Authors: Eryansyah Eryansyah
Published: December 2024

Students’ motivation and engagement are two crucial variables in EFL teaching. One strategy to improve them is via altering teaching approaches. Theme-based instruction was deemed effective in boosting EFL students’ motivation and engagement. The reason for conducting this study was to assess how theme-based instruction affected the motivation and engagement of non-English major students in EFL teaching and learning activities. A mixed-method research approach was employed to uncover elements that boosted students’ motivation and engagement in learning English utilizing theme-based instruction. The respondents employed in this study were students of a history education study program from a state-owned university in South Sumatra, Indonesia. Interviews and questionnaires were utilized to collect data for this study. While data from interviews were evaluated thematically, data from questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS. The results of the questionnaire demonstrated higher mean scores for attitude toward the approach, affect, motivation, self-confidence, and sense of improvement before and after the students' EFL teaching and learning activities were intervened with a theme-based instructional approach. These statistics demonstrated positive impact of theme-based educational approach. Findings from interviews revealed three elements affecting students’ motivation and engagement in EFL teaching with the approach. These included teacher factors, peer and teacher impact, and sense of improvement in English learning. In summary, theme-based instruction increased non-majoring-in-English students' performance in EFL teaching and learning activities.

Published: December 2024

This study addresses the limitations in current learning tools for vocational machining skills, which impede active engagement, independent study, and optimal learning outcomes. To address these challenges, an e-module for Lathe Machining Engineering was developed using a Service Learning approach to enhance learning effectiveness through valid, practical, and effective instructional resources. The development followed the ADDIE model, encompassing Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. Data were collected from teachers, subject-matter experts, and students to assess the e-module's validity, practicality, and effectiveness. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. The e-module was found to be valid across multiple criteria: content feasibility (0.85), presentation quality (0.86), language suitability (0.82), Work-Based Learning (WBL) alignment (0.94), and incorporation of the Service Learning approach (0.83). Practicality was high, with student and teacher responses averaging 90.8%. Effectiveness, measured by a gain score of 0.60, fell in the medium category, indicating improved learning outcomes. The findings suggest that the Service Learning-based e-module is a robust learning medium for enhancing machining competencies in vocational education. Its integration of active learning principles addresses gaps in engagement and independent study, supporting its practical application in technical education settings. The Lathe Machining Engineering e-module, grounded in a Service Learning approach, is valid, practical, and effective. Future research should explore its long-term impact on student performance and adaptability across diverse technical disciplines.

ТИПИ БАТЬКІВСЬКОГО СТАВЛЕННЯ ДО ДІТЕЙ ТА ПРОБЛЕМА АДАПТИВНИХ СІМЕЙНИХ ВЗАЄМОСТОСУНКІВ
Authors: Главінська Еліна
Published: December 2024

In the article we’ve shown that the types of parental attitudes towards children predict the essence of adaptive family relationships. It was determined that contradictory and humiliating parenting often causes the formation of an aggressive-protective type of behavior of children with increased excitability and instability; despotic upbringing, in turn, is a passively protective type of behavior with inhibitory reactions, timidity, uncertainty and dependence; overexertion or avoidance facilitate the upbringing of an infantile type of behavior with rather bright affective reactions.
It is noted that the implementation of these principles largely depends on the type of family upbringing. These types are: the autocratic type; a democratic type; a liberal type; a chaotic type.
The following variants of parental behavior, which determine adaptive or maladaptive family relationships, are singled out: the strict style of parenting, characterized by forceful and directive methods that suppress a child’s initiative, and the explanatory style, which emphasizes reasoning and equality between parent and child. The autonomous style encourages independence by allowing children to make their own decisions, while the compromise style involves collaboration and shared responsibilities. The facilitative style supports active parental involvement and timely assistance, whereas the sympathetic style focuses on emotional empathy without direct intervention. The self-destructive approach prioritizes the child’s comfort at the parents’ expense, and the situational style bases decisions on the specific context without a consistent strategy. Lastly, the dependent style reflects a lack of parental confidence, with reliance on external guidance or delegation of responsibilities. These behavioral patterns significantly affect family dynamics and the child’s social and emotional development, highlighting the critical role of parenting in fostering adaptive relationships and behaviors.

