Authors: Agustin Ghea Paki , Afrizal Afrizal , Irwanto Irwanto
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study was to analyze the indicators of students’ critical thinking skills through the NHT type cooperative learning model on the buffer solution material. The research subjects were 36 students of class XI MIA 2 academic year 2019/2020 at SMAN 45 Jakarta. The research was conducted using qualitative analysis methods by collecting data through observation, discussion sheets, critical thinking skills analysis tests, reflective journals, and student interviews. The research was carried out by applying the NHT cooperative learning model in four meetings through 5 stages of learning, namely conveying goals and motivating students, presenting information, organizing students into groups, guiding study groups, evaluating and giving awards. The results showed that the critical thinking skills of students mostly showed satisfactory criteria. This is evidenced by the achievement of satisfactory criteria on aspects of problem identification in questions, aspects of conceptual understanding, aspects of the ideas connection, aspects of assumptions and aspects of drawing conclusions. The application of the NHT type of cooperative learning model has a positive impact on the development of students’ critical thinking skills through group discussion activities. The conclusion of the study shows that the critical thinking skills of students who achieve satisfactory criteria include three aspects including identification of the problem in question, conceptual understanding and drawing conclusions. Meanwhile, indicators that reach very good criteria contain aspects of the ideas connection and indicators that achieve unsatisfactory criteria contain aspects of assumption.

Authors: Leah Garfield Christensen  , Julie Krogh Nielsen  , Ask Elklit  , Dorte Mølgaard Christiansen
Published: August 2024

Nærværende studie havde til formål at undersøge de positive og negative konsekvenser af deltagelse i digitale fællesskaber med fokus på selvskade. Tre semistrukturerede onlineinterviews blev foretaget med engelsktalende deltagere rekrutteret fra sådanne fællesskaber. I en tematisk analyse fremkom fem temaer: 1) at kunne hjælpe, 2) at kunne relatere til hinanden og blive mødt, 3) at blive negativt påvirket af andres opslag, 4) sammenligning og konkurrence imellem medlemmer og 5) at finde den rigtige balance. Disse fem temaer kastede lys på måder, hvorpå medlemmer af digitale fællesskaber kan blive både positivt og negativt påvirket af fællesskabet, samt hvordan de kan beskytte sig selv fra skadelige konsekvenser og samtidig drage fordel af den støtte, som de finder i de digitale fællesskaber. Disse fund supplerer eksisterende forskning med det personlige perspektiv fra voksne, som selvskader.
Terapirelaterede forandringers flertydighed - mod en kritik af en terapeut- og sessionscentreret forståelse af den psykoterapeutiske praksis
Authors: August Soja Broz  , Jacob Klitmøller
Published: August 2024

Artiklen identificerer og problematiserer den terapeut- og sessionscentrerede tænkning, der florerer inden for psykoterapifeltet. I artiklens første del viser vi, hvordan denne tænkning aktuelt kommer til udtryk på et metateoretisk niveau, hvor en medicinsk og en kontekstuel forklaring af klientforandringer ofte stilles over for hinanden i en todeling af feltet. Mens todelingen har en kompleksitetsreducerende fordel, skjuler den samtidig væsentlige ligheder mellem de to forklaringer. Disse ligheder kan sammenfattes i en grundlæggende overbevisning, nemlig at terapeuten som en del af terapien skaber klientens forandring gennem manipulationen af underliggende virkningsmekanismer. Som en konsekvens af denne overbevisning negligeres klientagens og -refleksivitet sammen med forandringers bredere kontekstualitet. I artiklens anden del skitserer vi på baggrund af Dreier og Mackrills arbejde et alternativt perspektiv, der fremstiller terapirelaterede forandringer som klientdrevne og tværkontekstuelle processer. Vi præsenterer efterfølgende et kvalitativt casestudie, der undersøgte, hvordan en klient under sit terapiforløb løbende genovervejer sine udfordringer og problemer. Vi peger på, a) at skift i klientens forholdemåder forekommer på et flertydigt grund lag, og b) at denne flertydighed efterlader lommer eller rum, der lader klienten afsøge mening, betydninger og sammenhænge i evaluerende relationer mellem forskellige kontekstuelle indflydelser. Tilsammen underbygger fundene, at klientens genovervejelser, som de udspiller sig sideløbende med sessionerne og i deres forbindelser til klientens øvrige liv, bør stå centralt i en konceptualisering af terapirelaterede forandringer.
"Ingen kender 'det rigtige sprog', vi taler allesammen konstant om det"
Authors: Anbert Lærke Cecilie
Published: August 2024

