Musique, cerveau et mémoire : une approche neuropsychologique
Authors: Platel Hervé
Published: February 2025

La question de la mémoire musicale, de sa spécificité et de son indépendance, a fait pendant longtemps l’objet de peu de travaux scientifiques. Ainsi, les études de neuropsychologie de la musique sont restées largement centrées sur les dimensions psychoacoustiques et les aspects élémentaires de la perception musicale durant de nombreuses années. Ce sont les neurosciences cliniques et expérimentales qui, depuis le début des années 2000, en partant des modèles cognitifs de la mémoire humaine, commencent à apporter de nouveaux éléments sur l’impact des pratiques musicales sur la mémoire, et les spécificités neurales des mécanismes de mémoire impliqués dans l’écoute et la pratique de la musique. Après avoir rappelé l’apport des travaux classiques de neuropsychologie de la musique, nous donnerons quelques exemples d’études montrant comment la pratique musicale impacte très clairement les circuits cérébraux de la mémoire, et quelles sont les retombées cliniques de ces résultats.

Introduction. L’envers des données ou le réel de l’humain
Authors: Muka Tshibende Louis-Daniel , Marin Pascal
Published: February 2025

L’humain et la donnée. Cette conjonction marque l’avènement dans la culture d’un étrange conflit. Comme si les données pouvaient exister sans l’humain, son pouvoir de les générer, de les récolter et d’en faire quelque chose. Mais dans notre civilisation des sciences et des techniques, nous sommes tenus désormais par l’idée d’une équivalence entre l’homme et la machine, intelligence artificielle et robotique autonome. Les données, dit-on à présent, pourraient rendre exhaustivement compte de l’humain, voire bientôt en venir à le reproduire et en mieux. Ainsi, précurseur de cette pensée, le mathématicien Alan Turing proposait qu’un homme qui calcule est tel une machine qui calcule. Le philosophe Ludwig Wittgenstein lui a toutefois répondu que lorsque les machines calculent, ce sont en réalité des hommes qui calculent (Casilli, 2019). Cette parole d’humaine sagesse pourrait introduire les articles du dossier, lesquels résistent, chacun à sa manière, entre philosophie et droit, à la réduction ambiante de l’humain aux données. Tous regardent à l’inverse les données à partir de l’humain. Et la question à se poser in fine serait : est-il même possible de procéder autrement ?

Sortez masqué ! La petite histoire du masque au cours du temps
Authors: Coito Sylvie
Published: February 2025

Le masque s’est répandu dans la population générale depuis un peu plus d’un an. Jusque là apanage des services de santé, son port fait partie du quotidien depuis début 2020. Ce masque est pourtant présent depuis la préhistoire. D’abord « magique », puis protecteur dans certains métiers, il devint tristement célèbre lorsque les médecins de la peste le portèrent afin de se prémunir des miasmes de ce fléau. Son apparition était de mauvais augure et annonçait un destin funeste. La découverte de la transmission des germes par les gouttelettes de salive entraîna une prise de conscience de l’intérêt de protéger ses voies respiratoires. Mais il fallut du temps, de nouvelles épidémies de peste, de grippe et de Covid-19 pour généraliser le port du masque.
Gérer les profils d’intérêt des élèves pour les jeux vidéo actifs : comparaison de deux modes de jeu Play Lü
Authors: Cece Valérian , Roure Cédric , Lentillon-Kaestner Vanessa
Published: February 2025

