Published: January 2025

Peristiwa banjir pada DAS bertipe bulu burung di Banyuwangi dapat membawa dampak tingginya angkutan sedimen dan menurunnya kualitas air. Peluapan sungai Bomo dipacu karena intensitas hujan dan kecepatan aliran tinggi sehingga berdampak erosi, degradasi, dan kekeruhan yang tinggi. Tujuan penelitian untuk pengembangan alat ukur hidrometri berbasis sensor untuk deteksi konsentrasi sedimen dalam upaya mitigasi bencana banjir di Sungai Bomo. Tahapan penelitian melalui proses rancang bangun alat ukur hidrometri berbasis sensor berupa sensor ultrasonic (water level), water flow, turbidity, TDS, dan suhu, lalu simulasi pengukuran, dan pengambilan sampel sedimen untuk diuji karakteristik fisik di laboratorium berupa uji konsentrasi sedimen, berat jenis, berat volume, analisa saringan dan hidrometer. Parameter hidrometri diuji statistik melalui sediment-discharge rating curve. Hasil pengujian karakteristik fisik sedimen sungai Bomo selama 7 hari masing-masing di bulan basah dan kering diperoleh nilai rata-rata Cu 3,88 – 6,58 dan nilai rata-rata Cc 0,62 – 1,19, berat jenis rata-rata 2,5 – 2,55 dan berat volume 1,49 – 1,57 gr/cm3. Kalibrasi pembacaan sensor TDS terhadap konsentrasi sedimen dengan nilai MAE rata-rata sebesar 0,23 reliable terhadap kondisi lapangan. Hasil sediment-discharge rating curve pada musim kering diperoleh persamaan Qs_dry=35.653.(Qw)^0.9315 (R2 = 0.8269). Pada musim basah diperoleh persamaan Qs_wet=16.501.(Qw )^1.3719  (R2= 0.9336). Pada saat musim kering perlu waspada karena lahan lebih erosif karena nilai a > 26 yaitu 35.653 yang mengindikasikan laju erosi tinggi dan dapat menyebabkan banjir dan longsor. Alat ukur hidrometri berbasis sensor layak dikembangkan sebagai alat deteksi konsentrasi sedimen sebagai indikator muatan sedimen dalam upaya mitigasi bencana banjir dan tindakan konservasi lahan.

Safeguarding Nigeria: strategies for combating insurgency and terrorism
Authors: Awotayo O. O. , Yusuf N. O. , Adedayo S. O.
Published: January 2025

The paper appraises the strategic responses by Nigeria’s government to the intractable difficulties posed by insurgency, banditry, and terrorism experienced largely in its northern parts, identifying key initiatives such as the establishment of the 7th Division of the Nigerian Army, among other international and local collaborations and initiatives like the Civilian Joint Task Force. Another contentious issue is the vote of support by the National Assembly for a proposal to engage mercenaries in defence, reflecting the ongoing debate over security measures. The methodological approach of the paper is qualitative, with thematic analysis of data from secondary sources such as newspapers, books, and academic journals. The findings indicate that Nigeria’s security strategy is largely reactive, failing to address the fundamental root causes of violence, which are socio-economic disparities, political marginalisation, and historical grievances. The limitations of ad hoc security policies are evident; they tend to favour short-term solutions over long-term stability. Notably, it is such options for employing mercenaries that have been strongly challenged, especially regarding the implications of the alternatives on national sovereignty and in adequately addressing the root causes of such a challenge. In the absence of such a policy intervening into the root causes, which this study strongly calls for, inclusive national dialogue among and between the diverse ethnic groupings should be pursued. This could resolve not only the ethno-religious tensions that breed but also the systemic marginalisation of Nigeria’s diverse ethnic groups. The paper concludes by emphasising that what is needed is a coherent strategy beyond immediate security responses, which would integrate socio-economic development with good governance. It warns that unless these foundational issues are resolved, even if terrorism is resolved, the cycle of violence and the threat of separatist agitations will probably continue. A holistic approach toward national security is imperative for long-term peace and stability in Nigeria.
International legal framework for the regulation of judicial immunity
Authors: Demchenko S. O.
Published: January 2025

