Authors: Adnyana Komang Surya , Lasmawan I Wayan , Kertih I Wayan , Margunayasa I Gede
Published: May 2024

Purpose: This research aims to identify the need for natural and social science teaching materials by the demands of the independent learning curriculum and the obstacles faced in learning natural and social sciences using the self-instruction approach and the tri kaya parisudha concept.
 
Method: This research was conducted using the literature review research method. The data collected comes from books, research studies and research results published in national and international scientific journals. The collected data was analyzed qualitatively using an interactive data analysis model consisting of three stages: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification.
 
Results and conclusion: Teaching materials with a self-instruction approach and containing the tri kaya parisudha can be a solution to meet the demands of an independent curriculum for Natural and Social Sciences subjects. This is because self-instruction has several characteristics that solve the challenges of learning Natural and Social Sciences and the demands of an independent curriculum in realizing quality learning that suits the needs and learning environment. Meanwhile, Tri kaya parisudha helps implement character education emphasising thinking, saying and doing good things.
 
Research implications: The results of this research can be used as material for consideration in developing teaching materials for learning Natural and Social Sciences using a self-instruction approach containing tri hita karana.
 
Originality/value: Teaching materials that combine modern learning concepts with local wisdom are still rarely developed. This research combines the concept of modern learning, namely self-instruction, with local wisdom possessed by the Balinese people in developing character, namely tri kaya parisudha. So, it can be said that this research offers something new by combining modern and traditional concepts already known by society into the natural and social sciences learning process.

Authors: Supanut Adul , Maisak Rattanavalee , Ratchatakulpat Thanaphon
Published: May 2024

Objective: This study explores how companies across various industries are implementing circular economy strategies in practice, focusing on the drivers, practices, challenges, enablers, and outcomes of their efforts.
Theoretical Framework: The study draws upon multiple theoretical perspectives, including the multi-level perspective on sustainability transitions, the resource-based view of the firm, and institutional theory, to understand the complex factors influencing the adoption and implementation of circular economy strategies.
 
Method: A qualitative, multiple-case study design was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with key informants from 20-30 companies actively engaged in circular economy initiatives. Data were analyzed using a combination of deductive and inductive coding approaches, with member checking and peer debriefing used to enhance trustworthiness.
 
Results and Discussion: The findings reveal that environmental sustainability concerns are the primary driver for companies adopting circular economy strategies, with regulatory pressures, competitive advantage, customer demands, and resource scarcity also playing significant roles. Companies are implementing a wide range of circular economy practices, including eco-design, circular business models, reverse logistics, and industrial symbiosis. Key challenges identified include lack of technical knowledge and skills, inadequate infrastructure and technology, and regulatory barriers, while enablers such as leadership commitment, collaboration and partnerships, and employee engagement are crucial for successful implementation. The study also highlights the positive outcomes of circular economy adoption, including environmental benefits, economic gains, innovation and competitive advantage, customer satisfaction, and employee engagement.
 
Research Implications: This study contributes to the theoretical development of the circular economy field and offers practical implications for managers and policymakers.
 
Originality/Value: This study addresses the lack of comprehensive, cross-sectoral research on circular economy implementation in practice, providing valuable insights into the experiences of companies across different industries.

Published: May 2024

The islet of Lobos (Canary Islands) located in the Bocaina Strait, between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, has unique characteristics due to its location. Our work consisted of sampling the abundance of invertebrate species on the three intertidal zones on different sides of the islet as well as analyzing the sizes of the most representative species. Sampling was carried out using 10 x 2-meter transects, and 1 x 1-meter quadrats only for crabs. A total of 26 species belonging to 6 different phyla were recorded. The analysis of species richness and abundance of invertebrate communities revealed a significant influence of tidal zones on species distribution. Furthermore, the abundance and size results show that some commercially important species, such as limpets, are in a worrying state of conservation.

Published: May 2024

The island of Tenerife has experienced significant population growth and urban development in coastal areas, resulting in a negative impact on the ichthyic communities associated with its intertidal pools, which act as a refuge and nursery for a large number of species, many of them of fishing interest. In order to characterize these populations and know their conservation status, sampling was carried out using baited remote underwater video (BRUV) in four areas in Tenerife located on the north coast, Punta del Hidalgo and Finca El Apio, and on the south, Las Galletas and Punta Rasca. A total of 13 fish species were found throughout the sampling, 7 of them of fishing interest in the Canary Islands. According to the results obtained, a significant variation can be seen between the communities of the sampled localities. Specifically, it was observed that Punta del Hidalgo has the highest fish abundance and richness of species. On the other hand, it was found that the locality of Las Galletas differs significantly from the rest, presenting a low abundance of species, especially those of fishing interest.

