A Method to Improve Exact Matching Results in Compressed Text using Parallel Wavelet Tree
Authors: Srivastav Shashank , Singh Pradeep Kumar , Yadav Divakar
Published: December 2021

The process of searching on the World Wide Web (WWW) is increasing regularly, and users around the world also use it regularly. In WWW the size of the text corpus is constantly increasing at an exponential rate, so we need an efficient indexing algorithm that reduces both space and time during the search process. This paper proposes a new technique that utilizes Word-Based Tagging Coding compression which is implemented using Parallel Wavelet Tree, called WBTC_PWT. WBTC_PWT uses the word-based tagging coding encoding technique to reduce the space complexity of the index and uses a parallel wavelet tree which reduces the time it takes to construct indexes. This technique utilizes the features of compressed pattern matching to minimize search time complexity. In this technique, all the unique words present in the text corpus are divided into different levels according to the word frequency table and a different wavelet tree is made for each level in parallel. Compared to other existing search algorithms based on compressed text, the proposed WBTC_PWT search method is significantly faster and it reduces the chances of getting the false matching result.

Published: December 2021

The MapReduce framework manages Big Data sets by splitting the large datasets into a set of distributed blocks and processes them in parallel. Data compression and in-memory file systems are widely used methods in Big Data processing to reduce resource-intensive I/O operations and improve I/O rate correspondingly. The article presents a performance-efficient modular and configurable decision-making robust service relying on data compression and in-memory data storage indicators. The service consists of Recommendation and Prediction modules, predicts the execution time of a given job based on metrics, and recommends the best configuration parameters to improve Hadoop and Spark frameworks' performance. Several CPU and data-intensive applications and micro-benchmarks have been evaluated to improve the performance, including Log Analyzer, WordCount, and K-Means.
Correction of hand deformities after burns
Authors: Son Daegu
Published: December 2021

Hand burns can lead to deformities even after successful primary healing. They are the most common cause of skin contracture involving the hand. This review article discusses ways to correct claw deformity, flexion contracture in the palm and finger, and web space contracture, which are post-burn hand deformities commonly encountered in clinical practice. Loss of skin is the end result in many cases of hand deformities after burns. Therefore, reinforcing the lost skin is the principle of corrective surgery. Even if the skin is thicker than the full-thickness skin, it will engraft if damage to the tissue and blood vessels of the recipient is minimized. The thicker the skin, the less re-contraction and growth occur. The foot is an ideal donor site for skin grafts on the hand. In particular, the instep or the area below the malleolar is a very good donor site. The first web space of the hand is very important for hand function, and it must be reconstructed with Z-plasty, a skin graft, and a free flap step by step according to the degree of contraction.

Naive Learning Through Probability Overmatching
Authors: Arieli Itai , Babichenko Yakov , Mueller-Frank Manuel
Published: December 2021

Naïve Learning in a Binary Action, Social Network Environment

In “Naïve Learning Through Probability Overmatching,” I. Arieli, Y. Babichenko, and M. Mueller-Frank consider an environment where privately informed agents select a binary action repeatedly observing the past actions of their neighbors in a social network. Rational inference has been shown to be exceedingly complex in this environment. Instead, this paper focuses on boundedly rational agents that form beliefs according to discretized DeGroot updating and apply a decision rule that assigns a (mixed) action to each belief. It is shown that naïve learning, where the long run actions of all agents are optimal given their pooled private information, can be achieved in any strongly connected network if beliefs satisfy a high level of inertia and the decision rule coincides with probability overmatching. The main difference to existing naïve learning results is that here it is shown to hold (1) for binary rather than uncountable action spaces and (2) even for network and information structures where Bayesian agents fail to learn.
Expanding the Locus of Resistance: Understanding the Co-constitution of Control and Resistance in the Gig Economy
Authors: Cameron Lindsey D. , Rahman Hatim
Published: December 2021

