Hyperpolarizing Small Molecules using Parahydrogen-Induced Polarization and Solid-State Spin Diffusion
Authors: Gierse Martin , Dagys Laurynas , Keim Michael , Lucas Sebastian , Josten Felix , Plenio Martin B. , Schwartz Ilai , Knecht Stephan , Eills James
Published: December 2023

Parahydrogen-induced polarization (PHIP) is an inexpensive way to produce hyperpolarized molecules with polarization levels of >10% in the solution-state, but PHIP is strongly limited in generality since it requires chemical reactions or interactions with H2. Here we report a new method to widen the scope of hyperpolarization via PHIP: a source molecule is produced via PHIP with high 13C polarization, and precipitated out of solution together with a target species. Spin diffusion in the solid state carries the polarization onto 13C spins in the target species, and the solid can subsequently be redissolved for NMR applications. We name this method PHIP-SSD (PHIP with solid-state spin diffusion) and demonstrate it using PHIP-polarized [1-13C]fumarate as the source molecule, to polarize the target molecules [13C4]fumarate, [1-13C]acetylene dicarboxylate, and [1-13C]benzoic acid. 13C signal enhancements of between 1000 and 3000 were measured on the target molecules at 1.9 T. This approach appears to be promising for polarizing a wider range of molecules via PHIP.
Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) proteins are required for DNA elimination inParamecium
Authors: Zhang Fukai , Bechara Sebastian , Nowacki Mariusz
Published: December 2023

Chromosome (SMC) proteins are a large family of ATPases that play important roles in the organization and dynamics of chromatin. They are central regulators of chromosome dynamics and the core component of condensin. DNA elimination during zygotic somatic genome development is a characteristic feature of ciliated protozoa such asParamecium. This process occurs after meiosis, mitosis, karyogamy, and another mitosis, which result in the formation of a new germline and somatic nuclei. The series of nuclear divisions implies an important role of SMC proteins inParameciumsexual development. The relationship between DNA elimination and SMC has not yet been described. Here, we applied RNA interference, genome sequencing, mRNA sequencing, immunofluorescence, and mass spectrometry to investigate the roles of SMC components in DNA elimination. Our results show that SMC4-2 is required for genome rearrangement, whereas SMC4-1 is not. Functional diversification of SMC4 in Paramecium led to a formation of two paralogues where SMC4-2 acquired a novel, development-specific function and differs from SMC4-1. Moreover, our study suggests a competitive relationship between these two proteins.
Block Diagram Representation of Controller Components of Distributed Power Flow Controller
Authors: M.S. Priyadarshini
Published: December 2023

In this paper, an attempt is made to present the controllers used for a power flow controller, termed as Distributed Power Flow Controller (DPFC). This comes under the category of Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices. DPFC emerges from the unified power flow-controller (UPFC), a most powerful FACTS device which can be used for both shunt and series control. So DPFC inherits the same control capability of simultaneous adjustment of line impedance, transmission angle and the bus voltage magnitude, which are the dynamic control parameters. The DPFC control and the functions of the different components for shunt and series controllers of DPFC are presented. These components can be obtained from Simulink Library of MATLAB environment and simulation model is obtained in this paper to check the dynamic response of DPFC.
Generation of Power Quality Disturbances using MATLAB Simulink
Authors: M.S. Priyadarshini
Published: December 2023

Proper operation of a power system depends upon the quality of power supplied to consumers. To have preventive measures and to design power quality monitoring equipment, it is necessary to have proper information about the signals. To design relevant equipment and compensation devices, the signals are to be generated. The objective of this paper is to generate power quality disturbances in MATLAB Simulink environment. The disturbances considered for analysis are voltage sag, swell, interruption, harmonics and transient. The aim of this paper is to present different signals which can be used for signal processing and to extract more information from the signals about the disturbance. The generated disturbance signals can be used to observe the effect of preventive action by analyzing the extent of disturbance reduction. The Simulink models can be used for modeling of corrective devices.

