Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Profiles and Their Associations With Regulatory Focus, Resilience, and Friendship Quality in University Students From New Zealand (Aotearoa) and Hawai'i, USA
Authors:   , Soo Hoo Carrie
Published: August 2023

This research identified unique configurations (i.e., profiles) of basic psychological need satisfaction and frustration (i.e., autonomy satisfaction, autonomy frustration, competence satisfaction, competence frustration, relatedness satisfaction, and relatedness frustration) in a sample of 771 undergraduate students attending universities from two locations in the Pacific region - New Zealand (Aotearoa) (N = 385) and Hawaiʻi, USA (N = 386). Seven profiles were identified in both study locations using latent profile analysis. Similarities and differences among these profiles were then examined in regard to regulatory focus orientation (i.e., eagerness, vigilance), resilience, and friendship quality factors. Findings indicate that profiles characterized by high satisfaction and low frustration for all needs were the most adaptive in terms of eagerness, resilience, and friendship quality. Profiles characterized by low satisfaction and high frustration for all needs were the least adaptive in terms of all factors. In addition, the results indicate that eagerness and resilience may have stronger associations with autonomy and competence than relatedness. In contrast, friendship quality may have a stronger association with relatedness than with autonomy and competence. This research is important as it provides a detailed account of the interrelationships among facets of need satisfaction and frustration and is the first to identify need profiles in two countries within the same study. These findings provide valuable insights into the motivational underpinnings of individual differences in eagerness, resilience, and friendship quality.

Authors: AlKhaza’leh Mohammad Salman , Obeidat Bilal F. , Abdel-Hadi Samer , Al-Qaruty Reema
Published: August 2023

The study aimed to assess the relationship between a safe learning environment in Emirati schools and the development of student's creative thinking. Using a descriptive method with stratified random sampling, the researchers selected a sample of 500 male and female teachers. Two questionnaires were employed: one assessing the safe learning environment (20 items) and another measuring creative thinking (20 items). Results indicated a high teacher perception of a safe learning environment, with statistically significant chi-square values for all items. Similarly, teachers perceived a high level of creative thinking development, with significant chi-square values for all items. Gender and experience did not show statistically significant differences in the perception of a safe learning environment. However, teachers with over 10 years of experience demonstrated higher levels of creative thinking development. Notably, a significant correlation was found between a safe learning environment and the development of students' creative thinking in Emirati schools. This study aligns with the UAE Ministry of Education's mission to create a safe and creative educational system that meets the needs of a globally competitive knowledge society. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-SIED2-014 Full Text: PDF

Numerical Behavior of Extended End-Plate Bolted Connection under Monotonic Loading
Authors: Gjukaj Anita , Salihu Fidan , Muriqi Ali , Cvetanovski Petar
Published: August 2023

Extended end-plate connections, which act as joints providing resistance against moments between beams and columns, are commonly categorized as semi-rigid or partial-strength connections. The reason for their extensive application in steel frame constructions lies in their straightforward design, their ability to be reproduced easily, and the convenience they offer in the fabrication process. This research used the ABAQUS FE software to construct a three-dimensional finite element model (FEM) with the main objective of exploring how different geometric parameters impact the behavior of the extended end-plate bolted connection, which functions as a semi-rigid, partial-strength beam-to-column connection. Accurately determining the moment-rotation relationship and connection stiffness is of utmost importance for semi-rigid connections. The developed FEM models incorporate various factors such as geometric and material non-linearities, bolt pretension force, as well as contact and sliding between the connection elements. To establish the credibility of the numerical outcomes, the developed FEM model was meticulously calibrated and verified against experimental data obtained from previous studies available in the literature. Subsequently, using the validated finite element model, a parametric investigation was undertaken to evaluate the influence of distinct geometric parameters, namely the thickness of the end plate and column web stiffeners. This numerical model facilitates a comprehensive analysis of the extended end-plate bolted connection, encompassing critical aspects such as the moment-rotation curve and failure mode. The results demonstrated that the analyzed finite element model aligns well with experimental findings and that the use of column stiffeners is inevitable in the joint, as well as a moderated thickness of the end plate. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2023-04-02-04 Full Text: PDF
El Subsidio al empleo en México como herramienta para frenar la inflación
Authors: Salas Chávez Rocío
Published: August 2023

Ante los niveles elevados de inflación que experimenta nuestro país, es necesaria la búsqueda de mecanismos que permitan a los trabajadores que perciben un ingreso mensual equivalente al salario mínimo, la satisfacción de sus necesidades básicas. La propuesta de esta investigación de tipo documental descriptiva, sugiere actualizar  el esquema conocido como subsidio al empleo, ya que la tabla utilizada en el cálculo para la obtención de la cantidad a entregar al trabajador no ha tenido la debida actualización contenida en la ley contemplada en el caso de que la inflación alcance los dos dígitos,  por lo que, el subsidio al empleo en México, podría resultar obsoleto en un futuro cercano, en el caso de seguir incrementándose el salario mínimo en los niveles que ha experimentado en los últimos años, lo cual significaría la pérdida de un doble beneficio, en el caso de los trabajadores, reciben mayores ingresos incrementando su poder adquisitivo, y al provenir el ingreso de un subsidio, no se considera como un incremento a su ingreso salarial, lo que generaría un mayor pago de contribuciones. En el caso de los empresarios, las cantidades que, en su carácter de patrones, entregan a sus trabajadores por la aplicación del subsidio, se reducen de sus pagos periódicos de impuesto sobre la renta, derivando en un manejo más eficiente de sus finanzas.