The article is devoted to how art therapy methods impact the stabilization of the psycho-emotional state of military wives, enhancing their resilience and strengthening family relationships. It has been proven that using these methods helps harmonize the emotional state of military wives in conditions of anticipation and uncertainty. Mandala therapy has been shown to reduce stress, increase psychological resilience, and promote emotional recovery, which is crucial for adapting to uncertainty and post-war life.
The article examines the effect of art therapy on the psycho-emotional state of military wives to enhance resilience and develop internal resources. The most adaptive and effective strategies in situations of high uncertainty and stress are rational thinking (37.78%) and physical activities (33.33%). A positive correlation was identified between resilience and the certain resource channels such as belief & values (R = 0,375; p = 0,011) and rational thinking (R = 0,399; p = 0,007). A "Tree of Life" mandala therapy method was developed and tested, demonstrating improvements in the psycho-emotional state following group art therapy sessions. The results revealed a link between the emotional state of military wives and their ability to focus on daily tasks, facilitating a reduction in emotional tension. The mandala therapy method has proven effective in working with military personnel's wives. Participants reported a reduction in anxiety, improved sleep, and a restored sense of control over their lives.
Thus, the research findings suggest that it is essential to strengthen not only the rational and physical channels of stress resilience for military personnel's wives but also to enhance social support and emotional regulation, which were found to be the least active in this sample. Such measures will contribute to increasing the level of psycho-emotional resilience and reducing the risk of emotional burnout.

Authors: Клочек Лілія , Щирук Ірина
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the problem of psychological assistance to military personnel who have experienced prolonged combat stress, have acquired traumatic experience and have post-traumatic stress disorder. This condition is interpreted as a mental disorder arising as a result of the military personnel’s experience of psychotraumatic events caused by combat operations. It is manifested throught pathological memories, obsessive return to what was experienced in the war, sleep disturbance, excessive emotional excitability, inadequate readiness to resist, hypersensitivity in the situation of expectation of new extreme conditions. The results of an empirical study are presented, according to which post-traumatic stress disorders were observed in military personnel who were in the combat zone. The negative dynamics of the development of the emotional and cognitive sphere are noted, which is reflected in behavior and a tendency to deviations and aggression. The problem of providing comprehensive professional assistance is actualized, with psychological assistance occuping a prominent role. According to the authors' vision, it should be focused on correcting the social and psychological competence of military personnel, solving their personal problems and problems of interaction with the surrounding world and people around them. Educational, holistic, social and  therapeutic directions of psychological assistance to persons with post-traumatic stress disorder are considered. Attention is focused on the psychological and axiological approach as a methodological basis for developing a system of work with military personnel with long-term consequences of post-traumatic stress disorder. Their value-semantic perception of reality opens up possibilities for self-acceptance, acceptance of other people, and establishing interactions with the surrounding world, with themselves and people around them. Prospects for studying the conditions for the deployment of personal and semantic activity of military personnel, their productivity in various types of activity are outlined

OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING STUDENTS’ PARTICIPATION IN A SELF-REGULATED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WITHIN THE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Authors: Bunsu Christnalter , Abd Halim Noor Dayana
Published: December 2024

Open and Distance Learning (ODL) provides an alternative path for higher education, particularly beneficial for individuals who are unable to attend university full-time on campus, offering the benefits of flexibility, accessibility, and self-directed learning. With ongoing advancements in technology, ODL is becoming more relevant and expands educational access to a wider range of learners across the world. At the same time, distance learning promotes Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) and lifelong learning through the use of technology, often facilitated by Learning Management Systems (LMS). However, one concerning issue is that students have been observed to employ only a limited and suboptimal range of SRL strategies in online learning environments. Past studies have highlighted several common issues, including the digital divide, challenges with self-regulation, and a lack of essential SRL skills. Therefore, this research applied the design of an SRL environment in LMS to encourage effective SRL strategy utilization among ODL students and assessed their participation. Master’s students in an Open and Distance Learning (ODL) program at a public university were selected using convenient sampling, with a total of 23 students enrolled in an ODL course. The log data from LMS were analysed to assess students’ participation. Overall, the logs indicate a desirable level of participation across the SRL phases, with a significant increase in the Performance phase, suggesting that students were highly active during class activities and discussions. The high frequency of access also indicates active use of the LMS.

