Louise Rosenblatt: An Advocate for Nurturing Democratic Participation through Literary Transactions
Authors: Raines Angela S.
Published: March 2024

Raines says that if we want to create thoughtful, critical thinkers in our classrooms, we should consider and implement a more aesthetic teaching stance, as defined by Louise Rosenblatt—a stance focused on the personal experience of reading.

Idea Technology and Product Technology: Seeing beyond the Text to the Technology That Works
Authors: Bednar Maryanne R.
Published: March 2024

Sifting through the myriad idea technologies (such as multiple intelligence theories or Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development) and product technologies (such as PowerPoint or digital cameras) can be overwhelming, but Bednar persuades us that it’s not about having the most recent technology, it’s about using what works for your students in your class. Her point is convincing when we see how an ideological ’blueprint’ and some low-tech support resulted in engagement with novels that led to ’reading beyond’ the printed page.

Electricity supply of an industrial building
Authors: NUHAJ Meri
Published: March 2024

Electricity is one of the greatest gifts that human beings possess. The era in which we live has a high level of development and as a result the use of electricity is very necessary. One of the main sources of electricity production in our country are hydropower plants, which make it possible to convert water energy by means of a turbine into mechanical energy, where the mechanical energy is then transformed by the generator into electrical energy. Electricity is produced by the movement of particles, which we know as electrons. It can also be defined as the energy which is transferred when the electric current passes through the conductor. Electricity is measured in kW (kilowatt hours 1kW*h= 3.6MJ). It can also be produced from a variety of energy sources and different types of technology. The supply of electricity to the consumer is carried out by the Electric Power System, where its constituent parts are Generation, Transmission and Distribution of electricity. Recently, an increase in electricity costs has been observed, so this will bring more consumers who are interested in reducing energy costs.

Teachers in primary education have both generic-specific competencies and
subject-specific competencies. Generic competencies refer to general competencies and
cover theoretical and practical knowledge, while subject-specific competencies refer to
the application of knowledge of the substrate science of the subject area in order to
realize the set tasks. The goal of the research is to examine the reliability of the
Self-Assessment Scale of competencies subject-specific to the physical and health
education area needed to work with students with disabilities. The research was
conducted on a suitable sample of final year students of the teacher and preschool
teacher education study programmes, and the total sample of respondents (N = 84)
included 29 female students of the teacher education study programme and 55 female
students of the preschool teacher education study programme. The adapted version of the
Self-Assessment Scale of teacher competencies working in inclusive teaching (Skočić
Mihić et al., 2014) was used for the self-assessment of competencies. The scale consists
of ten items, and the agreement with the mentioned statements was assessed on a
Likert-type scale. (1-5degrees). Six scale items refer to the cognitive dimension of
competencies, while the remaining four refer to the emotional dimension of feeling
competency. The results of the research indicate that students perceive both their
cognitive and emotional competence to work in inclusive teaching in a physical education
class as moderate. In addition, the results of Cronbach’s alpha (α = 0.76-0.88)
determine both scales as reliable, and the obtained statistically significant
correlation coefficients between the same variable of the first and second measurements
(r = 0.57-0.88) define the good stability of the measuring instrument. From all
above-mentioned factors, it was determined that the scale has satisfactory metric
characteristics and is reliable for use in future research on the population of primary
school teachers. The application of the scale for research purposes will provide insight
into the current state of the level of competencies of future teachers for inclusive
practice in physical education and provide guidelines for the best possible development
of teacher education and kinesiology education programmes that will target all students,
including students with disabilities

A New Mode of MSME Empowerment Creating a Strong Indonesian Economy (Perspective on Business Competition Law)
Authors: Asmah Asmah , Rompegading Melantik
Published: March 2024

Indonesia is included in the category of world economic power in terms of increasing micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which amount to 19 million. The business competition law in Indonesia in Law No. 5 of 1999 and the Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) can make MSMEs an important sector in the Indonesian economy through this institution. MSMEs that carry out business or partner with investors or large businesses reduce unfair business competition that can benefit both parties. However, along with the development of technology and people's habits, business actors, especially the MSME sector, are doing various activities to increase turnover by carrying out various business strategies so that their business can continue. Law No. 20 of 2008 concerning Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises regulates MSMEs' activities, hoping that MSMEs can realize Indonesia as a world economic power with an empowerment model from upstream to downstream and can be easily recognized and accessed quickly. The research method used is descriptive normative legal research. As a result, the new model of the compass network in empowering MSMEs by accelerating the network, roadmap mode, and images can increase MSME production and be free from the influence of an uncertain economic situation.
Technology Infusion in Teacher Preparation
Authors: Foulger Teresa
Published: March 2024

