La jefatura femenina se ha incrementado en los últimos años por motivos económicos, sociales y psicológicos. Los propósitos del presente estudio fueron identificar a las mujeres en términos del tipo de jefatura que ejercían en la familia (total, compartida o nula) y diferenciarlas respecto de la presencia de rasgos instrumentales y expresivos. Participaron 305 mujeres de 15 a 75 años de edad, quienes respondieron el Cuestionario de Jefatura de Hogar y el Inventario de Instrumentalidad y Expresividad-rasgos positivos. El 26.9% de las entrevistadas desempeñaba una jefatura total (se asumían como jefas, aportaban al gasto familiar y tomaban decisiones). Las jefas totales resultaron de mayor edad, eran mayoritariamente divorciadas o viudas y tenían un trabajo remunerado. Obtuvieron puntajes significativamente más altos en el rasgo instrumental de capacidad y en el expresivo de lealtad. Se concluyó que la jefatura femenina, más que implicar vulnerabilidad para la familia, está asociada con fortalezas psicológicas en las mujeres que la ejercen.
Development Male Students’ Skills in Solving HOTS Problem in Terms of Self Confidence
Authors: Aini Afifah Nur , Andreansyah Mohamad
Published: October 2023

Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) type math problems are one way to develop students' higher order thinking skills. One aspect that affects problem solving ability is self confidence. Therefore, this study will describe the development of students' problem solving skills in terms of self confidence. This research is descriptive qualitative type with six male students as the subjects. At the initial stage, a questionnaire was given to determine the level of students' self-confidence. Then two subjects at each level were selected to take the problem solving ability test. As a triangulation, semi-structured interviews were conducted. The test and interview results were analyzed using the Miles and Hubberman model by adjusting to the problem solving steps, namely: understanding the problem, determining the solution plan, implementing the solution plan, and checking back. The results showed that subjects with high self confidence were able to develop problem solving skills, subjects with moderate self confidence only fulfilled the steps of understanding the problem and developing a solution plan, while subjects with low self confidence were only able to understand the problem. Thus, students with self confidence are better at developing problem solving skills, so it is important for educators to help students develop their self confidence through appropriate teaching methods, such as providing constructive feedback and providing opportunities for students to actively participate in the teaching and learning process.

Authors: Tolnai Béla
Published: October 2023

Biological filtration is a complex process consisting of two consecutive stages. The nutrient transport stage, which is influenced by various fluid mechanical and surface-physical factors, represents a precondition for the biochemical process taking place within the biofilm. Biological water filtration is based on the catalyzed decomposition of contaminant molecules with the help of enzymes. This article, in addition to describing the conditions and mode of action typical within this second stage, also aims to explore the practical implications of the established results, including the controllability of biological reactors.

Authors: Lutfan Lutfan , Siregar Eveline , Kustandi Cecep
Published: October 2023

This research aims to design instruction for ecosystem thematic learning with a scientific approach in fifth-grade primary school. This research used the development model of Lee and Owen (2004), consisting of the assessment, analysis, and design stages. Subjects in this research were fifth-grade primary school at SDN Pisangan Timur 11. The data was collected using observations and interviews, which showed that the learning outcomes of some students still had scores below the passing grade. In addition, the thematic ecosystem learning was not optimal; the learning media used had not helped students to understand ecosystem knowledge more deeply because it only used video support and PowerPoint from the teacher, and the learning strategies or methods used are boring too. This research concludes that learning design is possible to increase the grade of student learning outcomes. Second, the scientific approach model has the characteristics of "doing science". This approach can make it easier to improve the learning process.
Why is Math Difficult? : Beliefs That Affecting Students' Mathematics Skills
Authors: Purbaningrum Mayang , Ramadhan Sahrul , Thauzahra Raudya
Published: October 2023

This research aims to describe the factors that influence students' beliefs that mathematics is difficult and how to change students' beliefs that mathematics is not difficult. This research method used a Systematic Literature Review with a qualitative approach. This data was obtained from the thematic analysis of several books and articles discussing 'intelligence", "mathematics," and "mindset" those researchers obtained from Google Scholar. The research results showed that parents, teachers, and peers influence students who think intelligence did not change and could be changed. Apart from that, with a fixed mindset, someone might think that mathematics was difficult because the task given was difficult, assume that if the achievement was low, then mathematics was also low, lack motivation after experiencing failure, and mathematics could not be completed if done for a long period. Parents had the biggest influence on students' mindsets. Genes and socioeconomic background were not the reason. Parental parenting patterns that prioritized performance over process influenced students' thinking patterns. Another biggest influence was the teacher. Like parents, teachers who assess based on performance rather than process would make students lose self-confidence when they fail. Teachers who supported their students to surrender to their situation also made students unmotivated to study mathematics more deeply. Collaboration between teachers, parents, and peers is needed to change a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. Constructive feedback is needed so students are always oriented towards a process without results.