En ese orden de ideas, el objetivo es analizar los cambios que se dieron en los procesos sociales y culturales de la lectura y la escritura durante la pandemia, en su paso de la presencialidad a la virtualidad. Es decir, el tránsito de la educación del aula de clase a la digitalizada en unas condiciones poco preparadas y urgidas de implementación dado el alto contagio del covid-19. Se presenta como metodología, una revisión bibliográfica que lleva a entender el impacto social y cultural de la emergencia sanitaria en los diferentes procesos académicos en la Institución Educativa Chiloé. De igual forma, y como resultado, se espera que en el colegio se establezcan líneas de reflexión que permitan contribuir al mejoramiento de los procesos sociales y culturales de la lectura y la escritura, desde la inclusión tecnológica.
Análisis del modelo ecológico de Bronfenbrenner, su aplicación en la percepción del tiempo dentro del aula
Authors: Romero Montiel Gerardo
Published: December 2023

La siguiente reflexión parte de la necesidad de profundizar en la perspectiva del Tiempo dentro del aula con ayuda de un modelo teórico; existen muchos enfoques acerca del tiempo y su aplicación. El enfoque ecológico de Bronfenbrenner enmarca la percepción pedagógica que los estragos de una pandemia generaron y se evidencia a priori en contraste de la anterior práctica docente. En relación con la percepción del tiempo dentro del aula escolar, el modelo ecológico dará un marco argumentativo dentro de la reflexión del quehacer docente, teniendo en cuenta que dicha reflexión parte del conjunto de profesionales educativos en un contexto en común. Este análisis del tiempo dentro del aula en una sociedad post pandémica enmarcada por un modelo especifico va encaminado a una resignificación perceptual pedagógica en donde el crono-sistema de una generación académica ha reconfigurado la práctica docente y los enfoques didácticos dentro del aula. Este acercamiento reflexivo es una herramienta valiosa para comprender cómo las diferentes influencias ambientales interactúan y afectan la percepción del tiempo dentro del aula escolar.

Authors: Palomo Florez Liana Marina , Marrugo Blanco Esteban de Jesús
Published: December 2023

El propósito de este proyecto de investigación es mejorar la comprensión lectora en estudiantes de sexto, séptimo y octavo grado de la IET Soledad Medina, utilizando canciones tradicionales afrocolombianas como una estrategia didáctica. El objetivo es contribuir a la mejora de la calidad educativa en esta institución. Para abordar este objetivo, se llevó a cabo un proceso de identificación de esta necesidad en la comunidad educativa. Esto incluyó observaciones, charlas y entrevistas con estudiantes y padres de familia, especialmente aquellos que se identifican como afrocolombianos y que constituyen un 5% de la población estudiantil. El estudio se realizó utilizando un enfoque metodológico cualitativo con un enfoque transversal, lo que permitió una comprensión más profunda del fenómeno en la comunidad educativa. La muestra incluyó a 100 estudiantes en los grados sexto, séptimo y octavo y se seleccionó por conveniencia. La técnica de entrevista se utilizó para obtener información sobre percepción de la cultura y tradiciones afrocolombianas a través de sus canciones, así como para evaluar variables como la comprensión lectora y las estrategias didácticas relacionadas con las canciones afrocolombianas. De allí parte la aplicación de cinco estrategias con las que se quiere fortalecer la comprensión lectora y afianzar el concepto de interculturalidad: “La rebelión”, “El pescador”, “La hora de las lavanderas”, “La ruta del agua” y la socialización de las estrategias.
THE FRAME-SLOT MODEL OF THE CONCEPT OF MOTIVATION ON THE BASIS OF MOTIVATIONAL SPEECHES BY PUBLIC FIGURES
Authors: Скічко А. С.
Published: December 2023

