Published: December 2023

Akademik dünyadaki sosyal bilimlerin metodolojik işleyişiyle okul düzeyindeki derslere yansıması arasında oldukça büyük farklar vardır. Sosyal bilimler farklı bakış açıları ve yorumlayışlara, akademik kurallar çerçevesindeki göreceliliğe son derece açık; araştırmacının perspektifinden ele aldığı konuyu değerlendirmeler yapabileceği bilim dalları bütünüdür. Buna karşılık Sosyal bilimler merkezindeki derslerden Sosyal Bilgiler, Tarih, Coğrafya ve Felsefe grubu dersleri uzun yıllardan bu yana ezberle özdeşleşmiştir. Bilginin merkezde olduğu bu derslerde, eğitimin temel öznesi olan öğrenci, kendi öğrenme sürecinde etkin olamamaktaydı. Oysa günümüz dünyasında internet aracılığıyla bilgiye ortalama 7-8 saniyede ulaşılmaktadır. Bu noktada temel amaç, öğrencinin hızla ulaştığı bilginin güvenilirliğini sorguladıktan sonra bilgiyi işlemden geçirerek fikir/ürün oluşturmasıdır. Gelişmiş ülkelerdeki temel anlayış, öğrencinin, o ders alanının bilgiyi üretme yöntem, basamak ve kavramlarını deneyimleyen küçük bir bilim insanı olduğu düşüncesi olmuştur. Bir diğer deyişle, ders tarih dersi ise, öğrencinin “küçük tarihçi”, ders coğrafya dersi ise “küçük coğrafyacı”, ders felsefe dersi ise “küçük düşünür” olarak görülmesidir. Nitekim 21. yüzyılın başlangıcında Türkiye’deki sivil toplum kuruluşları da eğitimde beceri geliştirmeye önem verilmesinin altını çizmekteydiler. 2005 yılı sosyal bilgiler öğretim programı ve devamında ortaöğretim sosyal alan derslerine yönelik hazırlanan öğretim programları bu anlamda ‘becerinin keşfi’ gibi görülebilir. Ardından 2018 yılı öğretim programında da beceriye yapılan vurgu devam etmiştir. Öğretim programlarındaki bu değişimlere karşılık, beceriler ders kitaplarına yeterince yansımamıştır. Yine ders kitaplarında bazen amaçları belirsiz, niteliği görece düşük metinlerinin ve etkinliklerin yazılmasına da neden olabilmiştir. Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı, becerileri anlam ve kapsam olarak daha etkin bir şekilde tanımlamak ve işlem basamakları olarak daha görünür bir yapıya kavuşturmak, bundan sonraki öğretim programlarına kılavuzluk etmesi noktasında “K12 Beceriler Çerçevesi Türkiye Bütüncül Modeli’ni (2023) yayımlamıştır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, “K12 Beceriler Çerçevesi Türkiye Bütüncül Modeli’nde yer alan Sosyal Bilimler alan becerilerini kavram, kapsam, geliştirilme öyküsü ve becerilerin nasıl yorumlanacağı noktasında tanıtmaktır.

Published: December 2023

Настоящая статья рассматривает возможности применения анализа языкового ландшафта как инструмента для описания и изучения многоязычия в Республике Бурятия. Отталкиваясь от традиционного понимания языковой ситуации в рассматриваемом регионе как двуязычной, автор вводит тезис о расширении применимости понятия многоязычия к ситуации в Бурятии, а затем описывает различные направления, в исследование которых анализ языкового ландшафта может внести свой вклад, связывает их с тем, что реализовано в предыдущих исследованиях языкового ландшафта столицы Бурятии, и выявляет лакуны, которые могут быть заполнены в дальнейших исследованиях. Рассматриваемые направления включают в себя изучение витальности языков на основании их представленности и функционирования в языковом ландшафте (прежде всего, бурятского языка, являющегося миноритарным в республике при наличии статуса государственного), анализ языковой политики, опирающийся на изучение нормативно-правовых актов и сопоставление их с реальной ситуацией как в республике в целом, так и в конкретном населенном пункте, а также изучение языковых установок и идеологий акторов из числа горожан и владельцев частного бизнеса, участвующих в языковом взаимодействии на территории города, путем проведения с ними полуструктурированных интервью. Завершается статья тезисом о необходимости проведения подобных исследований не только в городе Улан-Удэ, но и в других значимых населенных пунктах Республики Бурятия (городах, районных центрах и курортных локациях), которые представляют большой интерес для сравнительного анализа языкового ландшафта и, как результат, понимания устройства многоязычия в рассматриваемом регионе.
ЯЗЫКОВАЯ ПОЛИТИКА ФРАНЦИИ В ОТНОШЕНИИ РЕГИОНАЛЬНЫХ ЯЗЫКОВ
Authors: Кожемякина Валентина Алексеевна
Published: December 2023

