Authors: Kim Hyojung , Oh Saenae
Published: September 2022

In this study, we analyzed the metaverse reuse intention of college students. We introduced the “Zepeto” metaverse platform in liberal arts computer classes at a four-year university. In this study, the technology acceptance model was used as a theoretical background, and self-efficacy, perceived pleasure, and information quality were used as research variables. This study's independent variables are self-efficacy, perceived pleasure, information quality, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use. The study identified the intention of college students to use the metaverse as a survey method. As a result of the study, we found that self-efficacy had a significant effect on university liberal arts computer ease of instruction. Also, metaverse reuse intention along with perceived ease of use, and the relationship between perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, had a positive effect. We found that perceived play had a positive effect on perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and metaverse intention. Information quality had a significant effect on perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and intention to reuse the metaverse. When self-efficacy, perceived pleasure, and information quality were viewed as independent variables, and metaverse reuse intention was viewed as a dependent variable, there was a mediating effect between perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use.
Comparison of Academic Achievement Between Classroom Learning and Untact Online Learning－Focusing on the Inference and Argumentation classes at University B
Authors: Ha Youngmi
Published: September 2022

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, education has been severely impacted, and this impact will have repercussions that go beyond our survival as a society. In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, most schools and colleges in Korea changed their teaching methods from live classes to “untact”, online classes. Even though there was a degree of distrust regarding the educational effectiveness and learning efficacy of online learning, The COVID-19 pandemic did not give us a choice. However, at this point in the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, most professors and students have adapted to online learning and are still looking for various ways to increase learning effectiveness. Moreover, even after the COVID-19 pandemic is over, online learning is highly likely to become a substitute for traditional classroom learning, or at the very least, it will run concurrently with traditional classes. Either way, in order for online learning to continue, the actual learning effect of these sorts of classes must be confirmed.
As a result of the operation of the “Inference and Argumentation” class, contrary to concerns, research from 2021 showed that online learning can have as much of a learning effect for students as classroom learning. However, this judgment was based on the questionnaires of the learners and the qualitative feelings of the professor. But in order to clearly show that untact learning can have as much of an effect as classroom learning, it is necessary to compare the learning results of classroom learning with those of untact learning. That is the focus of this study. In order to secure the reliability of the data, the same conditions were maintained as much as possible, except for the difference in class operation according to untact learning and classroom learning. As a result of this study, we will come to see whether untact learning has the same learning effect for students as classroom learning.
A Study on the Effects of a Supporting Program for Low Achieving Students at University－Centered on Learning-men in K University
Authors: Shin Mi Jung , Song Myung Jin
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this study is to suggest the operating case of “Learning-men” as a supporting program for low achieving students of K University in order to objectively verify the effects on both the students’ learning achievement and their core competencies, as well as to provide key implications for the effective operation of a non-subject, educational program for score improvement.
Learning-men promotes learning motivation and student success by providing scholarships to excellent students depending on the degree of their academic improvement and by conducting three-step programs for high-risk learners who are likely to accumulate academic warnings due to their repeated low academic achievement.
This study analyzed the average change in grade average (GPA) and core competencies before and after the students participated in the program by applying a mixed research method using data from a total of 342 Learning-men students, and from interviews based on 10 academic warnings, academic continuity factors, and program participation effects.
Looking at the results of the study, first, both the underachieving students and the self-participating students enrolled in the program who had an academic achievement of (t=-13.376, p<.001) and core competencies of (t=-17.867~-21.305, p<.001) improved significantly. Second, 39 out of 45 students who were placed on academic probation (86.7%) improved their grades and were released from their probation. Third, through analyzing the qualitative data, we found that the reason why these students received academic probation was due to university environmental and internal factors, and that their motivation to participate in the program was based on external and internal factors. Nevertheless, their motivation to learn in this program, their academic self-efficacy, and their self-directed learning ability improved.
These research results verified that participation in the low academic achievement Support Program can be used as a tool to strengthen college students' academic competencies and core competencies. Based on the results of this study, various systematic operation and effectiveness verification methods for a low academic achievement Support Program were discussed.
A Case Study on the Development and Utilization of the Shared Index for the Optimization of Liberal Arts Curriculum at College
Authors: Eo Seong-Min , Shin Chol-Kyun , Kim Sung-Mok
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this study is to clarify a concept of the shared index developed by University A to optimize the liberal arts curriculum in colleges. The development of the ‘shared index’ is originated from the recognition of the issue of how to apply basic liberal arts subjects of a major. A researcher embodied the concept of the shared index by referring to previous studies dealing with the problem of curriculum optimization, and then calculated the shared index of subjects organized as liberal arts curriculum in colleges. The shared index is calculated as a combination of ‘shared level’, which shows how commonly certain subjects are organized in the curriculum by various departments and divisions, and the ‘probability of students’ selection’, which indicates the probability of students taking certain courses. As a result of calculating the change in the shared index before and after reorganization of the liberal arts curriculum, the shared index of liberal arts subjects on the basic nature of a major rose by 0.07. This study presents quantitative indicators that can be taken in account, in addition to the content characteristics of courses in the liberal arts area regarding the basic nature of a major.
A Study on the Development of Convergence Liberal Arts Subject Based on Ecological Literature
Authors: Son Mindal
Published: September 2022