This article introduces the outcomes of the conceptual analysis of motivational speeches delivered by prominent public figures, obtained by means of the UAM Corpus Tool – a cutting-edge software renowned for conducting both automated and manual text annotations. Furthermore, the study is enhanced by a conceptual metaphor analysis, revealing that ontological and structural components are the predominant and efficacious elements in constructing a frame-slot model. In accordance with Minsky’s theoretical framework, the frame-slot model consists of the main concept, and frames as complex structures, resembling multi-layered networks. It is figured out that these intricate structures are formed by slots and subplots [17]. Accordingly, the concept of MOTIVATION comprises a combination of frames reflecting embodied speakers’ experiences such as A LIVING BEING, DIFFICULTIES, PURPOSE, MATERIAL OBJECT, STATE, COGNITION, MOVEMENT, INSPIRATION, LIFE, WORLD, EDUCATION, and LANGUAGE. These components collectively serve as a comprehensive reflection of the perceptual paradigms employed by the selected public speakers, whose speeches serve as the primary corpus for this research. Consequently, the corpus comprises 20 speeches delivered by eminent male and female public figures, featuring Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Madonna, Kamala Harris, Melinda Gates, Angelina Jolie Voight, Arianna Huffington, Condoleezza Rice, Sheryl Sandberg, Hillary Clinton, Warren Buffett, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Barack Obama, David Beckham, Mark Zuckerberg, Jay Shetty, and Steven Spielberg. This research underscores the significance of conceptual metaphors in understanding how motivational speeches shape our perception of the world and influence our actions. By dissecting the linguistic elements that construct these metaphors, the insights into the strategies employed by public figures to inspire and motivate their audiences are received and elaborated.
THE ROLE OF MULTIMODAL MEANS IN EXPRESSING PROHIBITION
Authors: Існюк О. Ю.
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the study of verbal and non-verbal means’ interaction actualising the speech acts of prohibition communicated in the spheres of publishing and advertising, as the ones aimed at engaging readers or consumers by making use of catching slogans and powerful graphic means. To define the specificity of techniques used to influence the recipients, the author singles them out into two main types: verbal (language means that represent the concept of prohibition), and visual (non-textual content of a message which consists of such aspects as graphic images, colour, and font). The study results were based on the analysis of 53 front covers of the British journal “The Economist” as well as the ads that contain the idea of prohibition. By way of using the outlined language means’ interaction, it has been found out that actualisation of prohibitive speech acts in advertising and publishing is ensured by the predominance of verbal means that contain the formula do + not + verb serving as a straightforward appeal to the recipient. The verbal message of prohibition is supplemented by colourful images, pictures, multimodal lexical units, or symbols which draw people’s attention to the encoded problem. In this case the prominence is given to colour as a dominant constituent part that not only accentuates the message visibility in the advertisement in the first place, but also helps convey its particular deep meaning, like a set of values of a country or a variety of common associations that it traditionally brings up in different cultures. Such a characteristics can be explained by a concise form of an advertisement and consequently the creators’ purpose to influence the recipient within a short period of time. Thus, the decoding of such multimodal images requires orientation in the general notions the senders refer to, as well as the time or period when it was released since extra-linguistic factors carry additional semantic loading. In view of this, the author concludes that the application of the detailed description of instrumentality to the study of multimodal means’ interaction makes it possible to present a comprehensive description of invariant patterns typical of published multimodal texts belonging to different genres.

The outlook for control of New Zealand’s most abundant, widespread and damaging invertebrate pests: social wasps
Authors: Lester Phil , Beggs Jacqueline , Brown Bob , Edwards Eric , Groenteman Ronny , Toft Richard , Twidle Andrew , Ward Darren
Published: December 2023

Invasive social wasps (Vespula germanica and V. vulgaris) are probably the most damaging, widespread invertebrate pests in New Zealand. In large areas of beech forests they can attain a biomass as great as, or greater than, the combined biomasses of birds, rodents and stoats. Wasps are effective and voracious predators and pose a significant risk to human health. Here, we highlight the scale and diversity of wasp impacts and the opportunities to develop cost effective landscape-scale tools for wasp control. Toxic baits can be extremely effective for wasp control, though the most effective pesticide (fipronil) is currently not commercially available for wasp control within New Zealand. Significant progress has been made to enhance lures for toxin delivery, including the use of synthetic lures. Biological control could offer the possibility of controlling wasps over huge areas at reasonable cost, though previous releases of biocontrol agents have not been successful. Avenues for further biological control work, such as the use of pathogens or parasitoids, are encouraged. We believe it is necessary and strategic to develop a suite of control tools. We urge government and the public to take action to control the wasp problem and to designate one agency as having the prime responsibility for doing this. Given that wasps are harming our natural heritage and inhibiting or adversely affecting people’s enjoyment of natural areas, we look to the natural resource sector to drive research and implement solutions. This includes Department of Conservation, Ministry of Primary Industry and Councils.

