Authors: Ana Rahmalia  , Saprudin Saprudin
Published: October 2023

Table manner merupakan salah satu bentuk budaya dalam aspek etika, adat, istiadat, tradisi, dan perilaku atau kebiasaan masyarakatnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti tentang elemen-elemen dalam table manner masyarakat Jepang yang dapat mencerminkan ajaran konfusianisme sebagai ajaran yang melatarbelakangi budaya di kawasan Asia Timur. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan mendeskripsikan data yang diperoleh sesuai dengan fenomena yang terjadi di masyarakat. Pendekatan yang digunakan merupakan pendekatan fenomenologi sebagai jembatan dalam mengungkap realitas di balik fenomena yang terjadi guna menunjang penelitian mengenai budaya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya 4 ajaran konfusianisme yang diterapkan dalam table manner masyarakat Jepang adalah Ren, Li, Xiao, dan Lian. Lebih lengkapnya yakni: Ren memiliki arti cinta kasih/kemanusiaan (makan dalam posisi duduk di atas tatami), Li memiliki arti tata krama (etika dalam penggunaan sumpit dan posisi tubuh ketika makan), Xiao memiliki arti menhormati dan menghargai (mengucapkan “itadakimasu” sebelum makan dan “gochisousama deshita” setelah makan), dan Lian memiliki arti kebersihan (etika membersihkan tangan menggunakan handuk atau oshibori). Melalui penelitian ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa table manner yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat Jepang memang merefleksikan bentuk penerapan ajaran konfusianisme di Asia Timur.

Dari hasil penelitian yang ada, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kampanye ular tangga AkSi (AntiKorupsi) dapat meningkatkan kesadaran anak-anak dalam pemahaman antikorupsi namun kekurangan penelitian ini belum ada sistem untuk memantau perilaku responden ke depannya.
 
Corruption is a serious problem that can undermine the integrity and development of a country. To address this issue, it is important to start prevention efforts early, including involving children as the future generation of integrity. In the "Ular Tangga Aksi" campaign implemented in JImbaran, Bali, the focus is on elementary school children. This campaign is designed to teach children about the importance of anti-corruption and provide an understanding of ethics, honesty, and transparency. Through interactive and educational snake and ladder games, children are invited to understand these concepts in a fun way. The results of the research, based on pre-test and post-test questionnaires, as well as opinion surveys conducted with the respondents, indicate that this game is effective in enhancing their awareness of corruption and motivating them to become agents of change in the fight against corruption through an understanding of the values of integrity and an active role in spreading anti-corruption messages. From the existing research findings, it can be concluded that the AkSi (Anti-Corruption) snakes and ladders campaign can increase children's awareness of anti-corruption understanding. However, a limitation of this research is the absence of a system to monitor the respondents' behavior in the future.

Authors: Talal Ahmedah Hanadi
Published: October 2023

Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, with an estimated 19.3 million new cases and 10.0 million deaths in 2021. Genetic and environmental factors, including nutrition, play an important role in cancer development. At present, health professionals and the public have become highly interested in natural products and healthy food for preventing or treating cancer. Several natural products, such as fruits and vegetables, have demonstrated anticancer effects. Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI), commonly known as prickly pear or cactus pear, is a plant that has numerous beneficial properties. It serves as a source of dietary fibres, vitamins and various bioactive compounds with diverse health benefits. These compounds are associated with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, hypoglycaemic and neuroprotective properties. Different parts of the plant, including the fruit pulp and peel, cladodes (pads) and seeds, have been scientifically studied, and they have demonstrated therapeutic potential while being considered safe for human consumption. However, there is limited awareness and scientific information about OFI as a fruit. Reviewing existing knowledge and research on it is necessary to shed light on its potential anticancer properties. By consolidating the available information on OFI, we can gain a better understanding of this fruit and its potential role in cancer prevention and treatment.

