Authors: Isnawati Uzlifatul Masruroh , Rahayu Nanik Sri
Published: October 2023

While studies on the teaching of English for specific purposes (ESP) in higher institutions have been widely explored, there is a paucity of research addressing how ESP teachers in higher education deal with their emotional geography when teaching ESP. The data of this present study were garnered through in-depth interviews and analyzed following Braun and Clarke’s (2014) thematic analysis. Anchored by Hargreaves' (2001) emotional geography, the study revealed that the participant had undergone negotiated emotional changes in his experiences as an ESP teacher, which were anchored by physical, social, moral, professional, and political aspects. The findings of this study informed that the participant experienced sustainable adaptation through negotiated emotional changes in his role as an ESP teacher in tertiary education. Furthermore, the present study revealed that ESP lecturer shows five aspects of emotional geographies. Understanding the results of the current study may encourage ESP teachers to handle their feelings when instructing with caution. The participant's stories in this study provide pedagogical insights for redesigning curriculum that focus on ESP learning. Policymakers could also use the results of this study to implement training programs for ESP teachers on how to successfully teach English for specific purposes for non-English department students.

EXPLORING THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY EMBEDDED IN THE BUSINESS MODEL. THE PERSPECTIVE OF VIETNAM
Authors: TRAN Anh Tuan
Published: October 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic has exposed the leadership inability of the head of several states. This is also an occasion for countries’ policymakers to reconsider policies regarding priorities for policies. Combining with the COP26 conference after the beginning of the new normality, where policymakers gathered for initiating collective actions to tackle climate change. This event turns out that requires collective action in the private and business sector in handling sustainability. These events play very crucial factors in paving the way for the increase of competitiveness in the market through a more sustainable business model. The circular economy is a recent tendency of developed countries while implementing policy within these criteria. The approach of the Environment, Social and Governance report indicator (ESG) is not new and a favorable option for many multinational corporations including small and medium-sized enterprises in several developed countries. ESG is expected that investors and policy-makers would evaluate firms regarding sustainability. It is to say that ESG will be a factor in the process of shaping the global circular economy. However, enterprises in developing countries might take slow progress in this regard, especially in Vietnam. The dissemination of the circular economy is somewhat slow. Vietnam is gradually employing this economic model. And firms operating within the country are being encouraged to shift their linear business model to a circular economic business model. Vietnam's government is making its effort to pave the way for more sustainable economic development by raising awareness of the circular economy, ESG, and sustainable business. Based on the exploratory research, this paper uses web content analysis, secondary sources, and literature research especially the national policies to revise the perspectives of the government and firms. Moreover, this paper should view the development trend of the circular economy in Vietnam. This paper will investigate the situation in Vietnam by analyzing national reports and policies. Several enterprises implementing the circular economy model will be taken under consideration regarding their direction and how they perceive it.

L’INTELLIGENCE DU SENTIMENT SELON ROUSSEAU
Authors: OLCÈSE Rodolphe
Published: October 2023

The intelligence of sentiment according to Rousseau. This article aims to consider the reflections that Jean-Jacques Rousseau develops on the feeling of self-affection in the Discours sur l’origine de l’inégalité and in Émile. This type of self-affection does not lead everyone to consider themselves as the sole object of their attention. On the contrary, it invites us to apprehend a kind of sensitivity that necessarily overflows into their environment. By insisting on how this feeling articulates us immediately and intimately with nature, the thought of Rousseau makes it possible to formulate the hypothesis of an expansion of feeling, which is likely to encounter contemporary climatic questions. It also leads us to develop a reflection on the necessity and the means of transforming our presence into a damaged nature.
REZUMAT. Inteligența sentimentului potrivit lui Rousseau. Acest text își propune să reinterpreteze ideile pe care Jean-Jacques Rousseau le are despre sentimentul de iubire de sine în Discurs asupra originii și fundamentelor inegalității dintre oameni și în Émile. Această iubire de sine nu îndeamnă să facem din fiecare persoană unicul obiect al propriei atenții ci, dimpotrivă, ne invită să luăm în considerare o sensibilitate care se revarsă neapărat în jurul său. Insistând asupra felului în care acest sentiment ne leagă în mod imediat și intim cu natura, perspectiva lui Rousseau ne permite să formulăm ipoteza unei expansiuni a sentimentului. Această perspectivă ar putea să se confrunte cu problemele climatice, ai căror contemporani suntem și ar putea să educe o gândire asupra necesității și modalităților de transformare a prezenței noastre într-o natură distrusă.

