MASTERY-HUMILITY MODEL: FROM CONVERGENCE TO INTEGRATION
Authors: Hassan Ruslan B.
Published: December 2024

The perpetuation of dualism has permeated the field of engineering
education, resulting in professional outputs not synchronised with
personal life. The absence of a spiritual value system persists in the
curriculum, which relies on pragmatism, positivism, constructivism,
and relativism. This highlights the pressing need for the integration
of spiritual values. This two-step process develops a convergent
mastery-humility model using a sequential exploratory design
approach. The construct validity, a key aspect of this research,
achieved CFI .963≥. 95, TLI .956> .90 and RMSEA .068 < .08,
validating the model's reliability. Upon verifying the measurement
model, SEM then confirmed the theoretical proposition that mastery
and humility form the converging variable. The converging platform
is at the state of Al-Adl, the correct position of knowledge is mastery
where all things should be, and for man, the proper position is in the
‘sujud’ position, as ‘Abd’. The Islamisation of Knowledge (IOK)
takes place when any theoretical development, derivations of
formulation, and application is based on the governing concept of
Bil-Mizan (balance, equilibrium, justice) towards the state of Al-Adl
and then Al-Khaliq. The next step involves this cognisance of
meaning. The latter concerns the meaning of our existence with the
humility of an Abd who must respect the truth. Hence, cognisance is
required to seek the truth and differentiate between the Creator and
the created. Thus, integration occurs at the same phase, though, in
cognitive and affective domains. In conclusion, for this two-part
process, the IOK is given a more defined form preceding the
integration in the thought process, invigorating the spiritual
dimension in the engineering curriculum.
THE DISCOURSE OF RENEWAL: ASSESSING FAZLUR RAHMAN’S HERMENEUTICS AND ITS CONTEMPORARY RELEVANCE
Authors: Arman Arief S.
Published: December 2024

Central to any thriving society are questions of ethics and law, and
how (and if) these questions are met with appropriate responses.
Such thoughts will necessarily lead to a deliberation of whether
ethics and law are divinely ordained, or if we, as human beings with
the capacity to think and to conceptualise, are its sole creators.
Fazlur Rahman, an Islamic reformist thinker, has called for the gates
of ijtihād (independent reasoning) to be opened again. The context
for this opening is a response to the rigidity of interpretations made
by jurists (both traditional and contemporary, primarily of the Sunni
orthodoxy2; deemed to represent the ‘original’ Islam), on matters of
Sharī’a; generally believed to be Divine Law. The purposes of this
chapter are varied. We do not intend to agree nor disagree with
Rahman’s interpretative propositions, but to (i) provide a brief
context of his argument for reform as well as the theological
underpinnings which guide it. Next, and in order to develop a
preliminary understanding of Rahman’s hermeneutics, (ii) we shall
engage with his ‘Double-Movement Theory’, as well as its possible
advantages and pitfalls. A brief comparison with Hans-Georg
Gadamer’s phenomenologically influenced hermeneutics is made
here. It is our belief that Rahman did not mind if one agrees with him
or not; for what is of utmost importance is a ‘rediscovery’ of Islam
and its inherent beauty and order, which is definitely not a
perpetuation of intellectual sterility.

PRACTICAL ASPECT OF THE ORGANIZATION OF GROUP METHODS OF WORK IN THE LESSONS OF THE INTEGRATED COURSE «I EXPLORE THE WORLD» AS A MEANS OF INCREASE COGNITIVE ACTIVITY OF LEARNER
Authors: Mankuta Alina
Published: December 2024

