Does Star Power Boost Soccer Match Attendance? Empirical Evidence from the Chinese Soccer League
Authors: Li Bo , Liu Yuanyang , Wang Jerred Junqi , Scott Olan K.M. , Stokowski Sarah
Published: June 2024

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of star power on game attendance. The essential aspect of demand for sport events is fan interest, which can be shown through match attendance, watching contests, buying team-related products, and following a team on media. To conduct this study, all attendance data from the 2015, 2016, and 2017 seasons of the Chinese Super League were used to understand which factors impacted spectator attendance. Results of this study found that high profile teams, traditional rivalries or derbies, and famous foreign players can positively impact attendance at both home and away games, while members of the Chinese National Team had a negative impact on attendance. These results will give team owners a better understanding of Chinese soccer fans’ interests, ultimately leading to maximizing profit generation in ticket and merchandise sales. Implications for both sport managers and scholars are discussed.
The Economics of the NFL Draft: Improved Estimates of Draft-Order Valuations
Authors: Duquette Christopher M. , Cebula Richard J.
Published: June 2024

Abstract: The National Football League (NFL) allocates new players to the League’s 32 teams using the annual NFL Draft. Teams are permitted to trade various draft picks as the Draft is underway. In the early 1990s, “The Chart” was developed as a price-guide for teams in negotiating draft-pick trades. Massey and Thaler (2013) found that NFL teams make biased judgments in overvaluing the earliest picks relative to later picks. We maintain that Massey and Thaler used flawed input data in their analysis. With newly available player-standardized input data from the Pro Football Reference database, we provide improved estimates of draft-order performance valuations and then produce an improved version of “The Chart.” Using draft picks’ salary data, we identify where teams can expect to reap the most value per unit cost. Our results suggest that the NFL Draft’s middle rounds provide the most value per unit cost, with peak values occurring during the third round.
Does the Offline Environment Matter in Online Horse Race Betting Engagement?
Authors: Saastamoinen Jani , Suhonen Niko , Kainulainen Tuomo , Forrest David
Published: June 2024

Abstract: While the viability of many racing industries depends crucially on the sport attracting online bettors, relatively little is known about the role the local offline environment and fan interest plays in consumers’ online gambling. Using Finland as a data source, this paper investigates how off-track betting opportunities and the level of interest in horses in a local environment are associated with online horse race betting engagement. Whilst previous research has usually relied on self-reported surveys, we use objective data extracted from consumers’ online horse race betting accounts and data sources covering the horse race betting environment, equine statistics, and sociodemographic statistics of Finnish municipalities. Our findings suggest that the off-track betting environment and the level of interest in horses in a municipality appear to be predictors of online horse race betting engagement as measured by betting volume and the number of bettors.
What Explains Labor’s Declining Share of Revenue in Major League Baseball?
Authors: Bradbury John Charles
Published: June 2024

Abstract: This study explores reasons for the declining share of revenue going to Major League Baseball players. Though the players’ union and team owners have proposed competing explanations, the phenomenon has not received any rigorous academic study. Economic theories for the similar decline of labor share in the macroeconomy provide possible explanations. The ability to estimate baseball players’ marginal revenue products through their performance offers a unique opportunity to examine the role of worker productivity in determining labor’s share of income in general. The analysis indicates that the returns to player performance have declined and that collective bargaining agreement terms that promote revenue sharing among teams appear to play a significant role. In addition, increased returns from new non-player revenue sources have lowered the share of league revenue going to players. Competition from substitute labor inputs and changes in returns to physical capital do not appear to be important factors.
From Sensation to Emotion: A Neuromarketing Study of Sport Sponsorship Effects
Authors: Lee Sanghak , Kim Kitae , Hyun Yong J. , Park Byungho
Published: June 2024

