Authors: Mu’afi Muhammad Irfan , Koorag Satrio Tegar Gunung , Sagita Virginia Ayu
Published: November 2024

This study aims to determine the role of parents in providing financial education to Generation Z students at UPN Yogyakarta and how this education impacts their financial behavior. Utilizing a phenomenological research approach, the study involved in-depth interviews with ten respondents from UPN Yogyakarta. The research explores the factors that lead these students to recognize the importance of financial education imparted by their parents, along with other psychological and economic factors that underscore the necessity of financial literacy for wise money management. The findings reveal several key insights. Firstly, parents significantly shape their children's financial behaviors, with those who receive early financial education from their parents demonstrating better money management skills. Secondly, students who did not receive financial education from their parents often turn to digital platforms like YouTube and Instagram to gain financial knowledge. Thirdly, students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to seek financial literacy independently to avoid financial pitfalls. Additionally, psychological factors, such as self-awareness and resilience, play a crucial role in shaping financial behavior. Lastly, there is a notable variation in financial literacy among the respondents, influenced by their family backgrounds and the financial education they received. These results underscore the importance of parental involvement in financial education and the need for targeted strategies to enhance financial literacy among students, particularly those from less privileged backgrounds. The study highlights the potential benefits of incorporating financial education into early childhood development to foster prudent financial behaviors.
Causality Nexus of Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth in Tanzania: An Empirical Investigation
Authors: Mnaku Honest Maganya
Published: November 2024

This paper sought to examine the causality nexus of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Economics Growth in Tanzania. Specifically, the research aim to assess the impact of FDI to manufacturing, agricultural and service sectors. Moreover, the study employed time series data from 1993 to 2023. FDI inflow is always considered an important economic growth catalyst in developing economies. Neoclassical growth theories proposed that FDI enhances economic growth by augmenting capital stock and technology. According to the neoclassical models, FDI does not enhance the long-run growth rate but instead is related to the output level. Autoregressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) models was employed to determine the long-run and causal relationship between variables of interest in all three models of the study. The findings of the manufacturing output model suggest that FDI has positive and statistically significance effect to manufacturing sector in both short run and long run. In agriculture and service sector models only short run estimation was captured due to lack of co-integration pattern among variables. The findings indicated a positive and statistical significant unidirectional causality running from FDI to both agricultural and service sectors output.  Based on the findings of the study the policy implication is that Tanzania should emphasize FDI-led growth policies to enhance sustainable economic growth to realize the desired economic objectives at the macro level.

Authors: Suswanta Suswanta , Yuliantini Lisa Sophia
Published: November 2024

The issue of natural and non-natural disasters is not just security and health but also social and economic issues. Sleman is a district in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, which borders one of the most active volcanoes in the world, namely Merapi. This article aims to explain the strategy of village communities in Sleman district to build economic resilience in facing the eruption of Mount Merapi and COVID-19 by using the concepts of social capital and financial resilience. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach using Nvivo 12plus to analyze data. The results show that the economic resilience of village communities in Sleman, especially Umbulharjo Village, Kepuharjo Village, and Glagaharjo Village during the Merapi eruption and Covid-19 disaster, was built due to the existence of strong social capital, namely mutual Trust, mutual understanding, and shared values. The adaptive capacity developed by village communities in Sleman through social capital created resilience, flexibility, and stability in facing the Merapi eruption and COVID-19 disasters.
Custom UNIX Shell for Basic Terminal Operations
Authors: Aryan Karamtoth
Published: November 2024

The ghz-sh project aims to develop a custom UNIX shell that supports basic terminal operations, providing an accessible platform for learning shell programming. Unlike complex shells like Bash, ghz-sh focuses on core functionalities, making it easier to understand shell mechanics. Key features include executing basic commands, supporting built-in commands ('chdir', 'leave', 'sos', 'tell'), handling input/output redirection, and implementing basic signal handling for process control. The shell operates by parsing user commands, utilizing system calls like 'fork()' and 'exec()' for process management, and handling file descriptors for redirection. Built-in commands modify the shell's internal state, while external commands are managed as separate processes. Signal handling ensures stability, enabling graceful termination of commands with interrupts like 'Ctrl+C'. By offering essential shell functionalities in a simplified environment, ghz-sh serves as a valuable educational tool, bridging theoretical knowledge and practical application in UNIX-based systems. The project establishes a foundation for further exploration in shell programming, system automation, and command-line interface development.
Spelling Assessments With the Hamburger Schreib-Probe: Psychometric Examination Using the Example of a Secondary School in Baden-Württemberg
Authors: Busse Friederike , Goecke Benjamin , Wilhelm Oliver , Böhnisch Martin , Weiss Selina
Published: November 2024

