Perbaikan Tanah Lempung Dengan Penambahan Zat Aditif (Magnesium Chloride dan Semen)
Authors: Rodiah Firhansyah Fiisyatin , Nurdin Sukiman , Irdhiani Irdhiani
Published: October 2023

Sebagian besar wilayah Indonesia terdiri dari tanah lempung termasuk desa Tanamea, kecamatan Banawa Selatan, Kabupaten Donggala, Sulawesi Tengah. Tanah lempung merupakan tanah yang memiliki daya dukung rendah dan penurunan yang besar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan karakteristik mekanis tanah lempung sebelum dan setelah distabilisasi secara kimia dengan penambahan zat aditif. Dalam penelitian ini bahan stabilisator yang digunakan adalah Magnesium Chloride dan semen dengan variasi kadar campuran zat aditif 0%, 5%, 10%, dan 20% terhadap berat kering tanah lempung. Dalam penelitian ada 3 tahapan, 1.) pengujian sifat fisik tanah untuk menentukan klasifikasi tanah lempung. 2.) pengujian sifat mekanis tanah lempung, dan 3.) pengujian sifat mekanis tanah yang telah dicampur dengan zat aditif. Hasil pengujian sifat fisik tanah lempung menunjukkan bahwa tanah yang digunakan adalah tanah lempung organik dengan nilai LL > 50 yang termasuk dalam plastisitas rendah. Adapun pengujian mekanis tanah yang dilakukan yaitu, pemadatan, kuat tekan, pemampatan dan geser langsung. Hasil pengujian mekanis tanah menunjukkan penambahan campuran zat aditif dengan berbagai variasi kadar campuran pada tanah lempung organik, membuat nilai wopt cenderung menurun hingga 8,85% dan berat isi kering maksimum yang juga ikut menurun hingga 38,25%, meningkatkan nilai kuat tekan bebas tanah mencapai 56,21%, menurunkan nilai penurunan tanah, menurunkan nilai kohesi tanah lempung hingga 64,59%, serta meningkatkan nilai sudut gesek tanah lempung hingga 65,05%. Hal tersebut karena adanya proses sementasi, dimana air didalam pori-pori tanah akan mengikat zat aditif yang mengakibatkan terbentuknya butiran sedimen. Dari hasil penelitian, pencampuran zat aditif membuat tanah menjadi semakin ringan dan lebih padat, sehingga meningkatkan kekuatan tanah. Pada kadar campuran 10% zat aditif pada tanah diperoleh nilai kuat tekan yang terbesar dengan nilai wopt yang terkecil, serta nilai kohesi terendah dan nilai sudut gesek yang tertinggi dari pengujian

Language Teaching and Language Testing: Integrating Teaching and Testing in English as a Second Language Classrooms
Authors: Akintunde Abraham Femi
Published: October 2023

This paper examines Language Teaching and Language Testing: Integrating Teaching and Testing in English as a Second Language Classrooms. The paper discusses concept of language testing and purposes for language learning and language testing. This study reviews literature and gives a scholarly background to the study by reviewing some contributions made by various researchers and institutions on assessment in English Language instruction, standards in testing and ethics in language testing. An important part of this paper also explores practical classroom testing and assessment practice. The paper also highlights ways of integrating teaching and testing in English as a Second Language Classrooms. The major conclusion of the study is that while language testing has traditionally focused on sampling what students know (e.g., the rules of grammar or vocabulary in the language classroom), contemporary language teaching practice advocates assessing what students can do with the language and less on what they know. The paper then recommends that Classroom test should reinforce the learning that has taken place, not go out of their way to expose weakness. They can also help in deciding on changes for future teaching programmes where students do significantly worse in (parts of) the test than might have been expected.

Authors: Kengne Francis Barnabe , Simo Simo Michele Loirette , Mekongo Mbezele Therese Merline , Awono Jean Paul , Tagne Carine Fokam , Vogue Noel
Published: October 2023

