Published: August 2024

This study aims to examine the influence of the learning model in the pre-scout training setting on the social development of children aged 5-6 years at RA Al-Hidayah, Kabupaten Purwakarta. The subjects of the study comprised 22 children in group B. The research method employed a one-group pre-test post-test design with four pre-scout activities. Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, and interviews with educators. The research variables included pre-scout learning (x) and social development (y). The pre-test results showed an average score of 105.50, indicating a lack of discipline, responsibility, and self-confidence among the children. After the intervention, the average post-test score significantly increased to 160.91. Analysis using the paired sample t-test revealed a significant difference, with a t-test value of -30.820, df = 22, standard deviation = 8.433, and sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000, indicating a significant improvement between the pre-test and post-test results. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that pre-scout learning has a significant impact on the social development of children aged 5-6 years at RA Al-Hidayah. Pre-scout learning has proven effective in integrally enhancing children’s habits, discipline, self-confidence, responsibility, cooperation, knowledge, attitude, and skills in daily life. These findings support pre-scout guidelines that emphasize the importance of activity-based education outside the classroom for the social development of early childhood. Therefore, the integration of pre-scout learning methods into the early childhood education curriculum and the improvement of teacher competence in managing pre-scout activities are highly recommended.

Authors: Yavuz Van Giersbergen Meryem , Akyüz Alper
Published: August 2024

Amputasyon kararı almak bireyler için sarsıcı bir tedavi süreci olup, faaliyetlerinin sonlanması ve ciddi sakatlıkların başlaması olarak algılanabilmekte ve hastaların bilinmezlik yaşamalarına neden olabilmektedir. Mishel'in hastalık teorisindeki belirsizlik kavramı, hastanın ve ailesinin hastalıkla ilgili belirsizlikleri algılayıp yönetme yeteneğini tanımlamaktadır. Bu belirsizlik, uygun bir baş etme süreci oluşturulmadığında sağlık yönetimini olumsuz etkilemekte; komplikasyonların artması, hastanede kalış süresinin uzaması ve maliyetlerin artması gibi istenmeyen sonuçlara yol açabilmektedir. Hemşirelerin hastalar ve ailelerindeki belirsizlik duygusunu azaltıcı müdahaleler uygulaması, bakım kalitesini artırabilmekte ve hasta memnuniyetini artırabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, transtibial amputasyon geçiren hastaların belirsizlikle baş etmelerini sağlamak için gereksinimlerin belirlenmesi ve hemşirelik bakımının bu doğrultuda verilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Aynı zamanda; destekleyici ve bütüncül hemşirelik yaklaşımları ve rehberliğine olanak sağlayan bu kuramın klinik olarak uygulanabileceği paylaşılmıştır.
The Controlled Tongue Prevents Verbal Misdeeds, Slander, Hatred, Bullying, Incivility, Extremism and Radicalism: Islamic Perspective on Ethical Communication
Authors: Afifi Abdullah A
Published: August 2024

This paper discusses the critical issue of ethical communication, specifically controlling the tongue, a concept deeply embedded in Islamic teachings that holds profound relevance in today’s global context. As societies grapple with the pervasive problems of slander (fitna), discord, hatred, and bullying, the simple yet powerful ethical principle of tongue control emerges as a crucial tool for fostering harmony. In modern times, the spread of fake news and hoaxes has been widely discussed as an external threat to social cohesion, yet the internal discipline of speech—whether metaphorical or literal—has received far less attention. This paper seeks to address this gap by exploring how the Islamic insight to control one’s tongue can effectively prevent the spread of fitna, the escalation of hatred, the prevalence of bullying, and the rise of incivility, extremism, and radicalism. Through narrative construction, the paper examines the deep-seated negative impacts of these harmful practices and underscores the significance of verbal discipline in mitigating them. By highlighting the intrinsic value of controlling the tongue, the paper aims to present a holistic approach to curbing not only external threats like misinformation but also the internal moral lapses that contribute to societal discord, thereby promoting a more peaceful and just world in alignment with Islamic ethical principles.

