Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the perception of sounds in Arabic language learning at SMA Negeri 3 Medan. Sound perception refers to students' ability to recognize and produce sounds in Arabic, which often differ from sounds in the Indonesian language. This research identifies phonological difficulties experienced by students, the factors influencing their sound perception, and the teaching methods employed to address these challenges. The research methodology used is qualitative with a case study approach, involving observations, interviews, and phonology tests with 30 students and several Arabic teachers at SMA Negeri 3 Medan. The results show that students face major difficulties in distinguishing and producing certain sounds, such as the letters " ع " (ain) and " ق " (qaf), which do not exist in Indonesian. Psychological factors, such as lack of self-confidence, as well as teaching methods that lack structure in phonological instruction, exacerbate the difficulties students face. This study recommends giving more attention to phonological teaching, utilizing technology, and implementing blended learning methods to enhance students' sound perception in Arabic.

Análisis textual y fuerza ilocutiva de tres cuerpos jurídicos venezolanos
Authors: Araujo Santiago Zandra
Published: January 2025

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo general analizar la interpretación jurídica de tres artículos presentes en los cuerpos legales: Artículo 1 de la Constitución de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela (1999), Artículo 4 del Código Civil de Venezuela (2009), y el Artículo 3 de la Ley Orgánica sobre Estado de Excepción (2001). Esta interpretación se realizó desde los criterios de interpretación jurídica de Savigny y el análisis textual desarrollado por Beugrande y Dressler. Para el análisis de la fuerza elocutiva de estos enunciados, se realizó desde las propuestas teóricas de Savigny, Austin y Searle. Se empleó el paradigma interpretativo, desde un diseño documental y bibliográfico. Se efectuó la indagación de artículos científicos que abordan investigaciones del análisis textual de los cuerpos legales desde el punto de vista lingüístico y de los cuerpos legales enunciados que posibilitaron su análisis desde la lingüística. Se evidenció en los resultados obtenidos que los artículos de los cuerpos legales analizados cumplen con los estándares de textualidad y con los criterios de interpretación jurídica propuestos por Savigny. Desde el análisis del punto de vista lingüístico, se concluyó que la fuerza ilocutiva presente en los verbos que componen los artículos interpretados los convierte en enunciados tal cual como los analiza Austin, y se clasifican dentro de la taxonomía de las palabras propuestas por Searle en la dirección de ajuste. Se concluyó que los cuerpos legales pueden ser analizados textual y lingüísticamente.
Lectura crítica de textos jurídicos
Authors: Morales Carrero Jesús Alfredo
Published: January 2025

El objetivo de este ensayo es reflexionar sobre la lectura crítica y las dificultades que enfrentan los estudiantes cuando deben leer un texto jurídico en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. En opinión de la mayor parte de los especialistas, la lectura de textos jurídicos no es lo suficientemente aprovechada por la Universidad de estos tiempos. Esta condición ha imposibilitado, en cierto modo, la formación de ciudadanos con sólidas convicciones sobre la justicia y la democracia cuya disposición crítica-reflexiva le permitan para valorar con sentido profundo, revisar acuciosamente y profundizar sobre el conocimiento de modo significativo. Este proceder activo refiere a que este escenario representa el lugar por antonomasia en el que se promueve el libre pensamiento y el uso de la criticidad como habilidades intelectuales necesarias para enfrentar las manipulaciones, objetar posicionamientos y luchar contra las imposiciones ideológicas. En atención a ello la universidad ha trazado entre sus cometidos, el desarrollo de prácticas lectoras situadas y significativas, en un intento por acercar al estudiante a las maneras como se produce y organiza el conocimiento científico, para lo que se ha valido de la promoción del pensamiento crítico y de actividades reflexivas-analíticas que le permita al estudiante apropiarse de aspectos medulares, ideas esenciales y posiciones ideológicas como aspectos desde los cuales asumir su punto de vista y producir conocimiento relevante, que por su rigurosidad se apegue a las convenciones propias de la comunidad científica en la que se inscribe.