Authors: Pinchuk O.P. , Prokopenko A.A.
Published: October 2023

Pedagogical modeling of modern educational environments remains an urgent task of educational sciences. Research on the formation and development of digital competence of specialists, although they have common features, differ and acquire characteristic features depending on the field of application. This is due to the focus on mastering specific professional skills and increasing the professional level. We found out that, compared to the social and humanitarian sphere and medicine, the development of digital competence of specialists in the military and defense industry is little discussed in scientific sources. The development of digital competence of military personnel, in particular military management officers, is an urgent problem that requires an immediate solution. On the one hand, the armed aggression of the Russian Federation adds to the criticality of the situation, on the other hand, scientific and technical progress and, as a result, the appearance of new types of weapons and the complexity of digital tools in the environments of military specialists. Scientific approaches and conceptual principles regarding the formation of digital competence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and NATO member countries are described. Problems, contradictions and trends in the development of digital education of military specialists in the system of professional development are singled out. The article clarifies the concept of “digital competence of military command officers” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The authors developed and substantiated a theoretical model of a computer-oriented methodical system for the development of digital competence of officers of the military administration of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the system of professional development, which is presented in an informative scheme with a description of individual modules combined into conceptual, target, content-methodical, procedural, technological and effective blocks. The built model ensures systematicity and consistency of the educational process in the digital educational environment of higher military education institutions for the development of digital competencies of military management officers. The technological unit contains a variety of software for training and training. In particular, specialized computer programs and multimedia guides. In the content-methodical block, among other things, the following modules are presented: cloud services; information-didactic and educational-methodical learning tools, multimedia objects, VR/AR tools, AI elements that allow selection of existing ones or creation of new learning materials; Training Course; diagnostic tools, etc. The prospect is the verification of the developed model during distance training.

Published: October 2023

Purpose: We investigated the clinical features and risk factors associated with the onset of uveitis in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.Methods: A survey was conducted targeting patients with ankylosing spondylitis who have experienced uveitis. The questionnaire collected information on demographic characteristics, clinical features, and lifestyle-related risk factors for uveitis including stress, sleep quality, rest periods, eating habits, and intake of caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco. Respondents were asked to recall their condition at the time of their most recent uveitis flare-up and rate it on a 5-point scale (1 = good to 5 = bad).Results: The study included 47 patients with ankylosing spondylitis; the average age was 40.0 years, 68.1% were male, and 89.4% tested positive for human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27. The average treatment duration for uveitis was 5.2 weeks, with an average recurrence rate of 4.5 times. The most common symptom at the time of uveitis was eye redness (87.2%). The average scores for the surveyed risk factors were as follows: stress, 4.1 points; sleep, 3.1 points; rest, 3.4 points; eating habits, 2.9 points; caffeine intake, 3.3 points; alcohol intake, 2.4 points; and smoking, 2.5 points. No significant correlation was found between age, uveitis treatment duration, number of recurrences, and any of the surveyed scores.Conclusions: Patients with ankylosing spondylitis appeared to experience higher levels of stress during episodes of uveitis; however, further investigation is needed.

Authors: Sim Ha Eun , You Su Jeong , Choi Jin
Published: October 2023

Purpose: We investigated disparities in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness surrounding the optic disc among pediatric migraine patients based on the presence of a concomitant visual aura.Methods: We used optical coherence tomography to measure RNFL thickness around the optic disc in children with migraines and no organic diseases, along with a control group of healthy children. Differences in RNFL thickness were analyzed based on the pattern of prognostic symptoms. Additionally, we investigated the effects of migraine duration and frequency on RNFL thickness.Results: In total, 45 children with migraine and 30 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Among the children with migraine, 15 experienced visual aura, whereas 30 did not exhibit visual aura. Visual prognostic symptoms included blurred vision, scotoma, and scintillating scotoma. Seven children presented with blurred vision and scotoma, whereas eight reported scintillating scotomas. The mean RNFL thickness around the optic disc was significantly lower in patients with blurred vision and scotomas (89.19 ± 7.99 μm) compared with the control group (98.79 ± 8.49 μm), patients without visual aura (100.55 ± 6.43 μm), and patients with scintillating scotoma (102.21 ± 10.13 μm, p < 0.05).Conclusions: RNFL thickness around the optic disc was significantly reduced in children with migraine who reported symptoms of blurred vision and scotoma.

Published: October 2023

Purpose: To report a case of macular hole closure using an internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap following implantation of a posterior chamber phakic implantable contact lens (ICL).Case summary: An 18-year-old female patient presented with visual loss of the left eye after ICL implantation. She had high myopia of -12.5 diopter (spherical equivalent) and a corrected visual acuity of 2/100. The fundus photograph and optical coherence tomography showed a full-thickness macular hole measuring 688 µm in width and 976 µm in length. The ILM around the hole was detached from the retinal surface, which was greater in size than the macular hole. The initial surgical intervention involved vitrectomy, inverted ILM flap placement, and gas tamponade. The decrease in gas volume was associated with a loss of the ILM flap. For hole closure, the remaining ILM flap in the peripheral macula was harvested and inserted in the hole during the second surgery. The silicone oil was used for tamponade. One month after ILM insertion, complete closure of the hole was observed. The visual acuity improved to 20/40 after silicone oil removal.Conclusions: A large full-thickness macular hole developed after ICL implantation in a patient with high myopia. Macular hole surgery using ILM insertion and prolonged tamponade closed the hole and effectively improved the visual acuity.

