Social entrepreneur management of personal network linkages: Does the use of social media increase resources?
Authors: Bernardino Susana , Freitas Santos J. , Silva Pedro
Published: August 2023

Research on social entrepreneurship highlights how important resources are since a lack of them may undermine a social organization's activity and mission. To maintain or increase the amount of resources available, the social entrepreneur needs to manage his/her personal network linkages via social media to connect with current stakeholders and seek new ones. This research uses primary data collected from a survey of social organizations to see whether the social entrepreneur’s network reliance on social media increases the amount of resources available for the social organization. The primary data was collected between January and March 2020. The results obtained from 313 social organizations in Portugal show that the social entrepreneur’s network linkages have a direct and an indirect effect. Directly, managing the social entrepreneur’s linkages with stakeholders seems to attract resources for the social organization. The indirect effects occur via social media usage, firstly, by seeking and establishing relationships with new stakeholders, and secondly, by managing the personal linkages with the current network of stakeholders.
"Una paella como la hacen en Valencia": ¿existe el reasuntivo ‘modal’ en español?
Authors: Pato Enrique , Agulló Jorge
Published: August 2023

Este artículo analiza la distribución de los pronombres reasuntivos que aparecen en las oraciones de relativo modales del español. La variación sintáctica se explora por medio de algunos diagnósticos, como la naturaleza opcional del pronombre y su valor de desambiguación del antecedente de la oración. La reasunción en estas estructuras no puede derivarse de los mecanismos generales que rigen la presencia o ausencia del clítico en contextos no subordinados. El análisis de las construcciones modales, que se conciben como relativas de interpretación de tipo, sigue las pautas generales de otros estudios formales sobre los pronombres reasuntivos del español.
"Terminó siendo una perífrasis difícil": un análisis aspectual de "terminar" + gerundio
Authors: Kornfeld Laura , Trebisacce Romina , Sciutto Eugenia
Published: August 2023

En este trabajo nos proponemos analizar las propiedades gramaticales de terminar + gerundio, una perífrasis del español que no ha sido estudiada en profundidad por la bibliografía. Siguiendo parte de la propuesta de Olbertz (1998 y 2007), mostramos que esta construcción posee un significado aspectual conclusivo, vinculado a la noción de aspecto externo o outer aspect, que establece que el evento denotado es el último en relación con una serie de eventos explícitos o implícitos previos. Sin embargo, a diferencia de la autora, rechazamos la hipótesis de que esta perífrasis tiene un valor mirativo de contraexpectativa. En este sentido, argumentamos que, si bien este valor puede aparecer en ciertos contextos, no forma parte de su significado básico. Luego de examinar las propiedades gramaticales que muestran la naturaleza únicamente aspectual de terminar + gerundio, desarrollamos nuestra propuesta de análisis sintáctico y semántico. En cuanto a la sintaxis, proponemos que esta perífrasis se ubica en una proyección aspectual alta, que puede ser identificada como el Sintagma de Aspecto demorado (A2), según propone Cinque (2006) en el marco del enfoque cartográfico. Respecto del análisis semántico, sostenemos que el auxiliar terminar, cuando se ubica en la proyección de Aspecto demorado, funciona como un operador que ordena conjuntos de tiempos y eventos, estableciendo así que el evento denotado por el gerundio es el último de una estructura temporal durativa y que este, a su vez, debe ser distinto a eventos previos, si hubiese.
Cultivating Early Childhood Success: Kindergarten Teachers' Professional Needs, Experiences, Efficacy Beliefs, and Performance
Authors: Tulang Marichu D.
Published: August 2023

