Bridging Synchronous and Asynchronous Learning through English Presentation Course
Authors: Patak Andi Anto , Hidayat Rahmat , Yahya Yazrina
Published: October 2024

This study investigated students' perceptions of synchronous and asynchronous learning in the context of English presentation skills. A qualitative descriptive design was employed, and data were collected from ten students enrolled in an English presentation course using convenience sampling. A semi-structured interview guide was developed to gather information from the participants' perspectives, ensuring they understood the study and their role in it. Thematic analysis was utilized to analyze the collected data, ensuring reliability and logical sorting of themes. To enhance internal validity, the interview guide was reviewed by experienced researchers, and both interviewers practiced the procedure to ensure consistency. Additionally, the resulting themes from the analysis were discussed with a different group of researchers to minimize potential biases. The study revealed that regular practice in forming simple past tense sentences and memorizing common irregular verbs are recommended and crucial for improving language skills. Contextual considerations are essential for choosing the correct tense. Synchronous learning encourages quick thinking, while asynchronous activities allow students to learn at their own pace and reinforce vocabulary. Consistent practice is crucial, and supplementing synchronous learning with asynchronous activities can enhance language skills. Asynchronous learning offers a valuable platform for pronunciation practice and enables students to progress at their own pace. These findings have practical implications for language educators, providing guidance on how to structure their teaching methods to best support their students' language learning.

Authors: Zahnitko Oleh
Published: October 2024

This paper explores the intersection of energy security supply and human rights in Ukraine, focusing on the implications of disruptions in the supply of wholesale energy products. Ukraine’s wholesale energy sector is being under attack since early October 2023, with no legally sound reaction from the international community. The article studies, past hindrance of the economic development and personal liability caused by the attacks, the risks posed to human rights and other peremptory rules of public international law, including access to essential services, health, and an adequate standard of living. By examining the legal frameworks and international human rights standards, this study argues that sustained or significant interruptions in wholesale energy supply constitute a breach of human rights and sufficient cause of action by the Government of Ukraine under multilateral international instruments.
Russia – Traffic in Transit: A Landmark Case Undermining the Role of WTO Security Exceptions Amidst Trade and Hybrid Wars
Authors: Kozachuk Nataliia
Published: October 2024

This article explores the relationship between trade and hybrid warfare conducted by state actors in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war before Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022 and the US-China trade war. It analyzes recent WTO case-law, notably the landmark case Russia – Traffic in Transit, where justification under GATT Art. XXI was successfully invoked by Russia – a WTO member that launched armed aggression against its neighbor, resorting to occupation and annexation of Ukraine’s territories. Panel’s application of a two-tier test in this case is put into question as Russia has neither explained what constituted an emergency in international relations nor articulated its essential security interests. The analysis addresses how Russia employed trade war tactics as part of its arsenal in the realm of hybrid warfare, subsequently escalating to a full-scale aggression against Ukraine, triggering the largest continental war in Europe since WWII. However, the article recognizes the balanced nature of the GATT Art. XXI interpretation, requiring the Panel to assess whether the measures were “taken in time of war or other emergency in international relations,” and also to identify whether the invoking member acted in good faith when establishing the connection between the measures and its essential security interests. If applied correctly, this interpretation should not encourage further trade wars.

Authors: Ascencio Meneses Diego Alejandro , Lara Pedraza Laura Nathaly , Quintana Zotaquirá Laura Vanessa , Gordo Sosa Loren Eliana
Published: October 2024

Introducción: El efecto Stroop ha sido investigado usando diferentes tipos de estímulos pero  es escasa la evidencia de este efecto en la interacción entre estímulos gustativos y visuales, por lo que esta investigación tiene como objetivo identificar si los estímulos visuales (representaciones lingüísticas) interfieren en la percepción gustativa de los estudiantes universitarios.
Materiales y métodos: Se evaluó individualmente a 36 estudiantes universitarios de 3 carreras: psicología, ingeniería y licenciatura. Se midió la percepción de 4 estímulos gustativos (fresa, durazno, ciruela y naranja) respecto a 2 estímulos visuales (palabras o anagramas) en 3 niveles experimentales: estímulos congruentes, incongruentes y control.
Resultados: Se encontraron diferencias significativas en el número de aciertos en cuanto a las variables de grupo, sexo y profesión (grado). La interferencia resultó menor en el factor de estímulos controles respecto al tiempo de reacción, mientras que en el número de aciertos, la interferencia fue menor en los estímulos congruentes; las mujeres obtuvieron un mayor número de aciertos y menor tiempo de reacción en los tres factores experimentales en contraste con los hombres; se encontraron diferencias no significativas en cuanto a la profesión.
Conclusiones: los resultados muestran que la interferencia stroop intermodal resultó menor en el nivel de estímulos controles pues los participantes requirieron menos tiempo para identificar estos estímulos  en comparación cuando se les presentó los estímulos en condiciones de congruencia e incongruencia y que se requiere de una muestra mayor para generalizar los resultados.

