Cyberangriffe blockierende programmierbare Automatisierungssysteme
Authors: Halang Wolfgang A.
Published: June 2023

Fast täglich wird über Hackerangriffe und Datenspionage berichtet – Phänomene, die auch die funktionale Sicherheit rechnergestützter Automatisierungssysteme gefährden. Darüber würden die Erfinder der Digitalrechner, Charles Babbage und Konrad Zuse, nur gelacht haben; denn es war unmöglich, ihre Maschinen von außerhalb zu beeinflussen, und zwar auch dann, wenn sie über Telekommunikationseinrichtungen verfügt hätten. Auch heute könnte mit marktüblicher Technologie das Auftreten aller Sicherheitsprobleme der digitalen Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik in einfacher Weise konstruktiv verhindert werden, d.h. Rechner lassen sich bauen, an denen alle denkbaren Hackerangriffe konstruktionsbedingt abprallen. Weiterhin wird an eine vor über 100 Jahren patentierte Datenverschlüsselungsmethode erinnert, deren Wirkprinzip systematisches Entschlüsseln und Überflutungsangriffe unmöglich macht.
Lang lebe der König! Aber auch der optative Konjunktiv?!
Authors: Scholübbers Laura
Published: June 2023

The now archaic optative subjunctive was common in earlier forms of the German language. This paper examines two questions: Why is the optative subjunctive rarely used today? Which linguistic constructions are presently used in the contexts and functions that originally accompanied the optative subjunctive? The paper goes beyond previous studies on this subjunctive and its substitutes by explaining closely how its context, function and syntax in historical instances may have an impact on the constructions that have replaced it. Furthermore, this paper argues that pragmatic change, economy, analogy and especially expressiveness can explain such displacement by specific constructions.
„We Are Made of Star-Stuff“
Authors: Gregor Joris A. , Rosa Hartmut
Published: June 2023

Connectedness is a significant element of sociality that occurs not only ideally and ‘leiblich’, but also consists of a material dimension. This is established through the materiality of the human body and points beyond it at the same time. The material aspect of connectedness is not simply social but has a social meaning nonetheless: Materiality has an impact on society and on the quality of human coexistence with the environment. To be able to describe this aspect, we use approaches of feminist (neo-)materialisms. First, a neo-materialist perspective on subjectivity is developed, which, in addition to the immaterial aspects of the social, is also able to grasp the dependence of the development of human bodies on their environment. Connectedness as a material-discursive phenomenon adds a neo-materialist dimension to the established ‘phenomenological’ interpretation of the resonance concept that integrates interactions of repulsion or alienation by understanding feelings of alienation, rejection, or the silencing of the world-relationship as well as a resonant world-relationship always also as agentic cuts of the LeibKörper.
Stressors and learned resourcefulness in baccalaureate nursing students: a longitudinal study
Authors: Goff Anne-Marie
Published: June 2023

Objective

This correlational longitudinal study examined levels and relationships of Learned Resourcefulness (LR), stressors, and academic performance in baccalaureate nursing students at a North Carolina university.

Method

Gadzella‘s Student-life Stress Inventory (SSI) and Rosenbaum’s Self-Control Scale (SCS) administered to 85 students in two groups upon admission and graduation.

Results

LR increased, while stress decreased significantly in both groups (p < 0.05). Both groups (95.3% female, 85.8% Caucasian) reported similarly high frustration, pressure, and emotional reactions to stress. Significant relationship between taking tests and stress (p < 0.01). Stressors (p < 0.05) and age (p < 0.01) significant predictors of academic performance. Significant correlations of LR and work status (p < 0.01), and increased self-esteem (p < 0.05). No significant relationships among LR, stressors, and academic performance.

Conclusion

Results validate high levels of stress and suggest that higher LR enhances coping skills and decreases stress longitudinally, which can improve academic performance and retention.