Hedging Training for Export and Import Business
Authors: Ekadjaja Margarita , Theja Amory Takahiro , Wijaya Wilson
Published: December 2023

Globalization causes changes and provides convenience in trading activities between countries, exports, and imports. This community service program was conducted for a company engaged in the field of iron trading, which deals with imported products from Japan, America, Europe, China, and Taiwan. The main problem faced by this community service partner was the profit uncertainty due to fluctuations in the foreign exchange market. As a way to avoid currency exchange rate uncertainty, companies can hedge. One of the hedging activities carried out by company management in dealing with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates is the alternative use of derivative instruments. The method for implementing the community service activities was in the form of onsite training which was divided into two sessions. In the first session, the community service team gave a lecture on a general overview of hedging. In the second session, the community service team carried out a simulation of calculating the costs of hedging using appropriate tools. This community service program provides results in the form of developing partner's know-how that provides benefits to mitigate risk through hedging capabilities. Based on the simulation results using the hedging cost calculation tool, partners can see that hedging in the money market is more profitable than forward contracts.
Logistic regression in threshold detection in replicated discrimination sensory tests
Authors: Barroso Camilla Marques , Penha Veiga Elayne
Published: December 2023

Sensory discrimination tests often consider the possibility that each assessor performs a test more than once, that is, they are performed with replications. However, these experiments are generally analyzed as if there were no repetitions or as if all judgments came from different assessors, which the usual analysis assumes that the probability of success is the same for all of them. It is emphasized the importance of considering possible differences in the perception of the assessors, which is consistent with Thurstone's psychological ideas about perception and decision processes. In this article it is suggested a mixed generalized linear model that considers the random effect of the assessor. Particularly in dose-response experiments it is showed that this model allows estimating detection thresholds for several treatments simultaneously. The results allowed to conclude that the proposed model presents good results and can be used in the analysis of replicated sensory tests. We will assume that the variation in the assessor' responses can be modeled as a random effect in a mixed generalized linear model. This model should be able to produce a better analysis, with the ability to detect differences between treatments with greater power and produce narrower confidence intervals for the estimates.
Means Grouping based on Studentized Midrange
Authors: Batista Ben Dêivide de Oliveira , Furtado Ferreira Daniel , Fernando Rodrigues Santos Matheus , José de Paula Alves Henrique
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this paper was to develop two procedures of multiple comparisons based on methods of clustering means, that is, MGM and MGR tests. The first is based on the studentized midrange distribution, and the second based on the studentized range distribution. The tests showed performance equivalent to the performance of the compared tests. Like the tests presented that were based on methods of grouping averages, the MGM and MGR tests did not control the experimentwise error rate for almost all evaluated scenarios. However, under the complete $H_1$ hypothesis, these tests showed high power, with emphasis on the MGM test. Thus, what we propose is yet another test alternative without ambiguity in its results, and not a substitution of the traditional tests already present in the literature.
Tiered Access to Research Data for Secondary Analysis
Authors: Marcotte John E , Rush Sarah , Ogden-Schuette Kelly
Published: December 2023

Research data have expanded in their gradation of the risks associated with both re-identification and harm, which has created a need for multiple levels of access controls beyond public and restricted access. Public-access data have typically been available for download from websiteswhile restricted-access data usually require an application and formal authorization process. The old paradigm of classifying data as public-access or restricted-access is no longer sufficient. Access to research data requires more nuance to ensure the protection of human subjects.In this paper, we describe seven tiers of access to research data. Each tier adds requirements that are necessary to mitigate disclosure risk and confirm appropriate management of the data. Improper handling of the data includes attempting to find a specific individual or household or failing to follow disclosure protection rules for data and output included in papers and presentations. By establishing a ladder of access conditions, each higher tier meets and exceeds the requirements of the lower tiers. While the highest tier meets all requirements, this tier will impede legitimate research for most data. The challenge for repositories is to provide access in a manner that promotes research while specifying security that provides appropriate protections against the risks of re-identification and harm.
The tiers operationalize risk management options. The requirements of the research data determine the appropriate tier.Several articles and reports develop frameworks for providing access to research data. We review these frameworks as well as the current practices at data archives and describe how our approach differs from these paradigms. While tiered access to research data is not a new idea, more than two or three levels are needed to meet the diverse needs of the research community. The tiered approach enables repositories to require sufficient security controls without creating unnecessary impediments to research
National Addiction and HIV Data Archive Program: Developing an Approach for Reuse of Sensitive and Confidential Data
Authors: Etz Kathy , Kimmel Heather , Pienta Amy
Published: December 2023

