This research was conducted by carrying out three stages, namely data provision, data analysis, and the stage of presenting data analysis. The results of this study found that the distribution of beh particles can be at the beginning of the sentence and at the end of the sentence. The form of the particle beh at the beginning of a sentence can be followed by several categories of word classes such as pronouns, nouns, particles, interrogatives, to verbs. The distribution of the beh particle at the end of a sentence can be preceded by adverb, verb, interrogative, up to, noun word class categories. The type of particle beh can occupy several types of particles such as emphases, softeners, and complements depending on the sentence.
PENGETAHUAN GENERASI MUDA BANJAR ATAS LEKSIKAL FLORA DAN FAUNA KALIMANTAN SEBAGAI WACANA PELESTARIAN LINGKUNGAN
Authors:   Universitas Brawijaya, Aisyah Siti Sophia
Published: March 2024

This study aims to reveal Malang Banjarese’s young generation foreigner knowledge on Borneo flora fauna lexical and it’s used in terms of phonology and grammatical. An instrument in this research is a questionnaire that contains flora fauna lexical from Banjarese literature. The literature is folklore, folksong, rhyme, proverb, and poetry. There are 60 subjects taken based on specific criteria. Interviews were conducted to 10 persons. In addition, focus group discussion is held to reveal some data that may not be revealed through the questionnaire. The research results show that Banjarese’s young generation knowledge on Borneo flora and fauna lexical is dominant in “very low” prologue. On the other side, there’s phonological process found in bidawang lexical as sound substitution and neutralization so it’s turned into pidawang, didawang, and di gawang. Di gawang pronunciation changes the meaning from ‘animal’ to ‘wicket’. This is caused by deforestation that makes the younger generation of Banjarese’s doesn’t know that bidawang is an animal because this animal can’t be found in the wild. On the other hand, there’s a gap in this study (research gap) as this research does not provide all the young generation of Banjarese’s in early adolescence or young generations of Banjarese’s that weren’t going overseas or have a different background. Hence, this study can be developed by widening the scope of the research subject (in this case the young generation of Banjarese’s).
PLC BASED SCADA SYSTEM DESIGN FOR INSTANT MONITORING AND EARLY WARNING MECHANISM OF TOXIC GASES IN UNDERGROUND MINES
Authors: İlten Erdem , Ünsal Mehmet Emin
Published: March 2024

In this study, a real-time toxic gas measurement and early warning mechanism is proposed to prevent accidents that may occur in underground mining facilities. Temperature, oxygen (O2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO) and dust density sensor data are read via Arduino Mega analog inputs. All sensor data is transferred to the PLC-SCADA (Programmable Logic Controller - Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system via ethernet in real time. Thanks to the designed SCADA screen, sensor values can be monitored instantly. In addition, it can be checked whether the system is alarm and whether the ventilation system works. According to the underground coal mine regulations, work cannot be done in places where the mine air contains less than 19% oxygen, more than 2% methane, more than 50 ppm (0.005%) carbon monoxide and other hazardous gases. The highest permissible hydrogen sulfur ratio for 8 hours of operation is 20 ppm (0.002%). An early warning mechanism was created with the algorithm written taking these limits into consideration. The tests of the designed system were carried out in a laboratory environment and successful results were observed.

Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

Sarcopenia is characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle mass and muscle function with increasing age. The skeletal muscle mass of the elderly who suffer from sarcopenia may be improved via the practice of strength training and Tai Chi. However, it remains unclear if the hybridization of strength exercise training (SET) and traditional Chinese exercise (TCE) will have a better effect.

OBJECTIVE

Therefore, we designed a strength training and Tai Chi exercise hybrid program to improve sarcopenia in the elderly. Moreover, Explainable Artificial Intelligence was utilized to predict post-intervention sarcopenic status and quantify the feature contribution.

METHODS

To assess the influence of sarcopenia in the elder group, ninety-three participated as experimental subjects in 24-week randomized controlled trial and were randomized into three intervention groups, namely the Tai Chi exercise and strength training hybrid group (TCSG, n = 33), the strength training group (STG, n = 30), and the control group (CG, n = 30). Abdominal computed tomography (CT) was employed to evaluate the skeletal muscle mass at the third lumbar (L3) vertebra. Analysis of demographic characteristics of participants at baseline used one-way ANOVA and chi-square test and repeated measures ANOVA to analyze experimental data. In addition, ten machine-learning classification models were resorted to calculate if these participants could reverse the degree of sarcopenia after the intervention.