Blandt aktivistiske studerende på UC Berkeley er sprogbrug til konstant forhandling i et forsøg på at bruge de mest hensynsfulde ord i en given kontekst. Som flere andre steder i verden er de studerende optaget af social (u)retfærdighed i universitetets praksis og stiller krav til både sig selv, deres undervisere, administration og medstuderende om større fokus på diversitet og inklusion. På baggrund af etnografisk feltarbejde i 2020-22 undersøger jeg i denne artikel studerendes politiske arbejde med sprog og social forandring på UC Berkeley. Jeg viser, hvordan sprogarbejdet for studerende på UC Berkeley kan forstås som et værktøj til at forandre verden. Sprogarbejdet bliver på denne måde en retningsgivende praksis, hvorigennem aktivistiske studerende kontinuerligt kan efterstræbe større social retfærdighed ved konstant at forsøge at nærme sig uden dog nogensinde fuldstændig at kunne nå „det rigtige sprog“. Ved at trække på antropologiske perspektiver om hverdagsetik (Lambek 2010, 2015, 2021) argumenterer jeg for, at de aktivistiske studerendes sprogarbejde både består i et etisk refleksivt arbejde på selvet og en strækken sig ud mod andre gennem en kultivering af en ydmyg og lydhør indstilling. Dette indebærer blandt andet at acceptere egne og andres fejlbarlighed, såfremt ens intentioner og tilgang til sprogbrug ellers er i overensstemmelse med et mål om mere social retfærdighed.

Authors: Labus Pero , Lukić Nikolić Jelena
Published: August 2024

The aim of this paper is to examine and analyze the perceptions and reactions of women regarding digital services and electronic wine lists in restaurants while making wine ordering decisions. Women make up a significant proportion of population, and that is why is important to comprehend their reactions and impressions of digital services and electronic wine lists in restaurants. The research was conducted with a specially designed questionnaire, involved the participation of 182 women from Croatia and Serbia who used digital services and electronic wine lists in restaurants. Collected answers were processed and analyzed using the Statistical Software for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. and applying Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Levene’s test and Kruskal-Wallis H-test. Research results indicated differences among various demographic groups of women in terms of their perceptions of the educational and functional benefits of using electronic wine list in restaurants. Results showed that younger women, those who frequently visit restaurants and those with less knowledge of wine perceived greater benefits of using electronic wine list in restaurants. This paper enriches the relatively sparse literature on women’s preferences to digital services and wine purchasing behavior, providing valuable insights for restaurant managers and decision-makers regarding women’s preferences for electronic wine lists.

ETHICAL COMMUNICATION ON SOCIAL NETWORKS
Authors: Kulaš Mirosavljević Anita , Martić Branka , Rendulić Ines
Published: August 2024