Published: December 2024

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic prompted universities, including UiTM, to adopt Online Distance Learning (ODL) as a necessary measure to ensure the safety of students. However, the introduction of the first ODL initiative has been observed to have a demotivating effect on students, as they perform poorly on assessments. The E-peer mentoring programme was implemented to help UiTM students excel in their Mathematics courses as well as to provide emotional support through collaborative learning among peers. This programme was conducted to assess the programme’s effectiveness based on three contributing factors: student motivation, problem-solving skills, and knowledge skills as perceived by the mentee. E-peer mentoring is an online initiative that connects students who struggle with Mathematics with those who excel in the same subject. Participants are divided into small groups consisting of a mentor and five mentees. The program specifically involves 80 students from the Diploma in Mathematical Sciences (CS143) and Diploma in Computer Science (CS110) enrolled in Calculus 1 at the Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics (FSKM), Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Cawangan Kelantan during semester Mac – October 2021. The notable findings are tested using a variety of statistical analyses, including a normality test (skewness), reliability test (Cronbach’s Alpha), and descriptive and inferential statistics tailored to the students’ gender. The study demonstrates that the E-peer mentoring programme works equally well for students of different genders. Stereotypes about how students perceive peer mentoring are not applicable here. Furthermore, the study discovered a strong relationship between students’ motivation, problem-solving skills, and knowledge skills, indicating that the E-peer mentoring programme is effective (all p-values less than 0.05). Specifically, student motivation and knowledge skills are the most important factors influencing programme effectiveness.

Published: December 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly impacted educational systems worldwide, including Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). The shift from traditional classroom-based learning to online or hybrid models presented unique challenges, especially for fields that heavily rely on hands-on, practical experience to develop technical skills. Online learning became a big challenge for TVET students. This is because TVET students require more practical experience in addition to theoretical knowledge. As a result of movement and other physical constraints, technical skills could not be honed during the Covid-19 period. Thus, this study was conducted to identify the mastery level of technical skills of TVET students when the Covid-19 broke out. In addition, this study was also conducted to identify suitable teaching and learning methods that can be used during the pandemic period for mastering technical skills. A random sampling method was used and a total of 86 respondents were recruited from TVET students in year 4. This study is quantitative method, and the research instrument used is a questionnaire survey form. The data obtained were analysed using the Statistical Package Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 26.0. The findings of the study showed that the students' mastery of technical skills was at a moderate level; and the use of teaching and learning methods during the Covid-19 period was also at a moderate level. The researcher expects that this study will help in providing information to certain parties in order to increase the mastery level of technical skills as well as improving the teaching and learning styles, should unexpected situations occur again.

Published: December 2024

The use of mobile quiz application in the field of medical education is rising because it offers new approaches for increasing the level of learner’s participation and performance. This study aims to explore student’s feedback on the development and effectiveness of the Reproductive Physiology Quiz app, a custom-built mobile application for quizzes that enhances learning in the Reproductive Physiology module. The app is developed using Buildbox and contains features like the life system (nyawa), which is based on mastery learning and immediate feedback on incorrect answers. About ten Year 2 medical students had recently completed the Reproductive Physiology module involved in the pilot study of this custom-built mobile app. Their feedbacks were acquired through a questionnaire that contained both multiple-choice-close-ended and open-ended questions. The study revealed that 100% of the students reported that the app was appealing and enhanced their learning experience, while 90% stated that it was helpful in evaluating their knowledge. The qualitative data revealed some suggestions for improvement such as the need for different types of questions, random order of questions, and the need for more elaboration of the answers. The open-ended responses also pointed out the possible directions for improvement, such as the different types of questions, the different order of the questions, and the more detailed explanations of the answers. Furthermore, the learners also agreed that the app offers flexibility for self-assessment and recalls their knowledge on reproduction. These results indicate that mobile quiz applications such as Repro Quiz may increase student engagement, knowledge, and self-learning in medical education. Future studies should aim at extending the app to include other modules and incorporating the feedback of a larger cohort of students to enhance the features and usability of the app.
Aspołeczny zoon politikon? Kwestia upokorzenia w Tancerzu mecenasa Kraykowskiego Witolda Gombrowicza
Authors: Śniowska Dagmara Anna
Published: December 2024

