Se cumple el 75 aniversario (1949-2024) del lanzamiento del primer volumen de la revista Munibe por parte de los fundadores de la Sociedad de Ciencias Aranzadi. Aprovechando la celebración de esta efeméride, en este trabajo se hace un breve repaso histórico de los acontecimientos más relevantes acaecidos durante este periodo, y las circunstancias que dieron lugar a la fundación en 1984 de la revista filial de Munibe donde se publican estas páginas: Munibe Ciencias Naturales. Durante los pasados 40 años, Munibe Ciencias Naturales ha publicado 484 artículos en 37 volúmenes, y aquí se analizan algunos datos bibliométricos generales de dichos trabajos. Este análisis revela la gran diversidad de contenidos que la revista ha acogido, aunque se observa que los trabajos zoológicos se están haciendo progresivamente más frecuentes en detrimento de los trabajos botánicos y, sobre todo, de los geológicos. Finalmente, se hacen algunas reflexiones sobre el alcance y propósitos de la revista, así como de las perspectivas de cara a su futuro.

A Community in Exile: A Critical Analysis of Siddhartha Gigoo’s The Garden of Solitude (2011)
Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department of English, Government Degree College, Nirmand, Himachal Pradesh, India., Thakur Priyanka
Published: December 2024

The research paper focuses on Siddhartha Gigoo’s novel, The Garden of Solitude, dedicated to the people living in exile and their desire for a peaceful state of mind. Siddharth Gigoo in the novel has highlighted exile as a major theme and The Garden of Solitude (2011) tells the story of a community without reflection which has been forgotten by the world. The Kashmiri Pandits lost their reflection when the world turned its face away from their plight and suffering in refugee camps. The absence of reflection also indicates the erasure of identity. The question of Kashmiri Pandits has been excluded from all the dominant discourses and the novel is an endeavour by a Pandit to bring before the world the grim life of refugee camps.

The novel asserts the need to preserve the stories of a community whose elders have lost their fight against failing memories. The protagonist of the novel believes in preserving identity through literary pursuits and that is why he records the stories that connect displaced Pandits to their roots in Kashmir. The concept of identity politics is at major stake here in the novel and the identity of his community has an essential link to its past in Kashmir and that link is personified by the elders living in exile. There is a theme of journey in his life that ultimately takes him back to his roots in Kashmir. The journey is in the search for the lost reflection of his community that he tries to get back by collecting stories slowly fading away.
Adubação com enxofre na cultura da cebola
Authors:   , Lacerda Rodolfo Rodrigo de Almeida
Published: December 2024

O enxofre (S) contribui para o crescimento, produtividade e qualidade da cebola. Responsável pela regulação, assimilação e síntese de aminoácidos necessários para a produção de proteínas, o S é o terceiro ou quarto nutriente em ordem decrescente de acúmulo na cebola. No Brasil, as fontes de S são associadas a misturas de fertilizantes com alta concentração de NPK, que não atendem à demanda de S pela cebola, afetando a produtividade da cultura. Diante disso, objetivou-se avaliar a produtividade, a viabilidade econômica e a qualidade da cebola, adubada com doses de S em condições de campo no semiárido brasileiro. Dois experimentos foram realizados em Mossoró, RN, de junho a novembro de 2018 e de junho a novembro de 2019. O delineamento experimental foi o de blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 2 x 7, com 14 tratamentos e quatro repetições. Os fatores avaliados foram cultivares (Rio das Antas e IPA 11) e doses de S (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 e 60 kg ha-1). A aplicação de 30 a 40 kg ha-1 de S proporcionou maior produtividade de Rio das Antas e maximização da receita líquida, favorecendo o aumento da porcentagem de bulbos maiores (caixas 3 e 4) e redução dos bulbos menores. Para a cultivar IPA 11 a maior taxa de retorno foi observado ao plicar 10 kg ha-1 de S, com retorno de 4,4 R$ a cada real investido. A adubação com S contribuiu para o maior teor e acúmulo do nutriente no bulbo de ambas as cultivares até 30 kg ha-1, melhorando a qualidade dos bulbos. O S contribuiu para o aumento da firmeza, acidez titulável e sólidos solúveis dos bulbos da cultivar IPA 11, bem como para a redução da SS/AT da cultivar Rio das Antas. A cultivar IPA 11 fertilizada com 60 kg ha-1 de S produziu bulbos de pungência muito forte
Qualidade da água de barragens subterrâneas do semiárido Potiguar para fins de irrigação
Authors:   , Chianca Cibele Gouveia Costa
Published: December 2024

