Published: November 2023

There is an estimation of application of power installations in a mode of trigeneration: with gas at the input, and with electric power, heat and cold at the output, functioning in an automatic mode, positive and negative sides of their use are considered. Cogeneration systems based on gas turbine with compression or absorption chillers, satisfying consumers in electric, heat and cooling energy in a building or a group of buildings, are considered. The use of trigeneration systems allows efficient utilization of heat for heating in winter and for air conditioning and process needs in summer, for example, use of cold for freezers in hospitals. At the same time, there is no reduction in efficiency throughout the year. The trigeneration technology is an excellent alternative to conventional power plants with a large amount of electrical energy and allows the use of absorption chillers in case of high cost or shortage of electricity. Such units consume less electricity compared to compressor units and require lower costs. At the same time, the use of absorption refrigeration machines (ARM) is totally justified when operating in the mode of a mini-CHP, which produces heat in winter (as cold is not needed or is needed only in small amounts), and in summer there is no need for it, but there is a need for cold. The payback period of such a system is relatively low, the net present value is high, and the profitability index is usually greater than one. Cold storage contributes to the economic viability of a trigeneration system. Since the payback period does not take into account the time factor of investment, the net present value or, better yet, the profitability index should be used. A trigeneration system consists of several units with different service lives and different investment results.

Introduction: Artocarpus heterophyllus LMK. leaves contain flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, which have the potential to be antibacterial. Aims: This study aims to test the antibacterial activity of A. heterophyllus leaves ethanol extract, which is formulated in a gel preparation. Methods: Antibacterial testing was done on the acne-causing bacteria Propionibacterium acnes. The gel formula is designed with an extract concentration of 5, 10, or 15% with Carbopol 940 and HPMC as the bases. The antibacterial activity test was carried out using the well diffusion method. Result: The results of the study showed that the concentration of the extract affected pH, adhesive power, removability, and viscosity. Antibacterial activity tests showed that the gel of A. heterophyllus extract could inhibit Propionibacterium acnes bacteria. The higher the concentration of the extract, the greater the antibacterial activity. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the gel with an extract concentration of 15% gave the strongest antibacterial activity with an inhibition zone of 10.9 ± 1.18 mm.
Divergent veterinarian and cat owner perspectives are barriers to reducing the use of cefovecin in cats
Authors: Cazer Casey L. , Lawless Jeanne W. , Frye Amelia , Gonzalez Lecsy , Safi Amelia Greiner
Published: November 2023

OBJECTIVE

To understand veterinarian and cat owner perspectives on antimicrobial use in cats, reasons for prescribing cefovecin, and barriers to improving antimicrobial stewardship, including veterinarian and cat owner perspectives of giving oral medication to cats.

SAMPLE

21 New York veterinarians and 600 cat owners across the US.

METHODS

Cat owners were surveyed about their preferences for and experiences in giving oral medications to cats and their experiences with antimicrobials specifically. Veterinarians were interviewed about antimicrobial use decisions in cats, benefits and drawbacks of cefovecin, and their perspectives on antimicrobial resistance.

RESULTS

Many veterinarians reported feeling pressure to prescribe antimicrobials, while 41% of cat owners reported requesting antimicrobials. Although veterinarians are aware of the downsides of prescribing cefovecin, many prescribed cefovecin in situations where an antimicrobial was not needed or cefovecin may not have been the best choice. Veterinarians thought that 20% of cat owners could not give oral medications, but < 10% of cat owners had a cat that was impossible to medicate.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

The disconnect between veterinarians’ assessment of and cat owners’ reported abilities in administering oral medication may contribute to cefovecin use. Demonstrating for cat owners how to give oral medication may help improve compliance and reduce the use of parenteral long-acting formulations. Structural and educational interventions are needed to address other contributors to inappropriate antimicrobial use. This research provides the specific considerations about barriers and motivations for cat owners and veterinarians that are required to guide strategic, tailored interventions for both audiences to advance stewardship.
Antiderivatives and Integration
Authors: Endou Noboru
Published: November 2023