Existing literature examines control and resistance in the context of service organizations that rely on both managers and customers to control workers during the execution of work. Digital platform companies, however, eschew managers in favor of algorithmically mediated customer control—that is, customers rate workers, and algorithms tally and track these ratings to control workers’ future platform-based opportunities. How has this shift in the distribution of control among platforms, customers, and workers affected the relationship between control and resistance? Drawing on workers’ experiences from a comparative ethnography of two of the largest platform companies, we find that platform use of algorithmically mediated customer control has expanded the service encounter such that organizational control and workers’ resistance extend well beyond the execution of work. We find that workers have the most latitude to deploy resistance early in the labor process but must adjust their resistance tactics because their ability to resist decreases in each subsequent stage of the labor process. Our paper, thus, develops understanding of resistance by examining the relationship between control and resistance before, during, and after a task, providing insight into how control and resistance function in the gig economy. We also demonstrate the limitations of platforms’ reliance on algorithmically mediated customer control by illuminating how workers’ everyday interactions with customers can influence and manipulate algorithms in ways that platforms cannot always observe.
UMA PROPOSTA DE MODELO PARA A FORMAÇÃO DE PRECEDENTE: EXPOSIÇÃO E FUNCIONALIDADE A PARTIR DE EXAME DE CASO
Authors: Jardim Augusto Tanger , Gross Isadora Da Silva
Published: December 2021

O presente artigo busca definir o modo de formação dos precedentes a partir da decisão, propondo um modelo de aferição. O estudo inicialmente debruça-se sobre a dupla indeterminação do direito, a fim de descobrir se precedente é, ou não, a própria decisão. Num segundo momento, se apresenta uma proposta de modelo a partir da análise de pressupostos em uma dupla dimensão: uma interna à decisão e outra externa à decisão. Por fim, enfrenta-se o problema da decisão plural, desde uma perspectiva teórica, até o estudo analítico tomando como caso exemplificativo os fundamentos decisórios expostos no julgamento do HC 126.292, do STF. A partir dos pressupostos traçados, conclui-se que a delimitação clara dos fundamentos decisórios se mostra importante à formação (mas também à aplicação) dos precedentes e, em última instância, à unidade do direito.

Alignment of the Philippine Mathematics Teacher Education Curriculum with the Programme for International Student Assessment
Authors: Balagtas Marilyn U.
Published: December 2021

This study aimed to examine the alignment of the Philippine mathematics teacher education curriculum with the 2021 mathematics literacy framework of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Such study could inform the Philippine Commission on Higher Education (CHED) if its mandated bachelor’s degree in secondary education major in mathematics could produce teachers at the secondary level prepared to deliver the expectations of PISA to mathematically literate 15-year-old learners. Through document analysis, the researcher reviewed the alignment of two official documents accessible online: the 2017 Philippine mathematics teacher education curriculum and the 2021 PISA mathematics literacy framework. Three mathematics education experts validated the researcher’s analysis. The results revealed alignment of the content and competencies covered by the teacher education curriculum and PISA mathematics literacy framework. However, the researcher found gaps in the curriculum in terms of its responsiveness in capturing some contexts and 21st century skills emphasized in PISA 2021 mathematics literacy framework. The study provided recommendations in addressing the gaps to inform needed updating in the teacher education curriculum to meet the expectations of PISA as a step to meeting the international standards of quality educational program.
’MPower Shows Me Who I Want to Be’: A Qualitative Study of a Youth Purpose Program
Authors: Lincoln Brenna , Wood Willow , Reed Madeline , Sepulveda Jonathan , Liang Belle , Hill Nancy E. , Perella John
Published: December 2021

Studies have documented widespread academic disengagement in middle and high school students. This disengagement has been tied to a myriad of negative outcomes, including failure to graduate from high school and transition into college and meaningful vocations. Supporting adolescents in cultivating a sense of beyond-the-self purpose is one factor that may combat student disengagement. MPower is a program designed to cultivate beyond-the-self purpose in an effort to promote student engagement and completion of high school (Klein et al., 2019). In a recent quantitative study, MPower participants compared to controls demonstrated a higher GPA, BTS purpose, self-efficacy, and decreased performance approach and performance avoidance goal orientations. In the current qualitative descriptive study, 11th and 12th grade (N=25) students in the Northeastern region of the United States, described their experiences in the MPower program. Three themes associated with the transformative aspects of MPower emerged from focus group data: 1) practice in strategic goal planning, 2) engagement in mentoring relationships, and 3) increased social support within a community. Because fostering youth purpose engenders many promotive and protective factors, these findings hold important implications for implementing similar programs more widely.