Examining the relationships between body mass index, emotional eating, compulsive behaviors, and perceived financial well-being: a model proposal
Authors: Paylan Mehmet Ali , İlktaç Havvanur Yoldaş , Kavas Yusuf Bahadır , Semiz Buket Bora
Published: October 2023

This study aimed to test the relationships between body mass index,
emotional eating, compulsive behaviors, and perceived financial
well-being in a single model in Türkiye. 1240 people over 18 years of
age, who were determined by convenience sampling, participated in the
study. Regression and mediation analyses were performed using CB-SEM.
According to the results, BMI affects emotional eating and compulsive
buying behavior in both men and women. While compulsive buying behavior
affects current money management in both women and men, it has a
significant effect on future financial security in women but no
significant effect in men. Emotional eating partially mediates the
relationship between body mass index and compulsive buying in women and
is fully mediated in men. This study is the first to examine the
relationship between body mass index as a measure of obesity and
emotional eating, compulsive buying behavior as a mental disorder, and
financial well-being as a result of purchasing decisions.
Preclinical Diagnosis of Schizophrenia using EEG Time-Frequency Analysis During Motor Function and Verbal Fluency Tests
Authors: K TAMILARASI , G SENTHIL KUMAR
Published: October 2023

Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness that impairs the way a person
perceives reality related to behavior, emotions, and thinking
(cognition). Patients experience auditory hallucinations, delusion, and
sleep deprivation. Although the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM)
IV version helps in diagnosis, the lack of clinical tools available
leads to delayed diagnosis. To ease preclinical diagnosis, this study
conducted two tests, namely Motor Function Test (MFT) and Verbal Fluency
Test (VFT). The neural activity of the brain during these two tests is
captured by an Electroencephalogram (EEG). However, EEG signals are not
widely used for clinical analysis, as the signals are blurred during
acquisition, random, and shortcoming of the signal processing algorithm.
Hence, in this paper, we propose a Preclinical Diagnosis of
Schizophrenia using Multi-SynchroSqueezing Transform (MSST) (PDS-M) to
analyze the blurred EEG signal with Time-frequency analysis. PDS-M
produces a sharper signal and achieves perfect signal reconstruction.
The mono component of MSST in each mode is termed intermediate frequency
and it is used as the feature (such as lack of emotion, hallucinations,
or disorganized thinking) for discriminating schizophrenic subjects from
normal ones. The results show that the MFT is better than the VFT for
preclinical study and this study also suggests that MSST is more
suitable for time-frequency analysis of EEG signal since all the three
modes’ multi-components are different from normal having a low p-value
of p=0, p=0, and p=0.008, respectively, where p is the probability of
data having occurred under the null hypothesis of a statistical test
South China Sea Dispute: What Alternative Solutions Can be Offered to the International Community?
Authors: Darajati Muhammad Rafi
Published: October 2023

As the busiest shipping route with a high value of resources under the sea, the South China Sea dispute is one of the unresolved problems in recent world affairs. Claimant states keep on defending their claim over the territory. Several critical factors of the disputed areas, such as the international trade perspective, natural resources aspects, and the security value, did affect the behaviour of such states. A lot of alternatives and means have been done to solve the case until the decision of PCA on the Philippine claim over China’s nine-dash line. Non-compliance response of China did raise another tension on the issue and complicated the resolution. We offered more alternatives to the international community to act, which combined peace-oriented bilateral and multilateral diplomacy and cooperation to force all claimants to agree on their maritime boundary, seeking mediation from states that can be trustworthy, international sanctions might be an option - but with a highly calculated decision, and stressing the compliance with legal action to gain trust from other parties. to support the diplomacy that takes place in the process.
Kesepian dan Regulasi Emosi pada Emerging Adulthood
Authors: Theja Vanessa , Witarso Laurentius Sandi
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Emerging adulthood is marked by the stage of experiencing intimacy vs isolation where they need to establish intimate relationships with their surroundings. Failure in establishing close relationships with those around him can make they feel lonely and will experience a variety of negative emotions. Emotion regulation is one way for individuals to control the emotions. Research on loneliness and emotion regulation needs to be studied further because there is a lot of focus on elderly subjects. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between loneliness and emotion regulation including cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression on early adulthood individuals. The research was conducted using a quantitative method with a correlational design. Participants in this study are 138 people with an age range of 18-25 years. Researchers used the convenience sampling method and used the third version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation to examine the correlation between the two variables. The results showed that loneliness in early adulthood was correlated with expressive suppression (r = 0.35, n = 138, p 0.05, two-tailed). Early adulthood individuals tend to use expressive suppression as an emotion regulation strategy when experiencing loneliness. Meanwhile, loneliness did not correlate with cognitive reappraisal because it is suspected that individuals tend to have good well-being  (r = 0.05, n = 138, p 0.05, two-tailed). Future research can examine other factors that can influence the relationship between the two variables in early adulthood.
Существование и Восприятие как Основа AGI (Общего Искусственного Интеллекта)
Authors: Сенкевич Виктор
Published: October 2023