Ecological literature fundamentally has a convergence nature in that it combines “ecology” and “literature.” Its significance has been highlighted anew in the recent COVID-19 pandemic situation. This study aims to analyze liberal arts subjects related to ecological education and examine their achievements and limitations, thus proposing a new convergence liberal arts subject.
For these purposes, the investigator analyzed “The Environment and Humanities” at S University and “A Future Environment and Risk Society” at D University. Both the subjects have huge significance in that they are designed to be integrated with various academic areas for study. “The Environment and Humanities” leaves room for improvement as it may not help students themselves integrate each content piece fully organically. “A Future Environment and Risk Society” has concerns with the possibility that the success and failure of its lecture can be determined by the abilities and levels of subject developers.
The study proposed a tentative subject “Ecological Crises in Ecological Literature” to solve these problems. In the former part, it covers sequentially seven topics related to an ecological crisis including water quality, atmosphere, soil, nuclear weapons, criticism of civilization, apocalyptic future, and life. In the latter part, it selects a work related to one of the seven topics for each team, analyzes its content, and proposes ways to overcome an ecological crisis in it. The lectures in Week O, for instance, will help students cultivate their natural science knowledge and recognize the reality of water contamination via various media based on Lee Hyeong-gi's BOD PPM and then provide discussion and debate activities to analyze Bhêchadjaguru Shall Not Come by Choi Seong-gak and find fundamental alternatives. Such activities are expected to help students develop their ecological sensibility and embody ecological ethics.

Resumo: Trata-se de um trabalho temático que através da revisão da bibliografia e videografia da disciplina de graduação “Movimentos sociais e Questão social”, propomos estimular a produção sobre o objeto de estudo, de forma articulada aos princípios e valores ético-políticos do Serviço Social em sua política de formação, afirmando a importância de aprofundar o papel profissional na formação da consciência de classe, no contexto de radicalização da ordem do capital. Nesse sentido, fundamentando-se na teoria marxista, o artigo aborda a relação entre questão social e movimentos sociais, destacando nela as lutas sociais como o meio pelo qual a classe trabalhadora reage contra a produção e reprodução ampliada das desigualdades sociais inerentes ao capitalismo, bem como, o processo de tomada de consciência “em si” e “para si” da classe trabalhadora. Partindo dessa discussão, entendemos que as categorias totalidade e cotidiano são fundamentais para a análise do método que deve compreender a organização política da classe trabalhadora. Além disso, defendemos a efetiva articulação entre Serviço Social e movimentos sociais como parte integrante de sua formação profissional. Por fim, examinamos o recrudescimento da agenda neoliberal no Brasil e apontamos saídas para a classe trabalhadora resistir ao quadro de barbárie instaurado.
O SERVIÇO SOCIAL NO CONTEXTO DA DITADURA
Authors: Martins Soares Alves Déborah , De Fátima Silva Lopes Noêmia
Published: September 2022