Endeavors supporting college students’ positive psychosocial development are gaining attention and investment in various countries and social contexts. Higher education experiences provide new academic, social, and vocational advancement opportunities at a critical developmental stage. However, higher education can also cause distress due to the challenges and stressors present during this new stage of increased independence. The Social Emotional Health Survey-Higher Education (SEHS-HE) assesses the core psychosocial strengths of individuals transitioning from secondary schools into institutions of higher education (IHE) to aid campus student support services. The present study sought to extend the SEHS-HE research by examining its application with college student samples from Mexico (n = 4,207), United States (n = 1,638), and Spain (n = 1,734). Confirmatory factor analyses investigated the hypothesized SEHS-HE higher-order factor model. The Mexico sample returned an acceptable model fit, but the USA and Spain samples had a suboptimal fit; hence, we explored alternative models. A two-level structure had full invariance for all three samples. This study extends the current scholarship on the conceptual model and psychometric properties of SEHS-HE. The discussion focuses on implications for future research to enhance SEHS-HE in national and cross-national research and practice.

Authors: Caligiore-Gei Maria Gabriela , Ison-Zintilini Mirta Susana
Published: December 2021

The objective of this study was to design an instrument to evaluate parental involvement in the education of their children, and, subsequently, to investigate the content validity of that instrument. The questions on the questionnaire have been written according to the dimensions that shape the construct of parental participation: parenting, learning supervision, communication, parental networks, and relationships with the community. Further, for the study of content validity, expert judgment has been used, and the Aiken V coefficient has been estimated. The results indicate a wide degree of agreement among the judges, showing evidence of content validity regarding the criteria of clarity, relevance, and sufficiency of the questions with Aiken V values that ranged between 0.73 and 1, with confidence intervals of 99 %. It was concluded that the instrument can be used successfully in the evaluation of parental involvement in education.
Integration and volunteering: the case of first-generation immigrants to Canada
Authors: Stefanie Ruiz A. , Wang Lili , Handy Femida
Published: December 2021

This study investigates the association between the integration of first-generation immigrants and their volunteering. Using data from a Canadian national survey, we examine three dimensions of immigrant integration: professional, psychosocial and political. General volunteering is not significantly related to integration; however, there exists a relationship between the different dimensions of integration and where immigrants choose to volunteer. Thus, the relationship between the type and degree of immigrant integration and volunteering is nuanced; it matters where volunteering occurs.
All-fiber high-power spatiotemporal mode-locked laser based on multimode interference filtering

Published: December 2021

Multimode interference (MMI) has been considered to be critical and investigated extensively in mode-locked laser based on single transverse mode systems, whereas there are few researches related to three-dimensional nonlinear dynamics within lasers. In this paper, we demonstrate all-fiber high-power spatiotemporal mode-locked (STML) laser by optimizing MMI filtering, where we find that the MMI filtering plays an important role in counteracting the coupling of high-order modes and improving output power of STML laser. The results under weak coupling condition when the length of graded-index multimode fiber (GIMF) is integral multiple of beat length show that the oscillator generates dissipative soliton pulses at 1036.86 nm with pulse width of 5.65 ps, and the slope efficiency of pump-signal is up to 10.3% with average power/energy of 215 mW/6 nJ, which is the highest among all-fiber STML lasers in normal dispersion regime. Besides, the multiple-soliton of STML, including multiple pulses and harmonic mode-locking can be observed in the experiment. Our work significantly broadens the dimensions of design for all-fiber high-power STML and makes them much more accessible for being put into applications.
Shuffled rolling shutter for snapshot temporal imaging
Authors: Vera Esteban , Guzmán Felipe , Díaz Nelson
Published: December 2021