В статье представлен анализ языковой политики Франции по отношению к региональным языкам страны. Франция является многоязычной страной и несмотря на то, что Конституцией признается только один официальный язык – французский, французским властям приходится отвечать на требования носителей семидесяти пяти региональных языков страны по сохранению и развитию своих родных языков. В статье проведен анализ законов о региональных языках, принятых во Франции, которые постепенно расширяют сферы их использования. И хотя первый закон об использовании некоторых региональных языков был принят в 1951 г., только в 2021 г. был принят закон о региональных языках, позволяющий организовывать преподавание регионального языка не только как предмет, но и двуязычное обучение на всех региональных языках страны. Рассматривается функционирование региональных языков метропольной Франции в социально-коммуникативных сферах, но особое внимание уделяется использованию этих языков в основной сфере функционирования языка – системе образования. Актуальность статьи обусловлена особым вниманием российской и мировой общественности к языковой ситуации и решению языковых проблем в полиэтнических государствах, а также к сохранению языков коренных народов многоязычных стран.

Victoria blue R is a cationic triphenylmethane dye usually released from textile industries and reported to exhibit mutagenic and carcinogenic effects on aquatic organisms and humans. Hence, the objective of this study is to investigate the capability of pineapple waste garbage enzymes to biodegrade the Victoria blue R dye using One-Factor-At-a-Time (OFAT) optimization under the effect of Victoria blue R dye concentration (0.02 to 0.10 mg/mL), pH (1 to 7), and temperature (25°C to 49°C) via Design Expert 7.0 software. The results show that pineapple waste garbage enzymes gave the highest decolorization efficiency at a concentration of 0.07 mg/mL of Victoria blue R dye, pH 4.74, and 40.4°C. The ANOVA analysis suggests all models are quadratic, and the R-Squared values for the factors are 0.92, 0.95 and 0.92 for the concentration of Victoria blue R dye, pH and temperature, respectively. This work proposed that pineapple waste garbage enzymes can effectively remove Victoria blue R dye in wastewater applications.

Published: December 2023

The detection of plant diseases is critical for maintaining crop health and maximizing agricultural yields. This research proposes a comprehensive approach to improve plant disease detection by addressing challenges related to unbalanced datasets and leveraging generative adversarial networks (GANs). This research focuses on enhancing the accuracy and generalization capabilities of disease recognition models. To address dataset bias, a larger and more diverse dataset is collected, comprising unhealthy plant leaves from various plants, regions, and disease types. The expanded dataset enables comprehensive training and validation, ensuring a representative depiction of leaf variations and diseases. Domain-specific knowledge and expert guidance are incorporated to capture realistic and characteristic attributes of diseased leaves. To overcome overfitting, the regularization technique is applied during training. These techniques promote the learning of generalized representations and mitigate the generation of unrealistic or repetitive images. The proposed approach is extensively evaluated using Plant Village dataset encompassing various plant species, and disease types. By implementing these solutions, this research enhances the accuracy, robustness, and generalization capabilities of plant disease detection systems. It establishes a foundation for reliable and effective detection methods, contributing to the sustainable management of plant diseases and improved agricultural outcomes.

Published: December 2023

The main role of education is to improve the quality of human resources, both through government and non-government institutions. One solution is through School Based Management (SBM) as a management of resources to improve the quality of education. Schools are given direct authority regarding services in schools both internally and externally. This is in line with the decentralization policy which encourages schools to make decisions in a transparent, accountable and participatory manner by involving school members such as principals, teachers, students, parents and the community.

