Published: November 2024

Learning Analytics (LA) is a field of research and practice that uses data analysis to comprehend and optimize learning and the environment in which learning takes place. As an AI tool in higher education, LA is expected to improve student learning and support the academic community in teaching delivery, institutional management, long-term research and development, innovation, data-driven decision-making, and more. We have conducted a literature review to explore these issues and examine the added value of LA in higher education. We have focused on the key issues that educational institutions need to consider to get the most out of LA use. The findings of this review reveal that the proper use of the LA toolkit can enhance the development of an appropriate educational environment through the careful determination of ethics and policies that support the main institutional objective, and the study of opportunities, challenges, and trends in the sector. The key challenges of using AI tools like LA in Higher Education are data privacy and protection, data ownership, data heterogeneity, potential biases in AI algorithms, and the need for alignment of institutional strategies for LA with pedagogical approaches. The trends highlight the current advances in LA that give added value in higher education.

Published: November 2024

The increasing popularity of compact, chip-based devices has spurred interest in developing on-chip antennas (OCAs). However, OCAs suffer from low gain and poor radiation efficiency due to the silicon substrate’s low resistivity and high permittivity, influencing antenna performance. To avert these challenges, this study aims to enhance an OCA’s gain and radiation efficiency by incorporating a partially reflective surface (PRS) into the antenna structure. The antenna is simulated using 3D CST software, and its performance is evaluated. To validate the simulation, an antenna prototype is fabricated using sputtering and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technologies. The prototype demonstrates a peak gain of 2.14 dB and radiation efficiency of 72.2%, showing a 24.3% gain increase and a 16.25% efficiency increase compared to the design without PRS. Additionally, it achieves an impedance bandwidth of 0.63 GHz, making it suitable for WiMAX, RFIC, and Wi-Fi 6 applications.

Published: November 2024

The Walesi River serves as a vital water source for the community in Jayawijaya Regency, Papua Mountains, but its quality is increasingly impacted by human activities and inadequate sanitation systems. This research aims to evaluate the water quality and pollution load capacity of the Walesi River using the Pollution Index (IP) and Mass Balance methods, focusing on physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters in accordance with Government Regulation (PP) No. 22 of 2021. The research involved water quality testing and flow rate measurements at four sampling locations to calculate pollution load capacities. Results from the Pollution Index (IP) method indicated that the water quality at all sites is categorized as "Good." However, phosphate levels were found to have reached the maximum allowable threshold of 0.20 mg/L, signaling no additional capacity for this pollutant. Other parameters, including TDS (52,682.62 ml/day), Ammonia (75.74 ml/day), and Total Coliform (2,797.14 ml/day), were within tolerable limits based on the Mass Balance analysis. The findings emphasize the need for enhanced sanitation infrastructure and monitoring to maintain and improve water quality. This research not only provides baseline data for the sustainable management of the Walesi River but also serves as a methodological reference for evaluating water quality and pollution load capacities in other regions of Papua and Indonesia, contributing to broader efforts in sustainable water resource management.

Authors: Kurniawan Sandi , Okdinawati Liane
Published: November 2024

Accurate coal production estimation is essential to support efficient decision-making and operational success in the mining industry. Discrepancies between estimation methods, such as truck counts and topographic surveys, often lead to inefficiencies and failure to achieve production targets. This research aims to identify the root causes of such discrepancies at PT Bordun Indie and propose effective solutions to improve the accuracy of production estimation. Using the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) methodology, this research analyzes critical factors such as human error, absence of standard operating procedures (SOPs), and reliance on manual data entry. Descriptive statistical approach and linear regression analysis were used to measure the variation and relationship between the two estimation methods. The results showed that the implementation of process standardization, digital technology integration, and continuous monitoring significantly reduced data variability, thereby improving the accuracy of production estimation. The implications of this research are not only relevant for PT Bordun Indie, but can also be widely applied in the mining industry to optimize production planning, improve decision-making, and support better achievement of production targets. This research confirms the importance of systematic improvement to drive operational efficiency and sustainability in the mining sector.

