Literasi anak di Indonesia masih sangat rendah. Salah satu kemampuan literasi yang rendah adalah literasi financial atau  keuangan. Berdasarkan Survei Nasional Literasi dan Inklusi keuangan mengenai pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan keyakinan yang mempengaruhi sikap dan perilaku untuk meningkatkan kualitas pengambilan keputusan dan pengelolaan keuangan dalam rangka mencapai kesejahteraan masih memiliki angka yang sangat rendah yaitu sebesar 38,03% (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan 2019). Akibat tidak adanya pemahaman literasi finansial sejak dini membuat masyarakat Indonesia tidak siap menghadapi tantangan global yang ada. Literasi financial pada anak usia dini adalah literasi keuangan yang tidak hanya pengenalan uang dan nominal saja, namun pemahaman sebuah konsep mengelola keuangan secara tepat dan bijak. Hal yang perlu ditanamkan sejak anak masih usia dini bahwa literasi keuangan adalah essential life skills yang perlu dimiliki karena kita dalam melakukan aktivitas hidup sehari-hari. Berdasarkan hasil wawancara serta observasi di Taman Kanak-kanak pada kelompok B ( usia 5-6 tahun) di TK Aisyiyah 1 Kota Bukittinggi tahun 2022 memperlihatkan bahwa literasi finansial anak rendah, hal ini terlihat dari: 1) : 1) 77,45% Anak belum mengenal konsep alat tukar (uang) 2) 85,35 % anak belum mampu mengenal nominal uang. 3) 78, 47% Anak belum mampu melakukan transaksi dengan uang.  4) 86,25% Anak belum tertarik dalam kegiatan menabung. 5) 87% Guru belum mampu merancang kegiatan sesuai dengan kebutuhan anak, sehingga anak tidak tertarik untuk mengenal uang, transaksi jual beli serta menabung.

Authors: Danilin Vyacheslav I. , Zhdanov Dmitriy A.
Published: January 2024

The article presents the theoretical and methodological results of modeling the economic activity of enterprises, obtained in the Laboratory of Methods and Mechanisms of Enterprise Management of the Central Economics and Mathematics Institute, the Russian Academy of Sciences from 1963 to the present, and shows the meaningful logic of the development of scientific research data in their chronological sequence. Initially, research in the Laboratory began to be carried out in two directions: a) methodology for creating automated control systems in enterprises and industries; b) economic and mathematical modeling of production plans. Within the framework of the first direction, methodological materials were first developed that determine the composition of automated management systems for enterprises with a discrete nature of production. Within the second, the main one, economic and mathematical tools for making planning decisions by enterprises were developed based on complexes of multi-level models, where special attention is paid to the vertical and horizontal coordination of planning decisions using systems of economic and mathematical models. Work related to economic and mathematical modeling of planned activities at different levels of management in an enterprise continues to the present day. In the last decade, the range of research of the Laboratory has expanded, and new, urgent tasks of rationalizing the activities of domestic enterprises have been added to the traditional areas. In particular, the tasks of structural transformation of vertically connected industries; mechanisms for establishing productive inter-company cooperation ties; ways to rationalize enterprise management in the context of digital transformation; measures to activate the human capital of enterprises. The presented results allow us to assert that the Laboratory remains among the active developers of economic and mathematical models for managing domestic production enterprises.

Published: January 2024

An entomopathogenic bacterium isolated from the nematode, Rhabditis (Oscheius) sp. was found to produce secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity. The bacterium isolated from the entomopathogenic nematode was identified as Enterobacter sp. by using biochemical and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Media for the production of the bioactive metabolites were standardized with six carbon sources viz. glycerol, maltose, fructose, glucose, sucrose and lactose, and four nitrogen sources viz. tryptone, yeast extract, beef extract and peptone. Antimicrobial activity was found highest for culture filtrate solvent extract (CFSE) obtained from tryptone plus glycerol (T+G) combination. Addition of peptone to the media, irrespective of carbon sources, had the least antimicrobial activity. Fermentation with tryptone plus glycerol medium when carried out at temperature ranging from 25 to 40ºC, the highest antimicrobial activity was observed at 37ºC.

