Authors: Salmanizadeh Farzad , Ahmadian Leila , Ameri Arefeh
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Various training methods such as web-based training tools have been developed to achieve the potential benefits of classification systems developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). Given that users of these tools have different levels of capability, usability problems could reduce the speed and accuracy of learning among users interacting with these tools. This study aims to identify usability problems of web-based training tools under the WHO family of international classifications (WHO-FIC).Methods: In this descriptive and cross-sectional study, ten trained evaluators independently examined WHO-FIC training tools using the heuristic evaluation method. The identified problems were classified into 10 Nielsen’s usability heuristics. Then, their average severity was calculated.Results: In total, 40 usability problems were identified after merging and eliminating the duplicates. The highest number of problems was related to ICD-10 training tool (n=20). The highest number of problems was related to heuristics of aesthetic and minimalist design (25.0%), and user control and freedom (17.5%). Heuristics of flexibility and efficiency of use and helping users recognize, diagnose and recover from errors had the highest average severity of problems.Conclusion: Violating heuristics of aesthetic and minimalist design, user control and freedom and recognition rather than recall were among the most common problems of WHO-FIC training tools. Evaluators reported that half of the user interface problems of WHO-FIC training tools were of major and catastrophe type. Solving the usability problems of these tools could lead to ease of work, increased speed of learning and acceptance of these systems among users.

Published: May 2023

Enrichment is important for animal welfare and data quality. Provision of enrichment opportunities varies between species and enrichment category. However, data benchmarking these differences does not exist. Our objective was to characterize enrichment provision and associated factors
across species in the US and Canada. Personnel who work with research animals (n = 1098) in the US and Canada voluntarily responded to online promotions and completed a survey about enrichment used for the species they worked with most, their control of and wish for more enrichment,
stress or pain in the animals they worked the most with, and demographics. All participants (except those working with rats) received the same questionnaire regardless of species to allow objectivity, as the effects of many enrichment items on some species have not yet been determined. The
questionnaire asked about enrichments that were beneficial to at least one species. The provision of enrichment was allocated into 2 outcome variables: diversity and frequency per enrichment category. Results showed a significant interaction between enrichment category and species. Generally,
physical, nutritional, and sensory enrichments were provided less often than social enrichment. In addition, nonhuman primates received more diverse and more frequent enrichment than did other species (twice as much as rats and mice). Enrichment was provided less frequently by personnel who
wished they could do more than the status quo. Both enrichment frequency and diversity were higher in respondents from Canada, those who had more control over provision, and those who had been in the field longer. While our results cannot be used to determine the quality of enrichment provided
to various species, they do provide information on current enrichment practices in the US and Canada and identify differences in implementation by species and enrichment category. The data also indicate provision of enrichment is influenced by factors such as country and individual control
over enrichment. This information can also be used to identify areas for greater enrichment efforts for some species (for example, rats and mice) and categories, with the ultimate goal of improving animal welfare.
Mediational moves and reciprocity behaviors in face-to-face and mobile-assisted dynamic assessment
Authors: ŞÜKÜR Murat , YILMAZ YAKIŞIK Burçak , YANGIN EKŞİ Gonca
Published: May 2023

Research on dynamic assessment (DA) has been conducted on the efficiency of either face-to-face (F2F) or mobile-assissted (MA) DA sessions. However, the studies investigating the difference between these sessions conducted in the foreign language learning context are scarce. Thus, this study aims to explore the differences between F2F and MA DA sessions in terms of the mediator’s mediational moves and learners’ reciprocity behaviors. To this end, F2F and MA DA sessions were held with four tertiary level learners. Then the mediational moves and reciprocity behaviors employed in these sessions were explored through qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the interactions occurred between the mediator and the learner in F2F and MA contexts were generally carried out effectively. However, it is noteworthy that the learners made more inaccurate responses and used L1 more in F2F DA sessions. In contrast to this, the learners made more careful attempts in MA DA sessions. Moreover, the teacher as a mediator tended to give more approval to the learners’ responses to eliminate the disadvantage of restricted context of MA DA. In light of these findings, pedagogical implications were suggested for both language teachers and researchers.