Published: November 2024

In the rapidly developing digital era, the quality of human resources (HR) in the education sector is one of the determining factors for the success of national development. Improving HR quality through investment in human capital, such as education and training, is very important to face the challenges of globalization and increasingly advanced technology. This study aims to determine the role of human capital investment in improving the quality of human resources (HR) in education in the digital era. This study uses a qualitative research method. The data collection technique in this study is through literature studies. The data that has been collected is then analyzed in three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The study results show that investment programs in human capital, implemented through training and education, not only improve the technical skills of educators but also strengthen their dedication to the profession and social responsibility. In addition, health insurance included in this investment ensures that individuals can work optimally, improving overall educational performance. The importance of investment in human capital in the education sector is reflected in its influence on the competitiveness of academic institutions. Educational organizations with quality human resources will be better able to attract students and produce graduates ready to compete in the international job market. Therefore, developing human resource capacity through training, continuing education, and opportunities to attend seminars is a strategic step that educational institutions need to take.
Evaluation of the Effects of Petrochemical to Liver Enzymes of Fuel Attendants in Oluyole Area, Ibadan, Nigeria
Authors: Kenneth Iyevhobu
Published: November 2024

Probability of adverse health to individuals along the distribution chain, especially fuel attendants. Petrochemical industries, including fuel stations, provide an exposure scenario that increases the vulnerability of front-line staff to gasoline-related ill-health as there are typically more than 150 chemicals in petrol, including small amounts of benzene, toluene, xylene, ethyl benzene, hydrocarbons, cyanides, phenols, heavy metals, toluene and trace amounts of some contaminants, such as lead which are detrimental to the health of an individual. About 5mls of venous blood Samples were collected from 200 persons in Oluyole area, Ibadan. They were each given a questionnaire and an informed consent form to complete. Since 100 of them worked as fuel attendants at different filling stations, they were included in the case group. Among other things, their primary direct exposure sources were inhalation and skin contact. Since they don’t trade gasoline or work in the oil sector, the other 100 people were the control group. The requirements for inclusion included not having a history of chronic illnesses, such as hepatitis, diabetes, renal failure or blood problems, as well as not using any particular medications, smoking or drinking alcohol. The following parameters were measured after the samples were spun and separated: total protein, plasma albumin, globulin, aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Aslanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and Alkaline Phospahatase (ALP). The blood was drawn for the laboratory tests in the morning. P<0.01 was seen for high ALT, AST and ALP, which were 86.3%, 111.4% and 88.5%, respectively. Additionally, there was a 37.2%, 37.8% and 36.4% (P<0.01) drop in Total Protein, Albumin and Globulin levels relative to the controls. This study demonstrated that subjects exposed to petrochemicals may experience liver alterations. However, petrochemicals including benzene and other compounds such as acetylaldehyde, formaldehyde which are components in the petrochemicals can lead to numerous toxic health effects associated with functional aberration of vital organs in the body such as the liver with a significant increase in the ALT, AST, ALP and a decrease in Total protein, Albumin and Globulin.

Authors: Wang Inga Wang
Published: November 2024

Objective: A movement screen is an efficient tool to evaluate movement patterns, detect potential dysfunctions and justify interventions aimed at improving musculoskeletal health. This study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of the 10-item Active Movement Scale (AMS) for assessing musculoskeletal function in adults.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional measurement study. Fifty-five subjects receiving outpatient orthopedic physical therapy attended two sessions. Concurrently, participants underwent self-reported questionnaires and performance-based tests. Inter-rater reliability, test-retest reliability, concurrent validity and floor/ceiling effect of the AMS were assessed using weighted Kappa, percentage of agreement, Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and Pearson correlation.

