Review of Adaptation and Histopathological Changes of the Fish Respiratory System to Parasites and Diseases
Authors: Aisyah Aisyah , Andriani Yuli
Published: December 2024

The respiratory system of fish is particularly susceptible to parasitic infections and diseases that can cause significant histopathological changes. This article discusses the adaptation of fish's respiratory system to environmental stresses caused by parasites and pathogens, as well as the histopathological changes that occur in response to infection. Some of the major changes observed include hyperplasia, hypertrophy, necrosis, and edema of the tissues in the gills, which can affect the respiratory function of the fish. In addition, granuloma formation and increased mucus production were also noted as adaptive responses to parasitic infections. Although some histopathological changes can improve the fish's body defenses, the tissue damage that occurs as a result of chronic infections can lead to serious impaired respiratory function and decrease the survival of fish. Understanding the mechanisms of adaptation and histopathological changes is very important for fish health management, especially in aquaculture, in order to reduce the negative impact of diseases and increase fish productivity.

Published: December 2024

Hydroponic drip irrigation technique is a system of giving water by dripping directly on the area around plant roots. Nutrients commonly used in hydroponic systems are AB Mix which is made from synthetic chemicals. It is expected that these nutrients can be replace with liquid organic fertilizers (POC), but the use of POCs has resulted in poor plant growth due to the lack of plant absorption of POCs. Liquid organic fertilizer absorption can be increased by using planting media with high CEC (cation exchange capacity) such as zeolites. This study was conducted to determine the effect of zeolite on POC absorption on the growth of mustard greens (Brassica juncea L.) grown hydroponically with drip irrigation technique and to determine the optimum concentration. The study used the RAL method (Completely Randomized Design) with a ratio of zeolite and husk charcoal, namely 100% husk charcoal as control (P0), zeolite 15% (P1), 30% (P2), and 45% (P3). Twenty plants used in each treatment. The results showed that P3 had the most optimal growth compared to other treatments, both in terms of the average leaf area of â€‹â€‹162.88 cm2, as well as fresh weight of 17.24 grams, and dry weight of 1.08 grams.

Authors: BELTRAN KENNEDY
Published: December 2024

Fermented fish products hold significant prominence in the Philippines. However, its potential risks for human consumption are faced as a result of inadequate awareness of microbiological standards in its preparation. This study investigated the microbiota and fermentation process of burong tilapia, how this is influenced by fermentation factors such as salt content, temperature, and proper sanitation, and how it can impact food safety for human consumption. This study revealed that the population of aerobic microorganisms in burong tilapia was relatively high with the Aerobic Plate Count result of 2.1 x 107 CFU/g, indicating significant bacterial presence. On the other hand, a relatively low level of E. coli and Yeast and Molds count was detected having <25 CFU/g and <10 CFU/g, respectively. Moreover, it was found that low salt content, non-ideal temperature conditions and failure to strictly observe sanitation practices, all influenced the growth and proliferation of unwanted microorganisms. These results emphasize how crucial it is to optimize fermentation factors in order to guarantee both the food quality and safety of fermented fish products for human consumption. Furthermore, this case study highlights that consumer education is needed in promoting awareness and acceptance of fermented fish products in the market.

Terorisme Sebagai Konstruksi Politik
Authors: Yahya Fathurrahman
Published: December 2024

Serangan  9 September 2001 yang  menimpa  Word Trade Centre di New York serta  Gedung Pentagon di Washington DC, Amerika  Serikat dianggap sebagai serangan teror paling dahsyat awal abad ke 21 M. Ribuan nyawa hilang akibat serangan tersebut, sehingga menyadarkan masyarakat dunia bahwa terorisme  merupakan ancaman paling berbahaya abad ini.  Seolah  masyarakat internasional tidak  percaya bahwa  negara adidaya seperti Amerika Serikat  bisa menjadi korban yang ditarget para teroris. Seketika, Presiden George W.Bush menyatakan perang terhadap terorisme karena dianggap sebagai ancaman paling mendesak bagi keamanan nasional negeri Paman Sam ini. Ia berkampanye secara global melalui jalur diplomasi untuk memerangi terorisme. Akhirnya, sejak itu terorisme menjadi persoalan dan isu besar dan masih diperdebatkan, sehingga menimbulkan pertanyaan, bagaimana terorisme didefinisikan  sebagai tindak kejahatan? Paper ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan definisi terorisme yang sejauh ini kerap memiliki bias politik dan ideologis yang tentu merugikan komunitas tertentu, khususnya komunitas muslim. Dengan pemaknaan yang sporadis dan tendensius,  terorisme dianggap berkorelasi dengan aspek teologi bahwa tindakan teror (baca:terorisme) adalah bagian dari ajaran Islam dilihat dari perspektif jihad. Dengan menelaah sumber-sumber akademik terkait melalui studi pustaka, paperr ini menemukan bahwa definisi terorisme tidak tunggal, bahkan yang terjadi adalah bias. Oleh karena tidak ada titik temu, maka perspektif Jurgen Habermas tentang komunikasi dan dialog menjadi penting sebagai jembatan untuk menyatukan antar agama dan peradaban. Sementara itu untuk memahami terorisme bagi Jaques Derrida perlu dekonstruksi-bahasa terhadap berbagai pemahaman sebelumnya.