Authors: Yudina Natalya Vladimirovna , Kalugina Olga Anatolevna
Published: May 2023

The aim of the study is to identify the content minimum of the DIGITAL ECONOMY concept in the English-language discursive practice. The paper considers the theoretical and methodological approaches of scientists to the frame-based representation of the concept in scientific literature; identifies and presents a graphical and content minimum of the DIGITAL ECONOMY concept; proposes a thematic categorisation of the DIGITAL ECONOMY concept. The scientific novelty of the work is expressed in the fact that the application of theoretical and methodological approaches to the frame-based representation of the concept made it possible to determine the subframe and slots of the DIGITAL ECONOMY concept and highlight the thematic categories of the concept. As a result of the study, the subframe and slots of the DIGITAL ECONOMY concept, including the lexical units and phrases “digital technology”, “internet”, “information and communication technology”, “data”, have been identified; 15 thematic categories of the DIGITAL ECONOMY concept have been outlined; the largest thematic categories, such as “Artificial Intelligence”, “Technology” and “Digital Money and Transactions”, have been determined. The identification of these components will contribute to the objectification of the linguistic world image in the English-language discursive practice.
Linguistic features of the German terminological system of marketing
Authors: Petryanina Olga Valeryevna , Revina Elena Vladimirovna
Published: May 2023

The paper addresses the issues related to the study of the morphological and lexico-semantic structure of German-language terms in economic discourse, which contributes to a more complete understanding of the processes of term formation and the laws of their functioning in a specialised language. The research aims to give a comprehensive description of the German terminology that enables professional communication in the field of marketing. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that the analysed vocabulary as a marker of a highly specialised discourse is studied in conjunction with purposeful pragmatic and socio-psychological actions, which allows it to be interpreted most fully taking into account certain cognitive processes, i.e. from the perspective of how such language definitions are perceived by the audience for which they are intended. Word-formation models of terminological notions are also considered. As a result of the research, it has been found that lexical units in professional discourse, being the means for naming complex notions, differ, on the one hand, in the maximum capacity of the content and, on the other hand, in the maximum recognisability and free reproducibility. This function is implemented primarily by multicomponent composite words, which, possessing nominative integrity and compressive potential, eliminate the syntactic cumbersomeness of sentences, conveying in a concise form the content of a professional text.
Ion-Pair Chromatography for the Determination of Capreomycin Sulfate Components and Related Substances
Authors: Yakupov I. Yu. , Kuleshova S. I. , Simonova E. P. , Demidov A. S.
Published: May 2023

Chromatographic methods for the analysis of antibiotic degradation products are widely used to evaluate the quality of medicines. Natural multicomponent antibiotics, such as capreomycin, are the most challenging compounds in terms of developing analytical procedures for related substances. Capreomycin sulfate monographs of the leading pharmacopoeias do not contain specifications for related substances. The key requirement concerns the sum of the main components of capreomycin calculated by normalising the peak areas in the test solution chromatogram. Therefore, it is important to develop an analytical procedure for determining not only the main components but also related substances of capreomycin.

The aim of the study was to develop an analytical procedure for determining both the main components (IA, IB, IIA, and IIB) and related substances of capreomycin by ion-pair ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC).

Materials and methods. This study examined capreomycin sulfate powder, an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Capreomycin sulfate solutions were analysed after artificial degradation (alkaline or acid hydrolysis) to demonstrate the resolution, selectivity, and efficiency of the experimental chromatographic system. The authors used an Agilent 1100 liquid chromatography instrument (Agilent Technologies) and chromatographic columns: Kinetex C18, YMC-Triart С18, ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18, ACQUITY UPLC BEH C8, ACQUITY UPLC BEH Phenyl, and ACQUITY UPLC CSH C18 (experimental procedure) or Acclaim C18, Zorbax SB-C18, and XBridge BEH130 C18 (The International Pharmacopoeia procedure).

Results. In contrast to pharmacopoeial procedures, which evaluate only the component composition, the experimental procedure under the selected chromatography conditions can determine both the component composition and related substances of capreomycin. This advantage results from substituting a column packed with 1.7 µm particles for a 5 µm column required for pharmacopoeial procedures. The experimental procedure remains suitable for liquid chromatography instruments with a pressure limit of no more than 400 bar in the gradient elution mode with two mobile phases. According to the efficiency and selectivity evaluation, ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 columns (150 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 µm) provide optimal peak resolution for capreomycin isoforms and related substances after artificial degradation of capreomycin.