As barragens subterrâneas vêm sendo largamente implantadas no semiárido potiguar brasileiro, com o objetivo de atenuar os efeitos provocados pela escassez hídrica. Com base nessa realidade, o objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a qualidade da água proveniente dessas barragens, para fins de irrigação, bem como analisar a variabilidade espacial e temporal da condutividade elétrica desse recurso hídrico, através do interpolador de ponderação do inverso da distância. As amostras foram coletadas em 45 barragens implantadas e finalizadas pelo Instituto de Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural do Rio Grande do Norte, no final do período seco do ano de 2018 e comparadas com as amostras obtidas no final do período chuvoso, no ano de 2019. Determinou-se a qualidade da água através da classificação do risco de salinização e sodificação do solo definidos pelo United State Salinity Laboratory e dos padrões de toxicidade de íons específicos e risco de obstrução de sistemas de irrigação localizada definidos pela Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nation. Para isso, foram analisadas as variáveis: condutividade elétrica, potencial hidrogeniônico, sólidos em suspensão totais, sólidos dissolvidos totais, sódio, potássio, cálcio, magnésio, cloreto, carbonato, bicarbonato, boro, cobre, enxofre, ferro, manganês, zinco, cromo, níquel, cadmio e chumbo. As técnicas de análise multivariada permitiram identificar as variáveis que exercem maior influência na variação hidroquímica da água dessas barragens. Os resultados mostraram que as variáveis relacionadas a salinidade e a toxicidade de íons reduziam sua concentração após o período chuvoso, enquanto que as variáveis relacionadas aos problemas de obstrução dos sistemas de irrigação localizada aumentavam. Com relação ao risco de salinidade e sodicidade do solo, a maioria das barragens foram classificadas como C2-S1. A presença de aglomerados rurais sem esgotamento sanitário, a utilização de dejetos de animais com fertilizantes e a decomposição de matéria orgânica, devido ao cultivo de capim na área da barragem, podem elevar os teores de salinidade das águas aluviais. A alcalinidade, a presença de algas e a concentração de íons ferro são as variáveis responsáveis pelos problemas de obstrução dos sistemas de irrigação localizada. As variáveis relacionadas a salinidade apresentam maior influência na variação hidroquímica da água das barragens, nos dois períodos estudados. A condutividade elétrica e os íons de cloreto apresentam a maior carga fatorial dessa salinidade. E por fim, as áreas que apresentavam maior condutividade elétrica no final do período seco, são similares às áreas de maior condutividade elétrica obtidas no final do período chuvoso

Published: December 2024

:

Derivatives of pyrimidinone, dihydropyrimidinone, and 2,4-diaryl-substituted pyrimidines were synthesized by cyclocondensation of α-aminoamidines with various sat-urated carbonyl derivatives and their analogs. The therapeutic potential of the newly syn-thesized derivatives for cancer treatment was evaluated using molecular docking calcula-tions. The molecular docking results indicate that some of the synthesized diaryl deriva-tives of pyrimidine exhibit high binding affinity towards PIK3γ.

Aim and Objective:

4,6-Diaryl-substituted pyrimidines have shown high inhibitory poten-cy against phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks), which are important targets in oncology. Inhibition of PI3Ks could potentially be a viable therapy for human cancers.

