Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dinamika tren temperatur ekstrem di wilayah Nusa Tenggara dan dampaknya terhadap sektor pertanian, khususnya tanaman padi. Dengan adanya peningkatan frekuensi dan intensitas temperatur ekstrem yang mengancam produktivitas pertanian, hal ini menjadi suatu permasalahan yang harus diatasi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan menggunakan data sekunder. Data yang digunakan merupakan data harian temperatur maksimum dan minimum dari tiga stasiun meteorologi (Eltari, Sultan Muhammad Salahuddin, dan Umbu Mehang Kunda) selama 40 tahun (1983-2022). Analisis dilakukan menggunakan software RClimDex dan uji Mann-Kendall untuk mendeteksi tren dan perubahan temperatur ekstrem. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya tren peningkatan temperatur ekstrem baik siang maupun malam hari di ketiga stasiun. Kenaikan temperatur ini merupakan indikasi perubahan iklim yang terjadi di wilayah tersebut. Peningkatan temperatur ini juga berdampak signifikan terhadap sektor pertanian, terutama dalam hal ketersediaan air dan produktivitas tanaman padi. Oleh karena itu, perlunya penerapan strategi adaptasi untuk mengurangi dampak negatif perubahan iklim terhadap pertanian di Nusa Tenggara, termasuk pengembangan varietas padi yang tahan panas dan manajemen irigasi yang lebih efisien.
Consumer Willingness to Fly on Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) Aircraft
Authors: Ison David
Published: October 2024

For any novel means of transportation to thrive, its success hinges on the willingness of prospective customers to adopt the new system. To explore consumer willingness to participate in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) by flying on electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, an online survey of 975 individuals in the U.S. was conducted using an existing Willingness to Fly (WTF) scale designed specifically for assessing the acceptance of new aviation technologies and services. Most respondents expressed interest in flying on an eVTOL but planned to wait a few months after service starts before participating in AAM. Overall, the most frequent responses were “agree” and “strongly agree" with being WTF in eVTOLs. The survey offered four different eVTOL flight scenarios, with respondent WTF decreasing as weather or conditions deteriorated. Images of specific eVTOL models were used to assess WTF on each aircraft type. The vehicle with the most unique type of powerplants resulted in the lowest reported WTF. The study also analyzed the WTF of flying on eVTOLs across various demographic attributes. Results showed significant differences between genders, with males having a higher average WTF score. There was a weak negative correlation between WTF and age. Married respondents had the highest WTF, followed by single persons. WTF varied significantly across types of employment, income, and educational attainment. The highest WTF scores were found in the $50,000-74,999 range, with urban respondents having higher WTF than those in suburban and rural locations. Safety and cost were the top two concerns among all levels of WTF. The combination of employment status and marital status was found to be most correlated to WTF. By comprehending the inclination of consumers to travel in eVTOL aircraft, policymakers, manufacturers, and stakeholders can garner valuable insights into market demand, consumer preferences, sustainable transportation, and environmental considerations. Identifying characteristics that support or inhibit customer acceptability can assist in overcoming resistance to adoption and lead to more effective implementation of eVTOLs. Public outreach and education may be warranted to promote familiarity and passion among potential users, increasing interest and involvement. Recommendations for future research include repeating the study with an international sample and exploring willingness to pay for AAM services.
Understanding Collegiate Flight Students' Perceptions and Realities of Depression and Anxiety
Authors: Boyd Grant , Bliss Tim
Published: October 2024

As a result of recent incidents and other circumstances, shared questions and potential problems related to mental health and aviation have surfaced within collegiate aviation programs. The purpose of this study is to provide a better understanding of collegiate aviators’ attitudes toward mental health in aviation, how they manage their mental health, how these practices may transition into their flying careers, and whether the current FAA aeromedical standards are professionally written to protect these and other aviators. The researchers conducted a mixed methods study to identify a common knowledge base of collegiate flight students’ perceptions and realities related to depression and anxiety. Study participants were bachelor's degree seeking flight students from University Aviation Association (UAA) member collegiate flight programs. The received responses were analysed through the perspective of four research questions. In summary, gathered responses indicated that students believe there is a perceived benefit to not disclosing or ignoring mental health and fitness issues, safeguarding their own mental health is one of their primary concerns, and there is a considerable number who would leave the aviation industry if they could no longer fly. Additionally, most students agree that change would be beneficial as it relates to the current FAA medical certification process.