The Widening of the Logic and the Care of the State
Authors: POGHOSYAN Will
Published: October 2023

The main problem of Plato᾿s Republic and of contemporary Russia is the fusion of the state power and philosophy in order to improve both the state and the individual. The article deals with the problem of widening the logic causing the defacement of sciences and endangering the existence of the state. There is a hidden agenda, a hidden problem: The prepositive widened attribute destroying the “philosophical (logical) syntax” of the Vienna Circle. The article raises the problem of the metaphysics as the spiritual foundation of the European civilization and considers its repudiation by the logical positivists as a knotty problem. The great problem is the evil influence of the logical positivism on the American politics wich is applying the syncretic method of the Vienna Circle. At present, philosophy is not even mentioned among the related disciplines of politics in the sense of state theory (history, state law, international law, sociology, political economy, psychology, ethics). Today there is a necessity that makes philosophers anxious about the state, and the state will have to obey them if it does not want to perish. Philosophy is the valiant guardian of the state, a guarantee of its preservation. It was the absence of this guard that led to the death of the Soviet Union.

This study aims to: 1) analyze the correlation of students' historical empathy preferences with elements of the student profile of Pancasila; 2) formulate a historical empathy actualization model to achieve a student profile of Pancasila by referring to students' cognitive and affective preferences in learning history. This study uses a quantitative method to determine the correlation of historical empathy with elements of the student profile of Pancasila and a qualitative method to formulate interrelationships between components in the study and formulate a historical empathy actualization model to achieve a student profile of Pancasila. The results showed: 1) there was a significant correlation in the three aspects of empathy with the elements and sub-elements of the student profile of Pancasila; 2) based on students' cognitive and affective preferences in history learning, an actualization model can be formulated using two models, namely actualization that is relevant is the use of edutainment in history learning and project learning based on learning products.
Construction of an innovative model of English online teaching based on a multimedia English learning system model
Authors: Zhou Hongyu
Published: October 2023

This paper explores a multimedia learning system suitable for students’ independent English learning through the current development of assisted English learning systems, university-level English teaching requirements, and learner characteristics. Based on the model of the proposed multimedia English learning system, in the endpoint detection stage of speech, short-time excess rate and short-time energy are combined to process the endpoint detection of speech. In the final speech comparison stage, the dynamic time planning algorithm DTW is analyzed and improved before the similarity recognition of speech. We also complete the requirement analysis of the English-speaking learning system by combining the relevant theories and applying the speech signal processing technology and template matching technology to realize a multimedia-assisted learning system suitable for college students to conduct independent English learning. Through the English-speaking test of two classes, the control class using traditional online teaching had many failures reaching 25%, while the experimental class using the English-assisted learning platform passed all of them. 80 points or more were achieved by only 5% of the control class, while 20% of the experimental class. The average score of the control class was 63.4, while the experimental class was 72.1, and the experimental class was 8.7 points higher than the control class. Therefore, teaching English-assisted learning platforms can improve students’ English-speaking abilities.
Characterization of second-order chaotic circuits with heterogeneous memristors
Authors: Li Rong
Published: October 2023

Amnesia-resistive chaotic circuits have various application prospects due to their unique circuit characteristics. In this paper, by studying the relationship between memristors and chaotic circuits, two models of magneto-controlled memristors with smooth quadratic monotonic rise nonlinear characteristics are constructed based on Tsai’s circuit, and an active memristor circuit composed of negative conductance is combined to replace Tsai’s diode in Tsai’s circuit system, and then a magneto-controlled memristor is inserted between the LC resonant part of the circuit, thus establishing a heterogeneous memristor second-order chaotic circuit. Multisim is used for device modeling, circuit construction, and system composition and simulation. The simulation tests show that when t ∈ [0,900] ∪ [1800,2500], the system exhibits a chaotic state. When t ∈ (900,1800), the system exhibits a periodic state. As the initial value parameter d varies between [2,4.64], the state of the system shifts between chaotic and hyperchaotic states, while the complexity of the system changes back and forth. This study demonstrates that the heterogeneous magneto-controlled memristor chaotic circuit has a rich, chaotic behavior, providing an effective reference for applying chaotic memristor circuits.