CEL NAUKOWY: Głównym celem artykułu jest zinterpretowanie Tancerza mecenasa Kraykowskiego Witolda Gombrowicza z perspektywy filozofii politycznej. Zaakcentowana zostaje problematyka uprzedmiotawiania jednostek funkcjonujących we wspólnotach.
PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Problem sprowadza się do pytania: jak skłonność do poniżania i dążenie do bycia poniżanym wpływa na funkcjonowanie jednostki we wspólnocie politycznej? Zastosowana zostaje jakościowa analiza treści przy uwzględnieniu, iż dzieło literackie warto traktować jako alternatywną formę dokumentowania quasi-politologicznych obserwacji.
PROCES WYWODU: Opowiadanie jest interpretowane w odniesieniu do koncepcji „międzyludzkiego kościoła”. Fabuła, zdarzenie po zdarzeniu, jest komentowana i konfrontowana z szerszym kontekstem twórczości Gombrowicza. Szczególna uwaga zostaje zwrócona na dynamikę międzyludzkich relacji, wątek władzy oraz kwestię dramatyzmu życia człowieka w niesprzyjającym mu społeczeństwie.
WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Tancerz mecenasa Kraykowskiego jest przykładem prozy szczególnie cennym dla politologicznego namysłu nad rzeczywistością. Gombrowicz prezentuje specyficzną syntezę klasycznego postrzegania politycznej natury ludzkiej z podejściem typowo nowożytnym. Jego zoon politikon jest egoistyczne i z natury dążące do uprzedmiotowiania innych ludzi. Życie w zbiorowości to powód cierpień homo sapiens, jednak całkowitą izolację od stada uniemożliwia potrzeba bycia formowanym i kształtowanym przez innych.
WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: Młodzieńcze opowiadanie Gombrowicza paradoksalnie wskazuje na naturalność sztucznej wspólnoty politycznej. Budowanie hierarchii, tworzenie konwenansów, społecznie akceptowane mechanizmy wywyższania i poniżania poszczególnych jednostek pozwala na okiełznanie chaosu wynikającego z ekspansywnego charakteru Gombrowiczowskiego Cogito. Uznanie politycznej natury jednostek funkcjonujących w uniwersum Gombrowicza stanowi punkt wyjścia do dalszej rekonstrukcji „myśli politycznej” polskiego pisarza.
Piłsudski i Masaryk – kulty równoległe. Rola kultu przywódcy w budowie odrodzonej państwowości i jej zachowaniu
Authors: Nieć Grzegorz
Published: December 2024