Abstract: This study investigated the sport sponsorship effects by applying the traditional response hierarchy models. Measured by a neuromarketing technique (i.e., electroencephalogram [EEG]), the study analyzed how sport fans' sensation and emotion influence sponsorship effects. The Korea Republic National Football Team's A match videos were shown as experiment stimuli to manipulate participants' arousal and emotion in the experiment. Based on alpha blocking and hemispheric laterality theories, the current study found that alpha blocking occurred when participants were exposed to sensational senses (e.g., scoring goals) and that left frontal alpha dominance (LFAD) was reported when participants watched their supporting team's winning games and had positive emotions. However, alpha blocking by brand recall and LFAD by brand attitude were insignificant. These findings support the use of neuromarketing and traditional response hierarchy models in understanding the effects of sport sponsorship. Managerial implications and study limitations will be discussed.
Look What We Have Here: Exploring Brand-Related Sport Consumer Twitter Conversation Topics
Authors: Wanless Liz , Kennedy Heather , Davies Melissa , Naraine Michael L. , Pegoraro Ann
Published: June 2024

Abstract: As sport organizations leverage social media as a critical component of marketing strategy, tools for exploring the large volume of sport consumer social media conversations are vital. This scholarship demonstrates the value of unsupervised latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) as a tool for exploring consumers' digital conversations. Specifically, unsupervised LDA was applied to derive latent topics among Women's National Basketball Association-related Twitter conversation over the course of the 2020 season. Quantitative (cv and umass scores) and qualitative (two expert reviews) approaches were utilized to delineate topic configurations. Marginal topic distance established topic importance. Results from 118,518 tweets revealed 18 conversation topics spanning two overarching themes: social justice issues and on-court performance. The range and depth of the results highlight the importance of the unsupervised topic modeling method (without semi-supervised predetermined topic leads) for considering holistic rather than subsampled or snapshot datasets. This empirical investigation extends the conversation surrounding natural language processing to sport management research and practice, delivers a foundation for unsupervised LDA application to sport consumer conversation, and explores social media conversations during a critical moment for the WNBA.
Fan Networks in Women's Sport: An Egocentric Analysis of Social Fans and IsoFans
Authors: Katz Matthew , Melton E. Nicole , Isard Risa F. , Agha Nola
Published: June 2024

Abstract: Guided by network theory, the purpose of this paper is to explore the consumption networks of Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) fans. Through an egocentric network analysis, the authors utilize hierarchical linear modeling to examine the strength of consumption ties among WNBA fans during the 2019 season. Initial results revealed an unexpected finding: the presence of participants who reported having no fan-to-fan ties, whom we term IsoFans. A second sample of men's basketball fans was then collected to serve as a comparative confirmation of the unexpected result, whereby IsoFans occurred in the men's sport sample at a much lower rate. In the third step of the study, the authors examine the differences between WNBA fans consuming in isolation, IsoFans, and WNBA fans consuming with alters, whom we call Social Fans. Results from the hierarchical linear modeling of Social Fans revealed that attributes of both ego (i.e., focal fan) and alter (i.e., individual with whom ego shares a tie) affect the strength of fan-to-fan ties within the women's sport context.
A Mini Review on The Roles of Beta-Amyloid and Tau Proteins in Huntington’s Disease
Authors: Kahrizsangi Saba Salehi , Shaibie Nur Adania , Ling Anna Pick Kiong , Chye Soi Moi , Ng Khuen Yen , Koh Rhun Yian
Published: June 2024

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that can progress and cause behavioural difficulties, cognitive decline, and movement disorders. The aetiology of this disease is mostly caused by an abnormal CAG repeat sequence in the huntingtin gene, which is present in all humans. HD can be diagnosed through several methods, such as physical examination, reviewing family history, brain imaging, genetic testing, as well as neurological and psychiatric examinations. To date, treatment for HD only manages the symptoms, for example, tetrabenazine is used for treating involuntary movements, and risperidone is an antipsychotic drug. Hence, a better understanding of HD is needed for a more specific treatment option. Beta-amyloid (Aβ) and tau proteins are well known to be the key contributors towards the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, which is also a neurodegenerative disease. This review focuses on the roles of these two proteins in HD.