Sharing data produced through health research projects has been increasingly recognized as a way to advance science more rapidly by facilitating discovery and increasing rigor and reproducibility. Much of the data collected from human subjects includes sufficient sociodemographic detail and/or covers sensitive topics and thus requires restricted data management and sharing practices. Over the last two decades, scientific organizations, presidential memoranda, and other sources have all called for increasing opportunities to share data. Recognizing the value of shared data, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has issued a new Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Policy (Office of the Director, 2020), effective January 25, 2023. Prior to this updated policy, in 2009, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) recognized the value of sharing data and established an archive, the National Addiction and HIV Data Archive Program (NAHDAP). This program focused on sharing data that was often highly sensitive generated from social and behavioral addiction research, including quantitative and qualitative assessments as well as biomarker and imaging data. NAHDAP has developed practices and curation standards to ensure datasets are improved and usable and provides technical assistance for both data depositors and users. We share three key lessons learned working to disseminate sensitive data over the last 13 years, including (1) protecting the confidentiality of human subjects, (2) ensuring careful consideration of costs for archiving data requiring human subject protections are managed, and (3) providing support to facilitate the discovery and use of the data. While this article will not provide a comprehensive review of these areas, we will provide major insights from our experiences while developing this archive program.
УКРАЇНА В СИСТЕМІ ЧОРНОМОРСЬКОЇ РЕГІОНАЛЬНОЇ СИСТЕМИ
Authors: Ніколаєнко Наталія
Published: December 2023

У статті визначено, що Чорноморський регіон перманентно опиняється у фокусі зіткнення стратегічних інтересів різних держав. Зазначається, що, з історичного погляду, Чорноморський регіон завжди був ареною економічного, політичного й культурного спілкування народів та цивіліза- цій і водночас складним вузлом суперечностей між блоками та країнами, а причини, що зумовлювали в минулому локальні конфлікти національного, етнічного й релігійного характеру в регіоні, не втратили актуальності й нині. Установлено, що одним із найбільш ефективних шляхів подолання згаданих протиріч, а отже, і покращання військово-політичного клімату не тільки в Чорноморському регіоні, але й загалом у Європі, є створення регіональної чорноморської системи колективної безпеки. Також звернено увагу на те, що певні можливості для країн Чорноморського регіону уможливлює створення в Україні потужного військово-промислового потенціалу після закінчення повномасштабної російсько-української війни, а співпраця з Україною зміцнить європейські орієнтації й забезпечить сприяння реаліза- ції модернізованих проєктів у країнах Чорноморського регіону. Підкреслено використання   в   подальшому   українського   миротворчого   потенціалу в урегулюванні локальних конфліктів (грузино-абхазького, грузино- осетинського, молдовсько-придністровського). Відзначено, що засадах партнерства могла б утворитися нова регіональна система стабільності як органічний елемент загальноєвропейської архітектури безпеки поруч із НАТО. Аргументовано, що Україна в умовах війни РФ проти України повин- на модернізувати власну економіку в рамках євроатлантичних устремлінь, відновити шляхи для кооперації, формування рівноправних, вигідних партнерських відносин із країнами Чорноморського регіону. Система Чорноморського економічного співробітництва для України є важливим елементом у розвитку стратегії довгострокової взаємодії з країнами Сходу.
ІНТЕГРАЦІЙНІ ПРОЦЕСИ В РЕГІОНАХ СВІТУ ЯК ОЗНАКА СУЧАСНИХ МІЖНАРОДНИХ ВІДНОСИН
Authors: Поліщук Ігор
Published: December 2023

У статті розглянуто найвпливовіші та найуспішніші інтеграційні угруповання різних континентів світу. Серед них – торговельна асоціація USMCA (Північна Америка), Латиноамериканська асоціація вільної торгівлі (Південна Америка), Африканський союз, АСЕАН (Південно-Східна Азія), Ліга арабських країн, Європейський Союз. У сучасному світі приналежність до провідних міжнародних об’єднань є необхідною умовою для забезпечення власного національного суверенітету для країн, які є невеликими за своїми розмірами та за своїми ресурсами не мають можливості самостійно протистояти агресивним діям із боку великих держав. У сучасному світі намітився тренд до регіональних міжнародних об’єднань, зумовлений географічним фактором. Зробимо висновок, що для   України   за умов повномасштабної агресії з боку фашистської росії інтеграція в Європейський Союз стає завданням національного виживання, адже самотужки протистояти рф на довгий термін видається надскладною перспективою.

