Authors: Febriannor Muhammad , Syakarofath Nandy Agustin , Widyasari Dian Caesaria , Karmiyati Diah
Published: May 2024

People experience more rapid physical, social, and emotional development in adolescence than in any other developmental stage. The dramatic changes may cause them volatile mental conditions and difficulties in overcoming various behavioral problems summarised as internalizing (IP) and externalizing problems (EP). One of the protective factors is emotional intelligence (EI) because someone with good emotional intelligence can control emotions when angry and adapt to unpleasant situations. This study aimed to determine the role of EI on IP and EP in Indonesian adolescents. This study used a quantitative research design with a simple random sampling technique. The research subjects were adolescents aged 15 to 18 years (N = 300) who attended nine high schools in East Java, consisting of 96 males and 204 females. The research instruments used were the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (SEIS) and the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The results showed a significant negative role between emotional intelligence and internalizing problems (R2 =.391; F(1,298) = 191.649; p <.001) and externalizing problems (R2 =.281; F(1.298) = 116.230; p <.001). The higher one's ability to understand, regulate, and use emotions, the lower the manifestation of internal and external problematic behavior. It means that EI is confirmed to predict the IP and EP. The way to advance the capacity of adolescents' emotional intelligence is to try to express emotions and regulate and utilize their feelings. So adolescents do not develop mental health problems.

Authors: Corte Pablo
Published: May 2024

Los programas sociales de transferencias monetarias tienen impacto en los ingresos de muchos hogares donde las mujeres son beneficiarias de estos. El presente documento revisa el comportamiento de los Programas para el Bienestar en los hogares rurales basados en la producción agrícola y dirigidos a mujeres. La hipótesis afirma que un hogar encabezado por una mujer, tiene menos probabilidades para ser beneficiario de los programas. Utilizando modelos probit y logit con base en información de la Encuesta Nacional de Ingreso y Gasto de los Hogares (ENIGH) de 2022, se mide el grado de participación de las mujeres en las políticas sociales dirigidas al campo del actual Gobierno federal, mientras que, al mismo tiempo, se realiza una prueba t para comparación de muestras grupales que señalan diferencias de ingresos entre los hogares, cuyos jefes de familia son hombres con respecto a las mujeres, sin que haya una diferencia estadística entre mujeres beneficiarias de los programas y quienes no lo son.

Media Framing in Responding to Articles on Blasphemy Through Islamic Newspapers in 1918-1919
Authors: Mutoharoh Rina , Safitry Martina
Published: May 2024

This research examines the responses of Islamic press, including Oetoesan Hindia, Medan Moeslimin, and Islam Bergerak, to the controversial religious blasphemy published by Djawi Hiswara's newspaper in 1918. The research employs historical methodology and a journalistic approach with framing analysis popularized by Robert M. Entman. Primary sources are drawn from the National Library of Indonesia, complemented by secondary sources such as books, journals, and theses. The results reveal variations in the internal responses of the Muslim community, influenced by backgrounds and conflicts of interest. Oetoesan Hindia demonstrated its firm stance against Djawi Hiswara, demanding punishment for the controversial editor and writer. Tjokroaminoto, through Oetoesan Hindia, seized the opportunity to consolidate SI members, resulting in the formation of Tentara Kandjeng Nabi Muhammad. While Medan Moeslimin and Islam Bergerak supported punishment, both newspapers criticized the slow movement of TKNM and the central Sarekat Islam. Internal conflicts escalated, with Haji Misbach criticizing Muhammadiyah and the SI Center for their perceived sluggish response to the Djawi Hiswara case. Eventually, Djawi Hiswara's conflict faded from media coverage, replaced by more crucial issues within the internal Muslim community. Martodharsono was freed from legal entanglements, and Djawi Hiswara's newspaper ceased publication in 1919

Effect of spent engine oil pollution and liquid organic fertilizer application on soil chemical properties and nutrient contents of Maize (Zea Mays)
Authors: Kawedo Elvis , Omokaro Godspower , Law-Ogbomo Kolawole Edomwonyi
Published: May 2024

A trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of spent engine oil (SEO), bio-treated with liquid organic fertilizer, on maize plant growth. The study utilized three concentrations of SEO (0.5 and 10% w/w) and four liquid organic fertilizers (water control, cattle dung, poultry manure and rabbit manure). These factors were arranged in a 3 × 4 factorial setup with three replications in a completely randomized design. Collected data included percentage moisture, dry weight, nutrient content and uptake, heavy metal concentration, and post-harvest soil chemical properties. Soil composite samples on physical and chemical analysis carried out show that the engine oil pollution negatively affected soil pH, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, and exchangeable cations, but it increased total organic carbon before maize cultivation. The percentage moisture and dry weight of the maize plant were not significantly (p > 0.5) influenced by engine oil pollution or liquid organic fertilizer application. N, P and Mg content of maize plant were significantly reduced by the engine oil pollution but significantly boosted by organic fertilizer application. Cr and Pb content of the maize were increased with engine oil concentration but decreased with liquid organic fertilizer. Nutrient uptake was decreased with increase in engine oil content but increased with liquid organic fertilizer application. At the end of the experiment, engine oil pollution significantly depressed pH, total N, available P and exchangeable cations, but increased organic C, total hydrocarbon, exchangeable Al and heavy metal content while it was opposite for liquid organic fertilizer. Our findings suggested that soils polluted with SEO should be corrected with the application of organic fertilizers.
Principles of bacterial genome organization, a conformational point of view
Authors: Ponndara Sokrich , Kortebi Mounia , Boccard Frédéric , Bury-Moné Stéphanie , Lioy Virginia
Published: May 2024

In bacteria, the chromosome is folded into a structure called the
nucleoid. This compaction must facilitate and maintain key biological
processes such as gene expression and DNA transactions (replication,
recombination, repair, segregation). Chromosome and chromatin
3D-organization in bacteria has been a puzzle for decades. Chromosome
conformation capture coupled to deep sequencing (HiC) in combination
with other ‘omics’ approaches has allowed dissection of the structural
layers that shape bacterial chromosome organization, from DNA topology
to global chromosome architecture. Here we review the latest findings in
the field and discuss the main features of bacterial genome folding.

Published: May 2024

In this paper, we present an Augmented Reality (AR)-based application
combined with a robotic system for percutaneous renal puncture
navigation interaction and demonstrate its technical feasibility. Our
system provides an intuitive interaction scheme between the surgeon and
the robot without the need for traditional external input devices, and
applies an image-target-based 3D registration scheme to transform the
coordinate system between Hololens2 and the robot without using
additional tracking devices. Users can visualise the abdominal puncture
phantom and obtain 3D depth information of the lesion site by wearing
Hololens2 and control the robot directly using buttons or gestures. To
investigate the accuracy and feasibility of the proposed interaction
scheme, six subjects were recruited to complete 3D registration
alignment accuracy experiments, and puncture positioning accuracy
experiments using ultrasound unaided navigation, AR unaided navigation
and AR robotic navigation. The results showed that the average alignment
error of 3D registration was 3.61±1.05 mm. The average positioning
errors of ultrasound freehand navigation, AR freehand navigation and AR
robotic navigation were 7.67±2.00 mm, 6.13±1.07 mm and 5.52±0.37 mm,
respectively; the average puncture times were 34.86±1.67 s, 22.40±2.07
s, and 29.41±1.37 s.

Understanding the effectiveness of statin treatment is essential for developing tailored stroke prevention strategies. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of statin treatment in preventing recurrent stroke among patients with various ischemic stroke subtypes. Using data from the Clinical Research Collaboration for Stroke-Korea-National Institute for Health (CRCS-K-NIH) registry, we included patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted between January 2011 and July 2020. To evaluate the differential effects of statin treatment based on the ischemic stroke subtype, we analyzed patients with large artery atherosclerosis (LAA), cardio-embolism (CE), and small vessel occlusion (SVO). The primary outcomes were recurrent ischemic stroke and recurrent stroke events. The hazard ratio for outcomes between statin users and nonusers was compared using a Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for covariates. A total of 46,630 patients who met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. Statins were prescribed to 92%, 93%, and 78% of patients with LAA, SVO, and CE subtypes, respectively. The hazards of recurrent ischemic stroke and recurrent stroke in statin users were reduced to 0.79 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.63-0.99) and 0.77 (95% CI, 0.62-0.95) in the LAA subtype and 0.63 (95% CI, 0.52-0.76) and 0.63 (95% CI, 0.53-0.75) in CE subtype compared to nonusers. However, the hazards of these outcomes did not significantly decrease in the SVO subtype. The effectiveness of statin treatment in reducing the risk of recurrent stroke in patients with LAA and CE subtypes has been suggested. Nonetheless, no significant effect was observed in the SVO subtype, suggesting a differential effect of statins on different stroke subtypes.