CEL NAUKOWY: Celem artykuł jest porównanie najważniejszych aspektów oraz kontekstów kultu twórców odrodzonej Polski i Czechosłowacji.
PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Głównym problemem jest uchwycenie i ukazanie najważniejszych cech wspólnych kultów w kontekście uwarunkowań historycznych i politycznych. Jako podstawową metodę badawczą obrano analizę literatury przedmiotu, dokumentów, publicystyki, dzieł literackich i filmowych.
PROCES WYWODU: Omówione zostały uwarunkowania historyczno-polityczne powstania niepodległej Polski i Czechosłowacji w 1918 r. i ich dalsze dzieje. Następnie ukazano i porównano najważniejsze etapy życia oraz działalności mężów stanu, by przejść do przedstawienia głównych form i przejawów kultu oraz ich przemian.
WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Życiorysy i osobowości obydwu bohaterów narodowych są bardzo różne, jednak wykazują znaczne podobieństwa, jeśli spojrzymy na nie, uwzględniając odmienny kontekst historyczny i kulturowy. Są typowymi przedstawicielami elit swoich narodów i pełnili bardzo podobne funkcje – wodzów i ikon niepodległości. Ich kult był i wciąż pozostaje w istocie swej państwotwórczy, a jego celem była budowa niepodległego państwa, jego umocnienie i integracja wokół tej idei społeczeństwa, którego tożsamość należało zbudować i utrwalić w bardzo krótkim czasie, co się zresztą udało i, co więcej, wszystko to okazało się konstruktem trwałym, akceptowanym i wciąż inspirującym dla kolejnych pokoleń.
WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: Porównując Polskę i Czechosłowację, należy unikać stereotypizacji i generalizacji, gdyż niezwykle ważne są złożone konteksty kulturowe i historyczne, które należy każdorazowo uwzględnić. Procesy państwo- i narodotwórcze w Europie Środkowej po 1918 r. należy postrzegać jako wielki i owocny wysiłek, który przyniósł trwałe efekty i pomógł oprzeć się totalitaryzmom, jakie narodziły się w dawnych imperiach – Rosji i Niemczech.
Autorytet nauczycielski papieża i jego granice w przestrzeni publicznej
Authors: Żmudziński Marek
Published: December 2024

CEL NAUKOWY: Przedstawienie Kościoła jako podmiotu debaty w przestrzeni publicznej, który w urzędzie papieskim zakotwiczył autorytet nauczycielski, mający potencjalny wpływ na szerokie gremium odbiorców poza widzialnymi jego granicami.
PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: W artykule postawiono problem autorytetu papieskiego nauczania w przestrzeni publicznej i jego ograniczeń, wynikających z przyjętych w niej reguł. Zastosowana metoda to krytyczna analiza źródeł z wykorzystaniem istniejących opracowań.
PROCES WYWODU: Publiczny status Kościoła, wykluczający możliwość politycznej aktywności, daje wiele możliwości realizacji misji religijnej. Jedną z nich jest promowanie poza granicami wspólnoty wyznaniowej aksjologii chrześcijańskiej. Autorytet papieża – z przywilejem nieomylności – jest wartością w przestrzeni eklezjalnej, jednak poza nią musi przyjąć inne reguły wiarygodności, wypracowane w kulturze świeckiej. Stanowią one granicę, której przekroczenie niesie ryzyko utraty własnej tożsamości i wierności wielowiekowej tradycji. Świeckość, z odmienną koncepcją racjonalności, oraz pluralizm, implikujący wzajemną ocenę uczestników debaty i poszukiwanie consensusu, są dziś dla Kościoła trudne do akceptacji.
WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Trzy dokumenty papieskie ostatniego pięćdziesięciolecia podejmujące problemy ważne z punktu widzenia debaty publicznej: etyki małżeńskiej i regulacji poczęć, ochrony życia od poczęcia do naturalnej śmierci oraz roli mężczyzn i kobiet w strukturze Kościoła wykorzystały tradycyjne argumenty i zaproponowały rozwiązania bez uwzględnienia postulatów artykułowanych w przestrzeni publicznej.
WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: Realizowany model obecności Kościoła w sferze publicznej domaga się ciągłej ewaluacji w kontekście skutecznego promowania aksjologii chrześcijańskiej.