In this paper, we introduce indefinite integrals [8] (antiderivatives) and proof integration by substitution in the Mizar system [2], [3]. In our previous article [15], we have introduced an indefinite-like integral, but it is inadequate because it must be an integral over the whole set of real numbers and in some sense it causes some duplication in the Mizar Mathematical Library [13]. For this reason, to define the antiderivative for a function, we use the derivative of an arbitrary interval as defined recently in [7]. Furthermore, antiderivatives are also used to modify the integration by substitution and integration by parts.

In the first section, we summarize the basic theorems on continuity and derivativity (for interesting survey of formalizations of real analysis in another proof-assistants like ACL2 [12], Isabelle/HOL [11], Coq [4], see [5]). In the second section, we generalize some theorems that were noticed during the formalization process. In the last section, we define the antiderivatives and formalize the integration by substitution and the integration by parts. We referred to [1] and [6] in our development.

Published: November 2023

Usability is one factor that influences software design success during the software testing process. Usability testing is used to evaluate whether the software meets user needs or not. Usability testing is usually carried out using a certain questionnaire method, but the distribution and measurement of the results are carried out separately. This makes the researchers spend more time testing the application. Therefore, this study provides a solution by designing and building web-based applications to measure the usability of a software design or product with the SUS, UMUX, and UMUX-lite questionnaires. The development method used in this study is Rapid Application Development (RAD) with the stages of the process starting with problem identification, literature study, needs planning, RAD design workshops, implementation, and report writing. The application was built using the Laravel framework and the database using MySQL. The main features of the online questionnaire application were the creation of a questionnaire and the analysis of the results of the questionnaire. The functionality of the application was tested by using the Black Box testing method. Then the developed application was also utilized in usability testing using the SUS, UMUX, and UMUX-lite questionnaires. The results of application usability testing using the SUS, UMUX, and UMUX-Lite methods obtained a final score of 88; 91,28, and 82,05 where all these values mean the application can be accepted and used. Keywords: Usability Testing, Rapid Application Development, SUS, UMUX, UMUX-Lite

A regulatory analysis of digital financial services and the adoption
of central bank digital currencies in Zimbabwe and South Africa
Authors: CHITIMIRA Howard , TORERAI Elfas
Published: November 2023

The use of digital financial services such as mobile money has created new frontiers
for more people, especially the poor, to participate in the formal payment systems in
Zimbabwe and South Africa. Individuals who do not have bank accounts are now able to
access financial services and products using technological devices such as mobile phones.
In this regard, digital financial services have broadened financial inclusion allowing the
poor to participate in financial markets and other formal economic activities which they were
unable to access before. In addition, digital financial services represent a broad range of
emerging financial technology (fintech) products which could lead to the adoption of digital
currencies in many countries, including Zimbabwe and South Africa. These fintech products
have been useful channels for the poor to transact and receive money since the outbreak of
the coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic. However, the regulation of digital financial services
and their products remains problematic in South Africa and Zimbabwe owing, in part, to the
absence of statutes that expressly and robustly regulate these services. Furthermore, there is
no sufficient policy clarity on the adoption of central bank digital currencies in the aforesaid
countries. Accordingly, this article explores the adequacy of the regulatory frameworks and
robustness of the enforcement approaches adopted in Zimbabwe and South Africa. This is
also done in the context of the African Union (AU)’s Agenda 2063 goal of enabling trade
linkages amongst African countries.

