Your Way AI Way: Let’s Meet Half-Way: Paradigm Shift in TEFL
Authors: Milad Marine , Fayez Fatma
Published: June 2024

With the use of modern technological advancements nowadays, a drastic shift can be clearly noticeable in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) approaches. This change can be attributed to various factors related to the way learners adopt different strategies to attain learning and the way tutors adopt different approaches to develop the teaching/learning processes. This research study investigates the differences between lesson plans developed by Arab Open University (AOU) student-teachers in the light of their own preferred teaching styles and the ones produced by Artificial Intelligence (AI). The study investigates the impact of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) on targeted student-teachers’ performance in enhancing the developed lesson plans. The data has been collected from reviews of literature, the teaching styles inventory, and the in-class presentations of AOU student-teachers’ lesson plans. The analysis of the lesson plans developed by AOU student-teachers, and the ones created by AI app (ChatGPT) has resulted in concluding that nearly all the artificially created lesson plans lack human factor and interactive practices that meet the learners’ natural characteristic as being sociable, active, and curious. The researchers are suggesting a midway strategy that aims to aid AOU student-teachers in developing effective lesson plans by integrating the learned TEFL teaching methods with AI tools such as ChatGPT.

Pour une écriture synchronique. Stratégies de concurrence de la peinture chez Claude Simon et Nathalie Sarraute
Authors: Noël Lison
Published: June 2024

Cette contribution s’intéresse à l’influence des peintres expressionnistes américains sur le travail des nouveaux romanciers et notamment le rapport de concurrence, voire de jalousie, de Claude Simon et de Nathalie Sarraute vis-à-vis de la représentation picturale moderne. Leur écriture est en effet une recherche pour représenter simultanément tous les éléments d’un « tableau » pour Simon, tous les « tropismes » d’une situation mise en scène par l’auteur pour Sarraute, simultanéité que permet l’espace de la toile qui offre à l’œil une représentation synchronique de tous les éléments qui la composent, et que ne permet pas l’écriture, art par essence linéaire.
De l’extase à l’angoisse : Les nouveaux chemins de la liberté chez Sartre
Authors: Wang Chunming
Published: June 2024

L’objectif de la présente étude est d’expliciter la notion sartrienne de liberté telle qu’elle est élaborée, dans son premier moment, à partir de la description eidétique de la conscience transcendantale qui, par les outils d’enquête phénoménologiques, se définit comme mouvement perpétuel d’extase. Intentionnelle, spontanée et temporelle, la conscience extatique s’angoisse transcendantalement et fatalement. Ce sera à partir de cette identification de l’extase à l’angoisse, dans la mesure où elles sont toutes deux la qualification de la liberté humaine, que l’on va comprendre la rhétorique sartrienne sur la réalité de notre existence en tant que délaissement et inachèvement.
Témoins de mémoires spécifiques : les monuments aux morts de la Grande Guerre dans le Nord-Pas-de-Calais
Authors: Meirlaen Matthias
Published: June 2024

Dans l’entre-deux-guerres, un vaste mouvement commémoratif se développe. Presque chaque commune de France commémore alors ses morts tombés pendant la Grande Guerre. Dans la majorité des communes, les manifestations en l’honneur des morts se déroulent autour de monuments érigés pour l’occasion. Cet article examine les représentations portées par les monuments communaux de la Première Guerre mondiale dans la région Nord-Pas-de-Calais. Cette région constitue du point de vue de la guerre un espace charnière spécifique. Après les batailles d’octobre 1914, elle est partagée pour quatre années en trois zones distinctes : une zone de front, une zone occupée et une zone libre. L’article cherche à voir si les représentations portées par les monuments aux morts de l’entre-deux guerres diffèrent dans les trois secteurs concernés. Il s’agit d’éclairer comment la guerre peut s’inscrire dans la mémoire collective d’une manière spatialement diversifiée, pour montrer que la multiplicité des expériences de guerre a suscité une hétérogénéité spatiale des mémoires.
Canadian Courts Dismiss Air Carrier Claims on Preliminary Bases

