Authors: Suwarni Suwarni , Hanif Muhammad , Sudarmiani Sudarmiani
Published: September 2023

Latar Belakang: Rendahnya partisipasi belajar siswa di SD Negeri Bodag 01 ditunjukkan oleh banyaknya siswa yang kurang memahami materi pelajaran yang disampaikan guru, serta para siswa kurang antusias dalam bertanya, sehingga bisa dibuktikan hasil belajar yang tertera dalam hasil penilaian diatas KKM belum mencapai 75%.  
Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui dapat/tidaknya pendekatan kooperatif learning cell dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar IPS pada siswa kelas V SD Negeri Bodag 01 Kecamatan Kare Kabupaten Madiun.
Metode: Menerapkan metode atau pendekatan kooperatif learning cell melalui dua siklus, dan masing masing siklus terdiri dari 4 tahap kegiatan yaitu (1) Tahap penyusunan rencana tindakan; (2) Tahap pelaksanaan tindakan; (3) Tahap pengamatan atau observasi dan (4) Tahap perefleksian.
Hasil: Hasil yang dicapai  dalam penelitian ini dengan pendekatan kooperatif learning cell bahwa pada siklus I dan II, sebagaimana table 4.20 apabila KKM ditetapkan 75 maka pada siklus I siswa yang belum tuntas dalam belajarnya sebanyak 6 siswa atau 30% (perolehan nilai < KKM), sedangkan siswa yang tuntas belajar sebanyak 14 orang atau 70% (perolehan nilai < KKM), sedangkan pada siklus II siswa yang belum tuntas dalam belajarnya sejumlah 2 siswa atau 10% (perolehan nilai < KKM), sedangkan siswa yang tuntas belajar sebanyak 18 siswa atau 90% (perolehan nilai > KKM), hal ini berarti dengan metode kooperatif learning cell dalam KD 3.3 dan KD 4.3  terjadi kenaikan ketuntasan sebesar 20%.
Kesimpulan: Pendekatan kooperatif learning cell dapat  meningkatkan kemampuan dalam pembelajaran IPS, oleh sebab itu pendekatan  ini sebaiknya digunakan dalam upaya meningkatkan keaktifan siswa dan mengurangi dominasi guru dalam pembelajaran.

The Influence of Islamic Work Ethics and Islamic Leadership on Organizational Commitment and Performance of Government Employees (Study on the Makassar City Cleanliness Task Force)
Authors: Idrus Arifin , Bin MD Latip Azrin , Tenreng Mariana
Published: September 2023

This study aims to confirm the effect of Islamic work ethics and Islamic leadership on organizational commitment and performance of cleaning staff in Makassar City, which is predominantly Muslim, using 274 employees as a sample. The results of the WarpPLS 7.0 analysis provide evidence that Islamic work ethics is partially proven to increase organizational commitment, but Islamic leadership cannot have a significant effect on organizational commitment. Islamic work ethics and Islamic leadership make a real contribution to improving performance. The role of organizational commitment as an intervening variable is proven not to be a strong mediation in explaining the effect of Islamic work ethics and Islamic leadership on the performance of cleaning staff in Makassar City

Authors: Pond aag Reynard , Latief Yusuf
Published: September 2023

Appropriateness of costs in the process of building a high-rise building is one of the success criteria for a construction project. However, the main problem that is often faced by most construction projects is related to the occurrence of cost overruns. Quantity Surveyor has an important role in a construction project. According to IQSI, the role of the Quantity Surveyor consists of 4 main scopes, namely planning and controlling construction costs, documenting the completeness of tender documents, contract administration, and arbitration. This study aims to identify risk factors and risk ratings from the competency of the Quantity Surveyor that have the potential to cause cost overruns. The method used in this study is the Delphi method, to validate the risks obtained from the literature study. From the results of the analysis, 52 variables with a moderate level of risk were obtained, and 3 variables with a high level of risk in the pre-construction and construction stages which could cause cost overruns.
The City of Bălți on the Pages of the Newspaper „Бессарабское слово” (year 1936)
Authors: Mihalevschi Mariana
Published: September 2023

The Bessarabian press from the interwar period represents an important source in studying the socioeconomic and cultural aspects that took place in society. For example, the newspaper „Бессарабское слово” (eng. – Bessarabian word), a daily newspaper published in Chișinău, with a page dedicated to the county centers of Bessarabia. With reference to the year 1936, the correspondents responsible for Bălți County elucidated the current problems of Bălți society: the city budget and the distribution of money for administrative-economic problems, the road repairs, solutions for electrification, the sanitary and epidemiological situation, school, cultural and philanthropic events, the problems of the Jewish society, the strikes and social tensions, but also a series of other aspects that required the involvement of the local authorities or the Bălți society.
The Ethnic Profile of the City of Bălți in Different Periods of Development
Authors: Miron Marina , Miron Viorel
Published: September 2023