This quantitative study delves into the relationship between kindergarten teachers' professional needs, experiences, efficacy beliefs, and their overall performance. Using survey questionnaires, this descriptive study gathered data from 101 kindergarten teachers selected from various districts of the Department of Education within the Division of Butuan City. The findings of the study indicate that several factors are significantly related to teachers' performance, including classroom management, professional experiences related to learning assessment, family engagement, learning outcomes, and self-management efficacy beliefs. Additionally, the study identified a predictive framework comprising inclusive education, family engagement, learning outcomes, and self-management variables, which play key roles in determining teachers' performance. The implications of these findings suggest the need for the development of seminar workshops and program training designed to address the specific needs of kindergarten teachers, particularly considering that many teachers in the Butuan City Division are young and early in their careers. Such initiatives can contribute to enhancing teacher effectiveness and ultimately foster early childhood success.
The Role of Geographic Information System in Environmental Planning and Management in Oman
Authors: Ruheili Amna, M., Al , Wardy Malik Al
Published: August 2023

The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has grown to cover various disciplines. The ability to use big data and geoprocessing tools allowed many sectors to use spatial data analysis and modeling for more effective decision-making and increased productivity. The use of GIS has become even more vital in the field of environmental planning and management, where incorporating environmental information contributes significantly to sustainable development. In addition, the ability to use spatial modeling at small-scale local or large-scale regional levels will broaden the knowledge of the direct and indirect impacts of development projects on the environment. This paper assesses the role played by GIS in Oman for generating information to gain insight into the many environmental challenges faced by the country toward more sustainable development. It provides an overview of what has been achieved, the approaches taken, and the way forward.
Problems Encountering MA Students when Translating the Headlines of Newspapers from English into Standard Arabic
Authors: Hanaqtah Mohammad , Falahy Thanaa Hindi Salih Al– , Taleb Yasmeen A. Abu -
Published: August 2023

News headline writing has it's own lexical, rhetorical, grammatical, and type of written discourse features different from other types of text. Because of their lexical, stylistic, special grammar, and cultural specificity students find them difficult to translate. The objective of this paper is to study the difficulties that encounter M.A. students when translating newspaper headlines from English into Arabic. To achieve the goal of the study a group of 40 M.A. students was selected. The students were enrolled in M.A. programs in three Jordanian Universities. The researchers designed a translation test that contained 30 news headlines to be translated from English into Arabic. The results revealed that the students encountered many difficulties in translating news headlines. These difficulties were attributed to the use of literal translation, inability to choose the correct equivalences, and unawareness of the structure, style, and features of news headlines. Engaging students in training courses as well as expanding their knowledge of the target culture was highly recommended.

Published: August 2023

Introduction. Most of the new ventures are immersed in a risk or failure situation due to the lack of knowledge about a management process structured specifically for them, and to the ignorance of new terminology used in risk investment for raising capital. Objective. The purpose of this research is to describe the terminology currently used on risk investment for ventures and managerial actions that guarantee their sustainability, based on a bibliometric analysis of the literature on the research topic, considering the practices of innovative entrepreneurship worldwide with managerial actions that allowed us to recognize gaps, challenges, and opportunities. Analysis. The bibliometric analysis began with a search equation on entrepreneurship management from 1979. Data was processed with VOSviewer and the content analysis was performed with ATLAS.ti. Results. As a result, co-occurring terms emerged in the literature; business management, innovation, risk management, investments, and risk assessment stand out. There are other innovative terms that are used in the current dynamics of venture investment for startups. They are one of the contributions of this research. Conclusions. The conclusions present the best management practices that guarantee the sustainability of startups, as well as findings that reveal the new terminology in risk investment. They become facilitators for the permanence of incipient startups over time.
G. F. Parrot’s memorandum to emperor Nicholas I on the foundation of the Professorial institute: a study and publication of the document
Authors: Gracheva Yulia
Published: August 2023