“The Reluctant Pilgrim:” Questioning Belief After Historical Loss
Authors: Farley Lisa
Published: November 2023

In this paper, I explore the question of belief as it is enacted in the inclination to return to places of history's lost objects. I argue that such returns, and the beliefs that fuel them, offer a site in which to consider the persistent, inter-generational effects of history, particularly when the history at stake is one of trauma. While, in education, belief is often cast as separate from historical consciousness, I suggest that belief is evidence, a remnant, of a "truth" of past trauma that disrupts the very capacity to know (Caruth, 1996). I ground my discussion in a case study of historical pilgrimage that returns every July to the former site of the Lejac Residential School in Northern British Columbia. This pilgrimage, in my view, lays bare the double-edged quality of belief as it intersects with the subject of history: on the one hand, there is the wish for redemption that repeats the very terms of history it seeks to overcome, and on the other hand, the possibility of tolerating the idea of a future that can face the vulnerabilities, anxieties and uncertainties that difficult history sets into motion. The pilgrimage, I believe, is a useful metaphor for thinking about curriculum, where what is at stake is not a "simple knowledge," but the capacity to open oneself to the vulnerabilities of living with and after historical loss.

An Uncanny Insurrection: Debating Negativity in the Work of Kara Walker
Authors: Bourke Melanie
Published: November 2023

Most well known for her large-scale silhouette installations, Kara Walker offers a critique of African-American history, as well as current cultural conditions, through a series of images that are a mixture of beautiful and grotesque, tranquil and violent, real and fantasized. Her work has provoked both criticism and commendation. In this paper, I bring Deborah Britzman’s (2009) educational theory into conversation with Mark Reinhardt’s (2007) aesthetic theory to examine the debates around Walker’s work through the questions: How might we read the anxieties brought about by Walker’s work? And, what might her work bring to bear on education?

The Role of Counter Narratives in the Renegotiation of Identity
Authors: Lyle Ellyn
Published: November 2023

Teacher identity resides in the foundational beliefs and assumptions educators have about teaching and learning and their participation in these experiences. What happens, though, when these beliefs and assumptions are challenged in such a way that identity is in crisis? Drawing from the literature of personal identity theory, I situate identity as a narrative construct to examine the role of counter narratives in the [re]negotiation of identity.
We’re All Creatives Now: Democratized Creativity and Education
Authors: Kalin Nadine M.
Published: November 2023

This article draws attention to and lays a critique against the relationship between creativity and neoliberalism within society, art, and education in order to both denaturalize and challenge its progression. I explore the following question: What might the implications be if contemporary education concerns itself with facilitating creativity for economic good at the expense of other conceptions of creativity? Here I confine myself to charting how creativity acts as a discursive term representing political, educational, artistic, economic, and social processes of our times. I maintain that creativity is profoundly transforming through processes of colonization and democratization associated with neoliberal economics and entrepreneurial innovation. In response to these changes, this article aims to re-appropriate creativity for education by pushing back against the current business bias with expanded meanings and purposes for creativity that do not align with creativity for industry alone.
Renderings of Loving Kindness: Dialogic Engagements in the Mathematics Classroom
Authors: Ausman Tasha Ann
Published: November 2023

I imagine mathematics to be a place of loving kindness and dialogue. In completing the above prompt for this Special Issue of JCACS, I invoke a fraught history of teaching and learning, drenched in contradictory feelings of love, hate, sadness and joy. Though pedagogically rigorous, many days in my classroom have been marked by tension, anxiety, and even cruelty, in the name of producing elegant, beautiful solutions to cleanly explicated problems. Determined to change these dynamics, I embarked on a recent journey with my high school mathematics students to cultivate a mindfulness practice of loving kindness by exploring new ways to engage in dialogue and open up possibilities for self-reflexivity. In this paper, I offer a rhetorical analysis (Felman, 1982) of my pen-and-ink graphical journal entries from past and present, alongside student drawings and reflection cards that were the result of new dialogic approaches in teaching mathematics. Through an emerging loving kindness pedagogy, this work begins to reveal the kinds of defences that fill the playground of psychic life unfolding in the mathematics classroom, as well as possibilities for future learning.
Dwelling in the Human/Posthuman Entanglement of Poetic Inquiry: Poetic Missives to and from Carl Leggo
Authors: Prendergast Monica
Published: November 2023