Authors: BABA AHMED Siham , ADİL Selka , LAHFA Ilham
Published: December 2023

Carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) is widely used in traditional medicine and food. The aim of this study was to determine the most appropriate extraction solvent to optimize the extraction of polyphenols and flavonoids from the leaves, in order to obtain the highest antioxidant activity. In this context, the effects of six different solvents (100% methanol, 100% ethanol, 100% acetone, 50% (v/v) aqueous methanol, 50% (v/v) aqueous ethanol and 50% (v/v) aqueous acetone) with different polarities on the polyphenol content and antioxidant activity of carob tree leaf extracts were investigated. The total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents, as well as the antioxidant activity determined by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging method of the extracts were evaluated. The results showed that carob tree leaves extracted with 100% methanol presented the highest values in terms of total polyphenol content (11.33± 0.08 mg EAG/g DM), total flavonoid content (8.55± 0.34 mg EC/g DM) and DPPH inhibition percentage (79.29 ± 3.75%). High positive correlations between total polyphenols, total flavonoids and antioxidant activity of carob tree leaf extracts were also observed. These results indicate that carob tree leaf extract obtained using an appropriate extraction solvent was able to enhance the protective effect against oxidative damage associated with free radicals.

We introduce (quantum) twist automorphisms for upper cluster algebras and cluster Poisson algebras with coefficients. Our constructions generalize the twist automorphisms for quantum unipotent cells. We study their existence and their compatibility with Poisson structures and quantization. The twist automorphisms always permute well-behaved bases for cluster algebras. We explicitly construct (quantum) twist automorphisms of Donaldson-Thomas type and for principal coefficients.

This study was conducted to synthesize magnetic wood through the ex situ impregnation method of magnetite nanoparticles and analyze its physical properties and characterization. The process was initiated with the synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles by the co-precipitation method and the nano-magnetite was successfully synthesized with a particle distribution of 17–233 nm at an average size of 75 nm. Furthermore, the impregnation solution consisted of three different levels of magnetite nanoparticles dispersed in furfuryl alcohol, untreated and furfurylated wood for comparison. Sengon wood (Falcataria moluccana Miq.) was also used due to its low physical properties. The impregnation process was conducted by immersing the samples in the solution at a vacuum of −0.5 bar for 30 min, followed by a pressure of 1 bar for 2 h. There was also an improvement in the physical properties, such as weight percent gain, bulking effect, anti-swelling efficiency and density, while the water uptake continued to decrease. Additionally, magnetite nanoparticles appeared in wood microstructure image, supported by the result of ferrum content in chemical element analysis. The results showed that chemical change analysis proved the presence of Fe–O functional group cross-linked with wood polymer. The diffractogram also reported the appearance of magnetite nanoparticles peak and a decrease in crystallinity due to an increase in the concentration. Based on the analysis, sengon wood was classified as a superparamagnetic material with soft magnetic characteristics and the optimum treatment was furfurylated-magnetite 12.5% wood.
Spectrum and analytic functional calculus in real and quaternionic frameworks: An overview
Authors: Vasilescu Florian-Horia
Published: December 2023

An approach to the elementary spectral theory for quaternionic linear operators was presented by the author in a recent paper, quoted and discussed in the Introduction, where, unlike in works by other authors, the construction of the analytic functional calculus used a Riesz-Dunford-Gelfand type kernel, and the spectra were defined in the complex plane. In fact, the present author regards the quaternionic linear operators as a special class of real linear operators, a point of view leading to a simpler and a more natural approach to them. The author's main results in this framework are summarized in the following, and other pertinent comments and remarks are also included in this text. In addition, a quaternionic joint spectrum for pairs of operators is discussed, and an analytic functional calculus which uses a Martinelli type kernel in two variables is recalled.