This article examines the use of group learning methods in the “I Explore the World” course as a strategic approach to enhancing the cognitive activity of primary school students within the framework of the New Ukrainian School (NUS) educational reform. Emphasizing the value of a student-centered approach, the study addresses the challenges and benefits of fostering active learning and engagement among young students through group-based activities. It identifies key cognitive levels involved in the learning process ‒ reproductive, exploratory, and creative ‒ and discusses how each contributes to the development of essential competencies such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative skills.The article provides a comprehensive overview of theoretical and practical aspects of group learning, including the structure and organization of activities tailored for younger students. It highlights effective strategies for implementing group work, such as role distribution, peer mentoring, collective brainstorming, and reflective discussions, all aimed at encouraging students to become active participants in their own learning. By promoting teamwork, mutual assistance, and peer evaluation, these methods foster a supportive classroom atmosphere that aligns with NUS objectives, facilitating the social and emotional growth of students alongside cognitive development.The findings demonstrate that group learning in primary education not only improves academic performance but also cultivates essential interpersonal skills, instills a sense of responsibility, and prepares students for lifelong learning. The article concludes that group learning methods are an invaluable tool for enhancing both individual and collective learning experiences, contributing to the broader goals of the NUS to create an adaptable and innovative learning environment.

Authors: Alekseieva Natalia
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to issues of the use of aesthetic activities in primary school in the conditions of the New Ukrainian School. The article emphasizes the importance of implementing an integrated approach to teaching and learning.The article highlights the main types of aesthetotherapy, including art therapy, music therapy, drama therapy, bibliotherapy, doll therapy and dance movement therapy. The creative arts therapies (CATs) are often complemented by physical activities and games.Using aesthetotherapy approaches allows you to create a learning environment that stimulates intrinsic motivation, improves creative thinking, and fosters a deeper understanding of the material by combining different art forms. The integration of aesthetic activities into the curriculum fosters the development of creative and emotionally mature personalities. Therefore, the author argues, that an essential component of improving the educational process is teachers’ ability to master and integrate different forms of aesthetotherapy.The author believes that the key task of education is to form students’ holistic worldview, system of knowledge, and integrated mindset in the younger generation. Recommendations for the successful implementation of arts integration strategies in education are provided.The prospects for further research include the analysis of modern educational programs and training plans to identify the effectiveness of forming key competencies in schoolchildren, as well as improving current programs and plans to incorporate innovative aesthetic therapy techniques.
INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO TEACHING THE EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT “OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY IN THE INDUSTRY” FOR HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS
Authors: Suslo Larysa
Published: December 2024

Today, significant changes are taking place that affect all aspects of human life, including security, within the lifetime of one generation. Based on the analysis of the monitoring of scientific and practical discourse, the main prerequisites for the introduction of innovations in teaching security disciplines in higher education institutions are highlighted, which is now an important component of the readiness of a future specialist for professional activity. The use of innovations for the formation of security competence includes cooperation with specialists from various services, meetings with people who have been injured (occupational diseases), showing various video materials from the scene of events, etc.The modern technological environment in which people live is marked by an ever-increasing number of threats to their safety. Accordingly, pedagogical institutions of higher education should address the problem of forming in students such qualities that will make it impossible to prevent the occurrence of dangerous situations, and in case of their occurrence ‒ to minimize the negative impact on others, especially in emergency situations. The combination of these attributes determines the culture of safe human activity.The future specialist must acquire the knowledge necessary to perform their professional duties, as well as become a communicator and a link that contributes to security within the enterprise or organization, regardless of their field of activity.Traditionally, the primary elements that contribute to the state of safety for human life and activity include: a constant increase in the number and scale of hazards of natural origin caused by environmental pollution, which disrupts the ecological balance; an increase in the number of hazards of technogenic origin that arise in production facilities when a person interacts with complex technical equipment; socio-political reasons characterized by an increase in tension in society. Thus, the relevance and importance of studying the educational component “Occupational Safety and Health in Industry” in higher education institutions can hardly be overestimated.
CASE METHOD AS A PEDAGOGICAL TECHNOLOGY IN FORMATION COMPETENCES IN THE TRAINING OF INDUSTRIAL PHARMACY SPECIALISTS
Authors: Omelchenko Pavlo , Burlaka Iryna
Published: December 2024