A technology-infused preparation program establishes technology integration as a program-deep and program-wide initiative to support incoming teachers to teach with technology from day one as certified teachers. PK-12 preparation programs adopt a technology-infused approach because they want to address technology integration from beginning to end of the preparation experience in a concerted effort to support candidates. Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK; Koehler and Mishra, 2009; Mishra and Koehler, 2006), a theory about the knowledge domains educators need to be proficient in teaching with technology, is foundational to an infused design. Foulger (2020) and Borthwick et al. (2020) advocate that technology-infused preparation programs comprehensively incorporate four pillars in their design: (a) technology integration curriculum, (b) modeled experiences, (c) practice with reflection, and (d) technology self-efficacy. Preparation programs that characterize their design based on the interrelatedness of the pillars (Williamson, 2023) will provide teacher candidates with the experiences necessary to graduate as certified teachers who are technologically capable. Graduates with strength in technology self-efficacy will intend to use technology in their future practice (Buss, 2020).
Prompt Literacy
Authors: Maloy Robert , Gattupalli Sai
Published: March 2024

Prompt literacy enables anyone to communicate with and direct generative AI systems without needing expertise in computer programming. Prompts are commands formulated in natural human language that unlock the capabilities of AI and guide its outputs. With prompt literacy, people can successfully interact with generative AI to achieve defined objectives, while exercising judgment and responsibility. Prompts serve as an accessible interface between users and automated systems, translating human intents into AI-compatible directives. Effectively crafted prompts are key to enabling generative AI to produce meaningful, targeted results. Just as traditional literacy involves mastering the written word, developing prompt literacy requires learning how to clearly formulate instructions for AI in its processing language. Command of this skill allows humans to reap benefits from AI, directing its open-ended potential to useful and ethical ends through targeted prompts.

Published: March 2024

Popularised in the early 1970s, discourse on the promotion and the protection of the environment, and the safeguard of mother earth is still a matter of serious concern for humanity. Throughout the world, politics of economic dominance and the struggle for power among nations are entangled with issues of environmental protection. Nations are withdrawing from acting on their commitment to environmental protection due to their self-interest. Hence, the objectives of the international community adopted in various conferences and conventions to restrict global average temperature well below 2ºC (preferably to 1.5ºC) above pre-industrial levels look like a distant dream. In the midst of such a crisis, the role of women in the promotion and protection of environment is worth mentioning. Numbers of conventions including the Beijing Platform for Action noted the role of women in sustainable development patterns and the need for participation in environmental decision makings. Agenda 21 (adopted in UNCED, 1992), emphasized global action for women towards sustainable development. This paper tries to study the involvement of women in the promotion and protection of the environment and thereby safeguarding mother earth. This paper also explores the efforts of Padma Shri Jamina Tudu, popularly known as Lady Tarzan, for the protection of environment in the state of Jharkhand.
A Constitutional Dignitary Conceived in the Orbán-Regime
Authors: Kazai Viktor Z.
Published: March 2024

On 26 February, Tamás Sulyok, the former President of the Hungarian Constitutional Court, was elected Head of State by the Parliament. The election of Tamás Sulyok as a member of the Constitutional Court and then as its president was part of the process during which Fidesz took over the Constitutional Court. Sulyok’s presidency (2016-2024) was a testimony to the fact that the Constitutional Court has become subservient to the Fidesz-dominated political branches, and there is no sign that he has actively tried to do anything against it. Based on what we have seen so far, therefore, Tamás Sulyok is part of the Orbán-regime, and nothing suggests that he will exercise greater autonomy and independence in his role as Head of State.
The effects of social media on STEM identity in adolescent girls
Authors: Sreekanth Shreya , Sreekanth Shruti , Viswanathan Sreekanth
Published: March 2024

Social media is widely used and easily accessible for adolescents, it has the potential to increase STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) identity in girls. We aimed to investigate the effects of exposure to counter-stereotypical portrayals of women in STEM on social media on the STEM identity of adolescent girls. The study involved 20 high school girls, randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The participants completed pretest and posttest surveys to measure their STEM identity, including STEM interest and self-efficacy. The results did not support the hypothesis that exposure to counter-stereotypical portrayals of women in STEM on social media would increase STEM identity in adolescent girls. There was no statistically significant difference in STEM identity scores between the experimental and control groups. Similarly, there was no significant change in STEM interest or self-efficacy for both groups. Additional data analysis revealed that the participants who had aspirations for a career outside of STEM experienced a significantly higher increase in STEM identity than those who aspired to have a STEM career. The study concluded that social media alone may not be an effective tool to increase STEM identity in girls. It is worth exploring other, potentially more impactful solutions to bridge the gender gap in STEM. Social media can still be used as a complementary tool to support and encourage women in STEM, but it should not be relied upon solely to address the gender disparity in STEM fields.