Published: December 2023

Es común que se utilicen sin distinción los términos psicología de la salud y psicología clínica, y aunque el término medicina conductual tiene una connotación diferente, es necesario conocer sus características. Por tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo es diferenciar funciones y características de la psicología de la salud, la medicina conductual y de la psicología clínica como material de apoyo didáctico. Se ofrece una infografía comparativa en la cual se describen similitudes y diferencias entre las tres especialidades. Aunque estas tienen puntos de convergencia, no deben usarse indistintamente porque las dos primeras se llevan a cabo dentro de instituciones de salud y se involucra alguna condición de salud mientras que, la tercera no necesariamente se implica la salud física. La psicología de la salud y la psicología clínica se pueden abordar desde diversas tradiciones teóricas, pero la medicina conductual, solo desde la teoría de la conducta
Fortunetelling as a Fraudulent Profession?
Authors: Meier Verena
Published: December 2023

With the beginning of the Second World War the highest policy authority in the Nazi regime ordered that all fortunetelling female Sinti and Roma were to be incarcerated in concentration camps. This article traces the genesis of gendered antigypsyist motifs from the first written documentation on Sinti and Roma in Europe in the late Medieval period through the Enlightenment and the specialized discourse of criminology and penology in the nineteenth century. Furthermore, it analyzes both how the state apparatus criminalized fortunetelling asa fraudulent profession and how the criminal police under the Nazi regime implemented an order to incarcerate female Sinti and Roma by attributing the criminalized activity of fortunetelling.

One of the main objectives that nations strive to accomplish through the use and optimization of natural resources, i.e., maintaining a clean environment, is the promotion of sustainable economic growth. The study aims to analyze the relationship between economic growth and environmental deterioration and to achieve the main hypotheses of the environmental Kuznets curve in the group of Arab oil countries during the period 2003–2022. To accomplish this purpose, the study used a descriptive and analytical strategy that relied on time series data for each country as well as sectional time series (panel data), as well as the usage of (integrating regression, PRM, and FEM REM), Considering that the average per capita carbon dioxide emissions is the environmental variable and the average per capita GDP is economic growth and energy consumption as a mediating variable, Finally, the study concluded that there is a positive relationship between economic growth (linear) and environmental degradation and a negative relationship between economic growth (quadratic) and environmental degradation; that is, the hypotheses of the environmental Kuznets curve invert (u) shape coincide in the selected countries in the time series and sectional time series analyses (Panel Data). However, the turning points are outside the range of the average per capita GDP in the Arab oil-producing countries, implying that the per capita GDP in these countries has not reached a level conducive to sustainable economic growth. Finally, since energy consumption has a significant impact on environmental degradation, these countries must increase energy efficiency, transition to clean technologies, and expand the use of renewable energy in their productive sectors.

The impacts of teachers' written feedback on EFL students' writing development have been extensively studied, but still little study has been undertaken on the effectiveness of mediating teachers' feedback via technology. Framed by a sequential mixed-methods explanatory design, this study engaged 27 A1-level undergraduate students for 16 weeks in an English course incorporating Padlet-mediated feedback for writing lessons. Quantitative data derived from Likert-scale surveys and writing scores was explored using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s correlation, while content analysis was applied to analyze the qualitative data derived from the open-ended surveys. The results indicated that students viewed Padlet positively as an easy, accessible, and convenient formative assessment tool that helped them boost their motivation, decrease their writing errors, and enhance their writing skills through reflective, aided, social, and collaborative learning. The written feedback provided by the teacher via Padlet was positively received because it altered the conventional method of providing feedback, lowered students' anxiety, improved their writing shortcomings, and raised their awareness. However, Padlet's open learning environment was insufficient and still posed a threat and embarrassment for some students who feared making mistakes. Moreover, no correlation was observed between students' perceptions of their learning experience with Padlet-mediated feedback and their writing outcomes. This adds to our understanding that, despite being perceived as useful, technology-mediated feedback may not directly and positively affect students’ success in their EFL writing development.
Dampak Pertambangan Batubara terhadap Kesejahteraan Petani Karet (Kasus: Desa Padang Panjang, Kecamatan Tanta, Tabalong, Kalimantan Selatan)