This article discusses recent Canadian jurisprudence which affirms that the Montreal Convention (The Montreal Convention was incorporated into Canadian law as a dualist system of international law by the Carriage by Air Act, Revised Statutes of Canada (RSC) 1985, c C-26 exclusively governs claims arising from international flights seeking damages for death or bodily injury; destruction, damage or loss to baggage and cargo; and delays. Plaintiffs who seek recourse without properly pleading the Montreal Convention, or adhering to its limitation period, risk having their claims dismissed on a preliminary basis. Additionally, plaintiffs who improperly bring claims in the Federal Court of Canada risk having their claims summarily dismissed on jurisdictional grounds.
Digital Regulation in the UK: A Drive to Make Digital Technology More Accountable
Authors: Henderson Rebecca
Published: June 2024

We live in a world where the internet and devices are so core to our day-to-day life that the average UK adult touches their mobile phone more than 2,500 times a day!1 We use the internet to organize our lives, contact friends and family, order clothes, food and household items and update people on our lives. It is no wonder that the amount of data held about us follows suit. Our online ‘profiles’ of data, preferences, interactions etc. builds up a picture of us, our wants, needs etc., and marketing firms purchase this data to better inform their demographics and campaigns. Recently, there have been a number of high profile cases involving children and their interactions with social media that have contributed to some disturbing crimes and/or incidents, such as bullying, harassment, child exploitation and suicide. Such cases have shown the power that internet and social media platforms possess and have led to calls for more digital regulation in the UK

Published: June 2024

Objective To assess prenatal ultrasonographic findings and postnatal outcomes in fetuses with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH).Methods This retrospective study included fetuses prenatally diagnosed with ICH between December 2012 and August 2023. Maternal characteristics, prenatal ultrasonographic findings, and postnatal outcomes were reviewed.Results Twenty-seven fetuses with ICH were reviewed. Intracranial hemorrhage was classified as grade 3 and 4 in 24 fetuses. Twenty-two fetuses had ICH, four had ICH with subdural hemorrhage, and one had ICH with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Ventriculomegaly was the most common ultrasonographic finding, and was observed in 22 of the 27 (81.5%) fetuses. Seven fetuses were lost to follow-up, and four intrauterine fetal deaths occurred. The remaining 16 fetuses were delivered at a median gestational age of 35+2 weeks. The infants were followed-up for 40.1 months (range, 4-88). Nine of the 16 infants underwent ventriculoperitoneal placement. One infant underwent brain surgery for severe epilepsy. Motor impairment, including cerebral palsy, was observed in 13 infants (81.2%). Neurologic impairment occurred in six infants (37.5%), developmental delay in nine (56.2%), and epilepsy in 11 (68.7%).Conclusion Fetal ICH is a rare complication diagnosed during pregnancy, which results in subsequent fetal neurological sequelae or death. This study demonstrated that the common ultrasonographic findings in fetal ICH were progressive ventriculomegaly and increased periventricular echogenicity. Fetuses diagnosed with prenatal ICH, especially those affected by higher-grade ICH, may be at an increased risk of long-term neurodevelopmental problems.

Published: June 2024

Este artigo, sob a premissa do acesso à justiça, objetiva analisar criticamente a Lei nº 14.726/2023, a qual introduz gratificação por exercício cumulativo de ofícios para membros da Defensoria Pública da União (DPU). Com isso, almeja-se investigar se a referida lei representa uma solução genuína para os desafios enfrentados pela DPU no que tange a promoção do acesso à justiça ou se, noutro giro, tal lei apenas desvia a atenção de questões mais profundas e estruturais. Para tanto, o presente estudo emprega uma metodologia que inclui revisão de literatura especializada, análise de documentos legais e avaliação de dados relevantes sobre a DPU. Ademais, o artigo revela que, apesar de a Lei nº 14.726/2023 genuinamente reconhecer o trabalho adicional dos defensores públicos, ela não aborda de forma suficiente os desafios mais amplos do sistema jurídico no que tange ao acesso à justiça. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo conclui acerca da necessidade de abordagens mais abrangentes e eficazes, destarte, contribuindo significativamente para o debate sobre medidas mais apropriadas para promoção do acesso à justiça no Brasil.