Published: December 2023

Hyperphosphatemia is an electrolyte disorder highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (HD) that usually requires treatment with oral phosphate binders (PBs). Sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SO) is a calcium-free, iron-based PB indicated for the control of serum phosphorus. In the real-world setting, SO has shown clinical effectiveness with a lower pill burden and has also been associated with reduced hospital admission rates. This study aims to assess the potential economic benefits resulting from the introduction of SO to the health-care setting of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). An economic analysis using data from a retrospective real-world study that compared HD patients with uninterrupted SO prescriptions with patients who discontinued SO and switched to other PBs (oPBs). Annual drug costs for the estimated PB-eligible population in KSA were quantified. Costs per responder were estimated for all treatments. Hospital admissions' incidence rates were converted into annual inpatient cost savings and were deducted from drug costs to estimate the annual economic effect of SO versus oPBs. Sensitivity and breakeven analyses were also conducted. The eligible population for PB therapy in KSA was estimated atn= 14,748. Treating therapy-eligible populations exclusively with SO was estimated to generate annual inpatient cost-savings of SAR 107.4–119.4 million compared to treating the population with oPBs. The estimated economic effect signified overall annual savings ranging from SAR 82.8 to SAR 94.8 million when the population is treated with SO. Sensitivity analyses showed persistent cost savings. The estimated benefit–cost ratios showed that for every SAR 1 spent on SO, the expected return on investment was SAR 4.4–4.9. SO is an effective therapy that may result in substantial cost savings from reducing hospital admission costs that are attributable to hyperphosphatemia among HD patients.
Levels of Proteinuria and Renal Pathology in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients
Authors: Al Arfaj Abdurhman Saud , Khalil Najma
Published: December 2023

According to the current guidelines, renal biopsies are performed in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients for proteinuria of 0.5 g/24 h or higher. Renal pathology may be present in patients with lower-level proteinuria (<0.5 g/24 h). We aimed to review the renal histopathology in SLE patients, with lower levels of proteinuria. In this retrospective study, we retrieved SLE patients' data, including 24-h urinary protein excretion and renal histopathology results. We compared various parameters in different lupus nephritis (LN) classes and in different levels of proteinuria (urinary protein <0.5 g, 0.5 to <1 g, and ≥1 g per 24 h). Out of 476 patients, 274 (57.6%) had proteinuria of <0.5 g, 44 (9.2%) had 0.5 to <1 g, and 158 (33.2%) had ≥1 g per 24 h. SLE patients with proteinuria of <0.5 g/24 h were found to have LN, including the proliferative classes. Of the 299 LN cases confirmed by a renal biopsy, low-level proteinuria (<0.5 g) was found in 39.8% of all LN patients, in 50% of patients with Class III LN, 33.3% of those with Class IV LN, 31.4% of those with Class V LN, and 41.4% of those with other LN classes (II/V, III/V, and IV/V). Overall, 35.9% (87/242) of patients with the proliferative LN classes (III, IV, V, II/V, III/V and IV/V) had low-level proteinuria of <0.5 g/24 h. SLE patients with low-level proteinuria had significant renal pathology. Our study suggests there is a need to perform renal biopsies at lower levels of proteinuria.
Hyperphosphatemic Familial Tumoral Calcinosis with Hyperphosphatemic Hyperostosis Due to a Novel Mutation: Severe Presentation of a Rare Disorder
Authors: Rawat Ankur , Bhandari Sumit , Kurup Arjun , Kumar Pramod , Dwivedi Aradhana , Kalra Suprita
Published: December 2023

Tumoral calcinosisis (TC) is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal deposition of calcium in subcutaneous tissues. It can be primary or secondary to systemic diseases. The primary familial form with hyperphosphatemia has been described to be due to underlying biallelic variants in GALNT3, KLOTHO, or FGF23 gene which lead to the inactivation of FGF23 resulting in hyperphosphatemia and its effects thereof. These patients usually present only with TC or diaphysitis with cortical hyperostosis, known as hyperphosphatemic-hyperostosis syndrome (HHS), and rarely present with both. We present a 13-year-old boy with a history of painful swelling of the right hip joint for the last 4 years who was found to have hyperphosphatemic familial TC on evaluation with HHS of the left tibia due to an underlying novel homozygous missense variant in GALNT3
gene. Further, in silico analysis was carried out to identify the impact of this missense variant on the structure and function of protein coded by GALNT3.
Progress in Age Estimation Based on DNA Methylation
Authors: Huang Yihang , Qu Shengqiu , Xiao Yuanyuan , Jian Hui , Liang Weibo
Published: December 2023