Authors: Galante Anthony , Halawi Leila
Published: October 2024

This study evaluates the impact of the “Police Response to Uncrewed Aircraft Systems Operations” online training program of officers from the Daytona Beach Police Department (DBPD). By measuring the effectiveness of the training through pretest and posttest assessments and considering variables such as educational background, length of service, and rank, this research underscores the training’s potential to enhance UAS response capabilities. Employing a self-selection sampling method, the study engaged 82 voluntary participants from the DBPD, revealing significant improvement across all groups in UAS knowledge and confidence levels. Despite limitations, these findings offer compelling evidence of the training’s efficacy and advocate for continuous education to strengthen law enforcement’s readiness and public safety preparedness in the face of evolving technological challenges. Future investigations should delve into long-term effects and underlying factors to bolster the robustness of these results.
An Examination of the Current State of Examining Authority at Part 141 Pilot Schools
Authors: Rosser Timothy , Mosey Paul
Published: October 2024

In recent years, the airline industry pilot base has experienced significant turnover. As a result, there has been a corresponding need for qualified pilots to fill open pilot positions, therefore an increased need to train and certificate those pilots. A main source for training larger numbers of pilots has been FAA part 141 pilot schools. Most of the part 141 pilot schools train student pilots to proficiency and send those students to a FAA Designated Pilot Examiner for the check ride. A much lower number of part 141 pilot schools are approved for Examining Authority, which allows the school itself to conduct rating and certificate check rides in house. The process for a school to receive FAA approval is outlined in FAR 141.63 and 8900.1, and in some ways, appears to be open for interpretation. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of process requirements associated with FAA Examining Authority approval. The study also aimed to investigate the different Examining Authority approval requirements as set forth by individual Flight Standards District Offices. In addition, the researchers sought to discover whether pilot schools who perceived Examining Authority approval to be too difficult to pursue, would reconsider if those requirements were easier to obtain. A survey was conducted with part 141 pilot schools to gain an understanding of school perceptions of the process, and to examine whether individual FSDOs follow the same process and expect the same requirements. Survey findings showed that there were significant differences in Examining Authority approval requirements between different FSDO offices. Additionally, several pilot schools stated that they would consider, or reconsider application for Examining Authority if the FAA relaxed some approval requirements.
Quieted Voices: A Phenomenological Analysis of the Experiences of Black/African-American Collegiate Aviation Students
Authors: Johnson Theodore Wesley
Published: October 2024

The aviation industry lacks racial and gender diversity. It is White-male dominated, with 94% of professional pilots identifying as White males, only 3.4% identifying as Black Americans, and less than 5% are female. Research focusing on the participation rates and experience(s) of Black Americans in aviation is scant. The purpose of this study was to understand the experience(s) of Black American collegiate aviation students so higher education and aviation industry leaders could make informed policy decisions and rectify inhospitable work environments, respectively. A phenomenological approach was used to capture the phenomenon via semi-structured interviews of 10 participants. The study revealed three major battles Black aviation students fight due to external and/or internal pressures, which significantly impact their collegiate experience(s) and, to a certain degree, retention. Being a Black woman or a “double only” in an underrepresented space yielded an experience that Black males were unaware of and did not experience but made the collegiate experience of a Black woman very different than that of their male counterparts. Additionally, a student’s involvement in a community of support seemed to be a notable difference-maker in one’s collegiate experience(s). These communities provided salient socio-emotional support for students, helping reduce instances of social isolation and assimilation many of the participants described. Pointed recommendations on how to improve the retention of Black students and Black Americans in collegiate aviation programs and the aviation industry, respectively, were furnished to conclude the study, which were aimed at higher education and industry leadership.