Published: January 2025

La presente investigación centra su estudio sobre las políticas de desarrollo local en el cantón San Miguel de Tulcán visto desde una perspectiva político-institucional. La investigación analiza cómo los niveles de gobiernos de San Miguel de Tulcán tanto cantonal como parroquial generan coordinación interinstitucional a través de la ejecución de sus Planes de Desarrollo y Ordenamiento Territorial (PDOT), para promover el desarrollo de sus territorios a través de la implementación de una gobernanza que integre a los actores sociales, sector privado y público, así mejorar la calidad de vida de la ciudadanía. El enfoque de la investigación fue cualitativo y cuantitativo. Se realizó un análisis documental como técnica de investigación, estos documentos se contrastaron con la realidad a través de la información obtenida de entrevistas y encuestas sobre los procesos de desarrollo local. Se identificó que el desarrollo local es gestionado por cada gobierno local de manera independiente, es decir la planificación del desarrollo no tiene una articulación en sus diferentes niveles de gobierno tanto en la gestión como en la articulación de sus PDOT como instrumentos principales del desarrollo, lo cual ha generado muchas deficiencias de gestión y de ausencia en la participación ciudadana en dichas políticas de desarrollo local.

Authors: Montecillo Marielle Jane G. , Catubis Kent Marcial L. , Cabillo Reynante A. , Pascual Pet Roey L.
Published: January 2025

The increasing prices of chemical-based hydroponic nutrient solutions (CHNS) in the market have led to replace a percentage of its recommended rate with available local biostimulants to save hydroponic solution costs. Thus, a study on hydroponics utilizing different concentrations of Eucheuma cottonii seaweed extracts (SWE) as a biostimulant was conducted to determine the growth and yield of red leaf lettuce. The various concentrations of seaweed extract are a percentage substitution of CHNS. The treatments are 100% CHNS, 25% SWE + 75% CHNS, 50% SWE + 50% CHNS, and 75% SWE + 25% CHNS. The plant height of red leaf lettuce under 50% SWE (10.65 cm) is the highest compared to the lettuce grown under 100% CHNS (9.81 cm) and 75% SWE (9.76 cm) one week after treatment application. There was no significant difference in the plant height observed weeks after one week from treatment application. There was no significant difference among treatments on the number of leaves. The leaf width (12.28 cm) and plant weight (28.91 g) of red leaf lettuce under 25% SWE are comparable to the lettuce plant under 100% CHNS (11.47 cm, 33.62 g, respectively). The leaf length, conversely, is the highest at 75% SWE (12.69 cm). Similar growth had been observed among treatments used in the root length and dry weight. Thus, the commercial hydroponic nutrient solution could only be replaced up to 25% with seaweed extract without any significant reduction in growth and yield in lettuce except for plant height and leaf length.

Published: January 2025

Energy scarcity and food security are significant global challenges worsened by post-harvest losses and alarming hunger statistics, spurring agriculturists, food scientists, engineers, and decision-makers to promote global food security. Solar drying has gained recognition as a high-quality, eco-friendly method for food preservation. This study investigates a newly designed hybridized solar dryer equipped with solar reflectors for drying the most produced commodities in Northern Mindanao. The experiment considers three factors: loading density, slice thickness and drying tray location across three fruit samples- green Cardaba bananas, partially ripe mangoes and ripe pineapples. The experiment utilized the complete randomized design with three replications. The samples were procured locally, peeled, washed, and cut into 6 mm and 10 mm thick slices. Drying was conducted at two different loading densities of 53 and 107 g/100 cm2 from approximately 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Various drying parameters were monitored, including solar insolation, temperature distribution in the drying chamber, moisture characteristics curves and drying rate curves. Results showed initial moisture contents of 160 -190 % for bananas, 160 -270 % for mangoes, and 400-590 % for pineapples. Solar insolation peaked at approximately 800 W/m2 between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Higher drying rates were observed for samples in the top layer, with varying rates due to changes in solar insolation. The new dryer design effectively accommodates both slice thicknesses for all three commodities, making it a suitable option for communities in Northern Mindanao and nearby regions, with potential for extended use during nights or cloudy seasons.