The authors of this article contribute to the research of the ethnic diversity of the city of Bălți throughout its history and the contribution of the ethnic groups to the socio-economic development of the town. The results of the research confirm the fact that this settlement was and remains inhabited by various ethnic groups, the main group being the native population. Although for a long time a family with Greek roots owned the locality, this did not lead to the formation of a large Greek community here. The most present in the socio-economic life during the 19th century – the first part of the 20th century was the Jewish community, who at that time reached more than 50% of the city’s population, dealing mainly with commerce and providing services. Other ethnicities (Poles, Germans, Russians, Ukrainians, Greeks and Armenians, etc.) were insignificant in terms of population in the city of Bălți during the above-mentioned period. The annexation of Bessarabia in 1940 by the USSR with the subsequent installation of the Soviet regime resulted in the substantial reduction of the number of Jews from the ethnic picture of Bălți and a significant increase in the number of Russians and Ukrainians in this locality during the Soviet period. As a result, after more than 30 years of independence, approximately 41% of the city’s population still declare Russian as their mother tongue.

This article constitutes a first attempt to approach the history of the establishment and activity of the Association of Teachers from the county and municipality of Bălți between the two world wars, through the prism of the periodical publications that it initiated, edited and promoted in those years – Association Bulletin and Magazine. Aspects regarding the history of the Association in the interwar period and its main concerns are dealt with: improving the material base of education within the county, modernizing the teaching process, defending and promoting the demands and professional rights of the teaching staff, the activity of the Teachers’ Bank from Bălți County, the organization of circles and cultural homes etc. The activity of the Association of Teachers from the city and county of Bălți between the two world wars fully confirms the truth expressed even in those years, that the fair and land of Bălți was not only an important economic and commercial center of Bessarabia, but also a strong cultural center.
Meer Brestecico’s Brewery in the City of Bălți
Authors: Postarencu Dinu
Published: September 2023

The study uses archival sources and the press of the time regarding the development of the brewing industry in Bessarabia, in the first decades of the 20th century. The first attestations date back to 1901 and refer to the existence of seven breweries in Bessarabia: three – in the town of Hotin, one – in the town of Soroca, two – in the town of Chișinău and one – in the town of Bender. In the report of the governor of Bessarabia for 1904, the preponderance of the number of breweries in the northern area of the province is emphasized, and in 1905, in addition to the existing seven breweries, a brewery in Bălţi is registered. In 1909, 11 breweries were already active on the territory of Bessarabia, including the presence of a new enterprise, opened in the town of Bălţi, whose owner was Meer Brestecico. The research presents important aspects of the interwar history of the brewery of Meer Brestecico in the city of Bălţi, until the time of the confiscation of the enterprise by the Soviet state, in the period 1940–1941.
The Process of Appropriating the Inhabitants of Bălți During the Years 1932–1933
Authors: Molcosean Ana
Published: September 2023

The year 1921 was an important one for the inhabitants of Greater Romania, who benefited from the stipulations of the Agrarian Reform regarding ownership and, respectively, the right to build a house. In Bessarabia, the Agrarian Reform served as the basis for a real campaign to distribute land plots to the local population, between 1925–1937, including the inhabitants of Balti. Beyond the main goal of the Romanian administration to increase the number of residents through the land acquisition procedure, we note the City Hall’s direct interest in obtaining management of the estate properties of the Catargi and Crupenschi families, on whose estates, by 1922, the city Balti. The study analyzes the context and the problems faced by the local administration in the process of allotment the residents of Balti, the urban development perspectives of the city are elucidated, including those of an aesthetic nature, such as the architectural style provided for future buildings, the ambience of neighborhoods with civil constructions and the actions provided for the greening of the city area. Also, based on archival sources and unpublished works, the problems generated by allotment even in the environment of the urban community were identified, among which we distinguish the subject of the transfer of the Orthodox Cemetery from the “Pamanteni” neighborhood to a neighborhood on the outskirts of the city or, even more frequently, the problem of repeated distribution of the lot due to the postponement of the subdivision plan and the change of place to other parts of the city. The analysis of these aspects contributes to the knowledge of the historical period and the consequences of the appropriation undertaken by the local authorities during the years 1932–1933 in the city of Bălți.

Authors: Dokko Joana Regina , Fávero Caroline Simões , Scaraficci Ana Claudia , Prakki Anuradha , Rios Daniela , Marques Honorio Heitor
Published: September 2023

Objectives: Considering that Cranberry’s components might inhibit dentin metalloproteinases exposed to erosive agents, the aim of this study was to evaluate in situ effect of a Cranberry gel application on dentin before an erosive challenge.

Methods: This crossover double-blinded study was performed in 2 phases of 5 days each, with 10 healthy volunteers who wore 2 palatal devices (1 for each phase) with 4 dentin specimens (2 specimens for each group). The groups under study were; First Phase: G1 - Erosive challenge (Coca-cola®) over dentin without any previous treatment (1st negative control group); G2 - Erosive challenge over dentin previously treated with Cranberry gel (test group); and Second Phase: G3 - Erosive challenge over dentin previously treated with a gel without any active principle (2ndnegative control group); G4 - Erosive challenge over dentin previously treated with 0.12% Chlorhexidine gel (positive control group). Each device was immersed into the acid beverage, 3 times daily for 5 minutes during 5 days. Profilometry (µm) was used to quantify the dentin wear. Data were analyzed by Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance followed by Fisher's test (p<0.05).

