Authors: Arslanca Gamze , Aygün Mahmure
Published: August 2022

Resumen Objetivo: evaluar el efecto de la educación perfeccionada realizada por enfermeros en la preparación intestinal adecuada y en las tasas de intubación cecal. Método: estudio prospectivo, casi experimental y comparativo, con abordaje cuantitativo. El grupo de intervención (n=150) recibió la educación perfeccionada y llamadas telefónicas recordatorias. El grupo de control (n=156) recibió las instrucciones estándar de la clínica por escrito. Las tasas de preparación intestinal adecuadas y otros indicadores de la calidad de la colonoscopia fueron comparadas entre los grupos. Resultados: las puntuaciones obtenidas en la Boston Bowel Preparation Scale y las tasas de preparación intestinal adecuadas fueron en el grupo de intervención mayores que en el grupo de control (6,76±2,1 vs. 5,56±2,4, p=0,000, y 80% vs. 69,2%, p=0,031, respectivamente). Las tasas de intubación cecal fueron mayores en el grupo de intervención (80% vs. 67,3%, p=0,012). La tasa de intubación cecal fracasada debido a la preparación intestinal inadecuada fue de 0% en el GI, en cuanto que el GC obtuvo una tasa de 17,6%. Además de eso, las tasas de biopsia fueron mayores en el grupo de intervención (28% vs. 13,3%, p=0,002). Conclusión: la educación del paciente perfeccionada y realizada por enfermeros aumenta las tasas de preparación intestinal adecuadas y, consecuentemente, las tasas de intubación cecal. Para alcanzar los estándares de calidad de colonoscopia recomendados en las directrices, recomendamos que la educación del paciente sea apoyada por diferentes herramientas de entrenamiento y realizada por profesionales de la salud.

Abstract Objective: to analyze the caregiver’s contribution to self-care in heart failure and the predictor variables of this contribution. Method: a cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study, with the participation of 140 dyads (patients and caregivers). The contribution to self-care was assessed using the Caregiver Contribution to Self-Care of Heart Failure Index. Caregivers and patients were interviewed separately to obtain the data. Multiple linear regressions were used to verify predictor variables of caregiver contribution. Results: the mean score for contribution to maintenance self-care was 62.7 (SD=7.1), for management, 62.9 (SD=20.4) and for confidence was 63.3 (SD=22.1). The variables number of patient’s medications, caregiver being related to the patient, social perception of caregiver, health-related quality of life of the patient and caregiver’s confidence in contributing to self-care were predictors of caregiver’s contribution to maintenance or management self-care. Conclusion: the caregiver’s contribution was insufficient. The social support perceived by the caregiver, the type of relationship the caregiver to the patient, the number of medications used by the patient, as well as the caregiver’s confidence in contributing to self-care are variables that should be considered to assess the risk of insufficient contribution of the caregiver.

Resumo Objetivo: avaliar a efetividade das intervenções direcionadas à prevenção e redução da violência no trabalho sofrida por profissionais de saúde e apoio. Método: revisão sistemática com metanálise realizada em oito bases de dados e na literatura cinzenta. O risco de viés foi realizado por meio das ferramentas da Cochrane e a certeza da evidência pelo Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation. A análise foi realizada de forma descritiva e pela metanálise, incluindo avaliação da heterogeneidade. Resultados: 11 estudos aleatorizados e quasi-aleatorizados foram elegíveis, dos quais seis estudos (54,5%) implementaram habilidades individuais, quatro multiabordagem (36,4%) e um (9,1%) ações governamentais. Quatro estudos (36,4%) tiveram efeito positivo e significativo na redução da violência. O risco de viés foi classificado como alto ou incerto. A metanálise foi realizada com dois estudos que testaram habilidade individual (grupo intervenção) versus habilidade individual (grupo comparador), porém não houve evidência científica (IC 95%: -0,41 a 0,25, p=0,64) para o desfecho prevenção/redução da violência. Conclusão: esta revisão não obteve alta evidência na prevenção ou redução da violência no trabalho. O número reduzido de ensaios aleatorizados, a falta de estudos com baixo risco de viés e a alta consistência podem ter sido fatores dificultadores para recomendar intervenções efetivas.