Published: January 2025

Another material derived from coconut husks is coco peat. Coco peat can absorb water up to nine times its volume, making it an excellent growing medium for a variety of plants. However, due to its low density, handling, storage, and transportation of the material are impractical. To address this problem, a hydraulic-powered coco peat brick-making machine was developed to densify the material, providing coconut growers with a potential additional income by increasing the product's market value. The machine was assessed in terms of capacity, quality of coco peat bricks (CPB), and energy usage under various compression pressure levels (10 MPa, 15 MPa, and 20 MPa). At the lowest compression pressure of 10 MPa, the highest production capacity of 59 CPB per hour was recorded. However, as compression pressure increased, capacity decreased, resulting in lower production rates of 56 CPB per hour at 15 MPa and 51 CPB per hour at 20 MPa. The quality of CPB was evaluated based on its durability under a 1-meter drop test. Only CPB produced at 20 MPa were deemed high quality, achieving a retention rate of 96.57%. Lower compression pressures resulted in reduced material retention rates of 85.72% at 15 MPa and 76.50% at 10 MPa. Therefore, 20 MPa is recommended for producing high-quality CPB. With an initial cost of USD 2,466.40 and a yearly potential income of USD 12,511.40, the machine is cost-effective. To cover its costs, the machine must produce 4,320 CPB annually. At maximum productivity, the payback period is 46 working days, or approximately 0.18 years.
Decryption of Attendance Monitoring of Senior High School Students at ACTEC Using Zebra Crossing Algorithm
Authors: Fabro Bernard C. , Anuncio Hazel F.
Published: January 2025

This study focused on developing an attendance monitoring system for senior high school students at Asian Caregiving and Technology Education Centers, Inc. (ACTEC) using the Zebra Crossing (ZXing) algorithm to enhance efficiency and data security. The application functioned as an online platform where teachers could monitor attendance through QR codes, addressing the manual method’s inefficiencies, which are time-consuming and prone to record-keeping errors. By implementing a two-layered security feature, including a verification code and location-based access, the system enhanced data protection, reducing the risk of attendance manipulation by unauthorized individuals or students attempting to falsely log attendance remotely. The results indicated that the new system improved attendance reliability and integrity by allowing only authorized, on-site students to log attendance, with immediate implications for improved record accuracy, administrative efficiency, and secure data handling. Moreover, these measures safeguarded against potential security breaches and unauthorized access, which are critical as educational institutions increasingly adopt digital systems. Thus, this study suggests that integrating multi-layered security with QR code technology could serve as a model for similar attendance monitoring systems, ultimately contributing to a more trustworthy, cost-effective, and streamlined educational management process.

Published: January 2025

The Agusan Marsh in the Philippines has long been home to the indigenous Manobo people, who have developed unique amphibious houses designed to adapt to the region's fluctuating water levels. Despite their cultural importance, scientific studies on these structures still need to be expanded. This paper aims to provide baseline information on the construction of these amphibious houses, emphasizing the materials, structural components, and construction practices that enable them to thrive in the marsh's challenging environment. A rapid visual survey (RVS) and key informant interviews were conducted on 35 houses, most of which were built after 2012, with some dating back to the late 1990s. The RVS identified key materials such as bundled bamboo floaters, Mambog timber for framing, and nipa leaves or galvanized iron sheets for roofing. Essential structural components were also documented, including the Batangan (girders), Sakbat (floor beams), and Gal-gal (floor joists), which are critical for the stability of these houses. The study further highlighted the strategic placement of houses near trees to enhance stability and reduce environmental risks. The findings emphasize the value of indigenous knowledge in addressing environmental challenges, mainly through material selection and design flexibility, and offer insights into constructing resilient infrastructure.