Results: Data (G1: 4.98 ± 1.36a; G2: 3.29 ± 1.16b; G3: 4.38 ± 1.19a; G4: 3.32 ± 1.55b) showed no statistical difference between G1 and G3. There was also no difference between G2 and G4. However, G2 and G4 presented lower wear when compared to G1 and G3, and this difference was statistically significant.

Conclusion: The results of this study suggest a significant efficacy of Cranberry gel in preventing wear of dentin subjected to dental erosion.

What is the evidence for common descent?

And that, of course, is quite true: common descent is a scientific theory, and a certain body of evidence supports that theory.

The ORCELLE Project – Towards Wind-Powered Ships for Deep Sea Cargo Transport
Authors: Werner Sofia , Papanikolaou Apostolos , Werner Sofia , Fagergren Carl , Dessen Lars , Kuttenkeuler Jakob , Santén Vendela , Steinbach Christoph
Published: September 2023

International regulations on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as strong market demand for zero-emission transport calls for a radical change in the shipping industry. Measures such as hull form optimization, use of alternative fuels and efficient machinery systems, new coatings, and smart routing have already improved the energy efficiency of the world fleet and to some extent its GHG emissions. However, it is far from enough. To make the drastic leap that we need in order to meet the climate challenges, we must turn to emission-free energy sources. One such promising and well-proven zero-emission propulsion system for shipping is wind propulsion. Using wind to power cargo vessels restarted on a commercial scale about a decade ago. Currently, there are 25+ wind-assisted vessels in commercial trade. They are equipped with technologies like Flettner rotors, wings or kites, which gives fuel reductions in the magnitude of 1-20 %. Although these are significant fuel savings, this is still not enough to effectively respond to the challenges for zero GHG emissions of the maritime industry. With the goal of demonstrating that even higher energy reduction and drastic reduction of emissions is possible, 11 representatives of the European maritime industry and research community have recently joined forces in the large scale EU-funded project Orcelle, led by Wallenius Wilhelmsen Ocean. The current paper will present the project’s ambition, scope of work and expected outcome.
An Exploration of “Embodied Moral Education” in the “Three Rites”
Authors:   Yixin Publisher, Shen Nan
Published: September 2023

The “Three Rites” from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the early Western Han Dynasty contain Confucian ethics and social and political thoughts, which can provide nourishment for the study of “embodied moral education”. There are three main manifestations. Firstly, everyone should pay attention to the cultivation of inner morality, even if they live alone, they should be self-disciplined and cautious. Secondly, ,as disciples, they should pay attention to the details of their words and actions when dealing with their teachers and masters, and be sincere and humble in situations such as seeking advice, traveling together, and sweeping. Thirdly, as officials, they should educate the people according to local conditions and the times, “Practice the six rites, clarify the seven teachings, and Doing eight things”, pay attention to the regulation of the people’s bodies by etiquette, and promote the integrity and simplicity of the people and the peace and harmony of the society. The “Three Rites” fully considered the fact that “the body shapes morality”, and the concept of moral education in them has gone through thousands of years. Today, we abandon formality and inherit Zhongzheng, witnessing the wisdom of the sages to enlighten the present and guide the future.

Authors:   Yixin Publisher, Tian Zhanying
Published: September 2023

As one of the most densely populated areas in the ancient Central Plains, Jiyuan was adjacent to Jishui at that time. Its social and economic development was rapid, and the growth of economy and population made the local environmental problems increasingly severe. This study is based on the content of stele inscriptions in Jiyuan and focuses on exploring the environmental awareness of people in Jiyuan from the perspective of water resource management. The stele inscriptions in the Jiyuan area of the Qing Dynasty indicate that the area began to attach importance to land protection and ecological environment improvement, and at that time, this folk environmental awareness in the Jiyuan area was closely related to the governance of the Yellow River. Studying the inscriptions reflecting folk environmental awareness in Jiyuan in that time can provide certain historical basis and reference value for contemporary environmental governance.

Authors:   Yixin Publisher, Zhang Guoqiang
Published: September 2023

In the strategy of rural revitalization, cultural revitalization and organizational revitalization both require the realization of governance by law at the grass-roots level in rural areas, which puts forward new requirements for the construction of the rule of law in rural areas. However, the current construction of the rule of law in rural areas in China is a weak link in the comprehensive rule of law. As an important part of the rural public legal service system, the legal adviser system plays a very important role in the construction of the rule of law in the vast rural areas. However, the defects of the current rural legal adviser system cannot meet the urgent needs of the rule of law and the rural revitalization strategy for the construction of the rule of law in rural areas. In view of the existing specific problems, we should improve the rural legal adviser system from the aspects of legal adviser selection, service quality improvement, service process optimization, strengthening financial security, supervision and assessment, and ensure that legal advisers play a better role in the process of building the rule of law in rural areas, which is conducive to the realization of comprehensive rule of law and rural revitalization strategy.