Authors: Makhachashvili Rusudan , Semenist Ivan
Published: June 2024

Dynamic transformation of the knowledge economy, enhanced by Industry 4.0/5.0 development and rise of the networked society in the Digital Age, emergency digitization of all social communicative spheres due to pandemic measures have imposed dramatic changes onto transdisciplinary overlap in different areas of human knowledge and experience, induced by the cross-sectorial job market demands of university level education, curriculum design and learning outcomes. The global pandemic and subsequent warfare in Ukraine induced amplified digitalization measures in the higher education sphere. This end-to end digital shift in the educational processes (communication, content, outcomes and outputs, skills) heralded the introduction of meta-disciplinary dimensions of learning – digital, hybrid and, blended. These meta-disciplinary dimensions can be considered conduits of vertical (endocentric) and horizontal (exocentric) transdisciplinary of digital education as a sustainable dynamic system. Applied trans-disciplinary lens contributes to the solution of holistic modeling of processes and results of updating models and mechanisms of the highly dynamic communication system of education in the digital environment as a whole and its individual formats in the emergency digitization measures of different types.

D-CIDE: An Interactive Code Learning Program
Authors: Grant Lukas , Tennyson Matthew F. , Owen Jason
Published: June 2024

This paper introduces D-CIDE (Distributed Classroom Integrated Development Environment), a tool that is designed to improve student-teacher interactions in programming classes. D-CIDE's main objective is to provide more meaningful interactions between teachers and students. Its goal is to create a more seamless and interactive learning environment for everyone who uses it. D-CIDE is a distributed integrated development environment (IDE), where the teacher (host) can manage and interact with the IDEs of all students (clients). It makes use of server-client interactions to allow live sharing and editing of code, making it a useful tool for demonstrating coding techniques and quickly addressing student questions. The front-end was developed using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and provides a way for the students and teachers to interact with each other. The back-end is made with JavaScript and NodeJS and handles data processing and transmission. The effectiveness of D-CIDE was analyzed through a classroom case study involving a small group of students. The study measured students' engagement, enjoyment, and learning outcomes using D-CIDE compared to traditional teaching methods. Results indicated an increase in student engagement and satisfaction when D-CIDE was used, as well as an improvement in students' learning experiences.
RELAÇÃO ENTRE DECLARAÇÕES DE APTIDÃO AO PROGRAMA NACIONAL DE FORTALECIMENTO DA AGRICULTURA FAMILIAR (PRONAF) E A COMERCIALIZAÇÃO PARA O PROGRAMA NACIONAL DE ALIMENTAÇÃO ESCOLAR (PNAE) EM MUNICÍPIOS GOIANOS
Authors: Rocha Gabriela Gomes da , Martins Karine Anusca
Published: June 2024

Introdução: A obrigatoriedade da compra de, no mínimo, 30% do repasse do Fundo Nacional de Desenvolvimento da Educação (FNDE) em gêneros alimentícios provenientes da agricultura familiar para o Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE), representou uma boa estratégia de incentivo a melhores hábitos alimentares na escola e melhoria na renda de pequenos agricultores. Objetivo: Analisar a relação entre o número de Declarações de Aptidão (DAP) ativas ao Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar (PRONAF) e a comercialização para o PNAE em municípios goianos. Metodologia: Trata-se de estudo transversal descritivo com análise de dados secundários disponíveis no Portal Brasileiro de Dados Abertos e do Sistema de Gestão de Prestação de Contas (SiGPC). Os dados foram coletados no período de março a outubro de 2021 e referem-se ao ano de 2019. Foram realizadas análises estatísticas descritivas. Resultados: Os resultados demonstraram que 74,1% das cidades goianas realizaram a compra da agricultura familiar e, destes, 54,3% adquiriram, pelo menos, 30% de gêneros alimentícios diretamente da agricultura familiar para o PNAE. Quanto ao número de DAP ativas do estado, obteve-se um total de 31.044, sendo 99,7% (n=30.941) do agricultor (pessoa física). A distribuição de DAP pessoa física se mostrou relativamente homogênea (acima de 80%) entre as mesorregiões do estado, sendo maior na Leste. Conclusão: Apesar da maior parte dos municípios de Goiás realizar, em 2019, a compra da alimentação escolar pela agricultura familiar, por meio de DAF pessoa física, o percentual mínimo exigido nesse processo de comercialização pela Lei no 11.947/2009 foi cumprido por 54,3% destes municípios. Ações de educação permanente com todos os atores sociais envolvidos na execução do PNAE e uma maior integração com os agricultores familiares, promovendo estratégias de capacitação técnica em parcerias intersetoriais, são recomendadas. Pesquisas complementares devem ser estimuladas pelas universidades regionais.