Как известно, AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), в отличие от AI, оперирует смыслами. И именно это отличает его от AI / LLM. Любые успешные реализации AI (игра в шахматы, беспилотное вождение, распознавание лиц и т.д.) смыслами обрабатываемых объектов никак не оперируют и смысл не распознают. Но им это и не нужно. А вот для AGI, эмулирующего мышление человека, такая способность является определяющей. Многочисленные попытки определения понятия «смысл» обладают одним весьма существенным недостатком — все такие определения не являются строгими и формализованными, поэтому их нельзя запрограммировать. Процедура поиска смысла должна использовать формализованное описание его существования и возможных форм его восприятия. Для практической реализации AGI необходимо разработать такие «ready-to-code» описания в контексте их использования для обработки связанных когнитивных понятий «смысл» и «знание».

Попытка формализованного определения таких понятий предпринимается в данной статье.

The Māui Narratives: from bowdlerisation, dislocation and infantilisation to veracity, a Māori practice-led approach
Authors: Pouwhare Robert , Mortensen Steagall Marcos
Published: October 2023

In Aotearoa New Zealand, as a consequence of colonisation, generations of Māori have been alienated from both their language and culture. This project harnessed an artistic re-consideration of pūrākau (traditional stories) such that previously fractured or erased stories relating to Māui-tikitiki-a-Taranga were orchestrated into a coherent narrative network. Storytelling is not the same as reading a story aloud or reciting a piece from memory. It also differs from performed drama, although it shares certain characteristics with all of these art forms. As a storyteller I look into the eyes of the audience and we both construct a virtual world. Together the listener and the teller compose the tale. The storyteller uses voice, pause and gesture; a listener, from the first moment, absorbs, reacts and co-creates. For each, the pūrākau is unique. Its story images differ. The experience can be profound, exercising thinking and emotional transformation. In the design of 14 episodes of the Māui narrative, connections were made between imagery, sound and the resonance of traditional, oral storytelling. The resulting Māui pūrākau, functions not only to revive the beauty of te reo Māori, but also to resurface traditional values that lie embedded within these ancient stories. The presentation contributes to knowledge through three distinct points. First, it supports language revitilisation by employing ancient words, phrases and karakia that are heard. Thus, we encounter language expressed not in its neutral written form, but in relation to tone, pause, rhythm, pronunciation and context. Second, it connects the Māui narratives into a cohesive whole. In doing this it also uses whakapapa to make connections and to provide meaning and chronology both within and between the episodes. Third, it elevates the pūrākau beyond the level of simple children’s stories. The inclusion of karakia reinforces that these incantations are in fact sacred texts. Rich in ancient language they give us glimspes into ancient epistemologies. Appreciating this elevated state, we can understand how these pūrākau dealt with complex human and societal issues including abortion, rape, incest, murder, love, challenging traditional hierarchies, the power of women, and the sacredness of knowledge and ritual. Finally, the presentation considers both in theory and practice, the process of intergenerational bowdlerisation.
Te Whare Rangahau (The House of Research): Designing a methodological framework for an artistic inquiry into Māori gender, identity and performance.
Authors: Paora Tangaroa , Mortensen Steagall Marcos
Published: October 2023

This article considers the methodological framework constructed for the doctoral thesis Takatāpui Beyond Marginalisation: Exploring Māori Gender, Identity and Performance. In this practice-led artistic inquiry the researcher adopted a critically iterative approach where “research questions were initially exploratory and reflective, serving to create an internal dialogue between the practitioner and the making” (Tavares & Ings, 2018, p. 20). The formative question underpinning the thesis asked: 
  
How might an artistic reconsideration of gender role differentiation give a unique voice to takatāpui tāne identity?1 
 
The research sought to illuminate an experiential context, then generate visual and performance artifacts where the principle of irarere within gender identity and sexual orientation, might find a purposeful place to stand within te ao Māori (the Māori world view).2  
 
Emanating from a Kaupapa Māori paradigm the study employed the methodological metaphor of Te Whare Rangahau, a research space that is populated with methods including karakia (incantation), kanohi ki te kanohi (face to face) interviewing, iterative experimentation, pakiwaitara (poetic inquiry), photography, and choreography. In the thesis, Te Whare Rangahau integrated a number of features from Robert Pouwhare’s (2020) Pūrākau framework for practice-led, artistic inquiry - specifically his observation that in much artistic Māori research, through mahi (practice) and heuristic inquiry, the researcher may draw sustenance from both the realm of Te Kura Huna (what is unseen, genealogical, esoteric or tacit), and Te Kura Tūrama – (what is explicit and seen). Within Māori epistemology, a dynamic of mahi (practice) draws nutrients from these realms, synthesising and connecting elements in the generation of print based and performative artistic outcomes.
Immersive Photography: a practice-led methodological approach to landscape photography research
Authors: Mortensen Steagall Marcos
Published: October 2023