We propose a modification to the rolling shutter mechanism found in CMOS detectors by shuffling the pixels in every scanline. This potential hardware modification improves the sampling of the space-time datacube, allowing the recovery of high-speed videos from a single image using either tensor completion methods or reconstruction algorithms often used for compressive temporal video. We also present a design methodology for optimal sampling schemes and compare them to random shuffling. Simulations, and experimental results obtained by optically emulating the hardware, demonstrate the ability of the shuffled rolling shutter to capture images that allow reconstructing videos, which would otherwise be impossible when using the traditional rolling shutter mechanism.
Multi-scattering software part II: experimental validation for the light intensity distribution
Authors: Frantz David , Jönsson Joakim , Berrocal Edouard
Published: December 2021

This article, Part II of an article series on GPU-accelerated Monte Carlo simulation of photon transport through turbid media, focuses on the validation of the online software Multi-Scattering. While Part I detailed the implementation of the computational model, simulated and experimental results are now compared for the distribution of the scattered light intensity. The scattering phantoms prepared here are aqueous dispersions of polystyrene microspheres of diameter D = 0.5, 2 and 5 μm and at various concentrations, resulting in optical depth ranging from OD = 1 to 17.5. The Lorenz-Mie scattering phase functions used in the simulations have been verified experimentally at low particle concentrations by analyzing the angular light intensity distribution at the Fourier plane of a collecting lens. The validation approach herein accounts for the specific light collection and image formation by the camera. The front and side surfaces of the medium are imaged and the corresponding light intensity distributions are compared qualitatively and quantitatively. It is concluded that the model enables reliable simulations over the tested parameters, offering predictive simulations of transmitted intensities with a mean relative error ≤~19% over the full range. The online software is available at: https://multi-scattering.com/
Subwavelength generation of orientation-unlimited energy flow in 4π microscopy
Authors: Wang Sicong , Cao Hongkun , Sun Jialin , Qin Fei , Cao Yaoyu , Li Xiangping
Published: December 2021

Manipulation of light energy flow within the tight focus not only is important to the fundamental study of light-matter interactions but also underpins significant practical applications. However, the coupling between the electric and the magnetic fields of a focused light beam sets a fundamental barrier for independent control of these field components, restricting the focal energy flow primarily in the axial direction. In this paper, a 4π microscopic configuration is theoretically proposed to untangle the tight relation between the electric field and the magnetic field in a subwavelength-scale focal voxel. By independently altering the amplitudes of different field components in the focal region, energy flow with three-dimensionally unlimited orientation and ultra-high orientation purity (more than 90%) can be generated. This result expands the flexibility of energy flow manipulations and holds great potential in nanophotonics such as light scattering and optical force at subwavelength dimensions.
Enhanced refractometer for aqueous solutions based on perfluorinated polymer optical fibres
Authors: Roldán-Varona Pablo , Lomer Mauro , Algorri José Francisco , Rodríguez-Cobo Luis , López-Higuera José Miguel
Published: December 2021

The use of the new CYTOP (Cyclized Transparent Optical Polymer) fibres for the inscription of optical structures and the detection of different parameters has started to gain importance in the past decade. This work presents the design, simulation and manufacture of a CYTOP-based surrounding refractive index sensor for aqueous solutions, given its high sensitivity in the range 1.315 − 1.333 (at 1550 nm wavelength). The structure is based on a bent and polished fibre (in order to increase its sensitivity), the polished area being the surface on which a diffraction grating is inscribed with a femtosecond laser. The interaction of the field propagated by the fibre with the grating causes diffraction of certain orders towards the outside, depending, among other things, on the refractive index of the fluid. In addition to a maximum sensitivity of −208.8 nm/RIU and a remarkable insensitivity to temperature, it offers a spectral fingerprint of each sensed fluid.