Materials and Methods:

The synthesis of pyrimidinone and dihydropyrimidinone deriva-tives as well as a series of 2,4-diaryl-substituted pyrimidines were described. These com-pounds were synthesized by cyclocondensation of α-aminoamidines with various saturated carbonyl derivatives and their analogs.

Results:

Derivatives of pyrimidinone, dihydropyrimidinone, and 2,4-diaryl-substituted py-rimidines were synthesized by combining α-aminoamidines with various saturated car-bonyl derivatives and their analogs. By adjusting the large substituents in the 2-position, we gained the ability to modify the therapeutic properties of the resulting compounds. The potential of the newly synthesized derivatives for cancer treatment was assessed using mo-lecular docking calculations. The results of the docking calculations suggest that some of the synthesized diaryl derivatives of pyrimidine have a strong binding affinity towards PIK3γ, making them promising candidates for the development of new anticancer medica-tions.

Conclusion:

We synthesized some pyrimidinones, dihydropyrimidinones, and 2,4-diaryl-substituted pyrimidines by combining α-aminoamidines with various saturated carbonyl derivatives and similar compounds. Molecular docking results suggest that certain diaryl derivatives of pyrimidine have a strong binding affinity for PIK3γ. Moreover, diphenyl de-rivatives of pyrimidine exhibited dual inhibitory activity against PI3K and tubulin, show-ing promise for the development of next-generation microtubule-targeting agents for use in combination therapies.

Authors: Fountopoulou Vasiliki Elvina , Vlastos Dimitris D. , Theofilou Paraskevi
Published: December 2024

Aim

This research explores burnout in the telecommunications sector, focusing on personal and organizational factors based on gender. The hypotheses relate to gender differences, work-life balance, and organizational factors.

Methods

Using the quantitative methodology, 100 employees were interviewed, assessing variables, such as age, gender, marital status, work-life balance, and organizational support with the Maslach Burnout Inventory [MBI]. The data analysis, conducted using Jamovi, led to the following key findings.

Results

No significant gender differences were observed in depersonalization, personal achievement, and emotional burnout [p = 0.498, p = 0.614, p = 0.285, respectively], rejecting the first hypothesis. The work-life imbalance was associated with higher depersonalization [p = 0.001] and emotional exhaustion [p < 0.001], partially confirming the second hypothesis. Respondents with a lack of work-life balance reported significantly greater depersonalization [average = 11.50 vs. 6.41] and emotional burnout [average = 29.60 vs. 17.24]. High workload and insufficient support were associated with increased depersonalization [p = 0.023] and emotional burnout [p = 0.002], partially confirming the third hypothesis. Participants with high workloads reported greater depersonalization [average = 8.89 vs. 4.86] and emotional exhaustion [average = 23.42 vs. 12.86].

Discussion

Rapid technological changes and high demands in the telecommunications sector exacerbate stress, highlighting the need for effective workload management, organizational support, and promoting work-life balance to mitigate burnout.

Conclusion

Moreover, the implications of the fact that no significant gender differences are observed must be investigated in future studies.

Published: December 2024

Microfinance can be an effective strategy for poverty reduction among Persons with Disability. However, lack of investment and livelihood knowledge and skills and consumption tendencies may undermine this strategy. A qualitative case study that explored the investment practices of Persons with Disability in informal microfinance groups was conducted in Uganda. Findings revealed that despite barriers to learning and investment, Persons with Disability who had positive attitudes borrowed from informal microfinance groups and invested profitably. They learned from a wide range of sources in their community. The study concludes that despite barriers, Persons with Disability borrow and invest and that attitudes, knowledge and skills, severity of impairment and location, influence their investment choices. To enhance investment, it is recommended that barriers to adult learning and investment be removed through sensitisation and training, monitoring compliance with accessibility standards and policy reforms.
How Do Peer Support and Self-Esteem Predict Normal Adjustment?: A Survey Study Among Adolescents with Visual Disabilities
Authors: Indrayani Ni Putu Ananda Putri , Immanuel Aria
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study was to determine the role of peer support and self-esteem in the normal adjustment of adolescents with visual disabilities in Bali. 24 adolescents with total blindness and 42 adolescents with low vision, aged 10 to 22 years old, were recruited using a purposive sampling method in this study. The highly reliable peer support scale, self-esteem scale, and normal adjustment scale were used to measure these variables. The results of multiple linear regression analyses showed that peer support and self-esteem significantly predicted the normal adjustment among adolescents with visual disabilities (total blindness and low vision). Furthermore, another separated multiple linear regression analysis confirmed that only self-esteem predicted normal adjustment among adolescents with total blindness condition. The implication of the results addressed the need to promote peer support and self-esteem among adolescents with visual disabilities to support their adjustment process in a not-always-inclusive environment.
Functional Products Based on Goat Milk with the Addition of Natural Antioxidants: Scientific Review
Authors: Ansori Firsty Ainun Zalzabila , Nisa Fithri Choirun , Mubarok Ahmad Zaki
Published: December 2024