In recent years, there has been a notable shift in the design field towards practice-led research, driven by the recognition of design practitioners as valuable contributors to knowledge production. However, the lack of well-defined methodologies for conducting practice-led research in academia has posed challenges to its progress and widespread adoption. This article aims to address this gap by providing examples of effective methodologies in practice-led research. The article emphasises the importance of robust frameworks that foster a symbiotic relationship between design practice and research, integrating theoretical inquiry and hands-on experimentation. It presents an innovative approach developed by the author during their PhD, which contributes to the ongoing discourses on practice-led research in design. The proposed methodology consists of four stages: the landscape, data gathering, reflection, and feedback. By engaging in iterative cycles of design exploration, critique, and reflection, the researcher gains a holistic understanding of design processes and their outcomes. This approach facilitates an in-depth exploration of the complex interplay between design concepts, materials, and the surrounding landscape. Ultimately, this article contributes to the discourse on practice-led research in the design field by introducing a methodology that embraces the practical, creative, and theoretical aspects of design inquiry. It responds to the increasing demand for examples of effective methodologies and provides a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners engaged in practice-led research at the PhD level.
The Bioactivity Potential of Acmella Paniculata Plant Extract in Antioxidant Activity by Two Different Extraction Methods
Authors: Mohamed Hanaphi Roziana
Published: October 2023

Widely used synthetic chemicals like heavy metals act as active compounds in personal care products such as shampoo, soap and cosmetics. These hazardous chemicals cause harmful threats to the environment and unintentionally lead to dangerous exposure towards human health. Thus, demands on natural organic compounds have increased nowadays. Bioactive compounds from plant extracts are well known to have intrinsic biological values that are relevant in promoting human health. There are numerous ways to extract these unique and important compounds involving techniques that are simple, environmentally friendly and efficient. The aim of this study is to highlight the biological potential of compounds from the local plant, Acmella paniculata in antioxidant activity. This small flowering shrub species is also known locally as Subang nenek. The first phase of this study involved the leaf extraction of A. paniculata performed by a common method known as Soxhlet extraction using methanol solvent and a simple centrifuged method using deep eutectic solvent (DES) which is a green solvent. Soxhlet method is a conventional procedure that takes longer time and involves specific equipments. However, this method has been used for many years as standard method due to its consistent results. Meanwhile, DES based centrifugation method is a new, innovative method for plant extraction with a fast procedure and minimal used of equipment. The second phase involved phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity testing. The phytochemical screening for A. paniculata leaf extract showed noticeable secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, tannins, terpenoids and steroids. This plant showed good pharmacological values in antioxidant activity using DPPH free radical scavenging assay. The antioxidant percentage of DES extract showed higher potential results (56.11±3.54) compared to the Soxhlet extract (39.15±23.99) in leaf. Overall, the DES extraction is promising method in increasing the yield of antioxidant compounds as well as provided a simple and rapid technique in plant extraction.
Effect Of Graphene Oxide on Poly (Methyl Methacrylate)-Grafted Natural Rubber Polymer Electrolytes
Authors: Nazir Khuzaimah
Published: October 2023

Polymer electrolytes (PE) are presently the subject of the majority of research due to their capacity to replace liquid electrolyte that suffer from high flammability and electrolyte leakage and also as a new forms of electrical power production and storage systems. Solid polymer electrolytes (SPE) typically have low ionic conductivity at room temperature because of the high crystallinity of the polymers. Methyl-grafted natural rubber has been studied extensively by a number of researchers due to its advantageous properties such as high flexibility, and ability to solvate inorganic salts to form a polymer-salt complex. Graphene oxide (GO) was used as a nanofiller, ammonium triflate (NH4CF3SO3) served as a dopant salt, and 30 % polymethyl methacrylate grafted natural rubber (MG30) served as the polymer host in the preparation of the nanocomposite polymer electrolyte (CPE) using the solution casting-method. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to analyse the ionic conductivity of the samples, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to analyse the complexation between salt, polymer host and filler while Optical microscope was used to study the surface morphology of the prepared CPE samples. The decrease in peak strength for C=O in the FTIR spectra indicates the interaction between the polymer host and salt The sample containing 15 weight percent NH4CF3SO3 had the highest conductivity, which was 2.05×10-5 S cm-1. This substance has the potential to be used in energy storage devices like batteries and supercapacitors as an alternative to commercial liquid electrolyte.

