Authors: Sumarno Fauziah , Peni Nur Robiah Nofikusumawati
Published: February 2025

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Penelitian dimulai dengan Research Question (RQ) yang membahas seberapa efektif model pembelajaran dan perbedaan signifikan antara pembelajaran kolaboratif ataupun kooperatif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis siswa. Kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data melalui database Google Scholar, berdasarkan proses evaluasi yang berkualitas. Hasil analisis dari dua puluh artikel terindeks S1-S6 menunjukkan bahwa, dibandingkan dengan model pembelajaran konvensional, model kolaboratif dan kooperatif meningkatkan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis (KPMM) siswa secara signifikan. Dalam beberapa artikel, model kolaboratif, yang menekankan interaksi siswa yang mendalam dan diskusi kelompok kecil yang heterogen, terbukti lebih efektif. Model kooperatif seperti TPS, STAD, dan NHT juga menunjukkan hasil yang baik dengan menekankan pemahaman siswa tentang bagaimana belajar berkelompok. Studi ini memberikan saran praktis bagi guru untuk menerapkan kedua model pembelajaran ini sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan tujuan pembelajaran. Untuk meningkatkan KPMM siswa, kombinasi model kolaboratif dan kooperatif dapat menjadi pendekatan yang efektif. Penelitian lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk mengetahui bagaimana kedua model ini dapat diterapkan pada mata pelajaran matematika lainnya dan pada berbagai jenjang pendidikan.
Learning from Learning Loss: Bayesian Updating in Academic Universal Screening During Learning Disruptions
Authors: Hall Garret , Doyle Emma
Published: February 2025

We used Bayesian ordinal regression methods to examine the sensitivity of reading and math screening accuracy before and following learning disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a Bayesian updating procedure in which model estimates from previous years are used as Bayesian priors in following years, we find that reading and math screening accuracy was similarly predictive before and following COVID-19 prolonged unplanned school closures (PUSCs) and subsequent learning disruptions (odds ratios range across years: 15-25). We additionally find that this predictive accuracy varied across grade levels, but this grade variation was insensitive to learning disruptions. These findings demonstrate the practical applicability of Bayesian updating to universal screening accuracy, particularly in the context of PUSCs or other learning disruptions that may impact student academic needs. Limitations and future directions for Bayesian methods in screening are discussed.
Réinventer notre attachement au vivant : une ambition poéthique
Authors: Bourne-Taylor Carole
Published: February 2025

Le plaidoyer pour le vivant est au cœur de la pensée politique, juridique, philosophique et écologique. Dans ce contexte de maturation théorique et de retentissement médiatique du vivant, la poésie a, elle aussi, son mot à dire et un son à rendre. Pratique voyante qui œuvre à notre attachement au vivant en lui donnant voix et visibilité, la poéthique (telle qu’elle a été conçue par Michel Deguy et Jean-Claude-Pinson) se fixe pour mission de relancer la réflexion sur « l’habitation poétique » par l’entremise, entre autres, d’un « avoir lieu » (Emmanuel Merle) sensoriel et mémoriel. L’ambition poéthique passe par une parole qui sache « stimuler les imaginaires » (Patrick Chamoiseau). Cette approche éthico-phénoménologique dans le sillage de Gaston Bachelard et Gilbert Durand se propose de réhabiliter un certain exercice de la poésie (telle que la pratiquent Emmanuel Merle et Jean-Pierre Chambon et, en amont, Yves Bonnefoy) comme compagne de route indispensable de la science et de la philosophie : il s’agit de cultiver l’attention, l’émotion et l’émerveillement et de nous sensibiliser à nos « géosolidarités » (Olivier Remaud) afin que vigilance puisse rimer avec espérance. « C’est tout un poème », dirait Michel Deguy…
Des shinigamis et des hommes : entrelacements des représentations culturelles dans le manga Death Note
Authors: Pelissier Clément
Published: February 2025

