Published: January 2024

The study was on Nigeria’s CC, PGR, and economic growth (1986-2021). Secondary data collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin, World Bank, WDI, and Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) were analyzed using unit root test, Auto-regressive distributed lag model (ARDL) for climate change since variables were of I(1) & I(0) as there was no co-integration. In contrast, the Error Correction Model (ECM) was used for population growth rate as variables were of I(1) and I(0), and there was co-integration. The GC test was adopted to determine the causal relationship among variables. The results showed that the coefficient values of lag one and two of LNRGDP had a significant relation with economic growth at both 10% and 1%, respectively, while lag three period of CAE was significant at a 5% level of probability. The study showed that birth growth rate and net migration positively and negatively impacted economic growth. It also showed unidirectional causality between crude death rate and economic growth and life expectancy at birth with economic growth. The study, therefore, recommends that the government invest in critical policies (real sectors of the economy) for economic growth and research the area of clean energy and eco-friendly approaches and population management with awareness campaigns that can ensure sustainable economic development.

The dog looks very dangerous with pruritus 9/10. The purpose of this article is to discuss the management of scabiosis and toxocariosis cases with therapy using sarolaner and pyrantel. On superficial examination of skin scraping, trichogram and skin tape, Sarcoptes scabiei mites were found. On stool examination using the original method, Toxocara canis worm eggs were found. Routine hematological examination results showed that the case dog had hyperchromic microcytic anemia, leukocytosis and lymphocytosis. Based on anamnesis, physical examination and support, the dog case was diagnosed with scabiosis and toxocariosis. Treatment was carried out by administering sarolaner (Simparica®), pyrantel (Drontal®), chlorpheniramine maleate, fish oil, Curcuma (herbafit®), vitamin B complex (Caviplex®), and bathing with antikeratolytic shampoo (sebazole®). On the 30th day after treatment showed improvement with no lesions found on the skin and hair growing properly. In addition, the stomach is not enlarged and the oral mucosa is normal, which is pink. Based on anamnesis, clinical examination, and clinical symptoms, the case dog was diagnosed with scabiosis and toxocariosis with a fausta prognosis. Therapy with sarolaner and pyrantel gives good results. Owners are advised to maintain the cleanliness of the environment where the dog is, and provide food and drink clean food. Giving pyrantel worm medicine to other animals needs to be done so that toxocariosis does not infect other animal cases.

Published: January 2024

Objective: The problem of reducing stunting rates cannot only be addressed through a health service approach. Approaches to poverty alleviation, public awareness of the environment and knowledge of the dangers of stunting must also be implemented. So that the government accelerates the reduction in stunting rates through policy interventions and begins involving many actors so that the government's target figures are achieved. Therefore, this research aims to find out the extent of the role of the actors involved in accelerating the reduction in stunting rates in Indonesia.   Theoretical framework: This research uses the pentahelix perspective in identifying the involvement of stakeholders. in the policy process, these stakeholders have a role according to their respective actor positions as regulators, conceptors, enablers, accelerators or expanders.   Method: This research is a qualitative research with a case study approach. data and information obtained from observation and literature study.   Results and conclusions: collaboration between stakeholders in accelerating the reduction of stunting in Bekasi district is effective. the stunting prevalence rate from year to year tends to decrease, especially from 2021 which reached 21.5% to 17.8%. the decline in the rate occurred due to the involvement of stakeholders. they have strategic roles that complement, support and perfect each other. the pattern of cooperation between actors, especially government, academics and business, has concretely alleviated and controlled stunting in several sub-districts and villages in Bekasi. Apart from that, community participation has not been optimal and there has been no collaboration in activities with other actors. Another drawback is that the role of media as an expander is not yet concrete. The media in Bekasi, including radio, print and electronic media, only report the news in a perfunctory manner. The actors actually provide information about their activity agenda, disseminate it through their respective websites and social media.   Research implications: This research has implications for the involvement of stakeholders in the implementation of policies to accelerate stunting reduction.   Originality/Value: The value of this research lies in multi-stakeholder collaboration in efforts to accelerate the reduction of stunting rates. The results of this research provide new value regarding the roles of multi-stakeholders as strategic actors who determine the success of a program or policy in improving the quality of life of the community.