This research aimed to explore the organizational features of play activities of children with moderate mental retardation and its impact on their speech development. The studies were conducted among 144 children with moderate mental retardation aged 7–18-year-old living in specialized orphanages and 40 educators.

The research methodology was based on the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods including observation, conversation, interview, and validating scientific experiments for data collection. The use of selected data collection methods helped to observe the general activities of children and to obtain data on the specifics of their play activities both from children and the educators working with them.

As a result of validating scientific experiments, patterns of play activities of children with moderate mental retardation, and their playing abilities were recorded, and the most frequently used games and their influence on the development of children were revealed. The regulation of the day, the time allotted for games during educational and speech development classes, the setting, and the reasons related to application features were also exposed. The results of the study stated, that in the list of games used during remedial and speech development activities in a specialized orphanage, such as verbal, staged, role-playing, speech therapy games and motion games were almost absent.

In 5 out of 15 studied groups, 2-3 game exercises of speech therapy were used, about the same number of sports exercises and word games. It was also recorded that the tutor spent approximately 33% of the game time (1 hour) explaining each game, 17% on individual work, 28% on correcting mistakes and other corrective work, and on the game itself, it was used only 22% of the time which negatively affected the effectiveness of using games. It has been found that in insufficient conditions of the organization of game activities, the effectiveness of corrective educational work decreased, and the development of speech was delayed.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, gastrofizik yaklaşımı çerçevesinde görsel ve işitsel unsurların tat algısına etkisinin belirlenmesidir. Araştırmanın problemi, bir atıştırmalık olan patlamış mısırın tuzluluk algısının değerlendirmesinde rengin ve tuzlu tadı anımsatan film müziğinin etkisinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın yönteminde, ön test araştırması ile 4 ayrı deney tasarımı kullanılmıştır. Deneyde kullanılan tekrarlı ölçümlerde, görsel unsurlardan olan renk etkisinin anlaşılması amacıyla şeffaf, pembe ve mavi renkli kâseler, işitsel unsurlardan ise tuzlu film müziği deneye dâhil edilmiştir. Deneyde, renk ve ses etkisinin daha iyi anlaşılması adına patlamış mısırlar hem tuzlu hem de tuzsuz olarak servis edilmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklemini Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart Üniversitesi Turizm Fakültesi Gastronomi ve Mutfak Sanatları Bölümünde lisans eğitimi gören 96 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında yapılan deneyin analizinde birbirinden bağımsız grupların tekrarlayan ölçümleri bulunduğundan karma desenli ANOVA analizi tercih edilmiş ve karma desenli ANOVA’nın varsayımlarından olan normallik, varyansların homojenliği testleri ve frekans analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda tuzluluk algısı değerlendirmelerinde, müzik+renk etkisinin, sadece renk etkisine kıyasla daha yüksek bir ortalamaya sahip olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Katılımcılar tarafından mavi kâselerde servis edilen patlamış mısırın şeffaf ve pembe kâselere göre daha tuzlu algılandığı belirlenmiştir (p0.05). Pembe kâselerde servis edilen patlamış mısırın ise algılanan tuzluluk oranı bakımından diğer kâselere oranla daha az tuzlu olarak algılandığı bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır (p

Stress at a workplace represents stress caused by the job of a person, which occurs when the demands of the workplace are not in accordance with the needs of health workers. Two basic types of pathological stress at workplace are: burnout syndrome at work and technostress. The set goals were to assess the level of stress among health workers employed by the Psychiatric Clinic and the Dermatovenerology Clinic, and compare the results obtained, and identify a group of health workers exposed to the highest level of stress within the studied healthcare institutions. A total of 93 respondents were included in the study, of which 43 were from the Dermatovenerology Clinic and 50 from the Psychiatric Clinic. In the process of collecting data from respondents, the questionnaire used is modified version of “The Workplace Stress Scale”. The most important is to note that there is no correlation between night-shift work and stress level, as well as gender, or level of education, even though many studies in the world indicate a connection between these factors - which is marked as an increased risk of stress. Starting from the goals of the work, it is concluded that employees at the Dermatovenerology Clinic are more exposed to stress than employees in the Psychiatric Clinic. The level of education, gender, age, shift work does not affect the level of stress. The factor that most affects the level of stress is personal income and a short deadline for executing the given actions.
