Authors: Hernández Suárez Cesar Augusto , Hernández Albarracín Juan Diego , Jaramillo Benitez Janz Elías
Published: June 2024

Este estudio persigue el objetivo de comparar las percepciones de los estudiantes entre dos metodologías contemporáneas de enseñanza: el aprendizaje en línea y el modelo invertido. Se enfoca en cómo estos enfoques influyen en la adquisición de competencias clave en el proceso educativo. Se implementó una metodología cuasiexperimental con diseño pretest-intervención-posttest en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios, buscando evaluar de forma integral las diferencias en las dimensiones de aprendizaje, las competencias desarrolladas y las calificaciones finales. Los resultados muestran una correlación importante entre la aplicación de los métodos de aprendizaje en línea y el invertido con las mejoras en el rendimiento académico. Se evidenció que la fusión de ambos enfoques promueve un efecto positivo en las experiencias educativas, la autoevaluación y la adquisición de conocimientos, sin que uno sobresalga claramente sobre el otro. El estudio subraya la importancia de una correcta integración de la tecnología en la educación, destacando el aprendizaje invertido como punto de partida ideal para estudiantes principiantes, por su efectividad en vincular teoría y práctica, antes de avanzar hacia el aprendizaje en línea que permite más autonomía. Reconoce las limitaciones de sus resultados por la pequeña muestra utilizada, pero los encuentra prometedores, recomendando investigaciones futuras con grupos más grandes y diversificados para confirmar y ampliar la aplicabilidad de estas metodologías educativas.

Published: June 2024

Despite numerous previous studies that investigated the adoption of photovoice as the method to capture both students' and teachers’ past experiences in qualitative research and educational settings, more needs to be done to explore how student-teachers voice their learning experience (e.g., beliefs, emotions, values or perceptions) and, in particular, online thesis examination experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. To extend this scholarship, this phenomenological case study reports how student-teachers articulated their critical incidents while enacting an online thesis examination in a higher education context using the under-utilized data collection method of photovoice. Out of sixteen student teachers who took part in an online thesis examination, three student-teachers were recruited as the participants in this study. Findings reveal a visual illustration of the experiences and provide insight and understanding of this phenomenon. This study demonstrates that teacher educators, curriculum developers, and faculty members should recognize students’ feelings during an online thesis examination to provide a more responsive experience.

Published: June 2024

This paper seeks to explore the impact of video lectures on the students of the Department of English of a Bangladeshi private university during the world pandemic, COVID-19. Using various online resources, especially YouTube videos, website links, e-texts, and journal articles, to make a classroom vibrant, interesting, engaging, and entertaining and to disseminate the best possible knowledge among students was the common trend in the classrooms of the English Department of Daffodil International University (DIU) before the pandemic. However, using teacher-developed materials in the classroom was not a regular phenomenon in the culture of higher education in Bangladesh, particularly in the Department of English at DIU. This paper will explore what kind of positive motivation this shift brought to get the students more engaged in the classroom during the worldwide crisis. It will also discuss whether the teacher-made video lectures helped students understand the topic(s) better. This study intends to address these issues besides inspecting the general pros and cons of using such materials in a tertiary classroom. The data were collected through close-ended and open-ended questionnaires from the selected students and analyzed using qualitative and quantitative research methods. The researchers hypothesized that teacher-made video lectures were more effective given that students’ and instructors’ similar stress and intonation, pronunciation, and cultural experiences which helped learners comprehend the lesson topics in comparison with materials prepared commercially. This paper also highlights the students' expectations and satisfaction, particularly related to the video lectures made by teachers compared to those taken from popular online resources.

Published: June 2024

The study was carried out to explore the pedagogical skills of secondary-level English language (EL) teachers in Bangladesh. Classroom teaching is a challenging job, and more so for English language (EL) teachers as English is a skill-based subject. Teachers are supposed to demonstrate the required pedagogical skills for effective classroom EL teaching-learning. Following the constructivist research paradigm and a multiple case study approach, qualitative data were collected through direct non-participant classroom observations and face-to-face interviews with six EL teachers and other secondary informants. The collected data were analyzed by a qualitative data analysis software, NVivo 11 Pro, using thematic analysis. The main findings of the study substantiated that the participating EL teachers had poor pedagogical skills in classroom management, ignored the four skills, built no rapport with learners, failed to retain learners’ attention, encouraged memorization, could not motivate the learners, assigned ritualistic homework, taught grammar and vocabulary without contextualization, used teaching aids insufficiently and ineffectively, and exhibited poor planning and preparation for classroom teaching. The paper also discusses the implications of the key findings and proposes some recommendations for the EL teachers and other stakeholders concerned.

