A Study on the Content of Reading Education to Identify and Reconstruct Perspectives
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Kim Young a , Kil Hohyun
Published: October 2024

This study aims to present educational content for teaching perspective reading and reconstruction, grounded in the concept of perspective and its key elements. Perspectives can be categorized into three types: subject, directional, and attitudi nal. An analysis of the curriculum and textbooks revealed that perspective-related activities include grasping the perspective itself, evaluating its appropriateness, exploring alternatives, reasoning, and evaluating and reconstructing the validity of arguments. However, the concept of perspective is not explicitly defined, and no specific method for reconstructing perspectives is provided. To address this issue, it is essential to educate students on how to read and analyze perspectives presented in text. This requires understanding the meaning and structure of different perspec tives in order to interpret them, as well as the ability to identify perspectives in articles or other materials. In addition, to help students reconstruct perspectives, education should focus on evaluating the validity of perspectives, synthesizing multiple perspectives, and ultimately reconstructing these into a coherent personal perspective.

Published: October 2024

Numerous studies have revealed that Malaysian students are developing spiritually and intellectually every year. Mental health illnesses may endanger students' wellbeing and academic progress. Students with mental health illnesses may find it difficult to handle a task or communicate with others due to their inability to control their emotions and lack of desire, which may have an effect on their ability to study. The key to personal behaviour, zeal, and reinforcement for exceptional academic success is motivation. In light of technological improvements, particularly Augmented Reality Board Games (ARBG), a learning tool that can be connected to cell phones has been developed in order to increase motivation. It was found that there is still little research on motivation, particularly when Quranic verses are used in augmented reality. The research method was carried out using a quantitative approach. This study investigates users' approval of employing Qur'anic verses to boost motivation, notably in ARBG technology. It looks at works that were published in six journals over the relevant five-year span (2019-2023). Users acknowledged the Quran's inspirational passages, on the results of the survey, which was carried out as part of the research approach used in this study, which used descriptive statistics of user perception. Students at Malaysia's Sultan Zainal Abidin University (UniSZA) made up the study's subjects (n=100). The survey results show that adding motivational translations of Quranic verses to ARBGs is consistently and favourably viewed by users as having an impact. The study not only produces remarkable findings, but it also paves the way for further investigation into the use of Al-Quran verses and ARBGs.

Authors: Mohd Saudi Madihah , Nusairat Tamara , Ahmad Azuan , Setiyo Muji
Published: October 2024

Presently, our digital landscape faces a pervasive onslaught of diverse cyber threats, encompassing distributed denial of service (DDoS), phishing, ransomware, and smishing, all orchestrated with malicious intent. Counteracting these malicious incursions poses a formidable challenge, particularly in devising efficacious detection solutions. Ransomware incidents are on the ascent, particularly within critical sectors such as healthcare, finance, and telecommunications. Consequently, this paper introduces a proof of concept (POC) aimed at detecting ransomware activities targeting Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices. The primary objective of this paper revolves around the identification and evaluation of factors correlating with ransomware attacks on IoMT and then developing a ransomware detector. The experimental framework involves the utilization of a simulated environment mirroring real-world IoMT devices and networks. The methodology integrates diverse approaches, encompassing data collection from IoMT devices, analysis of ransomware behaviour through the study of encryption patterns, and anomaly detection. The POC assesses the efficacy of these methodologies in detecting and responding to ransomware threats, with the experimentation conducted through hybrid analysis within a controlled laboratory setting. The dataset consists of 13 families with a total malware of 9251 taken from GitHub. For POC, a total of 3459 ransomware dataset samples have been selected. As a result of the experiment, thirteen (13) distinct features have been identified as trigger factors for ransomware attacks. These features are obtained by capturing of the processes initiated by the ransomware samples using a process monitor (procmon). A temporal pattern of the processes which include the file system, API, and access based on their frequency of occurrence were used to develop a ransomware detection model. The proposed approach achieved an accuracy of 99.2% and an error rate of 0.8 %, when evaluated on temporal pattern dataset and by using an enhanced artificial neural network (EANN).

Authors: Selvan Hari Krishnan Tamil , Abdol Rahman Mohd Nasrull , Ping Yeap Loh
Published: October 2024