Published: December 2024

CEL NAUKOWY: Omówienie roli poradni psychologiczno-pedagogicznych w systemowym wsparciu uczniów, które jest wskaźnikiem edukacji włączającej.
PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Problem badawczy sprowadza się do pytania: Jaką rolę odgrywają współcześnie poradnie psychologiczno-pedagogiczne w systemie wsparcia dzieci i młodzieży w perspektywie edukacji włączającej? Metodą było studium przypadku instytucji, technikami: analiza danych zastanych (raportów, przepisów prawa), literatury przedmiotu, materiałów własnych poradni.
PROCES WYWODU: Określono założenia inkluzji społecznej i edukacji włączającej, co stanowi tło do analiz na temat roli poradni psychologiczno-pedagogicznych w systemowym wsparciu uczniów.
WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: System wsparcia współpracujących ze sobą specjalistów jest ważną cechą edukacji włączającej. Poradnie wydają się instytucjami, które posiadają doświadczenia i własne wypracowane modele w zakresie koordynacji ww. wsparcia.
WNIOSKI, REKOMENDACJE I APLIKACYJNE ZNACZENIE WPŁYWU BADAŃ: By zbudować elastyczny system wsparcia, współpracujących ze sobą specjalistów, MEN podjęło zadanie organizacji wsparcia międzysektorowego, rozumianego jako integracja działań pomocowych na rzecz dziecka i rodziny, realizowanych w trzech sektorach publicznych: zdrowia, pomocy społecznej i edukacji. Ważne staje się obecnie opracowanie podstaw legislacyjnych regulujących koordynację wsparcia międzysektorowego.

Published: December 2024

CEL NAUKOWY: Celem pracy jest podkreślenie zasadności użycia literackich nazw własnych do stymulacji i/lub terapii językowej na poziomie wszystkich podsystemów języka, ale także do rozwijania kompetencji społecznych i inteligencji emocjonalnej.
PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Głównym problemem badawczym jest zagadnienie onimów literackich i ich zastosowania w terapii i edukacji językowej, społecznej, emocjonalnej dzieci przedszkolnych z trudnościami komunikacyjnymi. Analiza wybranych tekstów pod kątem funkcji i znaczenia występujących w nich onimów wraz z egzemplifikacją ich zastosowania w procesie edukacyjno-terapeutycznym jest główną strategią metodologiczną przyjętą w tym artykule.
PROCES WYWODU: W pracy podkreślono potrzebę usprawniania umiejętności językowo-komunikacyjnych poprzez edukowanie w zakresie kluczowych kompetencji, opisano i scharakteryzowano rodzaje tych kompetencji i wskazano możliwości wykorzystania literackich nazw własnych w terapii dzieci z trudnościami komunikacyjnymi.
WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Warstwa onomastyczna wybranych do analizy utworów, oprócz oczywistych i dostrzeganych od dawna funkcji – nominatywnej, ekspresywnej, semantycznej, kulturowej, może pełnić również funkcję edukacyjno-terapeutyczną. Odpowiednio i świadomie dobrane do terapii nazwy własne wspomagają budowanie zasobu leksykalnego, rozumienie reguł gramatycznych i sensów znaczeniowych, nabywanie biegłości w tworzeniu narracji, stymulowanie procesów poznawczych i operacji myślowych.
WNIOSKI, REKOMENDACJE I APLIKACYJNE ZNACZENIE WPŁYWU BADAŃ: W środowisku logopedycznym, pedagogicznym, psychologicznym zauważalna jest duża potrzeba poszukiwań atrakcyjnych i eklektycznych działań na polu terapii. Artykuł wskazuje nowe możliwości wzbogacenia tych oddziaływań przez wykorzystanie onimów literackich do edukacji językowej, emocjonalnej oraz wspierania motywacji i utrzymywania uwagi uczniów, przez co rozszerza zakres badań psycholingwistycznych, logopedycznych i pedagogicznych.
NOVEL MULTI-MODAL OBSTRUCTION MODULE FOR DIABETES MELLITUS CLASSIFICATION USING EXPLAINABLE MACHINE LEARNING
Authors: SHAIK Reehana , SIDDIQUE Ibrahim
Published: December 2024