The high consumer interest in functional food products not only provides basic nutrition but also adds health benefits. One of the nutrient-rich products is milk. Milk is an important and nutrient-high livestock product. Besides that, milk is also widely consumed by the people of Indonesia, one of which is goat milk. Goat milk has advantages such as having protein like breast milk, having high digestibility, and being able to be consumed by individuals who are allergic to cow's milk. Goat milk derivative products are quite diverse, including powdered goat milk, goat milk yogurt, and goat milk kefir. With its rich nutrition, goat milk has excellent potential to be developed as a functional product, especially by adding natural antioxidants. One of the ingredients in milk that can bind to antioxidants such as phenolic compounds is protein. As long as there is processing, both drying for milk powder products and the fermentation process for yogurt and kefir products can increase the antioxidant content of the final product which shows a synergistic effect on increasing the antioxidant content of the added natural ingredients. Milk protein can effectively bind to antioxidant compounds and strengthen the interaction between antioxidant compounds and casein so that the antioxidant content in the final product can be maintained. During the fermentation process, there is an increase in antioxidant value due to the activity of microbial enzymes produced during fermentation in binding and stabilization, where proteins such as casein and whey interact with antioxidant molecules like polyphenols and vitamins, forming more stable complexes. Efforts to increase the functional value of dairy products can increase antioxidant activity to ward off free radicals. Therefore, it is essential to review and analyze the various studies that have been conducted regarding the addition of natural antioxidants in goat milk to provide a comprehensive picture of the potential and challenges in the development of this product.
An Ecological Momentary Assessment Approach of Environmental Triggers in the Role of Daily Affect, Rumination, and Movement Patterns in Early Alcohol Use Among Healthy Adolescents: Exploratory Study
Authors: Prignitz Maren , Guldner Stella , Lehmler Stephan Johann , Aggensteiner Pascal-M , Nees Frauke ,   IMAC-Mind Consortium
Published: December 2024

Background

Adolescence is a period characterized by an increased susceptibility to developing risky alcohol consumption habits. This susceptibility can be influenced by social and situational factors encountered in daily life, which, in conjunction with emotions and thoughts, contribute to behavioral patterns related to alcohol use even in the early stages of alcohol experimentation, when initial experiences with alcohol are formed, and regular consumption is still evolving.

Objective

This study aimed to examine the association between detailed behavioral and movement patterns, along with emotional and cognitive factors, and the early onset of alcohol use in the everyday lives of adolescents.

Methods

A total of 65 healthy adolescents (33 male, twenty-nine 14-year-olds, and thirty-six 16-year-olds) underwent mobile-based ecological momentary assessments on alcohol (once a day at 9 AM, assessing alcohol use the day before), positive and negative affect, craving, rumination, and social context (6 prompts/day at 9 AM, 11 AM, 2 PM, 4 PM, 6 PM and 8 PM), type of day (weekdays or weekends, with weekend including Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays), and using geospatial measures (specifically roaming entropy and number and type of trigger points for alcohol use met) over 14 days. After adjusting for a compliance rate of at least 50%, 52 participants (26 male and twenty-four 14-year-olds) were included in the analyses.