The Hamburger Schreib-Probe (HSP) is a popular instrument in research and practice for determining spelling skills. It is characterized by the fact that, in addition to an overall score, it also provides results relating to the proficiency of spelling strategies. Using data from eleven cohorts from a secondary school in Baden-Württemberg, the psychometric quality of the instrument, in particular its characteristic strategy scores, was examined for the first time in this study using factor analytical methods. A unidimensional measurement model was established in line with the HSP's theoretical foundation. However, we did not find metric measurement invariance for the cohorts studied. We also pointed out the diagnostic value of the detailed results concerning individual spelling strategies. This showed that children with the same performance level exhibited quite heterogeneous strategy profiles. An exemplary classification of the data showed that the performance of the classes examined was consistent with the results of large-scale studies and matched the findings of the possible effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The HSP appears to be a theoretically and psychometrically sound measurement instrument with a high diagnostic information density. However, its skewed distribution should be mentioned as a psychometric weakness. We also discussed the significance of the lack of metric invariance. Studies on representative samples with relevant covariates are required to further test the HSP's suitability for widespread use in schools.
Nonsignificance Misinterpreted as an Effect’s Absence in Psychology: Prevalence and Temporal Analyses
Authors: Murphy Stephen Lee , Merz Raphael , Reimann Linda-Elisabeth , Fernández Aurelio
Published: November 2024

Nonsignificant findings in psychological research are frequently misinterpreted as reflecting the effect's absence. However, this issue's exact prevalence remains unclear, as does whether this issue is getting better or worse. In this pre-registered study we sought to answer these questions by examining the discussion sections of 599 articles published across 10 psychology journals and three timepoints (2009, 2015, 2021), and coding whether a nonsignificant finding was interpreted in such a way as to suggest the effect does not exist. Our models indicate that between 76% and 85% of psychology articles published between 2009 and 2021 that discussed a nonsignificant finding misinterpreted nonsignificance as reflecting no effect. It is likely between 54% and 62% of articles over this time period claimed explicitly that this meant no effect in the population of interest. Our findings also indicate that only between 4% and 8% of articles explicitly discussed the possibility that the nonsignificant effect may exist but could not be found. Differences in prevalence rates over time were nonsignificant. Collectively, our findings indicate this interpretative error is a major problem in psychology. We call on stakeholders with an interest in improving psychological science to priorize tackling it.
THE RACER’S GAZE: VISUAL STRATEGY IN HIGH-SPEED SPORTS EXPERTISE

Published: November 2024

Eye movements shape all visual input to the brain, making their understanding essential for studying perception and visual guidance in dynamic environments. Mobile eye tracking provides the opportunity to investigate active gaze in natural contexts. Research on expert performance indicates gaze coordination as a key feature of expertise. Sports are in many ways an ideal environment for studying how gaze strategies support skilled action: the expert can be allowed to perform the task in a natural manner, capturing authentic behavior, and still experts perform repeatably and often under extreme time constraints, allowing systematic measurement and analysis of performance.In this study, we systematically observed the visual strategy of an expert racing driver performing a domain-representative task. Synchronized gaze (eye movement and head pose), telemetry (control actions), and localization data from a high-grade simulator were combined into an integrated data set. Different ways to parametrize the data were then employed to address different sets of research questions: Where does the expert look? How are eye and head movements coordinated? How is this coordination timed with respect to locomotor actions? Where are specific gaze behaviors performed? Our purpose is to demonstrate how this kind of "cross examination" of the data - where all four classes questions are addressed simultaneously - offers a more complete picture of on rich, naturalistic eye movement behavior, thus complementing traditional experimental designs which impose predefined task constraints and conditions.
The association between dual sensory impairment and dementia: A meta-analysis and systematic review of the literature
Authors: Zumbrunn Nina Meret , Beckett Karen , Karl Johannes Alfons , Newell Fiona N. , Hopper Louise , McGovern David
Published: November 2024