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a persistent metabolic disorder which is characterized by increased blood glucose level in the blood stream. Initially, DM occurs while the insulin secretion in the pancreas has a disability to secrete or to use hormone for the metabolic process. Moreover, there are different types of DM depending on the physiological process, and the types include Type1 DM, Type2 DM and Gestational DM. Electrocardiography (ECG) waves are used to detect the abnormal heartbeats and cannot directly detect DM, but the wave abnormality can indicate the possibility and presence of DM. Whereas the Photoplethysmography (PPG) signals are a non-invasive method used to detect changes in  blood volume that can monitor BG changes. Furthermore, the detection and classification of DM using PPG and ECG can involve analyzing the functional performance of these modalities. By extracting the features like R wave (W1) and QRS complex (W2) in the ECG signals and Pulse Width (S1) and Pulse Amplitude Variation (S2) can detect DM and can be classified into DM and Non-DM. The authors propose a Novel architecture in the basis of Encoder Decoder structure named as Obstructive Encoder Decoder module. This module extracts the specific features and the proposed novel Obstructive Erasing Module remove the remaining artifacts and then the extracted features are fed into the Multi-Uni-Net for the fusion of the two modalities and the fused image is classified using EXplainable Machine Learning (EX-ML). From this classification the performance metrics like Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-Score and AUC can be determined.

This research investigates the enhancement of Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) for solving the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) through hybridization with Neighborhood Improvement (NI) and parameter fine-tuning. Two main experiments were conducted: Experiment A identified the optimal integration points for NI within AIS, revealing that position 2 (AIS+NIpos2) improved solution quality by an average of 27.78% compared to other positions. Experiment B benchmarked AIS performance with various enhancement techniques. Using symmetric and asymmetric TSP datasets, the results showed that integrating NI at strategic points and fine-tuning parameters boosted AIS performance by up to 46.27% in some cases. The hybrid and fine-tuned version of AIS (AIS-th) consistently provided the best solution quality, with up to a 50.36% improvement, though it required more computational time. These findings emphasize the importance of strategic combinations and fine-tuning for creating effective optimization algorithms.
FUZZY REGION MERGING WITH HIERARCHICAL CLUSTERING TO FIND OPTIMAL INITIALIZATION OF FUZZY REGION IN IMAGE SEGMENTATION
Authors: GUNAWAN Wawan
Published: December 2024

One of the most important goals in image segmentation is the process of separating the object parts from the image background. Image segmentation is also a fundamental stage in the development of other image applications such as object recognition, target tracking, computer vision, and biomedical image processing. Interactive image segmentation methods with additional user interaction are still popular in research. Interactive image segmentation aims to provide additional information through simple interactions, especially in images with complex objects. Interactive image segmentation with region merging processes has drawbacks, one of which is suboptimal region splitting due to soft color shades, blurred contours, and uneven lighting, referred to in this study as ambiguous regions. However, in the fuzzy region initialization stage after obtaining values from the marker process, there is a possibility of missing or suboptimal determination of fuzzy regions. This is because it only takes the highest gray level value for the background marker and the lowest gray level value for the object marker. In this study, fuzzy region merging using hierarchical clustering is proposed to find optimal initialization for fuzzy regions in image segmentation. Based on the experimental results, the proposed method can achieve optimal segmentation with an average misclassification error value of 2.62% for Natural Images and 9.33% for Dental Images.
Combining Photovoice and Videovoice for Participatory Research: Visual Storytelling With LGBTQ+ Refugees and Migrants
Authors: Valiquette Tyler , Su Yvonne
Published: December 2024

This article critically reflects on the implementation of combining photovoice and videovoice as research methods to explore the perspectives of marginalized groups in precarious situations. Specifically, we apply it to understanding the experiences of LGBTQ+ refugees and migrants in their host country of Brazil. Photovoice and videovoice allow us to move beyond words, and in utilizing a medium free from the burdens of language or literacy, LGBTQ+ refugees and migrants can present their world to the global community on their own terms, allowing for greater agency and highlighting various social identities. In the age of Instagram, LGBTQ+ refugees and migrants are already familiar with the universal reach of photos and videos, so instead of asking participants to take specific photos, we give them the tools and space to tell their stories of migration through social media trends they are already familiar with and interested in creating. We will also present the lessons learned and challenges we faced while experimenting with these methodologies.