Človek in narava: naravni zakon kot temelj okoljske etike
Authors: Valenzuela Pia
Published: June 2024

This article presents Thomas Aquinas’ natural law argument with the intention to justify environmental ethics by referring to the natural law as the participation in the eternal law. Before dealing with what constitutes this participation of the eternal law, understood as an active and passive participation, it is necessary to examine what environmental ethics strives for. In general, environmental ethics aims to argue the value of natural beings and moral attitude towards nature. The consideration of the passive participation in the eternal law both in human and natural beings is useful for justifying not only the value of natural beings, but also the community of life between humans and the rest of nature. The consideration of the active participation in the eternal law in human beings serves to argue the moral responsibility for non-rational beings.

Abstract
Indonesia has a well-organized institutional framework, especially in a democratic context that prioritizes citizens' rights. An ideal democratic country is one that gives supreme power to its people, has responsible citizens, a government that is managed by the people, and authority that is exercised by the people. The approach in this context refers to the point of view used by a researcher to examine data from the literature interpretation. Choosing a particular approach or point of view in a research really depends on the research question you want to answer. In this research, the method applied is an interpretive approach, namely an approach that allows researchers to interpret interpretive texts or literature with the aim of providing an explanation of the content of the interpretation being studied. Janedjri stated that every position established by law can be called an instrument of the state, The meaning also refers to humans who carry out functions or positions in activities within the framework of the state. This meaning goes beyond the physical structure of state institutions. However, if interpreted strictly, state institutions are institutions that have a certain legal status determined by the Constitution. The state is an abstract entity that is realized in its totality. Surah Ibrahim verse 35 and Saba verse 15 relate to the regulation of government institutions in the Maudhu'i system. Based on the interpretations of several scholars, the conclusion can be drawn that a safe country is one inhabited by individuals who always remember Allah and ask Him for forgiveness.

Con el desarrollo de IoT (internet de las cosas), el procesamiento de datos amplia tanto su complejidad como sus posibilidades de uso, entre los que destaca el desarrollo de la IA. Al mismo tiempo, se identifican una serie de efectos colaterales de esta tecnología que impactan en nuestra democracia. Los datos, y la forma en qué son procesados, conllevan riesgos para la ciudadanía, cuya amenaza principal es que sus nuestras vidas diarias sean vigiladas o intervenidas. No obstante, junto con estos conflictos, el IoT genera grandes beneficios para las sociedades en diversos campos como puede ser el sector industrial o el médico, sin olvidar las posibilidades ligadas a la mejora de la prevención de riesgos potenciales para las personas e infraestructuras. En cualquier caso, no se puede caer en su mitificación ni en el pesimismo. El papel de la regulación es esencial en esta profunda transformación tecnológica en la que nos encontramos. El IoT supone un verdadero desafío para la ciudadanía europea. La UE ha realizado un notable esfuerzo legislativo, que nos ha situado como el área del mundo con una legislación más avanzada en la protección de derechos en el ecosistema cibernético.

Peran Remaja Kristen dalam Penggunaan Media Sosial
Authors: Hasibuan Derlina Agustina
Published: June 2024