This inaugural Dr. Carl Leggo Memorial Lecture on Poetic Inquiry was delivered at the 7th International Symposium on Poetic Inquiry on October 3rd, 2019. I share a poetic conversation I have crafted out of Carl’s work that allows me, and all of us, to enter into a continuing dialogue with Carl’s words, which survive and will live on without his earthly presence. I discuss the process I undertook to create these poetic missives, in my voice and Carl’s, following the dialogue. All of the work beginning with “Dear Monica” are found poems created from Carl’s writing—his prose, not his poetry. My own poetic messages to Carl are mostly original, although they include a bit of found poetry from the literature on posthumanism. And the abecedarian poem is definitely inspired by Carl’s love of this type of poem, and his playful joy, always, in exploring the possibilities of language and poetry.
Discomfort, Revolt and Abjection in Skim
Authors: Downey Adrian , Whitty Pam
Published: November 2023

This presentation emerges from our experiences teaching an online, asynchronous children’s literature graduate course. Across its six-year history, teacher-participants have responded variously to the graphic novel Skim. Recently, when confronted with an image in the novel depicting a kiss between a female high school student and her female teacher, some course members focused solely on the kiss, seeming to dismiss the text entirely. To think through this unprecedented occurrence, and to consider its philosophic and curricular constraints/possibilities, we draw on the thinking of Julia Kristeva and those who interpret her work. Specifically, we are thinking about the role of discomfort in leading to Kristeva’s abjection—or, a casting out of the perceived other—and Sonja Arndt’s “dominant need to know” as possibly protecting against dwelling within the uncertain chaos of discomfort and the resulting redefinition of self. This presentation contributes to the ongoing conversation around pedagogies of discomfort. We also consider the distinct temporal experience of reading a graphic novel and suggest that the unique temporality of both the assigned reading and teacher-participants’ lives may encourage/discourage dwelling in discomfort. In closing, we discuss possible curricular and pedagogic shifts we might make to open spaces for dwelling with/in discomfort.
Symposium: Understanding the Connections Among Creativity, Spirituality and Wholeness, and their Significance for Teaching, Learning and Living
Authors: Kumar Ashwani , Irwin Rita L. , Kelly Vicki , Sameshima Pauline , Snowber Celeste
Published: November 2023

This symposium will initiate an inquiry into the relationship that exists, can exist and should exist between creativity and spirituality, and the significance of looking at creativity and spirituality from holistic perspectives. The panelists will explore these relationships in light of their own scholarly research and artistic and teaching practices, and they will underscore the significance of understanding these relationships for teaching, learning and living. The key questions that the panelists will explore in this symposium include the following:

• How are creativity, spirituality and wholeness connected?

• What is the significance of exploring and understanding these notions in relation to each other? For instance, how does seeing creativity as linked with spirituality and wholeness result in a more fulsome understanding of creativity?

• How might understanding the interconnections between creativity, spirituality and wholeness impact how we teach, learn and live?

• How may we introduce ourselves and our students to the inter-relatedness of creativity, spirituality and a notion of wholeness? Why is doing so important?
Shifting Transliteracies in Elementary School: Understanding How Transliteracy Practices Contribute to Grade-3 Students’ Construction of Meaning
Authors: Filipek Jacqueline
Published: November 2023

Situated within social constructivist understandings of multiliteracies, this eight-month ethnographic case study explored transliteracy practices in a Grade-3 classroom. The intention of this research was to learn how digital and multiliteracies support the ways in which children in elementary school construct meaning through transliteracy practices. Findings revealed that transliteracy, using both digital and analog technologies across modes, media, genres and platforms, is an effective lens to understand the shifting literacy practices of young 21st century learners. Transliteracy is described in relation to four literacy concepts: critical transliteracy, digital transliteracy, social transliteracy and disciplinary transliteracy. Understandings and implications of a transliteracy mindset are articulated in scholarship and pedagogy and by descriptive examples of transliteracy in the classroom. This study contributes to the growing conceptual understanding of transliteracy that supports the fluid nature of transliterate learning. It promotes the use of multiliteracies, student choice and opportunities to use more than one mode, device or platform simultaneously at school. Canadian students constantly face many choices in literacies; thus, being transliterate becomes significant to their literacy education.