Published: December 2023

Pertambangan di daerah pedesaan dapat dilihat sebagai pedang bermata dua. Satu sisi, pertambangan membawa kemakmuran bagi penduduk setempat. Namun, pertambangan juga menyebabkan perubahan kepemilikan lahan dan strategi mata pencaharian masyarakat. Tujuan dalam penelitian ini adalah mengkaji dampak perusahaan batubara terhadap kesejahteraan petani karet. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode triangulasi, yaitu menggabungkan pendekatan kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Masyarakat Desa Padang Panjang mengalami perubahan sosial yang signifikan karena banyak yang beralih dari mata pencaharian agraris menjadi pekerja tambang. Pergeseran ini mendorong penduduk untuk mengadopsi strategi mata pencaharian yang berbeda, seperti intensifikasi-ekstensifikasi pertanian dan diversifikasi mata pencaharian ganda. Masyarakat lokal tidak bermigrasi karena masuknya orang luar yang mencari pekerjaan di perusahaan tambang batubara. Melalui analisis regresi logistik, penelitian ini mengidentifikasi dua faktor yang secara signifikan memengaruhi kesejahteraan petani karet yang terkena dampak pertambangan batubara, yaitu aksesibilitas pendidikan dan akses terhadap teknologi informasi dan komunikasi.
Analysis of Discourse Changes due to the Introduction of Irrational Numbers in School Mathematics: Focusing on the Historical Significance of Incommensurability in Mathematics
Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Baek Seungju
Published: December 2023

This study examined the method of discovering incommensurable quantities, the origin of irrational numbers, and the changes in Greek mathematics resulting from the discovery of these quantities from Sfard's commognitive perspective. In addition, in light of the history of mathematics, this study looked into changes in the discourse of school mathematics due to the introduction of irrational numbers. As a result of the analysis, the discovery of incommensurable quantities in the history of mathematics was an opportunity to change from empirical mathematics to formal and theoretical mathematics, and was an event that brought about changes in various mathematical concepts, proportion theory and roles of mathematical tools. In other words, the discovery of incommensurable magnitude transformed Greek mathematics into an incommensurable discourse. These changes in the history of mathematics appear similarly in the changes in the discourse of school mathematics due to the introduction of irrational numbers. The introduction of irrational numbers into school mathematics resulted in the application of formal definitions of numbers, changed the concepts of number and area, and led to the emergence of narratives that seemed to contradict previous discourses. It is understood that the introduction of irrational numbers has changed the discourse of school mathematics into a discourse that is incommensurable with the previous one. The analysis of this study could be basic data for the design of teaching and learning methods for students facing the task of transitioning to the incommensurable discourse of irrational number learning.

Published: December 2023

Reasoning about ranges of sample results in empirical sampling distributions at the middle school level can provide learning experiences regarding statistical concepts such as sampling variability and uncertainty. Simultaneously, it can also help lay the foundation for statistical learning in higher grades. Extending prior studies on middle school students’ reasoning about ranges of sample results, this study categorized the levels of reasoning about ranges of sample results by 9th-grade students during repeated random sampling activities in a technology environment, and analyzed changes in the levels of reasoning according to the activities. The analysis revealed that the types of reasoning by students were categorized as intuitive reasoning, additive reasoning, process-level proportional reasoning, and object-level proportional reasoning. The majority of students improved their levels of reasoning in the order of intuitive, additive, process-level proportional, and object-level proportional reasoning through activities in the teaching experiment. However, a minority of students did not reach the object-level proportional reasoning level. Based on the analysis results, we discussed the characteristics of each reasoning type with their roles in statistics learning, the characteristics of student thinking that led to changes in reasoning levels, and the learning trajectories about ranges of sample results.
