Published: January 2021

In this thesis, the characterization of electrical porcelain insulators based on local clays has been investigated. Test samples were made by varying the quantities of feldspar and silica required to form a mouldable plastic body with each clay sample. The clay samples were bisque fired which is to 900°C and glazed before it was fired to 1250°C after air-drying. An electrical property such as dielectric strength (breakdown voltage) was determined for each test sample that survived the high temperature. The composition for optimum properties from Ekwulobia and Iva Valley clays each is at composition 3 of 60% clay, 25% feldspar and 15% silica; while for Nawfija clay, the composition for optimum properties was 50% clay, 30% feldspar and 20% silica. Porcelain insulators containing 50-70% clay, 20-30% feldspar and 10-20% silica were found to have requisite properties that make them suitable for domestic production of porcelains insulators from the clay samples studied.

Published: January 2021

This study investigated the effects of drought stress on the physiological and biochemical responses of the medicinal and aromatic plant Hypericum perforatum (St. John’s Wort). Changes were determined in leaf length, relative water content (RWC), osmotic potential, chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm), lipid peroxidation (TBARS), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and proline content as well as in the antioxidant system enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutathione reductase (GR). These responses were examined in relation to the tolerance of drought stress in H. perforatum. Ninety-day-old seedlings were subjected to drought for three weeks. The physiological parameters of leaf length, RWC, Fv/Fm, and osmotic potential were reduced under drought. The H2O2, TBARS, and proline levels were increased significantly under drought stress. Moreover, the proline content increase was greatly pronounced (25.9-fold) compared to the control groups. The high accumulation of proline may have resulted from the 83.8% leaf RWC still remaining under drought stress. On the other hand, the SOD, CAT, and GR enzyme activities were enhanced, whereas the POX and APX activities were reduced. The results indicate that improved tolerance to drought stress in H. perforatum plants may be accomplished through increased capacity of the antioxidative defense system

This study aims to examine the readiness and feasibility of supporting components in the midst of the designation of the Balun Village as the Pancasila Village and the Religious Tourism District of Lamongan Regency. Cultural attractions offered are the Mbah Alun Graveyard Site and the value of pluralism of religious community life in Balun Village. The study used a qualitative method with a descriptive analytic and participatory rural appraisal (PRA) approach. Data collection techniques in the form of narratives sourced from several informants, secondary statistical data, and field documentation. The results of the study indicate that the readiness represented in component 3A, namely: Attractions, in the form of cultural attractions either physical or tangible (pilgrimage sites) and non-physical or intangible (values of pluralism of society / diversity and religious festivals) have been owned and run for decades; Accessibility in the form of distance to Balun Village from strategic points relatively close (2-5 km) and road infrastructure conditions, as well as; Amenities and additional supporting elements in the form of services and other supporting services available such as accommodation for tourists, restaurants and culinary centers, souvenir centers, transportation points and access close to the main road. Another development that needs to be done is improvement in terms of accessibility considering the opportunity of arrival at the Balun Village Pilgrimage Site jumped dramatically on certain religious holidays.
Nakhon Si Thammarat Muslim Business Club: Managing Da'wah and Entrepreneurship among Muslim Minorities in the Southern Thailand
Authors: Kusuma Bayu Mitra A.
Published: January 2021

Pattani is not a single representation of the Islamic existence in Thailand, because in reality Muslim societies have been living in various regions. One place where Muslim societies can form new identities is in the Nakhon Si Thammarat province, where they are able to transform into an adaptive and highly competitive group. To examine more deeply this phenomenon, this study uses a type of qualitative research with a descriptive approach, and emphasizes the interactive data analysis of the Miles and Huberman models. The results of field research show that one of the manifestations of Muslim existence is to establish Nakhon Si Thammarat Muslim Business Club (NMBC). In its existence, NMBC has two main functions: First, to bridge and unite the power of Muslim entrepreneurs from micro to large scale. Secondly, to become a da’wah institution on Islamic philanthropy based on the belief that the more charity, the more business will develop. NMBC gives direction to the development of Muslim entrepreneurship in two ways: First, positioning the majority group as partners, not competitors. Second, to strengthen the Blue Ocean strategy in which Muslim entrepreneurs must find new business sector gaps that are not controlled by the majority group.
The review of the relationship between UCP2 and obesity: Focusing on inflammatory-obesity
Authors: Sara Moradi , Yaser Khaje-Bishak , Maedeh Alipour , Mohamadreza Alivand , Beitullah Alipour
Published: January 2021

