Abstract between 150-250 words only. It has been more than a year since the implementation of movement order control (MCO) on March 18, 2020, in Malaysia. In March 2020, PdPR 1.0 was initially implemented. Through this e-learning distance education, technology plays a key role in designing online learning environments that meaningfully engage students. To learn online via these platforms, a student would need to have access to the platform and guidance from parents. Some parents have faced various challenges since the introduction of PdPR. they cannot afford to provide sufficient gadgets for their children, and most of the students faced internet problem and did not have the knowledge to use technology and find it difficult to participate in online learning. Teachers are also impacted by this problem when students learn online.The system development of this project is using a waterfall model that consists of requirements, design, and development phases. Hence, to create an application that would aid teachers and students in the process of online teaching and learning, this study introduces the application system using Visual Basic programming 2010 known as "VB," and it is designed to make software creation quick and simple while still being strong enough to construct complex programs. This study only focuses on the problem faced by primary school students (Year 4, 5, and 6) and on the curriculum's emphasis on four core subjects: Bahasa Melayu, English, Mathematics, and Sciences. Hopefully, using this application will give some excitement to teachers and students for their online teaching and learning.

This literature review is aimed to identify the impact on home spatial design during the covid-19 pandemic. The covid-19 pandemic and the need to put people into lockdown, quarantine, and self-isolation at home require a reflection on the quality and capacity of home spatial to adjust to a specific function for they are not designed. The adjustment is to ensure the health and well-being of people during the pandemic and predict the future home spatial design for more human-centric. The qualitative method was conducted by viewing 50 papers and articles related to the pandemic, working from home, spatial design, residential real estate, habitability, and resilience from March 2020 to Dec 2021. The review indicates that the Covid-19 pandemic do influence the spatial design from the government enforcement of lockdown, fear of meeting people, and the “stay at home” lifestyle aspect. The pandemic increases people’s need to control their living space, safe space, and the use of home space. This review will not only be useful to safeguard people’s physical and mental health but with respect to the deficiencies and preferences of users about their homes. It can be taken as a starting point for updating the Malaysia development plans. In addition, it benefits real estate developers as a lifestyle reference on the design of healthy residential buildings in the future.

Schools and community halls are frequently chosen as disaster evacuation centres during difficult flood incidences. However, the buildings' existing designs and facilities are designed for their respective uses and are inefficient for disaster relief. Thus, the buildings' suitability as disaster evacuation centres is in doubt. It is therefore recommended to apply the Multidisciplinary Centre for Earthquake Engineering Research, or MCEER 4R’s Resilience Framework, to investigate the centres' resilience. It integrates four primary qualities to make a more disaster-resilient centre. These are robustness, redundancy, resourcefulness, and rapidity. The research method for the development of criteria is document analysis, which is used to collect qualitative data, which includes shelter design considerations, space provisions in a disaster evacuation centre, and resilience properties. Various official documents on disaster management, shelter guidelines, and resilience frameworks were used to compile this research. These documents attribute the current design standards used in a disaster evacuation centre and inform researchers that each design standard includes embedded resilience features. The findings of the document analysis approach will be used to understand key design issues and resilience ideas. Before identifying the essential design standards through the content validation process, this shelter guidelines. The findings will be presented in a disaster evacuation centre context, emphasising the four design domains with built-in resilience: site planning, spatial layout, existing design, and existing construction. The investigation continued with transforming the design variables into resilient design measures, synthesising the resilience ideas gathered from the shelter guidelines. A tabulation of four resilience categories was put together to see the overall resilience design pattern in disaster evacuation centres. This study aimed to develop a practical design framework that included design guidelines and resilience indicators for improving the existing design and space planning of the disaster evacuation centre buildings. As a result, the facilities can be enhanced to provide a resilient, more secure, comfortable, and practical environment for flood victims and rescuers.

