Based on the results of field studies carried out through observation activities in learning at Aisyiyah Bebekan Kindergarten, it was found that there was a phenomenon of children's critical thinking abilities that were not optimal when learning in the room watching videos. children can’t focus when learning in the room. The percentage obtained between students who responded and those who responded less during reflection was 10% and 90%. In the observations we have observed, the method used is the experimental quantitative method. Therefore, it can be seen that using this experimental method greatly influences the effectiveness of learning, because it could be that when the video is broadcast, the class situation is less stable, so that the child's focus on learning is not focused on one object, in other words, the child's level of focus is less. The high knowledge of children is caused by the teacher using media in the learning process, namely audio-visual media (video). using non-experimental methods on natural phenomena it is known that the theme of flooding is the inability of children to mention the causes and effects of flooding by 71%.
Stress Management: A Priority Developmental Need for University Students
Authors: ATİLLA BAL Esra
Published: January 2023

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the developmental needs of university students (N=103) supported by an NGO scholarship regarding employability related soft skills.

Methods: A question form prepared by the researcher based on the literature review of studies conducted to examine the developmental needs of university students regarding employability related soft skills (5,10). The form included questions about demographic information, students’ willingness level to join a training program to be conducted on each of these skills and their reasons for their prioritized developmental need. The survey method was used in the study. Descriptive statistical analyses and the content analysis technique were used in data analysis.

Results: The results revealed that the students had a high developmental need (X̅=4,07 out of 5) on all soft skills. The skill which the students prioritized as a developmental need was stress management (X̅=4,25). Students’ discourses revealed that their need to develop their stress management skills stemmed from the need to cope with the internal/external sources of stress as well as its behavioral, physiological, cognitive and emotional symptoms and the need to support their career development. Moreover, it was seen that students who were enrolled in Health Sciences related faculties had a lower willingness level to join a training program to be conducted on these skills compared to those enrolled at Engineering/Architecture and Other faculties.

Conclusion: The results point out that students have a high willingness level to develop all soft skills. Yet, the findings especially call attention to the elevated need of students to develop their stress management skills. It was also seen that students’ willingness to develop their skills varied by faculty type.

MRIQC (Esteban et al. 2017) is a tool to help researchers perform quality control (QC) on their structural and functional MRI data. Not only does MRIQC generate visual reports for reliable, manual assessment but it also automatically extracts a set of image quality metrics (IQMs). However, these IQMs are hard to interpret, and many related questions remain open, such as which IQMs are more important. In this project, which emerged as a BrainHack Geneva 2022 initiative, we show that head motion during the acquisition of whole-brain T1-weighted (T1w) MRI of healthy volunteers can be predicted based on the IQMs using supervised machine learning. To do so, we employ the open MR-ART (movement-related artifacts; Nárai et al. 2022) dataset, which includes T1w images acquired under three different motion conditions. We show that signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) derived metrics are the most important features to predict motion presence.

Antropologi adalah sebuah ilmu yang mempelajari makhluk manusia (anthropos). Secara etimologi, antropologi berasal dari kata anthropos berarti manusia dan logos berarti ilmu. Antropologi mulai banyak dikenal orang sebagai sebuah ilmu setelah diselenggarakannya simposium pada tahun 1951 yang dihadiri oleh lebih dari 60 tokoh antropologi dari negara-negara di kawasan Ero-Amerika.antropologi termasuk salah satu kajian yang cukup sering dilakukan oleh para intelektual di Indonesia. Oleh karena itu, di akhir September tahun 1957, berdirilah jurusan antropologi di Universitas Indonesia. Saat itu, fakultas tersebut diprakarsai oleh Prof. Koentjaraningrat. Tidak sampai di situ, ia juga yang mendorong munculnya jurusan antropologi di berbagai universitas negeri lainnya di Indonesia.