Draw what’s on your mind: Comparative analysis of preschool and primary school children’s drawings
Authors:   University of Hradec Králové, Department of Primary, Preprimary and Special Education, Havigerová Jana Marie , Herynková Marie ,   University of Hradec Králové, Department of Primary, Preprimary and Special Education
Published: June 2024

Children’s drawings provide valuable insights into their mind, their development. The study aimed to compare children’s drawings revealing age and sex differences. A total of 204 children aged 5-8 years participated, drawing pictures based on a content-neutral instruction (Draw what’s in your mind.). Theme and frequency analysis were conducted. Results showed that preschoolers drew significantly fewer objects (modus = 1) compared to first graders (modus = 11). Preschoolers most often drew vehicles, persons, and symbols, while first graders’ drawings vary much within themes and objects. Girls in both age groups depicted more nature-related objects, while boys focused on human-made products. These findings suggest a developmental shift, with preschoolers often drawing what they see or can draw and first graders expressing complex inner contents and experiences. Comparing drawings of preschool children and first graders can enhance our understanding of developmental processes during this period.

Authors: Jang Xue
Published: June 2024

Teaching materials are a bridge connecting teachers, students and knowledge, and they play an irreplaceable role in ensuring the quality of education and promoting the all-round development of students. Among all the courses in the basic stage of English majors, the Integrated English Courses occupies a large proportion in the English majors' curriculum. And the textbook for Integrated English 2, Contemporary College English: Intensive Reading 2,  is widely used in colleges and universities in China. This study collected the data from questionnaire and interview to assess the Contemporary College English Intensive Reading 2 (Third Edition), in order to gauge student perceptions of its components and identify the textbook's strengths, weaknesses, and usage challenges. The analysis indicates that while the textbook is largely effective in meeting educational goals and is appreciated for its content and organization, there are areas for improvement, particularly in the underuse of audio-visual resources and the need for differentiated support for students facing difficulties. To enhance the textbook, this study recommends the integration of AI in language learning, the use of interactive technologies, and the flipped classroom approach to foster a more dynamic and personalized learning experience. These adaptations aim to prepare English major students for modern challenges while maintaining the textbook's relevance and efficacy.
"Reinventing" Vocational Education Policy: Pitfalls and Possibilities
Authors: Taylor Alison , Lehmann Wolfgang
Published: June 2024

This article traces vocational education policy in the province of Alberta from the 1960s federal Technical and Vocational Training Assistance Act to the provincial endorsement of new curriculum and transition initiatives in the 1990s. The purpose is to understand the implications of shifts in policy over time. Our examination suggests that although the current provincial approach is strengthened by the commitment of local educators and employers, it is hampered by the lack of institutional support including resources and research into outcomes, as well as coherence and clarity about educational policy objectives. The resilience of existing structures, attitudes, and practices also poses challenges to the implementation of policy.
Creative Teenage Students: What Are They Telling Us About Their Experiences in (and Around) Our High Schools?
Authors: Spooner Marc
Published: June 2024

