Authors: Heinekamp Christian , Castells-Gil Javier , Allan Phoebe K. , Ahrens Mike , Bui Minh , Braun Thomas , Emmerling Franziska
Published: February 2025

Amorphous metal chlorofluorides are an important class of heterogeneous catalysts for C–F bond activation. Linking their structure to catalytic properties is challenging due to their lack of crystallinity. Here, we present X-ray and neutron scattering data of three metal chlorofluorides – AlF2.9Cl0.1; ZrF3.93Cl0.07; AlF2.74Cl0.12(OTeF5)0.14 – interpreted using models from empirical potential structure refinements (EPSR). Initial models indicate that the local coordination of the aluminium and zirconium, and halogen bridging modes may be more nuanced than in previous models. The study demonstrates the potential of X-ray/neutron scattering combined with EPSR to improve the understanding of amorphous heterogeneous catalysts.

Published: February 2025

Aim. Identification of a complex of clinical and anamnestic predictors of an unfavorable long-term prognosis in patients with heart failure with low left ventricular ejection fraction and an implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD).
Materials and methods. In 260 patients with heart failure with low left ventricular ejection fraction and ICD included in the ”Kuzbass Register of Patients with ICD”, data were obtained on the status of alive/dead, causes of death and cardiovascular events during a 4-year follow-up period. The clinical-instrumental and socio-demographic parameters entered into the register before ICD implantation were used to compile a prognostic regression model.
Results. A total of 348 cardiovascular events (endpoints) were recorded, of which 54 were deaths. The main cause of death in 48 (88.9%) patients was acute decompensated heart failure. According to the multivariate regression analysis, the factors that increase the risk of an unfavorable long-term outcome included in the prognostic model were: the level of systolic pressure in the pulmonary artery, the thickness of the interventricular septum, social status, the presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the low ejection fraction of the left ventricle and the absence of a renin-blocker angiotensin-aldosterone system (model sensitivity – 70%, specificity – 75.9%, AUC=0.8).
Conclusion. The use of a predictive model in clinical practice will make it possible to personalize approaches to making a decision on the need for ICD implantation and further monitoring of patients in order to improve their survival.

Published: February 2025

This study, conducted in Parbat district, Nepal, aimed to comprehensively examine the economic aspects of rice production, involving an in-depth analysis of farmers’ socioeconomic status, production factors, inputs, and challenges faced. The research employed pre-tested interview schedules, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and Key Informant Surveys (KIS) for primary data collection, supplemented by secondary information from relevant publications. Using simple random sampling, data were gathered from 125 farmers, classified as small-scale and large-scale based on their average land holdings devoted to rice cultivation. Statistical tools including SPSS and Microsoft Excel were utilized for data analysis. The study revealed that the land area dedicated to rice cultivation averaged 6.08 ropani. Human labor was a predominant input, alongside seed, tillage, organic and chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and transportation, employed by both small and large farms. Production per household amounted to 1177.44 kg, with a productivity rate of 217.96 kg/ropani. Notably, there was a significant disparity in production per household, with small-scale farms yielding 971.2 kg and large-scale farms producing 1585 kg. The study estimated the total average cost, gross revenue, and gross margin per ropani as NPR. 12188.79, NPR. 18295.09, and NPR. 6106.29, respectively, resulting in an average benefit-cost ratio of 1.5. The Cobb Douglas production function analysis indicated that inputs such as human labor, tillage, organic manures, pesticides, and transportation positively influenced income, while chemical fertilizers costs had a negative impact. The computed return to scale value of 0.95 signified decreasing returns in rice production in Parbat district. Consequently, the study recommends addressing issues related to the quality of inputs and other challenges to maximize production and income in the region.

Published: February 2025

There are differing opinions in the field of cognitive sciences when it comes to the role of sex in language acquisition. Men and women exhibit differences in their speaking and writing ability as a result of their distinct social roles throughout evolution. These disparities are equally, if not more, evident in students, both during normal and abnormal growth. In addition to the well-documented advantage that girls have in early language development, it is noteworthy that the majority of developmental problems that predominantly impact communication, speech, and language skills are more prevalent in boys. This article seeks to elucidate the disparities between sex regarding ordinary communication and language development, as well as the disparities in the occurrence of neurodevelopmental disorders connected to communication. Additionally, particular attention is given to data derived from the field of neuroscience, which may offer valuable insights into the neurological mechanisms that contribute to the comprehension of this event. We contend that the structural arrangement of the female brain confers women with an innate edge in developing communication and language systems compared to men. Divergent perspectives are present on the differentiation between sex within the field of cognitive sciences. The talks are founded upon clinical, social, and political perspectives. The evolutionary and biological perspectives have often emphasized arguments related to 'nature', whereas feminist and constructivist viewpoints have often emphasized arguments related to 'nurture' when discussing cognitive sex differences. This narrative review provides a comprehensive analysis of the origins and historical evolution of these arguments, as well as a summary of the findings in the field of sexually polymorphic cognition. By adopting multidisciplinary techniques, we aim to highlight the importance of interconnecting disciplines and gaining a more comprehensive knowledge of the precise factors that contribute to sex differences and gender diversity in cognitive capacities.