Published: January 2025

Optimizing closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera placement in open-field environments is essential to enhance surveillance coverage while minimizing costs. This study addressed this challenge using a multi-objective optimization approach, employing the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) to balance coverage efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The method integrated grid-based layouts with varying densities and allowable camera orientations to identify optimal camera configurations. Bullet and omnidirectional cameras, characterized by differing angles of view (AOV) and depth of field (DOF), were strategically deployed to achieve comprehensive surveillance coverage. To validate this approach, the study focused on Bukidnon State University (BukSU), where wide-open campus areas presented unique monitoring challenges. Using Google Satellite imagery, optimal camera placements were determined, and the impact of grid density and camera orientation flexibility on cost and coverage was evaluated. Results showed that dense grid patterns with finer camera orientations (e.g., 45° intervals) maintained stable costs while improving positioning flexibility and reducing the need for additional cameras. In contrast, less dense grids with limited camera orientations (e.g., 90° intervals) increased costs due to the higher number of cameras required to achieve adequate coverage. Based on simulations, this study provided valuable insights for institutions aiming to enhance security in large, open spaces. By emphasizing the importance of grid density and flexible camera orientations, it contributed to the broader field of cost-efficient, large-scale surveillance optimization and offers a practical framework for addressing similar challenges in other settings.

Published: January 2025

Out-of-School Youth (OSY) remains one of the major issues in many countries around the world. In the Philippines, approximately 3.8 million Filipino youths lacked access to formal education. Hence, the government has been implementing non-formal education programs to provide educational and career opportunities. However, low learner success rates have been prevalent, which may put the government’s investment at risk of being wasted. Thus, the early detection of a learner's success is needed. There have been a number of studies conducted to predict students at risk of dropping, but none of them tackle out-of-school youth in non-formal education. In this study, the researchers introduced an innovative approach to mapping OSY through the development of a web and mobile-based system that includes early detection of OSYs at-risk of non-completion in ALS program using different classifiers. There were 17 potential independent variables identified in building the model, with “distance between the learning center and the learner’s home” and “corresponding travel time” emerging as the top key predictors. The researchers considered decision tree, logistic regression, kNN, SVM, random forest, and gradient boosting as the most appropriate methods to build a model given a dataset size of 3,158. Experiments reveal that among the six methods employed, gradient boosting proved to be superior having an accuracy of 94.17%, with an area under curve (AUC) of 99.40%, thereby achieving better performance of at most 4.2% higher than the other 5 methods. This study aids administrators in identifying at-risk learners and delivering targeted interventions to boost completion rates.
Nonsequential and Sequential Dual Detection Probe Lateral Flow Immunoassay Device for Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B Detection
Authors: Relox Paquito E. , Israel Katherine Ann C. , Hiruta Yuki , Citterio Daniel
Published: January 2025

Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) are among the leading causes of foodborne illnesses in the Philippines. Rapid and sensitive detection of these toxins in food, particularly staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) – the most potent type of SE – is imperative. Rapid toxin detection can be achieved using a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) device. However, low sensitivity has been a persistent issue with LFIA devices. To develop an LFIA device with improved sensitivity, this study investigated the exclusive use of antibodies as biorecognition molecules in a dual-detection probe LFIA device format and the configuration of the LFIA device to release the probes nonsequentially and sequentially. The LFIA device was fitted with two layers of glass fiber sample pads, loaded separately with the two detection probes, and partially separated by a Scotch tape film. For the nonsequential LFIA device, the two sample pads were pretreated with blocking buffers containing the same sugar concentration, whereas for the sequential LFIA device, the two sample pads were pretreated with blocking buffers containing different sugar concentrations. When tested against a filtered, homogenized durian candy sample, the nonsequential LFIA device generated higher signal intensity than the sequential LFIA device. This result suggests that aggregation of the detection probes was superior to sequential binding in enhancing the signal of the LFIA device for SEB detection. The sensitivity of the nonsequential LFIA device at 5 ng/mL was two-fold higher compared to previous POCT LFIA devices for SEB detection in food samples.