The article describes the stages of creating case situations, considers examples of cases for the educational component “Physiology with the basics of human anatomy”. Such educational technologies form the professional and life competence of modern youth. The use of case methods in teaching by teachers of higher education institutions is very relevant today, because the study of both anatomy and physiology requires the complex use of both traditional and new interactive forms and innovative technologies. When implementing the case method, not only knowledge is acquired, but also practical professional activity skills and communication skills. Without the wide implementation of interactive educational technologies in the educational process, which ensure the application of theoretical knowledge to the solution of practical tasks, the competence approach in education is impossible. For this purpose, as one of the options, the widespread use of the method of situational learning (case method) is envisaged. This method is the most adequate to the logic of professional thinking and provides advantages for the formation of competencies during the entire period of student education in institutions of higher education. The effectiveness of the case increases if it gradually becomes more difficult in all disciplines involved in the formation of competencies. For this purpose, an interdisciplinary thematic case is formed for each competency from “serial” disciplinary micro-cases.The case method allows students to learn to analyze the situation, use the acquired knowledge, acquire new knowledge while searching for an answer to the case and the ability to correctly formulate and present their thoughts, use interdisciplinary knowledge. We see prospects for further research in the development of other pedagogical technologies that will contribute to the integration of fundamental and professional training of future specialists in industrial pharmacy.

Authors: Alepu Andi , Budi Aulia Teuku , Idris Yunita
Published: December 2024

Beton mutu tinggi memiliki kekuatan tekan yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan beton biasa, menjadikannya pilihan ideal untuk struktur bangunan yang menopang beban besar seperti gedung tinggi, jembatan, dan menara. Namun, kelemahan beton terletak pada sifatnya yang rentan terhadap tarik, dapat menyebabkan retakan mikro yang berpotensi berkembang menjadi retakan makro tanpa terdeteksi. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, muncul inovasi berupa Self-healing concrete (SHC), di mana bakteri seperti solibacillus, bacillus, dan staphylococcus ditambahkan ke dalam campuran beton. Bakteri ini menghasilkan senyawa yang membentuk endapan kalsium karbonat (CaCO3), secara mandiri menutupi retakan mikro melalui metabolismenya. Penelitian ini bertujuan meningkatkan umur beton dan keamanan struktur dengan menambahkan bakteri pada campuran beton. Pengujian menggunakan silinder berukuran diameter 15 cm x tinggi 30 cm dengan retakan awal diberikan setelah 7 hari perendaman dan kekuatan tekan mencapai 30 MPa, sehingga 80% dari kuat tekan beton rencana f’c 50 MPa. Pengujian akan dilakukan pada hari ke 28.  Hasil pengujian kuat tarik belah yang menggunakan bakteri solibacillus dengan rata-rata 4,46 MPa, bakteri bacillus dengan rata-rata 4,51 MPa, dan bakteri staphylococcus dengan rata-rata 5,48 MPa. Hasil pengujian SEM menggambarkan substansi batang yang terkait dengan kristal kalsit pada setiap sampel beton bakteri. Penggunaan bakteri sebagai agen self-healing memberikan dampak positif dengan peningkatan kuat tarik belah, pengurangan penyerapan air, dan penurunan permeabilitas beton.

One of the government partners is Rukun Tetangga (RT) and Rukun Warga (RW). The RT/RW functions as a coordinator between residents, a bridge between the aspirations of fellow residents and the regional government, mediating the resolution of community problems faced by residents, while their duties include helping carry out the Ministry's duties to the community. The government maintains harmony in life, prepares plans and implements development by developing aspirations and pure self-help communities. From the tasks and functions of the RT / RW above, it can be seen that this is a vital task. RT / RW are institutions that are worthy of direct contact with the public, they are the mouths and ears of the Government which have the function of conveying Government policies and being the first recipients of community aspirations. The regional government has issued regulations for the Malang Regency Region number 12 of 2002 concerning RT / RW. However, if we look at the existence of RT/RW institutions in sub-districts that were initiated in carrying out their duties and functions, they are not yet fully implemented. Indicators that appear to be that the RT/RW Chair does not fully know and understand the duties, functions and responsibilities as well as programs managed by the government, the RT/RW organizational structure is not yet functioning well, as well as a lack of good coordination and cooperation between the RT/RW administrator and the government. . Conditions like this have a big impact on the institutional performance of the RT/RW