The article examines the activities of academician Georg Friedrich Parrot, associated with the emergence of the Professorial Institute in Dorpat. Parrot himself was for a long time a professor at Dorpat University and understood well the need to train national professors for the universities of the Russian Empire. Questions of public education turned out to be the central topic in the correspondence of G. F. Parrot with both Emperor Alexander I and Emperor Nicholas I. It was Parrot who became the author of the note Mémoire sur les universitiés de l'interieur de la Russie, the main idea of which was embodied in an educational institution established in 1827, designed to train domestic professors. Nicholas I generally supported Parrot's project, even though the project caused mixed assessments in the Committee for the Arrangement of Educational Institutions. For the fi rst time, Parrot's note is published in full and introduced into scientifi c circulation in French (original language) and translated into Russian. The location of the original note in the fund of the Committee for the Arrangement of Educational Institutions and its copy in the fund of the Department of Public Education has been clarifi ed. An analysis of scientifi c papers devoted to the organization and initial activities of the Professorial Institute showed that the researchers mainly turned to the documents of the Committee published at the end of the 19th century, and not to the original of Parrot's note. The author comes to the conclusion that the publication and full introduction into scientifi c circulation of the text of the project of Academician G. F. Parrot will be an important contribution to the history of the Dorpat Professorial Institute, university history, as well as the history of higher education in the Russian Empire.

Authors: Holland Jennifer E. , Rettew David C. , Varni Susan E. , Harder Valerie S.
Published: August 2023

OBJECTIVE

Characterize the prevalence of chronic physical illness types and mental illness and their comorbidity among adolescents and young adults (AYA) and assess the association of comorbidity on hospital utilization.

METHODS

This study features a population-level sample of 61 339 insurance-eligible AYA with an analytic sample of 49 089 AYA (aged 12–21) in Vermont’s 2018 all-payer database. We used multiple logistic regressions to examine the associations between physical illness types and comorbid mental illness and emergency department (ED) use and inpatient hospitalization.

RESULTS

The analytic sample was 50% female, 63% Medicaid, and 43% had ≥1 chronic illness. Mental illness was common (31%) and highly comorbid with multiple physical illnesses. Among AYA with pulmonary illness, those with comorbid mental illness had 1.74-times greater odds (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.49–2.05, P ≤.0005) of ED use and 2.9-times greater odds (95% CI: 2.05–4.00, P ≤.0005) of hospitalization than those without mental illness. Similarly, comorbid endocrine and mental illness had 1.84-times greater odds of ED use (95% CI: 1.39–2.44, P ≤.0005) and 2.1-times greater odds of hospitalization (95% CI: 1.28–3.46, P = .003), comorbid neurologic and mental illness had 1.36-times greater odds of ED use (95% CI: 1.18–1.56, P ≤.0005) and 2.4-times greater odds of hospitalization (95% CI: 1.73–3.29, P ≤.0005), and comorbid musculoskeletal and mental illness had 1.38-times greater odds of ED use (95% CI: 1.02–1.86, P = .04) and 2.1-times greater odds of hospitalization (95% CI: 1.20–3.52, P = .01).

CONCLUSIONS

Comorbid physical and mental illness was common. Having a comorbid mental illness was associated with greater ED and inpatient hospital utilization across multiple physical illness types.

Authors: Makarenko Elena N. , Tyaglov Sergey G. , Sheveleva Anastasia V.
Published: August 2023

Introduction. The involvement in the economic circulation of production waste is one of the priority objects within which sustainable development is implemented. The purpose of the article is to explore the issues of waste generation and directions for their use in statistical, legal, strategic and economic contexts, to compare approaches to the involvement of waste in economic circulation in Russia and the European Union countries.

Materials and Methods. The study used data from the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation and the Statistical Service of the European Union. Using the methods of descriptive statistics, the indicators of the generation and usage of waste in Russia and the European Union countries have been studied; the methods of comparative analysis made it possible to consider the directions of involving production waste in economic circulation by sectors of the economy and approaches to involving waste in economic circulation in Russia and the European Union countries. Using the method of generalization and synthesis of profits in transactions, the authors made the main conclusions.

Results. It is concluded that, despite the discovery of unresolved problems with production waste, the European approach to identify waste achieves the certain results, in particular, sustainable waste management systems have been established and instruments aimed at preventing and reducing waste, increasing the content of recycling are being applied. In Russia, for the most part, this refers to promising areas, based on international best practices, in the specific experience of the European Union countries, it is assumed that the industry processing, utilizing and neutralizing waste will be observed and prescribed.