Results

Generalized linear multilevel models revealed that higher positive affect (b=0.685, P=.007), higher rumination (b=0.586, P=.02), and a larger movement radius (roaming entropy) (b=8.126, P=.02) were positively associated with alcohol use on the same day. However, social context (b=–0.076, P=.90), negative affect (b=–0.077, P=.80), or potential trigger points (all P>.05) did not show significant associations. Alcohol use varied depending on the type of day, with more alcohol use on weekends (b=1.082, P<.001) and age (t50=–2.910, P=.005), with 16-year-olds (mean 1.61, SD 1.66) reporting more days of alcohol consumption than 14-year-olds (mean 0.548, SD 0.72).

Conclusions

Our findings support previously identified factors as significant contributors to very early and low levels of alcohol consumption through fine-grained analysis of daily behaviors. These factors include positive affect, rumination, weekend days, and age. In addition, we emphasize that exploratory environmental movement behavior (roaming entropy) is also significantly associated with adolescent alcohol use, highlighting its importance as an additional factor.
Self-Induced Mania Methods and Motivations Reported in Online Forums: Observational Qualitative Study
Authors: Bostock Emmanuelle CS , Nevarez-Flores Adriana G , Neil Amanda L , Pontes Halley M , Kirkby Kenneth C
Published: December 2024

Background

In bipolar disorder (BD), mania may be self-induced by manipulation of specific precipitants, as reported in case studies. Another potential source of information on the self-induction of mania is the online postings of users with lived experience of mania.

Objective

The primary aim of this study is to examine the range of methods used to self-induce mania or hypomania described by users of online forums with self-reported BD. Second, we summarize the motivations of users to engage in these behaviors.

Methods

We conducted an observational study of online forum posts that discussed self-induction of mania or hypomania, either in the posters themselves or observed firsthand in others. Posts were identified using Google advanced search operators, then extracted and coded for content in NVivo (version 12 for Mac; QSR International). A total of 44 online forum threads were identified discussing self-induced mania (n=25) or hypomania (n=19). These forums contained 585 posts by 405 usernames, of which 126 usernames discussed methods for self-induction across 327 posts (number of methods per username: median 2, IQR 1-4; range 1-11).

Results

In total, 36 methods were grouped by the authors. The most frequently reported were sleep reduction (n=50), caffeine (n=37), and cessation of medication (n=27). Twenty-six usernames reported their motivation to self-induce mania or hypomania; almost three-quarters (n=19) reported a desire to end a depressive episode. Almost a third of usernames (118/405) explicitly discouraged other forum users from self-inducing mania or hypomania.

Conclusions

Online forums provide an additional and valuable source of information about triggers for mania that may inform relapse prevention in BD. The online forum conversations investigated were generally responsible and included cautionary advice not to pursue these methods.
Characterizing Emergency Department Disposition Conversations for Persons Living With Dementia: Protocol for an Ethnographic Study
Authors: Seidenfeld Justine , Tucker Matthew , Harris-Gersten Melissa , Fix Gemmae M , Guzman Ivonne , Sperber Nina R , Hastings Susan N
Published: December 2024

Background

Almost 40% of persons living with dementia make an emergency department (ED) visit each year. One of the most impactful and costly elements of their ED care is the decision to discharge or admit them to the hospital—the “disposition” decision. When more than one reasonable option exists regarding a health care decision, such as the decision to admit or not, it often requires a complex conversation between patients, care partners, and ED providers, ideally involving shared decision-making. However, little is known about how these conversations are conducted and the real-world context in which they take place. Best practices in ED communication and shared decision-making for persons living with dementia and their care partners are limited.

Objective

This study aims to characterize current practices in ED disposition conversations for persons living with dementia and their care partners, informed by perspectives from patient and care partner participants.