In recent years, a growing body of evidence has suggested that sensory impairment represents a modifiable risk factor for dementia. While previous reviews have considered the role of hearing impairment or visual impairment separately, no systematic review to date has considered the literature exploring the association between cognitive decline and having both visual and hearing impairment. Thus, the aim of this systematic review was to synthesise the published literature on the association between dual sensory impairment (DSI) and dementia by comparing individuals with DSI to those without sensory impairment and/or those with a single sensory impairment. A total of 22 papers were included in the narrative review, and 13 were included in the meta-analysis, which aimed to statistically assess whether DSI poses an additional risk of developing dementia compared to those with no sensory impairment and relative to individuals with hearing or vision impairment alone. Overall, we found a consistent link between dementia prevalence and incidence with DSI. Specifically, our results indicate that participants with DSI are at an approximately 50% greater risk of developing dementia compared to those without sensory impairments. Moreover, DSI was found to be a potentially greater risk factor for dementia than isolated hearing and visual impairment, with the risk for dementia in the DSI group exceeding the combined risk of the individual sensory impairments. While the review highlights substantial evidence supporting DSI as a significant risk factor for dementia and cognitive decline, it also acknowledges several limitations in the existing literature, including an absence of measurement validation, failure to consider sensory aids use and onset of sensory impairment, and the potential influence of sensory difficulties on cognitive test performance. We recommend that future studies should address those concerns, while also beginning to explore the effect of interventions targeting DSI on cognition.
Don’t panic!? Need for Cognition as individual resource using the example of the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Grass Julia , Botes Elouise , Greiff Samuel , Strobel Anja
Published: November 2024

Climate crisis, war, or the COVID-19 pandemic are recent challenging situations that have confronted entire populations with high levels of uncertainty. During the pandemic, population wide increases of depression and anxiety levels were reported, and additionally, misinformation regarding COVID-19 spread rapidly further increasing uncertainty. Based on previous research we examined Need for Cognition as a potential resource during the pandemic. We analyzed data of two US-American samples (N = 2135) to investigate associations between the investment trait NFC and anxiety, depression, as well as fake news beliefs in the context of COVID-19. Our results provide evidence for negative associations of NFC with fake news beliefs. Individuals with higher NFC levels tended to report lower levels of anxiety and depression, partly explained by more adaptive emotion regulation. Our results indicate that NFC may be a valuable resource when confronted with stressors and uncertainty in times of crisis.
The Subjective Wealth Distribution: How it Arises and Why it Matters to Inform Policy?
Authors: Fessler Pirmin , Rapp Severin
Published: November 2024

We estimate the relationship between people’s biased perceptions of their rank in the wealth distribution and savings behavior. Using unique wealth survey data from Austria, we uncover a significant bias in self-assessed distributional ranks. Our estimates indicate that individuals who underestimate their wealth rank have a savings rate approximately 50% higher than those who assess their rank accurately. Preferences that feature relative wealth in the utility function can explain this relationship. Our findings inform contemporary macroeconomic models and contribute to understanding the impact of information bubbles on economic decisions.

Authors: Shah Anil , Chaulagain Raj Kumar
Published: November 2024

Gandak Hydropower station (GHPS) is located at Nawalparasi of total capacity 15 MW with adjustable blade bulb/tubular turbine with three units of each 5 MW. Huge sand concentration especially during monsoon and over 40 years of operation, turbine components at GHPS are severely eroded. This study aimed to detect the erosion prone section of Kaplan runner blade by CFD analysis using ANSYS Fluent and comparing qualitatively with eroded runner blade of GHPS. Sand analysis as per site conditions was performed in lab for mineral content, particle size distribution and sediment concentration. It can be concluded from the results of CFD simulations, mostly upper portion of blade region is affected by sediment erosion. In upper portion, trailing edges are more densely affected than leading edges. Erosion rate density increases with increase in sediment particle size and sediment concentration. Comparing qualitatively of eroded Kaplan runner blade at GHPS and CFD simulation results, erosion most affected zone of Kaplan runner blade is found to be similar. To increase life of runner blade from effects of sand erosion, upper portion of blade surface should be frequently observed and protected by suitable coatings.