A Preliminary Study on Global Constitutionalism
Authors:   Korean Association of International Association of Constitutional Law, Bae Jeonghun
Published: January 2023

Since the late twentieth century, with the end of the Cold War and the acceleration of globalization, discussions on “Global Constitutionalism”, an expanded understanding of modern constitutionalism, have emerged. Proponents of Global Constitutionalism argue that the specific principles of modern constitutionalism, such as guaranteeing human rights, separation of powers, the rule of law, democracy, and judicial review in the transnational human rights regime, can have global implications. Various criticisms have been raised against this argument based on the notions of the homogenous nation state, legal positivism, legal pluralism, etc. If, however, it is possible to establish constitutionalism grounded in constitutional pluralism, while responding to temporal and spatial particularities, the discussion on Global Constitutionalism should be valid and useful in explaining the changes in the field of international-transnational law in the twenty-first century. Further theoretical and practical groundwork is needed to realize the contents of Global Constitutionalism, but it is difficult to regard Global Constitutionalism as a completely unrealistic concept.
Recovery of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Acariformes: Astigmata: Pyroglyphidae) is influenced by vacuuming protocol, fabric type and the viability of dust mites
Authors: Aljohani Amal , Burke Daniel , Fleming Gerard , Gormally Michael , Byrne Miriam
Published: January 2023

Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Trouessart, 1897) (Acariformes: Astigmata: Pyroglyphidae) is amongst the most common house dust mites (HDMs) species in Europe. Vacuuming is commonly employed as a method for the recovery for the subsequent quantification of mite densities. The vacuuming protocols employed and their efficiencies are frequently unreported. In this study, a constant-flow vacuum sampler was used to evaluate the recovery of laboratory-reared D. pteronyssinus from cotton, denim or fleece. Two vacuuming protocols were employed. Protocol 1 (P1) entailed a single unidirectional pass of the vacuum head across the fabrics for 60, 90 or 120 seconds. For Protocol 2 (P2), fabrics were vacuumed twice (laterally followed by diagonally) for the same time periods. Vacuuming was carried out on fabrics seeded with live mites (LM), dead mites (DM), and live mites, which were applied to fabric surfaces for 10 minutes and then euthanized by freezing prior to vacuum sampling (EM). There was a significant difference (P<0.001) in mean HDMs recovery with regard to mite viability (LM, DM, EM), fabric type (cotton, denim, fleece), duration of sampling (60, 90, 120s) and vacuuming protocols employed (P1, P2). The numbers of mites recovered from fleece (compared to cotton and denim) were lower for each treatment type where LM and EM were deployed. Overall, the use of protocol 2 resulted in the greatest mean percentage recovery (>80%) of dust mites for all fabrics combined. Recovery rates were also influenced by entrapment of mites (or active attachment) in the fabric microstructure within the weave. The results have implications for the standardisation of mite recovery from fabrics by means of vacuuming.
Coextinction is magnifying the current extinction crisis, as illustrated by the eriophyoid mites and their host plants
Authors: Ozman-Sullivan Sebahat K. , Sullivan Gregory T.
Published: January 2023

Coextinction is a major and growing threat to global biodiversity. One of the affected groups is the eriophyoid mites (Prostigmata: Eriophyoidea) which are highly host plant specific. They have been described from an enormous range of annual and perennial plants from grasses to giant forest trees. It is highly likely that there are huge numbers of undescribed eriophyoid species in the subtropical and tropical regions which harbor an extraordinary wealth of plant diversity. The global total of eriophyoid species is estimated to be at least 250,000 but it could be much higher. However, the continuing destruction and degradation of natural habitat, especially tropical forests, and climate change, together pose extreme, on-going threats to the eriophyoid mites because of their vulnerability to co-extinction with their host plants. It has been reported that one third of all the Earth’s plant species are now at risk of extinction. Together with enormous numbers of other invertebrate species, it is highly likely that many thousands of eriophyoid species are disappearing in the current mass extinction event. Population decline and co-extinction, especially of the invertebrates, are greatly accelerating total biodiversity losses. The termination of habitat destruction and degradation; establishment of large, representative protected areas; restoration of degraded areas; and rapid reduction of fossil fuel use, are urgent tasks. However, the long term conservation of biodiversity can only be achieved through comprehensive social, economic and political reforms across the world that prioritize environmental protection, peaceful coexistence, social justice and the sustainable use of resources.