Published: December 2021

The traits of two subspecies of western honey bees,Apis mellifera scutellataandA.m.capensis, endemic to the Republic of South Africa (RSA), are of biological and commercial relevance. Nevertheless, the genetic basis of important phenotypes found in these subspecies remains poorly understood. We performed a genome wide association study on three traits of biological relevance in 234A.m.capensis, 73A.m.scutellataand 158 hybrid individuals. Thirteen markers were significantly associated to at least one trait (P≤ 4.28 × 10−6): one for ovariole number, four for scutellar plate and eight for tergite color. We discovered two possible causative variants associated to the respective phenotypes: a deletion inGB46429orEbony(NC_007070.3:g.14101325G>del) (R69Efs*85) and a nonsense onGB54634(NC_007076.3:g.4492792A>G;p.Tyr128*) causing a premature stop, substantially shortening the predicted protein. The mutant genotypes are significantly associated to phenotypes inA.m.capensis. Loss-of-function ofEbonycan cause accumulation of circulating dopamine, and increased dopamine levels correlate to ovary development in queenless workers and pheromone production. Allelic association (P= 1.824 x 10−5) of NC_007076.3:g.4492792A>G;p.Tyr128* to ovariole number warrants further investigation into function and expression of theGB54634gene. Our results highlight genetic components of relevant production/conservation behavioral phenotypes in honey bees.
Quantitative photogrammetric methodology for measuring mammalian belly score in the painted dog
Authors: Rasmussen Gregory , Smultea Mari , Cloutier Tammy , Giordano Anthony , Kaplin Beth , Willey Lisabeth
Published: December 2021

The use of “belly scoring” can offer a novel, non-invasive objective management tool to gauge food intake between individuals, groups, and populations, and thus, population fitness. As food availability is increasingly affected by predation, ecological competition, climate change, habitat modification, and other human activities, an accurate belly scoring tool can facilitate comparisons among wildlife populations, serving as an early warning indicator of threats to wildlife population health and potential population collapse. In social species, belly scores can also be a tool to understand social behavior and ranking. We developed and applied the first rigorous quantitative photogrammetric methodology to measure belly scores of wild painted dogs (Lycaon pictus). Our methodology involves: (1) Rigorous selection of photographs of the dorso/lateral profile of individuals at a right angle to the camera, (2) photogrammetrically measuring belly chord length and “belly drop” in pixels, (3) adjusting belly chord length as a departure from a standardized leg angle, and (4) converting pixel measurements to ratios to eliminate the need to introduce distance from the camera. To highlight a practical application, this belly score method was applied to 631 suitable photographs of 15 painted dog packs that included 186 individuals, all collected between 2004–2015 from allopatric painted dog populations in and around Hwange (n = 462) and Mana Pools National Parks (n = 169) in Zimbabwe. Variation in mean belly scores exhibited a cyclical pattern throughout the year, corresponding to biologically significant patterns to include denning demand and prey availability. Our results show significant differences between belly scores of the two different populations we assessed, thus highlighting food stress in the Hwange population. In the face of growing direct and indirect anthropogenic disturbances, this standardised methodology can provide a rapid, species-specific non-invasive management tool that can be applied across studies to rapidly detect emergent threats.
Determinants of stadium attendance in Italian Serie A: New evidence based on fan expectations
Authors: Addesa Francesco , Bond Alexander John
Published: December 2021

This article aims to analyse the impact of the main determinants of match-day stadium attendance for seven seasons—2012–13 to 2018–19—of the Italian football Serie A. The main element of novelty is that the dataset is split into three sub-categories based on the pre-season fans’ expectations to verify whether the impact of attendance determinants varies depending on teams’ expected performance. Our results—based on Tobit model regressions—identify some significant differences across the three subsets. However, the difference that seems to be the most significant revealed a common preference of Italian fans towards higher quality opponents.

PREDICTORS OF ORAL INTAKE DIFFICULTY IN OLDER PATIENTS WITH DYSPHAGIA
Authors: Kuroda Y.
Published: December 2021

The aim of this study was to identify the predictors of oral intake difficulty in older patients with dysphagia. The subjects were 133 hospitalized older individuals with dysphagia. They were divided into two groups according to the oral intake ability: the oral intake and non-oral intake groups. Swallowing function was measured with a graded water swallowing test and a food intake level scale. Functional status was evaluated with a physical dependency scale and a comprehension scale. Nutritional status was measured with anthropometric measures and serum albumin levels. The non-oral intake group was significantly impaired in the swallowing measures, physical dependency, and mid-upper arm circumference. Multivariate analysis revealed that impairment in mid-upper arm circumference and graded water swallowing test were independently associated with oral intake difficulty. In conclusion, swallowing impairment, advanced body mass reduction, and physical dependency were the significant predictors of oral intake difficulty in older patients with dysphagia.
Pedagogy of hope: global learning and the future of education
Authors: Bourn Douglas
Published: December 2021

Global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate emergency campaigns and the Black Lives Matter movements have recently posed challenges for educationalists about their role, particularly in relation to promoting positive visions of the future. Development education and global learning has a major contribution to make within these agendas, particularly if it brings into its practices the ideas of Paulo Freire and his concept of the pedagogy of hope. Hope can often be considered an idealistic and utopian term, but if it is grounded in real life issues and challenges, then it can provide a valuable approach to learning about global issues. Recent examples in the UK and the initiative by UNESCO on Futures of Education demonstrate ways in which questions can be posed about the future of education that can be empowering to all learners.