Authors: Choudhary Srishti , Rana Nimarta , Kumar Ashok , Bajpai Nitin K. , Gangadevi P.
Published: May 2024

Background:

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on hemodialysis face issues like poor quality of sleep and reduced physical activity, which can impair their quality of life. This study aimed to assess the physical activity and quality of sleep among CKD patients on hemodialysis.

Materials and Methods:

This cross-sectional study was conducted at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Jodhpur. Data from 66 participants selected consecutively using self-reported standardized tools, namely, Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), were collected, along with sociodemographic variables. After receiving written informed consent, questionnaires were administered through face-to-face interviews.

Results:

The majority of the individuals, 45 (68.2%), were found to be physically active with a mean score of 2280.8 metabolic equivalents (MET)-min/week. The average PSQI score was 9.24 ± 4, and 49 (74.2%) participants had a PSQI score as higher than 5, suggesting poor quality of sleep. Physical activity and quality of sleep were found to have a significant relationship (P = 0.03). Physical activity was found to have a significant relationship with age (P = 0.01), whereas quality of sleep was associated with smoking status (P = 0.04), alcohol consumption (P < 0.01), and body mass index (BMI; P = 0.03).

Conclusion:

Contrary to many studies where CKD patients on hemodialysis were found to be physically inactive, the present study showed a substantial portion of them to be physically active. Poor quality of sleep was common; hence, interventions to promote sleep quality recommended.
Konsep Jiwa, Kesehatan Mental dan Psikoterapi Ibn Zakaria Al-Razi
Authors: Rahmawati Rizkia Amalia , Khudori Soleh Achmad
Published: May 2024

Ibn Zakaria al-Razi specialized in psychotherapy. His book "Al-Thibb al-Ruhani" serves as a crucial reference for this research. The main objective of this research is to comprehend al-Razi's perspective on the concepts of the soul, mental well-being, and psychotherapy. The research methodology utilized is qualitative, employing a literature review approach. The findings indicate that, according to al-Razi, the human soul comprises three dimensions: the divine soul (al-Nafs an-Nathiqah al-Ilahiyah), the animalistic soul (al-Nafs al-Ghadabiyah), and the vegetative soul (al-Nafs al-Nabatiyah). The divine soul is seen as eternal, akin to God. Al-Razi emphasizes that mental health significantly affects an individual's physical well-being. Moreover, psychological stability is influenced by the surrounding environment. Thus, the healing process for the soul involves both physical and psychological therapy. These therapies are founded on two fundamental principles: (1) the control of intellect over desires (darurah tahakkum al-aql fi al-hawa) and (2) the restraint of desires and passions (qam'u al-hawa wa al-syahwat). Additionally, al-Razi implements two counseling techniques: accepting reality and returning to Allah Swt.

In the search for new antitubercular compounds, we leveraged target-directed dynamic combinatorial chemistry (tdDCC) as an efficient hit-identification method. In tdDCC, the target selects its own binders from a dynamic library generated in situ, reducing the number of compounds that require synthesis and evaluation. We combined a total of twelve hydrazides and six aldehydes to generate 72 structurally diverse N-acylhydrazones. To amplify the best binders, we employed anti-infective target 4-diphosphocytidyl-2C-methyl-D-erythritol kinase (IspE) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). We successfully validated the use of tdDCC as hit-identification method for IspE and optimised the analysis of tdDCC hit determination. From the 72 possible N-acylhydrazones, we synthesised twelve of them revealing several new starting points for the development of IspE inhibitors as antibacterial agents.
Magnetic Nanoparticle Aggregation and Complete De-Encapsulation of Such Aggregates from a Liquid Drop Interior
Authors: Subudhi Swarup , Chandel Ghansham , Sivasankar Vishal , Das Siddhartha
Published: May 2024