Published: November 2024

Being motivated is fundamental for any individual to achieve personal and professional success. In the context of learning in Higher Education, Motivation is crucial for achieving this success. Understanding the motivational state of students is essential for higher education managers and teachers. Understanding students’ Amotivation, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation can provide vital information to initiate changes in teaching and learning. In this sense, measuring Amotivation, Intrinsic Motivation, and Extrinsic Motivation allows for understanding the general state of students’ Motivation. This study aims to analyze the Motivation of 145 Portuguese Higher Education Students (70 Male and 75 Female) aged between 17 and 47 years old who studied the second/foreign language (English) in Portugal during the Academic Year of 2020/2021. We used the Academic Motivation Scale to measure Motivation to study English. The results show that students are not demotivated. The Motivation that prevails in the results is Intrinsic Motivation, and Extrinsic Motivation was insignificant. This study’s results contribute to the literature on Motivation to study Second Language, especially concerning the need to understand why students are only intrinsically motivated. Are the lessons, the teaching methodologies, the techniques and the contents not able to motivate them?
Flexibility and Playful Learning as Strategies for a Transformative Pedagogy in Higher Education
Authors: Valdivia-Vizarreta Paloma , Castilla Johana Evelyn Montalvan
Published: November 2024

This essay explores how flexibility and playful learning address the current challenges in higher education, aligned with the principles of transformative pedagogy. This pedagogical approach views the university as an inclusive and adaptable space, where teaching aligns with students’ realities and needs, promoting accessibility, engagement, and holistic development. Flexibility enables students to manage their learning in a personalised manner, adapting to their individual paces, schedules, and environments (whether in-person or virtual), fostering autonomy and a better balance between personal and academic responsibilities. Playful learning, in turn, introduces methodologies that, through curiosity and enjoyment, enhance creativity, intrinsic motivation, and critical thinking. These approaches not only make the learning process relevant and enriching for students but also provide a more satisfying and motivating teaching experience for educators. The intersection of flexibility, playful learning, and social justice offers a framework for transformative pedagogy that advances equity and nurtures critical citizenship. The essay includes practical examples of these methodologies in action, as well as a review of the weaknesses and challenges faced in their implementation within academic settings. Ultimately, it proposes a model of higher education that not only imparts knowledge but also equips both students and educators to become active, resilient agents in a dynamic global context.
Analysis of Land Value Changes and Its Correlation with the Existence of Tourism and Accessibility in 2017-2024
Authors: Putri Ananda Sandriana , Amarrohman Fauzi Janu , Yusuf Muhammad Adnan
Published: November 2024

Abstract: Getasan District, located in Semarang Regency, is renowned for its natural beauty, particularly with the presence of Mount Merbabu and a rapidly growing number of nature-based tourist attractions. Kopeng Tourism, a legacy from the Dutch colonial era, serves as the main attraction with its scenic views at the foot of Mount Merbabu. Additionally, the emergence of new tourist spots such as Hutan Pinus Kayon, Gedong Pass, Umbul Songo Natural Tourism, Agrotourism Kopeng "Gunung Sari," Merbabu Park, and Boemisora reflects the rapid development of tourism in this region. This rapid growth in tourism has had a direct impact on the local economy and the potential for changes in land value. This study aims to analyze the influence of tourist attractions and accessibility on land value changes in Getasan District from 2017 to 2024, amidst the significant growth of tourism. The research employed a descriptive and quantitative approach to analyze the data comprehensively. Quantitative analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression to evaluate the influence of proximity to tourist attractions and road accessibility on land value. The land value zone maps for 2017 and 2021 were obtained from the Semarang Regency Land Office, while the 2024 land value zone was created through the update of the 2021 zone. This update resulted in 130 zones with 688 sample points collected through field surveys based on fair market prices. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the influence of straight-line distance from the zone centroid to tourist attractions and collector roads. The results showed that the p-value in the simultaneous test was 0.03647 (? 0.05), indicating that tourist attractions and accessibility have a simultaneous and significant influence on land value zone changes, with an impact size of 7.87%. These findings highlight the urgency of considering the rapidly developing tourism sector and accessibility in regional management and development, given their effect on land values in Getasan.

