorrectal entre los años 2020 y 2023, todos los cuales siguieron el protocolo ERAS institucional. Se evaluaron las características clínicas, los factores perioperatorios, los desenlaces postoperatorios y la tasa global de adherencia al protocolo.
Resultados. Un total de 456 pacientes fueron sometidos a cirugía colorrectal, 51% de sexo masculino, con edad media de 60 años. La mayoría de las intervenciones se realizaron por laparoscopia (78 %), con una tasa de conversión del 14,5 %. Las complicaciones postoperatorias incluyeron fuga anastomótica (4,6 %), sangrado, infección intraabdominal y obstrucción intestinal. La estancia hospitalaria promedio fue de 4 días y la mortalidad del 2,8 %. La tasa global de adherencia al protocolo ERAS fue del 84,7 %.
Conclusiones. El enfoque combinado de cirugía laparoscópica y protocolo ERAS es factible, seguro y se asocia con una estancia hospitalaria más corta. La implementación y adherencia al protocolo ERAS no solo mejora los resultados postoperatorios, sino que también resalta la importancia de acceder a datos sólidos, permitiendo mejorar la atención perioperatoria local.

Perspektif Ideologi dan Kekuasaan (Telaah Historis Pemikiran Niccolo Machiavelli)
Authors: Qomariyah Nur
Published: January 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan menyajikan kembali pemikiran Niccolo Machiavelli tentang konsep kekuasaan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan studi kepustakaan (library research), untuk membuka lembar literatur mengenai Niccolo Machiavelli. Setelah ditemukan kesesuaian ataupun terdapat hal yang dibutuhkan didalamnya lalu penulis kumpulkan dan mengklasifikasi untuk dianalisis prospek signifikasinya dengan tema penulisan guna mencapai hasil yang memuaskan. Adapun hasil penelitian ini adalah konsep kekuasaan Machiavelli lahir dari suatu realitas sosial-politik yang terjadi di Florence, Italia. Konsep kekuasaan Machiavelli dianggap menyimpang dari substansi etika dan moral. Bahwa tindakan “menghalalkan segala cara” dalam situasi apapun dinilai tidak efektif. Meski demikian, implementasi kekuasaan Machiavelli dianggap visibel terhadap kepemimpinan para diktator dunia seperti yang terjadi di Eropa. Pada masa Perang Dunia II, masa kepemimpinan Adolf Hitler dan Benito Mussolini menjadi masa representatif bagaimana konsep kekuasaan yang digagas Machiavelli terjadi. Pada masa itu, potret negara dengan sistem fasis, tirani, dan despotik menyerupai gagasan kekuasaan Machiavelli. Berdasarkan hasil library research yang dilakukan oleh penulis, maka ditarik kesimpulan bahwa implementasi kekuasaan yang digagas Machiavelli telah dijumpai dalam sistem kepemimpinan negara dengan tipe kekuasaan serupa.
