Published: December 2024

One of the core foundations of the movement of Muhammadiyah (Indonesia's second-largest Muslim organization) is the theological strength of the al-Ma’un Qur’anic chapter which was taught by Ahmad Dahlan, Muhammadiyah’s founder. Dahlan interpreted al-Ma’un into three main activities, namely education, health, and charity of the poor. He also transformed religious understanding from mere sacred doctrines that are socially "soundless" into a cooperation that frees human beings. In this modern era, there is a need to relive the spirit of al-Ma'un, especially in the condition of life that is full of social injustice. In doing so, Muhammadiyah established the Lazismu institution which functions to channel donation and zakat (almsgiving) funds. This paper aims to analyze the concept of social philanthropy in Lazismu’s independence in the effort to fulfill the al Maun theology so that all the collected zakat funds can be channeled for social services and how this independence concept grows the Muslim society's trust in Lazismu as a social philanthropy institution of Muhammadiyah. Method: This paper employed the qualitative normative research method. Results: This paper found that to achieve independence, Lazismu established businesses to cover the costs of zakat distribution worker's wages. Thus, the obtained zakat may be channeled without having it cut to pay for amil’s rights. In this case, the money is obtained from businesses (amal usaha), which are productive business units. A side effect of Lazismu’s independence is that the community's trust in this organization with experience an increase as it channels 100% of its zakat funds to other groups of beneficiaries and does not take any to wage the amil.

Published: December 2024

This study investigates the relationships between students' perceptions, interests, and engagement in mathematics within the cultural framework of K-12 education in Kazakhstan. A diverse sample of K-12 students representing various grade levels and community settings was included in the research. The analysis proceeded in three distinct phases: first, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to evaluate the reliability of the instrument; second, a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach was applied to examine relationships between variables and assess the overall model fit; and finally, descriptive and inferential statistical methods were employed. Students perceived mathematical abilities and interests were identified as significant predictors of their attitudes toward mathematics teachers, as revealed through SEM. Due to the nature of the data, nonparametric tests were utilized to explore group differences. The findings indicated a consistent pattern of negative student perceptions regarding their mathematical abilities and interests, juxtaposed with positive attitudes toward their mathematics teachers. These positive attitudes were more closely associated with students' personal rapport with teachers rather than their instructional effectiveness. Further analyses examined variations in perceptions across different grade levels and community settings, revealing the influence of contextual factors. Notably, no significant gender differences were observed, challenging existing literature on gender disparities in education. The study underscores the importance of adopting holistic educational strategies that account for cultural contexts and promote teacher-student solid relationships.

Published: December 2024

Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) are widely recognized as an essential for addressing the challenges of modern life. As a result, numerous educational systems prioritize the development of students' HOTS. While previous studies have explored the impact of scaffolding on HOTS through either paper-based methods or gamified approaches, this experimental study seeks to examine the effects of scaffolding-based digital instructional media delivered via web-based instruction—specifically, the platform Madmatics—on students' HOTS. The participants in this study consisted of 64 junior high school students, with 32 students utilizing the scaffolding-based digital media for mathematics learning, while the remaining 32 students engaged in traditional paper-and-pencil exercises in a regular classroom setting. The findings reveal that students exposed to scaffolding-based digital instructional media demonstrated significantly greater improvements in HOTS compared to those in the conventional learning environment. Three key factors may explain this enhancement: the scaffolding guided students through problem-solving tasks, the media provided immediate feedback and explanations to facilitate learning, and the digital platform increased student engagement and motivation to solve mathematical problems.