The article analyses the phenomenon of judicial indemnity through the prism of international legal regulation developed in Western Europe in recent decades. Based on the analysis of Ukrainian and European law, it has been concluded that the doctrine of limited judicial indemnity is currently dominant, which balances public interests and serves the freedom of expression and strengthening of the principles of independence in the structure of the legal status of a judge. It is demonstrated that the international legal regulation of judicial indemnity contributes to the institutional strengthening of the judiciary, enhancement of its authority in society, and awareness of the high mission of judges in establishing the rule of law, preventing and counteracting any manifestations of aggression against the judiciary which not only threaten its independence but also often deprive judges of the opportunity to legally express their opinions in public. Judicial indemnity is considered in the context of the concept of subjective human rights as a derivative of the fundamental right to freedom of expression. This indemnity belongs to professional judges in accordance with the concept of good faith. It is established that a judge's freedom of expression is possible both in his/her judicial and extrajudicial activities, which should be clearly reflected in the amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On the Judiciary and the Status of Judges”. The state guarantees judges protection from prosecution for their statements both in and out of court. In the Ukrainian context, the content and system of such guarantees require both regulatory and institutional strengthening. The scope of judicial indemnity protection varies depending on the legislation, rules of judicial ethics, specifics of the judicial system, authority of the judiciary, case law and legal traditions. Moreover, there are some peculiarities of the ‘cooling effect’ concept in the field of judicial indemnity. Finally, the author concludes that the key elements of the European Court of Human Rights case law relating to the essence of judicial indemnity and its limits should be adapted and integrated into the Ukrainian judicial system, given their importance for the development of the relevant doctrine.
The obligation of “saksama” in article 16 of the Law on notary positions: a perspective on the principle of diligence in partij deed
Authors: Dinar H. L. , Sulistyarini R. , Jauharoh A.
Published: January 2025

This study analyzes the implementation of the principle of “due care” as stipulated in Article 16 of Law No. 2 of 2014 concerning the Position of Notary. This principle requires notaries to act with high levels of diligence, honesty, and integrity in carrying out their duties. The objective of this research is to explore the normative, substantive, and practical meanings of the principle of “due care” and to identify challenges in its implementation. Employing normative legal research methods, this study integrates a statutory approach to understand the normative framework of the regulation and a hermeneutic approach to interpret the social context and legislative intent. The analysis technique used is content analysis of legal documents, academic literature, and relevant court decisions.The findings reveal that the implementation of the principle of “due care” faces challenges such as the lack of operational definition, limited technical competence of notaries, and weaknesses in supervisory mechanisms. These issues can lead to varying interpretations and risks of violations by notaries. This study recommends regulatory reforms to clarify the legal boundaries of the “due care” principle, the development of continuous training to enhance notary competence, and the strengthening of technology-based supervision and periodic audits.In conclusion, reforms in regulation, education, and supervision are necessary to ensure the consistent application of the principle of “due care”. This research provides practical and theoretical contributions by offering strategic steps to strengthen the integrity of the notary profession and increase public trust in Indonesia’s legal system.
Improving the combat capability of small police tactical groups
Authors: Vlasenko I. V. , Lykhyi I. P. , Slatin Ya. O.
Published: January 2025

The article analyses the methods of enhancing the combat capability of small police tactical groups, in particular, with regard to their participation in hostilities during martial law in Ukraine. The main attention is paid to the importance of the optimal location of the commander in a small tactical group, which ensures the efficiency of performance of service and combat tasks, prompt decision-making, mobility and security of the group.
The paper uses a scientific approach to improving the combat capability and tactics of small tactical groups. The following methods are used in the article: analysis, analysis of primary sources, comparative analysis, statistical and mathematical analysis, survey, expert survey, optimisation and approximation, graphical method of formations and method of optimisation of the commander’s location in a small tactical group, and method of experimental research.
Different types of combat formations are studied, in particular, such as line, column, wedge, rhombus, star, snake and others, which are basic tactical elements. For each type of formation, experiments were conducted to determine the optimal location of the commander. In particular, the speed of command transmission and the risks of information loss depending on the commander’s position and the distance between the soldiers were analysed. It is established that the most optimal location of the commander is in the centre of the formation, as this ensures fast communication and minimises the risk of losses during an attack.
The criterion-based approach is proposed, which includes quantitative, spatial and tactical criteria for choosing the commander’s location. The main criteria include the commander’s personal safety, efficiency of command transfer, reduction of command transformations, and minimisation of movements during re-arrangements. The empirical results confirm the importance of a comprehensive consideration of these factors to increase the combat capability of a small tactical group.
The practical significance of the study lies in its possible use in the training system of the National Police of Ukraine, which will help to ensure the smooth performance of service and combat tasks and reduce personnel losses. Based on the results obtained, recommendations aimed at optimising the location of the commander in different types of combat formations have been developed.
Perspectives of stakeholders on youth with intellectual disabilities transitioning to adulthood
Authors: Goh Ailsa Ee Ping , Wong Meng Ee , Tan Carol Soo Ching
Published: January 2025