Homing tasks performed using variations of crawling gait patterns reveal a role for attention in podokinetic path integration
Authors: Harrison Steven J , Davis Tehran Jespah
Published: January 2023

Self-motion can be perceived via podokinetic information, that is, based upon the movements of the legs during legged locomotion. This information can be integrated in order to perceive a path of travel through the environment (i.e., via podokinetic path integration). Two types of podokinetic information have been distinguished by analyzing the patterns of bias that result from manipulating the gait patterns used in direct-route homing tasks. Each type of podokinetic information has been associated specific groupings of gaits that support equivalent perceptual measurements of self-motion. Specifically, gaits are grouped if they can be varied across the outbound and inbound phases of a homing task (e.g., walking outbound and jogging inbound) and the accuracy of homing task performances does not differ from matched gait control conditions. Recently, it was theorized that different types of podokinetic information are related to the differences in the kinematic form of limb motions in these groupings of gaits. Here we test an alternative hypothesis, namely, that attention plays a role in selecting the type of podokinetic information. In three experiments we manipulated the crawling gait patterns used in direct-route homing tasks. Consistent with our hypotheses, we observe that self-motion is equivalently measured via crawling movement patterns that 1) have distinct kinematic forms, but that similarly direct participants’ attention onto controlling the swing phase trajectories of their arms, and 2) have distinct inter-limb coordination patterns (i.e., pace vs. trot), but do not require attention to be specifically focused upon swing phase arm trajectories.

Published: January 2023

In North America, members of Generation Z (people born since 1995) are facing struggles and obstacles that previous generations have not had to face, resulting in higher rates of depression and suicide and lower levels of life satisfaction. These struggles are likely to have a negative impact on the future generation of missionaries and mission organizations. Psychological struggles due to social media, addiction related to online gaming and pornography, and fragility due to changes in parenting and education have all been amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, these challenges may make North American Generation Z missionaries less effective unless mission structures change to provide the support and accountability necessary to minimize the effects of the new cultural context.

The evolution of catchment-depositional system relationships on the dip slopes of intra-rift basement highs: an example from the Frøya High, Mid-Norwegian Rifted Margin
Authors: Henstra Gijs , Rotevatn Atle , Cullen Timothy , Gawthorpe Robert , Muñoz-Barrera Jhon , Muravchik Martin
Published: January 2023

Basement highs form one of many potential sediment source areas during the evolution of continental rifts and rifted margins and add to the topographic complexity typical of active rifts. Footwall basement highs acting as a source area to sedimentary systems in the hangingwall of major faults has been documented in many systems worldwide. However, the back-tilted footwall dip slopes of such highs have received comparatively little attention. Here we investigate a subsurface case study from the Norwegian continental shelf, where catchments and shallow marine syn-rift sedimentary systems on a dip slope are preserved due to early transgression of an intra-rift high. At the onset of Late Jurassic rifting, the Frøya High emerged as a prominent, N-S trending, 25 km wide basement high tilted towards the east in response to several kilometers of displacement along the Klakk Fault Complex, a major normal fault zone at the Frøya High’s western edge. Using well-calibrated 3D seismic reflection data, we observe a series of conspicuous Upper Jurassic wedges along the eastern edge of the Frøya High along the margin of the Froan Basin. Internally, these wedges show sigmoidal geometries marking top- and foresets of clinoform packages with a maximum thickness of ca. 200 meters with foresets between 30 – 200 m high, dipping ca. 10 degrees towards the east, south east and north east. We interpret these wedges to represent a series of eastward prograding deltas positioned along a constructional shoreline, connected to E-W trending valleys and river catchments updip. The deltas show strong progradation, interpreted to reflect the impact of continued uplift of their catchments. prior to abrupt termination of sediment supply from drainage capture by footwall scarp drainages. The presence of a connected, largely constructional shoreline has implications for Late Jurassic sediment distribution around the Frøya High, providing primary sedimentary input for longshore driven sedimentary systems in the Draugen Ridge to the north. Comparisons with other syn-rift dip slope systems highlights a broadly similar evolution but shows a distinct lack of the protracted backstepping observed in other dip slope systems. We postulate that different structural configurations of dip slope systems, being footwall uplift, or hangingwall subsidence driven, may drive the strongly progradational character of the deltaic systems on the Frøya High. The Frøya High example highlights the need to constrain primary sediment input points to aid interpretation of volumetrically significant, but short-lived and subtle depositional systems, especially within complex, tectonically active settings.
From ground motion simulations to landslide occurrence prediction