TRANSLATION STRATEGIES IN REPRODUCING THE EXPRESSIVE MEANS OF PUBLIC POLITICAL SPEECH: PECULIARITIES AND TECHNIQUES
Authors: Vasylenko Oksana M. , Khyzhun Yaroslava V.
Published: November 2024

The paper considers the peculiarities of the application of translation strategies in reproducing the expressive potential of modern samples of the political speech genre in their specific national and linguistic variants. Political speech, which aims at embodying a certain ideological influence, will be effective if it combines rational and emotional elements. Speeches by politicians are usually expressive. Expressive political speech produces the most intended effect on the audience, its purpose is to increase the influence of what is said by the speaker and the presence of expressive function in political speeches is almost mandatory. When translating speeches of well-known politicians, the translator is interested in a certain choice of language means because the taget text should influence the foreign audience in the same way as the original own. Metaphorical utterances and phraseological units are important elements of a political speech that cause difficulties in translation. In order to transfer the expressive function in the translation of metaphors, the translator resorts to a number of stylistic modifications, transformations in which instead of the units belonging to one stylistic register, the units belonging to another one are used. Expressiveness in the speeches of the English-speaking politicians is also achieved through the use of not only metaphor but also metonymy, antithesis, epithet, hyperbole, litotes and lexical repetition. Among the types of lexical repetition anadiplosis, anaphora, epiphora and symploce are considered in the paper. When choosing a translation strategy, it is necessary to take into account the linguistic and cultural features of American rhetoric, the reaction of recipients, as well as the political situation in the country.
THE MEANING OF SILENCE IN THE WORK OF HERTA MÜLLER
Authors: Shopin Pavlo Yu.
Published: November 2024

Herta Müller writes about suffering caused by social oppression, often depicting the dictatorial regime of Nicolae Ceaușescu. Her literary works are marked by her first-person narrative perspective and a principled confrontation with totalitarianism and illiberalism. She is deeply interested in language and regularly uses metaphors to illuminate its functioning in the conditions of suffering and subjugation. This paper will focus on metaphors for silence and categorise them into those sensory modalities and concrete phenomena (vision, touch, smell, eating, speaking, somatic experience, force, space, motion, container, physical objects, manipulation, destruction, life, and death) that serve as source domains. Despite its limitations, this categorisation will help understand the motivation behind the associations between the target domain of silence and its vehicles. Müller highlights the figurative nature of the relationship between silence and more concrete concepts, establishing connections between it and those ideas that commonly relate to bodily experience. This paper will reveal that silence does not exist as a well-defined concept and acquires new meanings depending on the context and the metaphorical images that are used to explain it. Drawing on conceptual metaphor theory within the framework of cognitive literary studies, the author suggests that the meaning of silence is not random and relies on conceptual and linguistic conventions; Müller estranges these conventions, and thus foregrounds the figurative yet motivated meaning of silence.
TEXTOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE TEXT STRUCTURE STUDYING IN TRANSLATION THEORY
Authors: Koloda Svitlana O.
Published: November 2024

The article presents a theoretical analysis of traditional and new approaches for studying the text from the standpoint of linguistic theory. The author considers the linguistic theory of translation in communicative and textological aspects. Text linguistics, as a part of linguistics, does not still have a clearly defined subject of study as it has become divided into narrower areas: text grammar, text syntax, text theory, speech communication theory. Despite this fact it allows to study and characterize the text in terms of content and structure. When analyzing the text, different approaches are used. However, if we consider texts created in different languages as a product of translation activities, the most perspective approach is the approach to the text analysis as a phenomenological fact. At the same time, the author offers to examine the original text as the source language and speech material for creating a target text, i.e. it is necessary to begin the analysis of the source text not with individual elements (words, phrases, super-phrasal units), but with the whole text. Thus, the target text should take into account some general characteristics of the discourse. Understanding of the text is also based on the awareness of its integrity. In addition to integrity, an important aspect of the text in its analysis is subtext, presupposition, cohesion and completeness. These main features of the text (cohesion, integrity and completeness) are the main text characteristics that should be included not only in the analysis of the source text when creating a new target text. Furthermore, they are the most important ones for the implementation of intercultural communication in the form of translation. The author concludes that the characteristics of the text integrity are mainly a basis for its understanding as a semantic unity. It is integrity that mostly influences the creating of a target text, which is equivalent to the source one.