Transition is difficult for everyone, but it is particularly challenging for youth with disabilities and their families. When these youth transition out of school to post school environments, they will move from a structured environment with clear daily routines, with school personnel who are tasked to teach and support them, to environments where ongoing support and services are not readily available. Some of these youth with disabilities enter work environments that can be impersonal and most of them are unprepared for the level of independence that is required of them (Sitlington, Frank, & Carson, 1992). Many of them will find difficulty forming social networks as an adult and feel isolated in the community (Amado, Stancliffe, McCarron, & McCallion, 2013). Many youth with disabilities leave school with no employment in the near future (Nord, Luecking, Mank, Kiernan, & Wray, 2013) and to further complicate matters, there may be limited places at alternative day activity centres for them (Enabling Masterplan, 2012). These group of youth with disabilities may be inactive, socially isolated, and will continue to rely on family for any social and community interaction (Lichtenstein & Michaelides, 1993; Ow & Lang, 2000).
Infusion, dissemination and evolution: Seeding an innovation from one school to a few schools
Authors: Looi Chee-Kit , Wu Longkai , Ye Xiaoxuan
Published: January 2025

The challenge of how to diffuse and scale-up effective educational innovations has received increasing attention in recent years. Researchers spent efforts developing educational innovation and proving its efficacy and effectiveness in pilot studies in small scale, but when the innovation is put into practice and especially when the context of use is broadened, the designed principles of the innovation need to be refined iteratively to work well through a process of design-based implementation research. Scaling up successful educational innovation not only draws interests from the researchers, but also education policy makers and practitioners, as they all aim to create deep and sustainable changes in the processes of teaching and learning. One of the most cited literature on scaling is that of Coburn (2003) who defined scale as encompassing four interrelated dimensions: depth, sustainability, spread and shift in reform ownership, and Clarke and Dede (2009) added in a fifth dimension of evolution of an innovation in this framework to understand and analyse the process of scaling-up.
Re-designing NIE’s research project data use and management: Building research resources, enhancing research ethics and improving research practices
Authors: Silver Rita , Kwek Dennis Beng Kiat , Kogut Galyna
Published: January 2025

It is a truism of educational research that almost all data are seriously under-analysed; unless data collection is tightly designed to test a specific hypothesis, the original researcher will explore only a fraction of its potential (Corti, 2000). To attempt to extend the utility of research data, an increasing number of researchers and research institutes are encouraging the archiving and sharing of research data (Backhouse, 2002; Corti, 2000; Corti et al., 1995; UK Data Archive, 2013; Parry & Mauthner, 2004; Qualidata, 2013; SIDOS, 2013; Thompson, 2003). Subsequently, data are now increasingly available to local and international research communities (Ryssevik & Musgrave, 2001) fueled by the need to collaborate and share resources enabled by technological advances. In the USA, UK and Europe, secondary analysis data archives (SADAs) are increasingly becoming a reality with researchers encouraged to locate, access and analyse data from archives worldwide, utilising a range of documentation initiatives, software systems and tools. In Singapore, the International Research Review Panel has recommended in November 2015 that the Office of Education Research (OER) consider developing a data management strategy to facilitate data exploitation beyond project lifespans. What seems clear is that data sharing and data reuse is becoming a global research priority.
Technology-based tools for teaching early literacy skills
Authors: O'Brien Beth A. , Tan Chee Soon , Onnis Luca
Published: January 2025

This project focuses on improving literacy development for young learners who are struggling with learning to read English by investigating the process of learning grapheme-phoneme correspondences (GPCs). Learning GPC is foundational to learning to read alphabetic languages, and is a core problem for struggling readers. In this project, two methods are used in two studies to understand the process of learning English GPCs as the crux of acquiring literacy. First, a machine learning neural network modelling approach is used to study the effect of sound-symbol grain size and consistency and training input on learning progression and outcomes. Second, a behavioural randomized controlled study is conducted to examine the effects of interventions with LSP students focused at different grain sizes. Between these two studies, information about the types of input that may yield most effective learning is corroborated.