Les jeux vidéo actifs semblent posséder certaines caractéristiques utiles pour gérer l’hétérogénéité des profils motivationnels d’élèves en éducation physique et sportive. Les objectifs de cette étude étaient (1) d’identifier des profils d’élèves différents au niveau de leur intérêt individuel pour les jeux vidéo actifs et (2) de comparer deux modes de jeu Play Lü® (en solitaire ou en équipe) au niveau de la motivation et de l’activité physique afin de comprendre comment gérer des profils motivationnels différents d’élèves. Un design contrebalancé a été utilisé pour comparer les deux modes de jeu avec des prises de mesure sur l’intérêt des élèves et leur activité physique. Les résultats recueillis chez 128 élèves (M âge =13.9) ont tout d’abord mis en évidence la présence de trois profils d’intérêt différents pour les jeux vidéo actifs. Même si la motivation et l’activité physique étaient généralement plus élevées dans le mode par équipe pour l’ensemble des trois profils, les analyses ont cependant révélé que le mode par équipe avait le plus bénéficié au profil d’élèves ayant un intérêt individuel faible pour les jeux vidéo actifs. Ces résultats confirment que la gestion des profils motivationnels par l’utilisation des jeux vidéo actifs est conditionnée par la modalité proposée.

La réception de la littérature nordique : un modèle démasqué ?
Authors: Eriksen Margrethe Lykke
Published: February 2025

L’article présente les résultats de l’analyse d’un corpus de documents dont la publication va de 2000 à aujourd’hui et qui portent sur la littérature nordique : critiques littéraires parues dans la presse francophone européenne, d’une part, et articles ou commentaires de blogs sur Internet, d’autre part. Il s’agit de saisir le caractère, l’origine et les motivations des horizons d’attente particuliers au public francophone ; mais aussi d’examiner le lien possible entre certains types de textes et des caractéristiques de la réception. Il y a lieu de constater que certains textes, notamment les polars, induisent, chez le lecteur francophone, le sentiment que les auteurs nordiques démasquent les représentations idéalisées de leur pays.
Bonheur danois – mal-être français
Authors: Auchet Marc
Published: February 2025

De nombreuses enquêtes ont montré que les Danois estiment être le peuple le plus heureux du monde, tandis que les Français apparaissent souvent comme les champions du pessimisme. Cet essai insiste sur la dimension subjective du bien-être et il montre l’importance des questions culturelles et de mentalités. La recherche du consensus et la confiance, typiques de la société danoise, s’opposent à la dramatisation des conflits et à la méfiance, caractéristiques de l’esprit français. La société danoise se distingue aussi par une forte propension au conformisme, qui n’encourage pas à la contestation, alors que les intellectuels français remettent volontiers en cause la société dans laquelle ils vivent. L’Histoire a marqué aussi fortement les esprits. Des guerres perdues contre la Prusse, en 1864, pour le Danemark, en 1871, pour la France, ont amputé les territoires de ces deux pays. Les Danois se sont résignés, alors que les Français n’ont eu de cesse qu’ils aient pris leur revanche. Pragmatisme d’un côté, sens de la grandeur de l’autre. Comme celles des autres pays scandinaves, la mentalité danoise est fortement attachée à la notion de sécurité matérielle, comprise comme un bonheur simple, lié au confort de la vie quotidienne. Pour les Français, souvent portés à l’idéalisme, le bonheur a quelque chose de plus élevé et de plus exigeant.

Processing of Child Sexual Abuse: A Grounded Theory Approach to Understand Experiences of Survivors
Authors: Kolavarambath Radhika , Munivenkatappa Manjula , Bhaskarapillai Binukumar
Published: February 2025

Objectives:

There are numerous studies on child sexual abuse (CSA). However, there is a lack of comprehensive explanatory models which delve into the causal, contributing factors and consequences of CSA. In this background, the study aims to propose a conceptual model of the dynamic factors determining the individual differences in the impact of CSA) on adult survivors, within the Indian cultural context.

Materials and Methods:

Twenty participants were selected through purposive sampling. Those diagnosed with common mental disorders and histories of CSA in the age range of 18–35 years were included from the outpatient departments of a tertiary psychiatric hospital. Semi-structured interviews were conducted adhering to Strauss and Corbin’s principles of grounded theory for data collection and analysis, and the interviews were audio recorded.

Results:

Ten major categories were generated, including contextual factors, causal factors, attribution of CSA, and the reactions toward abuse. Variation in the combination of these factors determined the core phenomenon – flow in processing (phases of processing of CSA), leading to unique long-term outcomes for survivors.