Communication is a key segment in social and business life. Through new communication channels, which have emerged as the main ones in recent years, social media enable much faster and simpler communication. By following the latest trends and using social media for communication, companies strive to acquire new customers, retain existing customers, survive in the market and compete. Using social networks to create and maintain private and business relationships also requires a certain, acceptable type of behavior. What should be paid attention to are certain limits, ie limitations and responsibilities in the application of this type of public communication. In this case, we are talking about ethics, which represent generally accepted rules that should be applied in relationships. Both in the traditional business world and in the online business world, there are certain rules that users should follow if they want to achieve and maintain healthy business relationships. For users of social networks, it is important to develop an awareness of the responsibility of what is said and written on social networks. Therefore, the application of basic ethical and communication standards, which at the same time represent universal standards, represent a key component in relationships between people. The aim of the paper is to investigate how much employees use social networks during their free time and during working hours, what their behavior is on social networks and whether they think their behavior is ethical or unethical. During the research, people who are employed in the Republic of Croatia were examined. The hypothesis is: Employees often use social networks, most often for private purposes, during working hours. The methodology in this paper uses descriptive statistics that will provide information about the variables in a particular data set and highlight the relationships between the variables in the sample. The results of the research will be shown with the help of a Likert scale. The research concluded that, although social networks are widely represented in people’s lives, their use in the business world has been reduced to a minimal level. Employees follow the instructions and rules regarding the use of social networks during working hours. Acting in accordance with company rules represents behavior in accordance with ethical norms. In the end, it can be said that it is up to individuals how they will use the opportunities offered by social networks. With proper control of behavior on social networks, respect for privacy and rules of conduct will encourage additional growth and development of social networks.
INFLUENCE OF INFLATION ON INVESTMENTS IN THE REPUBLIC OF SRPSKA
Authors: Spasojević Boris , Đukić Aleksandar
Published: August 2024

The aim of this research is to analyze the impact of the inflation rate on foreign direct investments (FDI) and domestic investments in the Republic of Srpska and to determine which of these investments is more affected by inflation. The methods used in the research include quantitative data analysis through regression models, utilizing time series data on inflation rates, foreign direct investments, and domestic investments from 2000 to 2023. Data were collected from official sources such as the Statistical Office of the Republic of Srpska and the Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The main finding of the research indicates that inflation has a statistically significant negative impact on foreign direct investments, while the impact on domestic investments is less pronounced. This difference may be due to the fact that foreign investors are more sensitive to macroeconomic factors such as inflation, whereas domestic investors may be more influenced by local economic conditions and the availability of capital. The research concludes that stable inflation policies can play a crucial role in attracting foreign investments, while additional factors such as improving the business environment and access to financing are necessary to stimulate domestic investments. Research on the impact of inflation on foreign direct investments (FDI) and domestic investments in the Republic of Srpska for the period from 2019 to 2023 showed unexpected results that disproved the first set of hypotheses and proved the third. However, the results of the regression analysis showed that the positive coefficient for FDI (0.021) suggests that an increase in FDI can slightly increase inflation, while the coefficient for domestic investment (0.020) also indicates a positive impact of inflation on domestic investment. Standardized coefficients (Beta) show that domestic investments (0.557) have a greater relative impact on inflation compared to FDI (0.428),These findings can help economic policymakers in the Republic of Srpska formulate strategies that balance inflation and encourage both types of investments, thereby promoting economic growth and development in the region.
Distilroberta2gnn: a new hybrid deep learning approach for aspect-based sentiment analysis
Authors: Alhadlaq Aseel , Altheneyan Alaa
Published: August 2024

In the field of natural language processing (NLP), aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) is crucial for extracting insights from complex human sentiments towards specific text aspects. Despite significant progress, the field still faces challenges such as accurately interpreting subtle language nuances and the scarcity of high-quality, domain-specific annotated datasets. This study introduces the Distil- RoBERTa2GNN model, an innovative hybrid approach that combines the DistilRoBERTa pre-trained model’s feature extraction capabilities with the dynamic sentiment classification abilities of graph neural networks (GNN). Our comprehensive, four-phase data preprocessing strategy is designed to enrich model training with domain-specific, high-quality data. In this study, we analyze four publicly available benchmark datasets: Rest14, Rest15, Rest16-EN, and Rest16-ESP, to rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of our novel DistilRoBERTa2GNN model in ABSA. For the Rest14 dataset, our model achieved an F1 score of 77.98%, precision of 78.12%, and recall of 79.41%. The Rest15 dataset shows that our model achieves an F1 score of 76.86%, precision of 80.70%, and recall of 79.37%. For the Rest16-EN dataset, our model reached an F1 score of 84.96%, precision of 82.77%, and recall of 87.28%. For Rest16-ESP (Spanish dataset), our model achieved an F1 score of 74.87%, with a precision of 73.11% and a recall of 76.80%. These metrics highlight our model’s competitive edge over different baseline models used in ABSA studies. This study addresses critical ABSA challenges and sets a new benchmark for sentiment analysis research, guiding future efforts toward enhancing model adaptability and performance across diverse datasets.

