Living museum sebagai sumber pembelajaran Sejarah (comparative studies in Bali and West Java)
Authors: Supriatna Nana , Pageh I Made
Published: November 2023

Artikel ini ditulis berdasarkan kajian pustaka berbasis Sejarah dan studi lapangan dengan metode etnografi mengenai museum hidup (living museum) dan potensi penggunaannya secara pedagogis dalam pembelajaran Sejarah. Artikel ini merupakan kolaborasi dua peneliti dari daerah berbeda, yaitu Bali dan Jawa Barat dengan fokus kajian pada kedua daerah tersebut. Kedua daerah ini memiliki karakteristik budaya dan pengalaman historis berbeda. Akan tetapi, keduanya memiliki persamaan yaitu warisan pengalaman masa lalu berbentuk artefak dan tradisi yang sarat dengan nilai-nilai kearifan lokal. Artefak yang tampak tidak hanya berbentuk benda fisik yang tersimpan di museum melainkan juga berbentuk nilai-nilai yang kini dirawat, dilestarikan dan dipraktikkan dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Namun demikian, nilai-nilai tradisional yang diklaim menggambarkan keaslian budaya lokal tersebut tidak selalu menggambarkan keasliannya. Hal ini karena faktor interaksi budaya selain faktor hegemoni warisan zaman kolonial yang terus berlangsung hingga sekarang. Dalam perspektif pos-kolonial, upacara adat, dan relief pura di Bali sudah mengalami hibridisasi. Demikian juga tradisi mengolah dan mengonsumsi pangan lokal di Jawa Barat mengalami mimikri berupa peniruan terhadap simbol-simbol budaya dari luar. Nilai-nilai hidup itulah -sekalipun merupakan bentuk percampuran budaya- dalam penelitian ini disebut sebagai living museum. Secara pedagogis, kedua peneliti menawarkan nilai-nilai tersebut untuk dijadikan sebagai sumber pembelajaran Sejarah di sekolah. Tujuannya adalah untuk menumbuhkan rasa cinta pada budaya lokal dan budaya bangsa sekaligus menumbuhkan kesadaran sejarah kritis.

ABSTRACT

In recent years, fruit flies (Diptera: Drosophilidae and Tephritidae) have become an increasingly severe problem in fruit production in Turkey. Ceratitis capitata Wied., Rhagoletis cerasi L. (Diptera: Tephritidae), Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) and Zaprionus indianus (Gupta) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) are the leading pests that cause worms in fruits. Using adult trapping, we studied the population dynamics of this four pests at different altitudes fruit orchards of Adana, during 2019 and 2020. R. cerasi adults emerged after the second week of May, and the last adult emergence was seen with the completion of the harvest. Adult population density was found at low levels. D. suzukii adults appeared at 113m (Balcalı) in April, and their emergence times were observed to be a little later as the altitude increased, and it was determined that they continued their existence in nature until the end of December. It has the highest populations in late June - mid-July and late October - November. The time of occurrence of C. capitata and Z. indianus adults in nature in both years was after cherry fruits were harvested. It has been observed that in different orchards, they appear in direct proportion as the altitude increases (from 113 m to 1510 m), the earliest in a low altitude place and the longer their duration in nature.

Authors: Ogira Dosila A. , Warutere Peterson N. , Yitambe Andre
Published: November 2023

Background: Job satisfaction has been widely studied as a key factor that influences efficiency and effectiveness among healthcare workforces. However, one notable category that has been largely overlooked by researchers are the mortuary staff in part because of the stigma surrounded in the topic of death leading to them working in deplorable work environments. This study sought to address this gap by examining work environment factors influencing job satisfaction among mortuary staff in selected public and private mortuaries in Nairobi City County, Kenya.
Methods: Cross sectional study design, adopting qualitative and quantitative data collection was used in this study. A sample size of 193 respondents were selected from public and private mortuaries. Key Informant interviews were used to provide additional qualitative data.
Results: The study revealed that the overall satisfaction level was 44.7%. Chi-square analysis revealed significant relationship between; marital status (p=0.033) and solidarity among employees in the department (p=0.024). However, other factors such as provision of the right tools and equipment (p=0.061), appropriateness of daily working hours (p=0.265) and level of staffing (p=0.264), were not statistically significant in this study.
Conclusions: The study revealed a suboptimal job satisfaction level among mortuary staff in Nairobi County. This research calls for a better understanding of the dynamics of job satisfaction among mortuary staff by facility administrators as well as policy makers. Such information is integral to future policy development and decisions about appropriate strategies for intervention.