Exploring Ethical Considerations in AI-driven Autonomous Vehicles: Balancing Safety and Privacy
Authors: Kumar Amaresh
Published: March 2024

The deployment of autonomous vehicles (AVs) powered by artificial intelligence (AI) raises profound ethical questions regarding the balance between safety and privacy. While AI-driven AVs promise to revolutionize transportation by potentially reducing accidents and increasing efficiency, concerns regarding data privacy, liability, and decision-making algorithms persist. This paper explores the ethical considerations surrounding AI-driven AVs, focusing particularly on the delicate equilibrium required to ensure both safety and privacy. Drawing upon existing literature and case studies, the paper examines the ethical dilemmas inherent in AV technology, including issues of consent, data collection, and algorithmic bias. Additionally, it delves into the regulatory frameworks and industry standards aimed at addressing these concerns. By highlighting the complexities of navigating safety and privacy in AI-driven AVs, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on ethical AI development and deployment.

Az epikus népköltészet műfajainak vizsgálatakor gyakran utolsónak maradtak a sorban a rövid epika műfajába tartozó, általában egy mondatnyi terjedelmű alkotások. Többnyire a közmondások, szólások, találósok, csúfolók viccek stb. tartoznak ebbe a műfajba. „A rövid műfajok epikus jellegét kétféle ok is magyarázhatja: egyrészt keletkezhetnek a semmiből, és vonulhatnak az epika fellegvárai felé; másrészt fordítva, az epika törmelékeinek is nevezhetjük őket. Mindkét lehetőségre sok példánk van, általában mégis azt mondhatjuk, hogy a rövid műfajok az epika előkészületei.”

Ennek a látszólag egységes megjelenésnek nem az volt az oka, hogy más anyagra, például papiruszra nem írtak átkokat, hanem az, hogy az európai időjárási viszonyok között a romlékony anyagra írt átkok nem maradtak fenn, az ólomlemezek viszont nagy eséllyel igen. Ha megvizsgáljuk, hogy az egyiptomi, de – legalábbis részben – görög nyelven íródott mágikus receptkönyvek milyen anyagokat javasolnak az átoktáblák készítéséhez, az ólom kilenc említéssel szintén túlsúlyban van, de a papiruszt ötször, a nátrontáblát pedig háromszor említik. A Római Birodalom területén fennmaradt, általunk ismert átoktáblák anyaga meglehetősen nagy változatosságot mutat. Ha az ólomlemezeket nem vesszük ide, az alábbi felirathordozókat sorolhatjuk fel: szelenit 30; agyag 28; papirusz 8; kő 5; ólomötvözet 5; réz 3; ón 3; bronz 2; textil 2; szteatit 1.

This study aims to: 1) identify factors that can facilitate the occurrence of spatial synergism in tourism villages, and 2) find and determine the level of undesirable conditions and conditions expected from spatial synergism in tourism villages. Research data were collected using in-depth interviews and using nominal group technique (NGT. Key informants are 5 people and respondents are 15 people determined based on purposive sampling. All data were analyzed with a qualitative analysis approach. The results of the study found that the historical similarity factor, the proximity factor, the hereditary similarity factor, the solidarity factor, the potential similarity factor, and the problem similarity factor are factors that influence the occurrence of spatial synergism in tourism villages. In addition, it was also found that the level of conditions expected from the spatial synergy of tourism villages is to have one plan, one region, one organization, one regulation, and one management. While the level of conditions that are not desirable from the spatial synergism of the tourism village is that it does not have planning (spatial and non-spatial) and professional managers or institutions, sectoral egos appear and discriminatory treatment, disrupts or limit local community activities and culture, does not involve the role of Penta helix tourism actors, carrying out unfair competition in tourism promotion and not using digital technology. This study suggests that a more in-depth study is carried out regarding spatial synergism, especially the process of spatial synergism.

Regression Analysis of the Relationship Between ESG Performance and Firms’ Technological Innovation Capability

This article critically examines Charles Bonnet’s seminal contributions to experimental science, particularly through his influential work, ‘Research on the Use of Leaves.’ The primary objective is to delineate the functions and forms of natural experimentation as they were understood and practiced in the mid-18th century. During this period, scientists esteemed experimentation as the zenith of scientific proof, acutely cognizant of its multifaceted functional and typological aspects. Their methodology was characterized by a detailed narration of research methodologies, fostering a ‘rhetoric of transparency’ in scientific discourse. Nevertheless, the advent of new norms in scientific discourse during the 19th century, coupled with a paradigmatic philosophical shift in the 20th century, resulted in the marginalization of empirical practices of the Enlightenment era. Contemporary historians are now endeavoring to reconcile significant terminological discrepancies and to recontextualize the divergent methodologies among natural historians of that epoch. This involves a critical distinction between exploratory and demonstrative (or discriminant) forms of experimentation. Bonnet’s systematic preference for discriminant experimentation serves as a quintessential example of the logical approach in natural history. However, this perspective does not wholly represent the 18th-century ‘art of observation,’ which embraced a plethora of methodologies including taxonomy, anatomical dissection, chemical analysis, and physical measurements.