It reflects on findings which provide strong evidence that walking in the shoes of other people encouraged the students to participate in critical discussion, deepen their knowledge and become emotionally engaged with global issues. It also explores some of the challenges created by conceptual confusions related to the cultural features within Kazakhstani society.
Decolonising development practice pedagogy: ways forward and persistent challenges in the synchronous online classroom
Authors: Van Houweling Emily
Published: December 2021

Although decolonisation is a pressing goal for many front-line instructors, there are few pedagogical resources for how to do this in the online environment. This article provides a set of strategic approaches that can help combat dominant power dynamics in the classroom and open opportunities for transformative learning. The research draws on instructor focus groups and student surveys from the synchronous, online Master of Development Practice programme at Regis University, USA. Six pedagogical approaches are described in light of their successes and remaining challenges: building community, learning from each other and co-creating knowledge, opening spaces for participation, de-centring Western voices and epistemologies, focusing on the critical thinking, reflection and action cycle and creating connection in virtual spaces.
Intra-individual changes in 3x2 achievement goals, friendship goals, motivational regulations and consequences in physical education

Published: December 2021

Introduction: This research examines intraindividual changes in 3x2 achievement goals in physical education classes during one semester, as well as the relationship of these changes with those in other motivational and outcome variables. Method: A total of 334 (178 boys and 156 girls) high school students (M = 13.12, SD = 1.05) completed five questionnaires in two different school years. Results: The results of the true intraindividual change model (TIC) provided unequivocal support for the separation of task-based and self-based goals, as well as the structures based on both valences of approach and avoidance. They also showed different intraindividual change patterns in the 3x2 achievement goals, indicating a progression in the stability of the goals depending on their definition. Intraindividual variability in achievement goals is directly related to intraindividual variability in dependent variables, with the task-approach goals TIC being the most adaptive. Conclusions: These goals should be prioritized.
Balance impairment caused by diazepam in 2 dogs with vestibular disease: case reports
Authors: Kim Hyunseok , Son Won-gyun , Lee Inhyung , Jang Min
Published: December 2021

Following intravenous (IV) administration of diazepam as a preanesthetic agent, sudden balance impairment, such as falling, leaning, and rolling, was identified in 2 canine cases. The 2 dogs were anesthetized for brain magnetic resonance scan to diagnose about a history of head tilt. After end of the diagnostic procedures, during the anesthetic recovery period, balance impairment was also observed. However, the symptoms gradually ceased by IV administration of flumazenil. These 2 canine cases indicated that diazepam premedication was responsible for the acute balance impairment.
Re-reading the history of divorces in terms of territories (France, 1884-1913)
Authors: Brée Sandra
Published: December 2021

This paper proposes a re-reading of the history of divorces from the re-establishment of divorce in France in 1884 until the eve of the First World War, by distinguishing three major territories: the urban population, the rural population and the Department of the Seine. To refine the analysis, we will add data distinguishing Paris from its suburbs, within the Seine Department. The interest of the analysis, beyond measuring the level of divorces in these territories, is to answer the question of the homogenisation of divorce behaviour between 1884 and 1913. The available sources also provide details on divorces, which are generally unavailable outside the national level, such as which spouse obtained the divorce, the reason for the divorce, the length of the marriage, the age and age difference between the two spouses, and the number of children of divorced couples. In addition to measuring the levels of divorces in these territories, the aim will therefore be to find out whether the characteristics of divorces are the same in the urban and rural populations and in the Seine Department and, if not, to try to understand why they diverge.