Conclusion:

The study suggested that survivors go through different phases of processing of CSA at different points in time, based on causal and intervening factors. The recommended components of treatment in each phase are further discussed.
Cessation Behavior among Smokeless Tobacco Users in India: A Secondary Analysis of Two Rounds of Global Adult Tobacco Surveys
Authors: Maniyara Karthika , Davuluri Santhi Priyadarshini , Palle Edukondal , Kodali Prakash Babu
Published: February 2025

Objective:

Smokeless tobacco (SLT) is a prominent form of tobacco use in India. We conducted this secondary analysis to study changes in SLT cessation behavior and its correlates from 2009–2010 to 2016–2017 by analyzing Global Adult Tobacco Surveys (GATS).

Methods:

An analysis of two rounds of GATS data (GATS-1 [n] =69,296 and GATS-2 [n] =74,037) was conducted. Cessation behavior was defined as previous attempts in the preceding 12 months, and intention to quit tobacco within 12 months following the survey. The percentage prevalence was calculated, and relative change in prevalence measures was computed. Correlates of cessation behavior were identified by employing binary logistic regression.

Results:

The prevalence of SLT use decreased from 25.9% (GATS-1) to 21.4% (GATS-2). Previous quit attempts decreased from 33.7% (GATS-1) to 32.0% (GATS-2), and intention to quit within the next 12 months decreased from 27.2% (GATS-1) to 19.4% (GATS-2). SLT users who also smoke daily had lower odds of attempting to quit previously (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] =0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] =0.55–0.68) and intending to quit in future (AOR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.67–0.86) in both GATS-1 and GATS-2. A higher level of education increased the odds of cessation attempts, while smoking daily lowered the odds of attempting and intending to quit SLT both in GATS-1 and GATS-2.

Conclusions:

Although SLT use has declined over the years, this decrease was not accompanied by an increase in quit attempts or intention to quit. Utilization of professional cessation services, including counseling, nicotine replacement therapy, and mCessation, remains low. Enhancing awareness and expanding cessation services are crucial for improving tobacco quit rates.
Bounding entropy for one-parameter diagonal flows on $\mathrm{SL}_{\mathtt{d}}(\mathbb{R})/\mathrm{SL}_{\mathtt{d}}(\mathbb{Z})$ using linear functionals
Authors: Mor Ron
Published: February 2025

We give a method to bound the entropy of measures on

\mathrm{SL}_{\mathtt{d}}(\mathbb{R})/\mathrm{SL}_{\mathtt{d}}(\mathbb{Z})

, which are invariant under a one-parameter diagonal subgroup, in terms of entropy contributions from the regions of the cusp corresponding to different parabolic groups. These bounds depend on an auxiliary linear functional on the Lie algebra of the Cartan group. In follow-up papers, we will show how to optimize this functional to get good bounds on the cusp entropy and prove that in many cases these bounds are sharp.

Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Lymph node status is a critical prognostic factor in gastric cancer (GC), but stage migration may occur in pathological lymph nodes (pN) staging. To address this, alternative staging systems such as the positive lymph node ratio (LNR) and log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) were introduced.

AIM

To assess the prognostic accuracy and stratification efficacy of three nodal staging systems in GC.

METHODS

A systematic review identified 12 studies, from which hazard ratios (HRs) for overall survival (OS) were summarized. Sensitivity analyses, subgroup analyses, publication bias assessments, and quality evaluations were conducted. To enhance comparability, data from studies with identical cutoff values for pN, LNR, and LODDS were pooled. Homogeneous stratification was then applied to generate Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival curves, assessing the stratification efficacy of three staging systems.