Este artigo possui como objetivo analisar o processo de renovação do Serviço Social brasileiro no período em que o país vivenciou o regime de ditadura militar. O estudo é fruto da pesquisa bibliográfica, construída com base na perspectiva histórico-dialética e a partir de uma análise marxista. Deste modo verifica-se a erosão do Serviço Social tradicional e como esse contexto se deu em meio às conturbações do período autocrático burguês. Apesar da origem da profissão possuir cunho assistencialista, filantrópico, direcionado à execução de ações, sem que houvesse um processo de construção de mediações, ocorreram mudanças importantes na década de 1960, as quais provocaram transformações no Serviço Social tradicional. A renovação permitiu que a profissão passasse a se posicionar de forma mais propositiva diante da realidade social. Contudo, apenas em sua trajetória sócio-histórica é que o Serviço Social adquire uma maior maturidade e um posicionamento crítico. Todavia, o Serviço Social que atualmente possui esse direcionamento crítico tem sofrido ameaças constantes, assim como presenciamos atualmente, com a democracia no Estado brasileiro, para não dizer em várias partes do mundo. Desse modo, imensuráveis são os desafios, que reforçam a necessidade de estudos e debates permanentes acerca do tema. Na cena contemporânea e adversa, urge a necessidade de avançarmos nessa direção crítica, tanto aprofundando os nossos argumentos teóricos quanto qualificando a nossa intervenção e posicionamento ético político frente a realidade social complexa.
CONTRARREFORMA PREVIDENCIÁRIA
Authors: Da Nóbrega Medeiros Nathalie
Published: September 2022

Resumo: As ações revisionais nos benefícios por incapacidade iniciadas no âmbito das contrarreformas da previdência, tem como fundamento para sua realização a necessidade de apuração de supostas fraudes no recebimento dos valores pagos ao segurado pelo INSS. Entretanto, a justificava pautada em questões de ajuste fiscal demonstram a tendência regressiva dos direitos sociais face a priorização de critérios econômicos pela agenda política neoliberal. Objetivo: Em virtude disso, o presente artigo tem como objetivo averiguar a eficiência das referidas ações, e suas possíveis consequências para o segurado trabalhador, tendo em vista a ocorrência de supressão de direitos por parte do Estado. Metodologia: Nesse delinear, utiliza-se o método histórico e argumentativo, realizando uma pesquisa documental e revisão bibliográfica. Resultados: Com esta pesquisa pôde-se perceber o aumento no número de suspenção e corte de benefícios no âmbito administrativo tendo como motivo o parecer contrário da perícia médica e por conseguinte o aumento na judicialização destes direitos sociais para seu então restabelecimento. Considerações finais: Concretamente resta evidenciado a intensidade crescente da forma contemporânea do capital expropriar direitos, tendo em vista que no contexto da contrarreforma previdenciária referida ação é implementada como meio para apurar fraudes e, por conseguinte promover a contenção de gastos. Entretanto, na prática ocorre o corte de um número elevado de benefícios com a suspensão do respectivo pagamento, ficando o segurado e o trabalhador em situação de vulnerabilidade, sem o benefício que lhes garantia subsistência e em diversos casos, sem condições de retornar ao mercado de trabalho.

O SESC E A TERCEIRA IDADE
Authors: Castro Peres Marcos Augusto
Published: September 2022

Resumo: Este texto é resultado de uma pesquisa sobre o envolvimento do Serviço Social do Comércio (SESC) com a questão social da velhice no Brasil, especialmente no seu ativismo político e social em prol dos idosos. Como método de investigação, utilizou-se a pesquisa qualitativa, com a realização de entrevistas, análise documental e bibliográfica. A que pese a contribuição do SESC para dar maior visibilidade social à velhice, a entidade é reconhecida como uma das principais organizações representativas dos idosos no Brasil, atuando ativamente no lobby político que resultou na criação da Política Nacional do Idoso (em 1994) e do Estatuto do Idoso (em 2003). Porém, quando analisadas sociologicamente, as ações do SESC perdem a aura das boas intenções assistenciais e são realocadas no processo neoliberal de reinvenção e mercantilização da velhice, conhecido como terceira idade. Na qualidade de organização social, o SESC tutela a população idosa com fins políticos e corporativos, de olho num contingente populacional que cresce rapidamente.