Implications for International Audience

Trends and relationships in stressors and LR should be explored internationally in larger, more diverse samples of college students in nursing and other majors in relation to depression, anxiety, health-related behaviors, demographics, and academic performance. LR can be assessed, taught, learned, and enhanced. Greater numbers of qualified, competent nursing graduates with stronger clinical judgment, coping, and problem-solving skills will address the critical global nursing shortage and improve the quality, safety, and access of health care worldwide.
Kant’s “in itself”: Toward a New Adverbial Reading
Authors: Wolf W. Clark
Published: June 2023

It is commonly assumed that the expression “an sich selbst” (“in itself”) in Kant combines with terms to form complex nouns such as “thing in itself” and “end in itself.” I argue that the basic use of “an sich selbst” in Kant’s German is as a sentence adverb, which has the role of modifying subject-predicate combinations, rather than either subject or predicate on their own. Expressions of the form “S is P an sich selbst” mean roughly that S is P ‘in its own right’ or without some further ‘condition’. Accordingly, “an sich selbst” should not be treated as forming complex nouns. This analysis has significant consequences for the interpretation of “thing in itself” in particular, for it implies that the latter is not a complete nominal expression. Instead, one must treat ‘an sich selbst’ as expressing how some S is a ‘thing’, looking to the wider sentential context. I conclude with a brief account of the new significance granted to the concept of a ‘thing’ (Ding) according to the present interpretation.

The Metaphysical Contention of Political Theology
Authors: Carneiro Luís
Published: June 2023

The question of the exact role of theology in Schmitt’s political theology remains undecided. Several authors have raised this question and distinct answers have been given. In order to reach an accurate representation of the political–theological dimension in Schmitt’s work, I will attempt an interpretation which takes into account not only Schmitt’s more widely known theses, but also the perceived esoteric and unsaid aspects of his work. Against Heinrich Meier’s prominent thesis, in his The Lesson of Carl Schmitt, of the strict theological nature of political theology, my thesis is that Schmitt gives precedence to the political over theology and that political theology is a theology and metaphysics of the political. Starting from Peterson’s theological objections, centered on Trinitarian dogma and eschatology, I will reconstruct the trail of political theology throughout Schmitt’s work in view of its epitome in the notion of a Trinitarian stasiology and in the figure of the katechon. It is the connection between these two themes which defines Schmitt’s positive and polemical political theology, which can be designated as a katechontic and metastatic political theology. The katechon itself will be defined as the metapolitical and transcendental condition of possibility of the political. The Nomos of the Earth will also be a necessary reference point for the correct understanding of the connection between theology and politics, given the theme of “detheologization,” as well as Schmitt’s lifelong engagement with the problem of the state in the work of Thomas Hobbes.

Authors: Villasenin Lucas
Published: June 2023

Introducción

En febrero de 2022 se cumplieron 50 años de la relación bilateral entre China y Argentina. Es un buen momento para poder recordar la historia de esta relación, sus hitos fundacionales, los consensos diplomáticos alcanzados y, también, poder analizar el estado actual de esta relación bilateral. En las últimas décadas el vínculo entre ambos países se ha fortalecido particularmente por el incremento del comercio y la llegada de inversiones de capitales chinos a la Argentina. La relación comercial asimétrica plantea desafíos para revertir la situación actual y obliga a que la Argentina planifique su relación estratégica con la nueva potencia global. En este artículo tratamos de entender el pasado y la actualidad de una relación que cumple 50 años y que requiere ajustes para poder potenciar su fortalecimiento en el futuro.
Der Schutz maritimer kritischer Infrastrukturen und das Konzept der Abschreckung
Authors: Pawlak Julian
Published: June 2023

Kurzfassung

Deutschland und der Westen stehen vor der Herausforderung, auch ihre maritimen kritischen Infrastrukturen (KRITIS) gegen Angriffe zu schützen. Lösungsansätze für den Schutz maritimer KRITIS lassen sich identifizieren im Rahmen von notwendiger Resilienz, ausreichend Redundanzen und einer übergreifenden Zusammenarbeit verschiedener Stakeholder, etwa zur effektiven Überwachung und Präsenz. Um erfolgreich zu sein, sollten solche Kooperationen über Staaten und ihre Streitkräfte hinausgehen und privatwirtschaftliche Akteure einbeziehen. Aus strategischem Blickwinkel wird zusammenfassend deutlich, dass der Schutz maritimer kritischer Infrastrukturen als ein Teil effektiver Abschreckung anzusehen ist.
Sargon II in the Mahidasht: New Evidence from Quwakh Tapeh, Kermanshah
Authors: Alibaigi Sajjad , MacGinnis John , Brisch Nicole , Levine Louis D. , Rezaei Iraj , Ghanbari Behnam
Published: June 2023