Expression of Cholinesterase in Bone Tumors, Blood and Cord Blood
Authors: Simmi Kharb , Nanda S , Kumar S , Kundu ZS
Published: December 2024

The present study aimed to analyze Cholinesterase (CE) levels in cord blood from preeclamptic women and to evaluate cholinesterase status in patients with osteosarcoma. Serum cholinesterase levels were assessed in 30 cases of osteosarcoma and 30 controls suffering from musculoskeletal pain. Additionally, maternal and cord blood samples were collected from 25 women with preeclampsia and compared with those from 25 normotensive pregnant women and 25 normal, healthy controls. The results indicated that serum cholinesterase levels were significantly lower in osteosarcoma patients (Group I) compared to those with musculoskeletal pain (Group II, p < 0.05). Similarly, cholinesterase levels were reduced in the maternal blood of women with preeclampsia when compared to normotensive controls. Cord blood cholinesterase levels were lower in the infants of normotensive mothers, with levels reaching 88.65% of the maternal levels. Furthermore, cord blood cholinesterase levels were significantly lower in preeclamptic women compared to normotensive pregnant women. When comparing cholinesterase levels to those of normal controls, it was observed that CE levels were significantly elevated in both normotensive and preeclamptic women. The findings of low serum cholinesterase levels in this study suggest that cholinesterase secreted by osteoblasts is utilized in bone formation and tumorigenesis. Additionally, the decrease in cholinesterase levels associated with preeclampsia may be linked to the loss of muscarinic cholinergic receptors that occur in this condition.

Authors:   Prof., Editor in Chief, International Journal of Instruction, asimari64@gmail.com, Arı Asım
Published: December 2024

In Switzerland, teachers across all educational levels are trained at universities, with the majority receiving their education at universities dedicated to teacher training. Established and integrated into the system of higher education institutions in the early 2000s, universities of teacher education (UTE) are designed to train prospective teachers for primary and lower secondary levels, as well as for special needs education. Some of these universities of teacher education (UTE) are integrated into universities of applied sciences. Due to their practice-oriented degree programs and research focused on occupational fields, universities of teacher education are classified typologically as universities of applied sciences. At the national level, their legal foundation is established by the recognition regulation issued by the Swiss Conference of Cantonal Ministers of Education (EDK). Teacher training for the eight-year primary level (including kindergarten or entry level) is typically conducted at universities of teacher education. The program spans three years and culminates in the awarding of a teaching diploma and a bachelor’s degree. The program equips them with the vocational skills essential for the education and holistic development of primary school pupils. The program comprises subject sciences, subject didactics, educational sciences, and practical vocational training. Teacher training for the lower secondary level is primarily conducted at universities of teacher education and, in some cantons, at universities. The program spans 4.5 to 5 years and culminates in the awarding of a teaching diploma and a master’s degree. The training equips students with the vocational skills essential for educating and supporting the development of lower secondary school pupils. Obtaining a teaching diploma for baccalaureate schools and upper secondary specialized schools requires both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in a specific subject area. Depending on the canton, vocational training is undertaken either at universities of teacher education or at universities. The training for the teaching diploma equips candidates with the professional skills essential for educating and guiding the development of pupils at baccalaureate schools. The University of Basel also offers Bachelor and Master degrees in various disciplines for teacher education.

Considering chemistry teaching from a constructivist perspective, students learn abstract and complex concepts through the mutual construction between teacher and student dialogue, including teacher feedback. The teachers’ feedback to students during the question-answer exchange greatly influences students’ knowledge construction. New Generation Schools (NGS) was initiated in Cambodia in 2016 by mandating constructivist learning in education reform. In that process, this comparative study measured the different changes in the performance of Chemistry teachers’ feedback between General Public Schools (GPS) and NGS. Six chemistry teachers from GPS and three from NGS volunteered to audio-tap and videotape their lessons. Verbal transcriptions of teachers’ questions and statements were analyzed interpretively using the framework by Chin (2006) as an analytical lens. The commonality was that both groups provided neutral feedback on students’ correct answers. Thus, NGS teachers challenged students to provide the reason for those correct answers. The difference was that GPS teachers typically used directed feedback, whereas NGS teachers facilitated feedback by responding to students’ insufficient answers. Various forms of feedback in this study could serve as a practical framework, supplementing Chin's model and being utilized in professional development courses in Cambodia or elsewhere. The implication was that teachers armed with this practical feedback framework could confidently enhance their feedback strategies within the constructivist learning approach.

One way to achieve this is by introducing various teaching methods, one of which is tandem learning, which is a small-group cooperative learning method. Not everyone responds well to a one-size-fits-all method, and therefore, uncovering insights for predictive model selection tailored to individual students or classrooms becomes imperative for teaching institutions. The knowledge is embedded in the educational data set and is extractable through data mining techniques. The primary objective of the study was to identify the key factors that significantly influence student outcomes (including both emotional well-being and knowledge improvement) in tandem learning using machine learning algorithms. The study was conducted in a mathematics class during the course of one week of tandem learning implementation in the school year 2023/24 with a sample of 89 high school students from a selected Slovene high school and 13 predictor variables (gender, class, teacher, recent mathematics grade, MBTI variables, mathematical anxiety, motivation, qualitative interaction, quantitative interaction, and whether the student outperformed their partner). The outcome of interest was a three-state dependent variable indicating whether the student responded well to the implementation of tandem learning into the education environment. The present study tested which predictor variables were most important using mutual information and recursive feature elimination for all variables. The most important factors according to mutual information for predicting student response were outperforming the partner, class, and qualitative interaction within the tandem and according to recursive feature analysis qualitative interaction, outperforming partner and gender.