Conclusions. This experimental procedure based on ion-pair UHPLC may be used in the production and stability testing of capreomycin medicines to evaluate the API quality by the content of its main components and related substances.

Published: May 2023

Invited experts who study and teach economic history in American, Romanian, Swedish, and Ukrainian universities answer questions about the recent trends and perspectives in the economic history of Eastern Europe. They demonstrate how the relationship between history and other disciplines developed in Eastern European scholarship. They explain the reasons for the relatively underdeveloped scholarly community of the field in the region. Finally, they talk about the applicable theories and concepts which could challenge Gerschenkron’s theoretical framework when discussing the history of economy and business in Eastern Europe. Authors mostly accept the suggested statement that the economic history of Eastern Europe is institutionally underdeveloped if compared with Western scholarship. At the same time, they see the situation as a good opportunity for the development of new research projects. The authors emphasize the necessity to “learn the language of other disciplines” as well as to develop skills in data analysis. They also point out that to explain the global economic transformations in history, working with archival sources and understanding the context are as important as the application of economic theories and quantitative analysis.

A magyarországi német nyelvjárások jövője a nemzetiségi iskolákban
Authors: Márkus Éva , Klein Ágnes
Published: May 2023

A magyarországi német nyelvjárások jelen helyzetével az oktatásban már több tanulmány foglalkozott a közelmúltban. Tanulmányunkban azt tárgyaljuk, hogy a magyarországi német nyelvjárásoknak milyen jövője lehet a német nemzetiségi iskolarendszerben. Összefüggésben azzal, hogy a nyelvjárásoknak egyre kevesebb aktív használója, “beszélője” van, írásunkban azt vizsgáljuk, ezt a kulturális örökséget hogyan lehetne a fiatalabb generáció tagjai számára továbbadni. A nemzetiségi iskolák számára készített tantervek és a nemzetiségi szervezetek ajánlásai egyaránt fontosnak tartják, hogy a gyerekek a közoktatás rendszerében ismerjék meg őseik nyelvét is, ne csak a német köznyelvet. A szerzők is e mellett érvelnek, valamint a modern kor oktatási módszereit, elsősorban az online felületek használatát, multimediális oktatási segédeszközök fejlesztését szorgalmazzák. Ezek az oktatási segédletek, - például egy online nyelvjárási gyermeknyelvi adatbank -, megkönnyítik a pedagógusok dolgát, akik maguk sem beszélnek és/vagy értenek német nyelvjárásokat. Az adatbank gyermekirodalmi nyelvjárási szövegeket is tartalmaz, benne készen kapják a pedagógusok a gyermekek számára megfelelő nyelvjárási szókincsanyagot, köznyelvi német jelentéssel és autentikus kiejtéssel együtt. További előnye, hogy bárhonnan elérhető, így használhatják szülők, gyerekek, pedagógusok egyaránt. Dél-tiroli mintára írásunkban nyelvjárási iskolai nyelvtan- és iskolai szótár készítésére egyaránt javaslatot teszünk.

Published: May 2023

Higher physical activity (PA) in children and adolescents is very important. One of its main predictors is a positive physical self-concept (Babic et al., 2014). PA behavior changed drastically during corona pandemic as for instance physical education (PE) was omitted widely in schools, and may therefore had a negative effect on PSC. In this study, we examine the relationship between the amount of PE during second pandemic lockdown in Germany on PSC, while considering effects of other types of PA. Data of N = 1439 German children and adolescents (6-18y, 704 fem.) from the ‘Motorik-Modul’ study (MoMo) were analyzed. All participants filled in an online questionnaire during the second lockdown of the corona pandemic, including demographic information, PSC (global, strength and endurance), and PE hours and PA (Sports Club, Leisure Time). Covariates were age, sex, and their interactions. Linear mixed models were used. PE during lockdown did not significantly relate to any PSC domain. For Sports Club PA, however, interaction with sex were significant for all PSC domains, indicating stronger positive relationships in female compared to male individuals. In addition, older individuals showed a stronger relationship between Leisure Time PA and PSCglobal and PSCendurance as well as between Sports Club PA and PSCstrength compared to younger individuals. PE classes during lockdown had no effect on PSC. In contrast, higher PA in sports clubs and leisure time seemed to promote a positive PSC during lockdown II, particularly in female children and adolescents. More specialized interventions should be implemented to improve PSC by PE, and availability of sports clubs and daily activities might be expanded.