Published: October 2023

This literature review aims to investigate and analyze the therapeutic effect of Patchouli essential oil (Pogostemon cablin) in alleviating eczema symptoms in infants and young children. Eczema is a common skin condition characterized by inflammation, itching, and redness that can significantly affect the quality of life of affected children and their families. Conventional treatments often use topical corticosteroids, which can have potential side effects. This review systematically examines relevant studies, articles, and research from reputable databases, focusing on the use of patchouli essential oil as an alternative therapeutic approach to treat eczema symptoms in the pediatric population. Several aspects are considered, including the chemical composition of patchouli essential oil, its potential mechanisms of action, and its reported efficacy in reducing inflammation and relieving itching associated with eczema. The results of the literature review suggest that patchouli essential oil possesses anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties that may contribute to its therapeutic effect in the treatment of eczema. Several studies have reported positive results, including a reduction in erythema, itching, and overall severity of eczema symptoms in infants and young children. However, the literature also has some limitations, such as the lack of standardized protocols, varying study designs, and limited long-term follow-up data. Overall, this literature review provides valuable insights into the therapeutic effects of patchouli essential oil in alleviating eczema symptoms in infants and young children. Further well-designed studies are needed to determine the optimal dosage, formulation, and long-term safety profile. The results of this review contribute to the growing body of knowledge on alternative treatments for pediatric eczema and provide a foundation for future research and clinical applications in this area.

FINDING THE TRANSCENDENTAL BEAST IN POETIC TRANSLATIONS OF CHAIRIL ANWAR’S AKU
Authors: Nasrul Chotib Mochamad , Subyanto Arif , Masduqi Harits , Widodo Herditya Wahyu
Published: October 2023

This study sets out to present the combined application of qualitative research and a translation method to elucidate the transcendental aspect of Chairil Anwar's poem entitled Aku. The translation process uses the poem’s verbatim format at first, then its interpretation of the content, and finally its inherent ideas by reading behind its lines. The transcending process is achieved through the use of a symbolic beast that permeates the poem’s structure. The beast-symbol has twofold functions in the poem, to say that everything beyond the persona-self is unworthy and thus the persona itself is capable of reaching a more divine place or becoming a higher being. Such a powerful symbol further substantiates the presence of a textual being, a voice of a persona that is inherent within the poem’s structure, and of which function is to express the persona’s wish to transcend into something bigger or higher than himself, which is resembling, if not equal to, a godly being.

Keywords: poem’s persona, poetic translation, transcendentalism.

Porang tubers (Amorphophallus oncophyllus) have recently garnered more attention with the increasing demand for their derivative products. This research aimed to determine the morphological and chemical characteristics of porang tubers from different harvest periods. The method used was a completely randomized design. Also, for comparison, the morphological and chemical characteristics of bulbils were obtained from previous studies. Based on the analysis, morphologically, the stem tubers have an oval shape developing at the base of the stem with yellowish-brown to orangish-brown skin. Bulbils have an irregular oval shape with brown skin and white spots. They all have similarly dark yellow fibers. The stem tubers in the first harvest period were smaller in diameter and lighter (479.20 ± 183.54 g) than in the second period (609.71 ± 169.42 g). In contrast, bulbils at the leaf axils are smaller (diameter = 3–3.7 cm, thickness = 1.9–2.4 cm) and only weigh about 12.3–25.3 g. Chemical analysis revealed that the flour made from the stem tubers contained 14.28–17.57% glucomannan and 9.16­–11.10% protein, generally higher than bulbils with 25.78% glucomannan and 9.52% protein (very low). The yields of porang flour were 0.15±0.02% and 0.14±0.01% from the first and second harvest.