RESULTS

The HRs and 95% confidence intervals for pN, LNR, and LODDS were 2.16 (1.72-2.73), 2.05 (1.65-2.55), and 3.15 (2.15-4.37), respectively, confirming all three as independent prognostic risk factors for OS. Comparative analysis of HRs demonstrated that LODDS had superior prognostic predictive power over LNR and pN. KM curves for pN (N0, N1, N2, N3a, N3b), LNR (0.1/0.2/0.5), and LODDS (-1.5/-1.0/-0.5/0) revealed significant differences (P < 0.001) among all prognostic stratifications. Mean differences and standard deviations in 60-month relative survival were 27.93% ± 0.29%, 41.70% ± 0.30%, and 26.60% ± 0.28% for pN, LNR, and LODDS, respectively.

CONCLUSION

All three staging systems are independent prognostic factors for OS. LODDS demonstrated the highest specificity, making it especially useful for predicting outcomes, while pN was the most effective in homogeneous stratification, offering better patient differentiation. These findings highlight the complementary roles of LODDS and pN in enhancing prognostic accuracy and stratification.

Published: February 2025

This study is aimed at delineating groundwater aquifer and subsurface structures of some selected areas within Chikun local government area of Kaduna State, Nigeria, using the Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) method. To obtain the electrical resistivity values of the subsurface within the study area, electric current was conducted into the ground through two current electrodes while measuring the corresponding values of the potential difference using two potential electrodes. VES was conducted in twenty (20) different stations and was named profiles A, B, C and D with each having five stations with several layers, and four Vertical Electrical Sounding curves which were A, H, Q and QH were obtained. The results obtained from Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) revealed the aquifer was at depths 7.3 m, 0.141 m 22.7 m, and 14 m for VES A, B, C and D respectively. Results from the 2D map revealed low resistivity within the weathered basement and fracture basement with resistivity values ranging between 1.929 – 885 Ωm which correlates with the results obtained from the VES. The reflection coefficient (r) was used to determine the aquifer protective capacity of the study area and the isoresistvity map depicted that 7% was good (with r values ranging between 0.8 – 4.9), 43% was moderate (with r values ranging between 0.2 - 0.79), 33% was weak (with r values ranging between 0.10 - 0.19) and 17% was poor (with r values <0.10). Aquifer with low reflection coefficient values (r<0.8) favors groundwater potentiality but with high vulnerability to contamination. The study area has an aquiferous zone characterized by fractures and porosity aiding groundwater permeability and storage.
A Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Analysis of Young Pilgrimage Generation Campaign Program in Indonesia
Authors: Gustira Yolandari , Juwono Vishnu
Published: February 2025

The Hajj pilgrimage is the fifth pillar of Islam and serves as a fundamental guideline for Muslim life. This pilgrimage is generally carried out by individuals who are physically and financially capable of visiting the holy land of Mecca. Indonesia, which is a country with the largest Muslim population in the world, has been observed to send the highest number of pilgrims to Hajj each year, with an average quota of 221,000. Considering the significance and potential of this event, an institution was authorized by the government to regulate and manage its finances, namely the Hajj Financial Management Agency (BPKH). This institution was developed with the primary aim of resolving issues related to the health of pilgrims and the prolonged period of departure. These delays have been observed to be particularly disadvantageous to the pilgrims, the majority of whom (60-75%) are elderly people aged between 50 to 70 years. Typically, BPKH anticipates resolving and preventing the associated problems of prolonged departure through the Young Hajj Campaign Program launched in 2021. In order to achieve the study objective, a quantitative study approach was adopted. Data collection was carried out through the administration of questionnaires, after which the implementation of the Young Hajj Campaign Program with the SWOT analysis approach was evaluated. The SWOT analysis was adopted to test each internal (Strength & Weakness), and external (Opportunity & Threat) factors with the aim of assessing the success and achievement of the Young Hajj Campaign Program by BPKH.