This research article is the result of research conducted on PKK cadre teams in Bandung, Sumedang, and Banjar districts. When hoaxes and health information become studies that have an impact on people's lives, it seems like something normal. In fact, who would have thought that the hoax of health information could have fatal consequences for some people, especially in the case of this article being reviewed is the PKK cadre team in the area. Another interesting thing is that the hoax of health information was felt by cadre mothers recently, more precisely during the post truth era. This phenomenon becomes interesting to be studied in depth, therefore the authors describe the findings from observations and interviews in the field. The findings generated in this study are; 1) the hoax health information spreads quickly so that it is difficult for cadre mothers to distinguish and confirm the accuracy of the information; 2) there were some female cadres who were trapped in the hoax of health information and then practiced what was conveyed in the hoax information; 3) the communication process carried out by the cadre mothers in dealing with the hoax of health information can be described starting from the communicator, messages, communicants, and the effects felt by the cadre.

This study discusses the phenomenon of fujoshi, a popular culture from Japan. Fujoshi is a woman's passion for manga or comics genre boys love, where the manga tells the story of the love relationship between men. This research was conducted using a qualitative research method with a virtual ethnography method approach, where the researcher traced twitter accounts that were actively uploading about the manga boys love. This study tries to describe how the identity of fujoshi is formed which shows the manga boys love fondness on social media, especially in twitter. The result of this study is that fujoshi still be considered as an abnormality and also considered to violate the norms of the society. However, social media is able to provide space for free expression to show the identity of their preferences without getting any social sanctions. Social media also builds the fujoshi identity which was initially considered a deviation, has now been accepted and spawned more works and formed a community that has the same passion for manga boys love that is bigger than before.

Polimer Poli Asam Laktat Glikolat (PLGA) merupakan salah satu jenis polimer yang telah disetujui FDA dan EMA untuk penggunaan biomedik. Kelebihan PLGA yaitu biokompatibilitas, biodegradabilitas, fleksibilitas, dan efek samping yang minimal. PLGA telah dikembangkan untuk penggunaan medis namun pemenuhannya masih berupa impor. Oleh karena itu, pada penelitian ini monomer asam laktat dari limbah pati aren dan asam glikolat dengan rasio LA:GA = 75%:25%; 90%:10%; 95%:5%; direaksikan secara Ring Opening Polymerization (ROP) dengan bantuan katalis Sn(II) Oktoat membentuk PLGA. PLGA hasil kemudian ditambahkan PVA, dengan rasio PLGA:PVA 3:2; 3:3; 3:4; dan 3:5 dengan metode solution casting membentuk film. Penelitian dilakukan secara eksperimental dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) faktorial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya kombinasi rasio LA:GA dan rasio penambahan PVA mempengaruhi karakteristik film PLGA.  Hasil kekakuan dan Modulus Young film PLGA tertinggi pada kombinasi penambahan rasio LA:GA = 75%:25% dan penambahan rasio PLGA:PVA =3:4. Biodegrabilitas film PLGA terbaik pada kombinasi penambahan rasio LA:GA 90%:10% dan penambahan rasio PLGA:PVA 3:4. Film PLGA memiliki biokompatibilitas yang baik pada semua rasio LA:GA, dengan penambahan rasio PLGA:PVA lebih dari 3:2. Hasil film PLGA memiliki morfologi permukaan paling halus pada rasio penambahan PLGA : PVA 3:2, dan memiliki struktur semi kristalin.Lactic Glycolic Acid Polymer (PLGA) is a type of polymer that has been approved by the FDA and EMA for biomedical use. The advantages of PLGA are biocompatibility, biodegradability, flexibility, and minimal side effects. PLGA has been developed for medical use but fulfillment is still imported. Therefore, in this study, the lactic acid monomer from waste palm starch and glycolic acid with a ratio of LA: GA = 75%: 25%; 90%: 10%; 95%: 5%; reacted with Ring Opening Polymerization (ROP) with the help of a catalyst Sn (II) Octoate to form PLGA. The resulting PLGA was then added with PVA, with a ratio of PLGA: PVA 3: 2; 3: 3; 3: 4; and 3: 5 with the solution casting method forming the film. This research was conducted experimentally with a factorial completely randomized design (CRD). The results showed that the combination of LA: GA ratio and PVA addition ratio affected the PLGA film characteristics. The results of stiffness and Young's Modulus of PLGA film were highest in the combination of addition of the ratio of LA: GA = 75%: 25% and the addition of the ratio of PLGA: PVA = 3: 4. The best PLGA film biodegradability was combined with the addition of the ratio of LA: GA 90%: 10% and the addition of the PLGA: PVA ratio 3: 4. PLGA film has good biocompatibility in all LA: GA ratios, with the addition of a PLGA: PVA ratio of more than 3: 2. The results of the PLGA film had the smoothest surface morphology at the ratio of addition of PLGA: PVA 3: 2, and had a semi-crystalline structure.