Published: January 2024

Background: Cirrhosis is the final stage of liver disease characterized by fibrosis and irreversible nodule formation due to chronic inflammation. The most common liver cirrhosis complication is ascites, where pathological fluid accumulates in the peritoneal cavity. In cirrhosis, lymphocytes infiltrate the liver and contribute to stellate cell activation, differentiation, and the fibrogenic response. Many recent studies have not studied a relationship between the absolute lymphocyte count and ascites in liver cirrhosis. Therefore, it is important to investigate the relationship between lymphocytes and ascites in liver cirrhosis.Method: This is an observational study with a cross-sectional design study. Held in August–October 2022 at Dr. Doris Sylvanus Hospital's Medical Record Installation. 64 samples were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Meanwhile, absolute lymphocyte count were measured from the patient's blood tests or by calculation. Ascites were diagnosed by physical examination and radiology. The relationship between absolute lymphocyte count and ascites was analyzed using the chi-square test, with the results considered statistically significant when the p-value 0.05.Result: The medical records from April 2019 to April 2022, there were 64 samples, of which 15 and 49 were without and with ascites. Based on the chi-square test results, there was a significant relationship between absolute lymphocyte count and the incidence of ascites, with p = 0.02.Conclusion: This study concluded that there is a relationship between absolute lymphocyte count and ascites in patients with liver cirrhosis, where absolute lymphocyte count tends to decrease.

Published: January 2024

This study aimed to explore practical strategies for enhancing the competencies of preservice early childhood teachers in teacher–child interactions by examining the mediating effect of teaching competencies on the influence of emotional intelligence on teacher–child interactions. A total of 180 preservice early childhood teachers were enrolled in early childhood education programs in Gyeonggi and Incheon. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, path analysis, and mediation analysis were conducted using structural equation modeling for data collection and analysis. The study results revealed the following key findings: First, the emotional intelligence and teaching competencies of preservice early childhood teachers directly influence teacher–child interactions. Second, the emotional intelligence of preservice early childhood teachers indirectly affects teacher–child interactions through teaching competencies. Emotional intelligence was confirmed to have an indirect effect on teacher–child interactions through teaching competencies, which is greater than its direct effect. In conclusion, these findings indicate that education aimed at improving emotional intelligence and teaching competencies is essential for enhancing teacher–child interactions among preservice early childhood teachers.

Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to analyze early childhood teachers’ utilization and perceptions of digital content. The participants of this study were 236 early childhood teachers working in Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi, and Chungcheong provinces, and a survey was conducted. The collected data were subjected to descriptive statistics, cross-analysis, chi-square test, fisher exact test, and text mining. The results are as follows. First, the results of the survey on digital content utilization showed that videos were the most common type of digital content utilized, with statistical differences depending on the type of institution and completion experience on digital education. The most common device for digital content utilization was the desktop, with statistical differences depending on the type of institution and educational experience. The most common way to engage with digital content was through large and small group activities, the most common way to engage with digital content was for less than 10 minutes. There were about 2/3 of the rules for using digital content. Second, the results of the survey on the perception of digital content utilization showed that the most common reason for utilizing digital content was to search for information quickly, and they perceived that it was effective in supporting play. The most common problem with using digital content was the negative perception of parents and managers, and plans to use digital to support play and activities in the future were high. In terms of support for digital utilization, the most common request was to improve the environment. Attitudes toward digital technology and devices were above average. Lastly, in the case of keyword analysis on opinions on the use of digital content, while it was recognized that the use of digital content was necessary, there was a lack of awareness of the teacher’s specific role or the connection between play and education. The results of this study have implications in that they present basic data on digital-based education by identifying the utilization and perception of digital content.

Authors:   Gyeongin National University of Education, Won Ho-Jun , Lee Chul-Hyun
Published: January 2024

This study investigated the effects of a gamification-based education program centered on Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethical standards on elementary school students’ ethical awareness of AI. Therefore, a 16-session AI ethics educational program was developed based on the ADDIE model according to previous studies on AI ethics education and “human-centered AI ethical standards.” To verify the program’s effectiveness, the program extracted from the “AI ethics (Elementary School) Learning with AI Principles” (Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, 2022) was applied to compare between groups and used a student ethics consciousness test tool we developed.
The study results obtained through the application and analysis of this program are as follows. We found statistically significant differences in all areas of interest and the need for AI ethics and ethics education. The results of the pre-and post-tests for each AI ethics element showed statistically significant changes in all areas, except for the “responsibility” element. The AI ethics education program developed in this study is expected to contribute to the formation of a proper AI ethics consciousness among elementary school students.
A Study on the Commonness and Differences between Comprehesive Musicianship and Praxial Music Education
Authors:   Gyeongin National University of Education, Kim Yong Hee
Published: January 2024

This study examined the similarities and differences between comprehensive musicianship and praxial music education by exploring the backgrounds of these two perspectives. Both perspectives share commonalities, such as actively incorporating research results from diverse disciplines into music education, emphasizing music from various periods and cultures, focusing on relation and integration, stressing the development of creativity, promoting student-centered education, and acknowledging the challenges within expansive integrated discipline of “comprehensive musicianship.” However, the two perspectives revealed the differences in the basic concept of comprehensive musicianship, the acceptance of critical theory and critical pedagogy, the ultimate purpose and goal of music education, and the emphasis on sociality. The praxial perspective prompts further research inquiries, including investigating observable differences in students’ lives, establishing a universal definition of music, and exploring its potential as a generalized theory.