Le gouvernement camerounais, en phase avec la communauté internationale, s’emploie à promouvoir une société inclusive, à travers l’encadrement et la promotion des aveugles et malvoyants. Cependant, l’on constate pour le déplorer que ces personnes restent marginalisées, incomprises des autres, rendant difficile toute forme d’interaction avec elles. D’où l’intérêt de ce travail qui se donne pour objectif de mener une réflexion sur la promotion de l’appropriation par les usagers de la route de la ville Yaoundé, du langage de la canne blanche des aveugles et malvoyants, pour une meilleure interaction quotidienne dans le cadre de leur mobilité. La réalisation de ce travail s’est opérée grâce à l’observation, les entretiens, l’enquête par questionnaire et la recherche documentaire, dont les résultats montrent que le mode de communication des handicapés visuels n’est pas compris des autres usagers de la route qui, pour des raisons multiples, se déclarent ouverts à son apprentissage. Des propositions en vue d’une meilleure communication entre les personnes voyantes et les malvoyants ont été émises.

Published: June 2024

L’objectif de cette étude est de déterminer l’effet des chocs culturels chez des apprenants mexicains et français en mobilité dans le pays d’accueil. Pour y parvenir, d’une part, nous avons conçu un questionnaire reprenant des situations (communicatives) spécifiques auxquelles les six sujets universitaires en échange ont été exposés. Cet instrument pose des questions sur les situations de la vie quotidienne telles que prendre le bus, s’adapter à la vie universitaire, entrer en contact avec les natifs, découvrir les habitudes courantes, les traditions et la gastronomie. D’autre part, nous avons conçu un autre outil basé sur la proposition des étapes suivies dans un échange culturel par Oberg (1960). Celui-ci est appliqué pour confirmer si les sujets de cette étude ont subi ces étapes, ou bien identifier s’il y en a d’autres pendant la durée d’un séjour à l’étranger. Enfin, les résultats de cette étude nous permettent de distinguer qu’il existe un choc culturel dans tous les cas étudiés, ce qui démontre un manque de sensibilisation chez eux et identifie le besoin d’un travail préalable dans la salle de classe pour préparer culturellement les apprenants qui feront un échange.

This article presents the results of observations and varietal study of a new hybrid form of grapevine of private breeding under the work-ing title Hudozhnik in the conditions of the Experimental Field of ARRIV&W – Branch of the FSBSI FRARC. In the course of the study, an ampelographic description of the hybrid form was made according to the leading fea-tures, the flower type was determined as transi-tional. Hybrid Hudozhnik stands out for its size characteristics of bunches (average weight for the years of observation was 612 g) and berries (average weight of 15.8 g), high yield (112.7 c/ha), very high marketability due to the size characteristics in combination with good dense pulp and balanced flavor without aromas. Hy-brid Hudozhnik is distinguished by a very good pollination of bunches, as well as a very attrac-tive pink-red color of berries, which practically does not change even with a long stay of the crop on the bushes. The vineyards are non – irrigated, grafted, uncovered, shaped like a fan on the middle trunk, planting scheme 3×1.5 m, pruning is medium. During the varietal study were used generally accepted in viticulture methods and standard technology of cultiva-tion of vineyards. Hybrid Hudozhnik has an early ripening period (116 days from bud breaks to full maturity of berries), middle re-sistance to downy mildew, powdery mildew and botrytis, good winter hardiness and fruit-fulness in uncovered culture. Hybrid Hudozh-nik can be recommended for use in further breeding of colored table grapevine varieties as a source of size characteristics of bunches and berries, as well as a stable table grape for culti-vation in industry and home gardening.