Authors: Bhadana Neha , Chopra Devendra , Tripathi Arvind , Tripathy Debasis
Published: August 2024

Background: Accurate interocclusal records are essential for the successful fabrication of prosthodontic restorations. This study compares the dimensional stability and compressive resistance of three common interocclusal recording materials to determine their suitability for various clinical applications.
Methods: An in vitro study was conducted at the Department of Prosthodontics, Saraswati Dental College & Hospital, Lucknow, in collaboration with the Central Institute for Plastics Engineering and Technology. Thirty samples (ten each of Polyvinylsiloxane, Zinc Oxide Eugenol paste, and Alu Wax) were evaluated for dimensional stability at 1, 24, and 48 hours, and for compressive resistance at 100 gm² and 1000 gm² using a Universal Testing Machine.
Results: Polyvinylsiloxane exhibited superior dimensional stability at all tested intervals compared to Zinc Oxide Eugenol paste and Alu Wax. In terms of compressive resistance, Alu Wax demonstrated the highest resistance at both tested loads, significantly outperforming the other materials. Zinc Oxide Eugenol paste showed the least favorable results in both tests.
Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of material selection in fixed prosthodontics. Polyvinylsiloxane, with its excellent dimensional stability, is ideal for situations requiring precise registration over extended periods. Alu Wax, due to its high compressive resistance, may be preferable under conditions of high mechanical stress. The findings suggest that traditional materials like Zinc Oxide Eugenol may not provide the same level of reliability as newer, more advanced materials.

Overcoming Influenza Vaccination Barriers Through Community Outreach by a Student-Led Mobile Health Clinic
Authors: Karakoleva Ema , Spanos Katherine , Short Hannah , Guare Emma , Lehman Erik , Mendez Miller Megan
Published: August 2024

Background: Nearly half of United States adults were unvaccinated for influenza in 2022. Suboptimal vaccination rates remain a public health challenge affecting individual and community health. Influenza vaccination hesitancy (IVH) and limited access are especially prevalent among underserved communities. A promising way to combat IVH is through student-led community interventions. The organization Student-Run and Collaborative Outreach Program for Health Equity (SCOPE) at the Penn State College of Medicine (PSCOM) collaborated with community leaders to provide free influenza vaccinations in Central Pennsylvania (PA). We aim to analyze the impact of a student-led clinic on vaccination access and characterize vaccination-related community perceptions and behaviors.
Methods: This was a retrospective study. Two health fairs, “Family Wealth Through Health” (FWTH) and HANNA Pantry (HP), in rural PA and urban PA, respectively, were held at the beginning of the flu season (September-October 2022). Surveys assessing vaccine recipient demographics, vaccination status in the previous year, and motivation/intent to vaccinate, were administered. Results were analyzed using chi-square and t-tests.
Results: Of 51 respondents, 18 (35.3%) were from FWTH and 33 (64.7%) from HP. Race differed significantly (p<0.001) between sites but age (p=0.203) and sex (p=0.754) did not. One-fifth were unvaccinated the prior year, with reasons being “forgetting,” “health,” “cost,” and “time.” Six participants received vaccinations despite not planning to. Over half reported “doctor’s office” as preferred location for vaccination, others being “pharmacy”, “community health clinic”, “work”, and “store.” Over 20% received earlier-than-planned vaccination at our clinic. Finally, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) impacted 13.3% of respondents’ willingness to get vaccinated, significantly correlated with prior vaccination status (p=0.011) but not vaccination plans in the current season (p=0.628).
Conclusions: Direct influenza vaccination delivery by medical students in rural and urban Central PA improved vaccination uptake, access, and timeliness. Qualitative analysis revealed sociodemographic factors affecting IVH warranting consideration by student-led clinics.

Authors: Harshali Rohit Kadaskar
Published: August 2024

As mobile applications continue to permeate various aspects of daily life, the demand for intuitive and seamless user experiences intensifies. Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research has long emphasized the importance of user-centric design principles in crafting interfaces that accommodate diverse user needs and preferences. This paper explores the efficacy of gestural interaction as a means to enhance user experience (UX) in mobile application design.
              Drawing on principles from HCI, cognitive psychology, and interaction design, this research investigates the impact of gestural interaction on user engagement, satisfaction, and task performance within mobile applications. Through a mixed-methods approach encompassing user studies, usability testing, and qualitative analysis, the study evaluates the effectiveness of gestural interfaces in facilitating natural interactions and improving overall UX.
              Findings suggest that integrating gestural interaction into mobile application design yields tangible benefits, including increased user engagement, improved task efficiency, and heightened satisfaction levels. Furthermore, the study identifies key design considerations and best practices for implementing gestural interfaces to optimize UX across diverse user demographics and usage contexts.
             This research contributes to the HCI literature by providing empirical evidence supporting the adoption of gestural interaction as a viable strategy for enhancing UX in mobile applications. By prioritizing user-centric design principles and leveraging the inherent affordances of gestural interactions, designers and developers can create more intuitive and immersive mobile experiences that resonate with users and drive sustained engagement.