Results: Inter-rater reliability was excellent (ICC range: 0.90 to 0.93). Test-retest reliability was good (ICC range: 0.82 to 0.87). Inter-rater agreement (weighted kappa) ranged from 0.57 to 0.92. Test-retest agreement (kappa) ranged from 0.53 to 0.77. There were no floor effects, but mild ceiling effects were observed. AMST correlated highly with Lifestyle Physical Function Screen (LPFS) (r = 0.73) and moderately with PROMIS Physical Function-10a (PFF) (r = 0.61) surveys. AMS (upper body subscale) had a low correlation with Grooved Pegboard Placing (GPP) (r = 0.49), WorkAbility Rate of Manipulation Placing (WRMP) (r = 0.51). AMS (lower body subscale) correlated moderately with 10-Meter Walk at Fast pace (GSF) (r = 0.52) and Two Square Agility Test (TSAT) (r = 0.43).

Conclusion: This study provides evidence of the reliability and validity of AMS in adults with musculoskeletal disorders and identifies potential gaps for future improvement and development.

Published: November 2024

O presente estudo buscou apresentar a condição da disciplina de Filosofia após a implementação do Novo Ensino Médio no Brasil. Com a efetivação da Lei 13.415/17, a educação brasileira passou por mudanças significativas. Neste cenário proposto pela nova legislação, a criação de uma Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) complementou um ideal de educação que está presente em nosso país. Acreditamos que este ideal está dentro de uma lógica neoliberal que favorece os interesses do mercado e das instituições privadas que estão cada vez mais inseridas no contexto educacional. Nesse cenário de mudanças, algumas disciplinas, como a Filosofia, perderam espaço. Portanto, buscamos investigar a condição desta área do saber em meio as contradições e mudanças impostas por essa nova realidade. Metodologicamente, trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, bibliográfica e documental. Acreditamos que as mudanças proporcionadas pela Lei 13.415/17 representam sérios retrocessos não somente para a Filosofia, mas para a educação em geral.

Dans le contexte d’une sous-représentation des groupes historiquement marginalisés dans le milieu universitaire au Canada, particulièrement dans le corps professoral, dans les postes de direction et dans la production scientifique ou l’octroi de subventions de recherche, plusieurs démarches ont été entreprises afin de rendre ce milieu plus inclusif – non sans bousculer les traditions en enseignement supérieur, compte tenu du fait que l’inclusion implique des transformations importantes. Cette recherche permet d’avoir une meilleure compréhension des démarches concrètes visant à mettre en place des pratiques inclusives dans le milieu universitaire au Canada. Mobilisant un cadre théorique multidisciplinaire et une approche méthodologique de l’ethnographie institutionnelle basée sur des entretiens semi-directifs, de l’analyse documentaire et de l’observation participante, elle permet d’identifier les enjeux et défis liés à ces actions selon quatre dimensions : les expériences d’inclusion et d’exclusion des individus; les pratiques organisationnelles inclusives; les manifestations des résistances et les processus de changement. En plus de montrer que les transformations liées à l’inclusion dans le milieu universitaire vont bien au-delà de la rédaction de plans en EDI ou de stratégies promotionnelles de l’inclusion, cette étude souligne l’importance de mieux considérer les résistances, les stratégies et les processus de changement liés à l’implantation de pratiques inclusives. Elle met non seulement l’accent sur le changement à toutes les étapes du processus, mais montre également l’importance de joindre à ces démarches davantage de référents théoriques et conceptuels par la réalisation de recherches collaboratives permettant la co-construction des connaissances.