In this paper, optimal coordination of the demand side under uncertainty of the energy price in energy market is studied. The consumers by demand response programs (DRPs) have optimal role in minimization of the energy generation costs in multiple energy system. The consumers can participate via local generation strategy (LGS) and demand curtailment strategy (DCS). The optimal coordination is considered as two stage optimization, in which minimization of the consumers’ bills is done in first stage. In following, the minimization of the generation costs is performed in second stage optimization. The LGS is taken into accounted through optimal discharging of plug electric vehicles (PEVs). Finally, numerical simulation is implemented to show superiority of the proposed approach to minimization of the energy generation costs.
Security and Energy Consumption Considerations of Electric Vehicles Integration in Smart Grids
Authors: Sabzi Shahab , Vajta Laszlo
Published: January 2023

Over the past years, electric vehicles (EVs) have attracted great attention worldwide. Using EVs helps reduce CO2 emissions and the use of fossil fuels and motivates the nations toward a more sustainable future where the consumed energy matters. EVs are the main part of E-mobility; therefore, the EV integration problem is very important. This paper discusses the importance of EV integration in smart grids, and challenges toward the electrification of future cars are investigated. The two main categories for challenges are security and utility-related challenges. Security challenges deal with the communication means in the e-mobility, while grid-related challenges correspond to the energy that must be supplied and delivered to the vehicles. Security challenges come from the devastating actions from outside threats such as hacks, but the grid-related challenges come from the system's nature and can be dealt with using physical and software-based methods. While the challenges of security and grid are investigated, since our future work focuses on energy and cost optimization, the solution of grid-related challenges will be covered.

Authors: Ketan Marwa J. , Aadim Kadhim A.
Published: January 2023

This study uses the optical emission spectroscopy (OES) technique to find the lead(Pb) and sulfur (S) plasma parameters employing a pulse of Nd: YAG laser (Q-switched 1064nm wavelength) and different laser energies of (400,500,600 and 700 mJ). The electron temperature Te (eV) is calculated using the Boltzmann-Plot method, and the electron density ne (cm-3)is determined by the Stark broadened way. Moreover, Debye length λD (cm) and plasma frequency ωp (Hz) are studied as a function of laser energy. An apparent increase was noted in the electron temperature of lead plasma and a decrease in sulfur plasma. The results also showed that each increase in the laser intensity causes an increase in the optical emission peaks. This experiment was carried out under atmospheric pressure.

Al pretender aspirar algunos años atrás en la búsqueda de conceptualizar una teoría de seguridad desde las mismas novedades de la investigación, se justipreció cimentar una metodología coherente de las diferentes ideas y cuestiones meditadas a través de diversos escritos publicados y arbitrados, relativos al tema del proyecto, con la acción de asir el conocimiento científico mediante el proceso cognoscitivo y espacio temporal de su ejecución. En este sentido, la exploración se vincula en beneficio del área del conocimiento de la línea de investigación sobre “Seguridad, Globalización y Derechos Humanos” de los Planes de Desarrollo de las Entidades Académicas y Dependencias (Pladea) de la entidad de adscripción, y con la perspectiva colateral y prioritaria de su impacto en el programa educativo y en beneficio del desarrollo institucional.
El sentir En estado de coma: en torno a la cama vacia del hospital según María Elvira Escallón
Authors: Pineda Repizo Adryan Fabrizio
Published: January 2023

This paper presents a reflection on the relationship between feeling and estrangement in dialogue with the work In a Coma state by María Elvira Escallón. The work presents, in its different series, some estrangements from the hospital bed that link the situation of oppression that the Hospital San Juan de Dios emblematizes of Colombian society and that interrogates the feeling and its possibilities of criticism and persistence. The intersection between the readings of the three series of the work, the words of the artist herself and some theoretical elements -such as Perniola’s sensology, among others-, allow us to point out the way in which the work appeals to feeling to provide an alternative to the present as a possibility.