The eastward expansion of Assyria, richly narrated in official inscriptions and supported by corollary materials such as letters from the royal correspondence and oracular enquiries, remains in archaeological terms hugely under-explored. Over the past few years, however, this has begun to change and a succession of recent discoveries is starting to give us an increasingly more detailed picture of the imprint of Assyrian rule in this sector of the Empire. The two fragments of a monumental stele of Sargon II published here, excavated at the site of Quwakh Tapeh in the Mahidasht Plain, are an example of just the sort of find that is ushering in a new era in our understanding of the Assyrian presence in western Iran.
Modern Novel Writing in the Eighteenth Century: ‘Classic’ and Later Perspectives
Authors: Reinfandt Christoph
Published: June 2023

This article provides a recapitulation of Ian Watt’s classic account of the rise of the novel in terms of the rise of the middle class which finds its ideological equivalent in the rise of formal realism. While this account has been frequently countered by revisionist approaches in a largely new historicist mode, which insist that the historical multifariousness of modern novel writing in the eighteenth century is not fully captured by Watt (Lennart J. Davis, Michael McKeon, J. Paul Hunter, Jane Spencer, Nancy Armstrong and Janet Todd in the 1980s, Marcie Frank, Jordan Alexander Stein and Mike Goode more recently), it has not really lost its persuasiveness to this day. As the article tries to show, this persuasiveness rests on the ideological implications of Watt’s account of early novelistic practice rather than its actual historical implementation. This diagnosis has recently been confirmed by Mike Goode’s approach to Sir Walter Scott’s and Jane Austen’s ‘synthesis’ of fully developed formal realism in terms of ‘media behaviors’ and their affordances. In the case of Jane Austen, for example, the fact that later media usage in fanfiction tends to turn to narrative techniques from before Austen’s synthesis (letters, journals, etc.) points to the (perceived) ideological limitations of her technical achievement of smooth assimilation of multiple points of view into a naturalized third-person narrator’s discourse. This opens up new perspectives on Smollett’s practice of unassimilated multiperspectivity, especially in his last novelThe Expedition of Humphry Clinker(1771).
Spreading the Work: Introducing Eighteenth-Century ‘Derivatives’ in the Classroom
Authors: Araya Acosta Rebeca
Published: June 2023

The article reflects the experience of teaching an interactive seminar on the topic of rewriting the history of eighteenth-century literature through non-canonical texts. As such, the article considers firstly how to introduce graduate students to the revisionist scholarly debate recasting eighteenth-century literature and secondly how to adapt it in a way that is more relatable to them as digital natives with their concomitant mediatic skills. Attempting a participative literary historiography where students put together a new body of literature based on ‘derivatives’ (excerpts, abridgments, unauthorized imitations, or continuations of originals found on online databases) calls for a systematizing frame. The article proposes to achieve this through the preparatory reading of a choice of canonical works that reflect the contemporary critical responses to the proliferation of print. Not only does this first step avoid the dispersion of participants’ findings, but it also helps participants toward an easier understanding of the Foucauldian dynamics of discourse and how they inform his key notion of the author function and, ultimately, of the literary canon. By the time participants turn to choosing a derivative text in the second half of the course, the article argues, they have a clearer sense of the revisionist importance of such an endeavour.
The Effects of Soil Type, Exposure and Elevation on Leaf Size and Shape in Quercus cerris L.
Authors: Jovanović Marija , Milovanović Jelena , Nonić Marina , Šijačić-Nikolić MIrjana , Kerkez Janković Ivona , Grbović Filip
Published: June 2023