This article highlights various approaches for accommodating and promoting creativity in high school students. Although in the past studies have addressed fostering creativity in our educational systems, few have sought the informative voice of the young creators themselves. The focus of the present study is primarily on environmental determinants of creativity as perceived by 13 (7 male, 6 female) creative seniors selected from a Canadian metropolitan high school. A qualitative study guided by an interactionist model of creative behavior (Woodman & Schoenfeldt, 1989), the present research design adheres most closely to the social constructionist interpretation and application of the grounded theory method as outlined by Charmaz (1990). Insights from 13 interviews and several field observations are divided into three sections. First, identified creative individuals are presented. Then emergent themes relevant to educational systems are examined, and finally, implications and suggestions are discussed.
Silent Voices, Silent Stories: Japanese Canadians in Social Studies Textbooks
Authors: Tupper Jennifer
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this article is to illustrate the importance of reading social studies textbooks through a critical lens. Students and teachers who engage in critical interrogation of texts will broaden their understanding of history and the inequities that have shaped Canadian society over time. Informed by both critical and postmodern theory, this analysis of three commonly used grade 10 social studies textbooks elucidates the limitations inherent in each textbook's discussion of the history of Japanese Canadians. It also illustrates the failure to contextualize specific events in history, potentially leaving students with a narrow conception of historical events. Historical sources written by Japanese Canadians were used to gain a better understanding of their experiences and to strengthen the analysis. The implications of the limitations for students and teachers are discussed, as well as how textbooks can be used more productively in social studies classrooms.
Liberalizing Career Education: An Aristotelian Approach
Authors: Hyslop-Margison Emery J.
Published: June 2024

Liberal education is traditionally defined in opposition to vocational study. This article proposes an expanded approach to liberal education that encompasses contemporary career preparation programs by implementing an Aristotelian intellectual virtue framework. Although liberal study typically reflects its lineage to theoretical wisdom, or sophia, it virtually ignores the fundamental role played by productive wisdom, or techne, in Aristotelian thought. By applying the intellectual virtue framework to various career education programs, areas of required reform are identified. Two central questions are addressed by the article: (a) how can career education be integrated into secondary school curriculum without compromising student agency and democratic citizenship? and (b) how can secondary school career education prepare students more effectively for the challenges of contemporary working life? The final section offers a series of proposals in response to these two key questions.
Employment of Coffee Husk Ash as Proxy with Fine Total & Corn Cob Ash as Cover to Cement for M40 Specific
Authors:   Department of Civil Engineering & Dr. K. V. Subba Reddy Institute of Technology
Published: June 2024

As In the recent decades the worldwide construction business has encountered hurdles owing of the Covid-19 epidemic, resulting to developing concerns. Material shortages throughout the supply chain have become a serious problem. Construction material contributes about 50% of overall project expenditures. Effective material management is vital to solve shortages and limit inventory costs. The continued demand for building services leads to increasing costs. Sustainable building materials serve a crucial role in resolving environmental issues and boosting resilience in civil engineering projects. The easiest technique to handle this problem is include the waste products towards elements in concrete. COFFEE HUSK ASH (CHA) is a byproduct obtained from the burning of coffee husks, which are produced in vast amounts owing to worldwide coffee bean trade. Researchers have examined the use of CHA in concrete, particularly as a partial cement substitute. However, our experimental work, the emphasis moved to replacing fine aggregate (not simply cement) with CHA. CORN COB ASH (CCA) is another agro-waste resource that may be utilized as a supplemental cementitious ingredient. It helps lessen the environmental effect of concrete manufacturing and may be partly replaced for cement. This Paper speaks about preserve the consistent frequency to compose CCA with cement 4% & CHA with Fine total like 0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, 12% & 15% and additionally the comparison is conducted with proxy blends like 0%CCA+0%CHA, 4%CCA+3%CHA, 4%CCA+6%CHA, 4%CCA+9%CHA, 4%CCA+12%CHA & 4%CCA+15%CHA for M40 Specific. In summary, both coffee husk ash and corn cob ash provide viable solutions for strengthening concrete characteristics while resolving waste management problems. This study continues to seek creative methods to employ such materials in sustainable building processes. Key Words: Coffee Husk Ash (CHA), Corn Cob Ash (CCA), Cement, Fine Total & M40 Specific

Published: June 2024

Problem behavior of students in school settings have negative effects on several areas of functioning in children. Empirical research has provided conclusive evidence regarding lifetime repercussions when problematic behavior is not treated. Despite evidence of the effectiveness of applied behavior analysis interventions to improve student’s behavior, access to these services remains a major challenge. Training teachers and staff in these procedures has been shown to be an effective alternative to achieve a greater reach; however, little attention has been paid to the effect of teacher training on student’s outcomes. The current systematic review aims to provide a synthesis of the evidence of teacher’s behavioral skills training intended to modify student’s behavior. Fifty-three empirical studies were collected from eight databases and eight specialized journals. Overall, we found the studies provide evidence of the effectiveness of teacher training on student’s outcomes. We also describe the main characteristics of the study interventions and discuss potential considerations related to training components that can be used to provide more effective training, especially for diverse contexts and communities with fewer resources. Needs for future research are discussed.