It analyzes how these ethical principles apply to pilot behavior and their impact on safety, professionalism, and trust within flight operations. This paper argues for a culture of integrity and responsibility among aviation professionals and highlights the criticality of ethical leadership concerning pilot performance. Additionally, it outlines potential areas for future research, including empirical studies on pilot behavior and the development of targeted ethical training programs for flight crews, aiming to enhance ethical standards and practices in aviation.
A Case Study on Community Care Using Social Economy : Focusing on ‘Busan Our Village Alternative Family Project’ from the Perspective of Building Social Capital of Participating Residents
Authors:   Korean Academy of Integrated Care Management, Son Ji-Hyeon , Park Moo-Il
Published: October 2024

This study began with a question of whether social economy could have a differentiating effect from existing service areas on ‘community care’. This is because it is appropriate to understand social economy as a means to achieve specific goals, rather than simply expanding the supply of services. The value of social economy as a tool in community integrated care was summarized as ‘community recovery’ and ‘cooperation’. It could also result in social capital. To this end, a case study was conducted focusing on ‘Our Village Alternative Family Project in Busan’. The analytical framework was revised to organize the organizational life history into three stages: ‘preparation and creation’, ‘application and growth’, and ‘change and crisis’. Through this case, we were able to confirm the role of our village corporation, a support organization, in the process. We organized the impact (positive/negative) of changes in the external environment related to the business. Ultimately, these contents led to resident participation and restoration of community spirit. The role of social and economic activities in achieving these goals was also confirmed. Based on these results, discussion necessary for related businesses is provided. Significance and limitations of this study are also proposed.

Authors: Darwish Atef , Darwish Dina
Published: October 2024

Omental adhesions to the anterior abdominal wall are a common complication of abdominal surgery. Specific adhesions to the back of the umbilicus represent a challenge for safe laparoscopic access. In this case report, we describe a simplified two-port laparoscopic access procedure for retro-umbilical adhesiolysis. We concluded that successful adhesiolysis of retro-umbilical adhesions using the sequential Darwish and Lee-Haung points is feasible, and this procedure is a safe, minimally invasive alternative to the primary laparoscopic approach.
Adverse drug reactions reported over 5 years in a regional university hospital
Authors: Lee Jaechun , Cho Daehong , Kim Cheol-Woo
Published: October 2024

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are closely associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates, prolonged hospitalization durations, and higher healthcare costs. This study aimed to estimate the incidence, clinical features, and reporting status of ADRs to improve the current ADR reporting system and prevent recurrent ADRs in hospitals. This retrospective study was conducted at a regional referral hospital. Patients diagnosed with ADRs over a 5-year period (2009-2014) were recruited for this study. An ADR was identified as an ADRrelated diagnosis in a patient’s medical record or an ADR registered through the inhospital ADR reporting system. The incidence, culprit drug, clinical manifestations, reporting source, severity, related management, and recurrence rate were assessed. Among 1,112 patients, 1,375 ADR events were collected, an estimated 0.06% of the total number of patient visits. Diagnostic contrast agents (46.4%) were the most common culprit drugs, followed by antibiotics (22.0%), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (9.9%), and opioids (4.5%). Skin reactions (67.5%) such as rashes and hives were the most frequent manifestations. Additional ADR-related medical attention was necessary in two thirds of cases. One hundred eighty ADR events (13.1%) were categorized as severe, and 19 patients (1.4%) experienced re-exposure to the culprit drugs. Four patients (0.3%) experienced fatal ADRs. Physicians were the most frequent ADR reporters in the in-hospital ADR reporting system. In conclusion, many ADR events may be overlooked, and re-exposure to causative drugs commonly occurs. Continuous education and maintenance of a reporting system may be important for preventing recurrent ADRs.