The study investigated the impact of financial inclusion on poverty reduction among rural women in sub-Saharan Africa using Nigeria evidence during the period of 2001 to 2022. The research specifically examines the effect of volume of deposit with commercial, micro loan, e-banking (POS and ATM), and non-interest banking on poverty reduction. The result of a multiple regression analysis using Ordinary Least squared OLS) method carried out with data collected from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) which covering a period of 22 years (between 2001- 2022) shows that both e-banking and non-interest banking have serious positive link with financial inclusion and have made significant impact on poverty reduction in Nigeria. Also deposit with commercial banks and micro loans has link with financial inclusion but has made no significant impact positive or negative on poverty reduction in Nigeria. Hence, the study recommended that the Government and Central Bank of Nigeria as policy maker and regulatory authority should provide a policy framework that will address the financial exclusion of low-income group particularly in the rural areas.

Governments’ Deficits and Private Savings in Nigeria: An Empirical Analysis
Authors: Austin Ayodele Momodu , Victor Dr. Akidi , Emmanuel Okeme
Published: January 2025

This study explores effects of governments’ deficits measured as federal, state, local and quasi-fiscal on private sector savings in Nigeria over period, 1981 to 2022, utilizing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. The analysis undertook to ascertain significant implications for fiscal policy. The outcomes suggest nuanced short-term dynamics. Federal and state deficits exhibited positive lagged effects on private savings, indicating that the impacts of these deficits are not immediately realized but materialize over time. This delayed response could reflect changes in economic conditions i.e., higher interest rates or increased government spending, which may encourage private savings in later periods. Conversely, quasi-fiscal deficits showed substantial negative short-term impact on private deposits, suggests that contingent liabilities, like government-backed loans that default can induce financial instability and diminish economy-wide private sector confidence. Over the long run, the results showed negative association by federal and state deficits with private sector savings, driven by concerns over fiscal sustainability and the crowding-out effect of increased government borrowing. However, local government deficits are positively correlated with private savings, possibly due to their more localized economic impact. Interestingly, while quasi-fiscal deficits harm private savings in the short term, they are associated with higher private savings in the long run. This may be due to the stabilization of financial systems and liquidity improvements over time. With the model explaining 78% of the variation in private savings, the study underscores the importance of managing fiscal deficits prudently while promoting local government-driven economic growth to foster private savings in Nigeria.

Adolescent problems related to reproductive health are often caused by a lack of knowledge among adolescents (students) in obtaining accurate information about reproductive health, both from family and school. This is due to the social stigma related to sexual education, preventing teenagers from looking for the right information. Reproductive health issues are still considered taboo and embarrassing to discuss. The activity of providing adolescent reproductive health education is carried out as an effort to provide a correct understanding of reproductive health. Reproductive health for Al-Azhar BSD High School students, Cileungsi District, Bogor Regency, West Java. The method of implementing the activities is carried out face-to-face in the form of lectures and interactive discussions using computer projection media in the form of power points, educational videos, and visual aids (phantoms). Community service activities have been successfully carried out with 197 young men and women participating. Evaluation of results is carried out by assessing the enthusiasm and activeness of participants during outreach activities, both during material explanations and interactive discussion and question and answer sessions. Participants are expected not to be embarrassed when discussing reproductive health in the future so that if there are reproductive health problems they can be examined and treated more optimally. It is necessary to plan a follow-up plan for this community service activity in the form of other education that suits the needs of teenagers.

The heating of residential and commercial premises in urban areas during winter periods is mostly performed by use of the heat energy which is distributed through central or city heating systems. Water, steam and gas are used as the basic working media in these heating systems. The thermal energy that is used in the city of Kakanj and its surrounding
settlements is produced in the Thermal Power Plant Kakanj and then delivered to the final consumers, which are usually located at relatively large distances from the heat source.
This paper describes the district heating system in Kakanj and the process
of heat energy distribution carried out by JP „Grijanje“ d.o.o. Kakanj.
ANALYSIS OF THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIES
Authors: Brdarević Safet , Arnaut Dino
Published: January 2025