Published: May 2024

At secondary level, great importance is put in teaching and assessment on the ability to write texts that meet the conventions of text types. For the Austrian school system, descriptions of text types for German, English, French, Italian and Spanish are available. However, the text types differ across languages. This study focuses on English. It uses a set of 23 descriptive statements, derived from text linguistic theory, to empirically investigate their suitability to characterise the constructs held by practicing teachers for eight text types for L2 English. This approach has already been applied to German as the language of instruction (Sigott et al. 2020) and can be applied to all other languages. The results for English show that the suitability of the 23 statements varies considerably across text types. A subset of statements turns out to be suitable as dimensions for comparing all the English text types. In addition, statements are identified which are suitable to characterise individual text types and statements which should not be considered in describing text types and, therefore, not used in formulating assessment criteria. This is valuable information for teaching and relevant for assessment practice. These results are presented in a polarity profile for each text type.
Aushandeln gemeinsamer Verständnisebenen in mehrsprachiger videobasierter Interaktion
Authors: Uskokovic Budima
Published: May 2024

This paper concerns practices of establishing common ground – mutual knowledge, mutual beliefs, and mutual assumptions – in talk-in-interaction between L1 and L2 speakers in video-mediated interactions (VMI). Specifically, I use the theory and methodology of conversation analysis and multimodality to first investigate how L1 speakers of German position L2 speakers in multilingual interactions and how they attempt to establish common ground prior to displaying their epistemic status. In addition, this paper investigates talk and embodied practices utilized by L1 speakers of German to establish common ground with L2 speakers of German prior to demonstrating their firsthand experience and expertise in videoconferencing conversations. By analyzing practices to establish common ground, this paper demonstrates the ways in which L1 speakers establish common ground with L2 speakers, namely 1) by co-constructing the meaning of the word without even having direct epistemic access to a particular cultural product, 2) by checking L2 speaker’s epistemic status, and 3) by asking follow-up questions.
„Vielleicht kann ich meinen Bildschirm teilen“ – Management von Spanisch-Online-Interaktionen im Rahmen eines Virtual Exchange
Authors: García García Marta , Martínez Niño Najara
Published: May 2024

Virtual Exchange (VE) initiatives in higher education have seen an extraordinary increase in recent years. While the language of communication in VE in the great majority of cases is English, there is a considerable lack of studies on how VEs are conducted in other languages. In this paper, we report on some preliminary results of a VE project with Spanish as the lingua franca that took place in 2021 between members of the ENLIGHT Network as an extra-curricular activity. During the project various students of Spanish from different study backgrounds met in small groups via Zoom. The interactions, therefore, had the character of conversations-for-learning (Kasper/Kim 2015). None of the participants had the official role of a teacher or leader. The focus of this paper is on the question of the interactional self-management which means that we are looking at how the leading roles are managed. Specifically, we will analyze the common strategy of sharing the screen on Zoom. By comparing groups, we also provide insights into the effects of this particular practice on the interactions.
Reconstruction of the phonological system of a 16th-century Piedmontese dialect
Authors: Ferrarotti Lorenzo
Published: May 2024

This article aims to reconstruct some aspects of the phonological system of the 16th-century Piedmontese dialect of Asti on the basis of the textual corpus provided by Giovan Giorgio Alione’s Opera Jocunda (1521). Its relations with contemporary dialects are examined through internal and comparative reconstruction. If, in many cases, some important continuities have been found, many discontinuities are present as well. At that time, this dialect had a richer phonemic inventory compared to mainstream contemporary Piedmontese dialects, at least as far as consonant phonemes are concerned. In terms of general diachronic evolution, the reconstruction shows that Piedmontese behaved like a Western-Romance language because it shared several historical phonological evolutions with Gallo-Romance and Ibero-Romance, but not with Italian. In this context, it underwent several mergers common to other Gallo-Italian dialects (e.g., the deaffrication of the alveolar affricates). From a language contact point of view, the phonology of the old dialect of Asti shows significant interferences with Middle French (mainly via lexical borrowing), but also with some «high» Northern Italian vernacular, therefore sharing a contact dynamic with Lombard dialects of that time.

Contact lenses and dry eye syndrome: can they be reconciled?
Authors: Waszczykowska Arleta
Published: May 2024

The function of the tear film is to moisturize, lubricate, nourish, and protect the delicate surfaces of the cornea and conjunctival epithelium covering the eyeball and eyelids. A healthy tear film is crucial for shaping and maintaining a smooth refractive surface of the cornea, ensuring proper optical function of the eye by eliminating small irregularities in the epithelium. Contact lens wearers often experience various discomforts related to wearing lenses, known as contact lens discomfort (CLD), which can lead to discontinuation of lens wear. CLD is frequently associated with dry eye disease, caused by tear film disorders resulting from incorrect composition, reduced production, or excessive evaporation of tears from the ocular surface. Contact lens wear can diminish corneal sensitivity and lead to a reflex blockade of sensation, causing a deficiency in the aqueous layer of the tear film. Additionally, wearing contact lenses may increase tear evaporation due to reduced blinking frequency and incomplete eyelid closure during blinking. This paper discusses therapeutic approaches and modifications in lens fitting aimed at maintaining a healthy ocular surface and improving comfort for contact lens wearers.