The paper presents the results of studies of fungicidal properties of bactericidal drug on vine plantations. To test the drug, we used a small-plot experiment with plants of Cabernet Sauvignon variety, cultivated in cover crop with a long-armed bush form. The bactericidal drug contained polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride 9% and alkyldimethylben-zylammonium chloride 1% as active ingredi-ents, as well as functional components and wa-ter. The experiment included variants of differ-ent concentrations of the bactericidal drug (1, 3, 5%), a standard variant using approved fun-gicides (Kurzat, Poliram DF) and a control var-iant − without treatments. The drug at a con-centration of 5% with weak development of downy mildew restrained the development of the disease, with average and epiphytotic de-velopment it was little effective. The effective-ness of the bactericidal drug in protecting against downy mildew at concentrations of 1 and 3% has not been proven. There were no signs of phytotoxicity on vine plants after using the bactericidal drug at the studied doses.

The research was carried out in the laboratory of ampelography and technological assessment of grapevine varieties, in microwinemaking conditions. The weight of one batch of grapes was 5−15 kg. Samples of dry rose and red, as well as rose and red liqueur wines were prepared. The main physical and chemical parameters of must and wine have been determined. They all met the criteria of The National Standards. An organoleptic assessment of wine materials showed that all samples (dry red and rose, and liqueur) had a color characteristic of a certain type of wine, had a bright, complex aroma, with tones of berries, and light shades of flowers and herbs, had a balanced taste, and harmonious composition. Based on the results of the research, conclusions were drawn that the technical grapevine variety Megrabuir is promising for the preparation of various types of wines (dry rose, red, liqueur).
L’espèce incertaine et les taxons flous
Authors: Baumel Alex , Aurelle Didier
Published: June 2024

La question de la « bonne » définition de l’espèce, qui unit les biologistes, les naturalistes et les personnes impliquées dans l’usage ou la conservation de la biodiversité, est constamment réactualisée par les progrès des connaissances sur l’évolution et la spéciation. Cette question est loin d’être résolue parce que la spéciation est à l’œuvre dans la biodiversité actuelle et que les taxons de rang spécifique ne sont donc pas des espèces certaines mais plutôt des hypothèses d’espèces qui restent souvent à tester. Darwin soulignait l’importance des « espèces douteuses » pour son argumentation sur la variation. Nous illustrons cette propriété du vivant à résister à la classification par l’exemple des taxons flous qui peuvent être résumés en deux grands types, le syngaméon et les espèces naissantes. La variété des cas d’études rapportant des flux de gènes entre espèces, parfois entre genres, le rôle écologique de ceux-ci, souligne que l’espèce incertaine constitue un aspect majeur des problématiques de la biodiversité.

Pragmatics as a branch of science has another part called presuppositions. Presupposition is a part of pragmatics that talks about an event before utterances are made in communication. Good communication occurs when both parties understand each other's assumptions that they are discussing. Communication can not only occur verbally, but also in writing, one of which is writing in the form of a novel. This is the background for the researcher to choose the title Analysis of Presuppositions in the Yang Telah Lama Pergi Novel by Tere Liye. The problem in this research is how the presuppositions in the novel Yang Telah Lama Pergi by Tere Liye are. This research aims to describe the presuppositions in the novel Yang Telah Lama Pergi by Tere Liye. The approach used in this research is a qualitative approach with content analysis methods. The data collection techniques used in this research are reading techniques and note-taking techniques. The results of this research show that there are 106 narratives and dialogues that contain presuppositions. The 106 narratives and dialogues were then grouped based on the types of presuppositions according to Yule. It was found that 28 presuppositions were classified as existential presuppositions, 24 lexical presuppositions, 26 structural presuppositions, 21 factive presuppositions, 4 non-factive presuppositions, and 3 counterfactual presuppositions. The presupposition that is most often found is the existential presupposition because it uses novels as study objects which contain many narratives about the existence and state of things

Regulatory and legal basement of decentralization in local self-government according to the legislation of Ukraine and Poland
Authors: Shatilo V.
Published: June 2024