Світові тенденції розвитку садівництва свідчать про поступове збільшення виробництва плодово-ягідної продукції за рахунок не лише розширенню площ, а й зростанню урожайності плодів та ягід. Це стало можливим завдяки запровадження нових технологій виробництва, основою яких є інтенсивні типи плодових насаджень та використання високопродуктивних сортів. Враховуючи посилення конкуренції в умовах відкритості ринку, пов’язаної асоціацією Європейського Союзу та Україною, без додаткових заходів з боку держави має великий ризик втратити плодово-ягідну галузь і поставити її у повну залежність від імпорту. Метою дослідження є визначення основних аспектів формування комплексу маркетингу на ринку плодів та ягід взявши за приклад підприємства по вирощуванню плодово-ягідних культур з врахуванням факторів мікросередовища. Об’єктом дослідження виступає процес формування комплексу маркетингу на ринку плодів та ягід. Визначення зовнішнього ближнього середовища, а саме мікросередовища, насамперед, потрібно виявляти як виробниче підприємство, яке є економічною одиницею, покликане переробляти ресурси, що надходять йому за плату з навколишнього середовища, створювати нові продукти (послуги) і реалізовувати їх зацікавленим суб'єктам ринку.

Weather and landscape morphology drive thermal regime variation among Mývatn ponds, and implications for resident Arctic charr
Authors: Haines Grant , Phillips Joseph , Kristjansson Bjarni , Leblanc Camille
Published: January 2025

Thermal stratification is common in lentic freshwater systems, and has extensive effects on ecosystem function and the interactions between aquatic organisms and their surroundings. Although thermal regimes in temperate systems are well-characterized, small arctic and subarctic lakes and ponds can have irregular thermal regimes, and the conditions leading to stratification and mixing are less predictable. Nevertheless, they can be important habitats for northern fish species, and their ecological processes, including thermal stratification and dissolved oxygen dynamics, may determine whether they can support fish populations. Where such populations do persist, temperature and dissolved oxygen determine where and when fish are active, including foraging and spawning behavior, and consequently may shape trajectories of local adaptation. We studied differences in thermal stratification regimes in two adjacent ponds in a unique cave pond system in Iceland, where conditions shaped by thermal stratification may be acting as selective agents for phenotypic divergence of Arctic char. In particular, we characterize differences in thermal stratification regimes in relation to the orientation of cave openings and the highly irregular catchment topography, describe the association of the thermal regimes with dissolved oxygen dynamics, and describe potential consequences for the ponds’ resident charr populations

Tourism and the hospitality industry that organically joins it are of decisive economic importance worldwide, about 10% of the Hungarian working population works in this sector. The aim of our research is to present the structure of the organizations in the sector, focusing on the different perspectives of managers and subordinates in relation to decision-making, responsibility issues, subordination relations and sustainability. Decision making during operation is important for the successful operation of organizations, so it is necessary for managers to understand the factors that influence the decisions of their subordinates. Although decision-making is always the responsibility of the leader, in an ever-changing, evolving sector that requires quick response is a decisive success factor. Data was collected by conducting in-depth interviews on site in the summer of 2024, during which we interviewed the manager of the catering establishments separately and an employee of our choice.
Kontestasi Budaya Dan Respons Negara terhadap Penerimaan LGBT: Perbandingan Antara Indonesia Dan Model Inklusivitas Di Eropa
Authors: Hatmini Sritami Santi , Nugroho Agung Yudhistira
Published: January 2025