Published: January 2023

Ground motion simulations solve wave equations in space and time, thus producing detailed estimates of the shaking time series. This is essentially uncharted territory for geomorphologists, for we have yet to understand which ground motion (synthetic or not) parameter, or combination of parameters, is more suitable to explain the coseismic landslide distribution. To address this gap, we developed a method to select the best ground motion simulation using a combination of Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) and strong motion data. Upon selecting the best simulation, we further developed a method to extract a suite of intensity parameters, which we used to both bivariately and multivariately analyse coseismic landslide occurrences taking the Gorkha earthquake as a reference. Our results show that beyond the virtually unanimous use of peak ground acceleration, velocity, or displacement in the literature, different shaking parameters could play a more relevant role in landslide occurence. These parameters are not necessarily linked to the peak values but mostly linked to the actual displacement, velocity, frequency content and shaking duration, elements too often neglected in geomorphological analyses. This in turn implies that we have yet to fully acknowledge the complexity of the interactions between full waveforms and hillslope responses.
Genotype-environment interplay in associations between maternal drinking and offspring emotional and behavioral problems

Published: January 2023

Objective: We assess the moderation of associations between maternal at-risk drinking and childhood emotional and behavioral problems by common genetic variants linked to environmental sensitivity (genotype-environment interaction), while accounting for shared genetic risk between mothers and offspring (genotype-environment correlation). Method: We use data from 109,727 children born to 90,873 mothers enrolled in the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child Cohort Study. Women self-reported alcohol consumption, and reported on child emotional and behavioral problems when children were 1.5 / 3 / 5 years. We included child polygenic scores (PGS) for traits linked to environmental sensitivity as moderators. Results: Associations between maternal drinking and child emotional (β1 = 0.04 [95% CI: 0.03-0.05]) and behavioral (β1 = 0.07 [0.06-0.08]) outcomes attenuated after controlling for measured confounders, and were almost zero when unmeasured confounding was also accounted for (emotional problems β1 = 0.01 [0.00-0.02]; behavioral problems β1 = 0.01 [0.00-0.02]). No moderation of these adjusted exposure effects by any of the PGS were observed. Conclusion: The lack of strong evidence for genotype-environment interaction may indicate that the mechanism is not implicated in this kind of intergenerational association. It may also reflect insufficient power, or the relatively benign nature of the exposure in this sample.
Are proactive financial self-control strategies more effective in reducing spending than reactive strategies?
Authors: Peetz Johanna , Davydenko Mariya
Published: January 2023

Self-control strategies help people resist tempting situations and make more goal-consistent decisions. The Process Model of Self-Control and the Preventive-Interventive Model of Self-Control suggest the most effective strategies are those used before a person encounters a temptation. We examined how proactive self-control strategies (used before a spending temptation) and reactive strategies (used during a spending temptation) impact monthly spending. We randomly assigned participants to watch videos about proactive or reactive strategies, and asked them to self-generate and focus on using these types of strategies over the course of a month. Participants who were assigned to focus on proactive strategies reported spending on average $469 less during that month than those who were assigned to focus on reactive strategies. This finding suggests that, in line with self-control theories, strategies employed before facing a spending temptation are more effective for controlling spending than strategies employed when facing a temptation.

Affective response during physical activity can partly determine its adherence in adults with severe obesity living or not with a mental disorder. This study examined affective responses to physical activity in adults with severe obesity living or not with a mental disorder. Two groups (24 adults with severe obesity, body mass index = 44.4 kg/m², SD = 6.5; 20 adults with severe obesity and mental disorders, body mass index = 44.1 kg/m², SD = 9.3) two 6-min walking exercises with affective responses assessed at each minute. No between-group in the distance walked was found. Results showed a significant time effect indicating a decline in pleasure over time in both groups from the first to the second exercise. No interaction effects were detected in both exercises. Affective responses similarly declined in both groups indicating that obesity, rather than the presence of a mental disorder, is partly responsible for this decline.