The observational method remains the most widely utilized for assessing the risk factor of Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) as it is inexpensive, quick and practical in field data collection. However, there is some limitation with the current risk assessment on Pushing and Pulling (PP), such as the need to use expensive force measuring equipment, limited coverage of critical variables for assessing the risk and psychometric properties for the method, which is not adequately established. This study aims to develop a new method for assessing the PP of wheeled equipment called the PUSHPULL method and establish the reliability and validity of the PUSHPULL method. Two stages are involved in developing the PUSHPULL method: i) development of PUSHPULL specification and ii) psychometric properties evaluation. Selection of variables for inclusion in the PUSHPULL method employed three strategies: i) literature review, ii) expert panel review, and iii) survey among Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) practitioners. Current assessment methods were also reviewed to assist in assigning rating scores. Psychometric properties evaluation was performed for content validity (representative, relevance and clarity) and inter and intra-rater reliability testing. Consequently, content validity was performed by six experts. The results of content validity (S-CVI/Ave) were discovered to be in the acceptable range of 0.97, 0.98 and 0.82, respectively, for representativeness, relevance and clarity. Based on the inputs from the expert panel, improvements were made, and prototype 2 was generated. Prototype 2 underwent reliability testing, and Gwet AC1 was discovered to be 0.596 (moderate) and 0.77 (good), respectively, for inter and intra-rater reliability. The PUSHPULL method was developed based on empirical data from a literature review, expert panel review and inputs from OSH practitioners. The method covers all the significant variables related to the risk of PP. Moreover, the reliability and validity of the PUSHPULL method were clarified during the development stage. The tool can determine the risk level and prioritize the intervention.

Published: October 2024

Mathematics frequently involves abstract concepts and symbols, presenting a challenge for certain students who may need help to retain these concepts. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of manipulating real objects in enhancing retention among grade 7 students struggling with concepts of angles during S.Y. 2023–2024 in a public institution in the city of Ozamiz. This study used a classroom-based action research design with 31 students as participants using purposive sampling. Research-made test questionnaires and interview guide questions were used to gather data. The data was interpreted using statistical tools, mean, standard deviation, and t-test, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Thus, the following were the study's key findings: the students' retention level of the concepts of angles before manipulating real objects did not meet expectations; the students' retention level of the concepts of angles after manipulating real objects was very satisfactory; there was a significant difference in the students' retention level of the concepts of angles before and after manipulating real objects; and other developments observed among the students after manipulating real objects involved increased student engagement, mastery of angles, and real-life application. Integrating manipulatives into mathematics instruction can significantly enhance students' retention of angle concepts. Teachers may incorporate the use of manipulatives and real objects in the teaching of angles to provide students with tangible and interactive experiences.

Published: October 2024

Diastema, or the presence of a gap between teeth, is a common dental issue that can affect both aesthetics and function. Traditional methods of diastema closure include orthodontic treatments and direct bonding, but these approaches can be time-consuming and invasive. This case report explores the use of dental veneers fabricated through a digital workflow to close a diastema effectively and efficiently. A 25-year-old patient presented with a prominent diastema between the maxillary central incisors. After a comprehensive evaluation, a treatment plan involving porcelain veneers was proposed. The digital workflow began with an intraoral scan to create a precise 3D model of the patient's dentition. Using computer-aided design (CAD) software, the veneers were meticulously designed to ensure optimal fit and aesthetics. The designs were then sent to a milling machine, which fabricated the veneers from high-quality porcelain. The preparation of the teeth was minimal, preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. The veneers were bonded using a resin cement, providing a seamless integration with the natural teeth. Post- procedure, the patient reported high satisfaction with both the aesthetic and functional outcomes. The digital workflow not only reduced the overall treatment time but also increased precision and predictability. This case highlights the advantages of using digital technology in dental treatments, particularly for cosmetic enhancements such as diastema closure. The integration of digital impressions, CAD software, and precision milling can lead to superior outcomes with less invasiveness and higher patient satisfaction. Further studies are recommended to explore the long-term durability and patient-reported outcomes of digitally fabricated veneers for diastema closure.

Published: October 2024

This paper explores the integration of radioactive decay batteries into the USA's energy grid as a strategic solution for addressing winter power challenges. Radioactive decay batteries, leveraging isotopes such as tritium or americium-241, offer significant advantages over traditional fission and fusion-based nuclear batteries. Their design inherently ensures enhanced durability, providing long-lasting energy outputs that can span several decades with minimal maintenance. Unlike conventional nuclear reactors, these batteries operate safely outside a reactor environment, significantly reducing the risks associated with nuclear power generation. This operational safety is further augmented by the relatively low radiation levels they emit, making them viable for diverse applications, including residential, commercial, and remote off-grid systems. The implementation of these batteries promises a stable and reliable energy supply during winter months when energy demands peak, mitigating the risk of power outages and enhancing the resilience of the energy grid. This study examines the potential deployment strategies, technical feasibility, and regulatory considerations necessary to incorporate radioactive decay batteries effectively into the USA's energy infrastructure, positioning them as a transformative technology for sustainable and reliable winter energy solutions.
De aantrekkingskracht van diverse buurten: sociale sortering en culturele repertoires in de scene(s) van de Brusselse wijken Matonge en Molenbeek
Authors: Weytjens Hannah , Kuipers Giselinde
Published: October 2024