Obesity is rising worldwide, and the inflammatory disease increased in parallel. Many studies demonstrate excess fat mass is an indicator of obesity. As much as lipid increased in the cell, ROS production increased. On the other hand, ROS could enhance lipid storage and increased adiposity. So obesity and inflammation have a reciprocal relationship. Uncoupling protein2 (UCP2) could control the metabolism of energy, adipose tissue, and weight management. Also, UCP2 decreased ROS, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Therefore, as metabolism-related to oxidative stress and inflammatory status, and by considering the modulatory contribution of UCP2 in inflammation; it seems UCP2 could link obesity and inflammation. This study aims to review the studies about the association between UCP2 and obesity focusing on the inflammatory process linked to ROS. In conclusion, as the results contradict the association between UCP2 as the center of metabolism and obesity, obesity-related hormones, and oxidative stress, further studies in human trials are recommended.

Authors: Seun Samuel Owoeye  , Segun Michael Abegunde  , Babatunde Oji
Published: January 2021

This present work aims at synthesizing sodium silicate solutions from selected industrial wastes (waste glass and rice husks) using hydrothermal method. The as-received waste glasses of different mix colors were initially washed, crushed and wet milled for several hours then sieved through 75µm mesh. The sieved recycled glasses were then oven dried at 110oC for 72 h to obtain a powdered glass (SLSG). Rice husks were also washed to remove dirt adherence and dried. The dried rice husks were thermally treated in a muffle furnace at 800oC for 1 h then left to cool to obtain whitish rice husk ash (RHA). Both SLSG and RHA were then reacted with NaOH solution at varying concentration of 3M, 4M and 5M respectively in a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask. The mixtures were heated with continuous stirring using a magnetic stirrer at temperatures of 150oC, 170oC and 200oC respectively for a reaction period of 4 h. Analyses were carried out on the synthesized sodium silicate solutions. The results obtained from the analyses showed sodium silicate synthesized from RHA possessed high viscosity while the SiO2/Na2O ratio showed they are commercial sodium disilicates which indicates the products are all sodium silicate solutions.

Published: January 2021

Lead is one of the heavy metal humans are often expose to either through food, cosmetics or environment. This study is aimed at investigating the positive effect of Solanum melongena (garden egg), Solanum lycopersicum (tomatoes) and Daucus carrots subsp.sativus (carrot) on blood glucose concentration, body weight, and feeding habits of albino rats on lead toxicity. In this study 35 albino rats weighing 80-120g were grouped into five. Group 1 served as normal control, group 2 negative control. The remaining three groups served as treatment groups 1, 2 and 3. All groups except group 1 (normal control) were administered 50mg/kg of lead acetate. Treatment groups were administered 200mg/kg of Solanum melongena (garden egg), Solanum lycopersicum (tomatoes) and Daucus carrots subsp.sativus (carrot). Group 3 was administered Solanum malongen and Daucus carrots subsp.sativus while group 4 was given Daucus carrots subsp.sativus and solanum lycopersicon. Group 5 was administered Solanum malongen, Daucus carrots subsp.sativus and Solanum lycopersicon. Changes in blood glucose concentration, body weight, feed and water consumption recorded at intervals. The result showed a significant decrease (P<0.05 and P<0.01) in blood glucose concentration in treatment groups compared to negative control. There was also significant increase (P>0.05, P>0.01 and P>0.001) in body weight and feed consumed in treatment groups compared to negative control. Combined therapy of any two of Solanum malongen, Daucus carrots subsp.sativus and Solanum lycopersicon juice can help in the management of hyperglycemia and reverse internal abnormality or injury resulting in weight loss in lead induced toxicity.