Published: August 2024

Carbon is a vital component of soil health and plays a crucial role in supporting plant growth andecosystem functioning. By understanding the carbon content and characteristics of roadside grasslandsoil, we can evaluate its fertility and potential for supporting vegetation. Assessing roadside grasslandsoil carbon characteristics is important for understanding soil fertility, carbon sequestration potential,and the impact of human activities on soil health. The investigation includes elemental analysis ofgrassland soil and on that base calculation of ratios, soil organic carbon, soil carbon stocks, the carbondioxide equivalent emissions from SCS soil carbon stocks loss. The samples have more percentage ofelement hydrogen which contribute to anaerobic conditions in grassland soil include waterlogging orpoor drainage, high organic matter content, and compacted soil. The C/N (Carbon to Nitrogen) ratiois low and this is the reason of delayed decomposition and difficulties of nutrient cycling processeswithin the ecosystem. The soil organic carbon varies between 1 % and 2 %. Soil carbon stock between304gC and 474 gC may be considered relatively low. The carbon dioxide equivalent emissions fromSCS soil carbon stocks loss was between 2 and 3 %. This loss in carbon dioxide equivalent emissionsfrom soil carbon stocks can be considered relatively low and potentially beneficial. Implementingpractices that promote carbon sequestration, such as reducing soil disturbance, implementing covercropping, and adopting sustainable land management practices, can help mitigate soil carbon lossand reduce emissions.Keywords: soil organic carbon, soil carbon stocks, CO2 equivalent emissions.

Authors: Georgiev Tihomir , Koleva Elena
Published: August 2024

Contrast agents in radiology improve visualisation and iodine-based ones are applied in different radiology techniques. Energies, used in these techniques, vary in a very wide range. The energies can be as low as 26 kVp in mammography and reach up to 140 - 150 kVp in computed tomography. Dual-energy studies can also be applied. X-ray images of resin phantoms with iodine-based contrast base are taken at different energies and the image pixel values of various regions of interest were measured. Based on the performed measurements, the visual contrast between the studied different areas is calculated and analysed. The obtained data are applied for the estimation of models for the expected pixel values depending on the energies and the contrast agent quantities. These models canbe used to describe the real conditions, which differ from the applicable to theoretical calculations ideal conditions.

Authors: Pare Mandi Tandi , Pulubuhu Dwia Aries Tina , Abdullah Suparman , . Sakaria
Published: August 2024

Background: South Sulawesi, Indonesia, is home to four main ethnic groups—Toraja, Makassar, Bugis, and Mandar—with the Luwu ethnic group comprising twelve sub-tribes. While often associated with the Bugis, the Luwu people identify themselves as Luwuese and maintain their cultural distinctiveness through practices like consensus deliberation and gotong-royong, which foster unity and manage cultural tensions. Objective: The aim of this research is to explain the social dynamics of twelve tribal children and the process of social integration taking place between them. Method: The research employed a qualitative approach, utilizing observations and in-depth interviews for data collection. It applied interpretive understanding to analyze the dynamics among twelve tribal children, integrating both macro-level and micro-level theories. The study focused on how social interaction serves as a means of implementing social values, enabling coexistence within social relationships. Results: The results showed that associative social relationships were established by strengthening solidarity among the twelve tribal children living in Tana Luwu. Although there are differences in culture, customs and religion that shape the social life of the community, the community is still able to build good social relationships through the process of cooperation, adaptation, assimilation and acculturation. Dissociative social relationships are managed by minimizing the possibility of conflict from the relationship process of competition and controversy. Conclusion: Integration within a society can stem from conflict or from respecting cultural values and enforcing traditional laws. In Luwu society, integration is achieved through a philosophical life attitude that unifies the community, while traditional customary law serves as social control, guiding the community towards a balanced social system.

