Authors:   The Korean Society of History of Historiography, Park Jinyoung
Published: January 2024

This study identifies the special organizations, secret members, and entities involved in the expansion and reinforcement of the Progressive Party's organization in the 1950s. It was intended to examine the relationship between the organization and activities of the Progressive Party's special organization, especially the Yeomoung association, with the student movement developed in the 1960s. In order to secure popular organizations and expand the party's power, the Progressive Party attempted to organize a special party centered on activities by region and region. the Yeomoung association of the Progressive Party sought to bring students from each university gradually to the Progressive Party through a 'human network'. The secret members of the progressive party were those who would join the progressive party in political resistance to the Rhee Syng-man regime. The Rhee Syng-man regime's dissolution of the Progressive Party in a month after the “Progressive Party Incident” was intended to induce withdrawal of support from the Progressive Party through psychological fear as well as wary of secret members, or “people who act as party members.” After the Progressive Party case, the Progressive Party's influence was thought to have ended, but it was leading to the student movement in the 1960s due to the horizontal link, the “human network.”

Authors:   Korean Science Education Society for the Gifted, Lee Eunhee , Yang Kyoungeun
Published: January 2024

The aim of our research is to argue for the importance of the emotional approach in creativity and gifted education. This essay identifies the emotional elements in evolutionary, cognitive, and neuro-scientific theories and emphasizes the emotional-centered approach in refining the concept of giftedness. Three theories within cognitive science studies are selected for our research; the Imprinted Brain theory, Cerebral Hemispheric model, and the Integrated Model of Human Abilities. The results of these theories are compared and analysed with the method of constructive reduction, through which it was intended to preserve the independent nature of diverse studies and present complementary explanations. Our study shows that the three theories commonly emphasize emotional elements in thinking, which have a decisive influence on creative thinking and problem-solving. Our study will also identify elements of interaction between emotional-centered thinking and rational-centered thinking. This implies that the newer emotional-centered approach is important along with the current rational-centered approach in terms of educating gifted students.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the level of knowledge about dementia among the public and explore differences in knowledge between sociodemographic groups.

Materials & methods: This cross-sectional questionnaire-based study surveyed individuals living in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Dementia knowledge assessment scale (DKAS) was used to measure knowledge about dementia. Multiple regression was used to identify the significant predictors of higher levels of knowledge about dementia.

Results: Among 1,030 participants, the mean DKAS score was 20.5 (standard deviation=10.3) out of 50. A higher level knowledge about dementia was significantly and positively associated with university education (β=2.42; p=0.010) and income higher (β=2.78; p=0.001). On the other hand, the total DKAS score was significantly and negatively associated with being male (β=-1.78; p=0.003), not knowing a person with dementia (PwD) (β=-.56; p<0.001), and not living with a PwD (β=-1.57; p=0.120).

Conclusions: The level of knowledge about dementia is low among people living in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province. Enhancing the community’s knowledge and awareness about dementia and its related topics should be considered at the regional or national levels.
Assessing conceptual difficulties experienced by pre-service chemistry teachers in organic chemistry
Authors: Boateng Sakyiwaa
Published: January 2024

Organic chemistry is a mandatory component of chemistry II and chemistry III within the curriculum for pre-service chemistry teachers (PSCTs) pursuing a degree in chemistry teaching. The organic chemistry course sequence is well recognized as challenging and unapproachable for students, despite its significant relevance and impact across several sectors. While efforts have been made to recognize and deal with challenges faced by students in the cognitive and psychomotor aspects, there has been less attention given to identifying PSCTs’ conceptual difficulties and misconceptions of organic chemistry. This includes the subsequent strategies to design instructions to enhance students’ learning experiences, which are crucial elements in addressing their achievements in organic chemistry. The study aimed to identify the conceptual difficulties and misconceptions encountered by PSCTs in organohalides and stereochemistry. Furthermore, the study aimed to suggest strategies to enhance PSCTs’ understanding of the course. The study was situated within the theoretical framework of constructivism and employed an interpretivist qualitative case study design. The population under study consisted of all individuals who were enrolled in the Bachelor of Education program within the faculty of educational sciences. A cohort of 33 whole-class PSCTs who had registered for the chemistry III course, where organohalides and stereochemistry were taught as units, were purposefully selected to participate in the study. The main instruments were document analysis, formal written tests, and interviews. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The study revealed that PSCTs encountered difficulties when attempting to solve problems related to organohalides and stereochemistry. In addition, PSCTs had misconceptions about these concepts. The study, therefore, recommends the implementation of suitable and appropriate instructional strategies to enhance PSCTs’ conceptual understanding and reduce misconceptions.