Dalam perkembangan dunia yang semakin modern ini, penggunaan media sosial sudah tidak asing lagi di kalangan siapa pun terutama dikalangan remaja. Terdapat banyak dampak positif dari adanya media sosial, salah satunya adalah membantu terjalinnya relasi dan komunikasi dengan orang lain secara mudah. Akan tetapi terdapat juga dampak negative dari penggunaan media sosial ini yaitu terkait moral remaja sudah semakin rusak akibat penggunaan media sosial yang tidak terkontrol. Hal ini mengakibatkan munculnya perilaku-perilaku yang menyeleweng seperti bullyng, penipuan, pemalsuan identitas, dan lain-lain. Melihat para remaja yang sudah semakin rusak moralnya akibat pengaruh media sosial, maka perlu untuk seorang remaja Kristen menyadari identitasnya sebagai gambar dan rupa Allah yang harus merepresentatifkan Allah di dunia ini. Di mana seorang remaja Kristen di dalam penggunaan media sosial harus memberitakan Injil Yesus Kristus sehingga setiap orang dapat mengenal dan percaya kepada Yesus. Perlu juga sebagai seorang remaja Kristen untuk terus menumbuhkan imannya yang benar kepada Yesus Kristus sehingga bisa juga menjadi berkat dengan melakukan penginjilan melallui media sosial sehingga orang-orang yang belum mengenal dan percaya kepada Yesus Kristus dapat mengenal dan percaya kepadaNya memlaui pertolongan Roh Kudus.
Pengangguran dan Mandat Budaya
Authors: Iswoyo Febe
Published: June 2024

Tujuan penulisan karya ilmiah ini adalah untuk menjelaskan kajian Pengangguran dan mandat budaya dalam pandangan Alkitab. Pengangguran menjadi masalah di negara tertentu, khususnya di Indonesia. Setiap tahunnya Indonesia mencatat jumlah penduduk dengan tingkat kemiskinan yang tinggi. Selain itu, juga termasuk umat Kristiani yang merupakan salah satu kelompok pengangguran. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif yang dilihat dari sudut pandang Alkitab. Konsep pengangguran tentu tidak sesuai dengan apa yang Alkitab katakan. Sejak awal penciptaan, Tuhan telah memberikan manusia mandat untuk bekerja. Maka sebagai umat Kristiani, penting untuk memahami konsep pengangguran dan dampaknya terhadap kehidupan individu. Konsep pengangguran tidak hanya dipahami secara umum tetapi juga harus dipahami dari sudut pandang Alkitab. Alkitab tidak pernah mencatat dan menyetujui pegangguran, justru Alkitab mencatat bahwa setiap orang harus bekerja dengan tujuan akhir yaitu memuliakan Tuhan, Sang Pencipta dan Pemberi Mandat.

Published: June 2024

Alternative splicing is the post-transcriptional mechanism by which many different isoforms are generated from a single gene, contributing to increasing spatio-temporal transcriptome complexity. We propose a novel genome-level measure of alternative splicing, which associates it with a single value for each species. Thus, a comparative analysis of species spanning the whole tree of life has revealed certain evolutionary trends in alternative splicing, prevalence in specific lineages, and relation to genome compositional structures.

How bacterial pathogens exploit host metabolism to promote immune tolerance and persist in infected hosts remains elusive. To achieve this, we show that
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA),
a recalcitrant pathogen, utilizes the quorum sensing (QS) signal 2-aminoacetophenone (2-AA). Here, we unveil how 2-AA-driven immune tolerization causes distinct metabolic perturbations in macrophages’ mitochondrial respiration and bioenergetics. We present evidence indicating that these effects stem from a decrease in pyruvate transport into mitochondria. This reduction is attributed to decreased expression of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC1), which is mediated by diminished expression and nuclear presence of its transcriptional regulator, estrogen-related nuclear receptor alpha (ERRα). Consequently, ERRα exhibits weakened binding to the MPC1 promoter. This outcome arises from the impaired interaction between ERRα and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α). Ultimately, this cascade results in diminished pyruvate influx into mitochondria and consequently reduced ATP production in tolerized macrophages. Exogenously added ATP in infected macrophages restores the transcript levels of
MPC1
and
ERR-α and
enhances cytokine production and intracellular bacterial clearance. Consistent with the
in vitro
findings, murine infection studies corroborate the 2-AA-mediated long-lasting decrease in ATP and acetyl-CoA and its association with
PA
persistence, further supporting this QS signaling molecule as the culprit of the host bioenergetic alterations and
PA
persistence. These findings unveil 2-AA as a modulator of cellular immunometabolism and reveal an unprecedent mechanism of host tolerance to infection involving the PGC-1α/ERRα axis in its influence on MPC1/OXPHOS-dependent energy production and
PA
clearance. These paradigmatic findings paving the way for developing treatments to bolster resilience to pathogen-induced damage. Given that QS is a common characteristic of prokaryotes, it is likely that 2-AA-like molecules with similar functions may be present in other pathogens.