Utilization of an eco-friendly bioactive yellow pigment from Streptomyces thinghirensis AF7 for making colored antimicrobial fabrics
Authors: Al-Tekreeti Afnan R. A. , Luti Khalid Jaber Kadhum
Published: October 2023

Despite their long successful use, synthetic dyes have several problems due to their carcinogenic and toxic effects. Besides providing bright colors, some natural pigments have shown notable antimicrobial activity; thus, they could be utilized as functional dyes in many applications such as making colored antimicrobial textiles. In this work, a yellow pigment produced by Streptomyces thinghirensis AF7 and has a notable antimicrobial activity was used to produce a colored antimicrobial textile. The extracted yellow pigment was subjected to a purification step using silica gel column eluted with di ethyl ether solvent. The FTIR, GC-MS and NMR analysis showed that the colorings in this type of product are due to the presence of chromopeptides. The purified yellow pigment was effectively used to dye two types of fabrics (cotton and polyester). Results showed that polyester had more affinity for yellow pigment than cotton. The stability of dyed fabrics was verified based on ISO 105-E01:2013 which demonstrated that both dyed cotton and polyester fabrics had a considerable degree of fastness to water, seawater and detergent. Moreover, yellow dyed Polyester fabric exhibited more stability against acid than yellow dyed cotton fabric, and both were unstable against alkaline solution. Finally, the yellow dyed fabrics showed antibacterial properties against S. aureus proving that the antibacterial activities of the yellow pigment could be retained when the pigment is bound to the fabric.

Authors: Tukkee Israa Qasem Hussain , Hussain Salah Ali , Sahaab Abdalratha Mohammed
Published: October 2023

Four subsurface sections and electrical, porosity logs, and gamma-ray logs of the Khasib Formation (age Late Turonian-Lower Coniacian) were studied to identify reservoir characteristics and to evaluate the reservoir properties of the Khasib reservoir units in the East Baghdad oilfield. The lithology of the formation is limestone throughout the whole sequence in all studied wells EB-83, EB-87, EB-92, and EB94. It is bounded conformably from the top by Tanuma Formation and has a conformable lower contact with Kifl Formation. The lower and upper boundaries of the formation were determined using well log analysis, and the formation was divided into three main rock units (Kh1, Kh2, and Kh3), depending on the porosity logs. The porosity was calculated using acoustic or sonic, neutron, and density logs. The effective porosity (average 0.0 - 0.32 %) is the predominant porosity in the formation and to less extent; the secondary porosity. The volume of shale is very low (average 0.0 - 0.13 %), indicating limestone is the main rock of the Khasib Formation. The study of the reservoir water (average 0.11- 1.0%) and hydrocarbon saturations (average 0.0 - 0.88 %) showed that the formation contains varying proportions and quantities of water and hydrocarbons suspended in the wall void, and hydrocarbons capable of being produced. The lithological study reflected that the predominant lithic formation is limestone. It was found that Kh 2 unit is the best oil reservoir unit in all selected wells in terms of porosity, water saturation, diagenesis processes, and microfacies analysis.

The goal of this research is to solve several one-dimensional partial differential equations in linear and nonlinear forms using a powerful approximate analytical approach. Many of these equations are difficult to find the exact solutions due to their governing equations. Therefore, examining and analyzing efficient approximate analytical approaches to treat these problems are required. In this work, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is proposed. We use convergence control parameters to optimize the approximate solution. This method relay on choosing with complete freedom an auxiliary function linear operator and initial guess to generate the series solution. Moreover, the method gives a convenient way to guarantee the convergence of series solutions via the control parameter curve graphical method to rate the convergence and obtain the best solution. Decoding and analyzing potential Korteweg-de-Vries, Benjamin, and Airy equations, followed by convergence analysis to demonstrate the applicability of the method. By using the programs Mapel and Mathematica, the obtained results are very effective, accurate, and convergent to the exact solution after a few iterations, as shown in the tables and figures of this work.

Graceful labeling of a graph  with q edges is assigned the labels for its vertices by some integers from the set such that no two vertices received the same label, where each edge is assigned the absolute value of the difference between the labels of its end vertices and the resulting edge labeling running from 1 to  inclusive. An edge labeling of a graph G is called vertex anntimagic, if all vertex weights are pairwise distinct, where the vertex weight of a vertex under an edge labeling is the sum of the label of all edges incident with that vertex.  In this paper, we address the problem of finding graceful antimagic labelin for split of the star graph ,  graph,  graph, jellyfish graph , Dragon graph , kite graph ( and the double comb graph ,

We introduce in this paper, the notion of a 2-quasì-prime module as a generalization of quasi-prime module, we know that a module E over a ring R is called quasi-prime module, if (0) is quasi-prime submodule. Now, we say that a module E over ring R is a 2-quasi-prime module if (0) is 2-quasi-prime submodule, a proper submodule K of E is 2-quasi-prime submodule if whenever ,  and , then either  or .
Many results about these kinds of modules are obtained and proved, also, we will give a characterization of these kinds of modules.