Published: November 2024

Objective: Hamstring tightness is a common problem that can affect the quadriceps angle, flexibility of knee extension, and balance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the immediate effects of passive static hamstring stretching on the quadriceps angle, knee joint range of motion (ROM), and static and dynamic balance in people with hamstring tightness.Material and Methods: A total of 52 male participants were randomly divided into two groups: a stretching group and a control group. All participants underwent a physical therapy examination before the experiment (Pre-test), including an Active Knee Extension Test, quadriceps angle (Q angle) measurement, and static balance and dynamic balance assessments. After that, the stretching group received passive static hamstring muscle stretching, while the control group received knowledge about the tightness of the hamstring muscle. After the experiment, all participants underwent a physical therapy examination using the same testing method.Results: The study found that passive static hamstring muscle stretching increased the knee extension ROM by 5.54±3.78 degrees (p-value<0.01) and decreased the Q angle by -1.85±1.46 degrees (p-value<0.01) compared to the control group. However, there were no significant differences between the groups for the balance outcomes.Conclusion: This study found that passive static hamstring muscle stretching improved knee extension and decreased the Q angle. These findings can confirm the positive effects of exercise for increasing flexibility among individuals with tight hamstrings and abnormal Q angle.

Published: November 2024

Objective: To examine the feeding practices among the mothers of 6-12-month-old infants using Infant and Child Feeding Index (ICFI) scores and to determine which components in the ICFI were associated with anemic infants.Material and Methods: One hundred nineteen healthy term infants aged 6-12 months were recruited from November 2020 to December 2021. Infant feeding practices of the mothers were assessed using a 24-hour food record to collect which foods the infants consumed before the scheduled visit, and food group frequencies during the previous week. The food intakes of the infant were categorized into seven food groups and ICFI scores were calculated. Each infant had their weight and length measured, and a complete blood count was performed to assess anemia.Results: The number of food groups was significantly higher in the 9-12-month-old infants than in the 6-9-month-old infants (5 vs 4, respectively, p-value<0.01) and also the ICFI scores (6 vs. 5, respectively, p-value<0.01). Anemia was found in 35 infants (29.4%) and was significantly higher in infants who were mainly breastfed, who were given complementary meals with dietary diversity <4 food groups, and who had an ICFI score <5. However, multivariate logistic regression found that the only significant factors associated with anemia were mainly breastfed (adjusted odds ratio 3.15, p-value<0.001) and dietary diversity <4 food groups (adjusted odds ratio 3.94, p-value=0.01).Conclusion: Infants older than 6 months should be mainly breastfed with 3-4 complementary meals with at least 4 food groups daily to prevent anemia from iron deficiency.

The construction of glory and immortality in leaders of sport organizations: The case of Real Madrid President, Florentino Pérez
Authors: García Muñoz Cesar , Carrero Márquez Oliver
Published: November 2024

Introduction: While most soccer mandataries feel comfortable with developing a strong reputation, Florentino Pérez, following the steps of another mythical Real Madrid President, Santiago Bernabeu, seems to have that thirst for glory, a sort of immortality only reserved to a few selected players in the world of soccer. Methodology: This conceptual paper collects and reviews existing scholarship on the idea of glory and connects it to the world of corporate reputation and sports. Sixty-five academic references have been attributed, coming from books, journal articles, and newspapers. The authors also had in-depth interviews with employees at Real Madrid and one of Pérez’s biographers. Results: The idea of glory and immortality in leaders of old has been replaced by other terms, lime reputation, fame, and celebrity. Nonetheless, the world of sports – where epics and a sense of victory are explicit – offers these leaders the possibility of achieving a sense of glory. Discussions: The case of Florentino Pérez offers reason for reflection in this regard and is the proof that the sense of glory has not been lost, at least in the sports world. Conclusions: Sport leaders, such as Florentino Pérez, have built glory thanks to deeds, good press and architecture.