RESULTS

A significant interaction effect was found in skeletal muscle density at L3 (L3 SMD), skeletal muscle area at L3 (L3 SMA), grip strength, muscle fat infiltration (MFI), and relative skeletal muscle mass index (RSMI). Grip strength, RMSI, and L3 SMA were significantly improved after the intervention for subjects in the TCSG and STG. After post hoc tests, we found that participants in the TCSG had a better effect on L3 SMA than those in the STG and participants in the CG. The LightGBM classification model had the greatest performance in accuracy (88.4%), recall score (74.0%) and F1 score (76.1%).

CONCLUSIONS

Skeletal muscle area of sarcopenic older adults may be improved by a hybrid exercise program composing of strength training and Tai Chi. In addition, we identified that the LightGBM classification model had the best performance to predict the reversion of sarcopenia.

Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

Individuals identifying as Black, American Indian or Alaska Native, or Hispanic or Latino lack access to culturally appropriate accurate information and are the target of disinformation campaigns, which create doubt in science and health care providers and might play a role in sustaining health disparities related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to create and disseminate culturally and medically appropriate social media messages for Black, Latino, and American Indian or Alaska Native communities in Wisconsin and evaluate their reach and effectiveness in addressing the information needs of these communities.

METHODS

Our team identified relevant COVID-19 topics based on feedback from their respective community, developed lay format materials, and translated materials into culturally appropriate social media messages that community advocates delivered across their respective communities. Social media metrics (reach, engagement, and impressions) were collected using Sprout Social and Facebook Analytics. We hosted 9 focus groups with community members to learn about their social media use. These data were analyzed using an inductive approach, using NVivo software (release 1.7) to code content.

RESULTS

Between August 2021 and January 2023, we created 980 unique social media posts that reached 88,790 individuals and gathered >6700 engagements. Average reach per post was similar across the 3 communities, despite differences in the number of posts and followers on each page: 119.46 (Latino individuals), 111.74 (Black individuals), and 113.11 (Oneida Nation members). The type of posts that had higher engagement rate per reached person (ERR) varied across communities and platforms, with the highest being live videos for the Latino community on Facebook (ERR 9.4%), videos for the Black community on Facebook (ERR 19.53%), and social media messages for the Oneida Nation community (ERR 59.01%).

CONCLUSIONS

Our project presents a unique and effective model for health messages and highlights the need for tailoring social media messages and approaches for minoritized audiences (eg, age, gender, race, and ethnicity). Further research studies are needed to explore how specific types of information affect the dissemination of information and the implications for health communications.
The Association of Red Cell Distribution Width with All-cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in American Adults with Hypertension: Population-Based Prospective Cohort Study (Preprint)
Authors: Hu Jie , Zhang Chengliang , Song Zongbin , Zhao Liang , Chavarria Gonzalez Sarel , Wang E , Hou Xinran
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

The progression of hypertension is highly heterogeneous among populations and cost-effective biomarkers assessing the prognosis of hypertension have been rarely investigated. Recent studies have highlighted the diagnostic and prognostic potential of red cell distribution width (RDW) beyond hematologic disorders. The relationship between RDW and the prognosis of hypertension has been rarely investigated.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to clarify the association of RDW with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in hypertensive adults.

METHODS

This prospective cohort study included 20968 adults with hypertension from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES) 1999-2018 with mortality follow-up through December 31, 2019. The participants were grouped based on the RDW quartiles as follows: Q1(≤12.5%), Q2(12.6%–13.1%), Q3(13.2%–13.9%), and Q4(≥14.0%). Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regressions were performed to assess the relationship between RDW and mortality risk due to all-cause and CVD. The restricted cubic spline regressions were used to profile the dose-response relationship between RDW and mortality risk. The receiver operating characteristic curves were used to examine the predictive performance of RDW for mortality risk.

