Authors: Abdullah Siti Huzaimah , Nordin Zaimuariffudin Shukri
Published: July 2024

Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) are a vital aspect in the transformation of the education system in Malaysia. However, thinking skills are less effectively implemented in the Malaysian education system, leading to a lack of Higher- Order Thinking (HOT) skills among Malaysian pupils. One of the factors contributing to this problem is the teaching approach used by teachers during teaching and learning sessions in the classroom. The presence of students with a variety of learning styles, interests, and levels of ability in a classroom has been a challenge for teachers to undertake teaching and learning activities and subsequently the established teaching and learning objectives. According to the 2022 International Student Assessment Programme Report (PISA), Malaysia is ranked 53rd out of 81 participating countries, which is the lowest ranking when compared to other countries. This is the result of the student's inability to answer assessment questions that require high-level thinking skills. The same situation also occurred where Malaysia’s performance in the Trend in International Mathematical and Scientific Studies (TIMSS) programme in 2019 showed that Malaysia was ranked 26th out of 39 participating countries. (TIMSS 2019). Differentiated Pedagogy (DP) is proposed as a solution, as it meets the learning needs and backgrounds of students who are different from the abilities aspect. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of different pedagogy methods on the improvement of higher-order thinking skills within 5th-year primary school pupils in science subjects. The study was conducted using an experimental method by implementing differentiated pedagogical learning on a sample of 40 pupils selected purposefully from a school in the Meradong district. The sample of this study was divided by class, which was Year 5 of St. Thomas (n = 20) was used as a control group taught using conventional teaching methods, and Year 5 of St. Matthew (n = 20) was assigned to an experimental group taught using Differentiated Pedagogy method. The sample was given a high-level thinking skills test to determine the performance of pupils before and thereafter the implementation of differentiated pedagogy in learning the unit of 'Matter'. The results of this study indicated an improvement in higher-order thinking skills (HOTs) application in the treatment group that was taught utilizing differentiated pedagogy compared to that of the control group. This study suggests the use of this differentiated pedagogy in other schools as well as in other subjects.

Published: July 2024

This research discusses Energy Audit at SMKN 3 Kuningan with the objective of evaluating the energy consumption intensity (IKE) in the buildings of SMKN 3 Kuningan. The methodology applied in this research involves measuring energy consumption through an energy audit and evaluating the measurement results based on IKE. The results obtained from data processing show that the total electrical energy consumption of the SMKN 3 Kuningan buildings is 112,613.11 kWh/year. Electrical energy consumption in air-conditioned rooms accounts for 80% of the total energy consumption, with electrical energy usage of 7,473 kWh/month, while non-air-conditioned rooms account for 20% of the total energy consumption, with an energy usage of 1,854 kWh/month. The calculated IKE value for air-conditioned rooms in SMKN 3 Kuningan buildings is 1.88 kWh/m²/month. Therefore, the air-conditioned rooms of SMKN 3 Kuningan buildings fall into the very efficient category as the IKE value is < 8.5 kWh/m²/month. The calculated IKE value for the non-air-conditioned rooms in SMKN 3 Kuningan buildings is 0.25 kWh/m²/month. Thus, the non-air-conditioned rooms of SMKN 3 Kuningan buildings fall into the very efficient category as the IKE value is < 3.4 kWh/m²/month. Both air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned rooms in the SMKN 3 Kuningan buildings meet the criteria for very efficient energy consumption intensity. Nevertheless, further research on energy saving opportunities can still be conducted to minimize electricity consumption costs at SMKN 3 Kuningan.

Authors: Luthfi Arian Nugraha
Published: July 2024

This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of various penetration testing methods in identifying and mitigating XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) vulnerabilities in web applications. XSS is a type of web security attack that takes advantage of weaknesses in web applications to insert malicious code into web pages displayed to users. This attack can steal user data, take over user sessions, or spread malware. This research uses a penetration testing method with a black-box approach, where the researcher does not know the construction of the system being tested. Tests were conducted on 10 random websites, including 5 open-source websites and 5 commercial websites. The test results show that the payload method used is effective in exploiting XSS vulnerabilities on some websites. Of the 10 websites tested, 6 of them were successfully exploited using different payload methods. This research highlights the importance of using open-source penetration testing tools in detecting and addressing security vulnerabilities in web applications. These tools are easy to implement, supported by extensive documentation, and have a strong community. This research also emphasizes the importance of a deep understanding of how penetration testing tools work to identify and address security vulnerabilities. To address XSS vulnerabilities, this research recommends good programming techniques such as programming language updates, use of OOP (Object-Oriented Programming), MVC (Model-View-Controller) concepts, and use of frameworks. Further research can be done to develop and test new payload methods, explore the use of other penetration testing tools, and test security vulnerabilities in other types of web applications.