Authors: Mulyanto Mulyanto , Sujiatmoko Ahmad Heki
Published: September 2022

The current study was aimed to investigate the cultural perspectives on online learning through the flipped learning activity to face the 4.0 industry era in Indonesia. Online learning has been a trend in education as the development of education in the world refers to the current situations due to the development of technology. The important thing needed to be considered is concerned with the strategy of providing the learning time allocation and using technology. The best alternative strategy to support online learning is conducting the flipped learning activity. However, it is not an easy matter since some cultural aspects in Indonesia can be great obstacles. That's why it is crucial to recognize the problems and find the solutions referring to the existing cultural dimensions. The results revealed that the way how the learners studied English through the online learning activities was mostly influenced by the cultural dimensions such as getting passive in the class, focusing on getting good grades, expecting the teachers’ dominations in the class, and getting fond of being given playful learning activities. Regarding this, some solutive efforts were also done by the teachers in the form of flipped learning activities leading the acts of building the classroom interactions through questioning and giving various tasks targetting to improve the generic capabilities. Hence, it is recommended that both the EFL teachers and learners can overcome the problems related to the existence and influence of the cultural dimensions by implementing the flipped learning activities to support the online learning activities conducted for reaching better academic achievements through the developments of their generic capabilities to face the 4.0 industry era.
Things Go Better With Cola? Not For Teeth
Authors: Zalman Louis
Published: September 2022

Pop-drinks are promoted aggressively for consumption and profits. Most are mixtures of
phosphoric acid with (CO2) gas, sugars and flavorings. Sugar-free drinks remain acid even
when flavored by synthetic sweeteners. Most have acidities (pH below 5.5) which decalcify
teeth, after ingestion. Pop-drinks cause erosion decalcification without bacterial action. Caries starts as decalcification with consequent cavitation by bacterial invasion. Saliva neutralizes dietary acids within 30 minutes. Repeated sips of colas keep mouth and oral biofilm acidity low and long enough to start decalcification. Evidence of decalcification from pop-drinks are exiguous; this appraisal cites research that implicates pop-drinks, specifically colas and guarana, in causing decalcification and by extrapolation, also consequent dental erosion and tooth decay.

Authors: Batool Uswah , Afsar Rehan , Ali Abid , Jameel Maryam
Published: September 2022

Background: Knee arthritis is one of the most prevalent orthopedic conditions that affect people of all ages and genders. The changes in height of the medial longitudinal arch is one of the causes of knee arthritis. There is evidence that knee arthritis may be caused by flat feet. However, there isn't enough proof to support the link between knee OA and cavus foot.

Objectives: The major goal of this study is to explain the association between foot arch height and knee arthritis. The other objective is to find the incidence of pes planus and pes cavus in people who have knee arthritis.

 Methodology: 76 individuals of middle age who had knee arthritis were included, excluded people with any surgery or fracture of the lower extremity. Footprints were taken through inkpads for measurement of the medial longitudinal arch. The feet are classified into three types on the basis of the Staheli arch index. Data on knee and foot arthritis were collected through X-Ray, proforma, and footprints. Data were analyzed by SPSS. Descriptive Analysis Cross tabulation was used to assess the association between knee arthritis and foot arches.

Results: The findings of this study suggest an insignificant link between foot arch height and knee arthritis. Pes rectus was present in 56.6 percent of knee OA patients. Comparing pes planus and pes cavus, pes cavus was more common than pes planus among participants. Regardless of the height of the foot arch, the majority (57.9%) had Grade 3 knee arthritis.

Conclusions: It was concluded that arch height had little to no effect on age-related knee OA. Regardless of arch height, knee arthritis was quite common in females aged 41 to 50. The majority of patients had both knees affected by OA. Patients with knee arthritis were shown to have more pes cavus than pes planus in terms of foot type but that percentage was still less than normal foot type.

Authors: Hasan Atika , Ahmad Naeem Muhammad , Ali Abid , Arshad Nosheen , Naqi Abbas Syed , Mumtaz Hassan
Published: September 2022

Introduction: A congenital abnormality is referred to as a congenital illness or deformity. In the first four weeks of life, 276,000 newborns die from congenital impairments, giving birth to a total of around 3 million fetuses and babies; these fetuses and infants are affected by abdominal fetal deformities. Each demographic has a different prevalence of birth defects.