Published: May 2023

Childhood obesity is associated with various adverse health outcomes. Restrictive measures to contain the spread of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, like lockdowns and school closures, affected children’s daily structure, physical activity, dietary habits, and sleep quality, possibly exacerbating risk factors for childhood obesity and higher body mass index (BMI) in children. In particular, as poor socioeconomic conditions tend to favor obesogenic environments, children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds (SEBs) may have been at relatively higher risk for elevated BMI levels following pandemic measures. In this study, the impact of measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic on the BMI of third graders was investigated with regard to children’s SEB. Data from 41,728 children (8.84 ± 0.56 years, 20,431 female) were collected in the context of the longitudinal cohort study “Berlin hat Talent” and analyzed as part of the PESCov DFG project. Children were tested either before the pandemic (preCOVID: Sept2017 - March2020, n = 26,314), or following the first (post_"LD I" : Aug2020 - Dec2020, n = 6,657) or second lockdown in Germany (post_"LD II" : Aug2021 - Jan2022, n = 8,757). Demographic variables were collected via questionnaires. SEB was based on the official school type classification of the state of Berlin. Linear mixed effect models were computed to account for the hierarchical nature of the data, i.e. children (level 1) nested in schools (level 2). Outcome measures were age- and sex-adjusted BMI standard deviation scores (SDS). Independent variables were Time (preCOVID, post_"LD I" , post_"LD II" ), SEB (continuous, -2 - 2), and the interaction thereof. Covariates were Age, Gender, and Month of Test. Significant effects of Time (p < .05) and SEB (p < .001) revealed elevated BMIs in post_"LD I" and post_"LD II" compared to preCOVID cohorts and higher BMIs for children with lower SEB. A significant Time x SEB interaction (p < .01) indicated that the effect of SEB on children’s BMI increased in response to lockdowns, especially in post_"LD II" . Results suggest that the COVID-19-related measures lead to increased BMI in children, and that children of lower SEB were at particular risk for higher BMIs following lockdowns. These findings denote an alarming trend and emphasize the necessity for countermeasures to reduce lockdown-related BMI increments in children, particularly in low SEB areas. Authorities are called into action to promote physical activity of children and establish post-pandemic offers to counteract the risk of increasing rates of childhood obesity and related adverse health outcomes.

Published: May 2023

Negative mental health effects of the first months of corona pandemic and associated lockdowns (LD) are evident for children and adolescents. Given supportive effects of physical activity (PA) beyond pandemics, this study aims to determine (1) whether health-related quality of life (HRQoL) decreased during prolonged LD and (2) if PA was a resource to maintain HRQoL. Data of a German representative sample of N = 1,322 children and adolescents from the independent in-depth Corona-study of the ‘Motorik-Modul’ study (MoMo) were analyzed. Participants filled in online surveys at t0 = Pre pandemic (2018 – 2020), t1 = LD I (04/2020) and t2 = LD II (02/2021), including socio-demographic information, PA and HRQoL. Linear mixed effects models were conducted to predict LD effects and their interaction with PA on HRQoL. Age, sex, parents’ income, education, and job and four factors of living environment as well as their interactions with LD were added to investigate potential risk factors. There are significant main effects on HRQoL from pre to LD I and to LD II as well as for PA. PA had a positive interaction effect on HRQoL from pre to LD II, but not to LD I. Other significant main effects show higher HRQoL for higher parents’ income, better walking opportunities in living environment controlled for age and sex. From pre to LD I positive effects exist for parents’ income. HRQoL decreased during both LDs while PA shows a generally positive effect on HRQoL. The positive effect of PA on HRQoL was particularly pronounced during LDII. Policy debates about social distancing instruments like homeschooling need an ongoing attention to PA and their effects on mental health. Further, especially low-income families suffered from LD I and need to be addressed particularly in future crisis.