In forensic practice, the age of suspects or victims is crucial information that aids in the resolution of cases. In recent years, age estimation based on DNA methylation has gained significant attention in forensic science. DNA methylation, an epigenetic marker, undergoes specific changes with age, making it a valuable tool for inferring the age of samples left at crime scenes. Therefore, the identification of age-related DNA methylation markers and the development of novel age estimation models are of great importance in forensic medicine. Numerous studies in the past decade have successfully established age estimation models based on DNA methylation, demonstrating excellent sensitivity and accuracy. To provide a comprehensive review, the authors of this paper conducted a systematic review of relevant articles published from 2012 to the present. We used keywords such as “forensic,” “DNA methylation,” and “age estimation” to retrieve pertinent articles from the Web of Science database. The review covers various aspects, including the sources of sample tissues used for age estimation, DNA methylation conversion methods, and different techniques for DNA methylation detection. In addition, the paper reviews the modeling methods for age estimation based on DNA methylation and factors that can influence DNA methylation. Overall, this review serves as a valuable reference for forensic genetics, offering insights into the latest advancements in age estimation using DNA methylation. As the field of forensic science continues to evolve, the integration of DNA methylation-based age estimation into practice is expected to enhance the accuracy and reliability of age determination in criminal investigations.
Pinpointing the Short-tandem Repeats Alleles for Ethnic Inferencing in Forensic Identification by K-medoids Approach
Authors: Syukriani Yoni Fuadah , Hidayat Yuyun
Published: December 2023

Background:

The role of DNA analysis for ethnicity inferencing is a topic that attracts much interest from researchers in forensic identification, especially for identifying unknown bodies and trace evidence. So far, the approaches considered effective for ethnic inferencing are autosomal single-nucleotide polymorphisms, Y-chromosome short-tandem repeats (STRs), and mitochondrial DNA haplotyping, which successfully demonstrates the association of specific nucleotides or patterns with population groups. Ethnic inferencing based on autosomal STRs is complex due to the nature of recombination in gamete formation.

Aim:

This study attempts to use clustering analysis to associate alleles and loci of autosomal STRs with population groups.

Materials and Methods:

We examined the allele frequency data from 19 STRs loci from the Malay Indonesian population (n = 470) to compare with other populations, namely, Chinese Indonesian (n = 133) and four reference populations (Malay Malaysian, Filipino, Chinese, and Caucasian). K-Medoids clustering analysis was carried out to pinpoint alleles and loci affecting the population clustering process.

Results:

The first stage of clustering results placed Malay Indonesians and four other Asian populations, namely, Chinese Indonesian, Malay Malaysian, Filipino, and Chinese, in Cluster 1, whereas the Caucasian group was in Cluster 2. It indicates that the CSF1PO, D5S818, and D8S1179 loci significantly distinguished the five Asian population groups from the Caucasian group, whereas D2S441, D8S1179, and D22S1045 were the three loci that significantly influenced the separation between Malay Indonesians and other groups.

Conclusions:

We conclude that K-medoids clustering analysis has the potential to play a role in ethnicity estimation by pinpointing specific STRs alleles.

Free boundary minimal hypersurfaces outside of the ball
Authors: Mazet Laurent , Mendes Abraão
Published: December 2023

In this paper, we obtain two classification theorems for free boundary minimal hypersurfaces outside of the unit ball (exterior FBMH, for short) in Euclidean space. The first result states that the only exterior stable FBMH with parallel embedded regular ends are the catenoidal hypersurfaces. To achieve this, we prove a Bôcher-type result for positive Jacobi functions on regular minimal ends in

\mathbb{R}^{n+1}

that, after some calculations, implies the first theorem. The second theorem states that any exterior FBMH

\Sigma

with one regular end is a catenoidal hypersurface. Its proof is based on a symmetrization procedure similar to that of R. Schoen. We also give a complete description of the catenoidal hypersurfaces, including the calculation of their indices.