Background

Myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury (MIRI) refers to severe damage to the ischemic myocardium following the restoration of blood flow, and it is a major complication of reperfusion therapy for myocardial infarction. Notably, drugs such as metoprolol have been utilized to reduce ischemia–reperfusion injury. Tanshinone IIA is a major constituent extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. Recently, tanshinone IIA has been studied extensively in animal models for controlling MIRI. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis on the application of tanshinone IIA in rat models with MIRI to evaluate the therapeutic effects of tanshinone IIA.

Methods

A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, the Cochrane Library, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure database, the Wanfang database, and the Chinese Scientific Journal Database to gather studies on tanshinone IIA intervention in rat models with MIRI.We employed SYRCLE’s risk of bias tool to assess study quality. The primary outcome indicators were superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Myocardial infarction area was a secondary outcome indicator. This study was registered at PROSPERO (registration number CRD 42022344447).

Results

According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 15 eligible studies were selected from 295 initially identified studies. In rat models with MIRI, tanshinone IIA significantly increased SOD levels while reducing MDA levels and myocardial infarction area. Moreover, the duration of myocardial ischemia influenced the effectiveness of tanshinone IIA. However, additional high-quality research studies are needed to establish the efficacy and definitive guidelines for the use of tanshinone IIA. Animal studies demonstrated that tanshinone IIA exerted a significant therapeutic effect when the ischemia duration was less than 40 minutes. Tanshinone IIA was found to be more effective when administered via intravenous, intraperitoneal, and intragastric routes at doses above 5 mg/kg. Additionally, treatment with tanshinone IIA at all stages—prior to myocardial ischemia, after ischemia but before reperfusion, prior to ischemia and after reperfusion, and after reperfusion—showed satisfactory results.

Conclusions

Tanshinone IIA enhanced SOD activity and reduced MDA levels, thereby ameliorating oxidative stress damage during MIRI. Additionally, it reduced the myocardial infarction area, indicating its effectiveness in mitigating MIRI-induced damage in rats and demonstrating a myocardial protective effect. These findings contribute valuable insights for developing MIRI treatment strategies.

Este artigo teve como objetivo analisar a capacidade de governança da Advocacia-Geral da União (AGU), com base no indicador denominado “índice de governança pública (iGovPub)” apontado nos relatórios de Levantamento de Governança e Gestão Públicas (LGGP), realizado na AGU, nos anos de 2017, 2018 e 2021. Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados no estudo foram identificar e analisar o comportamento do iGovPub da AGU nos anos de 2017, 2018 e 2021; em seguida verificou-se a dinâmica de funcionamento do Sistema de Governança Corporativa da Advocacia-Geral da União (SGC-AGU); e, por fim, da percepção dos integrantes do SGC-AGU, por meio da aplicação de questionário qualitativo junto aos membros dos colegiados das instâncias estratégica e tático operacional da instituição. Como resultados constatou-se que o modelo de governança corporativa adotado na AGU está alinhado aos princípios e diretrizes de governança estabelecidos pela Administração Pública Federal (APF); que, à luz da avaliação do Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU), a governança corporativa da AGU evoluiu no período de 2017 a 2021, passando do nível inicial ao nível intermediário, corroborando com a percepção interna de que o SGC-AGU contribui para o fortalecimento da estratégia institucional. Este estudo foi limitado pela escassez de publicações sobre governança corporativa no setor público brasileiro, e pela indisponibilidade de agenda da alta administração do órgão para a realização das entrevistas da presente pesquisa. Esta pesquisa contribuiu de forma significativa para revelar as melhorias, bem como o aprimoramento do modelo de gestão da AGU. A originalidade deste artigo se dá a partir do registro de que se trata do primeiro trabalho sobre o tema governança corporativa no âmbito da AGU.