The development of the current era of globalization has led to technological advances in various fields, both in terms of economy, social, education, and health. Technological advances have positive and negative impacts on the environment. One of the negative impacts of technological advances on the environment is environmental damage which results in a decrease in the quality of the environment. The environment is a unified system where there is a mutual interaction between living things, objects, and resources. A person's attitude can determine the good and bad conditions and conditions that occur in the surrounding environment. The environment must be kept clean and beautiful with a full sense of responsibility and have sensitivity in protecting the environment. However, based on the results of observations, it is known that the attitude of caring for students at one of the SMKN in Malang City is still lacking. To foster an attitude of caring for the environment, community service is carried out which aims to provide education on environmental awareness, especially SMKN students. The results obtained from this community service turned out to be very beneficial for students, they became more aware of protecting and maintaining the environment around them.
Resistance Estimation of the Critical Infrastructure Objects in Hydropower Engineering Using Computer Simulation
Authors: Shlyk Sergii , Ovcharov Oleksandr
Published: December 2024

Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, attacks on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure (including energy generation and distribution facilities and hydropower) have been systematic. Among the intentional or unintentional damage to many small hydraulic structures, damage to the dams of power plants of the Dnipro River cascade should be highlighted: repeated strikes on the Dnipro hydroelectric power station, which stopped its functioning as an energy generation facility, but did not violate the structural integrity of the dam, and the destruction of the dam of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, which led to long-term catastrophic damage of an economic, humanitarian, and environmental nature. The dam of the Kremenchuk hydroelectric power station forms the largest reservoir of the Dnipro and Dniester cascades. The purpose of this study is to assess the resistance of the dam of the Kremenchuk hydroelectric power station using numerical simulations in an explicit formulation in the Ansys Autodyn software in the event of the dam being damaged by a strike using a conventional weapon.
Designing Space for Interaction and Recognition of Nonverbal Personhood
Authors: De Coen Amber , Hendriks Niels , Wilkinson Andrea
Published: December 2024

This paper presents the design, application, and results of experience-centered design sessions (ECD) involving nonverbal persons with dementia (PwD) and persons with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PwPIMD). This study is part of a larger interdisciplinary project dedicated to understanding the personhood of these persons within contexts of care and living. This study is grounded in the belief that sensory experiences and interactions can render their personhood visible, tangible, and accessible. With three participants from each group in six different care facilities, ECD sessions spanned four consecutive days. During these sessions, various tools aimed at providing sensory stimuli were introduced to the participants. These sessions were recorded and later analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. The reactions, interactions, actions, or the lack thereof, with or without these designed tools, provided insights into which tools and approaches effectively rendered nonverbal personhood visible, tangible, and accessible. Additionally, this study also considers the already existing sensory stimuli within their care setting, which were also observed and included in the analysis. Through these ECD sessions, a metaphorical space was created between the participant, designer-researcher, other actors, and tools present in these facilities. This paper not only explores the immediate and latent results of these sessions on the nonverbal participants but also considers the impact on other actors present within these facilities during the sessions. The paper concludes by providing recommendations to design for nonverbal personhood for designer-researchers working with nonverbal persons in care, while also highlighting ways to include them into research to create new avenues for understanding, recognition, and inclusion.
In Pursuit of Architectural Happiness, on the Potential for Change in Legal Frameworks for Accessibility
Authors: Andersson Jonas E.
Published: December 2024