Adding Bricks to Clicks and Clicks to Bricks: Going the Omnichannel Way
Authors: Wadhwa Parul
Published: August 2024

In a world that is becoming more globalised, businesses are looking for innovative methods to improve the customer experience. Customers use all of the retail channels available to them simultaneously, reject some, or adopt new ones (such as, making use of smartphone in an offline outlet). Retailers have to offer a consistent as well as seamless experience throughout the buying journey of consumers to compete in the present business environment. Despite increase in adoption of omni-channel retailing in India, still ambiguity prevails regarding omnichannel. The basic aim of this research is to understand the omni-channel nature using research articles. With the help of a theoretical framework, this paper explains this emerging dimension of retailing. We conducted an examination of the articles using content analysis to organize the definitions and grasp the primary attributes of omni-channel retailing, aiming to enhance our comprehension of the term. With the help of this analysis, we have identified three methods for delineating omni-channel retailing: a seamless buying experience, channel integration and a fusion of both. Having a thorough awareness of this concept will help researchers, practitioners and academicians in further enquiry.
The 1941 June Uprising in Pušalotas Rural Area of Panevėžys County
Authors: Jaskelevičius Tadas
Published: August 2024

The 1941 June uprising in Pušalotas rural area of Panevėžys County was the acme of the anti-Soviet resistance that had been taking place at the time. The main reason for the participation of the population of Pušalotas rural area in the 1941 June uprising was their patriotism: like many people in Lithuania, the rebels were convinced that the Germans will free Lithuania from the Soviets and the country will regain its independence. Preparations for the uprising in Pušalotas rural area were made in advance. Since the start of the Soviet occupation, future rebels amassed arms and ammunition. Partisans began their operations on the second day of the war between Germany and the USR . In stage one (in the first days) of the uprising, squads of rebels were formed in various locations of the rural area. Later they merged into one large unit with the command in the town of Pušalotas (from the very beginning of the uprising there was only one rebel command in Pušalotas rural area). During the uprising, the partisans sought their main goal to restore the independence of Lithuania. As a result, they actively fought against the Red Army troops retrieving across Pušalotas rural area and arrested local Soviet activists.
The characteristic feature of the 1941 June uprising in Pušalotas rural area was that it was very erratic: initially, the rebels quickly took the power into their hands, but were soon forced out by Red Army forces which outnumbered the rebels, and later again managed to regain control over the area. During the combat with the Red Army troops, NKVD personnel, militia men and Soviet activists, two rebels were killed; at least eight lives were lost on the Soviet side. At least 28 civilians were arrested on suspicion that they were Soviet activists. If suspicions were not confirmed, those persons were released. Based on the archival sources, it was not established that any civilian had been shot in Pušalotas rural area during the uprising.
During the uprising, on 23–26 June 1941, the Jews of Pušalotas were not massively persecuted. There were instances of individual persecution. During the uprising, the rebels detained six Jews. At least one of them was executed in July 1941, the fate of the remaining five people is not known, but it is likely that they may have been executed in July–August 1941. The archival sources indicate that the main reason for the persecution of the Jews during the uprising was the suspicion that they were Soviet activists.
At least 96 people and another 90 local residents could have taken part in the uprising in Pušalotas rural area, but there is no archival data to confirm or deny this.

A Psychological Portrait of a Participant of the Unarmed Resistance
Authors: Masiulionytė Asta
Published: August 2024