Review of Challenges and Solutions for Genomic Data Privacy-Preserving
Authors: Yousif Hiba M. , Hameed Sarab M.
Published: October 2023

The dramatic decrease in the cost of genome sequencing over the last two decades has led to an abundance of genomic data. This data has been used in research related to the discovery of genetic diseases and the production of medicines. At the same time, the huge space for storing the genome (2–3 GB) has led to it being considered one of the most important sources of big data, which has prompted research centers concerned with genetic research to take advantage of the cloud and its services in storing and managing this data. The cloud is a shared storage environment, which makes data stored in it vulnerable to unwanted tampering or disclosure. This leads to serious concerns about securing such data from tampering and unauthorized searches by those involved. In addition to securing inquiries, making calculations on this data, and generating differential privacy and garbled circuits, cryptography is considered one of the important solutions to this problem. This paper introduces most of the important challenges related to maintaining privacy and security and classifies each problem with appropriate, proposed, or applied solutions that will fuel researchers' future interest in developing more effective privacy-preserving methods for genomic data.

Endometrial Cancer (EC) is one of the most common malignancy of the female reproductive system. With an increasing incidence, it is important to improve the new prognosis ways for its pre-diagnosis that must be early, accurate and effective. This study aimed to search for biological (like some new interleukins) which could help in early diagnosis of EC before the hysterectomy. Currently not enough research is being done exploiting linking between the interleukins submitted in this study and EC. Epically IL-36 and IL-38, which have been recently described and are still under study in the world. This study is the first of its kind in Iraq. Fifty-five patients with EC (mainly in their first or second stage, due to early diagnosis and who newly have the symptoms and pain as a result of cancer) and 57 healthy controls (with ages up to 45) were involved in this study. To measure the concentration of the following interleukins: IL-27, 31, 33, 35, 36 and 38 by ELISA, blood samples were collected from women via vein puncture. The results of this study showed a highly significant (P≤0.01) increase in Interleukin 27 (IL-27), Interleukin 31 (IL-31) and Interleukin 33 (IL-33) among all studied interleukins levels in EC patient as compared with healthy controls. Interleukin 35 (IL-35), Interleukin 36 (IL-36) and Interleukin 38 (IL-38) also showed highly significant (P≤0.01) increase in EC patients as compared with healthy women. The significant increase (P≤0.01) of these interleukins can be used to help in the early diagnosis and treatment of EC, without need to hysterectomy or histological diagnosis.

Contra Stultitiam: una reflexión filosófica sobre la actualidad de las teorías de conspiración y de la pseudociencia
Authors: Meier Thomas
Published: October 2023

Como participantes de discursos en sociedades democráticas, vivimos tiempos desafiantes. Distintos movimientos populistas de variados trasfondos ideológicos amenazan constantemente el discurso que se ha logrado y cultivado durante las últimas décadas. En este libro se exponen propuestas para una solución, esto es, que todos apliquemos ampliamente los postulados de lo que se ha dado en llamar “la concepción científica del mundo”. Esta visión, defiende el autor, es la visión más democrática, pluralista, intelectualmente humilde y constructiva que tenemos para enfrentar nuestros retos, especialmente viendo la situación con enfoque a la filosofía de la ciencia. Meier nos dice además que somos individuos, pero siempre y necesariamente somos parte de una u otra estructura social, alguna comunidad, por disfuncional que sea. Por esto debemos luchar en contra de fuerzas divisorias, de la estupidez, de fantasías conspiracionistas, de la demagogia y el populismo, para enfocarnos en lo racional, en lo que funciona para fundamentar y fomentar el conocimiento científico y avanzar como sociedades civilizadas, democráticas y libres, con instituciones sólidas, democráticas y pluralistas. Y, sobre todo, con un Estado de derecho funcional.