Methods

This study will use an ethnographic design, including direct observation methods with a semistructured data collection tool to capture the ED encounter for up to 20 patient and care partner dyads, including all discussions about dispositions. Follow-up qualitative, semistructured interviews will be conducted with persons living with dementia and their care partners to explore specific observations made during their ED encounter, and to gain insight into their perspective on their role and elements of decision support used during that conversation.

Results

Data collection was initiated in October 2023, with 13 dyads recruited and observed as of July 2024. This study is expected to be completed by December 2024.

Conclusions

Novel methods can offer novel insights. By combining direct observation and follow-up interviews about an ED visit, our study design will provide insights into how ED disposition occurs in real-world settings for persons living with dementia. Findings can inform more patient-centered interventions for disposition decision-making.

Authors: Bayu Adiputro  , Carla Raymondalexas Marchira  , Sumarni Djaka Waluya
Published: December 2024

Tradisi slametan dalam budaya Jawa memiliki peran penting dalam mendukung kesehatan mental komunitas melalui penguatan modal sosial dan keterlibatan sosial. Tinjauan ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi lebih dalam fungsi tradisi slametan dalam mendukung kesehatan mental komunitas melalui dimensi pemberdayaan sosial dan partisipasi aktif. Tulisan ini merupakan sebuah studi literatur, yang menggunakan telaah kritis dari sumber yang diperoleh melalui berbagai portal ilmiah. Sebagai ritual komunal, slametan memperkuat ikatan sosial, memungkinkan dukungan emosional yang membantu individu mengatasi stres dan krisis psikologis. Selain itu, elemen sesajen dalam slametan mencerminkan harmoni antara manusia, alam, dan dunia spiritual, yang memperkuat rasa solidaritas di antara anggota komunitas. Meskipun modernisasi dan urbanisasi menghadirkan tantangan bagi kelangsungan tradisi ini, nilai-nilai inti slametan, seperti gotong royong dan solidaritas, dapat diadaptasi ke dalam konteks kehidupan modern. Slametan bahkan memiliki potensi untuk menjadi platform diskusi tentang kesehatan mental di masyarakat urban. Dengan demikian, slametan tidak hanya bertahan sebagai tradisi spiritual tetapi juga berfungsi sebagai mekanisme koping kolektif yang mendukung kesejahteraan psikologis komunitas. Studi ini menyoroti pentingnya mempertahankan dan mengadaptasi slametan agar tetap relevan dalam menghadapi perubahan sosial yang dinamis, sehingga tradisi ini dapat terus berkontribusi positif terhadap kesehatan mental komunitas.

Challenging Medical Norms: Disability and Societal Stigma in Perumal Murugan’s One Part Woman
Authors: Kowshigan.K Kowshigan.K , Sindhu Dr. K.
Published: December 2024

This paper critically examines the intersection of medical norms, disability, and societal stigma in Perumal Murugan's novel One Part Woman. Set in rural Tamil Nadu, the narrative of Kali and Ponna’s struggle with infertility provides a lens through which to explore how disability is constructed and perceived within traditional Indian society. This study analyzes the novel’s portrayal of cultural and medical practices that marginalize and stigmatize individuals who deviate from normative health and ability standards. By focusing on the characters’ experiences and societal interactions, the paper uncovers the deep-seated biases and prejudices that underpin these practices. Through a critical disability studies framework, this research highlights the intersectionality of gender, disability, and cultural expectations, revealing the compounded challenges faced by disabled individuals. The paper argues that Murugan's work not only critiques existing medical and societal norms but also advocates for a more inclusive and empathetic approach to disability. This analysis contributes to the broader discourse on disability studies by challenging established paradigms and promoting a re-evaluation of both medical practices and societal attitudes. The findings underscore the importance of fostering a more inclusive and equitable society, free from the stigmas that perpetuate discrimination against disabled individuals. This study provides valuable insights for scholars and practitioners interested in the intersections of literature, culture, and disability, offering a significant contribution to the advancement of disability studies and the promotion of inclusivity.