Abstract Objective: to assess the effectiveness of the interventions targeted at preventing and reducing the workplace violence suffered by health and support professionals. Method: a systematic review with meta-analysis conducted in eight databases and in the gray literature. Risk of bias was assessed by means of the Cochrane tools and certainty of the evidence, through Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation. The analysis was performed in a descriptive manner and through the meta-analysis, including a heterogeneity assessment. Results: a total of 11 randomized and quasi-randomized studies were eligible, of which six (54.5%) implemented individual skills, four used a multiple approach (36.4%) and one (9.1%) resorted to governmental actions. Four studies (36.4%) exerted a positive and significant effect on reducing violence. Risk of bias was classified as high or uncertain. The meta-analysis was performed with two studies that tested individual skill (intervention group) versus individual skill (comparator group), although there was no scientific evidence (95% CI: -0.41 - 0.25, p=0.64) for the violence prevention/reduction outcome. Conclusion: this review did not obtain a high level of evidence in the prevention or reduction of workplace violence. The reduced number of randomized trials, the lack of studies with low risk of bias and the high consistency may have been factors that hindered recommending effective interventions.

Abstract Garlic (Allium sativum) is an important cash food crop, and the biotechnology industry has considerable interest in the plant because of its medicinal importance. These medicinal properties are attributed to organosulphur compounds as the accumulation of these compounds varies according to genotype, locality, light quality, and cultivation practices. In this study, we compared a newly developed garlic variety NARC-G1 by National Agricultural Research Centre (NARC), Islamabad, Pakistan with three different garlic cultivars and highlighted the distinctive attributes like phenotypic characteristics, the content of allicin, elemental profile, and gene polymorphism. Phenotypic analysis showed NARC-G1 has significantly higher bulb weight (66.36g ± 18.58), single clove weight (5.87g ± 1.041), and clove width (17.41mm ± 0.95) which directly correlates to the size of the garlic. The analytical analysis showed the highest allicin content (4.82 ± 0.001) in NARC-G1. Genotyping of the alliinase in all four cultivars showed indels in the gene resulting in distinguishable changes in organosulphur compounds’ profile. NARC-G1 is unique from other garlic cultivars and could be the best choice for mass production with proper cultivation and irrigation management. Moreover, for Pakistan NARC-G1 could be a potential contender to earn the industrial benefits with inland cultivation instead of importing garlic alleviating the economic burden.

Abstract The objective of the study was to evaluate the quality of Zamzam water, holy water for Muslims and consumed for its medicinal value. The present study demonstrates the physicochemical characterization and wound healing property of Zamzam water. The physicochemical characterization of Zamzam water samples was analyzed for dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids, redox potential, zeta potential, polydispersity index, and zeta size. The microbial quality of Zamzam water was also assessed by exposing water samples to open air. In this work, Zamzam water was also screened for the medicinal value through wound healing properties in Wistar rats. Zamzam water exhibited a unique physicochemical characterization with high levels of dissolved oxygen, zeta potential, polydispersity index, redox potential, total dissolved solids, and conductivity before exposure to open air. After open air exposure, Zamzam water resisted the growth of bacteria. The wound healing properties of Zamzam water in vivo showed a 96% of healing effect on 12th day observation. The wound healing was achieved by modulating pro-inflammatory cytokine such as interleukin -1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor -α (TNF-α). Followed by the level of apoptosis markers caspase-9 and caspase-3 were reduced. The present study proved that Zamzam water is a good-quality water and showed excellent wound healing property. Therefore, Zamzam water can be used for pharmaceutical formulations.