Discussion and Conclusion. It has been revealed that the problem of waste exists both in Russia and in the European Union countries, but each time it is approached differently. In general, the countries have created a system for dealing with regulation of waste production, have designed targeted strategies aimed at creating a circular economy. The results of the analysis carried out are of practical importance, they can be taken into account by other countries in the process of developing and making a decision on the problem of production waste.
Implementación de un sistema de cédula electrónica en Colombia
Authors: Avila Niño Fredy Yesid
Published: August 2023

En Colombia, la cédula de ciudadanía es el documento que identifica a los ciudadanos y permite que se puedan llevar a cabo tramites de tipo legal, ejercer el derecho al voto, acceso a servicios del sector público y privado y todo aquel proceso que requiera demostrar la identidad de la persona que tenga derecho a portar tal documento. En el año 1853 en el país aparece por primera vez un modelo de documento de identificación bastante rudimentario cuyo objetivo era evitar la suplantación de identidad de los electores, al cual se le llamo: “Título del Elector”. A partir de este hecho histórico la cédula de ciudadanía se ha transformado y ha cambiado de acuerdo con las necesidades del estado colombiano, en cuanto a la identificación de sus ciudadanos.

No obstante, el documento tal y como se conoce en la actualidad, la cédula amarilla con hologramas la cual está basada en el Sistema de Identificación Automatizada de Huellas Dactilares, entró en vigor desde el año 2000 y desde entonces los avances tecnológicos en cuanto a identificación electrónica han avanzado significativamente.

Por lo tanto, es importante analizar este tipo de sistema de identificación en países donde su implementación ha sido exitosa, de tal forma que sea posible identificar características y elementos de seguridad que se puedan incorporar al sistema de cédula electrónica en Colombia.

El presente documento se obtiene de la investigación realizada en el desarrollo del trabajo de grado: “Implementación de un sistema de cédula electrónica en Colombia para identificación digital”.

Authors: Sandí Delgado Juan Carlos , Bazán Patricia Alejandra
Published: August 2023

El presente artículo reúne los resultados obtenidos a través de una revisión sistemática de literatura, en la cual se utilizan tanto fuentes como una metodología novedosa con el objetivo de analizar y comparar arquitecturas de software propuestas para el desarrollo de videojuegos, en particular, juegos serios orientados a la formación de competencias tecnológicas. Se realizó un análisis complejo y/o exhaustivo de 13 propuestas arquitectónicas a la luz de un protocolo de revisión sistemático, el cual integra categorías y criterios que permiten analizarlas en función del objetivo de estudio. Se definieron 4 categorías: a- Aspectos generales, b- Aspectos arquitectónicos, c- Aspectos pedagógicos y d- Aspectos de análisis. Entre los resultados se obtuvo que, en su mayoría, las propuestas arquitectónicas han sido pensadas para uso a nivel de educación superior/universitaria, así como para ser ejecutadas como aplicaciones web (donde se considera de importancia la reutilización de componentes) y, principalmente, con el propósito de ser utilizadas para el desarrollo de videojuegos a nivel general. Se concluye que, no se identifica una propuesta arquitectónica para el desarrollo de juegos serios como tal. Sin embargo, a partir de los resultados obtenidos, se ha elaborado un checklist con las principales consideraciones que podrían tomar en cuenta los desarrolladores de software al implementar un diseño arquitectónico para un juego serio cuya intención pedagógica sea la formación de competencias tecnológicas, el cual resulta de relevancia y trascendencia a nivel nacional e internacional para los desarrolladores de videojuegos al brindar una línea base de investigación.
Low, but not too low, fertility can represent a positive development
Authors: Skirbekk Vegard
Published: August 2023

The public discourse about the ongoing fertility decline and the spread of low fertility, and the consequences thereof, is often unscientific and emotionally charged. As I argue in my book, Decline and Prosper! (Skirbekk, 2022), low fertility per se does not pose a major societal threat – and it is also accompanied by a number of benefits. In this article, I summarize my main points: namely, that i) the negative consequences of low fertility are often exaggerated and based on false assumptions; ii) low fertility is driven by many different, interacting factors, and is the byproduct or the cause of many positive societal developments; iii) low fertility is here to stay; and iv) societies urgently need to adapt to a world with fewer children. Fertility decline is self-perpetuating: once lowfertility has become the normin one generation, the fertility level is much less likely to increase in subsequent generations. At the same time, no plausible level of migration would be enough to meaningfully alter population aging in the long term. If, however, societies make the right choices, low fertility can enable humans to live more sustainably well into the future, and can stimulate further positive developments in the human condition.