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to compare the regulatory and legal basement of decentralization in Ukraine and Poland. Also the purpose of the article includes the definition of common and distinctive features of legal provisions of decentralization in Ukraine and Poland. Methodology. The methodology consists of legal comparison of scientific-theoretical and regulatory materials. The author used such methods of scientific knowledge: dialectical, systematic, historical methods and methods of analysis, synthesis and analogy. Result: the article devotes the development of regulatory and legal basement of decentralization in Poland and Ukraine. It is characterized by the following common features: 1) the presence of a long transition period from self-government of a state with experience in an undemocratic regime; 2) the foundation in the form of the European Charter of Local Self-Government of 1985; 3) carrying out the reform of the decentralization of public power in the context of EU values, but outside the fulfillment of the requirements for joining the specified state-political association. Among the distinguishing features, first of all, it is necessary to mention different approaches to the meaningful filling of normative and legal acts that implemented the reform of local self-government, including conceptual ones: 1) if in Ukraine local self-government is the right of a territorial community, then in Poland it is its duty ; 2) non-segregation of agricultural territorial communities, similar to Polish legislation. In addition, unlike Poland, whose Constitution reflects legislative changes due to the reform of local self-government with a view to decentralization, these changes have not been made to the Constitution of Ukraine due to the martial law in Ukraine. The development of decentralization in local self-government both in Ukraine and Poland consists of two periods: posttotalitarian (postsoviet) and preparation to admittance for EU membership. Originality. It was established that the reform of the decentralization of public power in both Ukraine and Poland was carried out in the context of EU values, but outside of the requirements for joining the specified state-political association. The fact is that the reform of decentralization in both Ukraine and Poland reflectes the idea that local self-government is the fundamental basis of the modern highly developed democratic states. Practical significance. The results of the research can be used in law-making and scholar activities.
International standards and doctrinal understanding of legal authority as the basis for the formation of the democratic Ukrainian state
Authors: Kelbya Stella
Published: June 2024

Purpose. The article analyzes the legal nature and content of the rule of law as a principle, as well as the legal phenomenon and conceptual approach to the development of the modern Ukrainian State. From a practical standpoint, the rule of law determines the place of courts in the system of public power, which should demonstrate not only the real separation of powers, but also the ability of the judiciary to limit the discretionary powers of the legislative and executive branches and thus guarantee protection against arbitrariness. This is possible only if the judiciary (and justice procedures) are independent of other branches of government. This approach to the relationship between the separation of powers (traditionally an element of the rule of law concept) brings the concepts of the rule of law and the substantive rule of law closer together. Methodology. In order to achieve the set goal, a comprehensive analysis of the available information regarding the analyzed problem was carried out and conclusions and proposals were formed on their basis. The following methods of scientific knowledge were used during the research: dialectical, systemic-structural, terminological, systemic-functional, historical, normative-dogmatic, generalization method. Originality. As a result of the research, it was found that the concept of the rule of law creates a platform, a basis for uniting all branches of law, especially given that different branches of our law are developed separately. The constitutional enshrinement of the rule of law and the rule of law principle determine the scope of activities of all branches of government and the methods of their operation. The state should not go beyond the boundaries of the legal field, crossing which the rule of law turns into its antithesis. The state cannot use methods in its activities that contradict the principles of the rule of law and the rule of law. Scientific novelty. The author establishes that the principle of the rule of law is, in fact, the only effective means of ensuring the inviolability of democracy, as well as one of its main features, and its enforcement and control is a guarantee of human rights to the extent that decent living conditions are created for each person. Practical significance. The analysis proves that the mere formation of a perfect system of legislation that enshrines fundamental human rights and freedoms and defines an effective legislative procedure is not enough to build a democratic society in our country. We need not only to enshrine the principle of the rule of law in the Constitution, but also to implement it in our daily activities.
Photovoltaic Microinverter Based on Buck-Boost Converter and Discharge Circuit
Authors: Ghribi Mohammed El Bachir , Ternifi Zine Eddine Touhami , Bachir Ghalem , Aillerie Michel
Published: June 2024