RESULTS

During a median follow-up of 96 months, 5475 deaths were documented including 1890 due to CVD. Multivariate analysis revealed that mortality risk increased step-wise by RDW quartiles, in which the HRs (95% CIs) from Q1 to Q4 were 1.00 (reference), 1.18 (1.06-1.31), 1.41 (1.27-1.56), and 2.19 (1.94-2.48) for all-cause mortality (P for trend <.001), and those were 1.00 (reference), 1.12 (0.94-1.33), 1.35 (1.12-1.63), and 2.20 (1.75-2.75) for CVD mortality (P for trend <.001). The RCS analysis revealed S-shaped associations between RDW and all-cause and CVD mortality risk. The ROC curves demonstrated acceptable predictive performance of RDW for all-cause and CVD mortality in hypertensive adults.

CONCLUSIONS

In American adults with hypertension, higher RDW was significantly associated with higher risks of all-cause and CVD mortality. RDW might be a promising cost-effective prognostic biomarker in the management of hypertension. Further studies are warranted to explore the potential pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the association between RDW and mortality.
Enhancing Tenure Security: A Case Study of the Social Forestry Scheme in the State Forestry Corporation, Malang District, East Java
Authors: Ramadhan Ramli , Riski Alvin Naharul , Chanan Mochamad
Published: March 2024

The Social Forestry Program was a government initiative that yielded significant outcomes and provided unprecedented access and opportunities to the community. One notable change has occurred in the Perhutani area through a scheme known as IPHPS. This scheme provides long-term tenure security to forest farmers with higher returns than before. In addition, extensive experience in addressing tenure conflicts in the Perhutani area, a State Forestry Corporation (SFC), has prompted communities to apply for the IPHPS scheme. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the dynamics of changes in access and assess their implementation using the concept of property rights as a framework. The results showed that the IPHPS scheme provided community groups the right to manage forests but needed more flexibility to decide on the use of resources. In addition, the management patterns regulation had a significant responsibility to restore forest conditions. Furthermore, this research proposed new rights, particularly management rights, for community groups to manage their forest resources up to the operational level and improve forest conditions. In addition, the absence of a management authority caused difficulties in achieving social forestry's objective of increasing local communities' role in managing their forest resources.

Published: March 2024

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for the well-being of plants, animals, and bacteria. In plants, iron plays a pivotal role in a myriad of metabolic processes, encompassing redox reaction, photosynthesis, respiration, chlorophyll synthesis, and nitrogen fixation. For humans, iron is indespensable for several metabolic functions, particularly in the synthesis of haemoglobin. Iron deficiency can lead to health issues on a global scale, therefore identifying key crops, such as rice for providing sufficient iron in diet intake is very important. In rice, the maintenance of iron homeostasis is orchestrated by various genes, with OsFER1 and OsFER2 acting as iron accumulator genes in leaves, stems, flowers, and grains. The primary objective of this study was to ascertain the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the OsFER1 and OsFER2 and to assess the iron content in Indonesian local rice cultivars. To achieve this, we examined partial sequences of OsFER1 and OsFER2 to identify SNPs in the Indonesian rice cultivars used (Cempo Ireng, Pari Ireng, Hitam Kalsel, Merah Pari Eja, and Ciherang). Concurrently, the iron content in the seeds was quantified using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). The analysis revealed that the OsFER1 gene sequence, specifically exon 5, exhibited a SNP in the form of a transition. In contrast, the OsFER2 gene sequences, specifically in intron 2 displayed SNPs in the form of insertions. Notably, the iron content in the seeds was highest in Cempo Ireng (black rice), while it was lowest in Merah Pari Eja (red rice) and Ciherang (non-pigmented rice). Importantly, the identified SNPs in these partial gene sequences did not exert any discernible influence on iron levels or the formation of ferritin protein.