Encrucijadas del Modelo de Desarrollo de la Educación Chilena en el Primer Cuarto del Siglo XXI
Authors: Donoso-Díaz Sebastián
Published: August 2022

RESUMEN Avanzado el siglo XXI, Chile enfrenta el dilema de que su modelo político educacional debería consolidarse para enfrentar los principales problemas y desafíos de mediano plazo, que dicen relación directamente con generar un sistema de calidad para toda su población. Estos retos de proporciones conllevan un cambio sustancial del escenario ante decisiones estratégicas que impliquen una nueva realidad frente a lo realizado, toda vez que pareciera no podría continuarse por el camino ya trazado. Bajo el modelo de ciclos políticos se analizan los movimientos estudiantiles (2006 y 2011) que instalan en la agenda pública la importancia de avanzar en reformas, lo que dio lugar a cambios de magnitud, que una década después implicaron impulsar transformaciones para “sacar al mercado de la educación”, aunque los mecanismos instalados no aseguran ese objetivo. Estas tensiones derivan en las disyuntivas reinstaladas por el movimiento social de 2019, dando cuenta de un escenario complejo por las expectativas plenamente vigentes sobre la educación, y las necesidades insoslayables de un nuevo marco normativo y operacional para el sector, que reduzca las incertezas del actual escenario.
Optimized Deep Learning for the Classification of Parkinson's Disease Based on Voice Features
Authors: Sharanyaa S. , M Sambath , Renjith P. N.
Published: August 2022

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder. Hence, there is a tremendous demand for adapting vocal features to determine PD in an earlier stage. This paper devises a technique to diagnose PD using voice signals. Initially, the voice signals are considered an input. The signal is fed to pre-processing wherein the filtering is adapted to remove noise. Thereafter, feature extraction is done that includes fluctuation index, spectral flux, spectral centroid, Mel frequency Cepstral coefficient (MFCC), spectral spread, tonal power ratio, spectral kurtosis and the proposed Exponential delta-Amplitude modulation signal (delta-AMS). Here, exponential delta-amplitude modulation spectrogram (Exponential-delta AMS) is devised by combining delta-amplitude modulation spectrogram (delta-AMS) and exponential weighted moving average (EWMA). The feature selection is done considering the extracted features using the proposed squirrel search water algorithm (SSWA), which is devised by combining Squirrel search algorithm (SSA) and water cycle algorithm (WCA). The fitness is newly devised considering Canberra distance. Finally, selected features are fed to attention-based long short-term memory (attention-based LSTM) in order to identify the existence of PD. Here, the training of attention-based LSTM is performed with developed SSWA. The proposed SSWA-based attention-based LSTM offered enhanced performance with 92.5% accuracy, 95.4% sensitivity and 91.4% specificity.
Environmental impacts on expansion of concrete due to alkali–silica reaction
Authors: Kawabata Yuichiro , Yamada Kazuo , Kawakami Takashi , Sagawa Yasutaka
Published: August 2022

Environmental conditions critically affect the expansion behaviour of concrete due to alkali–silica reaction (ASR) and, therefore, must be modelled to predict ASR-induced expansion behaviour. In addition, laboratory tests are important for the provision of useful data for numerical models, since these models often require the calibration of some unknown parameters according to the materials tested. To address this, the authors have developed a testing method for concrete expansion, called the alkali-wrapped concrete prism test (AW-CPT). Predictions using the results of the AW-CPT would be beneficial for the assessment of potential expansion of concrete when exposed to the outdoor environment. In this study, the effects of environmental conditions on ASR-induced expansion behaviours are determined through exposure and laboratory tests. The environmental conditions are modelled and implemented in numerical simulations. The results indicate that solar insolation and rainfall are critical parameters for modelling the environmental conditions as well as ambient temperature and relative humidity.
Buccal corridor changes in orthodontically treated extraction and non-extraction Class 1 patients
Authors: Choma Ntwampe M , Madiba Thomas K , Sethusa Peter M
Published: August 2022