Published: February 2025

The integration of technology in educational settings impacts students’ learning styles, enhances engagement through personalized learning approaches, and improves academic performance in English. This study explored the relationship between technology integration, learning styles, and academic performance in English among Grade 12 SHS students in an institution in Ozamiz City. A quantitative study with a descriptive-correlational design was utilized involving 241 Grade 12 students selected through random sampling. Questionnaires were used to assess technology use in instruction, students’ learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic), and academic performance, analyzed using Mean, Standard Deviation, Frequency, Percentage, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The findings revealed that despite high levels of technology use in education and good learning styles among students, these factors do not significantly impact their academic performance in English. The result suggests that other variables have influenced academic outcomes more than technology use and learning styles. The research findings consistently indicate no significant correlation between teachers’ use of technology in instruction and students’ academic performance in English. Similarly, there is no significant relationship between students’ learning styles and their academic performance in English. To enhance academic performance in English despite varying learning styles and the lack of significant correlation with technology use, educators should employ diverse instructional methods, foster positive interactions, and set meaningful goals to motivate students.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to explore the relationships between learning flexibility, the learning environment, and online learning experiences among undergraduate students in Malaysia, particularly in light of the global health crisis. With the widespread shift to online learning, understanding the factors that affect its effectiveness is vital, especially as it influences the competitive performance of educational institutions. The study also investigates the potential role of gender differences in shaping students’ online learning experiences. To gather data, survey questions from previous research were adapted and distributed to a sample of 129 undergraduate students at a UiTM branch campus, all of whom participated in online learning during the previous semester. The results reveal significant relationships between learning flexibility (r = 0.395), the learning environment (r = 0.619), and online learning outcomes. Moreover, the findings show a moderate level of engagement and success in online learning among the students (p-value less than 0.05), with gender differences contributing to variations in the experiences and outcomes of online learning. Based on the results, the study emphasizes the importance of incorporating interactive tools, such as quizzes, to improve students’ comprehension and engagement in online courses. These findings suggest that online learning can be optimized by considering flexibility in learning schedules and environments, as well as by addressing gender-specific challenges. The study calls for further research into these factors to better understand and enhance the online learning experience in the evolving landscape of higher education.

Authors: Mudimba Cavin Jeffry
Published: February 2025

This study examines the impact of non-current assets disclosure on the quality of financial reporting in churches and church-owned schools. Non-current assets, such as land, buildings, and equipment are crucial components of these institutions’ financial statements, yet their reporting is often characterized by inconsistencies and inadequate transparency. The research explores how detailed and accurate disclosure of these assets enhances accountability, aids decision-making, and ensures compliance with financial reporting standards. Using a mixed-methods approach, primary data was collected through surveys and interviews with accountants, auditors, and administrators from selected churches and church-owned schools. Secondary data from financial statements were analyzed to assess the extent and quality of non-current asset disclosure. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between comprehensive asset disclosure and financial reporting quality, highlighting the role of disclosure in improving stakeholders’ trust and organizational credibility. This study underscores the need for robust financial policies and adherence to reporting standards to promote transparency and accountability in faith-based institutions. Recommendations include capacity building for financial personnel and adopting standardized frameworks tailored to these organizations.

Authors: Saefudin Arif
Published: February 2025

The problem of lack of historical thinking skillors training among prospective history teachers poses a challenge to effective history education. This study aims to address the problem of a lack of training in historical thinking skills among prospective secondary school history teachers by evaluating their level of training and perceptions of innovation in history education. The study used grounded theory-based qualitative analysis involving 65 prospective history teachers enrolled in the Bachelor of History Education programme at PGRI University Yogyakarta from 2021 to 2023. The training was classified into three levels: none, declarative, and applicative, and analysed in the context of participants' views on curriculum models and educational innovation. The results of the analyses showed that most prospective history teachers were still at the declarative level of knowledge, with only a minority reaching the applicative level, which indicates a deeper understanding of pedagogical content. Those who reached the applicative level were mainly actively involved in innovative history learning courses, which provided critical perspectives on curriculum content and practical teaching experience. This research contributes to history education by emphasising the importance of integrating historical thinking skills into teacher training programmes. It addresses a critical gap in the literature by providing an evidence-based framework for evaluating and enhancing the pedagogical readiness of prospective history teachers. Additionally, it demonstrates the positive impact of innovative educational practices in developing these essential skills, offering valuable insights for curriculum developers and educators aiming to improve history teacher education.
Thrombolite in Early Ordovician Microbial Reef,South China: A Case Study of the Huanghuachang Section in Yichang
Authors:   School of Earth Science and Resources, China University of Geosciences (Beijing), TANG Haobo
Published: February 2025