Authors: Aumentado Herbert Dustin , Bengoa Jennelyn , Balendres Mark Angelo
Published: March 2024

Healthy seeds are the foundation of healthy plants. Planting healthy seeds contributes to securing crop productivity and seed germplasm conservation. In this study, we have identified microbes associated with seeds of three cherry tomato genotypes and demonstrated their negative effect on general seed health. Through a combined morpho-cultural and molecular characterisation (using multi-loci analysis of the ITS, β-tubulin, tef1α, and gapdh gene regions for fungi and 16s rDNA for bacteria), we have identified three fungi (Nigrospora sphaerica, N. lacticolonia, and Curvularia aeria), and two bacteria (Citrobacter freundii, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia) from healthy-looking tomato seeds. These fungi and bacteria, through seed-soaked-inoculation, caused seed discoloration, lesions, and low germination. To our knowledge, these are the first reports of Nigrospora sphaerica, N. lacticolonia, Curvularia aeria, Citrobacter freundii, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia on tomato seeds and demonstrated their negative impact on seed health. Seed treatment and interventions are needed to negate the possible effect of these microbes. Future studies on possible seed transmission are warranted.

Published: March 2024

Various bacteria are widely used as food-fermenting agents, including Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Bacillus. Despite they are generally recognized as safe to be consumed by humans, those bacteria could potentially cause antibiotic resistance as they could acquire and transfer antibiotic resistance genes from or to other microbes within the human gastrointestinal tract. Profiling antibiotic resistance pattern in those bacteria is therefore important to control the spread of antibiotic resistance. In this study, antibiotic resistance profile of Bacillus subtilis G8 was assessed. B. subtilis G8 had been isolated from commercialised Japanese natto in Indonesia and had been previously reported for its fibrinolytic characteristics. The antibiotic resistance phenotype and genotype of B. subtilis G8 were assessed through the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method and whole-genome analysis, respectively. B. subtilis G8 exhibited resistance towards Oxacillin, Lincomycin and Tiamulin-Lefamulin. The bioinformatics analysis indicated several responsible genes mediating those resistance, i.e., ybxI (for Oxacillin), lmrB (for Lincomycin) and vmlR (for Lincomycin and Tiamulin-Lefamulin). All identified genes were found in the chromosomal DNA. Further analysis found no mobile genetic elements within the genome, therefore reducing a risk of resistance gene transfer via plasmid and subsequently supporting safety profile of B. subtilis G8 in food fermentation usage.

Cassava Lace Bugs (CLB) are native pest of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz, Euphorbiaceae) to the Neotropical Region, mainly in Brazil. On the other hand, East Java was the first region in Indonesia to record the presence of CLB in 2021, however, it has not been reported in other regions in Indonesia. Therefore, the very importance to recognise the occurrence of CLB in other regions in Indonesia. Based on this, the research has been carried out starting with a field survey, observing behaviour of insect in the field and identify morphologically in the laboratory. The survey results show that the infestation of CLB has been found in lowland, medium, and highland areas in Bali. Symptoms of infestation on the upper leaf surface are small yellow spots with brownish variations. Based on the identification key, CLB from Bali Indonesia, shows a characteristic of a head with a pair of frontal spines. Based on this evidence, the CLB insect can be identified as Vatiga illudens (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Tingidae). It is the first report of novel distribution areas for V. illudens in Bali, Indonesia. The results of this research are important because V. illudens is one of the main pests of cassava.
The Expectation of Carnival: The “Carnivalised” Writing of China’s 1990s in the Context of Mass Culture
Authors: Zhang Bojin
Published: March 2024

Since the advent of the 1990s, the ascendancy of mass culture, buoyed by the burgeoning market economy, has engendered a discernible transformative trajectory in Chinese literature. Mass culture has given rise to a fissure in the value judgment and authoritative definition of literary works, a change that not only responds to the stimulus of the market, but also conforms to the expectation of the masses for revelry under specific historical conditions. This paper looks back at the social background, takes Bakhtin’s theory of carnival as a guide, and explains the literary phenomenon and writings of the 1990s in the context of mass culture, pointing out that the subversion of value and the deconstruction of authority are the prominent features of “carnivalized” writing in this period.

Published: March 2024

Abstract: Since the 1970s, electronic voting (e-voting) has evolved, offering efficiency and reduced errors, but faces challenges in security and accessibility. Blockchain technology emerges as a disruptive force with potential to fortify e-voting systems. Voting is fundamental to democracy, yet concerns over reliability and accessibility persist. E-voting, while introduced to address these concerns, remains costly and centralized. Blockchain’s decentralized nature holds promise for overcoming these challenges. This study introduces e-Vote, a blockchain- based voting system designed for privacy, accessibility, and security. Leveraging Ethereum’s blockchain and smart contracts, e-Vote offers a scalable framework for university level elections. Utilizing cryptographic techniques such as homomorphic encryption, e-Vote ensures voter privacy. Our implementation, tested on Ethereum’s Testnet, demonstrates usability, scalability, and efficacy. Successful integration of e-Vote requires two key components: the Election Commission, managing elections and candidates through smart contracts, and the voter’s module, enabling individuals to cast ballots for their respective constituencies, with each ballot recorded on the blockchain to prevent tampering.