Published: May 2024

This research explores the interconnectedness between readiness, the adoption of online teaching, attitude, and behavioral intention concerning Online Distance Learning (ODL) within the realm of hospitality and tourism instruction. The study framework intergrates the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model and Technology Readiness (TR) dimension. The data, collected through purposive sampling and online surveys from 248 instructors, was analyzed using Partial-least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to assess the study's model and hypotheses. The outcomes reveal that factors such as effort expectancy (EE), performance expectancy (PE), and social influence (SI) directly impact instructors' attitudes towards ODL. Additionally, the study establishes that technical, pedagogical, and lifestyle readiness are robust indicators for enhancing instructors' behavioral intention towards ODL. Intriguingly, the sole distinction between the theoretical and practical class arises in the interaction between instructors' technical and lifestyle readiness regarding behavioral intention. The pragmatic implications of this study underscore the significance of instructors' attitude and technology readiness in driving the adoption of ODL within the hospitality and tourism instruction domain. Furthermore, the study's findings offer valuable insights to policymakers, aiding them in developing effective methodologies for practical class teaching within the ODL framework and aligned with the dynamic environment of online learning.

The present study attempts to measure the usage of OTT platforms and its effect on students’ academic lives concerning academic performance, concentration and productivity, health issues, time-management, and their socio-demographic profile. The study employed explanatory descriptive research designs and sent out instruments measuring usage of OTT and other variables to 800 students across India. The study obtained 535 successful responses from the students pursuing 11th grade to post-graduation. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, parametric t-test, ANOVA and MANOVA. The study revealed that students used OTT platforms extensively for entertainment.  Descriptive data gave a detailed account of their academic lives during the COVID-19 crisis. Usage of OTT affected their academic performance, concentration and productivity, health and time management. The study recommends future researchers to find the positive and negative effects of OTT usage on the youth in the post-pandemic scenario.

Science disciplines require a deeper study of theoretical material by performing laboratory work, which includes performing experiments. In this regard, it will be useful to actively introduce new technologies into the educational process. In this study, QR codes were integrated into the Organic Chemistry Course textbook to direct university and high school students to the appropriate videos about the experiments. In this respect, this study aimed to analyze university and high school students` acceptance of the QR code technology used in the "Organic Chemistry" course. This research model is based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology2 (UTAUT2). Hence, the study included perceived playfulness, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, behavioral intention, and attitude as the major antecedents of students’ acceptance of QR codes. In total, 204 Kyrgyz students in university and high school level participated in this study. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis was applied to analyze the effects of factors on students’ acceptance of QR codes. The study revealed that facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, social influence, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness are the significant factors towards students` acceptance of QR code use in Organic Chemistry course.

In this work, NiO–ZnOnanocomposite (NC)was prepared through a facile, low-temperature,sol–gel route. Zinc acetate dihydrate, nickel chloride hexahydrate, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), and citric acid were used in the synthesis of the material. Then, the sample was kept in the muffle furnace at a temperature of 600°C for 2 h. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV–Visible spectroscopy, and photocatalytic and antifungal investigations were used to characterize the synthesized nanocrystallites. The XRD data showedthe polycrystalline hexagonal ZnO nanoparticles and cubic NiO crystallites. FTIR studies confirmed the presence of Zn-O and Ni-O bonds in the sample. The FESEM analysis showed the morphology of nanocrystallitescharacterized by their homogeneous shape and size. The absorbance curves from the UV–Visible spectroscopy investigation revealed the bandgap of 3.17 eV. The research findings demonstrate that the NiO–ZnO NC possesses the significant level of selected microbial pathogens. Industrial dyesmake water unhealthy for drinking. Among these dyes, methylene blue (MB) is toxic, carcinogenic, and non-biodegradable, and causes a severe threat to human health and environmental safety. Hence, it is necessary to develop efficient and environmentally friendly technology to remove MB from wastewater. The ZnO–NiO NC degraded the MB dye pollutant under visible irradiation (125 W), according to photocatalytic tests. After 120 min of exposure, the photocatalytic investigations demonstrated 75% degradation efficiency.