La necesidad de desarrollar los beneficios cognitivos, motores y emocionales en el aula de música de educación primaria, hace necesario dotar a los futuros docentes del Grado en Educación con herramientas y metodologías capaces de motivar a los estudiantes. Este artículo de investigación-acción, que se plantea como pregunta de investigación: ¿pueden los juegos musicales mejo­rar el aprendizaje a través del desarrollo de habilidades musicales usando boomwhackers?, presenta el trabajo desarrollado con alumnado del Grado en Educación Primaria durante los cursos 2022 y 2023 aplicando aprendizaje basado en juegos con boomwhackers para desarrollar el currículo de la asignatura didáctica de la educación musical en EP. Como defiende Lafuente (2019) el trabajo por proyectos es fundamental para mejorar rendimientos y motivar al alumnado, además, es necesario vincular las experiencias musicales en el aula con los intereses y experiencias de los estudiantes (Giraldez, 2019), utilizando el aprendizaje basado en juegos con instrumentos prácticos como los boomwhackers. El proyecto de aprendizaje basado en juegos con tubos sonoros mejora el aprendizaje musical activo y participativo. Más del 90% de los participantes planea usar el aprendizaje basado en juegos y boomwhackers en su futura práctica docente en educación primaria.
La défense de l’idéal sioniste au Canada, point de rencontre entre Juifs et chrétiens 1939–1947
Authors: Tessier Laurent
Published: January 2024

In the early 1940s, the Canadian Jewish Zionist organizations, whose activities were essentially focused on the Jewish community and fundraising for Jewish settlement in Palestine, decided to reorient their strategy and establish a real public relations policy. The priority was to find support among the Canadian population so that parliamentarians and the Canadian government would put pressure on London to end the migration restrictions on persecuted European Jews to Palestine. Canadian Jewish Zionists found singular support among a few English-speaking Christian compatriots whose familiarity with the biblical stories nurtured a certain sympathy for their cause. Two organizations made up of “non-Jewish Zionists” were created to channel their support: the Canadian Palestine Committee and the Christian Council for Palestine. The study of their archives highlights the moral and political arguments put forward by those designated as “Christian Zionists”. The antagonistic portraits of the Jew and the Arab that are revealed in their speeches betray both their imperialist projections and the paradoxical absence of a true dialogue between Jews and Christians in Canada.
A “Ghoulish Jamboree”: The Not-So-Jewish Jewish Funeral of Mob Boss Bessie Starkman
Authors: Halpern Monda
Published: January 2024

Bessie Starkman (1889-1930), along with her lover Rocco Perri, was one of the most notorious crime bosses in 1920s Canada. When unknown thugs murdered the fortyyear-old at her Hamilton, Ontario home, Canada’s underworld lost one of its most powerful figures, and according to one writer “the only Jewish woman who ever commanded an Italian mob.” Focused on the couple’s criminality and Starkman’s 1930 murder, scholars have generally sidestepped exploration of her Jewish identity and background. Indeed, in 2005, author Robin Rowland declared simply that when the wife and mother ran off with the Italian Catholic Perri, she “abandoned her husband, children, and Jewish faith”; almost every subsequent source on Starkman has quoted or paraphrased this assertion. The notion that Bessie Starkman “deserted the Jewish faith,” however, requires greater scrutiny, especially as the concept of religious abandonment had consequences regarding funerary ritual and interment. Unlike other works that describe Starkman’s extravagant funeral to emphasize her celebrity, Perri’s husbandly devotion, or the occasion’s cultural/religious pluralism, this article examines Starkman’s funeral and burial specifically through a Jewish lens and highlights the cultural and religious tension that surrounded these rites. Thanks largely to Perri, there were two major features that conformed to Jewish custom, notably the rabbi officiant and Starkman’s burial in Hamilton’s Orthodox Jewish cemetery. But the simple Jewish funeral that prioritized the dignity, privacy, and purity of the body clashed with Perri’s explicit desire for a spectacle, one marked by crowds, adulation, and opulence. Ultimately, Starkman’s public funeral, as one observer noted, became a “ghoulish jamboree.”
Outside the Colony: Jewish Farmers on the Prairies
Authors: Lehr John C.
Published: January 2024

Jews who immigrated to the Canadian prairies before 1914 mostly gravitated to urban areas. Those who chose to farm usually located in Jewish agricultural colonies where a full Jewish life was possible. A minority voluntarily settled in small farming communities among non-Jews. Jewish merchants in prairie towns also became involved in agriculture both as farmers and as agricultural traders and dealers. Few Jews chose to settle on homesteads where they were isolated from Jewish social and religious life. In the interwar period, attempts to circumvent restrictions placed on Jewish immigration led Jewish philanthropic agencies to place Jewish refugee immigrants on scattered farms, often isolated from Jewish communities. Although economically unsuccessful the strategy achieved its humanitarian objectives.
Identifikasi Penyebab Kerusakan Konstruksi Bangunan Beton Bertulang Pasca Bencana Gempa Bumi