Published: December 2024

Abstract: This study aimed to determine the profiles and competency levels of Special Education Teachers (SpEdT) and
Receiving Teachers (ReT) in applying the TPACK framework to facilitate learning in an inclusive setting. It assessed the
components of the TPACK framework that required improvement based on the teachers' competencies and examined the
significant relationship between the teachers' profiles and their competency in applying the TPACK framework. The findings
served as the basis for a teacher development plan for the 2024–2025 school year in selected public schools in the Tri-City area
of Metro Cebu that offered Special and Inclusive Education (SIE) programs. The study employed varied research designs,
including cross-sectional, correlational, and descriptive correlation approaches. The collected data were analyzed using
frequency, weighted mean, and Chi-square tests. The research found that most respondents were female, aged 44 to 53, married,
and pursuing a master’s degree, with 13 to 18 years of experience in managing 11 to 20 learners, primarily those with
intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, or orthopedic disabilities, in self-contained classrooms. While all TPACK
components were rated as "Competent," only Pedagogical Knowledge (PK) was rated as "Highly Competent," whereas
Technological Knowledge (TK), Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), and Technological Content Knowledge (TCK) received
lower scores. The study found no significant relationship between most profile factors and TPACK competencies. However, the
sex of the teachers was significantly related to their Content Knowledge (CK) competency, while Pedagogical Content Knowledge
(PCK) and Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) were significantly related to civil status. Additionally, the type of class
assignment had a significant relationship with CK competency. Overall, SpEdT and ReT teachers were considered competent in
applying the TPACK framework for inclusive education. The study recommended implementing a development plan that
included professional development, partnerships, and ongoing competency monitoring

Historiography of Indonesian Culinary: Tracing Trails and National Identity Through the History of Food
Authors: Rohmawati Yulia
Published: December 2024

Indonesia's cultural heritage, especially its food traditions, needs more thorough documentation, making it hard to learn about the culture and national identity through cuisine. This often leads to cuisine being seen as just food, ignoring its deeper cultural and philosophical meanings. This study uses a historical approach to address this gap in understanding Indonesian culinary history. Various sources like photos, videos, documents, newspapers, and magazines are used as primary sources in this research. The research finds many historical cookbooks from colonial times to after Indonesia gained independence, each with unique features. These cookbooks reflect the cultural context of their time. Recognizing cuisine as a dynamic part of national identity, evolving over time and across regions, is crucial in establishing a national cuisine. This requires a deep dive into culinary history and an understanding of the role of Indonesian culinary historiography in shaping the nation's food culture.
Teacher Agency in Reproducing Translanguaging Practices as Social Justice Strategy to Decolonize ELT
Authors:   Atma Jaya Catholic University, Indonesia, Putra Harjuli Surya
Published: December 2024

Teachers are vital internal pioneers who can make changes in their own classroom by developing an enhanced sense of agency. In multilingual classrooms, teacher agency is the capacity of language teachers to perform constructively for supporting students’ linguistic diversity equitably. This study uncovers the potential strategy of teacher agency to create translanguaging space in empowering EFL students’ semiotic repertoire toward linguistic justice and inclusion to resist a raciolinguistics ideology. Drawing upon the translanguaging and agency conceptual framework, data were collected from classroom observations and video-stimulated-recall-interview of teacher’s pedagogical translanguaging practices in an EFL classroom in Indonesia. Multimodal Conversation Analysis triangulated with the video-stimulated-recall-interview data analyzed applying Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used as a technique of data analysis. Findings revealed three key themes that trace the teacher agency in constructing translanguaging practices in EFL classroom as follows: (1) adjusting language use to suit the students’ English competence as a process to guide and help them in the classroom discussion, (2) empowering the relational and critical dispositions, drawing from all linguistic resources to help students negotiate various communicative contexts for inclusive and meaningful communication, (3) providing that all students get more equitable and inclusive education to freely employ their semiotic repertoire. The findings demonstrate how the enactment of teacher translanguaging agency employed in turn influenced students’ agency to demonstrate transformative participation in classroom activities.