Authors: Ekrika Awajiokinor , Alikor Oroma
Published: July 2024

The study examines the application of ASSURE model in lesson development and delivery among teachers in Rivers State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The population of the study is 12, 988 teachers of basic education, Krejcre Morgan sampling size table was used to arrive at 371 out of which only 365 teachers participated (175 male and 190 female) drawn from rural and urban schools (168 rural and 197 urban schools teachers) of the study area. Teachers’ Assessment on application of ASSURE Model (TAAM) questionnaire was developed by the researchers using the phases of ASSURE model. The questionnaires was given face validity by experts of Educational Technology and Measurement and Evaluation from Department of Educational Foundations, Rivers State University Port Harcourt. TAAM was tested among 20 teachers who were not involved in the study within Oyigbo metropolis, Rivers State and a reliability of 0.71 was obtained using Kuder-Richardson Formula (KR-21). The findings revealed that ASSURE model were applied in lesson development and delivery to a high extent. However, the findings also revealed the phases of the models where teachers were yet to apply to a high extent. Thus, it was recommended that adequate supervisions and sensitisation through workshop be given to enhance teachers’ capacity in the analysis of learners’ characteristics, selection of technology, media and stating of objectives appropriately and adequately.
Defiance through rediscovery
Authors: Khine Isabel L. M.
Published: July 2024

This article seeks to explore the complicated role that the memoir form of Thant Myint-U’s text, The River of Lost Footsteps, plays in the development of a combined national identity and literature in the context of Burma. The River of Lost Footsteps is read as a literary foray into Burmese sociopolitical history that is focalised through Thant Myint-U’s necessarily personalised lens. Through an exploration of “Burmese english” as a radical linguistic act of reclamation and rediscovery, this polemic comes to the conclusion that an understanding of language as a material pursuit is essential to the process of achieving the self-direction of formerly colonised nations and nation-states. I reach this conclusion by developing an argument that deploys the scope of a distinctively racialised authorial perspective. In doing so, post-colonialism can be construed as a twofold operation; to be postcolonial is to be theorised as such, but it also enacts post-colonialism through language use as a means of resistance against the naturalised imperial project of both past and present.
critical assessment of the evidence for selective female infanticide as a cause of the Viking Age
Authors: Stewart Edward
Published: July 2024

There currently exists in the study of Viking archaeology a strong support for the theory, popularised by Barrett (2015), that selective female infanticide in the Late Scandinavian Iron Age to Early Viking Age resulted in the sudden expansion of Scandinavian influence, through raiding, invading, and trading, across Europe that categorises the Viking age. This paper aims to critique the evidence for selective female infanticide as a cause of the Viking age and suggests that it may have been only a partial factor in causing the Viking Age. This paper will review the current literature on the subject and consider the evidence currently available, Archaeological and literary, in order to critique this currently dominant theory.

Street Names of Inverness
Authors: Dutt Varshneyee
Published: July 2024

Onomastic evidence offers a unique opportunity for us to understand and reflect upon what we find important enough to notice and lend a name to. This paper studies the street nomenclature of Inverness, a city of key importance throughout Scottish history, to explore what can be inferred about its political, religious and historical past from its street naming patterns and priorities. At its core, this paper surveys the diachronic development of Inverness by looking at maps and town plans from different time periods and qualitatively analyzing the ways in which they represent the fundamental ethos of the city.
War of Narratives
Authors: Zhang Zhengyi
Published: July 2024

This paper explores the intricate strategic narratives that China employs in its policy towards Taiwan. Through concentric analyses, it dissects China’s narratives towards Taiwan at three levels: system-level narratives, identity narratives and issue narratives. At the systemic level, China’s narrative aims to position Taiwan’s status under the broader goal of national unity and territorial integrity, emphasising the one-China policy and opposing external intervention. Identity narratives delve into shared history, culture, and nationalism to reinforce claims to Taiwan as part of China’s inherent identity and destiny. Issue narratives, on the other hand, focus on interpreting specific events, portraying reunification with Taiwan as legitimate, inevitable and a matter of national pride. This paper also mentions counter-narratives in Taiwan that emphasise Taiwan’s democratic values, unique identity and the challenges posed by China’s hard-line policies. The analysis reveals how these narratives contribute to increasing China’s international influence, undermining Taiwan’s legitimacy, and fuelling domestic nationalism, while also potentially influencing strategic responses across the region and around the world.
Polysemous Tradition as a Common Basis for Ideological Resistance in Windsor Forest and The Communist Manifesto
Authors: Mullen Rory
Published: July 2024