Published: March 2024

This study aims to examine the development of a sustainability accounting information system based on contingency theory. In today's digital era, BPRs face many data sets, including financial and non-financial data. However, empirical evidence is still scarce on how sustainability issues are linked or integrated into the company's internal information system. The initial data used in this study came from 80 respondents from BPRs in Badung Regency. The results show that there is a significant relationship between stakeholder engagement, especially internal stakeholders, and sustainability accounting information systems; most of the surveyed BPRs include sustainability strategies as core BPR strategies; however, there is no relationship between sustainability accounting information systems and BPR strategies, and firm size does not moderate sustainability accounting information systems with BPR strategies.  The limitation of this study relates to the small sample size, which only uses respondents from BPRs in Badung Regency. The results of this study are important to encourage the social responsibility of BPRs by developing a sustainability accounting information system.

CARNAVAL EM REVISTA: OS SENTIDOS DA FESTA NA APREENSÃO DE MULHERES BRINCANTES PELA IMPRENSA ILUSTRADA DOS ANOS 1960
Authors: Dainese Maziero Ellen Karin
Published: March 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir os principais sentidos atribuídos aos festejos carnavalescos de forma a perscrutar como essas visões referentes à principal festividade brasileira se fizeram presentes na imprensa ilustrada, foco privilegiado da cobertura dos bailes dedicados à elite e dos desfiles das escolas de samba. Tomando como base para análise a interpretação que apreende o carnaval pelo viés da transgressão, pretende-se igualmente discutir o possível papel que esses festejos tiveram na manifestação de comportamentos femininos que ainda eram vistos com restrições pela sociedade brasileira dos anos 1960.

A proposta desse artigo é abordar a presença árabe no Rio de Janeiro a partir da experiência da Hospedaria de Imigrantes da Ilha das Flores, primeira hospedaria de imigrantes fundada pelo governo brasileiro com o objetivo de receber, acolher e encaminhar imigrantes que chegavam ao Brasil pelo porto do Rio de Janeiro. Através das estatísticas da imigração presentes nos livros de registro de imigrantes da Ilha das Flores e dos relatórios do Ministério da Agricultura, pretende-se refletir sobre as particularidades da imigração árabe no Rio de Janeiro.
Dinâmicas territoriais e cultura da inovação: questões para pesquisa em políticas públicas para o desenvolvimento territorial
Authors: Reis Marcio Carneiro dos
Published: March 2024

O objetivo é jogar luz sobre os fundamentos da proposição de políticas públicas de C&T promotoras da cultura da inovação, a partir de uma reflexão prévia acerca das dinâmicas territoriais. Essa reflexão leva em conta um conjunto multidisciplinar de contribuições sobre território, cultura, manifestações e interações culturais. Ao final, sugere-se que a diversidade cultural nos territórios não necessariamente é aderente às proposições de política advindas da estratégia de promover a cultura da inovação.

Depois, analisaremos a difusão e circulação dos manuais pela Europa e América portuguesa. Em seguida, examinaremos o manual intitulado Escola de Bem Morrer do padre Antonio Maria Bonucci.
Desafios para ensinar a pensar historicamente
Authors: Barca Isabel
Published: March 2024