Les mangas reflètent souvent l’attrait de la culture japonaise à croiser les spiritualités et les inspirations culturelles dans un phénomène de syncrétisme largement admis dans la fiction comme dans le quotidien. Death Note (Ohba & Obata, 2004-2006) constitue un exemple efficace de ce phénomène. Le récit raconte comment un carnet venu des cieux permet à celui qui écrit dans ses pages de tuer n’importe quel humain. Quand il en use pour sa gloire, le jeune Light Yagami ne tarde pas à rencontrer les dieux de la mort (shinigamis) directement liés à ce terrible objet. La présence de ces créatures et les apparitions ponctuelles de leur monde dans le récit nous conduisent à proposer dans cette étude un commentaire de différentes influences spirituelles, contemporaines ou traditionnelles, qui auraient pu inspirer les auteurs de Death Note. La démarche de récréation qui en découle au service de leur propre récit participe sans nul doute au succès de cette œuvre, aussi bien au Japon que dans le monde entier.
Folklore, religion et politique. Les différentes facettes de Noruz (« le jour nouveau », la nouvelle année) en Iran et au Moyen-Orient
Authors: Bromberger Christian
Published: February 2025

Noruz, la nouvelle année dans le monde iranien, correspond à l’équinoxe de printemps. Les rites et festivités auxquels donne lieu cette fête en Iran sont ici décrits. Mais célébrer la nouvelle année à une date fixe selon un calendrier solaire s’oppose aux usages du monde musulman régis par un calendrier lunaire. La coutume de la fête est d’autant plus remise en cause quand l’équinoxe de printemps et ses manifestations joyeuses correspondent à un rituel de deuil, comme ce fut le cas en 2006. La célébration de Noruz fut également prohibée sous le régime soviétique et l’une des premières mesures prises par les nouvelles républiques moyen-orientales fut son rétablissement. En Turquie, cette fête prisée par les Kurdes et les Alévis fut l’objet d’une réinterprétation, valorisant l’esprit patriotique.

Quantum Computing For Financial Systems
Authors: Uppaluri Prudhvi
Published: February 2025

This research aims at determining the use of
quantum computing on financial structures, mainly
pertaining to portfolio, derivatives, Monte Carlo
assessments, and risk analyses. The problems
appear within the context of the continually
development of the financial industry where the
usage of the classic methods when solving the
problems associated with large data set and the
application of complex models can be slow. There
are two types of quantum computations: the first is
a classical computation that uses an approach very
close to a Turing machine; the second is quantum
parallelism that enables a system to compute an
unlimited number of possibilities simultaneously
and will not suffer from these limitations. The
study points out that there are several application
areas where quantum algorithms provide solutions
better than classical ones, for instance, in cutting
computational time for portfolio, and providing
better solution in derivative pricing. Applying
quantum algorithms, financial systems can provide
increased precision and liabilities management, as
well as improved decision making. The paper also
discusses future applications of quantum
computing in fraud and security detection, which
would both significantly benefit from quantum
methods. A still experimental field, the
optimisation study does show that Quantum could
bring significant changes in the techniques used by
the financial industry to address its most critical
issues
Investigating the Effects of Metakaolin Blended With Sugarcane Bagasse Ash and Rice Husk Ash Based Geopolymer on the Engineering Properties of Geopolymer Concrete
Authors: Isah Mohammed
Published: February 2025

Concrete is a major construction material, that is
largely made up of cement; however, its high cost
and ecological unsustainability has been a source of
concern over the years in construction industry. In
recent years, innovative cementitious materials that
can be used as an alternative for ordinary Portland
cement (OPC) with improved performance and
emission, are locally source to reduce CO2
emission into the atmosphere during cement
production and high cost of cement in concrete
production. Therefore, geopolymer is an innovative
and environmentally beneficial binder material that
was developed to reduce Portland cement‘s
harmful environmental consequences. Geopolymer
is one of the trending research areas in composite
materials; there are many areas in geopolymer that
unexplored still need to be explore. This study
investigates the effects of blended metakaolin
concrete produced with Sugarcane bagasse
ash(SCBA), Rice husk ash(RHA) and alkali
solution in concrete production. The optimum
percentage of Metakaolin replacement was
investigated and the concrete samples were tested
for strength, dry shrinkage and elastic modulus.
The effectiveness of two materials was examined
with Metakaolin in concrete. The percentage
replacement of MK with SCBA and RHA was at
50%, 60% and 70% respectively. The ]samples of
the concrete cubes were cured in ambient
temperature and aging period of 7, 14, 28 and
56days were used to cure the samples. The fresh,
mechanical properties, shrinkage and modulus of
elasticity of geopolymer were investigated.