Layering Public Park Histories: Uncovering the Effects of Restoration Idea[l]s in Post-War Urban Spaces in Germany and the U.S.
Authors:   George Mason University, USA, Brannan Fretwell Laura , Schmid Eliane ,   Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH), University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg
Published: November 2024

This paper proposes a lens of analysis for studying how public urban park creation, often presented as inherently beneficial for the public by planners, government officials, and stakeholders, served to enforce prevailing social and political norms by excluding unwanted visitors and fostering specific codes of conduct. The two case studies of post-war park development in Richmond, Virginia, U.S., and Hamburg, DE, exemplify the social and political effects of restoration ideas and ideals on beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries. In Richmond, the construction of Chimbora-zo Park displaced and excluded an African American (Black) community during the aftermath of the Civil War, while Hamburg's Alsterpark was created within the city’s general post-World War II greening initiatives that included forced expropriation and behavior regulation. The joint spatial humanities based approach, which includes GIS modeling and archival source analysis, furthers historical investigation to more deeply understand patterns of displacement, exclusion, and social control. The paper offers an approach for critically examining the planning histories of parks that were created under the justification of restoration but operated as sites of contestation and ideology during moments of societal, political, and social reform.

Sustainable development goals (SDGs), are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone everywhere. The objective of this study is to investigate the performance of local governments with particular reference to its implication for the achievement of zero hunger (SDG 2) in Nigeria’s federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja. The study applied a survey research design with the use of structured questionnaire and the ordered logistic regression model. The Taro Yamane formula was applied to determine the optimum sample size. The findings show that there is a positive and significant relationship between the performance of local government and zero hunger, though their performance is below average. Furthermore, the positive marginal effects for the higher categories 4 and 5, agree and strongly agree, suggest that better access to seed crops, fertiliser, farm implements, credits and agricultural outputs increases the likelihood of respondents agreeing or strongly agreeing that hunger can be ended. Therefore, it is necessary for local governments to re-evaluate their strategies, plans, implementation and monitoring procedures,
Depiction of Modern Man in T. S. Eliot's Selected Poems
Authors: Mohammed Ruqaya Ibrahim
Published: November 2024

Modern poetry is identified as obscure and unconventional. It mirrors the complexity of modern life and reflects the problems of modern man. Modernization and the World War I caused drastic changes in many European countries. Many people suffer from great losses, which create shock in their political and religious beliefs, and in many aspects of their lives. Thus, modern poetry dramatizes the modern age problems, which makes modern poets seek to grasp the split in modern man in order to depict it in a modern way. Thus, the present study is concerned with the theme of the modern man's image and the way it has been depicted in T.S. Eliot's selected poems. T.S. Eliot is considered one of the most influential modernist poets in the literary canon of the twentieth century. He depicts the image of the modern man in his poetry to highlight the Great War problems in the whole world. Eliot is considered one of the major poets who uses his poetry artistically and metaphysically to reflect these problems of the modern man in his poetry. T. S. Eliot's period of activity covers over forty-five years. He was very productive during this period. He uses powerful language with startling images linked with many literary devices to create new images of the modern man. Thus, this study aims to investigate Eliot's depiction of modern man in his three poems: The ''Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock'', ''Gerontion'', and ''The Waste Land''. The study uses the textual analysis to explore the image of the modern man in these three poems.The study concludes that the images of modern man, which are used by Eliot in these poems, are used as a mirror to reflect all the social, political, and religious changes, which caused devastating results and disillusionment among people.
Discourse Analysis of Adjacency Pairs in Scoop with Raya's Selected Interviews
Authors: Hummadi Hassan Khalaf Amer
Published: November 2024

In the context of meaningful contact, adjacency pairs are spoken or written statements that are clearly and tightly tied to the intended meaning and intention of the interlocutors. It is impossible to fully comprehend each pair's unique intended meaning, purpose, and function without considering the interview's background and the actors' intentions at the time the adjacency pairs arise. It seems challenging to pinpoint the communicative functions which are found in the interviews of scoops because it is expected that such forms of interactions don’t follow the expected norms of adjacency pairs usage. The present study tries to fill the gap in the knowledge of researching adjacency patterns of interviewing Hollywood actors in scoops and finding how they are different from other regular interviews. The present study aims at examining the Adjacency pairs included in the exchanges between the TV interviewers as well as the actors, and finding out the maxims violated as well as the communicative functions behind the Adjacency pairs usage that the interlocutors wish to convey when being interviewed. The model adapted is an eclectic one including; Cook (1989) model of Adjacency Pairs, Van Dijk's (2006) model of Context, Grice's (1975) model of Cooperative Principle and Yule's (1996) communicative functions. The current study employs a mixed method; the qualitative analysis examines the content of the utterances descriptively and the quantitative analysis relies on frequencies and percentages appeared. The results show that the highest frequencies are allotted to assessment-agreement, quantity maxim and informing function. This is essentially due to the actor’s desire to create a positive media sensation.