One of the main environmental factors that influence plant species and community diversity are soil types, exposure and elevation. This study aimed to evaluate differences in leaf size and shape of Quercus cerris L. along environmental gradients in the Šumadija region in Serbia by using geometric morphometrics methods. The results showed significant differences between Q. cerris individuals inhabiting sites with different soil types, exposures and elevations. Individuals growing on nutrient deficient soils had smaller leaf size, elongated petiole, wide leaf blade, and higher values of fluctuating asymmetry compared to individuals growing on nutrient-rich soils whose leaf size was larger, more variable in shape and had lower values of fluctuating asymmetry. Additionally, individuals inhabiting higher elevations had elongated and narrow leaves and short petioles. Leaf size was also greater in individuals from lower elevations and north-exposed sites. The results of this study suggest that leaf morphological traits are affected by habitat differences and exhibit considerable plasticity in response to environmental demands.
Umm Huwaiwitat: a Neolithic site near Petra, Jordan
Authors: Plekhov Daniel , Nicosia Cristiano , Silva Luiza Osorio G. , Newman Sarah , Rojas Felipe
Published: June 2023

Studies of the rural landscapes around the Nabataean/Roman city of Petra in Jordan have tended to assume a developmental trajectory based on that of the urban centre. Recent archaeological investigations at the site of Umm Huwaiwitat, however, shed light on the longer-term histories of human occupation and land use in the region north of Petra. Excavation has revealed Late Neolithic deposits formed by the burning of animal dung and the disposal of ash. These deposits underlie walls, today serving as agricultural terraces, which date to at least the Early Bronze Age. Umm Huwaiwitat therefore provides a microcosm of the long-lived and constantly reworked agricultural landscapes of the Middle East.
Borderlands archaeology and the quest for an improved ‘walled-off salad’ recipe
Authors: Amilhat Szary Anne-Laure
Published: June 2023

Archaeologists should always have their say in the interpretation of the archaeological record. Moreover, they should not allow those interpretations to be misappropriated by others, whether politicians, journalists or specialists of other disciplines. By contending that borders are a timely topic for archaeological attention, Emily Hanscam and Brian Buchanan (2023) make a decisive epistemological step forward within the field, also opening up the potential of the discipline's specialised knowledge for wider dissemination and impact. They advance from a straightforward position: the argument that re-bordering in the contemporary world, notably through the increasing fencing of borders (Bissonnette & Vallet 2020), often originates in a normative and normalising discourse on the past. The best example, according to the authors, is Hadrian's Wall, which appears as a common justification for the building of contemporary walls on a growing number of international borders. Their text unfolds a comparison between the archaeological findings about that one short segment of the Roman limes in northern Britain and the supposed properties of the contemporary infrastructure on the US/Mexico border, which successive US presidents have sought to reinforce—chief among them Donald Trump.
Because It Was Never Just Words
Authors: Nordstrom Susan Naomi
Published: June 2023

This poem, written after my writing was plagiarized, heeds Bowers’s (1994) call to use language, rather than silence, to express the emotions associated with the plagiarism of my work. I write how the act of plagiarism cut into my core and created a wound. That wound opened a space to see how, like Bowers (1997), my writing and creative process are deeply personal. They are inquiry (Richardson & St. Pierre, 2018). And they matter more than I ever knew. They are a life. A life that is healed with the writing of this poem. The poem and brief methodological note that follow it aim to open conversations about plagiarism in the qualitative inquiry literature.
Queer Cinema’s Practicing Muslims and Practicing Homosexuals
Authors: Qureshi Bilal
Published: June 2023

Bilal Qureshi returns to the pages of Film Quarterly to examine the unexpected success on the festival circuit and beyond of Joyland (Saim Sadiq, 2022), from Pakistan, and Le bleu du caftan (The Blue Caftan, Maryam Touzani, 2022), from Morocco. Both films are singular, unusual stories of success from underrepresented film cultures, prompting Qureshi to inquire whether they represent a queer breakthrough for Pakistani or Moroccan filmmaking. Elegant, lush, and romantic, each an impeccably made window into middle-class Pakistani and Moroccan family life and unspoken queer desire, Joyland and The Blue Caftan open up exciting conversations about the future of queer cinema and, perhaps even more importantly, about Muslim cinema.
Becoming Global Asia: Contemporary Genres of Postcolonial Capitalism in Singapore
Authors: Naruse Cheryl Narumi
Published: June 2023