This paper delves into the nuanced use of tradition as a foundation for ideological resistance in Alexander Pope’s “Windsor Forest” and Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels’ “The Communist Manifesto.” Despite their divergent contexts—Pope’s text emerging from early 18th-century England and the Manifesto from mid-19th-century industrializing Europe—both works leverage historical and literary traditions to critique and resist dominant ideologies of their times. “Windsor Forest” subtly confronts ideologies of Protestant ascendancy and anti-Catholic sentiment prevalent in England following the Glorious Revolution of 1688, promoting peace and the unity of Great Britain under Queen Anne’s Stuart monarchy as alternatives to war and division. Through literary devices such as allegory and panegyric, Pope employs tradition not only to question the contemporary political and social landscape but to posit the Stuart dynasty as a symbol of national prosperity and harmony.
Contrastingly, “The Communist Manifesto” openly challenges the capitalist ideology that Marx and Engels argue perpetuates class struggle and exploitation of the proletariat. The Manifesto calls for a revolutionary overhaul of the social order, drawing on traditions of socialist thought and the historical precedent of class struggle to justify its radical aims. Despite its revolutionary stance, the Manifesto similarly relies on the manipulation of tradition—both embracing and rejecting it—to articulate a vision of communist society.
Both texts, therefore, are situated at the intersection of literary expression and ideological conflict, illustrating how tradition can serve as a versatile tool in the articulation of resistance. Whether through the invocation of historical continuity and national identity in “Windsor Forest” or the revolutionary call to arms in “The Communist Manifesto,” tradition is employed to critique existing social and political orders. The abstract underscores the complexity of these texts’ engagement with tradition, highlighting their shared emphasis on the transformative potential of ideological resistance. This comparison illuminates the rich dialogues between literature and politics, demonstrating how textual analysis can reveal deeper insights into the mechanisms of ideological critique and resistance.
Monstrous Races in the Medieval English Psalter World Map
Authors: Przygodzka Marta
Published: July 2024

This article examines medieval Monstrous Races in the Psalter World Map from the thirteenth-century English Map Psalter (British Library, Add. MS 28681). It suggests the map’s reading as a pictorial expression of liminality situated in a to- and fro-ing between conceptions of Us/the Self and Them/the Other. I consider how the map exiles the Monstrous Races through spatially articulated geographical distance; inserts Them into notions of Us via inclusion in God’s salvation plan; and gestures towards a category crisis in the Us-Them divide by celebrating England’s own peripheral placement on the mappa mundi’s border. The border-space which constitutes the nexus of my investigation extends to encompass the Psalter World Map’s materiality and the self-definition by means of difference enacted by the reader-viewer in corporeal terms.
legacy of sovereignty
Authors: Hiscox Benjamin
Published: July 2024

The study of democratic transition, or what makes some nations more conducive to the rise of democratic institutions than others, is vitally important in the modern world. Lithuania and Belarus are generally overlooked by literature on the subject of democratisation, but, due to their long historical ties and very different political paths since they established independence from the USSR, they provide an interesting case study into the historical reasons for the adoption of certain political systems. In brief, this article will deal with why since 1991 Lithuania has become democratic, whilst Belarus has become increasingly autocratic. To do this I compared the historical legacy of the interwar years in both states and focussed on the effects this period had on post-independence politics. This research revealed crucial differences, in that Lithuania’s experience of independent statehood laid the foundations for the later transition to democracy, whilst the failure to establish a sovereign Belarusian state made continued authoritarian rule far more likely. Overall this showed the importance of historical legacies when attempting to establish democracy.
Positive liberty
Authors: Macpherson David P.
Published: July 2024

Freedom is a word we hear a lot. Yet it is often unclear what is meant by it. Recent anti-terrorism laws have been argued by some as safeguarding freedoms and argued by others as restricting them. In this paper, I aim to create and defend an explanation of the nature of freedom that is practical and useful. Through offering a set of criteria, and answering potential criticisms, I conclude that “freedom” must consider people’s strongest desires and take into account the multitude of internal barriers to the fulfilment of these desires. Such a definition will hopefully help us gain a clearer understanding of when our liberty is under threat: putting us in a better position to defend it.