Patients seek orthodontic treatment mainly to improve their facial aesthetics and obtain an acceptable smile. It is purported that orthodontic extraction treatment may result in narrow buccal corridors which in turn may lead to unaesthetic smile. To determine if the dimensions of the buccal corridors are influenced by extraction or non-extraction treatment in Class 1 patients. Retrospective record-based study conducted between 2012 and 2017 at University of Pretoria Orthodontic department. Smile pictures of pre- and post-treatment Class 1 patients treated with or without premolar extractions were matched. Buccal corridors between the two groups were measured by measurement of visible maxillary dentition and oral aperture dimensions. Data analysis included frequencies and correlations using chi-square test, with a significance level set at p<0.05. Seventy-one patient records met the selection criteria with the majority being females (70%). The age range was between 10 and 37 with a mean of 17.5 years. Thirty-five patients were treated with extractions and thirty-six patients with non-extraction treatment. There was a significant difference in the visible maxillary dentition pre and post treatment with extraction patients showing a 6 to 6 and non-extraction showing 5 to 5 dentition post treatment (p<0.05). There were no differences in the ratios of the visible maxillary dentition and oral aperture in both groups pre and post treatment (p> 0.05). Orthodontic treatment of Class 1 cases with premolar extraction did not lead to deleterious changes in the buccal corridors.
Preparation of acute midbrain slices containing the superior colliculus and periaqueductal gray for patch-clamp recordings v6
Authors: Pavon Arocas Oriol
Published: August 2022

This protocol is a practical guide for preparing acute coronal slices from the midbrain of young adult mice for electrophysiology experiments. It describes two different sets of solutions with their respective incubation strategies and two alternative procedures for brain extraction: decapitation under terminal isoflurane anaesthesia and intracardial perfusion with artificial cerebrospinal fluid under terminal isoflurane anaesthesia. Slices can be prepared from wild-type mice as well as from mice that have been genetically modified or transfected with viral constructs to label subsets of cells. The preparation can be used to investigate the electrophysiological properties of midbrain neurons in combination with pharmacology, opto- and chemogenetic manipulations, and calcium imaging; which can be followed by morphological reconstruction, immunohistochemistry, or single-cell transcriptomics. The protocol also provides a detailed list of materials and reagents including the design for a low-cost and easy to assemble 3D printed slice recovery chamber, general advice for troubleshooting common issues leading to suboptimal slice quality, and some suggestions to ensure good maintenance of a patch-clamp rig.
Framing Climate Policy Ambition in the European Parliament
Authors: Kinski Lucy , Ripoll Servent Ariadna
Published: August 2022

The European Union’s climate policy is considered quite ambitious. This has led to a growing interest among political scientists investigating the European Parliament’s ability to negotiate such ambitious climate legislation. These studies generally focus on the voting behaviour of members of the European Parliament, which allows us to know more about their positions when it comes to accepting or rejecting legislative acts. However, we know surprisingly little about how they debate and justify their positions in Parliament. In these debates, members of the European Parliament not only identify the problem (i.e., climate change and its adverse effects) but also discuss potential solutions (i.e., their willingness or ambition to fight and adapt to climate change). In addition, plenary debates are ideal for making representative claims based on citizens’ interests on climate action. Therefore, this article aims to understand how climate policy ambitions are debated in the European Parliament and whose interests are represented. We propose a new manual coding scheme for climate policy ambitions in parliamentary debate and employ it in climate policy debates in the ninth European Parliament (2019–present). In doing so, this article makes a methodological contribution to operationalising climate policy ambition from a parliamentary representation and legitimation perspective. We find debating patterns that connect quite detailed ambitions with clear representative claims and justifications. There is more agreement on what to do than how to get there, with divides emerging based on party, ideological, and member-state characteristics.