O objetivo do presente trabalho se concentra na utilização de aportes teóricos construídos por Hegel para a compreensão da colonialidade e sua construção enquanto processo dialético, tendo por síntese a modernidade. A partir da lógica de sujeito-objeto contida na Fenomenologia do Espírito, em especial da dialética do senhor e do escravo, utilizou-se o método qualitativo de revisão bibliográfica de livros e artigos para promover uma leitura das relações colonizador-colonizado. A revisitação do filósofo alemão se faz adequada enquanto representante central no pensamento europeu colonizador à época. Equiparando, mutatis mutandis, o senhor-colonizador e o escravo-colonizado, o não-reconhecimento deste por aquele resulta em efeitos perversos para a construção da modernidade, tema de forte crítica por pensadores latino-americanos contemporâneos. Ao contrário do resultado esperado por uma aplicação pura da teoria hegeliana, a conclusão converge aos apontamentos de Miroslav Milovic e afirma a ascensão de identidades, outrora colonizadas, como potências de subjetividade na transmodernidade.

A histórica distribuição de terras no Brasil perpassa por desigualdades e informalidades, reverberando, nos dias atuais, no insuficiente acesso à moradia pela população mais vulnerável. Nesse sentido, o instituto da REURB, regulamentado pela Lei 13.465/2017, surge como alternativa à garantia do direito à cidade, muito embora reflita, preponderantemente, o caráter titulatório e jurídico, inviabilizando o direito em sua potencialidade, principalmente se analisado sob uma ótica plena. Assim, surge o questionamento: é possível analisar a REURB plena a partir do enfoque teórico do Direito como potência? Desse modo, pretende-se fazer uma análise do instituto da REURB mediante a contribuição dos pressupostos da filosofia da diferença ao entendimento do instituto supracitado e como ele pode ser visto enquanto potencialidade através da dimensão identitária. Para isso, utilizou-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental dos marcos legais e pressupostos teóricos, com abordagem qualitativa. A principal conclusão indica que a REURB plena identitária admite novos paradigmas ao cenário urbano e à atuação jurídica, entretanto, a mera alteração conceitual proposta não é capaz de resolver as problemáticas do tecido urbano brasileiro, tendo em vista a complexidade de tais elementos. No entanto, há que se considerar a REURB identitária como potencial instrumento propagador de novos pressupostos para se pensar o direito à cidade como alternativa à ótica tradicional urbana, ou seja, representa uma alteração de paradigma capaz de garantir a potencialidade do sistema jurídico.
UMA BREVE REFLEXÃO SOBRE RESPONSABILIDADE, CRÍTICA E DESOBEDIÊNCIA
Authors: Stephan Cassiana Lopes
Published: December 2023

A partir da perspectiva aberta por Miroslav Milovic na obra Direito como Potência, refletiremos sobre a tensão entre o caráter opressor da moral, que se atrelaria ao direito como catalizador da normatividade, e o caráter libertador da ética, que se vincularia ao direito como propulsor do cuidado em relação à diversidade tal que experenciada sob o bojo da alteridade. Assim sendo, nesse ensaio, partimos da questão aberta por Miroslav Milovic, que pergunta pela potência libertadora do direito, na tentativa de redimensioná-la com base na noção de “responsabilidade”, valendo-nos do arcabouço ético de Frédéric Gros, Judith Butler e Michel Foucault. Para pensarmos a responsabilidade no que se refere à prática libertadora do direito, que afirma as potencialidades críticas da existência, recorremos a Frédéric Gros, perguntando-nos em que medida seria responsável desobedecer às normas vigentes em nossa cultura. Além disso, no presente artigo, assimilamos o caráter opressor da moral à responsabilidade abstrata, como interpretada por Judith Butler com base em Adorno, e à moral voltada ao código, como interpretada por Michel Foucault. Por outro lado, assimilamos o caráter libertador da ética à responsabilidade ética, nas vias abertas por Butler, e à moral voltada à ética, nas vias abertas por Foucault por meio das análises da antiga concepção de cuidado de si. Concebemos que Gros, Butler e Foucault nos permitem pensar, a partir de um ponto de vista ético, a problematização miroslaviana acerca da potência crítica do direito.
Seismic response of reinforced concrete buildings, considering the effective stiffness in beams, columns and structural walls