Becoming Global Asia centers Singapore as a crucial site for comprehending the uneven effects of colonialism and capitalism. In the wake of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Singapore transformed its reputation as a culturally sterile and punitive nation to “Global Asia”—an alluring location ideal for economic flourishing. Cheryl Narumi Naruse analyzes how Singapore gained cultural capital and soft power by examining genres such as literary anthologies, demographic compilations, coming-of-career narratives, and princess fantasies. Tracing the trajectory of Singapore’s positioning as Global Asia, Naruse reveals how the country emerged as a celebrated postcolonial model nation and a site of imperial desire that enables subjugation of the so-called Third World. Her readings of Global Asia as an invention of postcolonial capitalism offer new conceptual paradigms for understanding postcolonialism, neoliberalism, and empire.
Orientalism, Disorientation, and the “Other Side of the World”
Authors: El Houkayem Maroun
Published: June 2023

This paper examines orientalism and its repercussions in the field of Late Antiquity. Instead of treating orientalism as a textual phenomenon, I argue that it is a continuous experiential process that comes as a result of encountering texts, objects, and others. I take examples from familiar academic practices and institutions—translations, editions, archeology, museums, digitization, etc.—all of which are related to access to this field. Discourses on progress sometimes cloud the ethical and moral issues of these practices, which we have inherited from older generations of Western scholars. I show how modern efforts and approaches remain insufficient in some cases, and more importantly how they primarily benefit scholars from or located in the West. This article, thus, aims to point out their shortcomings and critique the prevailing optimistic narrative of justice and progress in the hopes of inciting a more productive dialogue about access and knowledge production.
The Impact of Fiscal Variables on Economic Growth in Indonesia
Authors: Aprianti Yesi , Muliati Muliati , Sulindrina Andra
Published: June 2023

Economic growth is one indicator of the government's success, and the declining economic growth rates, even at the level of districts/cities, became the strategic issue of this research. The research objective of the researcher is to analyze economic growth as a regional productivity output and address specific research problems, whether economic growth, regional income (PAD), government’s direct expenditure, balancing fund, and labor participation influence the current economic growth. The scope of the research is districts/cities in Indonesia during 2015-2020. Panel data were analyzed using General Moment Method (GMM) estimation. The results of panel data processing in 487 regencies/cities in Indonesia show that there is a significant influence between the previous year's economic growth and direct spending on economic growth. This indicates that regional economic growth in Indonesia still requires expansionary policies. Furthermore, the researcher did not find any empirical evidence of the influence of PAD growth and balancing funds on economic growth, while the labor force participation rate/TPAK shows an insignificant negative relationship to economic growth.
International Trade Price Index: A Leading Indicator for Indonesia's Inflation?
Authors: Kurniawan Wawan , Kadir Kadir
Published: June 2023

As one of essential indicators in economy, inflation rate can be determined by several factors. One of these factors is price index other than CPI, representing price change, other at consumer level. Many studies have examined the effect of price indices such as Producer Price Index (PPI) and Wholesale Price Index (WPI) on inflation, including in Indonesia. However, in an open economy, the level of openness, which can be approximated by International Trade Price Index (IHPI), may also influence changes in inflation. In Indonesia, no studies still examine the nexus between ITPI and inflationThis study aims to examine the effect of price indices variables other than at consumer level, particularly ITPI, on inflation and whether we can use it as one of the leading indicators of inflation in Indonesia. The analysis results of the ARDL-ECM model show that all price indices variables simultaneously influence inflation. However, the effect of each variable partially on inflation in the short and long run varies. The speed of adjustment to return to equilibrium is 4.67% per month after the shock happened. Nevertheless, the effect of ITPI on inflation is insignificant, both in the short and long run. Thus, we can conclude that ITPI is not yet able to be a leading indicator of inflation in Indonesia. However, the result of this study must be carefully concluded since the use of time series analysis depends on the lag length and the number of observations included.
Perbandingan Metode Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI) dan Forest Canopy Density (FCD) untuk Identifikasi Tutupan Vegetasi (Kasus; Area Pembuatan Jalan Baru Singaraja-Mengwi)
Authors: Adi Nugraha A Sediyo , Ananda Citra I Putu
Published: June 2023

This research uses Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS image which objective to determine the accuracy level of SAVI method and FCD model in the identification of vegetation cover. It is done as an effort to assist in determining the right method of monitoring the change of vegetation cover in the forest area. Therefore, this research compares the vegetation index of Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI) because it is able to suppress the background of the soil so that the vegetation cover is able to be displayed according to the conditions in the field. While the FCD model uses four variables such as; Advanced Vegetation Index (AVI), Bare Soil Index (BI), Shadow Index (SI), and thermal index using the Split-Windows Algorithm (SWA) method. Comparison results between SAVI and FCD models indicate that the higher accuracy of SAVI is 84% and FCD model is only 82%. It is possible because the limited use of research areas that show SAVI is superior due to heterogeneous conditions and it approaches the conditions in the field than the FCD model that is more group and only able to be realized in three classes. Based on the results, it was concluded that the vegetation index can be used in monitoring the limited area of research but it is also not absolute because it is possible that FCD model is better.