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been extensively used for drug delivery, on-demand material deposition, etc. In this study, we demonstrate the capability to extract MNPs on-demand from a magnetic nanoparticle laden drop (MNLD) (i.e., a drop of stable aqueous dispersion of MNPs) suspended inside a highly viscous polymer (PDMS) medium in the presence of an external applied magnetic field. The phenomena involve the aggregation of MNPs inside the drop and the consequent extraction of the MNPs out of the drop with the drop retaining its original shape post-extraction. We define this latter phenomenon as de-encapsulation. This is the first study, which to the best of our knowledge, demonstrates such a removal of NPs from the interior of a drop (where the NPs, which were originally inside the drop, breach the drop interface, and get completely separated from the drop) without any permanent deformation of the drop. We further discuss how the changes in the MNP concentration and the drop volume affect the de-encapsulation distance (i.e., the distance between the drop and the location of the magnet, at the time instant when the particles leave the drop) and identify the volume of the aggregates extracted from the drop along with the mechanisms causing such de-encapsulation. We propose a theory to describe the process; our theoretical predictions capture the experimental trends well. Overall, our results in addition to demonstrating the first-of-its-kind de-encapsulation of NPs from drop interior, demonstrate a method to control the dynamics, extraction, and targeted deposition of MNPs.
Ab initio Accuracy Neural Network Potential for Drug-like Molecules

Published: May 2024

The advent of machine learning (ML) in computational chemistry heralds a transformative approach to one of the quintessential challenges in computer-aided drug design (CADD): the accurate and cost-effective calculation of atomic interactions. By leveraging a neural network (NN) potential, we address this balance and push the boundaries of the NN potential's representational capacity. Our work details the development of a robust general-purpose NN potential, architected on the framework of DPA-2, a deep learning potential with attention, which demonstrates remarkable fidelity in replicating the interatomic potential energy surface for drug-like molecules comprising eight critical chemical elements: H, C, N, O, F, S, Cl, and P. We employed state-of-the-art molecular dynamic techniques, including temperature acceleration and enhanced sampling, to construct a comprehensive dataset to ensure exhaustive coverage of relevant configurational spaces. Our rigorous testing protocols, including torsion scanning, global minimum searches, and high-temperature MD simulations across various organic molecules, have culminated in an NN model that achieves chemical precision commensurate with the highly regarded DFT model, while significantly outstripping the accuracy of prevalent semi-empirical methods. This study presents a leap forward in the predictive modelling of molecular interactions, offering extensive applications in drug development and beyond.
Inverse Photoemission Spectroscopy of Coinage Metal Corroles: Comparison with Solution-Phase Electrochemistry
Authors: Giovanelli Luca , Ksari Younal , Mrezguia Hela , Salomon Eric , Minissale Marco , Alemayehu Abraham , Ghosh Abhik
Published: May 2024

A combined direct and inverse photoemission study of coinage metal corroles suggests that the latter technique, in favorable cases, can provide some additional information relative to electrochemical measurements. Thus, whereas inverse photoemission spectroscopy (IPES) provides relative electron affinities for electron addition to different unoccupied orbitals, electrochemical reduction potentials sheds light on the energetics of successive electron additions. While all three coinage metal triphenylcorrole (TPC) complexes exhibit similar ionization potentials, they exhibit dramatically different inverse photoemission spectra. For Cu[TPC], the lowest-energy IPES feature (0.74 eV) is found to be exceedingly close to the Fermi level; it is significantly higher for Ag[TPC] (1.65 eV) and much higher for Au[TPC] (2.40 eV). These differences qualitatively mirror those observed for electrochemical reduction potentials and are related to a partially metal-centered LUMO in the case of Cu- and Ag[TPC] and a fully corrole-based LUMO in the case of Au[TPC]; the latter orbital corresponds to the LUMO+1 in the case of Ag[TPC].
When can we trust structural models derived from pair distribution function measurements?
Authors: Maffettone Phillip , Fletcher William , Nicholas Thomas , Deringer Volker , Allison Jane , Smith Lorna , Goodwin Andrew
Published: May 2024

The pair distribution function (PDF) is an important metric for characterising structure in complex materials, but it is well known that meaningfully different structural models can sometimes give rise to equivalent PDFs. In this paper, we discuss the use of model likelihoods as a general approach for discriminating between such homometric structure solutions. Drawing on two main case studies---one concerning the structure of a small peptide and the other amorphous calcium carbonate---we show how consideration of model likelihood can help drive robust structure solution even in cases where the PDF is particularly information poor. The obvious thread of these individual case studies is the potential role for machine learning approaches to help guide structure determination from the PDF, and our paper finishes with some forward-looking discussion along these lines.
EFFECT OF W CONTENT ON WEAR RESISTANCE OF COCRFENIMNWX HIGH ENTROPY ALLOY
Authors: Kumar Gatenda Charan , Liu Yuzuo , Zhu Wenjie
Published: May 2024

High entropy alloys show excellent properties that traditional metals do not have in many aspects, but their high preparation cost and unstable properties make it difficult to scale production. In this paper, CoCrFeNiMnWx high entropy alloy was prepared by low-cost mature process powder metallurgy, and the effects of W content on the composition, structure, hardness and rub proofness of the alloy were studied. It was found that the alloy could form FCC phase CoCrFeNiMn solid solution without the addition of W, and Fe7W6 phase would be formed with the addition of W. This phase can significantly improve the hardness and wear resistance of the material. With the further increase of W content, the precipitation of W element further increases the hardness of the material, but its wear resistance decreases, because the wear form changes from abrasive wear to oxidative wear with the formation of Fe7W6 phase, and the wear form changes to fatigue wear with the precipitation of W element.