Reinforced concrete is a construction that is vulnerable to damage during an earthquake if not done properly. This article focuses on the results of field observations after the earthquake disaster in Lombok and Palu in 2018, with the aim of identifying the type of damage that occurred in reinforced concrete buildings. This identification is important to understand the potential causes of damage and/or collapse in reinforced concrete buildings. The results of field observations show that low concrete quality and lack of standard reinforcement detailing processes are the main factors contributing to the large number of buildings experiencing damage and/or collapse during the earthquake. Poor quality concrete, such as a mismatch in the mix or a lack of strength, can make a structure brittle and unable to withstand excessive earthquake forces. Apart from that, lack of attention to the reinforcement detailing process is also a cause of significant damage. Non-standard reinforcement detailing includes a lack of the required amount of reinforcement in the structure, installation of shear reinforcement that does not meet the requirements, and a lack of shear reinforcement at beam and column connections. Lack of reinforcement in structural connections reduces the strength and stiffness of the structural system, thereby increasing the risk of collapse during an earthquake. The location and method of installing brick walls is also one of the factors causing building damage. Through analysis of the results of these observations, it can be concluded that good quality concrete and the process of detailing reinforcement and brick walls according to standards are very important to reduce damage and increase the resistance of reinforced concrete structures to earthquakes. Proper implementation of structural design specifications and careful monitoring during construction can help reduce the risk of damage caused by earthquakes.

Earthquake is a pounding that caused by a released energy of ground motion. The earthquake in high seismic zone caused damages and loss of live. Thus, there was important to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of structure before an earthquake was occurred to prevent the damage and safe of lives. The seismic vulnerability can be described by using fragility curves. These fragility curves was developed by HAZUS method that present the probability of the structure damage due to various ground shaking or lateral displacement of the building. This paper addresses the performance based design method to consider the building capacity due to Padang ground motion. Therefore, the damage probability was calculated by using the lognormal distribution with the probabilistic parameter was acquired by HAZUS engineering building module. Then, the fragility assesment of the building was compared in transverse and longitudinal direction. The result reveals that the building is vulnerable to collapse due to Padang ground motion.

A bridge is a construction structure whose role is to connect one place to another by crossing a natural or artificial obstacle. Bridge conditions can be caused by many factors such as the influence of weather, traffic loads, the environment, material durability, and so on. Good bridge conditions can be achieved if maintenance is carried out regularly. Therefore, assessing or checking the condition of the bridge is very necessary so that disturbances caused by the factors above can be avoided before an accident occurs. From the results of the field survey, it was found that 52.11% of bridges were in Good condition, 27.46% in Lightly Damaged Condition, 16.90% in Damaged Condition, 2.82% in Severely Damaged Condition and 0.70% in Critical Condition. . The bridge condition assessment was carried out for 2 weeks by carrying out inventory checks, detailed surveys and routine surveys on each bridge.
Mobilidades do feminino
Authors: Glenadel Paula
Published: January 2024

Neste depoimento, emitido a partir da minha prática de escrita de poesia e de reflexão sobre o tema do feminino, procuro caracterizar essa noção em termos de uma certa relação com a mobilidade, tanto espacial quanto existencial. Da imobilidade tradicional à reivindicação e conquista de múltiplas possibilidades de mover-se, a escrita poética feminina reflete esses movimentos, como se pode ver nos poemas citados – alguns poemas meus, de Simone Brantes, Angélica Freitas e Claudia Roquette-Pinto.

Um certo humor da tocadora de “frauta”: sobre poemas de Maria Antonieta Tatagiba
Authors: Sodré Paulo Roberto
Published: January 2024

O artigo analisa aspectos humorísticos e sua relação com o bestiário mencionado, em especial os pássaros, no único livro de Maria Antonieta Tatagiba, Frauta agreste (1927), conjunto de poesia bucólica fundamentalmente baseada na poética academista do início do século XX no Brasil. Para a leitura dos poemas, o estudo considera as noções de humor do ponto de vista linguístico-literário de Vladímir Propp (1992), Luiz Carlos Travaglia (2015) e Terry Eagleton (2020), e histórico-social de Jan Bremmer e Herman Roodenburg (2000). Observa que os poemas “O ribeirão” e “Á beira da matta” desencadeiam o humor pelo efeito inesperado ou incongruente, um dos elementos importantes na fatura do texto engraçado, da presença de certos bichos e seus sons na paisagem campestre desenhada pela poeta.