Published: January 2024

Protist education in universities primarily focuses on acquiring knowledge about species classification within the protist. Protist literacy emerged as a theoretical framework exploring the interplay between humans and protists within daily existence. This systematic literature review (SLR) provides a comprehensive understanding of protist literacy and identifies several dimensions. This SLR utilized PRISMA diagram to execute the inclusion and exclusion methods. According to SLR results, the concept of protist literacy refers to the ability of university students to analyze, comprehend, and implement the knowledge of protists to solve everyday problems. Protist literacy consists of seven dimensions: conceptual knowledge, relation information, fact evaluation, real solution, argument identification, self-confidence, and scientific value. The results of the current study imply that protist literacy is a potential variable to be further explored in protist learning.

Sliding Mode-Based Distributed Trajectory Tracking Control of Four-body Train Systems
Authors: Ding Yueheng , Yan Xinggang
Published: January 2024

This paper considers the speed tracking of a four-body train system modelled mathematically based on Newton’s second law, which is described by a large-scale interconnected system with four subsystems. Uncertainties are included in the systems to represent the potential impacts on system performance caused by mechanical wear and external environmental changes. An adaptive sliding mode technique is employed to design a distributed control scheme to guarantee tracking accuracy. Coordinate transformations are introduced to transfer the model of train systems to a system in regular form to facilitate the design of the hyperplane and controllers. The Barbashin-Krasovskii theorem is employed to show the reachability of the hyperplane. In simulations, the Gaussian function is chosen as the desired signal, representing time-varying characteristics relevant to real-world situations, and the result demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed control strategy.

Published: January 2024

This experimental study aimed to examine the impact of many parameters, including concentration ratio, optical efficiency, and thermal efficiency, on the performance of the trough solar collector. In the present day, nations throughout the globe exhibit a collective preoccupation with the issue of environmental pollution and its consequential impacts. However, it remains imperative for these nations to secure adequate energy resources in order to facilitate the progress and advancement of their respective countries. The utilization of conventional techniques, particularly those involving coal, fossil fuels, and organic matter, to generate the necessary energy yields a significant level of air pollution, which serves as the primary catalyst for global warming. The utilization of non-conventional methods for energy production is deemed more favorable in terms of environmental impact. However, the lack of economic viability serves as the primary deterrent for impoverished and emerging nations in adopting such non-conventional techniques. The geographical conditions have a significant role in determining the viability of nonconventional sources such as solar energy and wind energy. This study involved an analysis of the performance of a solar trough collector, with subsequent calculations of its efficiencies.

Understanding and addressing the cholera outbreak in Zambian communities
Authors: Chanda Chansa Thelma  , Lufeyo Chitondo  , Edwin Vinandi Phiri  , Mwila Mwenda Gilbert
Published: January 2024

Cholera is a bacterial infection caused by the Vibrio cholera bacterium, primarily transmitted through contaminated water and food. The effects of cholera on health can be severe and potentially life-threatening. The hallmark symptom of cholera is acute watery diarrhea, which can lead to rapid dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. As the body loses large amounts of fluid and essential salts, individuals with cholera often experience intense thirst, dry mucous membranes, sunken eyes, and lethargy. If left untreated, the dehydration can progress rapidly, causing a dangerous condition known as choleric dehydration and in most cases death. Hence, the study was conducted to analyze the effects of cholera on health in selected communities of Lusaka district in Zambia. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative methods and a descriptive survey design that sampled 42 participants purposively and conveniently. Data was obtained from the respondents by means of questionnaires and record reading. The data was analyzed by the use of software; Statistical Package for Social Sciences (version 26) and Microsoft Excel (version 16). Frequency tables, graphs, figures, and pie charts were also used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that the effect of cholera on health extends beyond dehydration, affecting various organ systems. Severe cases may lead to hypovolemic shock, characterized by a significant drop in blood pressure and inadequate perfusion of organs. The study also found that Cholera outbreaks pose significant public health challenges, particularly in areas with inadequate sanitation and limited access to clean water. The study therefore recommended that since cholera is highly contagious, primarily through contaminated water and food, those affected should be isolated to prevent the spread of the bacteria. Additionally, Proper hygiene, such as regular handwashing, is essential to reduce the risk of transmission.