Aplikasi Model Rusle untuk Estimasi Kehilangan Tanah Bagian Hulu di Sub Das Garang, Jawa Tengah
Authors: Hanafi Fahrudin , Pamungkas Dany
Published: June 2023

The Garang watershed is one of the main rivers passing through Semarang City, Central Java. Garang uptream is mostly a buffer zone and a catchment area for the water and soil resources conservation of Semarang City and surroundings. This research is located in the upstream Garang watershed, with the aim of knowing the level of erosion or soil loss tolerance due to land use change.The erosion model is specific to sheet erosion which modeled with RUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation) method. The data used are (R) ground rainfall from 7 hydrological stations for 10 years, (K) soil types derived from land form interpretation, (LS) length and slope from SRTM radar data, (CP) conservation and land cover derived using a multispectral supervised classification (maximum likelihood). The quality of modeling is maintained through validation of input data, such as the normal ratio method and consistency test of rain data, soil texture and color surveys for soil data, confusion matrices for land cover and slope validation.The research results of the upstream Garang watershed area of 1191,56 hectares (14.14%), the erosion that occurred was still below the allowable erosion limit, while the area of 7.232,67 hectares (85.86%) was erosion that occurred above the allowable erosion value. The average soil loss is 222 tonnes / ha / year with the potential for soil loss up to 39,236 tonnes per year or soil loss thickness of 3.8 cm. Even though it is within the threshold, this must be controlled considering the importance of the upstream Garang watershed, whose land cover has begun to change its function to agriculture and plantations on sloping land.

Tropical Cyclones often occur in Indonesia and have disastrous impacts. Until now, no research has focused on time series data related to groundwater discharge and chemistry due to tropical cyclones. Therefore, this study aims to analyze and compare the characteristics of the hourly time series, both discharge and chemistry of the Guntur karst springs. Guntur Spring was affected by the tropical cyclone of Savannah on March 17, 2019. The method used in this study consisted of two parts, namely the analysis of the discharge and chemistry of Guntur Spring. Discharge analysis was performed by correlation test with rain intensity. Chemical analysis was carried out using the Minister of Health Regulation No. 90 of 2002 and expert standards. Other chemical analyzes were performed using a triangular piper, rectangular piper, and stiff diagram of the parameters Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, SO42-, Cl-, and HCO3-. The results of the relationship between discharge and rain intensity are directly proportional and increase significantly during a cyclone. The results of analysis of the Guntur Springs during Tropical Cyclone Savannah, all parameters are in accordance with the quality standard. In addition, there was a reduction in ion content due to the dilution process of Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, HCO3-., DHL, and pH ions compared to non-cyclone, Beton Resurgence, and Gremeng Resurgence ions. The chemical results when the cyclone is different compared to non-cyclone, Gremeng Resurgence and Beton Resurgence with a characteristic decrease in ionic content.

Published: June 2023

Graduates from undergraduate education contributed 6.31% to the unemployment rate. The Higher Education is expected to develop curriculum and learning not only scientifically oriented, but also facilitate life skills for its graduates. This study aims to analyze the profile of students about microbiology learning based on bioentrepreneurship. The research method is descriptive exploratory. The research subjects were 60 students who had taken microbiology courses in the Biology Education Study Program at FPMIPATI, Universitas PGRI Semarang, which consisted of semesters 7, 9, and 11. The instrument was a closed questionnaire with a choice of answers using the Guttman scale. A questionnaire on student perceptions of microbiology learning based on bioentrepreneurship was developed referring to perceptual indicators, namely knowledge and interest in entrepreneurship, knowledge of microbiology, relevance of microbiology concepts, bioentrepreneurship. Indicators developed in 25 questions and validated by experts and valid. The results showed that overall, the average score was 2.17. From each element, the highest average score is the Innovation element (3,4) and the lowest score from organizational creation and growth (1). Based on the data, the bioentrpreneurship profile is still low. Therefore, it is necessary to recommend the development of a learning program oriented towards bioentreprenurship in microbiology lectures.