Published: October 2023

The primary objective of this research is to assess the level of team cohesiveness and role ambiguity among students who participate in university team sports, and examine them based on pre-determined variables. The selection of participants was conducted through a convenient sampling approach. The study employed the cross-sectional scanning method and comprised a sample of 238 participants, consisting of 88 females (37%) and 150 males (63%), who are engaged in team sports at Gümüşhane University during the 2022-2023 academic year. A Personal Information Form, Team Cohesion Scale and Role Ambiguity Scale were utilised to gather data in this study. Data was then analysed using T-tests, ANAVO and correlation tests. Analysis results indicate that university students who participate in team sports demonstrate above average team unity, whilst exhibiting below average role ambiguity. Men were found to have better scores in the team unity and group attractiveness task dimensions, based on gender. In contrast, students studying in departments other than physical education and sports schools reported higher role ambiguity. It has been noted that university students who have played on the same sports team for 1-5 years encounter greater role ambiguity compared to those who have had longer experience. Playing different sports and the number of years spent playing sports did not impact participants' team unity or role ambiguity. An additional noteworthy finding is the negative significant connection between role ambiguity and team commitment.

Published: October 2023

This study aims to estimate the economic value of tutelary forest of Seongnam-ri in Wonju, Gangwon-do, using the Continental Valuation Method (CVM), which is widely used to estimate the use value and non-use value of natural resources. For empirical analysis, an on-site survey (n=304) was conducted on visitors to Seonghwanglim and local residents in Wonju from May 23 to June 2, 2023. The results of the logit model confirmed the statistical significance of payment amount, household income, sustainable intelligence, and conservation consciousness. Sustainable intelligence was an important variable influencing willingness to pay (WTP). Also, on the basis of truncated mean, the WTP was estimated to be KRW 56,569 per household. Considering the total number of households in Wonju, the preservation value was estimated at about KRW 9.3 billion won. Evaluating the conservation value classified three categories of tutelary forest of Seongnam-ri and found that the respondents rated it in the order of heritage value(51%), selection value(25%), and existence value(24%). It can be seen that the most important value of tutelary forest of Seongnam-ri is its value as a legacy to be passed on to future generations.

Nevertheless, there are concerns over harmful consequences like what happened during the 1st to 3rd industrial revolutions. Among them, humans may experience worsening problems, such as technology addiction, identity confusion, human alienation, loss of humanity, anharmonic human behavior, and inequalities. Thus, this study suggested a classic music-based therapy for treating those problems.
A Study on “Yi-Gi-Ji-Myo”(理氣之妙) Aimed at Broadening the Aesthetic Scope of Dance
Authors:   The Korean Society of Culture and Convergence, Lee Jiseol , Lee Donjun
Published: October 2023

The aim of this study is to explore the belief that incorporating physical education in a comprehensive manner can offer students a positive socialization experience. It also seeks to analyze dance within the context of Yulgok's Yi-Gi-Ji-Myo (理氣之妙) to demonstrate that dance embodies not only emotional beauty but also the aesthetic of sexual virtue. In this context, drawing inspiration from Yulgok's perspective on learning, this study asserts that an academic discipline that reconciles ideals with reality has the potential to bring about transformative change in the world. It employs the example of integrated sports to illustrate how education can be united with benevolent intentions to create a sense of beauty. This approach aligns with Yulgok's viewpoint. Furthermore, this study delves into the practical application of these concepts. It examines the moral aesthetics of dance, an expressive activity within the realm of physical education, based on the principles of rituals and music. Consequently, it is revealed that the beauty of togetherness can be actualized when human consciousness is grounded in rationality during the process of harnessing energy and gaining popularity.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Culture and Convergence, Lee Yuju
Published: October 2023

This study aims to analyze the artistic value and characteristics inherent in Eunho Kim's initial sketches, seeking to re-evaluate these sketches which have traditionally been regarded merely as preliminary stages in the creation of completed works. The research proposes that initial sketches are not just steps in the production process but possess intrinsic artistic qualities and philosophical dimensions, making them independent works of art in their own right. Using qualitative analysis, the study focuses on Kim's initial sketches and his finalized works to elucidate the essential differences and interactions between these two forms of art. The findings suggest that Kim's initial sketches transcend their traditional role as precursors to finished pieces, offering valuable insights into the artist's creative process and enabling a deeper understanding of his original artistic vision, thereby establishing their worth as independent artworks.