Authors: Jagadeesh Bharath , Minj Rohit Ranjan Paul , Bhatnagar Anuj
Published: November 2023

Background: Numerous studies have documented an intergenerational cycle of adolescent motherhood, wherein daughters of adolescent mothers are more likely to follow suit. This pattern may result from biological predisposition, heritable attitudes, or the socioeconomic environment influenced by early childbirth. Surprisingly, the same cycle among young fathers remains unexplored in India. This research paper seeks to enrich the existing body of knowledge by shedding light on the intergenerational cycle of adolescent fatherhood in the rural Jharkhand and Odisha, possibly as a first of its kind study.
Methods: A case control study was conducted between June 2023 to August 2023 amongst adolescent males residing in rural areas of Jharkhand and Odisha states with sample size of 228 using multi-stage sampling technique.
Results: The study did not reveal statistically significant association between adolescent fathers of this generation and adolescent fathers or adolescent mothers of previous generation, unlike in the case of adolescent mothers.
Conclusions: To address adolescent reproductive sexual Health challenges in rural Jharkhand and Odisha effectively, it is imperative to emphasize targeted educational campaigns with cultural sensitivity, actively involve adolescent males and maintain a steadfast long-term commitment to fostering cultural transformation.

Published: November 2023

Background: Mobile phones have become an indispensable part of today's modern world. But with various day-to-day benefits, mobile phones also bring detrimental effects on the health of users. Ear being the closest organ in contact with phones, faces maximum effect of electromagnetic waves generated by them. Chronic exposure to these waves and sounds can result in permanent hearing loss. Hence, the present study was done to assess the association between hearing loss and duration of mobile usage.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on mobile phone users between the age group of 20 and 40 years in the Department of ENT, Rajindra Hospital, Patiala over 6 months (1 August 2022 to 31 January 2023). 600 volunteers were involved and divided into three groups based on the duration of mobile phone usage. Pure tone audiometry and DPOAE were used to assess the hearing loss in these subjects.
Results: A variable degree of hearing loss was observed on PTA and DPOAE in all three groups with a significant association between hearing loss and the duration of mobile phone usage. A higher proportion of sensorineural hearing loss was observed in the group with mobile phone usage of more than 1 hour per day for a minimum of 4 years as compared to those who used them for <1 hour per day for a minimum of 4 years and control group (p=0.001) which was significant statistically.
Conclusions: People using mobile phones for long hours are at higher risk of developing hearing loss, especially in the dominant ear.