Why are superdiverse cities such as Brussels a patchwork rather than a melting pot? This research investigates how people within the superdiverse, yet segregated Brussels sort themselves based on culture and aesthetics. Taking the diverse neighborhoods of Molenbeek and Matonge as case-studies, we combine insights from urban sociology – the scenes approach of Silver and Clarke – and cultural sociology with Lamont’s concept of cultural repertoires. To do so, we use walkabouts, which allows us to capture the lived experience and meaning making process of urban residents, while, at the same time, both the researcher and respondent can experience the neighborhoods in a sensory way. A geographical overview illustrates that certain amenities are clustered while the interviews show that different groups use different cultural repertoires, and thus attain different meanings to geographical characteristics. In line with previous research, we find a scene of Brussels-Flemish urban diversity-lovers in both neighborhoods. Besides, we can also speak of ethnic minority scenes in Molenbeek and Matonge, respectively a North-African or little-Morocco scene and African-Matonge scene. Hence, cultural and aesthetic elements also influence the presence of ethnic minority groups.

Published: October 2024

In het begin van de 21ste eeuw is het standaardtewerkstellingsmodel niet langer de enige vorm om arbeid te organiseren, maar is er een enorme verscheidenheid aan tewerkstellingsarrangementen voor zowel werknemers als = zelfstandigen. Het is echter onduidelijk welke gezondheidsimplicaties die tewerkstellingsarrangementen hebben. In dit artikel stellen we daarom een multidimensionale benadering van tewerkstellingskwaliteit voor als gezondheidsdeterminant. We voerden twee latente klassenanalyses uit om typologieën van tewerkstellingskwaliteit aan te maken (gebruikmakend van de European Working Conditions Survey). Eén voor werknemers en één voor zelfstandigen. Die twee typologieën werden vervolgens samengevoegd in één indicator. Tien typen van tewerkstelling werden onthuld: standaard, instrumentele, onhoudbare precaire, precaire intensieve en portfoliojobs – onder de werknemers; en afhankelijk zelfstandig werk, klein tot middelgrote werkgevers,onzeker zelfstandig werk, stabiel solo zelfstandig werk, en intensief zelfstandig werk – onder de zelfstandigen. Door middel van een multidimensionale benadering en door zowel de tewerkstellingskwaliteit van werknemers als zelfstandigen inrekening te nemen, gaan we verder dan een eenvoudig onderscheid tussen werknemers en zelfstandigen. Met behulp van logistische regressieanalyse vonden we vervolgens sterke associaties tussen de typologie van tewerkstellingskwaliteit en gezondheidsuitkomsten.

Diverse actors within and outside the academic system increasingly call upon scientists to engage with the public through science communication as part of their academic work. This raises the question of how these actors' demands can and should be met in practice. At the conference on “Perspectives on science communication”, which took place on 27 May 2024, at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, interested scientists and communicators from the Leibniz Association came together to reflect on the strategic development of the field of science communication. The focus was on the exchange of realistic goals, important actions and the actors responsible for the further development of the field and practice of science communication. These three topics were discussed in the context of a keynote speech and a panel discussion, as well as with regard to specific forms of interaction between science and society, including informative, dialogic and participatory formats of science communication. The discussions reveal a diversity of goals scientists can aim for, but also a multitude of action areas that need to be addressed by a number of actors to achieve these goals. Goals particularly hinted at an increasing, yet-to-be-defined quantity of communication, including contents related to informing about facts in societal debates, engaging in democratic dialogue and encouraging participation of citizens in research to increase innovation in science, but also process-related goals such as building partnerships, communicating transparently or providing support for scientists. Action areas to achieve these goals are diverse and regard strengthening recognition and reputation, supporting and protecting scientists, providing temporal and financial resources for science communication and changing researcher’s attitudes. In terms of actors, conference participants hinted at the diverse roles of different actors, focusing the discussion on actors in academia, politics and administration, civil society as well as boundary organisations such as the media as key actors to further advance the topic of science communication. This conference report elaborates the results related to these three topics and, thus, creates the basis for an in-depth discussion of the results in Germany and internationally.

Published: October 2024

Despite the extensive discussion on the benefits of BDA in supply chains, there remains a lack of systematic understanding of how BDA can be effectively linked to Supply Chain Optimization (SCO). This document explores the cumulative published literature from 2014 and 2024, so as to ascertain the impact of big data analytics on supply chain optimization. 64 articles were selected from diverse academic journals, and from these articles, information was gathered, analyzed, and organized. The results shows that Big data is often used for making predictions in SCO; big data analytics has a lot of difficulties dealing with large amounts of data related to managing the supply chain, which include too much data, problems with data quality, keeping data safe and private, difficulty in analyzing data, ability to grow as needed, and complicated supply chains. The study recommends that big data projects should begin with specific goals instead of just hoping people will use them. Starting with small test projects can help show the benefits of big data analytics.