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dinamika penerimaan komunitas LGBT di Indonesia dalam perbandingan dengan model inklusivitas di beberapa negara Eropa, seperti Swedia dan Jerman. Menggunakan pendekatan teori konstruktivisme dan teori hak asasi manusia (HAM), penelitian ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana norma budaya, nilai-nilai agama, dan konstruksi sosial mempengaruhi persepsi masyarakat dan kebijakan negara terhadap hak-hak LGBT. Teori konstruktivisme digunakan untuk memahami bagaimana identitas budaya dan norma-norma sosial di Indonesia, yang kuat dipengaruhi oleh nilai-nilai keagamaan seperti Islam, membentuk sikap masyarakat dan kebijakan yang cenderung konservatif terhadap LGBT. Sebaliknya, negara-negara Eropa, yang lebih sekuler, mencerminkan konstruksi sosial yang berbeda, dengan norma-norma yang lebih terbuka dan mendukung inklusivitas. Teori HAM berfungsi sebagai kerangka untuk mengevaluasi perbedaan pendekatan kebijakan antara Indonesia dan Eropa terhadap hak-hak LGBT, terutama dalam penerapan prinsip-prinsip kesetaraan dan nondiskriminasi. Di Indonesia, terdapat ketegangan antara prinsip-prinsip HAM internasional dan norma-norma budaya lokal yang mengarah pada resistensi terhadap pengakuan hak-hak LGBT. Sementara itu, negara-negara Eropa cenderung mengadopsi standar HAM sebagai dasar kebijakan inklusif yang memberikan perlindungan hukum lebih kuat bagi komunitas LGBT. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan analisis data sekunder, seperti studi literatur, kebijakan pemerintah, laporan organisasi internasional, dan artikel jurnal ilmiah terkait. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konstruksi sosial dan identitas budaya di Indonesia berperan penting dalam membentuk kebijakan negara yang cenderung mempertahankan nilai-nilai tradisional, sedangkan model inklusivitas di negara-negara Eropa didorong oleh pengakuan terhadap hak-hak universal dan prinsip kesetaraan. Penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya pemahaman terhadap faktor-faktor budaya dan sosial dalam kebijakan publik terkait hak-hak LGBT, serta memberikan rekomendasi untuk membangun dialog yang lebih konstruktif antara norma lokal dan prinsip-prinsip HAM internasional dalam konteks Indonesia.

Authors: Shimi G A , Hossain M K , Islam R , Tasnova A R , Mondol M N , Chamon A S
Published: January 2025

Heavy metals like Cr, Cu, Pb, and Zn can induce public health risks through consumption over time. Gingers of both native and foreign origin were randomly collected from two large wet markets, Karwanbazar and Shyambazar, Dhaka, Bangladesh and were analyzed to determine the concentrations of heavy metals using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The data were used to assess various health risk indices. From the results, it is observed that the Pb concentration of almost all the ginger samples was higher than the MPL and consumption of such samples can be considered hazardous. But the concentration of Cu and Zn in all of the ginger samples was found to be lower than the MPL. The ADI of Cr, Cu, Pb, and Zn in native ginger samples were all below the PMDTI. Moreover, HI of half of the imported ginger samples was above unity and therefore injurious to human health when consumed.

Published: January 2025

The study explores therapeutic strategies for diabetes mellitus, focusing on improving therapeutic outcomes and patient compliance through the development and characterization of an immediate release formulation of dapagliflozin. Eight formulations were developed using a wet granulation process with several super-disintegrating agents and characterized by pre-compression parameters such as angle of repose (40.2 to 61.02), Hausner ratio (1.30 to 1.5), Carr’s index (23.5 to 33.3), physical attributes (weight (145–155 mg), thickness (4.42±0.04 to 4.46±0.05 mm), hardness (3.7–5.6 kg/cm2), friability (<1%)), and disintegration time. Furthermore, FT-IR, SEM, and TGA were conducted, which revealed no plausible drug-excipient interaction. In-vitro dissolution studies were conducted and the release profile was determined as F1 (80.50±5.2) > F3 (75.97±1.4) > F2 (75.30±3.3) > F5 (74.14±2.3) > F8 (70.13±3.7) > F7 (68.12±4.1) > F6 (66.45±3.1) > F4 (54.74±1.3) > pure drug (38.14±2.1) within 30 minutes, while the F1 formulation complied with the USP requirements for immediate release formulation. Additionally, the F1 formulation's drug release profile significantly outperformed commercially available options, indicating its potential to enhance glycemic control and patient adherence in T2DM management, as per the findings.