Vibrio is a group of bacteria that causes Vibriosis in many aquatic biota cultivated in ponds. This research aims to determine the type of the Vibrio sp. which causes vibriosis disease in white snapper reared in the marine cultivation ponds at the Center for Marine Cultivation Fisheries (CMCF) Lampung, Indonesia. The research was conducted using investigative method by isolating Vibrio bacteria from the organ in white snapper, mud, and water. The bacterial isolates were indentified using biochemical test. The reseach parameters are TPC (Total Plate Count) Vibrio sp., water temperature, pH, salinity, DO, BOD and ammonia. The results showed there were three types of isolates that are suspected as the Vibriosis bacteria in white snapper fish namely Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio alginolyticus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The three isolates obtained were known to be α-hemolysis. The enviromental quality parameters are as follows: water temperature of 29.8 °C, pH 7.8, salinity 33 psu, DO 4.4 mg / L, BOD 2.2 mg / L and ammonia 2.2 mg / L. The TPC-values of the bacteria Vibrio sp. isolated from the inlet, the main chambers, and the outlet of the pond are: <25 CFU/ ml, 7.6x104 CFU/ml, and 2.1x103 CFU/ml respectively. The levels of ammonia and calculation of TPC-values of Vibrio bacteria are exceeds the water quality standards for the fish farming.
Maternal allele mutation: Slippage synthesis furnishing evolutionary trend
Authors: Anand Kumar  , Rajesh Kumar  , RK Kumawat  , Ginni Kumawat
Published: January 2021

Gain or loss of repeat motifs leads to an allelic mismatch in the disputed child which is a deviation from the Mendelian inheritance, thereby leading to a paternal mismatch of putative father or exclusion of mother in case of maternal allelic mismatch. This allelic mismatch at one or more loci is a major cause of forensic inferences. The biological samples of the case were genotyped using Powerplex®- Fusion 5C system kit and Investigator® Argus X-12 QS kit as per recommendations of the manufacturer. In this case, identification of a putrefied dead body with 22 autosomal STR loci, primarily analyzed by Powerplex®- Fusion 5C system kit divulged a maternal mismatch at locus D13S317. Alleles at the locus D13S317 allegedly belonging to the father of the deceased and the mother were observed as 10/11, 11/11 and 10/10 respectively. To rule out allelic mismatch at this particular locus, 12 X-STR loci were amplified, in which all the maternal alleles of deceased completely matched with the mother. This case study indicates the extension of one microsatellite repeat motif (TATC) at locus D13S317 in the population of Rajasthan. The reported mutation rate was 0.14% and 0.04% at locus D13S317 in paternal and maternal meiosis respectively.

Contrast media are the materials utilized in radiology to improve the visualization of certain body structures subjected to analysis in a medical image. Contrast media are, then, diagnostic drugs because they increase the visibility of organs and tissues and allow the identification of details that otherwise could not be observed. With the introduction of multidetector computed tomography the number of patients undergoing contrast studies has grown exponentially in recent years. In computed tomography the formation of the radiographic image is obtained with the use of contrast media containing iodine atoms, exploiting the different attenuation that the X-ray beam presents in crossing the anatomical districts. The Iodinated Contrast Media (ICM) are a category of numerous substances formed by even complex molecules that vary considerably in their properties, uses and toxic effects. Even though iodinated contrast agents have a good safety profile, it is necessary to understand that some patients can have severe, life-threatening allergic reactions because of the side effects of the chemicals. This paper describes the clinical pharmacology, use and adverse reactions of intravenous iodinated contrast media used in computerized tomography, offering all doctors, even non-radiologists, the opportunity for rapid updating.

Fresh leaves of sorrel (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) are among the most consumed vegetables in the Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo). According to the literature, this vegetable shows the chemical variability depending on the culture area. Two varieties of this species, cultivated and consumed in Lubumbashi have not yet been studied for their micronutrient content, of which fruits and vegetables are the main sources. This study investigated the mineral and total flavonoid content of fresh leaves from red and green varieties of H. sabdariffa L., consumed as a vegetable in the aforementioned city. Fresh leaves of red and green variety of H. sabdariffa were purchased in 10 main markets of the Lubumbashi city. Gravimetric and spectrophotometric methods were used for analyzes of water, mineral and total flavonoids content. Three of the major mineral elements (Na, Ca, Mg) and several trace elements (Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, Se, Co, Cr) were found in both varieties in elevated quantity in leaves of red variety. These latter were marked by a high content of iron (7 mg/100 g of fresh material) and Manganese (600 µg/100 g of fresh material). Total flavonoids quantification revealed that the leaves of red variety have a high value (28.2 ± 0.3 mg Quercetin Equivalent per g of extract) in total flavonoids compared to the leaves of green variety. Fresh leaves of the red variety of H. Sabdariffa consumed in Lubumbashi could be a source of iron for adults and manganese for children.