Resumo: Na linha de pesquisa de educação histórica, este estudo toma a natureza genuína do conhecimento histórico, combinada com princípios da cognição contextualizada, como pressuposto crucial para aprender a pensar historicamente. Discute de que forma essa linha de pesquisa tem explorado as ideias de crianças e jovens quando prestam atenção à evidência e comparam perspectivas para construir uma compreensão significativa do passado, de forma a encontrar (uma melhor) orientação temporal na sua vida em sociedade. Este trabalho seleciona e interpreta alguns exemplos dos modos pelos quais quatro elementos fundamentais de estudos empíricos (questões de pesquisa, alunos participantes e seus contextos, tarefas dos alunos, análise dos dados e resultados) estão entrelaçados nessa área. De acordo com esta ideia, são apresentadas algumas sugestões sobre uma possível, embora sempre por tentativa, relação efetiva entre epistemologia, pesquisa empírica e práticas de ensino e aprendizagem. Palavras-chave: Educação histórica; Teoria da história; Práticas científicas e escolares. Abstract: In the line of research in history education, this study takes the genuine nature of historical knowledge, combined with principles of contextualized cognition, as a crucial presupposition for learning to think historically. It discusses how this line of research has explored the ideas of children and young people when they pay attention to the evidence and compare perspectives to build a meaningful understanding of the past, in order to find (a better) temporal orientation in their life in society. This work selects and interprets some examples of the ways in which four fundamental elements of empirical studies (research questions, participating students and their contexts, student tasks, data analysis and results) are intertwined in this area. In accordance with this idea, some suggestions are made about a possible, albeit tentative, effective relationship between epistemology, empirical research and teaching and learning practices. Keywords: History education; Theory of history; Scientific and school practices.
Mulheres, redes familiares e a luta pela liberdade na Vila de Maraú (Bahia, C. 1840-C. 1880)
Authors: Cirino Raissa Gabrielle , De Souza da Mota Julian
Published: March 2024

O presente artigo investiga as distintas formas de luta pela liberdade na Bahia oitocentista a partir da vila de Maraú. Estabelecida na região sul da província, Maraú estava inserida em uma dinâmica econômica e escravista diferenciada da capital Salvador que, por muito tempo, foi o foco dos estudos históricos. A partir da microanálise, o estudo recupera distintos casos de compra de liberdade na segunda metade do século XIX para refletir sobre relações escravistas e o papel das redes familiares na luta pela liberdade.
Perversa Cura Vocatur
Authors: Adami Ana Letícia
Published: March 2024

A polissemia da palavra “curiosidade”, desde fontes Antigas, tais como, Platão, Aristóteles, Plutarco e Cícero, alcança a época do Renascimento, tendo mantido variação axiológica oscilante entre desejo honesto de conhecer, e apego a coisas inúteis e à bisbilhotice. Lorenzo Valla (1407-1457), um dos mais refinados estudiosos da gramática latina de seu tempo, traz uma preciosa reflexão sobre o significado da palavra, em uma análise que sintetiza duas abordagens distintas e originais: filosófica e filológica.
Autonomous control system road construction machine

Published: March 2024

The increasing requirements for the accuracy of construction work lead to the need to create modern control systems that will eliminate the human operator from the process of controlling road construction machines, increase the energy efficiency and productivity of these machines, as well as the quality of the finished construction object. The use of unmanned control systems has become an absolute technological break-through. Improving the accuracy of work with the help of unmanned control systems is an urgent and complex area of research. This is due to the need to improve algorithms and improve sensors to more accurately de-termine the coordinates of the machine and make decisions. Only by possessing high accuracy, modern unmanned vehicles are able to minimize errors in construction work and associated safety risks. To do this, it is necessary to provide the ability to recognize and analyze various factors, such as moving objects, weather conditions, terrain, etc. The article presents the results of a functional analysis of a number of road construction machines, defines the range of tasks that a modern unmanned control system should solve, describes a possible implementation option for such a system, and shows the differences in flowcharts of working processes of construction machines both without automatic control systems and equipped with standard and developed automatic control systems.

Authors: Kankaria Siddharth , Fleerackers Alice , Escalón Edith , Stengler Erik , Wilkinson Clare , Kreutzer Tobias
Published: March 2024

Despite growing awareness of the need to bridge research and practice in science communication, methods of facilitating meaningful interactions between them remain elusive. This practice insight explores how teaching efforts can help to fill this gap. Drawing on case studies from the U.S., U.K., Canada, Germany, India, and Mexico, six instructors offer examples of pedagogical strategies that they have found effective in bridging the two domains — such as fostering partnerships with local science communication practitioners, using dialogic and participatory approaches to build communities of learning and practice, encouraging reflexivity and epistemic humility, and drawing connections with local contexts.