Using standard ultrasonography, we set out to find out how often it is to see congenital fetal abdominal abnormalities in Gujrat District of Pakistan.

Methods: From January 2022 to June 2022, researchers will conduct cross-sectional study at the Azeem Diagnostic Center Gujrat. 397 This research included pregnant women in the first, second, and third trimesters. Statistical analysis of prenatal ultrasound findings was carried out via the use of a structured questionnaire. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant when using the Chi-square test to look for a relationship. Odds Ratio was used to calculate illness risk.

Results: Twenty separate pregnant women who had ultrasounds had fetal congenital impairments discovered. Patients with Atresia or Renal Agenesis are nine times more likely to have an Omphalocele than those without (odds ratio = 0.994, 95 percent confidence range = 0.986-1.002).

Conclusion: It is a noninvasive imaging technique that is incredibly sensitive and accurate while also being quite affordable in the hands of a skilled professional. At least during the second trimester, obstetricians should encourage their patients to get regular ultrasounds.

Credit Creation and Financial Stability of Banks: Evidence in Nigeria
Authors:   Department of Banking and Finance, Federal Polytechnics Ekowe, Bayelsa State, Nigeria
Published: September 2022

The study examined how bank credit creation affects financial stability in Nigeria from 1981 to 2020. We obtained the data for the study from the Central Bank of Nigeria and World Bank statistical bulletins. Our research looked specifically at how credit creation to the agricultural (LnCCAS), manufacturing (LnCCMS), transport and communication (LnCCTC), and mining and quarrying (LnCCMQ) sectors affects financial stability (FS) of banks in Nigeria. We used descriptive statistics, unit root, Johansen co-integration, VECM, and Granger Causality techniques at the 5% level to investigate this. The unit root demonstrates that all variables were stationary at first differences, requiring the Johansen co-integration, which reveals the presence of long-run form. The VEC model reveals that LnCCAS and LnCCMS are positive and significant; LnCCMQ is negative and insignificant; while LnCCTC is positive but insignificant to FS in Nigeria. For the Granger causality, there is no directional relationship between each of LnCCMS, LnCCMQ, LnCCTC, and LnCCAS to FS. We conclude that credit creation by banks affects their financial stability in Nigeria. On recommendation, we advocated for the continuous provision of credit to the manufacturing and agricultural sectors of the economy, as these sectors significantly promote financial stability. Furthermore, banks should prioritise the economy's transportation and communication sectors because they have the potential to stimulate financial stability among Nigerian banks. As a result, banks should limit the amount of credit available to the mining and quarrying sectors of the economy.

Published: September 2022

A child’s entire life is determined by giving what kind of food during first five years of life. Since childhood is vulnerable phase in the life of human being, nutritional inadequacies will result in the hampering of the development of the body. Future of the country is determined by the growing generation of the country. In India health hazards associated with under nutrition and micronutrients deficiencies remain major health problems. The past three decades have witnessed the emergence of over nutrition as a problem in school age children in developed countries. In developed countries the consumption of high calories food and the increasingly sedentary life style have been implicated as the major factors responsible for the rising obesity rates. The present study reveals that there is a mild correlation between knowledge and practice scores (r =0.06), practice and attitude correlation value is (r =0.042), correlation between knowledge and attitude is (r =0.0061). The findings will reveal the correlation between knowledge, attitude and practice of preschool children’s mothers regarding Dietary Habits in relation to Prevention of Malnutrition.

Introduction: Dental caries and periodontal diseases are among the most important global oral health problems. In Ayurveda, Katu, Tikta and Kashaya Rasas are described for Dantadhawana. Most of the products available in the market are sweet in taste which favor the growth bacteria in of oral cavity whereas the Rasas mentioned in Ayurveda are supposed to suppress the growth of bacterial activity and resulting adverse effects on gums and teeth, thus the proposed formulation (Triphala, Madhu) is supposed to promote oral hygiene and restrict chances of gum and teeth disorders. Materials and methods: The role of Triphala churna with Madhu for Dantadhavana in healthy individuals was assessed. Results: The drug Triphla churna and Madhu plays a significant role in management of dental diseases as well as in maintaining healthy oral hygiene.