Published: December 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the level of proportional reasoning among middle school students in their ability to solve mathematical problems involving proportions. Proportional reasoning is essential for understanding and mastering various mathematical concepts, serving as a fundamental skill for higher-level mathematics. A qualitative case study design was employed, involving 28 eighth-grade students from a school in Bandung, Indonesia. The participants were assessed using a set of proportion-related problems, including numerical comparison, non-proportional (additive), direct proportion, and inverse proportion tasks. The analysis focused on categorizing the students' problem-solving strategies into distinct levels of proportional reasoning, ranging from non-proportional to formal proportional reasoning. Additionally, three students representing high, moderate, and low mathematical performance were selected for in-depth interviews to explore their reasoning processes when addressing proportion problems. Data analysis included administering tests, reviewing students' problem-solving strategies, conducting in-depth interviews, and evaluating their proportional reasoning abilities. The findings revealed that students with high and moderate mathematical performance exhibited proportional reasoning levels ranging from 0 to 3, whereas low-performing students displayed levels ranging from 0 to 2. Moreover, students generally faced difficulties distinguishing between proportional and non-proportional problems. Even when correct answers were provided, many lacked a deep understanding of direct and inverse proportion concepts. The study also discusses several implications for enhancing students' proportional reasoning skills.

Authors: Kuncoro Krida Singgih , Suryadi Didi , Dahlan Jarnawi Afgani , Jupri Al
Published: December 2024

Mathematics textbooks are essential tools for facilitating the achievement of learning objectives, yet their use varies across classrooms, even when the same mathematical concepts are being taught. This study aims to investigate students' understanding of geometrical similarity through praxeological analysis within the framework of the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic (ATD). The analysis identifies differences in the structuring of geometrical similarity tasks between Indonesian and Singaporean textbooks. According to ATD praxeology, mathematical content is analyzed through the "praxis" and "logos" blocks, where praxis encompasses task types (T) and techniques (τ), while logos involves technology (θ) and theory (Θ). The findings highlight distinct priorities in how geometrical similarity is presented in textbooks from both countries, with implications for students’ conceptual and procedural understanding. Specifically, the absence of pantograph tasks in Singaporean textbooks and the lack of scale factor exercises in Indonesian textbooks reflect differences in knowledge construction and task emphasis. These variations impact students' ability to relate textbook knowledge to real-world applications. The study underscores the significance of incorporating a diverse range of task designs and practical experiences to enhance students' geometric reasoning abilities. A well-structured textbook not only supports students in achieving learning objectives but also fosters a continuous process of building, connecting, and deepening their mathematical understanding.

Authors: Oktaviyanthi Rina , Agus Ria Noviana , Khotimah
Published: December 2024

Understanding the relationship between cognitive load and brain activity is essential for enhancing learning outcomes, particularly in complex subjects such as calculus. Despite its significance, empirical research examining the manifestation of cognitive load in brain activity patterns remains sparse, indicating a notable gap in the literature. This study aims to investigate the correlation between brain activity and cognitive load in a cohort of 30 mathematics education students enrolled in a calculus course, utilizing electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings. A quantitative descriptive research design was employed, integrating cluster analysis and data visualization techniques to facilitate an in-depth examination. EEG recordings of theta, alpha, and beta wave activity were collected during calculus sessions, followed by the administration of a cognitive load questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were utilized to analyze the distribution of cognitive load and brain activity, while correlation analysis was conducted to explore the relationships between cognitive load and EEG parameters across the different brainwave bands. The results revealed that higher cognitive load was positively correlated with increased frequency and amplitude in the alpha and beta bands, while a negative correlation was observed with theta frequency. Furthermore, cluster analysis effectively categorized participants based on distinct EEG signal patterns associated with varying levels of cognitive load. These findings offer valuable insights for the development of personalized learning interventions tailored to individual brain activity profiles, providing a foundation for future research on adaptive learning environments.