Published: November 2023

Background: Road traffic accidents (RTA) pose a significant socio-economic burden and global public health concern. Monitoring road safety initiatives' efficacy necessitates analysing RTA incidence. This study examines time zone-specific RTA mortality in Kerala state, India, from 2016 to 2021.
Methods: Utilizing compiled secondary-level time series data, the study encompasses total RTA fatalities in Kerala from 2016 to 2021. Data includes fatalities per year in nine consecutive three-hour time periods. Exploratory data analysis, time series regression, and exponential smoothing were employed for analysis.
Results: Data reveals fluctuating trends in road accident (RA) fatalities, peaking in 2018 with a notable decrease in 2020. 18:00 to 21:00 recorded the highest and lowest fatalities, total 901 deaths. Disproportionate RA fatalities occurred from 06:00 to 09:00 (527 deaths) and 15:00 to 18:00 (697.5 deaths). The study employs Holt-Winters exponential smoothing for short-term forecasting, with a mean absolute scaled error (MASE) less than 1 signifying accurate predictions.
Conclusions: The analysis highlights temporal patterns, emphasizing 18:00 to 21:00 as critical. Holt-Winters exponential smoothing proves vital for accurate short-term forecasting, with MASE reflecting precision. Urgency is stressed in adopting targeted measures for time-specific road accidents. Government intervention is pivotal, advocating for improved infrastructure, enhanced driver education, efficient vehicle management, and sustained traffic enforcement. Tailoring traffic laws to time zones, coupled with forecasting techniques, aligns with the overarching goal of enhancing road safety and reducing RA mortality rates.
First biological inclusion in Upper Cretaceous Texas amber, USA
Authors: Cifuentes-Ruiz Paulina , Friedman Virginia , Lambert Joseph B. , Mustoe George , Bugarin Alejandro , Vega Francisco J.
Published: November 2023

The first biological inclusion in Cretaceous (Cenomanian) amber from Texas (USA) is here documented. Most of the Cretaceous ambers with biological inclusions are from Europe (Spain, France) and Myanmar (Asia). Although the coleopteran here reported is microscopic and incomplete, it preserves enough morphological details to be identified as a member of the Family Ptinidae Latreille, 1802. This antecedent is significative and reveals the potential of this Cretaceous amber to contain more diverse bioinclusions, since the paleoenvironment suggested by the sediments that contain the amber and the ecological affinity of recent representatives of the Ptinidae suggest a humid forest near an estuary, associated to deltaic plain deposits. Este hallazgo representa la inclusión biológica en ámbar más antigua en las Americas.

We live in a world of network economies and we make decisions based on the assumptions of experience economics. In the era of wars and pandemics, classical economic theories become particularly important. In modern socio-economic conditions, local government plays an important role in community life. The basic unit of local government is the municipality. The municipality, as the most important unit, carries out public tasks and meets the needs of the local and regional community. The basis of financial management of the municipality is the budget. The purpose of the work is to analyse the budget reports with an assessment of the efficiency of financial resource management, and the formation of the budget performance of the local government unit in 2016–2019. The specific goal is to analyse the comparative performance of the local government unit during the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. An important intention of the authors of the monograph is the realization of the cognitive values and practical dimensions of the research. Methodological triangulation was used.

CLINICAL AND LABORATORY EVALUTION OF THE EFFICACY OF A PHARMACOLODICAL COMPOSITION OF COMBINED ACTION IN THE TREATMENT OF PERIODONTITIS IN SUBJECTS WITH POOR ADHERENCE TO TREATMENT
Authors: Dzyuba Elena , Nagaeva Marina
Published: November 2023

The treatment of chronic periodontitis is based on a comprehensive approach that includes supportive therapy, which requires patient commitment to treatment. Patient commitment to treatment is enhanced by the use of appropriate therapeutic regimens and the use of medications in the form of fixed combinations.

Objective of the study: to assess the clinical effectiveness of a new pharmacological composition for the treatment of chronic periodontitis in patients with insufficient treatment adherence.

Materials and methods: a study and treatment were conducted on 92 patients with moderate-severity chronic periodontitis with insufficient treatment adherence (control group, n = 62 – received standard treatment; main group, n = 30 – received standard treatment supplemented with the new pharmacological composition). The level of treatment adherence was determined using the Treatment Adherence Quantification Questionnaire. Comparative assessment of treatment effectiveness in the study groups was conducted dynamically at control points (7, 14 days, 1, 6 months) based on clinical-instrumental data, periodontal tissue condition index assessment (OHI-S, PMA, PI), microcirculation condition (linear and volumetric blood flow velocities, pulsatility index). Disease outcome was recorded after 6 months: compensation, stabilization, or development of a new disease related to the primary one.

Results: The main group of patients showed statistically significantly lower PMA and PI index values at all control points. Microcirculation indicators significantly improved at the 14-day, 1-month, and 6-month control points compared to the control group. The recurrence rate after 6 months in the main group was 1.6 times lower than in the control group.