Published: January 2023

The leakage of the wax during the casting of the candle using conventional canting hampers the process of making batik, especially coloring, thereby damaging the motif and reducing the quality of written batik. The solution given is related to the problem of leakage of night wax through E-Canting which is modified from conventional canting using an Arduino nano microcontroller, connected to a temperature sensor, heater plate, and servo to facilitate batik craftsmen in waxing. The use of a microcontroller connected to a temperature sensor to maintain a stable temperature and viscosity of the night wax with the process of releasing the wax is regulated using a lever system that is connected via a servo. The manufacture of E-Canting is carried out in three stages, namely coding through Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) software, assembling components using solder by connecting Arduino nano to other electronic components such as temperature sensors, heater plates, servos, LCDs, and incorporating the E-Canting framework. and electronic components. The energy used by the E-Canting is in the form of electricity which is channeled through the battery so that batik craftsmen can use the E-Canting as needed. The use of E-Canting is able to stabilize the temperature and viscosity of the night wax so as to minimize the occurrence of leakage. E-Canting is able to melt night wax with the required viscosity of 5.54 Pa at 80° in 3.39 minutes which has the potential to increase the amount of quality batik production.

Macroeconomic Determinants and Development of Banking Industry in Nepal
Authors: Gwachha Krishna Prasad
Published: January 2023

This study aims to examine the macroeconomic determinants that have influenced the development of the banking sector in Nepal by using the ARDL approach technique with economic time series data over the period 1995 to 2020. The research study applied the ARDL approach for a small number of observations to avoid the spurious regression issue that plagues the creation of modern time series data. The research study used bound test co-integration analysis to determine the long-run equilibrium association between the macroeconomic determinants and the development of banking sector industry. The arithmetic average of the normalised values for banking efficiency, banking depth, and banking stability is used to measure the development of the banking industry. The research study found that per capita GDP and remittances have a positive and significant impact on the development of the banking industry. Additionally, the development of the banking industry was explained by government expenditure and stock market capitalisation. However, the research study reveals that the development of the banking industry is negatively impacted by trade openness and inflation in Nepal.
Impact of Working Capital Management Components on Profitability: A Case Study of Shivam Cement Limited
Authors: Vaidya Rashesh , Paudel Santosh
Published: January 2023

The paper shows the impact of working capital management on the profitability position of the only listed cement industry of Nepal, i.e., Shivam Cement Limited (SHIVM). The paper has applied correlation coefficient and regression analysis to interpret the data defines as dependent and independent variables. The paper used net profit margin (NPM) as a dependent variable, while the receivable conversion period (RCP), payable deferral period (PDP), inventory conversion period (ICP), cash conversion cycle (CCC), current assets to total sales ratio (CASR), and current liabilities to total sales ratio (CLSR) are taken as independent variables to see an impact of working capital on profitability of the SHIVM. The paper found that SHIVM is efficient in generating revenue by utilising current assets and current liabilities. The paper also found that neither RCP nor ICP or CCC was seen as related to the profitability of the SHIVM. Nevertheless, only the PDP has a negative impact on the NPM of the SHIVM. This shows that an increase in the PDP for the SHIVM would not lead to an increase in its profitability. ICP of SHIVM is only highly correlated with the CCC, as the nature of the industry maintaining a bulk inventory also determined the relation.
An Inquiry into Universal Grammar
Authors: Sharma Min Prasad
Published: January 2023

Noam Chomsky revolutionized the study of linguistics when his book Syntactic Structures was published in 1957. This book gave birth to the idea of generative grammar, which is a theory about language structure. This grammar made a distinction between deep structure and surface structure, something like what Saussure called langue and parole. Chomsky claimed that language structure is innate or genetically inherited. Consequently, structure is to be found inside the organism and the hypothesis is that we learn language because we are born with a Universal Grammar (hereafter referred as UG) in our head. This study aims to find out if UG is real or just an invention. In order to find the strengths and weaknesses with such a controversial statement, this paper will compare Chomsky’s theories when it comes to language acquisition to the behaviorists’ and the modern cognitive linguistics’ approach to the problem. But before the comparison this paper will explain in detail about the shift of focus in the approach to problems of language. Then, it will present an overview of how language and, in particular, language acquisition was explained by the structuralists and by Chomsky.

Thyroid gland is vital gland. It produces Thyroxine T3 and Tri-Idothyronine T4 hormones which are needed for the growth and development. Iodine is needed for the formation of T3 and T4 hormones. Iodine is found in different food such as sea food, vegetables produced in Iodine rich soil and table salt. The associated problems of thyroid gland are hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. The objective of this study was to find out the prevalence of thyroid problems attending at Siddharthanagar City Hospital.