Authors: Utami Aprilia Nur , Nurhasanah Farida , Triyanto  , Dolk Maarten
Published: December 2024

The concept of slope constitutes a fundamental component of the discourse surrounding linear equations. A subset of students frequently interprets slope merely as an algebraic ratio. This particular context fosters a superficial understanding of slope, as these students typically resort to mechanical memorization of the slope formula. The intent of this research endeavor is to enhance a holistic understanding of the slope concept: physically, geometrically, algebraically; through the deployment of realistic teaching activities. Two students are participants in this research endeavor. The research group initiated a series of questions aimed at assessing their comprehension by delivering a total of six activities, which were systematically designed using the emergent modeling framework central to the educational design principles of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME). These activities are structured to facilitate the students' understanding of the fundamental concept of slope, transitioning from physical properties, through geometric ratios, to algebraic ratios. Subsequent to the investigations and the interviews conducted, the researchers deduce that the utilization of realistic activities significantly enhances students' comprehension of the foundational concept of slope: physical, geometric, algebraic.

The methodological basis of the study was the concept of sustainable development and the theory of stakeholder management. Using cause-and-effect analysis and the structural-functional method, the role of the public administration system in solving environmental problems was clarified and supplemented with an environmental and political component based on the stakeholder approach.
Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that the modern concept of sustainable development should focus not only on issues of careful handling of nature, state regulation of environmental activities, but also on the processes of introducing resource- and energy-saving technologies based on waste minimization and their return to production.
Results. The directions for updating state initiatives to ensure sustainable development of economic systems based on the communication process with all stakeholders are proposed. The need to strengthen the role of key stakeholders in the development and implementation of state policy for the development of a circular economy is substantiated. The communication platform for solving the "green" agenda should be formed on the basis of close interaction of state authorities, population, business structures, scientific and educational institutions, non-profit organizations. The system of state management of sustainable development should include not only environmental, social, economic elements, but also develop a political component. At the same time, it is necessary to create conditions for their interaction, taking into account the characteristics of each, which will allow achieving sustainable development of economic systems. The results of the study can be used as a theoretical basis for improving the formats of interaction between the state, business structures and the population in solving environmental problems and forming an effective state environmental policy.

Subject of the research. Using the analysis of empirical data, to study the formats of integration of dialogue and monologue forms of socio-political communication as a way to expand the framework of direct democracy, the possibilities of implementing large-scale Internet discussions, intensifying communication and interaction between the state and society in the public space. The methodological basis is presented by the results of a qualitative study with representatives of three main target groups of the regional community of the Vologda and Yaroslavl regions on the relationship between hierarchical and network principles of communication in building interaction in solving socially significant problems of the region.
Network formats of interaction between government and society are characterized by the diversification of numerous new "players" in the public space, accustoming the state to a coordinating and moderating role in the process of converting the capabilities and resources of different participants in the interaction into a common public result. It is noted that in the conditions of networking, in addition to the involvement of traditional civil society actors in initiatives and projects, the influence of small initiative groups and individuals is increasing.
Research results. Dialogical communication opportunities are best realized by intersectoral partnership technologies. It is shown that innovative intersectoral partnership technologies are successfully developing in the Vologda region and the process of public deliberation regarding the region's development strategy is clearly presented. In the Yaroslavl region, on the contrary, the process of dialogue between the authorities and society is in a condition in which the civil and public sectors live according to their own ontological logic. The demand for real dialogue is emasculated, which leads to the formalization of the use of network communication platforms.