Conclusion: The use of a new pharmacological composition for the treatment of chronic periodontitis in patients with insufficient treatment adherence showed clinical effectiveness, leading to longer stabilization of the process and compensation of the condition in over half of the cases.
CAUSES OF DENTAL REMOVAL IN PSYCHIATRIC PATIENTS
Authors: Ilyina Roza , Muchamedzhanova Lubov
Published: November 2023

According to the literature, in a mentally healthy population, the main cause of tooth extraction is complications of caries and periodontitis, mainly in elderly and senile patients. In patients with psychiatric pathology, many authors note the high prevalence of dental diseases and emphasize the need for tooth extraction.

The aim of the investigation was to study the structure of dental diseases requiring tooth extraction in psychiatric hospital patients.

Material and methods of research. Information was copied from 1812 dental records of patients who were on inpatient treatment at the V.N. Bekhterev RCPB in the period from 2014 to 2016 at the age of 16 to 82 years (879 men and 933 women). The main reason for hospitalization of most patients was the diagnosis of schizophrenia (59%). The statistical software package SPSS 13.0 (1999) was used for statistical processing of the results.

The results of the study. During the study period, the dental surgeons of the RCPB received 1812 patients who had 2187 teeth removed. Mostly, the tooth extraction operation was performed for chronic periodontitis (47.2%). The greatest number of removals for periodontitis was observed in elderly patients (57.1%). The smallest number of teeth removed due to periodontitis was observed in the group of middle-aged patients (45–59 years) and amounted to 36.3% of the total number of teeth removed. This is due to the predominance of chronic periodontitis in these patients, which is comparable to the indicators in patients without psychiatric pathology. In the group of elderly and senile patients, tooth extraction surgery for chronic periodontitis was performed in 49.3% of cases.

Conclusions. The main reason for tooth extraction in mentally ill patients was chronic periodontitis and its exacerbation – 47.2%. The average age of these patients was 59.16 ± 14.33 years in men and 52.91 ± 11.85 years in women. The predominance of chronic periodontitis in the structure of the causes of tooth extraction in patients of the middle age group indicates an early clinical manifestation of inflammatory and destructive changes in the periodontium.

This article presents a pilot experiment on subjects from three Social Sciences degrees at two public Andalusian universities. The aim is to analyze the teaching guides and their presentation to students as a means of communicating with them, primarily through the video format instead of the conventional written format. To this end, attractive, clear and relatable video teaching guides have been developed to present to students, aware of the success of short videos dominating digital social networks, especially among younger age groups. A knowledge test was given to 99 students on the subject contents, as well as a satisfaction test; the following information was processed through the SPSS program. The main conclusion is that students have a high degree of satisfaction and a better knowledge of the new video guide format than the conventional written model.

Both authors express their gratefulness to the whole Tuning Academy and to the many colleagues who cooperated to their editorial experience. Moreover, revisiting that period, they present some new remarks and reflection on that “incredible 5-years journey”. Anna’s contribution focusses on three big added values, that – according to her editorial experience – TJHE offered (and offers) to the higher education community worldwide. Indeed, TJHE offers – in the first place – a platform of individual and collective reflection on the themes emerging in the international scenario; in the second place, it offers an inclusive international approach, the variety of countries represented by authors being very large; finally, it offers a reference database, since it collects a variety of scholarly experience, from more structured projects and reforms to local teaching innovation and scholarship of teaching and learning. In Lupo’s contribution, the focus is “a meditation on competences”, those which are the heart of the Tuning community. The contribution starts from a description of the different competences and roles, which occur in a well-structured editorial process (whose achievement was the aim of those 5 years). Such an example – in its particular context – shows the complementarity and the circularity of competences, qualities which are present even in more general contexts of human life. Moreover, this example leads to a deeper understanding of the splendour and magnificence, that the competences may generate.
Factors that influence the dominance of an enterprise reference architecture

Published: November 2023

Reference architectures provide template solutions for particular domains and can therefore be considered as standards. This study investigates whether diversity in enterprise reference architectures is likely to continue or if one reference architecture will gain dominance in the market. More specifically, we examine factors that lead to market dominance. We use the literature on standards battles, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework to analyse factors for dominance. In this field, network effects apply and provide a force towards the dominance of a single architecture. However, factors contributing to multiple standards are more relevant, as well as those from TAM and TOE, since reference architectures differ slightly in their added value for various categories of stakeholders.