Modern architecture has generated measurable requirements about users’ interactions with the built environment to create user-oriented architecture through meticulous full-scale testing with subsequent standardization. These requirements have entered the legal framework as minimum threshold values for basic demands that regulate building and physical planning. In the construction of the modern welfare society, building-related requirements have been associated with fundamental ethical values for the societal construction, e.g., equity, health, inclusion, and sustainable development. The programming of architecture through building requirements can be seen as giving the users a dosage of happiness through architecture. The modern welfare state defines an architectural happiness through is legal frameworks. This study analyzed thirteen questions from a 37-question questionnaire, distributed to 122 informants, in thirteen countries. The study aimed at establishing the contemporaneous understandings and uses of the concept of accessibility. The study concluded that, currently, the concept of accessibility has turned into a technical instrument that limits the quest for an increased fit between user demands and needs with the architectural design. Furthermore, there is a loose link between accessibility and sustainability. In conclusion, architectural happiness for the upcoming sustainable society of the 2030s needs to update the concept of accessibility so that the outcome – usability for future users – becomes apparent.
Beyond White as a Neutral Color
Authors: Joyce Sarah
Published: December 2024

This discussion paper explores the complex relationship between color and healthcare spaces, starting with the emerging prominence of white surfaces in early twentieth-century European hospital design. It examines the sociopolitical and sustainability implications of an apparently neutral color preference, noting case studies such as the mining of ilmenite ore in Madagascar, where the production of white pigment for titanium dioxide in paint correlates to ecological habitat degradation. The narrative also examines the global implications of mass-produced design practices and the hegemony of whiteness as something replacing colorful local color traditions with neutral hues. By exploring the interior design, materiality, and sensory qualities of white healthcare spaces, the paper discusses the association with hygiene and global influence on healthcare environments. The paper also examines the role of architectural education in shaping designers’ preferences for white and neutral color palettes in general and in healthcare settings, questioning the artificiality inherent in the prevailing white aesthetic. It also questions the latent remnants of racism in the preferential use of white, rooted in its historical association with 1930s modernism and rejection of “primitivism” in design. It further explores the role of color used as bright primary hues juxtaposed with white, in functions such as in wayfinding and a sense of “scientific” precision to how designers use color within these architectural contexts from applying principles from environmental and psychological science. In conclusion, this narrative unravels the historical, environmental, and sociocultural dimensions that led to white as a neutral color in design perceived as objective fact. It advocates for a more nuanced approach in healthcare environments and for design choices that prioritize diverse needs, experiences, and cultural sensitivities. The paper will encourage readers to critically assess the hegemony of white in healthcare design compared to the vibrancy of color in indigenous design traditions worldwide.

Construction is the main cause for global raw material extraction, and a key source of greenhouse gas emissions. Through the increasing consumption of resources, it is driving us beyond the planetary boundaries. We argue that in this light, the connection of the environmental impacts of new buildings and the symptoms of eco-anxiety among their designers, builders, users, and funders needs investigation and discussion.Art, culture, and rituals have been proposed as means to process and cope with difficult eco-emotions, including anxiety. Architecture is an important part of culture, oftentimes defined as, or including aspects of art, and can have symbolic meanings. Hence, it may also hold potential for dealing with difficult feelings, through e.g., memorial places. More importantly, however, regenerative, and emphatic architecture could support a shift of values away from an environmentally harmful construction culture towards building within planetary boundaries. This requires defining architecture from a new perspective, acknowledging its role in causing friction between values and acting thus as a driver for the ensuing predominantly negative emotions such as environmental anxiety. Design choices or architecture do not, however, need to be antithetical to environmental awareness, on the contrary. In this article, we present and discuss the dual role of architecture in relation to eco-anxiety. On one hand, architecture drives the consumption of resources, which causes significant environmental damage, and may hence spur difficult eco-emotions. On the other hand, architecture could be used for mitigating resource consumption as well as for offering re-evaluation of our construction culture, which is destructive for the wellbeing of our planet. Architecture could also create spaces where people are able to engage constructively with eco-emotions. Overall, we argue that architecture needs stronger value discourse. Conscious decisions, awareness-raising and skill-building can enable designers and teachers of design-related studies to better take eco-anxiety and other eco-emotions into account.
Integrated Living for People with Memory Decline