This study aims to improve student learning outcomes on chemistry subjects by applying the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) learning model for tenth-grade students. The method used is classroom action research that is carried out in three cycles, each cycle consisting of two meetings. Techniques of data collecting use the observation sheet and final testing cycle. Observation sheet was used to determine the activity of students and the test to determine student learning outcomes. Based on research, gained mastery learning outcomes of students increased from 45% before treatment (T0) to 55% in the first cycle (T1), 72.5% in the second cycle (T2) and 87.5% in the third cycle. Average student activity within the group at the first cycle of 53.43%, 57.18% for the second cycle and the third cycle of 64.47%. Average student learning outcomes at the first cycle of 70, 55, 72,125 for the second cycle and the third cycle of 74,6. Cooperative learning strategies are effective when the curricular knowledge taught in the school is drawn from all groups by playing. Based on these results, the researchers suggest to teachers who have the same problem in learning can apply learning model Teams Games Tournament (TGT).

Deregulated kinase action in prostate cancer: molecular basis and therapeutic implications
Authors: Singh Nidhi , Heemers Hannelore V
Published: June 2023

Prostate cancer (CaP) remains the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in American men. Systemic treatments for metastatic CaP, which causes the majority of deaths, include androgen deprivation therapy and chemotherapy. These treatments induce remissions but do not cure CaP. Novel and functionally diverse therapeutic targets that control the cell biology that drives aggressive CaP progression are needed to overcome treatment resistance. Because signal transduction that mediates CaP cell behavior is tightly regulated by phosphorylation, kinases have attracted interest as alternative targets for CaP treatments. Here, we examine emerging evidence from recent NextGen sequencing and (phospho) proteomics analyses on clinical CaP specimens that were obtained during lethal disease progression to determine the role of deregulated kinase action in CaP growth, treatment resistance, and recurrence. We provide an overview of kinases that are impacted by gene amplification, gene deletion or somatic mutations during the progression from localized treatment-naïve CaP to metastatic castration-resistant CaP or neuroendocrine CaP, and the potential impact of such alterations on aggressive CaP behavior and treatment efficacy. Furthermore, we review knowledge on alterations in the phosphoproteome that occur during the progression to treatment-resistant CaP, the molecular mechanisms in the control of these changes, and the signal transduction associated with them. Finally, we discuss kinase inhibitors under evaluation in CaP clinical trials and the potential, challenges, and limitations to moving knowledge on the CaP kinome forward to new therapeutic strategies.

Standard-of-care treatment options provide an excellent prognosis for papillary thyroid cancers (PTCs); however, approximately 10% of cases are advanced PTCs, resulting in less than 50% 5-year survival rates. Understanding the tumor microenvironment is essential for understanding cancer progression and investigating potential biomarkers for treatment, such as immunotherapy. Our study focused on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), which are the main effectors of antitumor immunity and related to the mechanism of immunotherapy. Using an artificial intelligence model, we analyzed the density of intratumoral and peritumoral TILs in the pathologic slides of The Cancer Genome Atlas PTC cohort. Tumors were classified into three immune phenotypes (IPs) based on the spatial distribution of TILs: immune-desert (48%), immune-excluded (34%), and inflamed (18%). Immune-desert IP was mostly characterized by RAS mutations, high thyroid differentiation score, and low antitumor immune response. Immune-excluded IP predominantly consisted of BRAF V600E-mutated tumors and had a higher rate of lymph node metastasis. Inflamed IP was characterized by a high antitumor immune response, as demonstrated by a high cytolytic score, immune-related cell infiltrations, expression of immunomodulatory molecules (including immunotherapy target molecules), and enrichment of immune-related pathways. This study is the first to investigate IP classification using TILs in PTC through a tissue-based approach. Each IP had unique immune and genomic profiles. Further studies are warranted to assess the predictive value of IP classification in advanced PTC patients treated with immunotherapy.