Visualisation of Phyllanthus emblica L. quality using E-nose, HS-SPME/GC-MS, and spectrophotometric methods with chemometrics
Authors: Liu X. , Li Y. , Chen J. , He D. , Li H. , Wu K.
Published: August 2023

This paper provides a rapid method coupled with chemometrics to visualise PEL quality of eight regions. The contents of mineral elements, Vitamin C (Vc), and colour parameters were measured using spectrophotometric methods. The volatile substances were determined by electronic nose (E-nose) and headspace solid phase micro-extraction with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS). Chemometric analyses were employed to visualise the sample distribution according to the geographical origin. The colour parameters, Vc, and mineral contents of PEL from diverse origins were significantly different (P < 0.05). A total of 25 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were identified from PELs, with the highest percentage of components being ethyl acetate. The combination of HS-SPME/GC-MS and E-nose can properly characterise PEL samples. Therefore, the results of this exploratory work highlight the possibility of discriminating PEL from different regions.

Authors: KARADAĞ İlker
Published: August 2023

This article presents a novel approach for transforming architectural sketches into realistic images through the utilization of machine learning and image processing techniques. The proposed method leverages the Stable Diffusion model, a deep learning framework specifically designed for text-to-image generation. By integrating image processing algorithms into the workflow, the model gains a better understanding of the input sketches, resulting in visually coherent and meaningful output images. The study explores the application of the Stable Diffusion model in the context of architectural design, showcasing its potential to enhance the visualization process and support designers in generating accurate and compelling representations. The efficacy of the method is evaluated through qualitative assessment, demonstrating its effectiveness in bridging the gap between initial sketches and photorealistic renderings. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the integration of machine learning and image processing in architecture, providing insights and practical implications for architects, design professionals and researchers in the field.

Published: August 2023

Mimarlık ve iç mimarlık alanları edebiyat, sinema gibi farklı disiplinlerle etkileşim halindedir ve özellikle mekânsal anlamda önemli bir buluşma noktasına sahiptirler. Gelecek tasarımları söz konusu olduğunda, kuşkusuz bilim kurgu eserleri mimari kesitte önemli bir rol oynamaktadırlar. Geçmiş-gelecek, zaman-mekân ilişkisini en iyi ifade eden bilim kurgu alt türlerinden biri olan Siberpunk türünün ise, zaman kavramının mekânsal yansımalarını anlayabilmek adına önemli bir örnek olduğu söylenebilir. Richard K. Morgan’ın 2002’de yazmış olduğu Değiştirilmiş Karbon [Altered Carbon], 2018’te televizyon dizisi olarak uyarlanmıştır. Uyarlama, edebi mekânın televizyon dizisi mekânına dönüşümüyle üç, hatta zaman ile birlikte, dört boyutlu algılanabilir hale gelmektedir. Makale; edebiyat ve televizyon dizisi olarak iki farklı medyadaki mekân sunumuna odaklanır. Değiştirilmiş Karbon edebi eserinin okunduktan sonra, aynı adlı televizyon dizisi izlenmiş ve sinema, mimarlık ve edebiyat ilişkisi literatürüne dayanarak mekânsal analizler yapılmıştır. Bu iki farklı medyadaki mekân sunumunda ortaya çıkan farklılık ve benzerlikler, mekânın temsili ve sunumuna ilişkin tartışmalarda, farklı medya ve araçların kullanımının tartışılması ile ilgili olarak katkıda bulunur. Değiştirilmiş Karbon edebi eserinde tasvir edilen mekânlar ile televizyon dizisine uyarlanmış olan aynı eserin mekânlarının karşılaştırma ve analizlerini yaparak; ortaya çıkan kavramlarla birlikte edebiyat, sinema ve mimarlık arasındaki ilişkiye değinmeyi amaçlar. Çözümleme; edebiyat, sinema ve mimarlık disiplinleri arasındaki ilişkide, geçmiş ve gelecek arasındaki ilişkinin kurulması ve gelecek mekânlarının ve tasarımlarının anlaşılması açısından literatüre önemli bir katkı sağlar.