Authors: B. Kalaiselvi B. Kalaiselvi , Chandu Mannepalle Sai , Narendra Maridhu , Deekshith Kumar Mannepalle
Published: February 2025

This research introduces an
advanced automated scanning tool for detecting
and analyzing SQL injection vulnerabilities in web
applications, addressing the critical need for robust
security testing mechanisms in modern web
development. The proposed tool employs
sophisticated dynamic analysis techniques
combined with machine learning algorithms to
automatically generate, execute, and validate SQL
injection attack vectors. By implementing a multilayered detection approach, the system first
identifies potential injection points through
comprehensive input parameter analysis, followed
by intelligent payload generation based on database
fingerprinting and contextual analysis. The tool
incorporates both syntactic and semantic analysis
of database responses to effectively distinguish
between successful and failed injection attempts,
significantly reducing false positives. Advanced
features include automated bypass techniques for
common defensive mechanisms, support for
multiple database management systems (MySQL,
PostgreSQL, Oracle, and MS-SQL), and intelligent
error pattern recognition. Experimental evaluation
conducted across 100 diverse web applications
demonstrated a 95% detection rate for known
vulnerabilities and an 85% success rate in
identifying previously undiscovered SQL injection
vulnerabilities. The tool's automated approach
significantly reduces the time and expertise
required for security testing, making it valuable for
both security professionals and development teams
implementing secure coding practices.
Additionally, the system generates detailed
vulnerability reports with remediation
recommendations, facilitating efficient security
patch implementation. Performance analysis shows
that the tool can scan complex web applications
with minimal impact on system resources while
maintaining high accuracy in vulnerability
detection.
An Efficient and Secure Data Sharing Scheme for Edge-Enabled IoT
Authors: Reddy Pothireddy Sudheekar
Published: February 2025

The project proposes an Edge-based
Blockchain Secure Data Sharing Scheme (EBSDSS) to enhance the efficiency and security of
data transmission between IoT devices, edge
servers, and cloud servers, addressing latency and
security concerns inherent in traditional cloud
systems [1][6]. By utilizing edge servers that
receive data directly from IoT devices, the scheme
significantly reduces data transfer times, offering
better performance in comparison to centralized
cloud models [7][14]. The integration of
Blockchain technology ensures data integrity and
security by storing tamper-proof records through
hash-based transactions, aligning with blockchainbased secure data sharing models in IoT
environments [2][15]. To protect data, AES
symmetric encryption is employed, while Local
Sensitive Hashing (LSH) facilitates efficient and
rapid searches across Blockchain-stored IoT data,
ensuring quick access without compromising
security [16][18]. Furthermore, a certificate-less
signature scheme is introduced to verify the
authenticity of IoT devices and the data they share,
reducing the need for complex certificate
management [12][13]. Shamir’s secret sharing
scheme is used to enhance the security of
cryptographic keys, ensuring that sensitive data is
securely shared and stored, which aligns with
previous work on data security and privacy in IoT
systems [3][5]. As an extension, the project
introduces two enhancements: the use of Elliptic
Curve Cryptography (ECC) for more efficient
encryption, ensuring stronger security with smaller
key sizes [4][19], and the implementation of cache
memory to accelerate LSH search operations,
reducing the need for repeated searches for
identical queries [17]. This innovative approach not
only improves the overall efficiency and security of
IoT data sharing but also paves the way for more
resilient and responsive IoT applications across
various domains such as industrial IoT, healthcare,
and smart cities [20][8].