Authors: Udo M.D. , Ugbe B.A. , Eyoh G.D. , Udo E.M. , Ekpo U.E.
Published: October 2024

The study evaluated the effect of different processing methods (boiling,
toasting and soaking) on the nutrient and of wild aerial yam (Dioscorea
bulbifera). One kilogram of raw wild Dioscorea bulbifera (RWDB) was boiled
for 30 minutes at 100?C, another one kg was soaked for 24 hours. Toasting
of another one kg of Dioscorea bulbifera tubers were carried out for 30
minutes. The raw and processed tubers were dried, milled and chemically
analysed for proximate compositions, phytochemical components, minerals and
amino acid content. Mean dry matter, crude protein, lipid, fibre, ash and
carbohyd-rate contents of boiled wild Dioscorea bulbifera meal were 10.86%,
89.14%, 11.63%, 32.28%, 4.10%, 3.61% and 66.53% respectively. There were
significant differences (p<0.05) in all parameters for all the processing
methods. RWDB meals was a good source of Calcium (0.27%), Phosphorus
(0.38%), Magnesium (0.29%), Potassium (0.75%), Sodium (0.25%), Iron
(56.78%), Copper (9.91%), Zinc (52.87%), Manganese (17.51%) and Cobalt
(0.52%). Increase in contents of macro and micro minerals were observed
during toasting and these were significantly (p<0.05) superior to raw and
other processing methods. Values obtained for soaked WDB meal were
significantly lower (p<0.05) in all the phytochemical substances (tannin
0.0012, oxalate 1940, flavonoid 0.002) determined, while boiled WDB meal had
the least HCN. Boiling process improved the amino acid profile of WDB meal,
and there were significant differences (p<0.05) in all its parameters.
Boiling compared to other methods appeared to be the best in terms of
nutrient content, anti-nutritional factors and amino acid profile, therefore
stands as the preferred method for preparing WDB as a livestock feed
ingredient
Chromium nanostructured coatings formed by the PVD method
Authors: Saydakhmedov Ravshan , Saidakhmedova Gulirano
Published: October 2024

Practical interest in materials with high physicomechanical properties has
increased in nanomaterials and, in particular, nanocoating. First of all,
it is the protection of metals from corrosion, the increase in wear
resistance of parts and tools, and reflective properties. Environmentally
friendly technologies are used in the vacuum sputtering process of producing
chromium-based coatings. Consider the technological capabilities of a
magnetron-sputtering vacuum system. It was proposed to pretreat the surface
of the substrate with argon ions before applying the chrome plating. For
this purpose, a designed ion source and a magnetron sputtering device for
the chromium cathode are located in the chamber. Chromium-based
nanostructured coatings formed by magnetron sputtering with preliminary
treatment of the surface with an ion source are investigated. During the
measurements, the thickness, adhesion strength, and corrosion resistance of
chromium coatings were deter-mined. The strong corrosion resistance of
samples with chromium-based coatings was demonstrated by their chemical
resistance in nitric and hydrofluoric acid solutions. The novelty of this
work was the effect of the thickness of the chromium-based nanostructured
coating on the corrosion resistance. With an increase in coating thickness,
the corrosion resistance of chromium coatings changes several times. For
coatings less than 1 micron thick, the number of corrosion points (pores in
the coating) was 5-10 times larger than for coatings 2.3-2.5 microns thick.
The size and surface appearance of nanoparticles in the chromium coating
structure were examined using electron microscopy. It was revealed that,
depending on the formation modes, the coatings consist of crystallites with
sizes ranging from 45 nm to 200 nm.

Authors: Obodovych Oleksandr , Sydorenko Vitalii , Tselen Bogdan
Published: October 2024

One of the most important stages in the creation of a number of spirits is
aging. The aim of the work is to study the effect of discrete-pulse energy
input on the physicochemical parameters of oak extracts. It was determined
that it is most effective to process oak chips in a rotor-pulsation
apparatus with a flow shear rate of 50? 103 s-1 and a duration of 11 hours
and an extractant strength of 60% by volume. An increase in the extraction
temperature from 25 to 40?? contributes to an increase in the optical
density of solutions from 0.64 to 0.78 units, while energy consumption does
not increase. It was determined that when the solid/liquid ratio decreases
from 1:10 to 1:20, the content of tannins in the extract decreases almost
twice. The dependence of the change in the average surface diameter of oak
particles on the processing duration in the rotor-pulsation apparatus was
determined at a flow shear rate of 50? 103 s-1, a solid/liquid ratio of
1:10, a temperature of 40??, and an ethanol concentration of 60% vol. The
most intensive dispersion took place in the first two hours. The particle
size decreased by more than 2000 ?m. After 4 hours of processing, the
reduction was 150 ?m, and after 6 hours - 100 ?m. Further processing from 6
to 12 hours led to a decrease in the size of the particles by 50 ?m. The
maximum concentration of tannins was 7.4 g/L with an average particle size
of 400 ?m, which corresponds to 10-12 hours of processing.