The article presents the authors' methodology for the study of Chinese Marxism and its ideological and philosophical principles, as well as the potential impact of this direction on the humanitarian development of modern Ukrainian society. The authors substantiated the integral methodological task, which consists of the implementation of a comparative typological analysis of the philosophical foundations of Sinicized Marxism with modern European Marxist philosophical schools and "Soviet" Marxism. The article confirms that a more effective approach in the study of the socio-cultural implications of modern Sinicized Marxism is (1) the study of the process of "Sinicization" of Marxism; (2) study and evaluation of existing and potential strategies for the implementation of Sinicized Marxism in the practices of intercultural communication (One Belt, One Road Initiative) and the education system; (3) analysis of the philosophical and ideological content and practical goals of the humanitarian part of China's international One Belt, One Road Initiative, development of a methodology for assessing the benefits and risks of its implementation for European countries and Ukraine.
PERFORMATIVITY OF ACTIONS: POSSIBLE MAPPINGS WITH JENNIFER HORNSBY'S VIEWS ON ACTING, ACTIONS, ACTIVITY AND AGENCY
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Laktionova Anna
Published: August 2022

The article is devoted to outlining crucial aspects of defended approach to actions and agency in comparative with primarily J. Hornsby's views. The proposed approach is continuation of developed in the defended by the author candidate (PhD) and doctoral dissertations ideas. J. Hornsby is an outstanding classical philosopher of nowadays, her legacy is connected primarily with analytic tradition; and within it with philosophy of action and agency, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, metaphysics, epistemology. Particularities of and relations between such important, but remaining to be vague notions as actions, events, facts, norms, values, evaluations were clarified (using the method of tables). These tasks disclosed ontological (metaphysical) modes actual for both philosophy of action and agency from one side and ontology (metaphysics) – from another. Ontology of action involves metaphysical processing (performing of action) and metaphysical results (achievements by action). The mentioned seem in accordance with J. Hornsby's views. Standard treatments of actions and agency were critically mentioned. The critics against them is due to missing or rather losing in and by them the need of the notion of an agent; because it is intention that causes an action. In the defended approach, as well as in J. Hornsby's theory, the role of an agent has priority. But the most interesting notion from her findings is proved to be trying or attempt to act. It was diversely described, used and shown promising. When successful trying to action coincides with this action. Trying to action is a reason for action. Trying to action does not represent, but present an action. Thus, justification of an action is directly within the action; because action performatively shows itself. Actions performatively validate correspondent events, facts, norms, values, evaluations.

Unexpectedly, teachers and parents have been forced to adapt to digital learning technology for children’s education. This study aimed to explore the anxiety and dilemmas faced by teachers and parents in using game-based digital learning. The researcher argues that their role as educators and facilitators in digital learning and playing activity is critical. It is essential to understand how they view, deal with, and experience game-based learning before developing an educational game. A gap was found in the existing studies about teachers’ and parents’ perspectives of game-based learning. Two questionnaires were developed separately for teachers and parents of primary school children in East Java, Indonesia. The results provided information about the teachers’ and parents’ concerns about digital learning, including their frustrations and motivations.

The Efforts of Modern Painters to Avoid Monotony and Repetitiveness in Their Personal Style Artworks
Authors: Widodo Triyono
Published: August 2022

In modern art painting, a personal style is required to represent the artists through their artworks. To have distinctive artworks, there must be a consistent repetition in the specific aspects of the different paintings by the same artist. Yet at a certain point, this repetition can result in a monotonous and predictable artwork. This paper intended to discover what efforts artists make to avoid monotony and repetitiveness in their artworks. In this paper we looked at the efforts of three modern artists: Popo Iskandar, Ahmad Sadali, and Fadjar Sidik. It was found that even when there is a consistent repetition between artworks, these artists continue to experiment with the visual elements of their art so that the artworks will vary from each other. The visual elements varied in the painting were: (1) object, including type, amount, color, and background; and (2) object composition, including setting, direction, and attitude.