Permukiman informal seringkali berkembang menjadi struktur yang lebih formal namun sulit untuk diidentifikasi secara jelas. Hal ini disebabkan oleh prinsip informalitas belum sepenuhnya dipahami secara teoritis, terutama pada spasial. Dari sudut pandang teritorial, permukiman informal sering tidak terlihat dalam struktur kota formal, bahkan jalanannya tidak tercatat dalam peta formal. Untuk  memahami prinsip informalitas dalam proses perkembangan permukiman informal, langkah awal yang diperlukan adalah melakukan tinjauan literatur. Tujuan studi literatur dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan prinsip dasar informalitas dalam permukiman informal perkotaan. Metode penelusuran literatur informalitas permukiman informal menggunakan analisis bibliometrik, State of The Art, etimologi, teoretis dan studi kasus di beberapa negara wilayah global selatan sebagai referensi. Adapun hasil tinjauan literatur: 1) Analisis Bibliometrik Vosviewer menghasilkan lima klasterisasi yaitu informal settlement, informal settlements, housing, urban development dan urban morphology; 2) subyek permukiman informal erat dengan urbanisasi, informalitas, perubahan iklim, daerah terbangun dan hunian terjangkau; 3) lokus permukiman informal umumnya terkonsentrasi di pusat kota, bangunan hunian, slum, squater, dan negara berkembang; 4) Informalitas permukiman informal perkotaan muncul dan tumbuh secara generatif melalui pengorganisasian mandiri dan kumpulan adaptif sebagai strategi bermukim, berkembang dengan spontan, tidak terdaftar dan ilegal; 5) Mode produksi permukiman informal adalah irregular (sporadis), inferior, insecure (tidak terjamin), illegal (ilegal), insurgent (perlawanan), incremental (inkremental) dan improvisation (improvisasi). Informalitas dalam permukiman informal diawali dengan urbanisasi informal, mencakup praktik-praktik spasial permukiman yang berasal dari ide dan inisiatif para pemukim. Secara teknis terbentuk di luar jangkauan peraturan, tidak terkendali dan tidak terencana.

This study investigated the effectiveness of the cooperative learning model Teams Games Tournament (TGT) assisted by Physics Ludo media in enhancing students' understanding of Newton's laws of gravity. Conducted at SMA Negeri 14 Bekasi City, the research involved an experimental group (grade 10 Science 1) using the TGT model and a control group (grade 10 Science 3) following conventional teaching methods. Pretest and posttest scores were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, independent samples t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test to determine the impact of the intervention. The results revealed that both the experimental group (Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, p = 5.82×10⁻¹¹) and the control group (p = 5.26×10⁻⁸) showed significant improvements in posttest scores compared to their pretest scores. Additionally, an Independent Samples t-Test indicated that the experimental group scored significantly higher than the control group in the posttest (t = 10.80, p = 2.16×10⁻¹⁶). The Mann-Whitney U Test further demonstrated that the experimental group had greater improvement scores than the control group (U = 1225.0, p = 4.79×10⁻¹³). These statistical findings confirm the effectiveness of the TGT model with Physics Ludo. Moreover, survey feedback showed high levels of student engagement and motivation, with the majority finding the learning approach engaging and beneficial for understanding physics concepts. These findings highlighted the potential of game-based cooperative learning models to transform traditional educational practices, suggesting that further research and broader application could lead to enhanced learning outcomes in various subjects.

In the digital era, computational thinking skills are essential for students to succeed in science education, including physics. However, traditional teaching methods often fail to cultivate these skills effectively. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the problem-solving laboratory learning model in enhancing students' computational thinking skills, specifically in alternating current electricity topics. The research employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach, involving 35 twelfth-grade students from a public high school in Banjar City, West Java, Indonesia. Data were collected using observation sheets to assess problem-solving laboratory implementation and computational thinking skill tests. The problem-solving laboratory model was implemented effectively, achieving an average implementation success rate of 78.4%. The analysis revealed a significant improvement in students' computational thinking skills, with an average N-gain score of 0.73, categorized as high. Among the computational thinking indicators, abstraction showed the highest improvement, followed by decomposition, data analysis, pattern recognition, and algorithmic thinking. These results suggest that the problem-solving laboratory model provides an effective framework for fostering computational thinking skills through hands-on problem-solving activities and structured learning processes. The study recommends integrating the problem-solving laboratory model into other physics topics and broader educational contexts to enhance students' 21st-century competencies. Future research should consider incorporating control groups and extending the scope to explore long-term impacts across diverse learning environments.

Critical thinking is one of the essential skills required of students in the 21st century. This research aims to provide an overview of students' critical thinking skills at in high school while studying the concept of Newton's Laws. Critical thinking skills refer to the cognitive processes employed by students to analyze and evaluate information effectively, enabling sound decision-making. The research method used is a descriptive-quantitative approach, involving a population of 130 students and a purposive sample of 60 students. Data were collected using a critical thinking test comprising 31 multiple-choice questions, addressing four indicators: interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and inference. The result of the study show that students' performance on the interpretation indicator predominantly fell into the low category, with 53.33%. Critical thinking skills for the analytical indicator were similarly low, at 38.33%. Critical thinking skills for evaluation were also categorized as low, at 43.33%. Meanwhile, critical thinking skills for inference were slightly better, being in the medium category at 46.67%. In general, students' critical thinking abilities at SMAN 5 Sidrap were primarily low, with 60% of students falling into this category. One of the factors causing students' poor critical thinking skills is the infrequent exposure to exercises designed to measure these skills. Therefore, implementing learning models that actively enhance critical thinking skills is essential.