A set of microbial reef is developed in the Honghuayuan Formation at the Huanghuachang section in the Yichang, Hubei Province. The microbial reef contains well-preserved thrombolites, one of the important types of microbial carbonate (i. e. thrombolite) . Based on the previous studies on the reef-building role of the metazoan and metazoan communities in Early Ordovician reefs in South China, this paper mainly studied the formation mechanism of thrombolite in microbial reefs by combining the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of microbial reef through fieldwork and sampling and indoor mill observation. The results showed that the microbial reefs of the Honghuayuan Formation in the Huanghuachang section are dominated by thrombolite, accompanied by a small number of metazoan fossils, such as Calathium , lithistid sponge, bryozoan, etc. This reef represents a special type of microbial reefs in the Early Ordovician, that is, the microbial reefs are dominated by microbial carbonate, and locally metazoan is involved in the reef formation which is a special type of reef in the transition process from microbial reefs to metazoan reefs. At the same time, a large number of calcified cyanobacterial fossils are found in the thrombolite, such as Gerwanella, Subtifloria and Nuia, and the more intuitive calcified cyanobacteria showed that the thrombolites are the products of sedimentation, aggregation and early petrification of biofilm or mats dominated by cyanobacteria, indicating that there was a very close relationship between thrombolite and the complex calcification of microbial mats dominated by cyanobacteria. This study provides a typical example for the study of the formation mechanism of thrombolite in the Early Ordovician microbial reefs in South China and the transition period from microbial reefs to metazoan reefs.
Study of PD-1/LAG-3 signaling in T cells and development of therapeutic strategies to counteract PD-1/LAG-3 mediated resistance to cancer immunotherapy

Published: February 2025

A significant number of cancer patients do not benefit from PD-L1/PD-1 blockade immunotherapies. PD-1 and LAG-3 co-upregulation in T-cells is one of the major mechanisms of resistance by establishing a highly dysfunctional state in T-cells. However, how LAG-3 mechanistically triggers its downstream inhibitory signalling remains largely unknown. Likewise, how LAG-3 cooperates with PD-1 to stablish a highly dysfunctional state in T cells in cancer is also unknown. A better understanding of LAG-3 and PD-1/LAG-3 signaling will uncover the reasons behind intrinsic resistance to PD-1 blockade, develop novel treatments and improve current therapies. This PhD thesis comprises the study of PD-1/LAG-3 signaling in T-cells and the development of therapeutic strategies to counteract PD-1/LAG-3-mediated resistance to cancer immunotherapy. The results of this thesis have been organized into three chapters. In chapter 1, PD-1/LAG-3 molecular co-signaling mechanisms were identified in T-cells, uncovering CBLB ubiquitin ligases as potential targets. The combination of CBL-B inhibitors with anti-PD- 1/anti-LAG-3 immunotherapies overcame PD-1/LAG-3-mediated resistance in models of lung cancer refractory to immunotherapies. In chapter 2, the consequences of PD-1/LAG-3 cosignaling over the proteome and phosphoproteome associated to the TCR signalosome were characterized. MYC was identified as an inhibited upstream regulator of PD-1/LAG-3 proteomes and phosphoproteomes in T-cells. In chapter 3, T-cell lines expressing LAG-3 mutants in its signaling domains were engineered and analyzed by quantitative highthroughput differential proteomics and phosphoproteomics. The pathways and molecules regulated by each of LAG-3 domains and their effect on the TCR signalosome both in terms of protein expression and phosphorylation activity were characterized. These results highlighted the critical role of KIEELE and EP domains to endow LAG-3 with inhibitory functions. Overall, the results will help to identify the mechanisms of intrinsic resistance to PD-1 blockade mediated by LAG-3 co-signaling, and uncover novel therapeutic targets to counteract PD- 1/LAG-3-mediated resistance.