Published: January 2021

The aim of this study was to investigate bacterial contamination on surfaces of randomly selected Automated Teller Machine and their sensitivity to antibiotics in São Paulo city, Brazil. The swabs collected aseptically were inoculated in selective and non-selective media in triplicate and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h. After Gram staining the isolated colonies, complementary biochemical tests were applied. The antibiotic sensitivity pattern of all isolates (15 Gram-positive bacteria and 7 Gram-negative bacteria) was determined using the Kirk Bauer method using chloramphenicol, clindamycin, norfloxacin, erythromycin, gentamicin and tetracycline diffusion discs. All ATM surfaces tested were contaminated with at least one genus of bacteria. The most frequently isolated bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus (64%), Enterococcus spp. (28%) and Acinetobacter spp. (21%), followed by coagulase-negative staphylococci (14%), Pseudomonas spp. in 12 (14%), Salmonella spp. (7%), Escherichia coli (7%). ATMs in the São Paulo metropolitan region were shown to be contaminated with bacteria that are resistant to the commonly used antibiotics. All Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria isolated were multidrug-resistant, however, the strains were sensitive (S) or showed an intermediate response profile (I) to tetracycline, with the exception of three strains of Pseudomonas spp., Acinetobacter spp. and Staphylococcus aureus, which were resistant to tetracycline. Norfloxacin and gentamicin showed resistance response profile to all bacteria. Based on these findings, it is recommended to perform hand washing and use of antiseptics after using ATMs.

Cilj
Cilj provedenog istraživanja bio je ispitati u kojoj mjeri studiji informacijskih znanosti / knjižničarstva  pripremaju studente za buduće poslove u knjižnicama odnosno u kojoj mjeri studijski programi, iz perspektive bivših studenata, osiguravaju potrebne kompetencije. To su ujedno i glavna istraživačka pitanja, a pretpostavka od koje se krenulo je da studiji osiguravaju kompetencije potrebne za knjižničarske poslove odnosno da ispitanici percipiraju kompetencije koje su dobili na studiju kao adekvatne za posao koji obavljaju.
Metodologija
Istraživanje je provedeno metodom ankete. Za potrebe istraživanja pripremljen je online anketni upitnik podijeljen u grupe pitanja: sociodemografski podaci; motivi upisa na studij informacijskih znanosti/knjižničarstva; podaci o zaposlenju; procjena kompetencija stečenih na studiju; alumni mreža; studentska praksa; članstvo i aktivnost u stručnim udruženjima. Upitnik je distribuiran alumni klubovima odnosno putem osobnih poznanstava bivših studenata.
Rezultati
Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju da je ukupna procjena dobivenih kompetencija ispitanika na studijima informacijskih znanosti/knjižničarstva relativno niska. Pojedine stavke poput prakse ocijenjene su i negativno što ukazuje na nezadovoljstvo pojedinim aspektima studija. S druge strane motivi upisa studenata na studije informacijskih znanosti/knjižničarstva većinom su pozitivni u smislu da su uglavnom upisivali studij u području kojim se žele baviti. Također zadovoljstvo poslom je relativno visoko.
Ograničenja
Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na raskorak između ishoda učenja i kompetencija koje se očekuju da će ih studenti imati završetkom studija i percepcije studenata o razini dobivenih kompetencija. No istraživanjem nije obuhvaćen aspekt ispitanikovih očekivanja. Osim toga, provedeno istraživanje nije uzelo u obzir uspješnost studenata tijekom studija što može biti dodatni faktor u generiranju raskoraka.   
Originalnost
Provedeno istraživanja ukazuje na potencijalni problem u pojedinim segmentima studijskih programa studija informacijskih znanosti / knjižničarstva obuhvaćenih istraživanjem. Rezultati mogu poslužiti za eliminaciju uočenih problema