Published: October 2024

In this study, the processing of a luminescent ceramic material based on
strontium aluminate doped with rare earths (Europium and Dysprosium) was
carried out. For this purpose, an intense mixing of the precursor materials
(Al, Al2O3 and SrCO3) was carried out, with the addition of Europium and
Dysprosium. After mechanical milling, precursor powders have sizes smaller
than 1 micrometer, and there is a good distribution of powder size. The
presence of aluminum in the precursor materials is explained by the desire
to obtain nanometric alumina from it, according to the aluminum oxide
bonding reaction process (RBAO). The progress of Al2O3 and SrAl2O4 formation
was monitored by XRD analysis of the formation of intermediate phases during
heat treatment through interrupted tests at different temperatures.
Thermogravimetric analysis was also carried out to determine the oxidation
temperatures of Al and decomposition of SrCO3. Finally, the analysis by
optical emission spectroscopy indicates wavelengths in agreement with the
electronic structure of the elements in the SrAl2O4:EuDy.

Published: October 2024

Flexible polymers modified with copper sulfides have emerged as a novel class
of materials, presenting composite structures with remarkable properties
suitable for applications in flexible electronics. This study focuses on the
deposition of copper sulfide (CuxS) layers onto the surfaces of polyamide
and polypropylene through the chemical bath deposition method, employing
either 2 or 3 deposition cycles. The objective is to explore the impact of
deposition cycles and discern the optimal conditions for the deposition
process. Comprehensive analysis of the CuxS thin films entails techniques
such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, UV-VIS
spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction to shed light on their structural and
optical characteristics.
Utilizing Factorial Modeling to Probe Multifaceted Mechanical Properties of Polymer Composites
Authors: Girard Hande , Utku Durdu Hakan
Published: October 2024

Design tasks involving multiple complex requirements and constraints reveal the need for extensive materials research in the aerospace industry. This process requires researchers to innovate materials that conform strict design specifications. Reasons given for the advancement of materials neither abrogate material testing requirements nor supersede simplified design approaches. Structural design requires precise tracking of the elastic and strength properties of materials. Hence, tensile, flexural, and interlaminar shear properties are evaluated by the two-factor analysis method in this study. It provides a detailed search and analysis for every conceivable combinations of the factors’ levels through each complete test. The factorial modeling is proposed as a useful method while performing analysis on the mechanical properties rather than roughly providing averaged values for the tested materials.