In addition, we summarize a number of leading practices which may be applied to other projects/domains as well as suggest a generalized process for doing so. This paper describes the history of the effort, the technical and decision-making processes used to resolve differences between semantic resources, and describes a number of the issues encountered, with a focus on those that were addressed during the effort. Lessons learned, examples of the problems encountered and a summary of resulting leading practices growing out of this work is provided as an aid to semantic harmonization efforts in other domains by other groups.
The Interplay of Theory and Measurement in the Structure of Identity Disturbance
Authors: Nielsen Sienna , Wright Aidan G.C.
Published: May 2023

Impairments in identity, collectively called identity disturbance, are considered core to psychopathology, with identity disturbance contributing to emotional and interpersonal problems across psychiatric diagnoses. Despite its centrality in theories of personality and psychopathology, there is remarkably little empirical research on mechanisms of identity disturbance. The present project examines the interplay between contemporary theory and assessments of identity disturbance, with the goal of elucidating a clear structure of identity disturbance to advance both theory and measurement. Towards this aim, the present project a) investigates the factor structure of identity disturbance in existing self-report measures, using exploratory factor analysis and b) examines relationships between identity disturbance and closely related constructs, using exploratory structural equation modeling. The present project assesses responses from 632 undergraduates to 17 commonly used identity functioning self-report measures. In a series of exploratory factor analyses, we identified four factors of Identity Disturbance (Self-Alienation, Susceptibility to External Influence, Self-Dysregulation, and Contingent Self-Esteem) and three factors of Identity Clarity (Self-Consistency, Reflective Functioning, and Authentic Living). In a series of exploratory structural equation models, we examined the relationship between emergent factors and personality, emotion regulation, and values and problems in interpersonal relationships in an emerging adult sample.

To understand psychological data, it is crucial to examine the structure and dimensions ofvariables. In this study, we examined alternative estimation algorithms to the conventionalGLASSO-based exploratory graph analysis (EGA; Golino and Epskamp, 2017) innetwork psychometric models to assess the dimensionality structure of the data. The studyapplied Bayesian conjugate or Jeffreys' priors to estimate the graphical structure and thenused the Louvain community detection algorithm to partition and identify groups of nodes,which allowed the detection of the multi- and unidimensional factor structures. MonteCarlo simulations suggested that the two alternative Bayesian estimation algorithms hadcomparable or better performance when compared with the GLASSO-based EGA andconventional parallel analysis (PA). When estimating the multidimensional factorstructure, the analytically based method (i.e., EGA.analytical) showed the best balancebetween accuracy and mean biased/absolute errors, with the highest accuracy tied withEGA but with the smallest errors. The sampling-based approach (EGA.sampling) yieldedhigher accuracy and smaller errors than PA; lower accuracy but also lower errors thanEGA. Techniques from the two algorithms had more stable performance than EGA andPA across different data conditions. When estimating the unidimensional structure, thePA technique performed the best, followed closely by EGA, and then EGA.analytical andEGA.sampling. Furthermore, the study explored four full Bayesian techniques to assessdimensionality in network psychometrics. The results demonstrated superior performancewhen using Bayesian hypothesis testing or deriving posterior samples of graph structuresunder small sample size. The study recommends using the EGA.analytical technique as analternative tool for assessing dimensionality and advocates for the usefulness of theEGA.sampling method as a valuable alternate technique. The findings also indicatedencouraging results for extending the regularization-based network modeling EGA methodto the Bayesian framework and discussed future directions in this line of work. The study illustrated the practical application of the techniques to two empirical examples in R.
A scoping review of functioning features of children said to have Pathological Demand Avoidance: providing a conciliatory neurodiversity stance.

Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) has been regarded as a separate diagnostic category by some, while others see it as part of other diagnoses, such as Autism. This study contributes to this debate, by providing a conciliatory stance, aligned with the neurodiversity paradigm. A scoping literature review on Pathological Demand Avoidance (and related terms) has been conducted to systematically identify the everyday life functioning features mentioned in the empirical research as key for children with PDA, using the taxonomy of the International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF). Results show a significant overlap of key functioning features between children with PDA and Autistic children, as well as with children with other diagnoses such as ADHD. We argue that by adopting a neurodiversity stance, which the ICF can help promote, the debate around what constitutes PDA and what constitutes Autism becomes less relevant. It is more important to focus on the specific and identified everyday life participation issues that may, at certain points in time, become overwhelming for Autistic children (with or without PDA) and to children with PDA (with or without co-existing diagnoses).
The Janus face of risk taking: Understanding laypeople’s representations of risk taking from face impressions
Authors: Walker Mirella , Lambertus Michael , Mata Rui
Published: May 2023