Global population ageing will impact our communities. Increasing number of older adults live at home with physical, sensory, and cognitive challenges. Enhancing living solutions that support physical and social wellbeing of people with memory decline is important for their wellbeing. Various living solutions to integrate and support them in meaningful and active daily life are needed. The objective of this research was to develop diverse housing models to integrate older adults with memory decline and their families in their communities. The research question was: what kind of living environments and housing design solutions can support the wellbeing and daily life of people with memory decline? How to implement the research findings in design? The project used multiple case study and research by design methods to promote discussion and knowledge sharing with various stakeholders working with housing for older adults. The results of the project indicated that there is a need to increase the knowledge base of designers and architects about the needs of people with memory decline. Design solutions should focus on familiarity of the living environment, human scale, visual and sensory perception. Accessible solutions in the built environment that support social activity, sense of community but ensure the right to privacy will increase peoples’ feeling of security and wellbeing. Through cross-sector collaboration and increasing participation of people with memory decline in the planning of housing we can provide better indoor and outdoor environments with current resources.
Children with Stroke: An Investigation of Their Home Environment

Existing research on stroke in adults highlights the role of the built environment during recovery. However, this role has been greatly overlooked in the everyday lives of children with stroke. A stroke in childhood brings substantial changes for affected individuals and their families. Special care and treatments are necessary even many years after the stroke. Although many children recover after a stroke and can lead largely normal lives, cognitive and physical impairments are not uncommon. Typical consequences of childhood stroke include one-sided weakness (hemiparesis), ataxia, seizures, and visuoperceptual deficits. These conditions influence the children’s everyday life. For example, home modifications are sometimes necessary to alleviate difficulties, but their implementation and effects on family life remain understudied. This study investigates the role of the built environment in the daily lives of children and families affected by this rare disease, aiming to understand how the built environment hinders and supports the daily lives of children with stroke and their families in their home environment. Using a participatory approach, children serve as experts, offering insights into their home environments. Fifteen German families participated, with guided tours documenting barriers and support measures through floor plans and photos. From an architectural perspective, it was noticeable that 1) large renovation measures were rarely implemented, instead, small aids in daily life were more common, 2) even small everyday aids can significantly improve the lives of these children and their families, 3) children are constantly developing, thus requiring adaptable solutions that can keep up with their growth and changing needs. In summary, this study illuminates the built environment’s impact on paediatric stroke survivors, providing insights to inform interventions and enhance the quality of life for the children and their families.
Human Needs in Relation to Home Attachment: Towards a Theoretical Framework to Architectural Affordances in Temporary Accommodation to Aid Designers

The current and rising provision of temporary accommodation in the UK does not always meet the needs of residents with one such contributing factor being the often-poor atmospheric qualities within these environments. Temporary accommodation is a broad term for housing provided for those who have previously been homeless, covering different variations of support or tenancy length. Our research synthesises transdisciplinary literature to create a theoretical framework which can be used to inform the design of suitable temporary accommodation by connecting psychological theories in a novel way to shed light on the parameters of the phenomenon of home attachment, specifically physical, architectural elements. Through iterative development and the addition of different theories, the framework is presented stage-by-stage in this paper. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is examined through the lens of architectural and environmental psychology to apply this fundamental, psychological principle to the design and the creation of positive atmospheres in temporary accommodation, which allows for an understanding that architectural design can fulfill various human needs. Finally, a further organisation of literature identifying architectural affordances was conducted by theme related to psychological need. The results of the identified unmet needs in tandem with causal architectural affordances can be used to guide architects, service providers and policymakers in the future design and selection of temporary accommodation, thus improving the experiences of residents.