Published: October 2024

Background and purpose: Regional nodal irradiation (RNI) for breast cancer delivers radiation in proximity to the shoulder and torso, and radiation exposure may contribute to long-term upper extremity and postural morbidity. To date, no studies have assessed the differential dosimetric impact of proton versus photon radiation on shoulder and torso anatomy. This study examined clinically relevant musculoskeletal (MSK) structures and assessed the dose delivered with each modality.
Patients/material and methods: Ten MSK structures were contoured on IMPT (intensity-modulated proton therapy) and VMAT (volumetric modulated arc therapy) plans for 30 patients receiving RNI. Relevant dose metrics were compared for each of the structures. Intensity-modulated proton therapy dose was calculated using the relative biological effective value of 1.1. Hypo-fractionated plans were scaled to the equivalent dose in 2 Gy fractions (EQD2) using an alpha/beta ratio of four. Wilcoxon signed rank sum tests compared doses. Select three-dimensional and optimised VMAT plans were also informally compared.
Results and interpretation: Each of the 10 structures received a statistically significantly lower dose with the use of IMPT compared with VMAT. Differences were greatest for posterior structures, including the trapezius, latissimus dorsi and glenohumeral joint. Mean absolute differences were as great as 23 Gy (supraspinatus D5cc) and up to 30-fold dose reductions were observed (deltoid D50cc). An average 3.7-fold relative dose reduction existed across all structures. Measures of low/intermediate dose (V15Gy and D50cc) showed the largest differences.
Intensity-modulated proton therapy results in statistically lower radiation exposure to relevant shoulder and torso anatomy compared to photon radiation for patients requiring RNI. Prospective study is needed to correlate functional outcomes with radiation dose.
Clinical Audit of Drug Prescription for Skin Disorders in Dermatology OPD at A Tertiary Care Centre
Authors: P Rutoo , S Mauli , P Nair
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Clinical audits are part of continuous quality improvement process that focus on specific issues or aspects of health care and clinical practice. There is growing concern about inappropriate drug utilization and prescribing habits of practitioners at all levels of health services. The cost of irrational use of medicines is enormous in terms of scarce resources and risk of adverse drug reactions. There is a paucity of data regarding prescription practices particularly in the dermatology department, so present audit was conducted. Materials and Methodology: This prospective prescription audit was carried out in Skin OPD of tertiary care centre amongst 100 prescriptions for duration of two months from November to December 2022. Demographic details and details of medications were recorded in a prestructured proforma and statistical analysis was done using descriptive studies. Results: In the current audit, 100 prescriptions were reviewed of which maximum prescriptions (33%) had a total of 3 drugs prescribed followed by 5 drugs in 22% of the prescriptions. Almost half, 45% prescriptions had 2 topical drugs and total 36% prescriptions had 2 systemic drugs given. In topical medications, 41% had moisturizers, 33% had antifungals. In systemic medications, 65% were anti-histaminic, 28% were antifungals. The frequency, strength, brand name and generic name were mentioned for topical and systemic drugs in 96% and 97% respectively .Total 14% of the prescriptions had FDCs. The average cost of prescription was Indian rupees 374.38. Discussion: Rational prescription writing is a talent that is learned via practise. Irrational prescriptions unnecessarily increase cost and duration of treatment. Drug interactions, medication resistance, and adverse drug reactions are also brought on by such activities which raises patient’s mortality, morbidity, and financial burden. Conclusion: This audit serves the purpose of evaluating prescriptions and further motivating such regular checks to improve patient outcomes.

Reshaping Development for Energy Sustainability in Permacrisis
Authors: IG* Pop
Published: October 2024

The paper presents the transitions between different levels of the metacrisis (permacrisis, policrisis) identified, the main strategy in this context being to discover the possible “black swan” of energy, resource technologies, or solutions and to break the vicious circle of staying at the lower level of development which deters the creation of the right dynamic equilibrium, with real sustainability at all levels, in dynamic local and global processes. A new transdisciplinary pattern for permacrisis is introduced, with energy becoming a very important part of the problem. The M.E.N. energetic concept assures the integration of the circular economy in the global necessary model for a new sustainable economy, with a lot of risks, threats, and disasters, in a continuously changing way. It is important to keep reaching certain goals of the sustainable development ideology, but at the same time to create the desirable right dynamic equilibrium in the context of permacrisis aimed to provide up-to-date solutions to the environment, society, and economy problems as an ENSEC integrative transdisciplinary model. Some of the possible solutions for the searched “holy grail” of energy are also presented.
A Discourse Analysis of Clear-Web Paedophile Communities
Authors:   , Marsh-Rossney Rosie
Published: October 2024