Authors: Omojogberun, Y. V Omojogberun, Y. V , Kareem, B Kareem, B , Adeyeri, M. K Adeyeri, M. K
Published: February 2025

Steam turbine is used for electricity generation in
most power plants throughout the world. The
parameters during operations are very important
since the safety and economy of the system
depends on its efficiency which is a function of the
material selection of the critical parts. Steam
turbines are majorly powered with steam from
steam generator fueled with coal. There is need to
research into other energy source like the
renewable energy in fuelling the steam generator as
well as considering the material selection for safety
and economy of the system. This research utilizes
the material consideration for the steam turbine
blade and rotor. Models were developed from
existing models for stress determination in order to
select appropriate material during design stage.
With design equations and analysis; the centrifugal
force, centrifugal stress, the thermal stress and area
thermal strain on the blade as well as the torque
and power on the rotor for both empirical data and
real life experimental data were analyzed. The
results from empirical data for the centrifugal force
and stress are 683 N and 0.4563 MPa for a speed
of 3000 rpm using the blade dimensions of the
developed steam turbine while the torque and
power for the rotor are 0.8542kN-m and 758 kW
(using 3000 rpm) for 20 mm rotor shaft diameter.
Also, for real-life experimental data, using the
average speed of 3290 rpm for the last four trials,
the torque and power are 2.413 kN-m and 831.85
kW respectively. The blade bending stress was
found to be 193.413 MPa for fluctuation and
228.529 MPa for vibration which is lower than the
shear stress of the material used. The outcome of
the bending stress under vibration Sabp (228.59
MPa) is lesser than the ultimate shear stress (375
MPa) of stainless steel 304 grade, therefore the
material can be considered for steam turbine blade
and rotor. The models can be used for possible
stress determination during design stage for steam
turbine.

Baul Music as Oral Tradition of Bengal
Authors: Bhattacharyya Dr.Susmita
Published: February 2025

Bengal has glorious tradition of music from time immemorial. Baul songs stand at the apex of indigenous musical hierarchy of Bengal. The presence of Baul songs was marked from around 15th Century. This is well known as a specific genre of mystic music. The study is based on secondary data. This is an attempt of analyzing collected documents on this issue. Several researches have done on this subject. Here the present researcher is only concerned about Baul songs in Bengal. The relevant information is collected from the research works completed previously. The objectives of the paper are – 1] to analyse the nature of Baul songs as oral tradition and 2] to discuss the nature of the songs. Baul songs are holistic representation of face to face communication. Some clear aspects are prominently noted in this context like socio- cultural perspective, constructive orientation and deconstructive focus.
A perfect classification of oral tradition based on form, content and function is hardly possible. Different scholars have given different categories of oral tradition. E.Bernheim distinguishes between the following categories of oral traditions: narratives, legends, anecdotes, proverbs and historical lays. Baul song is not simply an instrument for the amusement of masses. It should be considered as a subject of serious study. This genre of music bears the most valuable features of folk tradition. The recognized and celebrated component of Baul songs are anonymous and collective creation.

Low-loss visible-light photonic circuits are crucial for high-performance photonic quantum processors. By using aluminum oxide (Al2O3) for its low visible-light absorption, we achieved waveguides exhibiting an exceptionally low propagation loss (1.39 dB/cm for the transverse electric mode) at red-light wavelengths. Directional coupler beam splitters fabricated using this platform exhibited good controllability of the optical splitting ratios. Furthermore, we fabricated a half beam splitter, which is an essential component of entangled photon generation in quantum optics. These results represent a significant advance toward developing low-loss photonic circuits, paving the way for improved performance in photonic quantum processors.

This study analyzes the role and function of Bank BNI in improving the community's economy through a credit system. With a qualitative approach based on interviews, this study aims to explain Bank BNI's contribution to economic growth, especially in rural areas. The results show that Bank BNI plays an important role as a financial intermediary by channeling credit to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs). However, obstacles such as geographical distance and lack of public understanding of the credit process are challenges in the effectiveness of distribution. To overcome this, it is recommended that there be public education, improved service quality, and digital banking innovation. This study concludes that effective credit distribution has a significant impact on economic stability. Suggestions are aimed at improving customer service and community empowerment programs to maximize the benefits of the credit provided. These efforts are important to support sustainable economic growth, especially in areas that are still lagging behind.