It was hospital based retrospective study. Data related to thyroid problems T3,T4 and TSH was collected from hospital laboratory reports . The tests were done using Semi Auto Clia Plate Analyzer of TOSOH India Company.

The total number of lab reports was 299 taken for study. Among them the percentage of male and female was 21.7 and 78.3 respectively. The overall prevalence of thyroid problems was 5.9% among general public. The overall prevalence of hypothyroidism was 9.69% and hyperthyroidism was 2.17% respectively. The prevalence of thyroid problems was seen more in female.

Authors: Das Balai , Subba Dipika
Published: January 2023

Intergenerational mobility is a method of assessing the relationship between the socioeconomic condition of an individual and that of their progeny. Educational mobility refers that the transfer of parental educational attainment to their child. Higher mobility would result from a poor link between parent’s education levels and children's educational levels, while lower mobility would result from a strong link. A change in career or giving up an educational status could indicate a change in the acceptable quality of living in values and ideologies. In the Alipurduar district of West Bengal, In India only one little settlement known as Totopara home to isolated tribal community known as the Toto. Toto’s are mostly illiterate in previous generation, however recently change in the education has been observed. The present study aims to study the structural change in the education among Toto tribe. Further, an attempt has also been made look at the factor associated with the educational mobility. The study is based on primary survey and total of 150 household has been considered. To study the educational mobility, three generations were chosen: the first generation (grandfather or grandmother), the second generation (father or mother), and the third generation (grandson or granddaughter).

Starting an enterprise is a risk taking, challenging and needs mental preparation. Thus, understanding common start up problems and key success factors can help entrepreneurs make the right decision. There is no short cut to success. It has to go through experiment, trial and error and hard working. Nagaland is an agricultural economy, but her Gross Domestic Product is contributed mainly by the services sector. There is a need to explore the avenues and viabilities of different sectors so as to increase the pace of development. This paper analyse the factors influencing start-up of enterprises in the service sector in Nagaland using 233 respondents, who have already set up their business, were selected through random sampling. The study uses five point Likert’s scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree (5=strongly agree, 4= agree, 3= undecided, 2= disagree and 1= strongly disagree). The study finds that ‘to be self dependent’ is the most influential factor for starting an enterprise. The study also finds that in micro and small enterprises ‘to be self dependent’ is the driving factor whereas in medium enterprises ‘to create employment’ is the motive of entrepreneurs in starting their business.
Differential Object Marking, Scrambling and Choice Functions: The Case of Sinhala
Authors: Weerasooriya W. A. T.
Published: January 2023

This paper investigates the role of choice functions on specificity realization of indefinite noun phrases mainly by way of differential object marking, scrambling and pragmatics in Sinhala. Languages use different strategies to mark what is called specificity of noun phrases. Differential object marking and scrambling are some such operations employed by languages such as Spanish, Turkish, Hindi, and Japanese. Sinhala employs at least three strategies to mark specificity: scrambling; differential object marking and pragmatics. In the literature attempts have been made to establish a relationship between morphology (differential object marking) and syntax (short scrambling) with respect to specificity marking in languages. This paper, based on the evidence that short scrambling in Sinhala does not influence specificity marking, argues that such a link between morphology and syntax of specificity marking cannot be established cross-linguistically. It claims that an account based on choice functions is able to account for specificity marking of indefinites in Sinhala. Relevant data retrieved from the existing literature and new data introduced by the author based on native speaker judgements were considered for testing the hypothesis. The data were analyzed in light of the existing theories, frameworks and methods, thus following the deductive approach to draw the conclusions. The paper concludes that a choice functions-based analysis enables us to account for the specificity marking of not only the deferentially marked objects but also scrambled and pragmatically marked object noun phrases in Sinhala. As evident, the conclusions were drawn based on testing analysis, and evaluation of data from Sinhala, which is a less studied language in linguistics. It is suggested that the findings in this study be taken up for further investigation with similar data from other less studied languages in the world in order to make finer cross-linguistic generalisations.