Child sexual abuse and exploitation is one of the most paramount issues facing our society. This global problem has been exacerbated in the digital age through increased access to technology, anonymity tools, and platforms enabling communication between paedophiles and children. These offenders also congregate in online communities with likeminded individuals to interact with each other and trade child sexual abuse material. Despite their central role in facilitating offending, online paedophile communities remain grossly understudied, particularly using linguistic methods. Thus, this research aims to increase understanding of how these communities are formed, maintained, and participated in – as well as how members construct their identities and express their attitudes to each other. The dataset, provided by UK-based law enforcement, comprised over 100,000 words of approximately 1,600 offenders interacting in clear-web social media chatlogs. A qualitative discourse analysis approach was employed: beginning with a thematic analysis and followed by a computer-mediated discourse analysis within these themes to address the study’s aims. The results revealed that offenders gained access to thriving online networks of paedophiles, trading abusive material; discussing or planning crimes; sharing advice on security measures; teaching technological skills; and forming relationships with one another. Offenders constructed their identities as paedophiles and community members through displays of knowledge about offending, using community-specific language, adhering to behavioural etiquette, and asserting their sexual interests. The groups also provided a supportive echo-chamber that reinforced cognitive distortions and proliferated a pro-paedophilia ideology. This thesis provides a novel insight into the private interactions of paedophiles on the clear-web through the deployment of linguistic methods. The findings support the suggestion that membership of online paedophile communities may be an aggravating factor in offenders posing an increased threat of harm to children.

Peningkatan jumlah penduduk, didukung oleh fasilitas umum dan aksesibilitas yang memadai, menjadi pendorong utama di balik perkembangan pemukiman dalam periode 2019 hingga 2023. Dampak yang mencolok dari permintaan yang terus meningkat tercermin pada kenaikan nilai lahan di Kawasan Permukiman Kecamatan Rembang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami perubahan dalam penggunaan lahan pemukiman dan nilai tanah selama periode tersebut, menggunakan teknik overlay. Analisis regresi curve estimation dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh perubahan luas lahan, aksesibilitas, dan fasilitas umum terhadap nilai tanah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya perubahan pengggunaan lahan pemukiman sekitar 1,05071 km2 di tahun 2019-2023. Peta Perubahan Nilai Tanah di Kawasan Permukiman Kecamatan Rembang mengidentifikasi nilai tertinggi di zona 43 sebesar Rp.8.734.000 dan nilai terendah di zona 103 sebesar Rp.19.000. Faktor yang paling berpengaruh terhadap perubahan nilai tanah adalah jarak zona ke Pasar Rembang. Secara keseluruhan, hasil analisis tetangga terdekat (ANN) menunjukkan pola persebaran pemukiman yang terkelompok dengan skala T atau NNR sebesar 0,0824197.

Analisis multi kriteria spasial (Spatial Multi Criteria Analysis/SMCA) banyak digunakan para peneliti untuk melakukan untuk penelitian  lingkup geografi. Salah satunya adalah bagaimana menetapkan kawasan lindung di suatu wilayah, yaitu Kota Serang, Banten. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mereviu kembali seperti apa penetapan variabel jarak sempadan pantai untuk proses analisis SMCA. Penetapan kriteria melalui reviu literatur, baik dari sisi regulasi yang berlaku maupun dari artikel ilmiah.
Berdasarkan hasil reviu,  disimpulkan variabel sempadan pantai diukur dari garis pantai ke arah daratan sejauh 100 – 300 meter. Nilai kriteria minimal adalah 100 meter, sedangkan nilai kriteria 200 meter dan 300 meter dapat diatur sesuai tingkat risiko bahaya yang menyertainya. Area sepanjang pantai utara Kota Serang yang berbatasan dengan Laut Jawa termasuk kedalam kawasan lindung. Area tersebut harus dijaga kelestariannya dan sangat dibatasi terhadap  pembangunan