The purpose of the research is to determine the opportunities and risks of digitalization of socio-economic policy.
Theoretical analysis of foreign and Russian literature allowed us to assess the readiness and ability to implement modern digital (software) products in the public administration ecosystem. Based on the analysis of digital systems and platforms "Gosuslugi", "Gosoblako", "Gostech", EGISSO, GIS "Unified Centralized Digital Platform in the Social Sphere", GIS "Work in Russia", the directions of digital transformation of the social sphere were identified. The method of expert assessments was used to identify the causes and conditions of transformation processes. Subject of the research: digitalization processes of socio-economic policy in the Russian Federation.
Objectives of the research. To systematize the barriers and opportunities for digitalization. To analyze the indicators of digital transformation of the public sector. Particular attention is paid to foreign and Russian experience in digitalization of the analyzed sectoral policy, generating positive changes and expanding multiplier and cross-sectoral effects. The introduction of modern digital (software) products into the ecosystem of socio-economic policy allows us to ensure its effectiveness, transparency and accessibility, improve the quality of life and the quality of social services provided. Triggers and drivers of digitalization in the long term contribute to increasing national security and sustainability of national development of Russia. At the same time, the positive narrative of digitalization often faces certain barriers in the process of implementing digital projects.
As a result, the author proposes to classify the risks of digitalization: according to spheres - ethical, political, economic, social, reputational, institutional (integrity of institutions); according to the assessment of what is happening - objective and subjective; according to the level - international, federal, regional, local; according to the specific conditions of origin - endogenous and exogenous. Some recommendations are given for public authorities. It is indicated that the introduction of digital solutions in the sphere of socio-economic policy requires a balanced approach, taking into account both their transformative potential and risks. Active informing of citizens about digital (including platform) solutions is required. For doing this, it is necessary to involve opinion leaders, communication channels in accordance with return preferences (messengers, traditional media, social advertising, etc.), family MFCs, public authorities and other actors.

The purpose of the study is to identify the problems and contradictions of the positive transformation of healthy lifestyle practices among elderly Russians in order to improve targeted work to extend the professional and social activity of older citizens.
Research methods. The theoretical basis was the study of social practices that consider the integration of behavior models in the field of healthy lifestyle. The empirical study was conducted in 2024 in the Belgorod region using a questionnaire survey of older people (N = 697).
The sample was a multi-stage quota sample, formed according to the place of residence, age, gender, cohabitation or single residence.
The scientific problem is the feasibility of improving targeted work to extend the professional and social activity of older citizens of the study, but the lack of scientific substantiation of specific problems and contradictions of the positive transformation of healthy lifestyle practices among older Russians.
As a result of the study, a two-level system of problems existing in a healthy lifestyle among representatives of the older generation was built: 1) social level; 2) individual-group level. Contradictions were found: 1) many problems that elderly people have, on the one hand, are a consequence of the lack of a healthy lifestyle, and on the other hand, its lack of formation is the cause of an objective deterioration in the health and subjective well-being of citizens; 2) established socio-cultural norms are in serious conflict with the interests of modern elderly Russians.
The Role of Telomerase Activity in Virus- Induced Infections
Authors: AKGÜL Elvan
Published: December 2024

Kromozomların doğrusal uçlarında yer alan telomer adı verilen yapılar, kromozom bütünlüğünün korunmasında önemli rol oynar. Kısa telomerler, DNA hasarı tarafından üretilenlere benzer sinyaller üreterek hem yaşlanmaya hem de programlanmış hücre ölümüne yol açar. Telomeraz enzimi, telomer zincirlerinin uzun kalması için kısalmış telomerleri onarır. Telomerler üzerindeki telomeraz enziminin aktivasyonunu anlamaya yönelik çalışmalar, bu enzimin canlı hücreleri üzerinde hücresel gençleşmeye olumlu etki yapacağını, canlı hücrelerinin yaşam süresini uzatacağını, böylece yaşa bağlı hastalıkları oluşmadan önleyeceğini ve ayrıca yaşlılığa bağlı olarak gelişebilecek birçok kanser türünün ilk etapta ortaya çıkmasını imkansız hale getireceğini göstermiştir. Bu, hücrenin bölünme yeteneğini arttırır. Telomerazın hücresel transformasyon ve karsinogenezdeki rolünü belirlemek için telomeraz aktivitesi ile hayvan ve insan tümöral virüsleri arasındaki ilişkiyi araştıran çalışmalar yapılmaktadır. İnsan ve hayvan somatik hücrelerinde telomeraz aktivitesi çok az olmasına veya hiç olmamasına rağmen, telomeraz aktivitesinin onkojenik virüslerle enfekte olmuş hücrelerde devam ettiği ve hücresel yaşlanmayı önleyebileceği öne sürülmüştür. İlginç bir şekilde, insan ve hayvan onkojenik virüsleri, geliştirdikleri mekanizmalar aracılığıyla telomeraz enzimini yeniden aktive edebilir. Bu derleme, viral enfeksiyon ile telomeraz aktivitesi arasındaki ilişkiyi araştıran çalışmalardan derlenmiştir.