En respuesta a esta problemática, resulta necesario el desarrollo e implementación de programas de promoción de la salud y prevención a nivel primario como secundario.  Intervenir en la violencia en el noviazgo durante la adolescencia no solo ayuda a aliviar las complicaciones mencionadas, sino que también actúa como un método de prevención contra la perpetuación de ciclos de violencia en relaciones futuras durante la adultez. Entre las estrategias preventivas más prometedoras se encuentra la educación de los adolescentes en el establecimiento de relaciones de pareja saludables. Esta educación debe ser un esfuerzo colaborativo que involucre la participación activa tanto de padres como de educadores.Por lo tanto, el programa “Me quiero, te quiero” está enfocado en la gestión de relaciones saludables en la adolescencia y su meta es fomentar entre los participantes el conocimiento, las actitudes y las habilidades necesarias para establecer vínculos afectivos libres de violencia. Con este enfoque, se aspira a llenar el vacío existente en programas de este tipo a nivel nacional. Este programa está dirigido a adolescentes de 13 a 19 años, vinculados a instituciones de educación media y universitaria o a organizaciones comunitarias. Consta de siete módulos (10 sesiones) para los adolescentes y dos módulos (dos sesiones) para padres de familia y educadores. Los temas que se abordan son: qué es una relación de pareja; autoestima y valía personal; violencia en el noviazgo; comportamientos saludables en las relaciones de pareja; habilidades de comunicación y resolución de conflictos; regulación emocional; redes de apoyo social; y búsqueda de ayuda, entre otros.En el primer capítulo se presentan los fundamentos teóricos, conceptuales y empíricos del programa. En el segundo, se describe el programa, señalando sus objetivos, características e implementación, para posteriormente presentar cada una de sus sesiones y formas de evaluación y seguimiento.

CURRENT CHALLENGES TO GLOBAL SECURITY: ENERGY, ECONOMIC, FOOD ASPECTS
Authors: Buriachenko O.
Published: October 2024

The author notes that in the twenty-first century, global security has acquired new dimensions in the energy, economic and food sectors, which requires a comprehensive scientific approach and close international cooperation. The author aims to analyze current global security challenges in these aspects and assess their impact on international stability. Among the main threats to economic security, the author notes the current energy crises, rising cost of living, natural disasters, geo-economic confrontations, and social polarization. The Russian-Ukrainian war is seen as a catalyst for these threats, especially for Europe, where energy dependence on the Russian Federation has become critical. The European Union was forced to revise its energy policy, focusing on diversification of energy sources and development of renewable energy sources. The author also notes that after 2022, the world faced new global challenges as a result of the Russian-Ukrainian war, which significantly affected existing economic and social models. One of the main challenges that has emerged is the transformation of the global food security system. Global economic inequalities and currency market volatility have increased economic security risks, which requires reforming international financial institutions and creating mechanisms to prevent economic crises. Problems with access to food and food security affect social stability and public health, making sustainable agricultural production and support for food systems critical. Thus, analyzing the current challenges to global security in the energy, economic and food aspects, the author thoroughly notes that these areas are closely interconnected and interdependent. And in today's context of escalating conflicts, as illustrated by the consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the international community must review, coordinate and take comprehensive measures to strengthen the security component in these areas.