Rancang Bangun Sistem Analisa Biaya Manfaat Ternak Sapi Berdasarkan Berat Badan Sapi
Authors: Azra Emyr Riyanda , Yendri Dodon , Adrizal
Published: November 2023

Cattle fattening proccess is very important to increase the weight of cattle before being sold. However, there are many traditional breeders looking for cows that have reached puberty, but the cow's body is still thin. This could be due to the absence of records in monitoring the weight growth of cows so that feeding becomes less precise. Based on these problems, a system was designed that helps farmers in managing their livestock management by recording the progress of each beef cattle that are kept, regulating cattle feeding so that it is more optimal, and knowing the cost benefits of cattle that are kept based on the growth of cow body weight. This system uses two load cells to weigh cows. The weight of the weighed cow can be stored in the web application database. The main function of this system is to be able to calculate and display the cost of benefits of cattle based on the growth of the cow's body weight. Based on the tests carried out, the system can weight cows using two 500kg load cells with an error value of 3.61%. The system can check cow data using keypad input with an average time of 3.99 seconds and store cattle data in the database with an average time of 4.99 seconds. The system can calculate the cost of cow feed needs in one month and income due to changes in cow weight with a 100% success rate.
The Absence of Parents and Psychopathic Disorder in Dismissed Movie
Authors: Natania Hana Kapila
Published: November 2023

This study aims to discover the psychopath characteristics of the main character, Lucas, as depicted in the movie Dismissed, and investigate how Lucasâ€™ obsession, which makes him a psychopath, is related to the absence of parents. The qualitative descriptive analysis method is used in analyzing the data. Data is collected by watching, understanding, identifying, interpreting, and analyzing data from the Dismissed movie. Thi study uses psychoanalytic theory by Sigmund Freud and psychopathic personality disorder by Robert D Hare. This study reveals that the absence of parents during Lucasâ€™ developmental period can wreak havoc on the manifestation of psychological disturbance in Lucas. Lucas has a psychopathic personality disorder. His psychopathic problem makes him a killer to gain his excessive obsession to get an â€œAâ€ from his teacher. The writer concludes that Lucasâ€™ psychopathic problem is convincingly connected to parental absence. Lucas experienced imperfect psychosexual development, resulting in fixation at the phallic stage due to the death of his mother and the lack of intense bonding between Lucas and his father as his role model. Lucas becomes a person who has an excessive obsession, has poor behavior control, has no empathy, and has no remorse and guilt. When dealing with trauma and anxiety, Lucasâ€™ ego uses projection as a defense mechanism. He projects the longingness for his mother figure to other women he kills. Therefore, his psychopathic behavior is a means he does to substitute and reduce the anxiety and trauma of parental absence in his life.

This study found that there are better communication skills, analytical and problem-solving skills, decision-making judgment, and boost learner self-confidence in using English as a second language. Communication skills and self-confidence are developing because there is an interaction between speakers in the context of role-play scenarios. Children tend to imprint a lesson that they experience themselves, consequently making them remember their mistake when they speak English in an attempt to have a conversation in communication. Thence this makes students learn from past mistakes and become more fluent in speaking English as a second language that does not sound stiff as a robot, unlike when they only learn from the textbook. Roleplay is fostering children's analytical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skill because role-play gave them a context of how to apply language in a real-life situation. The student will try to think in a logical order and to speak what they want, consequently stimulating their thinking ability in a good way.