Comorbidity of chronic heart failure and osteoporosis: literature review
Authors: Larina Vera N. , Shcherbina Ekaterina S. , Dryutova Valeria V. , Larin Vladimir G.
Published: August 2023

The demographic aging of the population causes an increase in the number of patients with both heart failure (HF) and osteoporosis. This is due to the strengthening of disease-preventive measures, multimorbidity, and presence of comorbid conditions such as senile asthenia. As a result, these pathological conditions can cause serious consequences such as loss of functional and social activity, disability, and high rates of hospitalization and mortality. The article considers the common risk factors of HF and osteoporosis and the leading pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these conditions. Modern ideas about the causes of bone metabolism disorders and their features in patients with HF are discussed. Data on the contribution of systemic and immune inflammation, rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activation in the pathogenesis, and progression of HF and osteoporosis are presented. The relationship between low bone mineral density and hemodynamic disorders in patients with HF is also shown. All this is considered in the prospect of distinguishing patients with HF as a risk group for osteoporosis and patients with decreased bone mineral density as having a high cardiovascular risk.

AbstractThis study is part of a documental research degree in Mathematics Education by (author), developed at Universidade Anhanguera – UNIAN-SP. The research aimed to investigate the contributions of the GeoGebra software in the teaching and learning process of Geometry in the determination of notable points in the triangle in Basic Education. The methodology applied to develop the documentary research was exploratory with the purpose of seeking answers to the research problems, based on the methodological procedure steps, such as: data collection, considering the established mathematical object; data processing; review of documents, corresponding to the object of research and data analysis, according to a qualitative approach. It was possible to identify the importance of using the GeoGebra software in determining the notable points of a triangle, through document analysis based on 21 dissertations that make up the data corpus, and which were selected through databases and repositories, from descriptors previously established by the researcher. It was found that the use of referred software can contribute to the study of Geometry at this stage being: motivating, pleasurable, dynamic and inclusive, thus collaborating for the student to be critical, questioning, interactive and engaged.

Orthodoxy and Economy. The Ethics of the Christian East as a Possible Source of Lower Economic Results in Countries with a Majority of Orthodox Population
Authors:   Doctoral School in the Humanities at the University of Bialystok Poland, Młynarczyk Jarosław
Published: August 2023

The purpose of the article is to consider as broadly as possible the relationship between the faithful of the Orthodox Churches and their perception of the problem of economy. It aims to portray together different ways of understanding this concept – from the “economy of salvation,” through the ascetic economy (which is juxtaposed with Weber’s “intra-world asceticism”) to contemporary discussions on this subject both within the Orthodox Church and in relation to the latest economic indicators. It is argued that the current relatively low share of countries with a majority of Orthodox believers in the global GDP is rooted in a different than Western understanding of Christian ethics, and that the tradition of understanding it in this particular way is still alive.
Crisis is the Father of All Things. Punctuated Equilibrium as a Philosophical Concept (Part one: from Metaphysics to the Evolution of Cosmos and the Biosphere)
Authors:   Medical University of Bialystok Department of Psychology and Philosophy Poland, Breczko Jacek
Published: August 2023

In this article, I present a holistic view of a crisis, referring to Gould’s concept of “punctuated equilibrium” and making its philosophical extrapolation: from dynamic metaphysical approaches, through the evolution of cosmos, to the evolution of the biosphere (in the next article, I intend to present a similarly framed history of mankind). I argue that evolution on different levels of being occurs in a similar “rhythm.” In the first phase, the object (structure) is in a state of relative balance and slow (gradual) changes. This phase ends with a catastrophe, some sudden event (an external blow or an internal “rupture”), initiating a phase of rapid change that can be described as a crisis in the broad sense. These violent transformations grow until they reach a critical moment, a moment of culmination and solstice, which can be called a crisis in the strict sense. After this crisis, there is either the disintegration of the object (“death”), or the survival, but of the object already clearly changed. A new quality (a new whole) appears, which returns to a state of relative balance and slow changes. I also point to the resistance that such a dynamic vision of being elicited from philosophers, astronomers, and naturalists, suggesting that this sympathy for constancy is a variety of Baconian tribal idols.