Published: January 2024

Facial skin pigmentation is one of the most prominent visible features in everyday interactions and often influences the perception of beauty. There is currently no evidence on how facial pigmentation spots can influence aesthetic perception. The objective was to evaluate the perception of aesthetics and the attractiveness of smiling photos with the presence of facial pigmentation spots in different locations on the face. Four images of the smiling face were used in the frontal pattern, standardized and modified with the help of Photoshop®: no pigmentation spots, spots below the right perioral region, above the upper left perioral region, and in both the lower right region and upper left region of the face. The Eye-tribe hardware and Ogama software were used for eye-tracking, and a questionnaire with two questions — “Judging aesthetic aspects, do you consider this person attractive and beautiful?” and “What stood out the most about this image?” were applied to laypeople observers with a word cloud typed on the Mentimeter. The dot maps showed that in all pigmentation spots positions, the right eye and the smile in the area of the central incisors attracted the most attention of laypeople. The smile was the most cited, with emphasis on the words 'eyes' and 'teeth' in Mentimeter. Facial pigmentation spots in different locations did not interfere with aesthetic perception. The face without the presence of nevi was considered the most attractive, and the smile, teeth, and eyes were the structures that most caught the attention of the laypeople.

Authors: Mammadova A.
Published: January 2024

In the development of poultry farming in Azerbaijan, there are big changes in the microclimate indicators in the building due to the rise in temperature in the summer months. The variability in the microclimate, in turn, affects the productivity of the birds and the blood-biochemical indicators. The research work was carried out on White Texas, Pharaoh meat-oriented quails in laboratory no. 23 of the Anatomy, Pathoanatomy and Pathophysiology department of the Azerbaijan State Agrarian Univer­sity’s training and practice center for quail breeding. The experiment was carried out mainly in hot summer days depending on the air temperature, and during the experiment, the indicators formed in the homeostasis of the quails along with their productivity were clarified. In order to investigate the reasons preventing high yield from White Texas, Pharaoh quails during temperature stress, we aimed to study the factors affecting their homeostasis along with studying other factors. In the article, a change in the feed ration of quails was made in order to avoid the negative factors created in homeostasis caused by temperature stress which occurs frequently among quails in the summer months. It is better to keep full-grown quails in cages under the shed during the warm months. We reduced the amount of corn, wheat and barley used in the ration and replaced it with other non-traditional feeds determining the period in advance when temperature stress will increase. To prevent changes in homeostasis, acorn flour from non-traditional forages was used in the feed ration. This feed supplement-acorn flour was applied to each quail per a day in order to increase temperature tolerance during temperature stress.

PEMBENTUKAN GELAS KERAMIK LITIUM ALUMINA SILIKAT BERBAHAN DASAR ZEOLIT ALAM PENJERAP KROMIUM MELALUI PROSES SINTERING
Authors: Purwanti Ani
Published: January 2024

Zeolit ​​alam terdiri dari mineral kuarsa, mordenit, dan klinoptilolit. Setiap jenis zeolit mempunyai kegunaan yang berbeda-beda, antara lain sebagai adsorben dalam proses adsorpsi limbah kromium. Zeolit ​​yang telah jenuh dengan limbah kromium dapat digunakan sebagai bahan baku pembuatan gelas keramik, karena zeolit ​​alam mengandung banyak oksida gelas seperti alumina-silikat. Penambahan bahan pembentuk gelas seperti litium dan kemudian dipanaskan pada temperatur yang tinggi, zeolit alam berubah fase menjadi gelas keramik litium alumina silikat melalui langkah vitrifikasi, sintering gelas, dan kristalisasi. Pada penelitian ini dibuat gelas keramik lithium alumina silicate (LAS) dari campuran bahan padat zeolit, LiSO4.H2O dan TiO2, serta kulet lunak melalui proses vitrifikasi selama 4 jam pada 1200°C. Sedangkan proses sintering pada suhu 650-665°C dengan variasi laju pemanasan 1°C/menit, 3°C/menit dan 5°C/menit. Selama proses sintering, pemanjangan sampel dapat dilihat dalam alat dilatometer, sedangkan laju penyusutan dihitung dengan  membandingkan pemanjangan dengan panjang sampel pada awal proses sintering. Beberapa kesimpulan dapat ditarik dari hasil penelitian, antara lain bahwa zeolit ​​alam yang telah jenuh dengan limbah kromium dapat dibuat menjadi gelas keramik LAS dengan menambahkan oksida Li2O, TiO2, serta kulet lunak. Pada produksi gelas keramik, proses sintering dilakukan pada suhu 650°C, 655oC, 660oC, dan 665 °C dengan laju pemanasan sebesar 1°C/menit, 3°C/menit dan 5°C/menit. Pada kisaran suhu tersebut, penyusutan yang terjadi meningkat seiring waktu.