Purpose: This study aimed at evaluating medical technologies used to manage malaria at Efoulan health’s district. Problem: With almost 3 million of confirmed cases per year, malaria is the disease that most affects Cameroonians. From March 2020, Cameroon witnessed the advent of massive cases of COVID-19, whose symptoms almost coincide with those of malaria, causing a mix of medical technologies meanwhile, populations and medical personnel are required not to get confused between malaria and Covid-19. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional qualitative study for analytical purposes at three levels of comparative analyzes (Malaria protocol, Malaria equipment, and Malaria drugs) using Anova and Pearson correlation. Results: Our study revealed that Malaria protocol in hospitals was moderately and positively correlated to WHO (2023) [1] guidelines at 41.8% [r(30) = .41.8, 95%, p = .019]. Malaria equipment found within the community were statistically significantly different (F(2, 96) = [10.688], p = 0.00) from those recommended by Long (2009) [2] (p = 0.001, 95% C.I. = [-2.01, -0.41]). Antimalarial drugs used within the community and in hospitals were respectively moderately positively correlated at 43.5% [r(20) = .435, 95%, p = .043] and highly positively correlated at 53.3% [r(20) = .533, 95%, p = .011] to WHO (2023) [1] guidelines. Conclusion: To strengthen malaria control, health education on complete malaria protocol must be carried out, first aid medical centers must be better equipped, drugs must be prescribed according to patient’s histories and pre-referral treatments must be applied within the community while integrating traditional concoctions into modern medicine.
Acceptability of Human Papillomavirus Vaccine by the Population of Two Health Districts in Yaounde-Cameroon
Authors: Nechi Ashley Kue , Kengne Francis Barnabe , Ngo Likeng Julienne Louise
Published: October 2023

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections with high oncogenic risk are responsible for 7.7% of cancers (mainly cervical cancer) in developing countries. Vaccination is considered to be one of the greatest public health successes, but despite its proven effectiveness, vaccination does not longer enjoy popular support, which leads to a coverage in terms of HPV vaccine almost non-existent. A descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in the health districts of Nkolndongo and Djoungolo, with the aim of analyzing the acceptability of Human Papillomavirus vaccine in these health districts. From a structured questionnaire administered to 330 parents and 32 Community health Workers (CHWs), we found an insufficient 33.6% moderate level of HPV vaccine acceptability, a statistical significant association between parents’ marital status and HPV vaccine acceptability (OR = 0.369; P value = 0.027; 95%; CI = [0.153, 0.890]), a statistically significant association between knowing someone with cervical cancer and accepting her child to get vaccinated against HPV (OR =0.409; P-value = 0.006; 95%; CI= [0.217; 0.769]), a statistically significant association between accepting HPV vaccine and agreeing to have her child vaccinated against HPV at 51.6%, and a statistically significant association between knowing that HPV vaccine was available in health facilities and its acceptability (OR=0.210; P-value = 0.021; 95%; CI = [0.056; 0.793]). To expand HPV vaccination coverage, various activities should be carried out among the population to improve their knowledge about cervical cancer and the availability of HPV vaccine. The focus should be on unmarried parents and parents engaged in a free union relationship. Health workers should use true life stories about cervical cancer as a means of raising awareness and the list of health facilities administrating HPV vaccine should be made known to the population.

The humerus of Brachiosaurus altithorax, part 2: the museum mount
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

As we noted yesterday, the humerus of the  Brachiosaurus altithorax  holotype FMNH P25107 is inconveniently embedded in a plaster jacket — but it wasn’t always. That’s very strange. I have an idea about that which I’ll come to later. Anyway, although the humerus is now half in a jacket and fully inside a cabinet, we can see it from all angles thanks to the cast that’s part of the mounted skeleton outside the Field Museum.

The grotesque in the story "Vitlo" by Dragiša Vasić
Authors: Suvajdžić Jovana
Published: October 2023

In contrast to the satirical grotesque in the story collection Utuljena kandila, the grotesque in Dragiša Vasić's story collection Vitlo appears with richer, more complex meanings and effects, including the funny and the uncanny. The story "Vitlo" contains a series of typical grotesque motifs (graveyard, night, disease, the excessive bodily aspects) and mechanisms (sudden re-signification involving relations of the known/unknown, idyllic/terrifying) that participate in the construction of the dominant twilight atmosphere. In the story "Vitlo", the narrator, however, does not delve into the mysteries of death, as it might seem after the first story fragment, but into the terrifying secrets of life. An aspect of vagueness or incomprehensibility colors the narrator's memories of an event from his childhood - riding a yard winch. In our interpretation, the moment of the forced ride on the winch turns out to be a moment of insight into the essential abandonment and alienation of the narrative subject, while the cross-eyed view from the moving winch reveals the strangeness of the previously intimately experienced world. The mentioned memory, therefore, introduces the grotesque as understood by Wolfgang Kaiser - as a special structure of reality - into Vasić's story. Although in the last fragment the narrator retreats from the most radical knowledge about the mentioned, grotesque structure of reality, and ends the narration with pantheistic worship of nature, this change of tonality remains in an unresolvable tension with the previous fragments.
Marketing aspect of the relationship between percipped quality of higher education service and students' loyalty
Authors: Macura Perica , Elez Nedeljka
Published: October 2023