This study analyzes the case of a high school “robot” class to evaluate the impact of “robot” and “engineering” education within the 2022 revised high school technology and curriculum and to derive implications and class management strategies. To achieve the study’s objectives, the concept and educational use of robots, along with the subject of “robot and engineering world” in the 2022 revised high school technology and curriculum were considered. The primary background and participants are the teacher who conducted the “robot hardware development” class, which was opened as an inter-school common in the S area in Seoul, and 23 students who participated in the class. The “robot hardware development” class was held every Saturday morning for 4 hours from April to July 2024, totaling 34 sessions. The researcher collected videos, student robot projects, and robot production portfolios created during class and interviewed two students to gather and analyze data.
The results of this study are as follows:
First, the “robot hardware development” class was conducted in 34 sessions, divided into two main stages: cultivating essential knowledge for robot development and executing robot hardware development projects. During the first stage, students developed an understanding of the robot development process through team building, instructional guidance, digital authoring tools, and class discussions. In the second stage, students engaged in hands-on activities were conducted to directly produce robots in the order of tinkering, making, sharing, and improvement.
Second, an analysis of the “robot hardware development” class revealed three key characteristics: “hands-on activities,” “repetitive processes of failure and challenge,” and “cooperation with colleagues.”
This study was conducted to offer insights on how to incorporate the “robot” emphasized in the 2022 revised high school technology curriculum within a semester or a single grade class. The findings suggest directions for future research on robot classes and can serve as foundational data for the next curriculum revision.
Practical Arts Education from the Perspective of H. Arendt’s Vita Activa: The Meaning of the Made World as an Object of Inquiry and Its Educational Implications

This study aims to explore the implications of the “made world” as an object of inquiry in Practical Arts education through the lens of Hannah Arendt’s ideas, with a focus on the descriptive limitations of this inquiry object in the field. A school subject can fully embody its pedagogical aspects when its goals, character, and methods are examined through its object of inquiry. Therefore, this study seeks to investigate the meaning of The “made world” based on Arendt’s discussion of human conditions and active life.
Arendt demonstrates that human conditions are intertwined with an active life, which includes labor, work, and action. She defines “labor” as fulfilling the necessities of life as beings with life, “work” as the activity that creates an objective world shared with others, and “action” as the activity through which one reveals their unique humanity among diverse individuals. Additionally, she identifies the home as a representative private sphere where life’s necessities are met while work a formative activity of the world, which becomes the prototype of technology, both serving as the two pillars of Practical Arts education. Moreover, action, which manifests one’s existence through contextual interaction with others, is understood as “praxis.” This suggests that Practical Arts education should be understood as praxis and can also be interpreted in terms of the significance of the work-oriented education within the field.
The “made world,” as viewed through Arendt’s concept of active life, is a network that connects humans to the world, linking individuals to others, as well as to people from the past, present, and future. Moreover, this made world is a dynamic, continuously reconstructed and evolved through human interest and participation, ultimately reflecting the essence of humanity.

Fenomena bunuh diri mahasiswa mewarnai banyak pemberitaan media dan unggahan sosial media di Indonesia dalam rentang periode tahun 2023-2024. Tingginya aksesibilitas internet membuat pemberitaan tentang hal tersebut berpotensi untuk dibaca secara daring melalui media siber. Penelitian ini memotret pemberitaan bunuh diri mahasiswa yang dilakukan detik.com pada tahun 2023 - 2024. Secara umum pemberitaan detik.com masih belum optimal. Belum semua pemberitaan detik.com memiliki unsur kelengkapan berita. Sebagian berita masih bersifat multitafsir. Pemberitaan media ini juga berpotensi untuk memicu terjadinya aksi serupa. Sebagai pelopor media siber detik.com tidak melakukan upaya untuk memotivasi adanya tindakan preventif aksi serupa. Meskipun demikian, media ini memberi ruang privasi pada korban sekaligus menjadi kontrol sosial bagi lembaga pendidikan tinggi untuk lebih peduli pada isu ini. Metode penelitian analisis isi kuantitatif digunakan sebagai pisau analisis dalam penelitian ini.
During the years 2023-2024, news stories from the media and social media posted in Indonesia contained suicidal action by the university students. The news stories are potentially read by the public through the online media as the impact of the high number of internet accessibility in Indonesia. This research portrayed the university students suicidal action phenomenon that was published on detik.com during that time. In general, the way detik.com covered this issue through their news was less optimal. Detik.com news stories are mostly lacking in news element completeness. Some of the news stories are multi-interpretable. Their news stories are potentially motivating the same suicidal actions. As the pioneers of Indonesian online media, they should prevent the same action in the near future through their news. On the contrary, detik.com is still concerned about the privacy issue for the suicide perpetrators. They also play their role as the social control for motivating the higher education to be more aware of this issue. Quantitative content analysis is used for answering the research questions and analyzing the research result.