The Circus and the Dream: Representation of the American Dream of Minorities in The Greatest Showman
Authors: Zulfa Nooraida Alfi , Saraswati Asri
Published: August 2022

This research analyzed the commercially successful American musical film entitled The Greatest Showman, released in 2017. This film depicts the journey of P.T. Barnum, who becomes a showman. Barnum founded a circus that includes people from minority racial groups and who have physical uniqueness. This research aimed to examine how representation of the American dream is portrayed in this film and is reconstructed by focusing on minority characters in the circus troupe. A descriptive-analytical method was used with a qualitative approach by considering narrative and cinematic aspects. Inspired by P.T. Barnum’s ‘freakshow’ and circus in the nineteenth century, the film portrays the circus as the pathway to the American dream for multicultural and disabled minorities. The circus provided equal opportunities for all people to show their talents and abilities to perform in a circus show, regardless of class, social status, or gender. However, problematically, the representation of the American dream in the film still affirms white, male privilege by maintaining white males as the leaders of minorities in the circus space.

The Development of a Game Design for Wayang Beber Pacitan
Authors: Nirwana Aditya , Prasetyo Nugroho Didit
Published: August 2022

Even though traditional arts and culture look ‘exotic’ and often contribute to regional income and foreign exchange through tourism, they are increasingly marginalized and subdued by modernity. The Conference of Indonesian Youth Diaspora in 2018 declared the need for cultural preservation and prioritization of national identity through the development of the creative economy. There is an opportunity for collaboration between subsectors as part of this. Even though the game industry ecosystem is not yet stable, 12,441 companies in this subsector are driven by young people (20-24 years old), which means they have great potential for the next decade. The ’encounter’ of game developers with traditional art studios in a development team could produce disruptive innovations in the form of game products based on traditional arts and culture. This development research was the first step in that direction. The purpose of this study was to develop a concept and design of a role-playing game story of Jaka Kembang Kuning (Wayang Beber Pacitan). By using a mixed methods research and development approach, a game concept document was developed as a game concept, and a game design document (GDD) as the game design. Validation tests of the GDD were carried out which indicated that the GDD was valid and effective as a design document. This means that the GDD is in accordance with the quality standards of those commonly used by game development companies and therefore it is ready to be used as a foundation for the next stage of development.

Collaboration Between Typography and Visual Narrative to Strengthen the Communication Delivery Process
Authors: Ade Lose Hermanto Yon
Published: August 2022

Visual narrative (also called visual storytelling) is a story told primarily through visual media. The story can be described using photography, illustrations, or video. It can be enhanced with graphics, music, sound, and other audio. In comparison, typography is the study of letters and their relation to the delivery of information. This study aimed to examine how visual communication carried out through visual narrative can be more quickly understood by the public when combined with the communicative power of typography. Two tactics were employed: 1) A/B testing, which involved using several images to test the effectiveness of the image or design; and 2) eye tracking, which tested how the audience read in digesting the information from the designs that were created. Recommendations and a formulation of work steps/processes that use a combination of typography and visual narrative to increase the effectiveness of delivering messages to the audience were developed.

Promoting East Java Culinary Practices in Webtoon From the Generation Z Perspective
Authors: Dwi Wiji Utami Athika
Published: August 2022

The challenge of every industry today, including the culinary industry, is understanding the mindset and consumption patterns of Generation Z. They were born and raised side by side with the internet, social media, and technology. Their mindset and consumption patterns are different from the previous generation, especially in terms of mastery of technology and information. The aim of this study was to examine how Generation Z perceives new media of Webtoon as a medium of culinary promotion in East Java. This was mixed-methods research with an explanatory sequential approach. Data collection techniques included online questionnaires, interviews, and pre- and post-tests with 39 respondents. The results showed that there was a difference in the knowledge of Generation Z about East Java culinary practices after reading Webtoon, but the average difference between the pre- and post-test was low. This finding contradicts the perception that Generation Z favors Webtoon as a medium. The in-depth findings showed that this inconsistency is related to personal preferences in media selection. For Generation Z, although Webtoon is not a priority as a medium for the promotion of East Java culinary practices, Webtoon has three functions: a transmitter of information, disseminator of cultural values, and source of entertainment.