In many countries, there is concern that enrolment in science and technology professions is decreasing and that more students need to be directed and interested in a career in science and technology. The reason why students do not choose science and technology studies is usually not about their abilities, but it is more related to student perceptions and attitudes about the attractiveness of subjects related to science and technology. Interest in science and technology studies is becoming an important issue given that more and more jobs in the field of science and technology remain empty, and technological trends create the need for new staff from science and technology disciplines every year. Numerous studies have shown that interest in science and technology has been declining with school years. Therefore, raising positive attitudes, motivation and interest in scientific and technological subjects becomes a key problem. This paperanalyses the number of enrolled students in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the period from 2009 to 2017. From the analysis, we conclude that among the most popular studies are the those of social and
humanistic sciences with a strong increase in the popularity of health studies, while studies related to natural sciences and technology have not yet gained the desired popularity. The aim of this research is to raise awareness of the neglect of encouraging studies in the field of technical sciences. Therefore, this research represents an introduction for future research on the attractiveness of technical studies.
METHODOLGY, TOOLS AND POSSIBILITIES OF STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF THE HOOK IN ASSEMBLY OF THE LOWER PULLEY IN CAD/CAE SYSTEM CATIA
Authors: Papić Sajfo , Hasanović Elida
Published: January 2025

This paper presents the methodology of the FEM modeling of the hook and provides a description of the possibility of tools of the module for structural analysis in the CAD / CAE CATIA system. The tools are described for defining: constraints, loads, shapes and types of contacts on the example of the hook, a lower pulley assembly, for which the FEM model is formed and a structural analysis is performed. The structural analysis in CATIA is performed using the finite element method, whereby the observed model is discretized, i.e., is divided into elements of finite dimensions which represent the basis of the observation. The stresses obtained by structural analysis in CATIA are compared with the values of stresses at the characteristic hook locations which are obtained analytically, and based on that, conclusions about the success of modeling and testing in CAD/CAE CATIA system are drawn out.
AN EXAMPLE OF CRANIOPLASTY WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY: A CASE REPORT
Authors: Spahić Denis , Bečulić Hakija
Published: January 2025

Cranioplasty is the surgical repair of a bone defect in the skull that is left behind after a severe injury or previous operation. It is usually done to protect underlying brain tissue, reduce local pain and to improve the cranial vault aesthetics. Cranial prostheses can be made from different types of materials: autologous bone, titanium, ceramics and polymers. Their production is costly and often requires complex intraoperative processes which sometimes cause poor aesthetic results in large and complex defects. Using a real case, this paper presents a customised polymethyl methacrylate implant production method which involves three dimensional reconstruction based on CT scans, technology of 3D printing and moldmaking
from dental plaster.

The study explored the advantages of combining medium-range enhanced exercise biomechanics with high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Using new technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), the research deepens biomechanical analysis techniques to enable instant feedback of athlete training data. The integration of biomechanical analysis is widely reflected in HIIT performance parameters, including speed change, endurance improvement, and overall exercise performance. In the process of technology intervention training, the virtual world environment shows a unique psychological auxiliary function, involving the enhancement of motivation, participation degree and psychological adjustment. The research data reveal that the meta-enhanced biomechanics technology has a good performance in improving sports performance and mental state, and this training mode is opening the innovative direction of sports training system.

This study explored the effectiveness of mandatory safety drills on Filipino seafarers' emergency preparedness and response. International Maritime Organization's (IMO) first pillar, the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), mandates these drills and their frequency which are believed to enhance crew competency when emergencies occur onboard the ship. However, the repetitive nature of some drills and the potential for human error during emergencies raise questions about their overall effectiveness. To investigate the Filipino seafarers' perspective on this topic, the researchers employed snowball sampling to survey fifty (50) seafarers from three Manila shipping companies. The target population comprised of seafarers between the ages of twenty (20) and sixty (60) with one (1) to thirty (30) years of experience at sea. Subsequently, the result of firefighting, enclosed space and rescue, and abandon ship drills have a positive impact on Filipino seafarers' safety skills. This shows that frequent drills absolutely improve and make seafarers more competent. Used mainly in emergencies, safety drills are highly lifesaving and saves others' lives by cultivating teamwork efficiency and collaboration. The result further showed that there is a significant relationship between the impact of conducting safety drills and the emergency response and preparedness of Filipino seafarers. The results brought potential benefits for shipping companies, maritime training institutions, maritime students, and policymakers.