The application of the marketing concept in higher education is specific. It implies a new approach to students as users of higher education services. The role of marketing is especially important in improving the quality of higher education services, which can increase students' loyalty and influence their future intentions. This paper, from the marketing aspect, provides the results of research on the relationship between the quality of higher education services and students' loyalty, using the SERVQUAL model to test the relationship between these two categories in higher education. The research was conducted on students of two public universities in Republic of Srpska. The results of the research show that there is a strong connection between all dimensions of perceived service quality and students' loyalty in higher education. The results obtained are significant for universities that want to compete in an uncertain market environment.
Aggressiveness of telemarketing
Authors: Džever Sanja , Vučenović Sonja , Lončar Miloš
Published: October 2023

During the past two decades the use of the telephone had been dramatically increased, while its possession and using are presented as almost as an imperative at the moment. Business entities are guided by the stated fact when creating communication strategies, so it is mostly treated as an inevitable instrument of direct marketing communication with the target audience. Therefore, the subject of the paper is direct marketing communication, with special reference to telemarketing. Although it has a wide range of strengths and advantages, a common objection to telemarketing is an overly aggressive approach which can decrease the level of customer satisfaction. Since the costumers are the center of marketing efforts, an aim of the research paper was to identify their attitudes about marketing campaigns via phone call and text message. The empirical research was conducted on the territory of the Republic of Serbia on a sample of 100 respondents. The analysis had been performed using Pearson's correlation test, after which the hypothesis H0 - "Interactive communication via telephone is perceived by consumers as aggressive" was confirmed. The results of the research indicated that consumer interest will decrease proportionally as the aggressiveness of direct interactive marketing grows in their consciousness.

Among these countries is the United Kingdom, which frequently refuses to grant foreigners either tourist or work visas. The purpose of the study is to examine the difficulties in obtaining British visas by citizens of the former Soviet Union and to formulate prospects for addressing them. The author used a range of general scientific and specialised research methods. The comparative method was used to compare the UK’s visa restrictions on citizens of different post-Soviet states. Structural-functional, historical, systemic, and institutional methods were also applied. The findings of the study include the identification of the key elements of the UK’s migration policy towards citizens of the former Soviet Union and an analysis of the prospects for visa liberalisation. Special attention was paid to changes in migration legislation after the United Kingdom left the European Union. The results of this study can be used in research and applied fields. It can also be applied by the state authorities of the former Soviet Union to build mechanisms for cooperation on migration issues with government structures in the UK. Furthermore, the paper will be of interest to researchers specialising in the study of migration and the British experience in this area
Assessment of the European Union's ability to accept refugees and descriptive characteristics of migration waves
Authors: Bozorgmehr Kayvan , Díaz Esperanza
Published: October 2023

For many years the problem of Ukrainian migration to other countries has been one of the most pressing issues in modern Ukraine. However, on February 24, 2022, the russian full-scale military invasion led to a phenomenon that the country has not seen since World War II – millions of people migrating. The research aims to formulate an assessment of the level of the European Union's ability to overcome the socio-economic challenge posed by the massive migration crisis. To achieve these goals, several general scientific methods were used, such as analysis, synthesis, and generalization, as well as elements of special scientific methods of sociological observation and expert evaluation. The research determined how quickly and organized the EU countries responded to the migration wave. The countries with the most migrants and the biggest problems for migrants in the EU are identified. The author substantiates how the migration wave may affect the EU economy. It is established that the military invasion of the russian federation led to the imposition of strict sanctions by the European Union against the aggressor state, and provoked a united response in the form of significant political, economic, financial, and military assistance to support Ukraine. It was described that the EU countries are hosting millions of Ukrainians to protect them from the war in Ukraine. The VI migration wave, which was caused by Ukrainian migrants to the European Union, was also described. The research results can be used in the process of conducting further sociological research on both the current stage of the existing migration crisis and in studies of general migration processes from the historical perspective. In addition, the analysis of the current experience of the EU countries allows for predicting the algorithm of necessary actions by the authorities in similar situations in the future, as well as providing practical recommendations to Ukrainians today