General background: Dysmenorrhea, or menstrual pain, is a condition that disrupts adolescents' daily activities, with prevalence ranging from 16.8% to 81%. It is commonly managed through pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. Specific background: High school students frequently experience dysmenorrhea, which can interfere with their school performance and well-being. Various non-pharmacological methods, such as herbal remedies and thermal therapies, have been proposed to alleviate symptoms. Knowledge gap: Despite the prevalence of dysmenorrhea, limited research focuses on the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions among high school students in Indonesia. Aims: This study aims to describe the severity of dysmenorrhea and the methods of pharmacological and non-pharmacological management among female students of SMA Dharma Wanita 1 Gedangan. Results: This quantitative descriptive study, involving 46 tenth-grade students, revealed that 67.4% of respondents experienced mild dysmenorrhea. Among non-pharmacological treatments, 69.6% consumed turmeric herbal remedies, 15.2% used warm compresses, and 10.9% applied warming lotions. Novelty: The study highlights that all non-pharmacological methods effectively reduced the severity of dysmenorrhea among the students, with turmeric herbal remedies being the most popular choice. Implications: These findings suggest the need for collaboration between healthcare professionals, educational authorities, and schools to provide health education on dysmenorrhea management for female adolescents.

Published: October 2024

Abstract: Digital technology enhances communication and transactions, but unauthorized document modifications necessitate secure electronic signatures due to the risk of unauthorized modifications. This research aims to identify electronic signatures compliant with the ITE Law in Indonesia to ensure their legal validity and enforceability. By utilizing a normative research method with a statute approach, this study examines primary sources, including Law No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions, Ministerial Regulation No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic Certification, and Law No. 71 of 2019 on Electronic Systems and Transactions. The results indicate that electronic signatures must fulfill specific criteria outlined in Article 11 of the ITE Law to be considered legally binding. These criteria require that the data used for the electronic signature is solely associated with the signer and under their control at all times, along with mechanisms to track modifications and identify signers' approval. The novelty of this research lies in its comparative analysis of certified versus non-certified electronic signatures, contributing to a deeper understanding of their legal implications. The implications of this study highlight the necessity for enhanced authentication measures to safeguard the integrity of electronic transactions, ultimately promoting confidence in digital communications and transactions in Indonesia.
Highlights:
 

Electronic signatures improve security in digital transactions.
Compliance with ITE Law ensures legal validity.
Valid signatures require data control and modification tracking.

Published: October 2024

General background of this study examines the role of commercial advertising in marketing, particularly in Sidoarjo Regency. The specific background focuses on whether licensing policies for advertisements account for environmental sustainability. The knowledge gap is the lack of clear distinction between commercial and non-commercial advertisement regulations and their environmental impact. The aims are to analyze Sidoarjo’s advertising licensing procedures, including rules on placement and environmental considerations. The results indicate that while policies exist, unauthorized advertisements still cause environmental harm. The novelty is the focus on integrating environmental aspects into advertising policy. The implications suggest stricter enforcement to protect the environment.
Highlights:

Advertising licensing in Sidoarjo lacks clear distinction between commercial and non-commercial types.
Unauthorized advertisements contribute to environmental degradation, especially in public spaces.
Stronger enforcement and clearer guidelines can improve both regulatory compliance and environmental sustainability.

Nano materials preparation mechanism of planetary ball mill

Published: October 2024

Mechanical ball milling is a planetary ball milling process used to prepare nanomaterials, but its preparation mechanism is still not clear. Previous research has focused more on the influence of various operating parameters of the ball mill, with relatively little attention paid to the motion analysis of the milling balls, resulting in a lack of systematic research. In this study, the motion of milling balls during the mechanical ball milling process for nano fly ash materials was analyzed, taking the unique agglomeration phenomenon during ultrafine grinding into account. A grinding rate coefficient was proposed, and a mechanism function for the preparation of nanomaterials using planetary ball milling was constructed, and its main influencing factors were analyzed and experimentally verified. The results indicate that the order of the influence of the three factors is as follows: grinding medium filling rate > ball milling speed > ball milling time. When the grinding particle size is above 1300 nm, the mechanism function can be directly used, while the particle sizes is below 1300 nm, the mechanism function needs to be combined with the agglomeration level for better accuracy. The calculation error is within 5%. The grinding rate coefficient is only related to the material hardness. By experimentally measuring the grinding rate coefficients of different materials, the mechanism function can be applied to guide the theoretical preparation process of the nanomaterials.