Ilmu pengetahuan merupakan aspek yang sangat penting dalam kehidupan setiap individu, terutama bagi umat Islam. Agama Islam mewajibkan setiap Muslim untuk menuntut ilmu, baik itu yang bersifat fardhu 'ain (kewajiban pribadi) maupun fardhu kifayah (kewajiban yang cukup dilaksanakan oleh sebagian orang). Ilmu yang termasuk dalam kategori fardhu 'ain adalah ilmu yang terkait langsung dengan ibadah mahdhah, seperti ilmu tentang shalat, puasa, zakat, dan haji. Sementara itu, ilmu yang bersifat fardhu kifayah mencakup berbagai bidang pengetahuan lainnya seperti ilmu warisan, falak, matematika, dan ilmu pengetahuan alam lainnya. Kesuksesan dalam kehidupan duniawi maupun ukhrawi sangat bergantung pada pemahaman dan penguasaan ilmu. Oleh karena itu, kewajiban untuk menuntut ilmu berlaku secara mutlak bagi setiap Muslim, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali pentingnya pendidikan dan pemahaman ilmu dalam kehidupan seorang Muslim untuk meraih kesuksesan di dunia dan akhirat, serta untuk mempertegas peran ilmu dalam memperkaya pemahaman agama dan kehidupan sehari-hari.
Reviews and syntheses: Potential and limitations of oceanic carbon dioxide storage via reactor-based accelerated weathering of limestone

Abstract. To achieve climate stabilization, substantial emission reductions are needed. Emissions from industrial point sources can be reduced by applying carbon capture and storage (CCS) methods, which capture carbon dioxide (CO2) before it is released to the atmosphere. CCS applications typically target CO2 storage within geological reservoirs. Accelerated weathering of limestone (AWL) provides an alternative CCS approach, in which CO2 is stored as dissolved inorganic carbon in the ocean. At present, AWL technology remains at the pilot scale with no industrial implementation. Here, we review the proposed reactor designs for AWL, comparing them in terms of CO2 capture efficiency, CaCO3 dissolution efficiency, CO2 sequestration efficiency, and water usage. For this, we represent AWL as a four step process: (i) CO2 dissolution, (ii) CaCO3 dissolution, (iii) alkalinization (step only included in the case of buffered AWL), and lastly (iv) re-equilibration. AWL application is generally characterized by a large water usage and the need for large reactor sizes. Unbuffered AWL approaches show substantial degassing of CO2 back to the atmosphere after the process water is discharged. Buffered AWL compensates the unreacted CO2 by Ca(OH)2 addition, and hence prevents degassing, which substantially increases the CO2 sequestration efficiency. Yet, buffered AWL require a source of  CO2-neutral Ca(OH)2. The need for process water can be reduced by increasing the CO2 fraction of the gas stream or increasing its pressure. Further optimization of the pulverized carbonate particles could reduce the amount of Ca(OH)2 needed to buffer the unreacted CO2. The anticipated CO2 sequestration efficiency of buffered AWL is comparable with that projected for large-scale CCS in geological reservoirs.

Published: February 2025

Self-made tests are a common tool used by researchers to measure various constructs and outcomes in their studies. However, the lack of standardization in developing and administering these tests can lead to issues with reliability, validity, and comparability of results across studies. The process and significance of standardizing self-made tests in research are examined in this work, along with suggestions for researchers looking to guarantee the caliber and reliability of their evaluation instruments. Standardized tests use a methodical approach. Following these procedures improves the test's validity, reliability, and usefulness. An interpretable measurement is the only test that can be considered valid and reliable. The final version of the social science achievement test consisted of 36 multiple-choice questions. Item discrimination and the difficulty index were computed to analyze the items. Experts from reputable colleges were shown the drafts, and their insightful comments were used to improve the final version.