Проаналізовано перспективні напрями удосконалення техніко-криміналістичних засобів у практичну діяльність правоохоронних органів. А також фактори, пов’язані з цим. Досліджено етапи розвитку криміналістики, періоди її становлення та визнання, науково-практичні завдання на різних її етапах; визначення основної термінології теми; положення, що виникають у зв’язку з її розвитком, з удосконаленням її пізнавальних можливостей, методів і засобів вирішення практичних завдань, тобто відносин, характерних для процесу інтеграції досягнень інших наук у криміналістику тощо. Зазначено, що використання науки і техніки в розкритті та розслідуванні злочинів – проблема, яка була і лишається однією із ключових. Ця проблема помітно актуалізувалась в умовах науково-технічного прогресу під час воєнного часу, досягненнями якого рівною мірою користуються люди, які прагнуть до шляхетних, суспільно значущих цілей, та такі, що ставлять на меті злочинні інтереси.
Narrative Structures and Cultural Intersections: Exploring Malind Anim Folklore through Reader Responses
Authors: Anggawirya Arin Mantara , Floriani Rosalia
Published: November 2024

This study is a literary research that used a reader-response approach, which can open insights into the reader's view of a literary work, to find the results of literary receptions in the Folklore of Malind Anim, an indigenous community that inhabits the southern Papua region. The study of the people's stories of the Malind-Anim community is still minimal, so this research is expected to trigger community’s enthusiasm to know the culture that is reflected in the People's Stories of the Society of Malind-Anim and also to be the material of policy-determining consideration in the efforts to preserve the stories of the people of the Anim. Questionnaires are given to 20 readers before reading Malind Anim's People's Stories, containing items that measure the level of readers, then they were invited for a semi-structured interview after reading to see the readers' response to the values in the people's stories of the Malind-Anim community. The research was divided into two phases. First, a structural approach to the work of People's Stories of Malind Anim society, where the researchers used heuristic and hermeneutic methods to find structure and literary elements. In the second phase, to investigate the implications of the work on the reader, the reader response approach was used to extract literary values from the reader's point of view. Results show readers at the developing level can only interpret values in general, such as religion, education, and the environment, and readers at the developed level can interpret that the folklore of the Malind Anim community has three main dimensions that readers can interpret at these levels: Environmental Protector, Gender Equality, and Mitigation.

College students are required to complete an undergraduate thesis as part of their final project. However, when addressing the issues students face with their limited vocabulary, their choice of proper grammar, and their syntactical or word class problems, etc., researchers seldom carried out a focused exploration on dominant sentence types. This study aims to identify the most dominant sentence type used by the students in their writing, determine the forms of sentences used within the dominant sentence type, and analyse the factors influencing students' writing. This research used a quantitative descriptive method with an innovative methodological approach, namely a fishbone diagram to analyse the underlying factors. 105 background proposals from 7th semester students in the English Department at Tadulako University participated in this study. A simple random sampling technique was employed, and questionnaires and document analysis were used as instruments to gather data. The data analysis results show that: (1) simple sentences made up the majority of the dominant sentence types used in students’ backgrounds; (2) nominal sentences were the second most common form of dominant sentences used by the students; and (3) there are three factors that impact students' writing, particularly regarding sentence types: internal and external factors. The implication of this research is the development of writing skills where sentence types are an essential part of writing. The results can aid students in crafting clear and coherent sentences, specifically how to structure sentences effectively to convey their ideas logically, avoiding run-on sentences or fragments that can obscure meaning.
MHD modeling of the molecular filament evolution

We perform numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the gravitational collapse and fragmentation of a cylindrical molecular cloud with the help of the FLASH code. The cloud collapses rapidly along it’s radius without any signs of fragmentation in the simulations without magnetic field. The radial collapse of the cloud is stopped by the magnetic pressure gradient in the simulations with parallel magnetic field. Cores with high density form at the cloud’s edges during further evolution. The core densities are n ≈ 1.7×108 and 2×10-7 cm–3 in the cases with initial magnetic field strengths B = 1.9×10-4 and 6×10-4 G, respectively. The cores move toward the cloud’s centre with supersonic speeds |vz| = 3.6 and 5.3 km/s. The sizes of the cores along the cloud’s radius and cloud’s main axis are dr = 0.0075 pc and dz = 0.025 pc, dr = 0.03 pc and dz = 0.025 pc, respectively. The masses of the cores increase during the filament evolution and lie in range of ≈(10-20)Me. According to our results, the cores observed at the edges of molecular filaments can be a result of the filament evolution with parallel magnetic field.