Integrated effects of cow dung, poultry manure and soil mixing on the growth and nutrient content of red amaranth
Authors: Soliaman S B , Hossain M B , Mandal R , Khan H R
Published: January 2025

A pot experiment was conducted to study the impacts of two types of organic manure on the growth parameters and status of nutrients of red amaranths raised in the manipulated soils obtained by mixing acid and calcareous soils at 3:1 ratio. The experiment was carried out using control, cow dung (3, 6 and 9 t/ha) and poultry manure (2, 4 and 6 t/ha). The results showed that the best plant growth occurred in the manipulated soil (control) than individual calcareous and acid soils. The maximum plant height, fresh weight, N, K and P content of plants were found in case of the medium dose of poultry manure T5 (4 t/ha) while the highest rate of cow dung, T3 (9 t/ha) produced the highest dry weight, N, Ca, Cu, Fe, Mn contents of red amaranth among all organic treatments. The observations of this study revealed that soil manipulation obtained by mixing two problem soils (calcareous and acid soil) could be a viable amelioration procedure, while the application of animal manures could boost soil health suggesting that the process of reclamation and application of organic manures acted synergistically.

Traditional medicine has utilized Phyllanthus niruri L. (Vhui-amla), a plant belonging to the Euphorbiaceae family, for treating a large number of diseases worldwide. In this study, the whole plant extract was subjected to antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diarrheal assays. In the disc diffusion assay, the ethyl acetate fraction (400 μg/disc) and the chloroform fraction (400 μg/disc) produced broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. Both fractions produced the highest antimicrobial potency (zone of inhibition = 25 mm) against Staphylococcus paratyphi. The chloroform fraction in the DPPH scavenging activity assay exhibited strong antioxidant efficacy with an IC50 value of 22.01 μg/mL, whereas the IC50 value of the standard ascorbic acid was 6.39 μg/mL. The ethyl acetate fraction at 400 mg/kg dose exhibited potent anti-inflammatory properties in the carrageenan-induced hind paw edema method, with 30.97% (p < 0.01), 36.55% (p < 0.01), 44.78% (p < 0.001), and 53.45% (p < 0.001) paw edema inhibition after 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours, respectively. A notable anti-diarrheal effect was also produced by the ethyl acetate fraction at a dose of 400 mg/kg, which caused 40.68% (p < 0.01) fecal inhibitory effects in the castor oil-induced diarrhea method (standard loperamide showed 61.02% (p < 0.001) fecal inhibitory results). P. niruri has been found to be a potential reservoir of antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diarrheal substances that necessitate its further phytochemical screening.

Olfactory and electrophysiological response of cucumber moth Diaphania indica (Saunders)n(Lepidoptera, Crambidae) to different plants
Authors: Gopakumar Geethu , Vijayasree V.
Published: January 2025

The behavioural response of adults and larvae of cucumber moth, Diaphania indica (Saunders) (Lepidoptera, Crambidae), a serious pest of cucurbitaceous crops was evaluated on different cucurbitaceous and non-cucurbitaceous plants through olfactometer bioassay. The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in these plants were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Further, electrophysiological response of D. indica to plant extracts and synthetic volatiles were recorded by electroantennographic detection. Larvae had the highest olfactory response to wild coccinia followed by bitter gourd, coccinia and cucumber. In GC-MS analysis, á-linolenic acid, palmitic acid and dotriacontane were identified as common components in leaf extracts, whereas, benzaldehyde was the major component in headspace of dried leaves. The antennae of gravid female moths were more sensitive to plant odours than unmated females and males. Gravid females showed highest response to extracts of bitter gourd and unmated females to cucumber extract. A synthetic volatile mixture of 10?L of benzaldehyde and 30?L of benzyl alcohol were found responsible for high antennal response. Significant orientation and landing response were shown by D. indica moths to a mixture of 10?L benzaldehyde (10%) and 20?L benzyl alcohol (10%). These findings suggest the above blend could be employed for the development of plant volatile based management strategies.