A Manifesto for the Just City: Volume 3
Authors:   Delft University of Technology, Rocco Roberto , Newton Caroline
Published: October 2023

This is the third volume in the "Manifesto for the Just City" series published by TU Delft OPEN Publishing. This is a project spearheaded by the Centre for the Just City at the Delft University of Technology. The Manifestos in this book endeavour to envision alternative, positive urban futures as a counterpoint to prevailing cynicism and political disillusionment. This exercise is largely based on the ideas of Professor Faranak Miraftab on practices of hope and decoloniality. The 81 Manifestos written by 313 students from 63 universities around the world come in the wake of a four-part workshop in October 2022, in which TU Deft together with its many partners, invites students from all over the world to listen to the accounts of leading academics and practitioners whose knowledge touches aspects of spatial justice and to articulate their own ideas for what makes the just city. The scholars invited in 2022 included Professor Faranak Miraftab from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, US, Professor Clarissa Freitas from the Federal University of Ceará in Fortaleza, Brazil, Dr. Gynna Millan Franco from the Universidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia, Professor Vanessa Castán Broto from the University of Sheffield in the UK and Professor Hiba Bou Akar from Columbia University in New York, US. Teachers from around the world who use the Manifesto as a class exercise have also contributed with short essays. The Centre for the Just City was set up at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at the Delft University of Technology in response to the pressing challenges of rampant social inequalities affecting the cohesion and the sustainability of cities and communities. Recognising the vital need to address these issues, the Centre emerged as a platform for research, education, and outreach activities for the creation of just cities. Since its inception, the Centre has been at the forefront of bridging theory and practice, fostering collaborations, and influencing policies and actions that contribute to making cities equitable, sustainable, and inclusive.

Authors: Bahaj Marisa
Published: October 2023

Hak asasi manusia merupakan sebuah hak fundamental yang diberikan oleh tuhan TME. Kepada sebuah individu yang disebut manusia. Hak asasi ini tidak diberikan dan dicampurtangani oleh pihak eksternal, karena HAM merupakan sebuah hak yang menjadi keharusan atau kodrati dari seorang manusia sejak ia lahir. Dalam hak dasar manusia, kita juga mengenal mengenai hak untuk tinggal di lingkungan yang sehat. Untuk mendapatkan lingkungan yang sehat, harus adanya sebuah rasa sadar diri untuk senantiasa selalu menjaga lingkungan hidup. Pelestarian lingkungan hidup dibutuhkan agar alam selalu Lestari dan terjaga, karena dalam praktisnya, manusia sangat berhubungan dan berkaitan satu sama lain dengan alam dan sangat membutuhkan alam sebagai tempat tinggal manusia, sehingga pelestarian lingkungan hidup juga berkaitan dengan Hak asasi manusia. Penelitian ini menggunakan studi kepustakaan dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif.

Authors: Triono Joko , Apriyanto Dhidik , Elyta Elyta , Siringo Tulus Gover , Lutfie Ratu Zahira
Published: October 2023

The high spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia has impacted various aspects of life, both social, cultural, and economic. To tackle the spread of COVID-19, the government has created a vaccination program to increase immunity against diseases due to COVID-19. The survey results by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia show that even though it is free, people who volunteer to be vaccinated against COVID-19 still need to meet expectations. Nationally, it is only 65%, while West Kalimantan is only 63%. In Kubu Raya Regency, up to August 2021, positive cases of COVID-19 reached 3,336 points; 71.82% of people who had received vaccine I got 71.82% and vaccine II only 47.67%. Service quality is one of the factors that can determine the success of the vaccination program. This research aims to define community expectations regarding the quality of COVID-19 vaccination services by Community Health Centers in the border areas of Kubu Raya Regency. The research method is quantitative, and data analysis uses the average method and Cartesian diagrams. The research results show that the COVID-19 vaccination service in Kubu Raya Regency uses a pick-up and drop-off model, meaning that the service needs to be carried out at the Community Health Center. Still, officers go to the community with elementary requirements. The COVID-19 vaccination service is carried out at the Village Hall. Officer services still need to be entirely in line with community expectations. The public expects excellent service quality; the quality of COVID-19 vaccination services is still in the good category.