Development of Educational Media About Natural Dyed Batik Based on Virtual Reality
Authors: Iriaji Iriaji , Rahman Prasetyo Abdul , Sidyawati Lisa
Published: August 2022

Currently, natural dye batik is highly sought after at both the national and international levels. This is because natural dyed batik, besides having beautiful colors that tend to be soft, also carries health advantages: namely, the waste does not pollute the environment. Indonesian people, especially local tourists, are still not familiar with the uniqueness of natural dyed batik. Indonesian people tend to use synthetic dyed batik, which is actually made from chemical dyes that are not environmentally friendly. This research aimed to develop educational media about natural dyed batik based on the use of virtual reality to promote cultural tourism assets in the Trenggalek Regency. We used the Borg and Gall development model. Based on the stages of the Borg and Gall model, this research was simplified into the following steps: (1) research and data collection; (2) planning; (3) product draft development; (4) field trials; (5) product improvement based on the results of the field trials; (6) final product refinement; and (7) dissemination and implementation. In the first year of this development research, the focus was on the research and data collection, planning, and product draft development stages. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods and content analysis of the product draft development design.

Building Indonesian Animation Students' Persona
Authors: Rifqi Novica Dimas , Campos Susana
Published: August 2022

This study is part of a research project which investigates drawing as a knowledge creation process in Indonesian animation students. Research on design education in Indonesia is still scarce, even more so within animation education. This investigation aimed to understand animation students’ attributes, behaviors and attitudes, to build an animation students’ personae (ASP). The steps in creating the ASP incorporated the concepts of student-centered learning and human-centered design. We collected data through a questionnaire completed by 138 animation students aged 17-25 years old from different higher education institutions in Indonesia. Based on the data, we created four different ASPs to which we have attributed names, demographic attributes, activities, personality types, and perspectives in order to contextualize the lives of animation students.

The Development of the Wayang Panji Nusantara Network Model to Strengthen the Articulation of the Panji Culture in Southeast Asia
Authors: Irawanto Rudi , Arimbawa AAG Rai
Published: August 2022

Wayang Panji is a puppet based on Panji stories that developed in Southeast Asia. The story of Panji in the art of wayang is found in Malang mask puppet art, Krucil Kediri puppets, Madurese puppeteers’ puppets, Banjar Kalimantan puppets, Thai Siamese puppets, and wayang puppets in Kelantan Malaysia. The development of Panji culture in Indonesia has been partly through the Panji Nusantara Week activity, which is held once a year, and features performances of Panji-themed arts in several cities in Indonesia. The Panji Cultural Week, which has been held for the past few years, has yet to touch all areas of Panji-themed art, both in Indonesia and abroad. Panji wayang art, which is one of the Panji cultural products, is overlooked by practitioners of Panji culture, even though Panji wayang art is spread across several regions in Indonesia and in several Southeast Asian countries. This research sought to develop Panji-themed wayang art in the Southeast Asian region, so that it has parallels with other Panji-themed arts, through the development of the Panji wayang network in the Southeast Asian region. The Panji Nusantara wayang network aims to build cultural communication between actors and observers of Panji wayang art in the Southeast Asia region and serve as a publication media for Panji puppets for the general public. The cultural communication media was formed as a virtual collaborative performance event, while the wayang Panji publication media is in the form of a digital application-based platform that contains a database for the Panji Nusantara puppet, profiles of the Panji wayang artists, and a roster of the performance activities. This research used the Willis design development method combined with ethnographic methods. The research data were collected in East Java and Kelantan Malaysia.