Published: August 2023

In this research, the diffusion coefficient of phosphate ions in agarose-citric acid diffusive gel has been studied. The agarose-citric acid diffusion layer was prepared by mixing 1.5% agarose solution with the addition of citric acid solutions at various concentration. The diffusive gel was casted between two glass plates which were separated using a spacer of 0.1 cm thickness and clamped together in the three sides. Gel was formed for 15 minutes in an oven at 40oC. The diffusion coefficient then was calculated using Fick's First law formula. Gel that produced with addition of 0.45% citric acid absorbed more water during immersion in water for 3 hours for facilitating phosphate diffusion. Swelling degree of the agarose citric acid diffusive gels was not affected by the storing solution condition either in water or in NaNO3 0.1 M. Coefficient diffusion of phosphate in the agarose-citric acid diffusive gel was 1.009×10-7 cm2s-1, less than the diffusion in the pure agarose gel 1.367×10-7 cm2s-1. The diffusion is affected by the ionic strength of solution. Phosphate diffusion coefficient is higher in the phosphate solution with addition of 2 mgL-1 nitrate. Increasing the ionic strength causes lower phosphate diffusion coefficient because the electrostatic attractive and repulsive force

This research aims to know the roles of the elders as authority holders in the means of health communication for stunting prevention implemented in Trenggalek Regency, East Java. Stunting is the failure of growth and development caused by malnutrition at the first 1000 days of a child’s life. This problem can be prevented by providing nutrition needed by pregnant women and toddlers, but for preventing this the efforts of health communication are needed so that the mindset and behaviors of the society can change according to the health standards. Therefore, at Trenggalek Regency Kenek Beraksi program was implemented involving elders who may have authority to distribute knowledge and intervene behaviors which cause stunting to children. This research is qualitative research using case study method, by data gathering using in depth interview and document study. The result of this research shows that elders have significant roles in health communication for stunting prevention at Trenggalek Regency. Elders hold authorities because of the culture in society giving them privilege as respected and trusted figures. Furthermore, their knowledge and experience give them expert power and referent power making their family follow their guidance. In health communication, their health acts as a communicator delivering health messages. The effects felt from the elders’ involvement in this health communication program include the decrease of pregnant women having anemia, the increase of the toddlers’ nutritional adequacy achievement, and the increasing weights of toddlers, which altogether reduce the number of stunting at Trenggalek Regency

Initial conditions of plant anatomy practical learning at Wiralodra University indicate a lack of training in students' kinesthetic bodily intelligence. This is evident as students do not feel proficient in operating microscopes and determining microscope magnification, indicating a lack of trained kinesthetic bodily intelligence. Based on this issue, a digital microscope is needed to train students' kinesthetic bodily intelligence in plant anatomy practicals. The innovation of digital microscope technology is necessary as a supporting tool for plant anatomy practicals. The objective of this study is to develop an Online Microscope Viewer to enhance students' multiple intelligences in plant anatomy practicals. Considering the nature of the study as the development of an Online Microscope Viewer, the research design used is Research and Development. The study subjects consist of 185 second-semester biology education students from the Biology Education program at Wiralodra University, divided into five classes. The sampling method used is cluster random sampling, with two classes, Bio B (experimental group) and Bio D (control group), selected under the condition that the populations are homogeneous. The results indicate that the developed Online Microscope Viewer used in plant anatomy practicals is highly valid. The developed Online Microscope Viewer can significantly enhance students' kinesthetic bodily intelligence in plant anatomy practicals, categorized as high. There is a significant difference in the improvement of students' kinesthetic bodily intelligence between the class using the Online Microscope Viewer and the class using binocular light microscopes.

This research was conducted to determine the structure and depth of the reservoir using remote sensing as an initial survey to assess the geological alignment direction, employing ALOS PALSAR radar imagery. Subsequently, further surveys were conducted using the magnetotelluric and gravity methods to analyze the structure and depth of the geothermal reservoir. The magnetotelluric data were processed using Phoenix software, where the data was transformed from the time domain to the frequency domain using Fourier transformation, and processed to obtain apparent resistivity and phase. The MT data was integrated with gravity data, and the gravity data underwent standard correction procedures to obtain the Complete Bouguer Anomaly (CBA) map. Two-dimensional (2D) inversion using the NLCG algorithm and 2D forward modeling of the gravity data were performed. The dominant alignment pattern obtained was northwest-southeast, with an orientation of 320° NW or 140° SE. Based on the results of geological alignment, a profile is produced that is perpendicular to the straightness. The results from the 2D inversion and gravity forward modeling indicated that the geothermal reservoir is likely located beneath the caprock at an estimated depth of approximately 1800 m, with resistivity values ranging from 32 to 256 Ohm-m and a density value of 2.6 gr/cc.

Published: August 2023

Ausgehend von den Verheißungen einer P4-Medizin, die sich nicht nur als personalisiert und partizipativ, sondern auch als prädiktiv und präventiv versteht, wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit die Entwicklung der Medizin die beiden Konzepte der Prädiktion und der Prävention zunehmend verklammert und wie zwischen ihnen differenziert werden kann. Es werden verschiedene mögliche Verständnisse von Vorhersage und Vorbeugung in Verbindung mit Public-Health-Genomik und der potenziellen Ausweitung der Verantwortung des Einzelnen auf Kosten der öffentlichen Gesundheit untersucht, um die ethischen Konsequenzen einer zunehmenden praktischen Entdifferenzierung zu reflektieren.