Forests are complex ecosystems facing threats such as climate change and invasive pests. Climate change increases forest vulnerabilities through droughts and extreme weather, while invasive pests intensify these challenges. Traditional pest monitoring, once limited to experts, is being transformed by citizen science, engaging the public in research and monitoring. Projects like iNaturalist expand monitoring reach, enhance early pest detection, and foster environmental stewardship. Citizen scientists provide valuable data supporting rapid responses and collaboration with plant health specialists. Technologies like drones and environmental DNA empower volunteers and improve data accuracy. Despite limitations like species identification difficulties, comprehensive training and expert validation enhance data reliability. Case studies on tree health surveillance and Cerambyxcerdo management show citizen science's effectiveness in increasing surveillance and fostering community-based monitoring.

Published: June 2024

Interpersonal communication is a fundamental aspect of the relationship between dentists and patients. This research aims to explore the process of effective interpersonal communication in this context. Using a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, data was collected through in-depth interviews and observations of interactions between dentists and patients during the counseling process. The findings indicate that the use of easily understandable language, empathetic attitudes, supportive attitudes, positive attitudes, and equality in communication from the dentist are crucial in building a good therapeutic relationship with the patient. Most patients felt comfortable and open to sharing their problems and conditions due to the non-judgmental, empathetic, supportive, and positive attitudes of the dentist. However, professional boundaries are still necessary to maintain equality in the doctor-patient relationship. This research emphasizes the importance of effective interpersonal communication in enhancing patient satisfaction, providing treatment, and facilitating better healthcare.

The study’s core objective is to assess the comparison of AI-assisted and non-AI-assisted writing discourse performances of Grade-10 students of Ipil National High School for the academic year 2023-2024. It also investigates the attitude of students towards the use of AI-writing tools specifically on its utilization, usefulness and negative implications, and explores the connection of their attitudes to their profile backgrounds and writing performances.  
            Utilizing the Descriptive-Correlational design of research, it tries to determine whether the AI-tools influence the writing performance of students. The qualitative research method was also used to find out and describe the observable attitudes of students toward the use of AI-powered writing tools.
            With forty-five (45) Grade-10 students involved in this study who are using AI-writing tools such as ChaTGPT, Grammarly, Quillbot, a survey-questionnaire was used to gather their personal data and an inventory questionnaire containing 5-point Likert scale to measure their attitudes towards the use of AI-tools. The students also undergone essay tests to determine their writing performances in non-AI-assisted and AI-assisted which were done in different schedules.
            The finding underscored that one of the reasons why the writing performance of students is poor is because of the educational background of their mothers since mothers are considered as the frontliners of establishing the foundation of students in learning.  Moreover, the attitude of students towards the use of AI writing tools is not quite positive. Although the students had a better writing performance using AI, they could not appreciate well to use these tools since they are aware on its negative implications. Furthermore, the study reveals that students have insufficient knowledge about the usefulness or the real purpose of these tools. What they only know about AI tools are like Google that they just get ideas or information to include in their write ups. For them it is not an aid for the author but an idea -generator. Hence, using AI tools in teaching writing skills of students is a great move but the findings of this study suggest that before integrating the use of AI in writing composition class, the students need to be enlightened or educated about the real purpose of it to avoid its potential misuse. Teachers and educational managers should conduct seminars to help students realize the benefits of these tools aside from knowing its drawbacks or weaknesses. This also calls for the teachers to monitor their students on using AI-powered tools if it is being utilized in the classroom. This is to find out whether they are using it properly or not; whether the students utilize it in terms of its features which is very helpful for them to improve the effectivity and productivity of their write-ups and most importantly to avoid the temptation of plagiarism which is a great threat in the world of the academe.