Authors: Pavlović Marko , Juric Mate
Published: January 2021

Cilj. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi informacijske potrebe i čitateljske navike korisnika bibliobusa Gradske knjižnice Zadar, te njihovo zadovoljstvo postojećim uslugama i izborom građe koju nudi bibliobusna služba. Svrha je bila prikupiti povratne informacije korisnika kako bi se podržao nastavak usluga koje su korisnicima važne, uz moguća daljnja unaprjeđenja usluga.
     Pristup/metodologija/dizajn. Anketirano je 100 korisnika bibliobusa svih dobnih skupina tijekom ljeta 2019. godine, te su provedena dva intervjua s informatorima tijekom ljeta 2020. godine. Uzorkom su obuhvaćeni korisnici s otoka i priobalnih područja koje obilazi bibliobus br. 2 Gradske knjižnice Zadar.
     Rezultati. Dvije su glavne skupine korisnika bibliobusa: učenici i odrasle osobe. Učenici više posuđuju multimediju, zabavne i knjige o sportu, te čitaju dječje knjige, dok odrasli više posuđuju beletristiku i publicistiku. Zaposlene osobe i umirovljenici su uglavnom zadovoljni izborom knjiga, dok su učenici izrazito zadovoljni. Korisnici su izrazito zadovoljni uslugama knjižničara - informatora. Informatori prilagođavaju preporuke i dostupnost građe jer dobro poznaju potrebe većinom redovitih korisnika.
     Ograničenja. Uzorkom nije obuhvaćen bibliobus 1 koji u većoj mjeri obilazi kopneni dio Zadarske županije. Istraživanje je provedeno tijekom ljeta, a velik broj stajališta bibliobusa je uz škole koje su u tom periodu prazne.
     Praktična primjena. Unaprjeđenje i proširenje građe i usluga može se provesti na temelju prijedloga korisnika i podataka o razinama zadovoljstva pojedinim uslugama.
     Društveni značaj. Uvid u potrebe korisnika knjižnica u ruralnim područjima omogućuje nastavak brige za izjednačavanjem pristupa informacijama u ruralnim i urbanim područjima. Visoko zadovoljstvo korisnika potvrđuje nezamjenjivu ulogu bibliobusa Gradske knjižnice Zadar po pitanju pružanja usluga u županijskim naseljima koja nemaju stacioniranu knjižnicu.
     Originalnost/vrijednost. S obzirom da u Hrvatskoj ima malo sličnih istraživanja vezano za pokretne knjižnice, metodologija i rezultati rada mogu poslužiti i drugim bibliobusnim službama kao primjer dobre prakse, za ispitivanje potreba i zadovoljstva korisnika s ciljem unaprjeđenja rada službi.
Članak je nastao na temelju diplomskog rada studenta Marka Pavlovića pod naslovom Informacijske potrebe korisnika bibliobusa Gradske knjižnice Zadar, napisanog pod mentorskim vodstvom Mate Jurica i predstavlja njegovu prerađenu verziju koja obuhvaća i rezultate naknadno provedenih intervjua. Rad je obranjen na Sveučilištu u Zadru 20. siječnja 2020. godine.

Authors: Sedov Е. N. , Yanchuk T. V. , Korneeva S. А.
Published: January 2021

Large-scale and purposeful work on the development of new apple cultivars has been carried out at Russian Research Institute of Fruit Crop Breeding since 1956. Over a long period of time, 55 apple cultivars of different fruit maturation periods were created and included in the state register of breeding achievements approved for use (zoned). Apple cultivars with fruits capable of long-term storage in refrigerator are of particular interest. Cultivars fruits of which can store until mid-March or longer include zoned cultivars: Aleksandr Boiko, Den Pobedy, Kulikovskoe, Ministr Kisilev, Sinap Orlovsky, as well as Zhdanovskoe, which is passing state testing. The article provides a brief description of six cultivars and a more complete characteristic of new cultivar Zhdanovskoe. Triploid cultivar Sinap Orlovsky is included in the state register in four regions of Russia, Kulikovskoe – in three regions, Svezhest - in two regions while Aleksandr Boiko, Den Pobedy, Kulikovskoe and Ministr Kisilev are included in the state register only in the Central Chernozem region. Zhdanovskoe, which is passing state testing, is also of interest for industry. Its fruit are stored in the refrigerator till mid-March. Among the listed cultivars there are 5 triploid cultivars, including 2 triploid cultivars that are immune to scab. It is known that triploid cultivars are prone to more regular fruiting over the years and have larger and more marketable fruits, and the introduction of scab-immune cultivars into widespread production improves the environmental situation in the orchard and provides cleaner products. The primary task of breeding institutions and production is to give these cultivars a comprehensive assessment.