To mitigate environmental pollution and address the issue of solid waste phosphogypsum materials, cement is utilized as a binding agent alongside various building materials to create Phosphogypsum Foam Concrete(PFC), commonly used in construction. This study focuses on the use of PFC infilled walls as the subject of investigation. The general finite element software ABAQUS was utilized to select the optimal plastic damage and elastoplastic constitutive models for concrete and reinforcement, respectively. A physical model of a 400mm*400mm*20mm PFC slab was established, and an impact load was applied to it via four-sided consolidation. By numerically studying the response of concrete under impact, by altering its strength, reinforcement ratio, and impact speed, and qualitatively analyzing the impact load, deformation, and energy dissipation of various parameter variables, a theoretical basis for the optimization and design method of PFC infilled wall is provided.

Trans And Gender Diverse People And General Practitioners’ Accounts Of Health Care In Aotearoa New Zealand: A Discursive Analysis.
Authors:   , Souto Pereira Sandra
Published: May 2024

Trans and gender diverse people in Aotearoa New Zealand encounter significant challenges accessing primary healthcare. Both the trans and gender diverse and general practitioner (GP) communities identify barriers hindering the provision and receipt of quality healthcare and affirming gender identity. Scarce research explores the experiences of trans and gender diverse people and GPs in gender-affirming healthcare in Aotearoa New Zealand. Our understanding of these barriers and necessary measures is limited, requiring more knowledge about effective practices. Specifically, insights into how trans and gender diverse people interpret their experiences with GPs and how GPs express their understanding, difficulties, competence, and willingness to offer healthcare services are crucial.

This research, grounded in a social constructionist perspective, comprised two qualitative studies. Using semi-structured interviews, I engaged with 30 trans and gender diverse people and 30 GPs from diverse Aotearoa New Zealand locations.

Two shared discourses were identified: the 'knowledge' discourse and the 'specialised care vs general healthcare' discourse. In the 'knowledge' discourse, both groups depicted GPs as knowledge deficient. Trans and gender diverse people described this deficiency as either a 'complete lack of knowledge' or 'insufficient knowledge.' In the 'specialised care vs general healthcare' discourse, both groups portrayed gender-affirming healthcare as both 'specialised care' and 'general healthcare.' The former depicted GPs as ill-equipped, while the latter positioned GPs as equipped with the necessary knowledge.

Two distinct discourses also were identified: the 'dismissiveness' discourse employed by trans and gender diverse people to describe barriers faced in accessing quality gender-affirming healthcare, and the 'systemic discourse' used by GPs to frame barriers as systemic, advocating for necessary reforms.

This research provides insight into how 'knowledge deficiency' impacts primary healthcare provision. GPs' perception of the trans and gender diverse population influences learning capacity, training engagement, and perception of safe practice in initiating hormone replacement therapy. The 'dismissiveness' discourse affects the comfort and safety of trans people in discussing health concerns with GPs. The 'systemic' discourse highlights challenges within Aotearoa New Zealand's healthcare system. The findings emphasise the need for targeted interventions to improve the experiences of trans and gender diverse people in primary healthcare settings.
Exploration of the Perception of Elementary and Secondary Pre-Service Teachers About “Novelty Space” in Learning in Geological Field Trip — A Secondary Publication
Authors: Choi Yoon-Sung
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of novelty space among pre-service elementary and secondary earth science teachers. We conducted a survey to explore the perceptions of 38 pre-service elementary school teachers at the National University of Education and 31 pre-service secondary earth science teachers at the Department of Earth Science Education at B University. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 participants, including three pre-service elementary teachers and nine pre-service secondary science teachers. In addition to the elements of novelty space, prior knowledge (cognition), prior outdoor learning experience (psychology), familiarity (geography) with outdoor field learning, and social and technical elements were added. When classified based on elementary and secondary levels, there were statistically significant differences in cognitive, psychological, geographic, and social areas for the elements of novelty space. Statistical differences indicated that the experience or capital related to outdoor learning may have resulted from more pre-service secondary earth science teachers than pre-service elementary teachers. In additional interviews, both elementary and secondary pre-service teachers reported that competencies in the technical domain would be emphasized in the future owing to the necessity and the technical development of virtual-reality-based outdoor field learning programs. This study emphasizes the academic significance of novelty space that should be considered to conduct geological field learning for elementary and secondary earth science pre-service teachers while considering the current post-pandemic educational context.
A Review of the Non-symmetry of Teachers' Existence and Duties, and Diagnosis of Problems
Authors:   Koreanisch-Deutsche Gesellschaft Fuer Erziehungswissenschaft, Cho Sang Sik
Published: May 2024