Agad tantrais the branch of Ayurveda which deals with poison and its management. There is no such difference between poison and addiction. Poison and addiction both are hazardous for health. The substance causing Madaproduces disturbances of intellect faculty by its virtue of tamo gunascalled madya. The properties of madyais all most equal to visha.Improper, excess intake of madya can be hazardous to health and may result in death while proper dosagegives health and pleasure. Action of drug depends upon various factors like its matra(dose), avacharana(mode of administration) etc.so, it is important to know the properties of substance that will decide how it going to affects the body. so, here is an effort made to see the detail of ayurvedic concepts of Madya.
Are we moving towards a managerial model of e-governance? building a case for citizen centric e-participation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
Authors: Aman Shagufta , Jan Muhammad Ayub
Published: September 2022

Exploring the various information and communication technology measures adopted by the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to ensure ‘good and effective governance’ of the province, this paper aims to understand how far such e-governance initiatives endorse citizen’s participation in governance and what limitations are problematizing the quest for citizen engagement through such measures. The paper primarily explores and examines the service provider’s perspective through in-depth interviews with officials from KP Government’s IT focused departments. Applying the theoretical framework developed by Chadwick and May (2003), the paper argues that the KP government’s more than 140 plus IT based applications are mostly electronic versions of paper-based information posted on the websites, which makes it an information dissemination system rather than a fully interactive technology. There is little comprehension about ‘citizen engagement’ through e-government initiatives among bureaucrats and e-governance is largely seen as a one-sided provision of official information; citizen access to government services; or their access to the online complaint mechanisms. Officials also recognize that shortfall of essential infrastructure; public awareness deficits; accessibility issues; a lack of public trust in online service delivery mechanisms, and doubts over timely official response; all confound meaningful citizen participation in governance through the ICTs.

Estudo da mecânica da fratura associada à alterabilidade em rochas básicas intrusivas do Quadrilátero Ferrífero - MG
Authors:   , Marcellino Lázaro Corrêa
Published: September 2022

Este trabalho apresenta uma série de resultados dos estudos sobre as rochas metadiabásicas da Mina Tamanduá, localizada no Quadrilátero Ferrífero, MG. As amostras de metadiabásio coletadas em furos de sondagem foram submetidas a teste de resistência de tenacidade à fratura através do ensaio Cracked Chevron Notched Brazilian Disc (CCNBD) porém antes de executar os ensaios de tenacidade, as amostras foram submetidas a 20, 50, 85 e 105 ciclos de ciclagem água-estufa afim de avaliar o comportamento da fratura em diversos estágios de alterabilidade e submetidas em ângulos de 0º, 23º, 45º, 90, para avaliar o efeito da carga com relação ao ângulo do notch ensaiado. Outras propriedades do metadiabásio também foram obtidas para se avaliar o comportamento mecânico da mesma. Portanto fez ensaio de índices Físicos, análise petrográficas, point load test (PLT), martelo de Schmidt, compressão uniaxial e velocidades de propagação de ondas. A porosidade apresentou um aumento de até 5% do seu valor inicial em algumas amostras e a massa específica apresentou uma diminuição de até 2%. Os valores de propagação de onda apresentaram um valor médio de 4270m/s e foram comparados com os valores encontrados na literatura. Os valores de dureza médio (R med ) obtidos por meio do ensaio do Martelo de Schmidt, indicaram uma variação grande nos resultados, configurando grande anisotropia na rocha. Os resultados de compressão uniaxial indicaram valor máximo de compressão simples de 55,84 MPa para o metadiabásio e de 96,15 GPa para o módulo de elasticidade. Os ensaios CCNBD realizados para os referidos ciclos de água-estufa em diferentes ângulos indicaram uma diminuição no valor de tenacidade (K C ) médio para cada intervalo de ciclagem, sendo os menores valores obtidos no ciclo 105. Aplicando a técnica CID pode-se determinar na face das amostras as zonas que apresentaram maiores valores de deformação e consequentemente delimitar a zona do processo de faturamento. Também foi possível observar os desvios angulares gerados pela angulação do notch. Por fim, pode-se obter o valor da variação da liberação da energia de deformação (Gc) durante o processo de faturamento para cada ciclo água-estufa e para cada ângulo de ensaio.