Published: August 2024

Buscando aumentar o sucesso dos agentes de segurança pública nas perícias realizadas em veículos furtados que apresentam o número de identificação adulterado, foi analisado a extensão da zona deformada plasticamente causada pela marcação do caractere em corpos de prova marcados com 2,3 e 5 toneladas de força. Foi utilizado a técnica de microscopia ótica e retífica plana para determinar a profundidade da marcação. Em seguida foi utilizado o ensaio de microdureza Vickers e microscopia ótica para a medição da zona de encruamento tendo em vista que tal zona é diretamente afetada no momento da remoção no ato do crime. Os resultados apontam que existe uma relação ao aumentar a força de marcação com o aumento da profundidade da zona de encruamento, além de ambas as técnicas se mostrarem eficientes para a medição de tais regiões. A profundidade de 0,200mm recomendada pela norma ABNT foi atingida quando se utilizou uma força de 2 toneladas, o que gerou uma camada de encruamento de aproximadamente 0,7mm. Os resultados demostraram que caso a profundidade de marcação fosse ampliada para 0,7mm, uma zona encruada de 1,2mm seria gerada, dificultando muito a sua remoção, torna-se necessário a intensificação dos estudos na área visando a melhoria e comprovação dos resultados e consequentemente o aumento do sucesso em perícias.

A agricultura familiar enfrenta muitos desafios, grande parte motivada pela falta da modernização da produção, devido a carência da adoção de novas tecnologias bem como a necessidade de profissionalização das práticas de gestão dos agricultores. Com os produtores de tomate de Antônio João, localizado no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, não é diferente: uma região que antes era bastante conhecida pela produção de tomate, realizada por pequenos produtores familiares, agora se depara com o declínio da sua produção. Assim, este trabalho
teve por objetivo realizar o diagnóstico estratégico das propriedades agrícolas familiares de tomate no município de Antônio João-MS. O estudo foi realizado através de entrevistas onde 20 produtores que trabalham com agricultura familiar na produção de tomates no município participaram. Os produtores foram caracterizados, e, na sequência, análises uni variadas e bivariadas fundamentaram a elaboração da análise SWOT e construção do Diagrama de Ishikawa. Observou-se que os agricultores apresentam dificuldade no controle gerencial, ficando à mercê de situações que dificultam a compreensão do mercado onde estão inseridos. Concluiu-se que as ferramentas são importantes não somente para os produtores de tomate, mas sim para todos aqueles produtores que compreender melhor seu ambiente de negócio e se situar sobre os problemas, buscando administrar sua propriedade de forma mais eficiente.

Published: August 2024

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of EDTA and some chloride salts of Ca, Cr, Fe and Mg on the initial velocity (Vo) of crude peroxidase from the pulp of watermelon.
Study Design: The study design is In vitro enzyme assay.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted in the Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Life Sciences, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State, Nigeria between in November 2023.
Methodology: The crude peroxidase from the pulp of watermelon was prepared from 10 g of the pulp of watermelon using standard procedures. The initial reaction rate of the enzyme was determined by spectrophotomertically by monitoring the rate of formation of tetraguaiacol, the oxidation product of guaiacol at 470 nm in the absence and presence of varying concentrations of EDTA and the chloride salts of Ca, Cr, Fe and Mg. The total volume of the reaction mixture was 3 mL. The time course for the reaction was determined and the initial velocity calculated.
Results: Results showed that EDTA reduced the activity of the enzyme. This reduction in activity was EDTA-concentration dependent. This suggest the inhibitory effects of EDTA on peroxidase from watermelon pulp. The chlorides salts of Ca, Cr, Fe and Mg were found to be activators of the peroxidase from the pulp of watermelon. This information could be beneficial in industrial application processes where peroxidase from pulp of watermelon is deployed for use.
Conclusion: From this study, it could be inferred that EDTA has the potentials of reducing the activity of peroxidase from pulp of watermelon fruit while the chloride salts of Ca, Cr, Fe and Mg are potentially good activators. This information is very crucial as ongoing research to understand the mechanism of action of peroxidase from the pulp of watermelon fruit continues. Considering the industrial applications of peroxidase, this information contributes to knowledge of how this peroxidase works.