This paper presents a novel topology for photovoltaic microinverters that uses a buck-boost converter coupled with a discharge circuit. The system enables efficient conversion of electrical energy from the solar panel without requiring voltage filters or step-up transformers. For its control, an exponential action control strategy is used, as it allows effective tracking of the reference voltage. The stability of the overall control and inverter system is demonstrated and detailed using the Lyapunov method. The sizing of the components used is also detailed. The performance of this topology is evaluated under various load conditions, revealing low harmonic distortion (THD) in both current and voltage, with the best THD of 1% being obtained at a power factor of 0.8. This makes it a promising solution for photovoltaic energy conversion.

The activity of anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with Richter's transformation (RT) to aggressive large B cell lymphoma (LBCL) is largely unknown. In a multicenter retrospective study, we report the safety and efficacy of CAR T cell therapy in patients with RT (n=30) compared to patients with aggressive B cell lymphoma (n=283) and patients with transformed indolent Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (iNHL) (n=141) between April 2016 and January 2023. Two-thirds of patients received prior therapy for CLL before RT and 89% of them received B-cell receptor and B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. Toxicities of CAR T cell therapy in RT were similar to other lymphomas, with no fatalities related to cytokine release syndrome or immune effector-cell associated neurotoxicity synderome. The 100-day overall response rate and complete response rates in patients with RT were 57% and 47%, respectively. With a median follow up of 19 months, the median overall survival (OS) was 9.9 months in patients with RT compared to 18 months in de-novo LBCL and not reached in patients with transformed iNHL. The OS at 12 months was 45% in patients with RT compared with 62% and 75% in patients with de novo LBCL and transformed iNHL, respectively. In a multivariate analysis, worse OS was associated with RT histology, elevated LDH, and more prior lines of therapy. CAR T cell therapy can salvage a proportion of patients with CLL and RT exposed to prior targeted agents; however, efficacy in RT is inferior compared to de novo LBCL and transformed iNHL
The inverse of a quantum bilinear form of the oriented braid arrangement
Authors:   Faculty of Mathematics, University of Rijeka, 51 000 Rijeka, Croatia, Sošić Milena

We follow here the results of Varchenko, who assigned to each weighted arrangement \(\mathcal{A}\) of hyperplanes in the \(n\)-dimensional real space a bilinear form, which he called the quantum bilinear form of the arrangement \(\mathcal{A}\). We briefly explain the quantum bilinear form of the oriented braid arrangement in the \(n\)-dimensional real space. The main concern of this paper is to compute the inverse of the matrix of the quantum bilinear form of the oriented braid arrangement in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), \({n\ge 2}\).
To solve this problem, in [3] the authors used some special matrices and their factorizations in terms of simpler matrices. So, to simplify some matrix calculations, we first introduce a twisted group algebra \({\mathcal{A}(S_{n})}\) of the symmetric group \(S_{n}\) with coefficients in the polynomial ring in \(n^2\) commutative variables and then use a natural representation of some elements of the algebra \({\mathcal{A}(S_{n})}\) on the generic weight subspaces of the multiparametric quon algebra \({\mathcal{B}}\), which immediately gives the corresponding matrices of the quantum bilinear form.

In this paper, we determine the composition series of the induced representation
\(\delta([\nu^{-a}\rho,\nu^c\rho])\times \delta([\nu^\frac{1}{2}\rho,\nu^b\rho])\rtimes \sigma\) where
\(a, b, c \in \mathbb{Z}+\frac{1}{2}\) such that \(\frac{1}{2}\leq a \le b \le c\),
\(\rho\) is an irreducible cuspidal unitary representation of a general linear group
and \(\sigma\) is an irreducible cuspidal representation of a classical group such that
\(\nu^\frac{1}{2}\rho\rtimes \sigma\) reduces.
Some results in asymptotic analysis of finite-energy sequences of
one-dimensional Cahn–Hilliard functional with non-standard two-well potential