Tahun 2020 merupakan tahun yang cukup sulit bagi masyarakat Indonesia. Adanya virus corona jenis baru memaksa masyarakat untuk beradaptasi dengan kebiasaan baru. Salah satu masalah terbesar yang dihadapi adalah dengan adanya kebijakan lockdown  yang menyebabkan sulitnya distribusi bahan pangan. Oleh sebab itu edukasi masyarakat untuk memanfaatkan lahan pekarangan secara organik dengan mengoptimalkan sumber daya yang ada disekitar pekarangan rumah perlu dilakukan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui respon tanaman cabai keriting dengan menggunakan pupuk fermentasi urin sapi. Penelitian dilakukan dengan cara memberikan perlakuan variasi pemupukan dengan mencampur urin sapi dan EM4 (perlakuan A); urin sapi, EM4, dan batang pohon pisang (perlakuan B); urin sapi, EM4, dan sabut kelapa (perlakuan C); dan urin sapi, EM4, dan akar kacang tanah (perlakuan D). Parameter yang diamati dalam penelitian ini adalah tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, diameter batang, dan bobot biomassa kering tanaman.  Perlakuan penambahan sabut kelapa pada fermentasi urin sapi memberikan pengaruh yang nyata pada parameter tinggi tanaman. Sedangkan penambahan akar kacang tanah pada fermentasi pupuk urin sapi meningkatkan bobot biomassa kering tanaman secara signifikan. Penambahan batang pohon pisang pada fermentasi urin sapi secara nyata memberikan pengaruh terhadap diameter batang tanaman cabai keriting. Akan tetapi, jumlah daun tidak menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan dari semua jenis pemupukan. The year 2020 is quite a difficult year for the people of Indonesia. The existence of a new coronavirus type forces people to adapt to new habits. One of the biggest problems faced is the lockdown policy which makes it difficult for food distribution. Therefore, it is necessary to educate the public to utilize the yard organically by optimizing the existing resources around the yard of the house. This study aimed to determine the response of curly chili plants using cow urine fermentation fertilizer. The research was conducted by giving various fertilization treatments by mixing cow urine and EM4 (treatment A); cow urine, EM4, and banana tree trunks (treatment B); cow urine, EM4, and coconut husk (treatment C); and cow urine, EM4, and groundnut root (treatment D). Parameters observed in this study were plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, and dry biomass weight of the plant. The addition of coconut fiber in cow urine fermentation has a significant effect on plant height parameters. Meanwhile, the addition of groundnut roots to fermented cow urine fertilizer increased the dry biomass weight of the plant significantly. The addition of banana tree trunks to cow urine fermentation significantly affected the stem diameter of curly chili plants. However, the number of leaves did not show a significant difference between all types of fertilization.

Książka Ewy Szkudlarek Portrety cieni Witkacego jest nowatorskim spojrzeniem na twórczość Stanisława Ignacego Witkiewicza. Autorka przedstawiła wizualne i metaforyczne aspekty cieni, poddając analizie wszystkie dziedziny twórczości artysty, dotąd niedostrzeżone przez innych badaczy. Cień jest tym czynnikiem, który łączy i różnicuje całą twórczość zakopiańskiego artysty. Wieloaspektowość cienia w ujęciu kulturowym, psychologicznym, psychoanalitycznym, egzystencjalnym spaja twórczość Witkacego. Cień pełni funkcję metafory ludzkiej kondycji, jej kruchości i ostateczności.