In the Global South children with disabilities have often been left out of research projects. A method which has the potential to increase inclusion of children with disabilities in research is participatory photography and video.

In this participatory research project 32 children with disabilities and their peers aged 8 to 14 living in Central Uganda, were asked to describe their daily life experiences through drawings, photos, and films. The project was nested within a larger intervention study which aims to improve inclusion, which used an African childhood disability studies framework with Afrocentric methods, involving the children’s family and community networks. In five participatory workshops, each followed by home and school follow up visits, children co-created 3 short films and 1 documentary film together with their peers, family members, teachers, and communities.

The short films and documentary were shared with stakeholders and have been utilized by civil society organizations and organizations of persons with disabilities in advocacy and training initiatives on disability inclusion in Uganda and abroad. Participants felt positive about the outcomes, going forward they suggested making more short films featuring the experiences of children with different types of impairments to build the confidence of children with disabilities, reduce stigma and advocate for family and community support.

Participatory film is a feasible and meaningful way of including children with disabilities in research in the Global South when we acknowledge the importance of interdependence, step away from predefined ideas, reflect on voice and hierarchy, make ethical considerations, and allow space and time for a nonlinear and complex process.
What Makes an Engaging Environment? Lessons Learnt From Co-Created Research With Diverse Community groups.

Complex socio-ecological challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss have resulted in an increased focus on the co-creation of knowledge to increase the diversity of those represented by and within research, make research more accessible and ensure research has impact outside of academic contexts. However, guidance and dialogue around the many processes that underpin co-created research remain limited. This perspective piece is informed by practical experience in the co-creation of research with historically underrepresented communities and represents a culmination of our experience and perspectives as academics, artists, community development officers and project workers. First, we share methodological insights, including tools used to identify community concerns and promote engagement in the co-creation process. We then present key guiding principles that we believe are important underpinnings of co-creation including: 1) valuing the entire co-creation process; 2) identifying conditions needed for inclusive co-creation; and 3) participatory evaluation. We also share recommended practices that provide illustrative examples of how guiding principles were addressed in practice across each of our case studies. Recommended practices include - but are not limited to - valuing people not ‘check boxes’, understanding safe spaces, shared language, and integrating evaluation throughout the research process. Our Findings inform future empirical work on co-created initiatives that have meaningful impact for both society and the environment.

This study discusses the role of dormitory coaches in the formation of students' religious character. This study aims to analyze the role of coaches in the formation of students' religious character, the character of students in Islamic Boarding Schools and the obstacles faced by coaches in the formation of students' religious characters. This research is a qualitative descriptive research, the type of data uses the type of subject data and the data source is the dormitory coach, then the processing techniques and stages of data collection used are observation, in-depth interviews and documentation. The data analysis includes data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing and verification. And the data validity testing techniques used are Credibility, Transferability, Dependability and Confirmability tests. The results of the study show that: 1) Coaches at the DDI Galla Raya Islamic Boarding School play an important role in shaping the character of students through religious, moral, and social guidance. They create a supportive learning environment, teach religious values, and help students deal with emotional problems. The coach also establishes communication with students and parents to ensure that education is in accordance with the values at home. 2) The DDI Galla Raya Islamic Boarding School has succeeded in fostering the character of students through comprehensive religious education. Santri showed positive developments in faith, understanding of Islamic values, as well as attitudes of ihsan, piety, and ethics. They are committed to worship, applying Islamic teachings, and maintaining friendship. Despite the challenges, progress in religious and moral values remains significant.3) Obstacles in instilling religious character in students at the DDI Galla Raya Islamic Boarding School include differences in backgrounds that cause variations in material understanding, mental health problems such as stress, and the negative influence of the dormitory environment exposed to modern technology. In addition, the diversity of students' learning styles makes the same teaching methods not always effective, and the evaluation of the development of religious character often focuses only on theoretical aspects. All these obstacles need to be considered so that students can develop properly in faith and religious practice.