Dalam paper ini disampaikan hasil pengembangan model efisiensi arus pada elektrolisis serbuk tembaga dan menganalisis faktor yang paling berpengaruh terhadap efisiensi arus menggunakan perancangan percobaan faktorial 2K. Tiga variabel bebas yang dipertimbangkan adalah konsentrasi ion tembaga (Cu), rapat arus, dan waktu elektrolisis. Percobaan elektrolisis serbuk tembaga dilakukan dengan menggunakan anoda plat tembaga murni (99,88% Cu) dan katoda dari stainless steel 316L. Efisiensi arus dihitung berdasarkan data berat serbuk tembaga yang dihasilkan. Karakterisasi serbuk tembaga menggunakan Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) untuk mengetahui morfologi dan distribusi ukuran serbuk, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) untuk mengidentifikasi fasa/senyawa serbuk, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) untuk menganalisis komposisi unsur dan Particle Size Analyzer (PSA) untuk mengetahui ukuran partikel serbuk dan distribusinya. Dengan model prediksi diperoleh efisiensi arus tertinggi sebesar 96%. Serbuk tembaga yang dihasilkan memiliki morfologi berstruktur dendritik dengan ukuran partikel rata-rata sebesar 114,9 µm serta bersenyawa cuprite (Cu2O) dan tembaga (Cu) dengan komposisi 88,17% Cu dan 11,83% O.

Penggunaan insulasi termal pada hunian dapat menjadi solusi untuk menjaga suhu di dalam ruangan agar kenyamanan dalam bekerja dan beristirahat dapat optimum. Salah satu bahan ramah lingkungan yang dapat digunakan sebagai insulasi termal adalah serat batang pisang (BP) karena nilai konduktivitas termalnya yang rendah, yaitu 0,1166 W/mK, sedangkan matriksnya menggunakan polipropilena (PP). Produksi polipropilena yang tinggi dapat menyebabkan pencemaran lingkungan sehingga polipropilena daur ulang (PPDU) perlu dipelajari untuk dapat dijadikan matriks pada insulasi termal. Penelitian ini menggunakan compression molding pada tekanan 8 MPa dan temperatur 170°C selama 60 menit dengan variasi fraksi volume serat batang pisang sebesar 10%, 30% dan 50% dan variasi jenis matriks, yaitu PP dan PPDU. Kemudian, hasil manfaktur dikarakterisasi menggunakan uji densitas dan uji konduktivitas termal. Hasil pengujian densitas pada BP/PP dan BP/PPDU menurun seiring dengan penambahan fraksi volume berturut-turut. Hal ini dapat terjadi akibat pembentukan void selama proses manufaktur berlangsung. Selain itu, nilai konduktivitas termal masing-masing meningkat dari 0,37 ke 0,89 W/mK untuk BP/PP dan dari 0,58 ke 0,94 W/mK untuk BP/PPDU. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa semakin kecil fraksi volume serat akan menghasilkan nilai konduktivitas termal lebih rendah. Begitu pula dengan penggunaan PP murni yang lebih diminati karena memberikan nilai konduktifitas yang lebih rendah dibanding PPDU.

Untuk mendapatkan nilai terbaik, metode Taguchi menggunakan analisis signal-to-noise (S/N), yang memerlukan pengumpulan data berulang untuk berbagai faktor kontrol. Namun, dalam praktik, metode Taguchi masih gagal memenuhi gagasan bahwa pengumpulan data hanya dilakukan satu kali saja. Ada pilihan analisis standar yang tidak memerlukan pengumpulan data berulang. Dalam kasus pengumpulan data tunggal, penelitian ini menyelidiki validasi metode Taguchi dengan membandingkan hasil eksperimen validasi dan analisis standar dengan hasil optimasi. Empat parameter perbandingan, yaitu kombinasi faktor kontrol, prediksi nilai optimum, penyimpangan dari nilai prediksi optimum, dan peringkat pengaruh faktor kontrol digunakan untuk menentukan validitas. Data studi kasus proses bubut dan permesinan bubut digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Dari penelitian ini, diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa metode Taguchi untuk optimasi dengan pengambilan data tunggal adalah valid.