Published: June 2024

In this paper we extend the consideration of G. Leoni
pertaining to the finite-energy sequences of the one-dimensional
Cahn-Hilliard functional
\[
I^{\varepsilon}_0(u)=\int_{0}^{1}\Big({\varepsilon}^2
u'^2(s)+W(u(s))\Big)ds,
\]
where \(u\in {\rm H}^{1}(0,1)\) and where \(W\) is a two-well
potential with symmetrically placed wells endowed with a
non-standard integrability condition. We introduce several new
classes of finite-energy sequences, we recover their underlying geometric properties as
\(\varepsilon\longrightarrow 0\), and we prove the related compactness result.

We continue the work initiated by A. Rojas, F. Barragán and S. Macías in Conceptions on topological transitivity in products and symmetric products. Thurk. J. Math. 44 (2020), 491–523. We consider classes of functions not included in the mentioned paper, namely: exact in the sense of Akin-Auslander-Nagar, fully exact, strongly transitive in the sense of Akin-Auslander-Nagar, very strongly transitive, exact transitive, strongly exact transitive and strongly product transitive.
Implementasi Kinemaster Berbasis IPTEK Pada Pembelajaran Aksara Kaganga Di SD Sebagai Local Wisdom Bengkulu Utara
Authors: Supriatna Irfan , Lusa Herman , Asmahasanah Salati
Published: June 2024

This research is motivated by the lack of creativity of a teacher in utilizing existing media, especially based on science and technology, so that students have difficulty understanding the kaganga script in elementary schools. One example of an area that developed the Kaganga script and became part of learning in schools is the Rejang Tribe in North Bengkulu. The Kaganga script as local wisdom in Bengkulu, especially in North Bengkulu, is expected to be able to preserve local languages ​​in teaching and civilizing local languages ​​well so as to prevent extinction in the present and in the future. Most of the learning media used are still conventional, namely textbook-based and have not used science and technology-based media. Currently, Indonesia is having a difficult time due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so learning in schools uses online learning. Therefore, the implementation of kinemaster media is an alternative solution in the midst of the covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of kinemaster media based on science and technology in learning the Kaganga script in elementary schools as local wisdom of North Bengkulu. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with several stages, namely identifying significant problems, formulating problems clearly, determining the objectives and benefits of research, conducting literature studies related to the problem, determining the framework of thinking, research questions, and research hypotheses, designing research methods, determine population, sample, sampling technique, determine data collection instrument, and data analysis, make research report.

Published: June 2024

Indonesia continues to be committed to improving the quality of human resources. This is realized through the Ministry of Education and Culture, which promotes and implements a curriculum that supports learning freedom. The application of this curriculum requires not only theoretical support but also more practical technical support, which cannot be ignored. In this regard, the Mandalika University of Education, especially the biology education department, has held workshops related to technical guidance for implementing the freedom to learn curriculum. However, it is essential to understand that there needs to be more information regarding the readiness of prospective biology teacher students to implement this curriculum. Therefore, this research was conducted to describe the level of readiness of prospective biology teacher students for independent learning. In this research, 53 prospective teacher students were involved voluntarily as respondents, including 42 women and 11 men, consisting of 12 (semester 1), 15 (semester 3), 17 (semester 5), and 9 (semester 7). The instrument used to measure the level of readiness for independent learning was adapted from the self-rating scale of self-directed learning (SRSSDL) questionnaire. Next, data regarding readiness for independent learning was analyzed descriptively and quantitatively. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that 16.98% were not very ready (low or unprepared), 73.58% were not ready (moderate), and 9.43% were ready (high). These results also show that prospective biology teacher students have the same level of readiness for independent learning or that there is no significant difference in readiness for independent learning based on semester differences. Apart from that, of the SRSSDL components, self-awareness and learning activities have the lowest averages (32.51 and 32.09). Thus, our respondents (in this case, prospective biology teacher students) are not ready for independent learning. Regarding what will be done next, can be seen in the conclusions and recommendations section.