The focus of the research is on the label-constrained time-varying shortest route query problem on time-varying communication networks. To the best of our knowledge, research on this issue is still relatively limited, and similar studies have the drawbacks of low solution accuracy and slow computational speed. In this study, a wave delay neural network (WDNN) framework and corresponding algorithms is proposed to effectively solve the label-constrained time-varying shortest routing query problem. This framework accurately simulates the time-varying characteristics of the network without any training requirements. WDNN adopts a new type of wave neuron, which is independently designed and all neurons are parallelly computed on WDNN. This algorithm determines the shortest route based on the waves received by the destination neuron (node). Furthermore, the time complexity and correctness of the proposed algorithm were analyzed in detail in this study, and the performance of the algorithm was analyzed in depth by comparing it with existing algorithms on randomly generated and real networks. The research results indicate that the proposed algorithm outperforms current existing algorithms in terms of response speed and computational accuracy.

Published: June 2024

The expanding computer landscape leads us toward ubiquitous computing, in which smart gadgets seamlessly provide intelligent services anytime, anywhere. Smartphones and other smart devices with multiple sensors are at the vanguard of this paradigm, enabling context-aware computing. Similar setups are also known as smart spaces. Context-aware systems, primarily deployed on mobile and other resource-constrained wearable devices, use a variety of implementation approaches. Rule-based reasoning, noted for its simplicity, is based on a collection of assertions in working memory and a set of rules that regulate decision-making. However, controlling working memory capacity efficiently is a key challenge, particularly in the context of resource-constrained systems. The paper’s main focus lies in addressing the dynamic working memory challenge in memory-constrained devices by introducing a systematic method for content removal. The initiative intends to improve the creation of intelligent systems for resource-constrained devices, optimize memory utilization, and enhance context-aware computing.

Background

Patients in serious condition due to COVID-19 often require special care in intensive care units (ICUs). This disease has affected over 758 million people and resulted in 6.8 million deaths worldwide. Additionally, the progression of the disease may vary from individual to individual, that is, it is essential to identify the clinical parameters that indicate a good prognosis for the patient. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have been used for analyzing complex medical data and identifying prognostic indicators. However, there is still an urgent need for a model to elucidate the predictors related to patient outcomes. Therefore, this research aimed to verify, through ML, the variables involved in the discharge of patients admitted to the ICU due to COVID-19.

Methods

In this study, 126 variables were collected with information on demography, hospital length stay and outcome, chronic diseases and tumors, comorbidities and risk factors, complications and adverse events, health care, and vital indicators of patients admitted to an ICU in southern Brazil. These variables were filtered and then selected by a ML algorithm known as decision trees to identify the optimal set of variables for predicting patient discharge using logistic regression. Finally, a confusion matrix was performed to evaluate the model’s performance for the selected variables.

Results

Of the 532 patients evaluated, 180 were discharged: female (16.92%), with a central venous catheter (23.68%), with a bladder catheter (26.13%), and with an average of 8.46- and 23.65-days using bladder catheter and submitted to mechanical ventilation, respectively. In addition, the chances of discharge increase by 14% for each additional day in the hospital, by 136% for female patients, 716% when there is no bladder catheter, and 737% when no central venous catheter is used. However, the chances of discharge decrease by 3% for each additional year of age and by 9% for each other day of mechanical ventilation. The performance of the training data presented a balanced accuracy of 0.81, sensitivity of 0.74, specificity of 0.88, and the kappa value was 0.64. The test performance had a balanced accuracy of 0.85, sensitivity 0.75, specificity 0.95, and kappa value of 0.73. The McNemar test found that there were no significant differences in the error rates in the training and test data, suggesting good classification. This work showed that female, the absence of a central venous catheter and bladder catheter, shorter mechanical ventilation, and bladder catheter duration were associated with a greater chance of hospital discharge. These results may help develop measures that lead to a good prognosis for the patient.