CEFR is, in the Indonesian view, commonly associated merely with the standardized English test and rarely connected to the educational curriculum, pedagogy, and learning. This paper, therefore, aims to give an overview of the CEFR conceptualization; the 2001, 2018, and 2020 versions. The three versions or editions are concisely overviewed and then reflected to the Indonesian context. The adoption of CEFR provides opportunity for coherent relationship between policy, teaching, learning, and assessment.

Pembuangan sampah secara open dumping telah banyak memberikan dampak negatif bagi lingkungan seperti terkontaminasinya air tanah oleh lindi. Interpretasi sebaran lindi di sekitar TPA Salatiga Kabupaten Sambas telah dilakukan menggunakan metode self-potential. Penelitian ini menerapkan 8 buah lintasan dengan panjang masing-masing 150 m, jarak antar lintasan 10 m, dan jarak antar titik porous pot pada lintasan berjarak 10 m. Pengambilan data nilai potensial di lokasi penelitian dilakukan pada 120 titik pengukuran. Hasil pengukuran diperoleh variasi nilai potensial sebelum dilakukan koreksi sebesar -3,18 mV hingga 5,42 mV. Sedangkan variasi nilai potensial setelah dilakukan koreksi bernilai -7,98 mV hingga 6,36 mV. Sebaran lindi bawah permukaan diduga terakumulasi pada area dengan nilai potensial yang relatif lebih kecil dan bernilai negatif. Hasil interpretasi menunjukkan bahwa sebaran lindi mengalir dari arah barat dan terakumulasi pada arah timur hingga timur laut lokasi penelitian.

La educación literaria desde el paradigma del pensamiento del profesorado: aportaciones de un estudio de caso colectivo en Secundaria

Authors: López Rodríguez Rosa María , Núñez Delgado María Pilar
Published: January 2023

La conformación en las últimas décadas de un paradigma de investigación en torno a las creencias y saberes del profesorado ha ayudado a comprender las decisiones que se toman en los procesos de planificación, intervención y evaluación, y las causas de las reticencias docentes a los cambios. En esta línea se encuadra la investigación de metodología cualitativa que aquí se presenta: un estudio de caso colectivo sobre los conceptos y las prácticas de educación literaria y canon que declara el profesorado de secundaria. Su objetivo global es conocer los criterios que se manejan a la hora de seleccionar el corpus formativo de los itinerarios de lectura en esta etapa educativa, así como las modalidades de lectura literaria empleadas y las actividades que se realizan en el aula. Los resultados muestran una considerable pervivencia del canon de literatura patrimonial, una incipiente normalización de la literatura juvenil, pero en itinerarios personales de lectura del alumnado sin apenas intervención del profesorado, y la ausencia de criterios específicos de progresión para consolidar la madurez interpretativa de los estudiantes. Las conclusiones apuntan a la necesidad de avanzar hacia prácticas más coherentes con el concepto de Educación Literaria y hacia la meta primordial de hacer lectores.
CONGRESSWOMAN ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: A GREEN NEW DEAL OUTRIDER

Authors: Rubio Antonio Daniel Juan , García Conesa Isabel María
Published: January 2023

Since 1899, at least one Hispanic has served in every Congress of the United States (U.S.). When the U.S. 116th Congress convened on January 3, 2019, it comprised the highest number of Hispanics in its history with a record of 48 between both chambers (44 in the House of Representatives and 4 in the Senate). This article focuses on the figure of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, perhaps being the most important emerging Hispanic member in the current Congress, whose top policy priority is a “Green New Deal”, a comprehensive plan to address climate change in the U.S.