The majority of periodontal visits in dental care to the population are made up of patients in the elderly age group (according to the WHO classification, these include persons 60–74 years old). Features of periodontal treatment of elderly people require a new approach to standard treatment regimens. In recent years, treatment with the «Vector» device (Dürr Dental, Germany) has found widespread use in periodontal consultations. The purpose of the study is to determine the volume of periodontal care for the elderly population in the State Medical Institution of the RO «SP» in Rostov-on-Don in dynamics from 2020 to 2022 using the «Vector» device. Results of the study: periodontal doctors performed ultrasonic removal of supragingival and subgingival dental plaque in the area of one tooth (using the Vector apparatus) in 2020, 1825 services, and in 2022 2562, which is 737 services more than in 2020, At the same time, 1241 services were performed for elderly people in 2020, and in 2022 there were 552 more services.

Conclusion: the use of the «Vector» device in addition to traditional treatment regimens for chronic generalized periodontitis in elderly patients accelerates periodontal recovery time.
Translation as a Foreign Language Proficiency Assessment Tool
Authors: Saab Al Muhaidib Nouriya
Published: January 2024

Objective: To determine if translation can be successfully used as Proficiency Assessment Tool for differentiating the proficiency level of English Second Language Learners (ELL). On the whole, most research into issues in translation concentrates only on one Area i.e. evaluation of translations of literary and sacred texts and little research has been done on translation as a proficiency assessment tool. In this study, First Year (N=30) and Fourth Year (N=30) English majors at King Faisal University, KSA were selected for the assessment. One paragraph each was randomly selected for English to Arabic translation and vice versa. Similarly 10 words each were randomly selected for English to Arabic translation and vice versa. Each group was given the same set of paragraph and vocabulary for translation. A Five-Point Scale was used for the criteria of evaluation of student translation, based on The CASAS Functional Written Assessment for Translation. Out of 30 first year students, 17% were high advanced ELL, 10% were low advanced ELL, 13% were high intermediate ELL, 17% were low intermediate ELL and 43% were beginning ELL. Out of 30 fourth year students, 20% were high advanced ELL, 30% were low advanced ELL, 30% were high intermediate ELL, 13% were low intermediate ELL and 7% were beginning ELL. Assessment in adult ESL is complicated by the fact that it requires measurement of skills in two domains: English language proficiency and literacy ability. The first year students are likely to have limited English skills and low proficiency so, as compared to fourth year students they are lowproficiency ESL Learners. The administered translation test was significantly (p value= 0.002) able to differentiate between the proficiency level of first year and fourth year students..
Assimilation Processes by Arab Learners of English1
Authors: M. S. Zuraiq Wael , H. M.Abu-Abbas Khaled
Published: January 2024

This study examines optional consonantal assimilation (harmony) processes as produced by Arab learners of English. Eight female learners were recruited and
assigned to four groups in accordance with their level of fluency. All Learners were asked to read target phrases in carrier sentences twice: the first reading was at slow
speech rate, and the second was at fast speech rate. It was predicted that Arab learners of English would apply assimilation at fast reading since Spoken Arabic does exhibit
similar consonantal assimilation at word edges. In general, the results show that Arab learners of English chose not to apply consonantal assimilation neither at slow speech
rate, predicted, nor at fast speech rate. Moreover, it was found that neither leanerfluency nor speech rate influenced the assimilation processes. The results are discussed
in the view of contrastive analysis approach..
An Existential Reading of Kanafani' sPlay The Door
Authors: Shuqair Khaled
Published: January 2024

For all the scholarly attention cntics have directed toward Kanafani' s fiction, little has been said of his drama. Kanafani wrote three plays: only one, The Door (al-Bab), was published during his life in 1964; the second, The Hat and the Prophet (al-Qubba 'ah wa al-Nabiyy), was published posthumously in 1973; and the third, A Bridge Forever (Jisr ila al­ 'Abad), Kanafani seems to have kept in manuscript (Jabra "Obsessions" 9). Considering his untimely death, the paucity of his dramatic production might be one reason why Kanafani' s plays did not receive attention from critics. Furthermore, the large body of fiction he had written and whose praises critics were already singing understandably eclipsed the few plays he wrote. For instance, The Door did not attract attention most probably because it was published shortly after the appearance of his widely celebrated novel Men in the Sun.