This thesis deals with the cause of the fall of the teachers’ right, which was revealed by a series of teacher deaths, from the complex perspective of the cause and diagnosis, rather than falling into the trap of turbid political camp logic. In other words, by shifting the discourse of the fall of teaching authority to the dimension of pedagogical reflection, the philosophical issue of the teacher's existence(Lehrer-Sein) was examined and the cause of the problem was diagnosed through the contrast with the social reality, In order to understand this problem, this article first attempted to conduct a philosophical preliminary examination of the relationship between the existence and duty of teachers, and as a result, it was confirmed that its existence and duty are excessively dominated by teleological-ontological philosophical discourse. Existence and duty are in a non-symmetry relationship due to heterogeneity and semantic imbalance that are not conceptually similar to each other. As I believe that this problem is closely related to various changes in social reality, I analyzed it focusing on four core themes: the collapse of modern teacher Image, the dilemma of educational correctness, the contradictory consequences of functionalization and legalization of life world(Lebenswelt) like school, and the anti-intellectualism trend of society.
Fixed-Point Approaches for Multi-Valued Contraction Mappings in a Novel Space With an Application
Authors: Hammad Hasanen A. , De la Sen Manuel
Published: May 2024

The vital goals of this manuscript are to combine metric-like spaces with S-metric spaces under a control function to obtain a new space called the controlled S-metric-like spaces (CSMLSs, for short). Under this name, many fixed-point (FP) results have been obtained for multi-valued mappings (MVMs). In addition, we present several non-trivial examples to back up our statements. The results obtained generalize and unify many results in the same direction. Finally, to support and test the adequacy of the theoretical results, the existence of the solution to the differential inclusion problem (DIP) was studied as a type of application.

Published: May 2024

This research was conducted to synthesize and characterize silica minerals (SiO2) from volcanic rocks in the active volcano in Bali, namely Mount Batur. The synthesis carried out on five different color variants of this rock sample is by the coprecipitation method which begins with the process of taking rock samples on Mount Batur, crushing the rock until it becomes powder with a size of 100 mesh, washing with distilled water and drying, immersing the rock powder in the solution. 2 M HCl for 12 hours, then the results of the soaking were reacted again with 7 M NaOH solution as a hydrolysis process to obtain pure SiO2 in the sample. In the form of sodium silicate precursor (Na2SiO3), the sample was titrated with a 2 M HCl solution to obtain silica gel which was then washed and dried until amorphous silica powder was produced. The results of the XRF analysis showed that the SiO2 mineral content in the sample after going through the synthesis process was 94.9% and the Si element was 89.9%. The XRD characterization results show that the phase formed from the sample has a quartz structure with the highest peak at an angle of 2θ = 23.07o, then decreases and levels out at an angle of 2θ = 32.94o which is characteristic of an amorphous structure and with a silica grain size of 8.47 nm – 8.65 nm.

The use of smallholder plantation land in the North Lombok district is seen from the types of plants carried out by agricultural or plantation groups consisting of coconut plantations with an area of 10,574.62 tons and a production yield of 11,397.08 tons. Coffee plants with a planting area 1,315.57 with a production yield of 780.46 tons. Specifically for coffee plantations, farmers usually only process post-harvest through drying, after which they are immediately sold. To increase the selling value, it is necessary to utilise technological results such as using a coffee skin peeler. This tool helps increase the productivity of coffee farmers. The dedication will be carried out in Selelos Hamlet, Gangga sub-district, North Lombok district. The implementation of this service program includes making a coffee peeler, presentation, and counselling on using the tool, along with demonstrations. As a result, the coffee skin peeler has a production capacity of 100 kg per hour. The quality of the coffee beans produced is clean and free of impurities. The productivity of using a coffee skin peeler machine is greater and shorter when compared to the manual process.