In the Basic Programming subject, it contains numeracy skills. Meanwhile the 2018 PISA results stated that students' numeracy skills were weak. Basic Programming itself is a mandatory prerequisite material for vocational high school students which is quite difficult but very important to master. The application of Blended Learning DLPCA Models (BL-DLPCA Models) learning strategies is carried out to get the combined advantages of online learning and face-to-face learning. BL-DLPCA Models have a syntax namely Discover, Learn, Practice, Collaborate and Asses which aims to integrate instructors, students and are ready to use technology to meet challenges in learning. The use of BL-DLPCA Models learning strategies aims to improve students' numeracy skills in Basic Programming subjects. Quasi-experiment quantitative research design type pottest only control group design. The experimental group applied the BL-DLPCA Models and the both control group applied online and face-to-face learning strategies respectively. The results of the study stated that the use of BL-DLPCA Models learning strategies had a better effect on students' numeracy abilities in Basic Programming subjects compared to online and face-to-face learning strategies.AbstrakDidalam mata pelajaran Pemrograman Dasar memuat kemampuan numerasi.

China's Path towards Global Green Governance on Rare Earth Elements: Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Mangkubudi Joshua Gerry , Simanjuntak Triesanto Romulo
Published: August 2023

In light of surging demands for critical minerals and its rising profile as a global provider, China can no longer dismiss the negative ecological externalities resulting from its unregulated, near-monopoly production of rare earth elements (REE) since the 1970s. REE, consisting of 17 elements with naturally enhanced chemical properties, is critical for manufacturing future green infrastructures and technologies. However, the extraction and refining processes are resource-intensive and toxic to the immediate environment, further exacerbated by improper radioactive waste management, underfunded land restoration, and illegal mining. By extension, China’s supply supremacy came at the cost of socio-ecological deprivation disproportionately experienced by the local community compared to the beneficiary beyond borders. This study aims to assess the challenges and opportunities for China as they seek global leadership in green governance through its post-reform sustainable development model guided by Ecological Civilization (EC) principle. Using narrative analysis methods, we seek to assess the intersection among three threads: the historical account of China’s REE global dominance, their elite-based approach to governance, and the unmitigated socio-ecological impacts on the local community; regarding EC and its derivatives. While domestic consolidation is strategically integral to China’s EC-guided development agenda, it poses dormant risks of supply volatility for international markets, and innovative secondary production becomes the new source of competitive edge for supply diversification and norm-making power.

This study investigates the extent to which President Joe Biden's speech before the 77th session of the UN General Assembly reflects US foreign policy towards Russia and Ukraine. The sample of this study was sourced from manuscripts of President Joe Biden's speeches obtained through the official US state website (www.whitehouse.com), which were then elaborated with referential sources, such as website articles, online news, and journal articles accessed via Scopus and Google Scholar. The study used Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to analyze President Biden's speech, delivered on September 21, 2022. The speech was transcribed and analyzed utilizing the VOS Viewer and NVivo 12 Plus applications. The findings revealed that President Biden's speech emphasized the importance of the sovereign equality principle and criticized the inconsistent use of the Veto Right by Russia and the US in the UN Security Council. The speech also discouraged Russophobia and implied a willingness to engage in diplomatic negotiations with Russia. This research contributes to the literature on US foreign policy towards Russia and Ukraine by providing a detailed analysis of President Biden's speech. The findings suggest that the US is committed to upholding the sovereign equality principle and engaging in constructive diplomacy with Russia.