Authors: Ramadhani Angeli , Sopacua Yustina , Alfredo Ronald
Published: January 2024

This article aims to describe the representation of toxic masculinity in the film "Seperti Dendam, Rindu Harus Dibayar Tuntas" through the main male character and film scenes. The film analysis of "Seperti Dendam, Rindu Harus Dibayar Tuntas" employs the semiotic data analysis technique using John Fiske's model. There are three levels of coding in this model: the level of reality, the level of representation, and the level of ideology. The research findings indicate that the representation of toxic masculinity portrayed by the main character at the level of reality is evident in the category of costumes, as seen in Ajo Kawir's simple attire. The level of representation code depicting toxic masculinity is displayed through cinematography techniques such as medium shots, close-ups, two shots, and over-the-shoulder shots. The ideology level observed is the high individualism of Ajo Kawir, who exhibits a sense of superiority, acts in his self-interest, and is stubborn. The toxic masculinity of the main character is influenced by past traumas and the patriarchal society depicted through John Fiske's semiotic model. The level of reality of social codes is conveyed through costumes, speech styles, and expressions. The level of representation of social codes is presented through camera work and lighting. The level of ideology of social codes is depicted through actions, dialogues, and character traits.

The aim of this research is to determine the level of community participation in development in the Barakkae Village, Lamuru District, Bone Regency. In this study, the author employs a descriptive method using a qualitative approach. The research was conducted in Barakkae Village, Lamuru District, Bone Regency, with primary data collected from 8 individuals. Data collection techniques involved field studies, literature reviews, and included observations, in-depth interviews, as well as documentation. The research took place over a period of 1 month. The findings of this research indicate that community participation in human resource development in Barakkae Village, Lamuru District, Bone Regency, is not entirely consistent with the views expressed by Cohen and Uphoff in 1977. Barriers to community participation in human resource development in Barakkae Village can be identified, particularly in decision-making, where there appears to be a lack of space provided by the village to accommodate the aspirations of the community. Efforts to overcome barriers to human resource development include the provision of proposal repositories, especially on a priority scale, involving the participation of village officials who encourage community involvement on a voluntary basis.

Authors: Arni Arni
Published: January 2024

This research aims to identify the implementation of bureaucratic reform, while presenting solutions to improve license management services. The research method used is a qualitative approach with an informative case study that focuses on the Licensing Service Agency in Bone Regency covering several aspects. From an institutional perspective, licensing services have developed into a One Stop Service. However, from the aspect of human resources, employee qualifications do not match the needs of the organization, and employee discipline and responsibility are still low. In terms of systems and procedures, there are delays in completing permits, discrimination and contradictions. This study also confirms the concept of formalism as a characteristic of prismatic society described by Fred W. Riggs. This phenomenon has been confirmed in research as “Regulatory Heresy.” Thus, this research not only identifies the problems of implementing bureaucratic reform, but also contributes to the verification of relevant concepts and theories in the context of this research.

Published: January 2024

This research aims to uncover, contemplate, and describe the essence of the cosmology of Sao Stone in shaping the holistic life of the indigenous community of Aman Seri. The research method employed is a qualitative approach through field research using interview techniques, guided discussions, and field observations. The findings depict the perspective of the Aman Seri indigenous community towards Sao Stone as the most fundamental and essential element, always closely intertwined with their natural existence. Their cosmological beliefs designate Sao Stone as the centre of cosmic power, serving as a guide for profound exploration and appreciation of the beauty of logos radiating within the Aman Seri cosmos. Moreover, faced with the severe destruction of the cosmic order due to the colonialism of the Portuguese and Dutch in Ambon, the survival of the Aman Seri indigenous community can be sustained through the role of Sao Stone as the cosmic centre. Sao Stone is considered a robust anchor of defense and security for the Aman Seri community.

Published: January 2024

COVID-19 pandemic is severe acute respiratory syndrome is still ongoing since December in almost every countries and cities. This syndrome was first reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, China than first case was seen in Thailand and many COVID-19 cases are detected in all populations, and most of them recovered and age, comorbidities, gender, of COVID-19 deaths and the severity of the infection were changed according to the patients’ additional health risk parameters. Elderly population and people with chronic diseases have been categorized as major risk group, however some COVID-19 positive children have showed Kawasaki disease-like syndromes such as hyper-inflammatory state according to the current state same as adult patients infected by COVID-19. We suggested that glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency can make some children more vulnerable against COVID-19 infection same as adults, since this virus attacks hemoglobin and heme metabolism leading to the increased hemolysis and impaired oxygen transport to the tissues. G6PD deficiency is most affects males. Thus, possible correlation between COVID-19 infection and Kawasaki disease like syndromes in the especially male children should be further investigated and maybe children may be categorized as risk group in the future.