A concept known as "Cloud  Computing" aims to simplify the on-demand delivery of software, hardware, as well as data as services and give end users adaptable, scalable, and accessible services through the Internet. The major goal of the suggested technique is to create a healthy balance of load across all the Cloud  resources servers while maximizing resource usage. Every resource will first have a load model created based on a number of variables, including memory use, processing time, and access rate.  Several meta heuristics optimization algorithm are presented in literature for VM migration with load balancing in Cloud Computing (CC). However, in the paper Biased Random Sampling with Firefly Optimization (BRS-FO) was combined. The Load balancing is performed by biased random sampling and Firefly Optimization by maintaining the virtual server availability. In this method the performance of proposed algorithm was compared with PSO, GA and Honey Bee Optimization (HBO). The parameters taken for analysis are Makespan, Response time and energy consumption. From this experimental results, the proposed BRS-FO achieved the makespan of 5s, response time of 1s and energy consumption of 5J and proved this method is efficient than other system

The integration of sentiment analysis with learning analytics offers a novel approach to improving student outcomes by providing deeper insights into the emotional and cognitive states of learners. This research explores the use of sentiment analysis on student interactions, such as online discussions, assignments, and feedback, to assess the emotional tone of student engagement. By combining these sentiment insights with traditional learning analytics, which track academic progress and behavior patterns, this study aims to create a comprehensive model that enhances the identification of students at risk, tailor educational interventions, and fosters personalized learning experiences. The proposed approach not only improves the monitoring of student well-being and engagement but also supports the development of adaptive learning systems that respond to students’ emotional states. Results show that sentiment analysis integrated with learning analytics can provide real-time feedback for educators, enhancing student support and improving overall academic performance

Ecosystem service (ES) concepts can provide valuable approaches to substantiate arguments focused on decision-making in management processes set for environmental issues. Despite the growing interest in this topic, the introduction of these concepts in higher education remains incipient due to lack of perception about the important role played by these contents in engineers’ training. The aim of the current study is to investigate the way discipline matrices address contents focused on ESs associated with water, along with pedagogical projects of Environmental Engineering courses at Federal Technological University of Paraná - UTFPR. The herein conducted survey identified 35 didactic units associated with this topic. In light of the foregoing, approaches to help professors to introduce ES in the structure of the identified contents were herein suggested based on references available in the specialized literature, by taking into consideration a more integrated perspective about engineers’ training. Furthermore, the herein proposed approach met the aims of the new national curriculum guidelines for engineering courses.

The of this manuscript was to describe the contribution of 4 Playful -Dialogic Educational Workshops to promote the education of patients about breast cancer (BC) for women who have experienced this diagnosis, using Creative Learning as a tool. As an approach, qualitative research and community-based participatory research were have been used, since this study has as its central axis the dialogical relationship and the shared construction of knowledge through the appreciation of knowledge both from science and from those who experienced such a diagnosis. It had the participation of 12 women who experienced the diagnosis of breast cancer, aged between 40 and 72 years and used the conversation wheel as an instrument for data collection. It was analyzed using Bardin's Content Analysis, with the following categories: Promoting patient access to knowledge about BC mama to improve care; The importance of favoring the patient's understanding in relation to the knowledge built about BC; Health education as a device for patient empowerment; Peer-to-peer education as a proposed approach to share and expand access to knowledge about BC. Having in horizontality, shared construction of knowledge and creativity, important devices for the effective and meaningful construction of knowledge, Creative Learning becomes an innovative path to foster criticality and empowerment of participating women. The knowledge constructed enabled them to act, in the social environments in which they live, as multipliers of this learning, expanding and democratizing access to information about BC.