Os institutos federais ofertam a educação superior, básica e profissional e pesquisa aplicada, tendo como foco responder a demandas sociais ou institucionais, mediante soluções técnicas e/ou tecnológicas. Durante o período de 2014-2020, os servidores técnico-administrativos em educação (TAEs) do Instituto Federal da Paraíba foram impedidos de participar de pesquisas institucionais, o que nos despertou o interesse em realizar este estudo, que teve por objetivo analisar as contribuições dos servidores técnico-administrativos nas pesquisas institucionais no âmbito no IFPB Campus João Pessoa, no período mencionado. A pesquisa seguiu uma abordagem qualitativa de caráter exploratório. Após levantamento bibliográfico e análise de dados encontrados no site do IFPB e na plataforma Lattes, aplicamos um questionário para este grupo de TAEs, identificando o perfil desses servidores, as contribuições, o tipo de participação, e as dificuldades encontradas para o seu desenvolvimento. Este estudo evidenciou que há pesquisadores TAEs disponíveis e interessados em atuar no âmbito das pesquisas institucionais e que ainda não são reconhecidos pela Instituição, percebendo-se como servidores invisibilizados e desvalorizados no desenvolvimento de suas atividades, inclusive na pesquisa, reduzindo a sua importância e o seu potencial de contribuição para a Instituição.

Abstract
Federal institutes offer higher, basic, and professional education, as well as applied research, focusing on addressing social or institutional demands through technical and/or technological solutions. During the period from 2014 to 2020, the administrative technical staff in education (TAEs) at the Federal Institute of Paraíba (IFPB) were barred from participating in institutional research, prompting our interest in conducting this study. The objective was to analyze the contributions of technical-administrative staff to institutional research at the IFPB Campus João Pessoa during this period. The study followed a qualitative exploratory approach. After conducting a bibliographic review and analyzing data found on the IFPB website and the Lattes platform, we administered a questionnaire to this group of TAEs, identifying their profiles, contributions, types of participation, and the difficulties they encountered in their development. This study revealed that there are available and interested TAEs who are not yet recognized by the Institution, perceiving themselves as invisible and undervalued in their activities, including research, thereby reducing their importance and potential contribution to the Institution.

Authors: Novianti Putri Ade , Hikmawan Rizki , Fajrussalam Hisny
Published: January 2025

This research aims to enhance elementary school students’ comprehension of digital ethics by employing Monopoly as the medium for Educational Game Tools (APE). This study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design featuring a one-group pre-test and post-test, with the sample selected through purposive sampling. The instrument design involved creating assessment tools validated by six experts. The learning media included 30 questions on digital ethics comprehension, with validity assessed using the content validity ratio (CVR). To test the hypothesis, a Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test was applied to compare the pre-test and post-test scores. Pre-test and post-test instruments were adapted from the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology’s “Status of Digital Literacy in Indonesia 2020,” focusing on communication skills and technology ethics. The results revealed that initial assessments indicated a low understanding of digital ethics among students, with 18 out of 39 needing to demonstrate mastery before the APE implementation. However, post-implementation evaluations showed that only one student did not achieve mastery, with significant overall improvement and heightened enthusiasm for learning, highlighting the APE’s effectiveness. The study suggests that incorporating educational game tools (APE) into learning methods can significantly enhance students’ understanding of digital ethics.

Implementation of Vygotsky's Theory of Social Constructivism in Learning Pancasila Education in Elementary Schools As Strengthening Cooperation Attitudes
Authors: Dewi Ressi Kartika , Yusuf Munawir , Subagya Subagya
Published: January 2025

This study aims to reveal the implementation of Vygotsky's theory of social constructivism in learning Pancasila education to strengthen students' cooperative attitudes. This study used a phenomenological method with a qualitative approach. The subjects in this study were teachers who teach Pancasila education subjects and grade III students at Gondangmanis State Elementary School, Karanganyar Regency, Central Java Province. The data collection technique was carried out by observation and interviews, which were then checked for validity of the data using triangulation techniques and sources, the data analysis used was interactive analysis. The results of the study showed that the theory of social constructivism was relevant to strengthening the attitude of cooperation in Gondangmanis State Elementary School in the learning of Pancasila Education. Gondangmanis State Elementary School still tends to be selective in choosing their group mates, but after the teacher implements Vygotsky's theory of social constructivism through Pancasila Education learning, students easily blend in with each side regardless of differences. It can happen because teachers divide groups randomly regardless of the differences in students' backgrounds after being divided, students are required to cooperate in the group to complete the tasks given by the teacher. Through this process, the attitude of cooperation of students can be built well because they are used to working with each student regardless of differences in background, both differences in religion, ethnicity, and area of residence.