In clinical practice with small animals, cases of dermatitis in dogs are common. Atopic dermatitis caused by ectoparasite bites is one of the common dermatological pathologies in dogs and cats, being associated with proteins in the saliva of these parasites. The objective of this work is to present a clinical case of DAPP in a canine, contextualized by a literature review on the pathology. In the case report, the diagnosis, treatment and management of the affected animal will be detailed. It is concluded, based on the literature and the description, that the control of ectoparasites is the main treatment for dermatitis.

MOUTINHO, Evelyn Santana; SILVA, Gabriel Soares da; ROSSOW, Karina de Castro Lima; ROMANHOLO, Helizandra Simoneti Bianchini. Knowledge of pregnant women about Family planning associated with contraceptive methods in the Municipality of Cacoal/RO. Course Completion Work. Scientific Article. UNINASSAU, Cacoal/RO. 2024. 13 pag. Family planning is defined as the right to autonomy to choose whether or not to reproduce and the freedom to choose when and how many times to have children. This planning must be monitored by Primary Health Care (PHC) professionals, who provide specialized and individualized assistance. Therefore, this article is a qualitative and quantitative field study with a descriptive and cross-sectional approach, with the aim of describing the knowledge of pregnant women in the city of Cacoal/RO about family planning associated with contraceptive methods available in the Unified Health System (SUS). The project was approved by the CEP under CAAE: 80007124.0.0000.5298. The sample consisted of 18 pregnant women who were undergoing prenatal care in the city. Data collection occurred after signing the informed consent form (ICF), where a questionnaire with 19 questions was applied. The average age of the participants was 26.5 years; Of the 18 pregnant women, 10 (56%) knew what family and reproductive planning was and 8 (44%) said they did not know; regarding the provision of contraceptive methods by the SUS, 10 (56%) knew about the distribution of oral contraceptives, 6 (33%) knew about the provision of injectable contraceptives, 15 (83%) knew about the distribution of condoms, 13 (72%) knew about IUD and tubal ligation, 2 (11%) knew about Implanon and 8 (44%) knew about the morning-after pill. It is concluded that this study showed that most women know about family planning methods, but do not use the service because they do not know its importance and the benefits it brings to maternal and child health.
Consumer attitudes and preferences for online food delivery among university students in Nigeria: An analysis of socioeconomic and behavioural factors
Authors: Olanrewaju Peter Oladoyin
Published: November 2024

This study investigates consumers’ attitudes and preferences toward online food ordering among Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) students. Responses were gathered from 150 students across various faculties using social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Email) using primary data collected through structured online questionnaires. The sample was selected via simple random sampling. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics, binary logistic regression, and Pearson’s chi-square tests. Results reveal that due to a fast-paced lifestyle, many individuals, particularly students, find it challenging to visit restaurants, thus driving the popularity of online food delivery apps. These services have become essential in Nigeria, especially among higher education students. Online food ordering is one of the most frequent digital activities, although the specific motivations behind students’ choices remain largely unexplored. The study identified a significant association between satisfaction levels and key aspects of online food delivery, such as speed, reliability, price, stipend levels, and product quality. The findings suggest that online food vendors could benefit from implementing pricing strategies that align with students' financial limitations. Additionally, partnerships or promotional discounts geared towards students may improve affordability and encourage greater patronage. Emphasizing quality maintenance and improvement is essential, as these factors directly influence customer satisfaction and loyalty. Regular quality assessments are recommended to meet and exceed customer expectations, fostering long-term engagement.