This research aims: 1) to know the description of the needs of the TPACK-based PjBL model; 2) to produce a TPACK-based PjBL model design; 3) to know the feasibility of developing a TPACK-based PjBL model; 4) to know the practicality of the TPACK-based PjBL model; 5) to know the effectiveness of the TPACK-based PjBL model to improve the Four Cs skills of PGSD students at Muhammadiyah University Enrekang. The research and development design uses the Plomp model which consists of preliminary research, prototyping phase, assessment phase. The data collection techniques used were Questionnaire Techniques, and Observation. The research instrument used a learning device validation sheet, a learning implementation observation instrument, a student response instrument, a four Cs skills assessment instrument. The results showed that it was necessary to develop a TPACK-based PjBL model to improve students' four Cs skills. The design of the PjBL-TPACK model in the form of a model book, SAP, LKM, and several research instruments was declared very valid based on expert judgment. The results of the practicality test showed that the TPACK-based PjBL model was proven to be very good, based on the results of observation and implementation of learning and student response questionnaires. Furthermore, the results of the effectiveness test through the assessment of students' four Cs skills show that there is a significant difference in the application of the PjBL model with the TPACK-based PjBL model on four cs skills between PGSD class A students and PGSD class B students.

This research was carried out in an attempt to ascertain the phytochemical screening on selected seaweed species from different barangays in Biri, Northern Samar, Philippines using a descriptive research approach. It also aimed to identify the seaweed species in the study area and determine the three most and least-frequently appearing species respectively, which were subjected to phytochemical screening and the determination of extracts and its physicochemical constituents as conducted from November 2022 to April, 2023. Seaweed samples were collected, identified, and authenticated by an expert.  Specimens were preserved in jars containing 10% formaldehyde and seawater in equal volumes. Fresh samples of the three most frequently appearing and the three least frequently appearing species were used for the screening procedures. Results revealed a total of 44 seaweed species present in selected barangays of Biri, Northern Samar.  The most-frequently appearing species were Ulva reticulata, Hormophysa cuneiformis, and Turbinaria conoides, while the least-frequently appearing species were Hydropuntia edulis, Laurencia papillosa, and Tricleocarpa fragilis. Chemical characterization of these species confirmed the presence of alkaloids, saponin, phenolic compounds, and anthraquinones, although not all of them contained these metabolites.  Lipids and proteins were absent in all species tested.  Meanwhile, the ash content of the samples is relatively high, implying that high amounts of minerals may be found in seaweeds. Thus, the researchers recommend the replication of this research in other areas of the province to document seaweed species and their potential applications in the functional food and nutraceutical industries.  This will help develop natural products with economic or commercial significance to the residents.  Likewise, more specific tests for lipids and proteins in seaweeds may be used in future investigations.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: To analyze the clinical characteristics and influencing factors of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in pediatric patients with newly diagnosed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) during chemotherapy, using a retrospective analysis.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 189 pediatric ALL patients treated at our institution from January 2019 to March 2024. The incidence and related factors of DILI were assessed, including body mass index (BMI), vitamin D levels, absolute neutrophil counts, and the number of blood transfusions.
Results: The study found that the incidence of DILI was 21.34%. Statistical analysis indicated that BMI, vitamin D levels, absolute neutrophil counts, and the number of transfusions were independent factors influencing the occurrence of DILI during chemotherapy in children with ALL (P<0.05). Moreover, DILI presented in various forms, predominantly as hepatocellular injury, mixed type, and cholestatic type, with hepatocellular injury being the most common.
Conclusion: Body mass index, vitamin D levels, absolute neutrophil counts, and the number of transfusions are critical independent factors affecting the development of drug-induced liver injury in pediatric patients with acute leukemia during chemotherapy. In clinical practice, proactive intervention on these factors is essential. Prompt actions such as discontinuing or adjusting medication dosages, hepatic protection, enzyme reduction, and jaundice management are vital to ensure the recovery of all patients.