The Peruvian Technical Standard E.030 for Seismic Resistant Design allows the analysis of the elastic range of buildings, considering gross stiffness. However, Peruvian Standard E060 considers the effects of axial loads, cracked regions in structural elements, and load duration. This research focuses on the impact of incorporating effective stiffness in seismic responses (displacements, drifts, and vibration periods) for six, seven, and eight-story reinforced concrete structures. The study quantifies the increase in seismic responses for design earthquakes and suggests that using effective stiffness in elastic analyses can reduce structural damage. To analyze seismic responses, three buildings of different heights were selected, meeting drift limits established by Standard E.030 using the gross section. Subsequently, twelve structural cases and combinations were created and analyzed in the ETABS program, employing the CQC criterion allowed by Standard E030. Different combinations of effective moment of inertia values for elastic analyses, according to ACI 318 (2014), were used. The study found that the simultaneous reduction of gross inertias of columns, beams, and structural walls led to a 1.2-fold increase in period and a 1.5-fold increase in drift, with variations based on the building's height. In conclusion, it is recommended to consider effective stiffness in elastic structural analyses to minimize displacement damage and ensure better structural performance during severe seismic events.

Petak Village has utilized technology in the form of a village information system. However, this has not provided maximum convenience, especially for the Petak Village community. This is caused by the lack of maximum utilization of the information system in terms of community needs related to village administration. The lack of public knowledge about how to utilize the information system and the lack of outreach, make these features not be used as they should. The public service most often needed by the community is regarding village administration in the form of a statement letter from the village administration. So far, people have had to come directly to the village office and then apply for the certificate. The process of submitting this letter can be made more concise if using technological assistance. The solutions offered to these problems are divided into two types of activities, namely training on the use of technology, especially web-based, in facilitating activities in the village and holding training on the use of technology that has been provided by Petak Village Apparatuses in terms of village administration services for the community. The initial activity that has been carried out is training regarding the use of technology in the form of healthy internet training, namely digital literacy for the people of Petak Village. Evaluation of activities was carried out at the end of the training and showed an increase in the knowledge of the trainees by 4.875. The second service activity is training in the use of village information systems in submitting letters. The results of the evaluation of community service activities are 51% of community service activities which are stated to be very good.

Since the 1990s, radiometric and biophotonic sensor applications have provided reliable alternatives and rapid non-invasive diagnostics for the detection and delimitation of pests and diseases, as well as pesticide traces. Active sensors have been shown to be more accurate in detecting the heterogeneity of environmental factors based on thermal and infrared characteristics, chlorophyll fluorescence, and plant reflectance. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with infrared cameras locate and delimit weed abundance and diversity using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) algorithms, which highlight heterogeneous chlorophyll activity and herbicide-limited photosynthesis in crops. The resulting map serves as the foundation for collecting plant samples. In this study, the technology of these sensors was applied to determine glyphosate traces using Raman spectroscopy, which allowed a quick, low-cost, simple, and practical diagnosis with immediate results. These are essential characteristics for surveillance and monitoring activities, as well as the basis for a geo-referenced inventory of pesticides in production units. Of the 44 weed samples collected, eight were positive for glyphosate traces: two in corn and six in avocado. Weeds are identified as positive to glyphosate traces in Raman spectroscopy in the carotenoid and phenylpropanoid reduction ranges (1186 and 1213 cm-1) as a result of a decrease in the immune response. The vibrations presented by the amines in glyphosate and the C-OH of the carboxyl group are detected in the range of 1565 and 1567 cm-1.

Each student has different skills, interests, and learning paces in a classroom. If each student has a personal tutor to support learning according to their ability, it will improve the quality of teaching and no student will be left behind. In reality, no school has enough teachers to support individual learning, but each teacher has to handle many students in the same class. Therefore, an AI Chatbot that acts as a “virtual teacher” next to a real teacher can do that. AI Chatbot can support individual students in a friendly, interesting environment and provide knowledge depending on their cognitive level. Learning with AI Chatbot also helps students feel more interested and motivated with new learning methods. Instead of teachers providing information and knowledge for students to remember and apply, AI Chatbot will help learners build and create their knowledge through interactions and experiences. Besides providing answers to learners’ queries, Chatbots can provide step-by-step instructions to achieve teaching goals for specific lessons. In this article, the authors based on the applications of AI Chatbot in teaching to present a teaching scenario using AI Chatbot to teach mathematics with a self-regulated learning orientation for primary school students. Specifically, the authors have built a scenario for the “Millimeter” lesson in the Mathematics, 3rd Grade according to three phases of self-regulated learning: forethought, performance and self-reflection.