Risk taking has often been associated with harmful behaviors, but recent work has emphasized the importance of understanding both its negative and positive facets. We aimed to contribute to this effort by mapping laypeople’s representations of risk taking using a novel approach that relies on examining impression formation of multiple personality and social dimensions from faces. The first two exploratory studies identified reliable facial correlates of perceived risk taking and revealed that impressions of risk taking show associations with impressions of positive (agency, extraversion) and negative traits (low conscientiousness, threat) and identified systematic differences as a function of the gender of target faces. Study 3 was a preregistered study aimed at predicting naïve participants’ impressions of risk taking in systematically modeled male and female faces. Study 3 suggests our new face models can be used to manipulate perceived levels of risk taking and that such manipulations can have an impact on the perceived valence of faces. All in all, our results suggest that laypeople’s conceptual representations of others’ risk taking are associated with both positive and negative components that can be understood and manipulated using face modeling.

The present research evaluated whether behavioral tasks (“direct assessments”) commonly used to assess young children’s social cognitive development in laboratory studies could have utility for measuring and predicting U.S. children’s outcomes in educational contexts. To do so, children (N = 95; 49 boys, 46 girls; 41.05% White, 16.84% Hispanic, 14.74% Black, 13.68% Asian, 11.58% Multiracial, 2.11% American Indian/Alaska Native) in a publicly funded pre-kindergarten (4K) program in the United States completed 9 direct assessments that capture important skills in early childhood (e.g., task switching, group conformity preference, theory of mind). The school district also provided children’s 4K and kindergarten grades (assessed through teacher ratings of children) to evaluate whether direct assessments had additional explanatory power over-and-above existing metrics of children’s aptitude. Across the direct assessments, children’s group conformity preferences (i.e., the extent to which children preferred members of the same group to behave in the same way) were most reliably correlated with concurrent (4K) and predictive of future (kindergarten) grades, even when controlling for teacher ratings of children’s concurrent performance. Interestingly, teacher ratings of children on each assessment loaded onto a single factor despite the intention to capture theoretically distinct components of children’s school performance. Discussion focuses on the implications of direct assessments in educational contexts and critical areas for future research at the interface of psychology and education.

Pengenalan dan penguasaan huruf hijaiyah yang merupakan dasar untuk membaca dan mempelajari Kitab Suci Al Quran sejak dini sangatlah penting, karena jika pada saat membaca huruf hijaiyah sudah terbiasa dengan kata-kata yang salah maka akan dapat menimbulkan arti yang berbeda sehingga kita dituntun untuk membaca secara baik dan benar. Metode dalam belajar huruf hijaiyah biasanya diberikan oleh Guru ngaji secara tradisional (konvensional) atau orang sering menyebutnya metode turutan. Dengan metode seperti ini anak cenderung pasif dalam menerima pelajaran mengajinya, karena guru ngaji menerangkan anak dalam membaca huruf hijaiyah secara lisan, tulisan dan Bahasa tubuh. Media Pembelajaran untuk mempelajari huruf hijaiyah sendiri dianggap masih kurang interaktif selain itu minat membaca bukusemakin menghilang dengan adanya mobile smartphone android. Maka, media pembelajaran huruf hijaiyah akan dirancang menjadi aplikasi mobile android yang akan memuat konten gambar dan audio sehingga mempermudah dalam mempelajari huruf hijaiyah dan membuat menjadi lebih interaktif. Model yang digunakan dalam perancangan aplikasi android tentang huruf hijaiyah adalah model pengembangan waterfall. Model waterfall menyediakan pendekatan alur hidup perangkat lunak secara sekuensial atau terurut. Tujuan pembuatan aplikasi ini adalah untukmeyediakan media pembelajaran yang interaktif dan menyenangkan agar anak tidak mudah bosan untuk belajar mengenal huruf hijaiyah sekaligus untuk memanfaatkan teknologi yang sekarang serba modern apalagi dimasa pandemi ini.