Published: February 2025

Currently, the education sector is undergoing a transformation centered around artificial intelligence, continually optimizing resource allocation, promoting educational equity, and enhancing the personalization, interactivity, and intelligence of learning, making education simpler, more enjoyable, and sustainable. To ensure that teachers can use artificial intelligence responsibly and effectively, UNESCO has released the “AI Competency Framework for Teachers” aimed at promoting lifelong professional development for educators. In this context, research on instructional design that can achieve this goal becomes particularly important. This study proposes an expanded “5P Funnel” framework based on the “3P Funnel”. The framework includes five key elements: Purpose (teaching objectives), Product (learning outcomes), Priority (teaching contents), Pare down (eliminate redundancies), and Provide (appropriate AI tools). The study employs a quasi-experimental research design to explore the potential impact of the “5P Funnel” framework on the professional development of pre-service teachers in Zhaoqing, Guangdong. In this study, 204 candidates in the “Modern Educational Technology Application” course were randomly divided into an intervention group (n=102) and a control group (n=102), with the experiment lasting one semester (15 weeks). By analyzing the differences and relationships in the dimensions of professional development abilities between the two groups, the study evaluates the experimental effects and draws conclusions. Although the study is not yet complete, the paper will focus on the research methodology and preliminary progress, laying the foundation for future contributions. Once the experimental results are obtained, they will provide new ideas and methods for teacher training and practice in the AI era.
Sobre la legislación euriciana y leovigildiana: una nueva interpretación de las palabras de San Isidoro de Sevilla
Authors: Létinier Rosine
Published: February 2025

Este trabajo tiene por objeto replantear la interpretación tradicional dada a las noticias ofrecidas por San Isidoro en referencia a la actividad legisladora de los reyes visigodos Eurico y Leovigildo. En especial modifica y precisa la traducción habitual relativa a la obra de Leovigildo y demuestra que ésta no se refiere exclusivamente a una reforma de la obra de Eurico, como se ha venido admitiendo tradicionalmente. Esta nueva perspectiva permite aclarar incógnitas y dudas dejadas hasta ahora sin respuesta segura.
Pasado y presente de un delito: el allanamiento de morada en los derechos locales peninsulares de la Edad Media
Authors: Zambrana Moral Patricia
Published: February 2025

El presente trabajo pretende determinar la existencia del delito de allanamiento de morada en el derecho medieval, partiendo de su regulación en el vigente Código Penal español de 1995 y de su conexión con el derecho fundamental a la inviolabilidad del domicilio, demostrando su origen histórico. Se trata de identificar los elementos que configuran el tipo actual y el bien jurídico protegido en las acciones penalizadas en la normativa histórica. Para ello se examina la protección del domicilio en el derechoromano, en el Liber Iudiciorum, y en una selección de fuentes medievales a través de la institución de la paz de la casa. Se presta especial atención al allanamiento de morada en las Costums de Tortosa en un intento de comparar la legislación local catalana con otros derechos locales.
El desafío nobiliario en Castilla. Aproximación a su desarrollo procesal
Authors: Oliva Manso Gonzalo
Published: February 2025

El desafío aparece en el siglo XII como un medio para canalizar la agresividad de una nobleza que usa la violencia como un recurso más en sus disputas privadas. Su procedimiento apenas esbozado en un primer momento se va completando a través de la práctica jurídica del tribunal de la corte, lo que se refleja en textos como el Fuero Viejo de Castilla. El rey gana así presencia en la resolución de los conflictos entre hidalgos lo que no pudo conseguir en su momento creativo. A mediados del siglo XIV el Ordenamientode Alcalá recoge esta herencia y la incrementa con algún nuevo precepto de modo que el desafío queda bajo el control regio. En vista de ello la nobleza deja de lado el desafío que desaparece de las fuentes y solo encuentra acomodo en espacios periféricos como las, siempre convulsas, provincias vascas que siguen un procedimiento esencialmente igual al establecido en las leyes, pero con sus pequeñas variantes propias.