Published: January 2021

In the conditions of covered crop in Dagestan tomato ranks the first in terms of cultivation area and in the country it is the second place after cucumber. However, tomato production has not yet reached the level necessary to meet people’s need. Growing it allows solving the problem of import substitution, ensures a constant supply of fresh vegetable products and solves the problem of a balanced, complete nutrition human nutrition throughout the year. When studying vegetable crops in covered crop conditions were revealed both general provisions characteristic of any region and specific features depending on the complex of local natural conditions. The level of radiation, temperature, humidity, wind and snow loads leave a certain influence on the growing tomatoes technology, which makes the problem of developing scientifically grounded elements of technologies for their production, ensuring high yields of vegetable plants and environmentally safe out-of-season products. With a wide variety of soil and climatic conditions in Dagestan, territories with extreme natural contrasts, even within a single agroclimatic region, the features of light and other microclimate regimes require clarification of the most important elements of agricultural technology. One of the main components of tomato growing technology is timely protection against diseases and pests. In the absence of a system of protective measures yield losses can reach 50% or more. In this context, the assessment of new F1 hybrids in film greenhouses in the winter-autumn circulation was carried out, the most promising of them for the conditions of Dagestan were identified, and the main elements of their cultivation were developed. The article presents the results of the dynamics of the yield of the crop by months. The influence of sowing and planting dates on the tomatoes yield is shown, the optimal scheme of sowing and planting tomatoes is determined. A phenological calendar for plant protection was compiled. The prospects of growing the studied hybrids in this region have been substantiated. Обоснована перспективность выращивания изучаемых гибридов в данном регионе.
Early Childhood Education and Instructional Ecology: A Vygotskian Approach in Teaching Early Childhood Social Studies
Authors: Ofori-Attah Kwabena
Published: January 2021

This study guided by Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) theory explored the perception of pre-service teachers about the application of the ZPD in the classroom. Five participants, all junior students, were purposefully selected from a university in the southern region of the United States to participate in the study. Open-ended interview questions were designed from a review of the literature regarding the effectiveness of Vygotsky’s ZPD in the classroom. Axial coding was used to analyze the data for the final research report. A major finding from the study is that Vygotsky’s ZPD is recognized by Educator Preparatory Providers (EPPS) as a major instructional approach used to promote student achievement and that some pre-educator candidates perceive problems implementing this innovative form of teaching social studies in the early childhood classroom. Another significant finding from the study is that it extends our knowledge about the application of Vygotsky’s ZPD in the early childhood social studies classroom. Implications for early childhood teacher preparation and future research are considered in the paper.

Alice in Suicideland: Exploring the Suicidal Ideation Mechanism through the Sense of Connectedness and Help-Seeking Behaviors

On average, one person dies by suicide every 40 s. However, extant studies have largely focused on the risk factors for suicidal behaviors, not so much on the formation of suicidal thoughts. Therefore, we attempt to explain how suicidal thoughts arise and persist inside one’s mind using a multifiltering information mechanism called Mindsponge. Bayesian analysis with Hamiltonian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique was run on a dataset of multinational students (N = 268) of an international university in Japan. Item 9 in the PHQ-9 was used to survey suicidal ideation. The associations among four main variables, namely, (i) suicidal ideation, (ii) help-seeking willingness (informal and formal sources), (iii) sense of connectedness, and (iv) information inaccessibility (represented by being international students), were tested in four models. Sense of connectedness is negatively associated with suicidal ideation, but its effect becomes less impactful when interacting with international students. The impact of a sense of connectedness on informal help-seeking willingness (toward family members) among international students is also lessened. Informal help-seeking is negatively associated with suicidal ideation, whereas formal help is positive. The findings support our assumption on three fundamental conditions for preventing suicidal thoughts: (i) a high degree of belongingness, (ii) accessibility to help-related information, and (iii) healthy perceived cultural responses towards mental health. Therefore, systematically coordinated programs are necessary to effectively tackle suicidal ideation.

Published: January 2021

Gateway atau yang sering disebut juga dengan “Gerbang Jaringan” merupakan sebuah perangkat yang dapat memudahkan pengguna computer dan internet. Contoh penggunaan Gateway yang dapat kita lihat adalah pada Email. Seiring dengan semakin merebaknya penggunaan internet pengertian Gateway pun sering mengalami pegeseran makna. Banyak orang yang menyamakan Gateway dengan Router, tapi sebenarnya keduanya adalah perangkat yang berbeda. Gateway dapat digunakan dalam menghubungkan IBM SNA dengan digital SNA, Local Area Network (LAN) dengan Wide Area Network (WAN). NAT (Network Address Translation) adalah sebuah proses pemetaan alamat IP dimana perangkat jaringan computer akan memberikan alamat IP Public ke perangkat jaringan local sehingga banyak IP Private yang dapat mengakses IP Public.