The article provides a new approach, which allows analysing the history of the unarmed resistance within the context of its active participants. With the emphasis on personal experience and the analysis of its subjective evaluation, a psychological portrait (in a broad sense) of a participant of the unarmed resistance is identified. The aim of the article is to draw a psychological portrait of a participant of the unarmed resistance based on individual experience of political and religious unarmed resistance by its participants and subjective assessment of this experience in both the Soviet period and the period of independent Lithuania.
In order to achieve this aim, the following objectives are implemented : 1) analysis of the circumstances for involvement in the unarmed anti-Soviet resistance, types of involvement, and subjective evaluation of the involvement by the participants themselves; 2) clarification of the trends in the attitudes of the participants in the unarmed anti-Soviet resistance towards their activities within the context of their experience of various encounters with the Soviet offensive; 3) exploration of the key aspects in the experience concerning persecution, searches, interrogations, and enforcement of sentences that reveal the most important traits of the person’s character and their dynamics; 4) research of the trends of the consistency in personality of the participants in the unarmed anti-Soviet resistance within the context of the independent Lithuania; 5) comparison of the psychological portraits of the participants of religious and political unarmed resistance in the Soviet period and the period of independent Lithuania.
Based on the research, it may be concluded that the involvement in the unarmed anti-Soviet resistance is related to the models of such behaviour in the closest environment, which affected the main directions of resistance activities, their communal nature and attitudes towards individual anti-Soviet resistance. Trends in subjective assessment of these activities – most clearly manifested in the experience in labour camps and exile and associated with the formation, ascertaining, maintenance and defence of the individual system of values – were determined by direct interaction with the activities of the Soviet security services. The wish to foresee and control the actions of the opposition or unfavourable situations, permanent questioning of the social status of the opposition, and suspicion and mistrust, which are not generalised more broadly, are elements of the psychological portrait best revealed in the direct contact with the interrogation procedures of the Soviet security services, court proceedings and imprisonment. Portraits of the participants of the unarmed religious resistance reveal their more favourable attitude towards security personnel and giving meaning to their prison experience manifest in their interpersonal relations in a general sense, within the context of evaluation of their personality and their relationship with the world.

Research on condensed matter in the time dimension is also described. It turns out that phenomena such as Anderson’s localization, multi-body localization or topological phases can be investigated in the time domain. In the future, one can expect time-tronics, that is, construction of useful devices that use crystalline structures in time.
Is the Galilean law of free fall an a priori truth?
Authors:   Wydział Filozofii Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, Bigaj Tomasz
Published: August 2024

In this short note I discuss Galileo’s well-known a priori argument against Aristotle’s law of free fall, presented in a modern mathematical version. I show that the argument does not prove that the rate of fall should be constant for all bodies, unless we presuppose that the rate of fall is a function of one additive parameter. However, it is perfectly possible that the rate of fall will be given in the form of the ratio of two additive parameters, in which case the argument does not go through.

The article presents the phenomenon of milk diffusion in coffee, considered from the perspective of the dynamic of vortices forming during the process. They are illustrated using data obtained with a thermal imaging camera. The measurements showed the dependence of vortices’ properties on the factors such as the temperature of the fluids, the volume ratio or the direction and speed of rotation of the disc on which the cup is placed. On the basis of the identified instability effects, simulation, that shows the approximate course of the phenomenon, was created.The analysis also showed similarities to larger-scale phenomena, such as the mechanism of hurricane formation.

Pembelajaran hendaknya mengedepankan keaktifan siswa dalam memperoleh pengetahuan dengan berbagai cara sehingga pengetahuan yang diperoleh bermakna bagi dirinya. Pengetahuan yang diperoleh bersumber dari pengalaman yang ditemukannya sendiri dan menempatkan dirinya sebagai subjek belajar. Pembelajaran dengan konsep ini disebut dengan pembelajaran penemuan (Discovery Learning). Pembelajaran discovery learning menuntut adanya kemampuan siswa dalam menerapkan metode ilmiah dengan keaktifan tinggi dalam menemukan pengetahuan yang bermakna bagi dirinya. Model pembelajaran ini memfasilitasi siswa untuk berfikir kritis, bertindak kreatif, dan produktif, serta terampil dalam berkolaborasi. Implementasinya menuntut siswa untuk belajar menemukan, memecahkan masalah dan menarik kesimpulan sendiri. Langkah- langkah ilmiah ditempuh agar tidak terjadi kekeliruan dalam pengolahan informasi, sehingga pengetahuan baru yang diperoleh adalah pengetahuan yang benar, serta melatih siswa untuk terbiasa mengemukakan berbagai hal berdasarkan bukti-bukti yang akurat. Discovery learning menimbulkan keingintahuan dan motivasi siswa untuk terus melanjutkan tugas mereka hingga menemukan jawaban dari permasalahan. Selain itu, discovery learning juga membiasakan siswa untuk terampil dalam menyelesaikan masalah secara mandiri dan reflektif. Mandiri yang dimaksud adalah tidak bergantung pada apa yang disampaikan oleh guru, tetapi siswa dapat mengkonstruksi sendiri pengetahuannya melalui aktifitas penemuan dan diskusi. Dalam pembelajaran siswa aktif mencari tahu dan tidak lagi diberi tahu. Selain itu, discovery learning merupakan salah satu model pembelajaran yang direkomendasikan dalam kurikulum 2013.