Empirical data from 19 expert interviews provide further insights into the factors that influence the dominance of an enterprise reference architecture. Our results show that it is important that the content and value of reference architectures are straightforward and understandable, not only for architects but for all stakeholders. We extend current standards battles literature by applying it to a new area and combining it with TAM and TOE. We provide an innovative and extensive list of factors that influence the dominance of one standard and the continued coexistence of multiple standards and relate these to phases of technology development. This list can form a framework for future standards battle research.

From the practical perspective, the annex may help parties involved in standard battles to position themselves in the technology development phase, better predict the outcome of the battle, and enhance the possibility to influence that outcome. More specifically, our paper will help adopters of enterprise reference architectures to make better-informed choices. Suppliers of reference architectures can use the findings to stimulate market adoption of their model.

Typy nazwisk i przezwisk odimiennych w ziemi piotrkowskiej
Authors: Bąk Piotr
Published: November 2023

Out of 7500 names and nicknames gathered in Sławomir Gala’s work on the District of Piotrków only the surnames derived from names, which serve as the most important basis for the formation of personal surnames, have been selected. This was in order to describe the word-formative tendencies in the region’s antroponymy. It has been pointed out in the conclusion which types of surnames derived from names prevail on the territory under research, and which appear seldom, as exceptions, and in a marginal way.
It turned out that such surnames as Janowski, Balcerek, Michalak, Adamczyk, and Zygmunt (the type without an affix) prevai in the District of Piotrków. They amount to between 115 and 120 examples.
The District of Piotrków is situated in central Poland, on the border of the country’s three main regions: Małopolska, Mazovia, Wielkopolska. As such, it could serve as a point of reference for similar research in other regions of Poland.
„Czy to faktycznie jakiś tam ma sens?”. Współczesne doświadczenia (nie)religijne młodego pokolenia
Authors: Kaźmierska Kaja
Published: November 2023

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki przeprowadzanych w ostatnich latach badań sondażowych nad religijnością Polaków w obrębie Kościoła katolickiego, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem ludzi młodych, gdyż obecnie ta grupa społeczna ogniskuje uwagę zarówno dyskursów medialnych, naukowych, jak i wewnątrz Kościoła, ze względu na bardzo zauważalny proces porzucania deklaracji wiary oraz praktyk religijnych. Dane te zostały następnie umieszczone w kontekście współczesnych zmian społeczno-kulturowych, których cechami są indywidualizacja życia, odejście od kolektywnych identyfikacji oraz dynamiczny proces sekularyzacji. Zarysowany za pomocą danych ilościowych obraz uzupełniony został przykładami narracji autobiograficznych młodych osób odnoszących się do kwestii współczesnego przeżywania własnej wiary, a zwłaszcza duchowości. Końcowa część artykułu zawiera komentarz dotyczący źródeł aktualnych zmian religijności oraz zarysowuje możliwe scenariusze ich rozwoju.
Learning Together: Social Work Students and Service Users Reflect Critically on Their Diverse Life Experiences
Authors: Böhler Doris
Published: November 2023

In this chapter, the author introduces the concept of a project week where social work students study together with a diverse group of unemployed social work clients. This involves a learning approach as a formative research process, focusing on establishing and maintaining relationships and highlights communalities. The subject matter references a public forum organized by, “aqua muehle Vorarlberg”, during which students and service users present the results of their collective project week. The issues researched focus on unemployment, education, qualification, illnesses, discrimination and inclusion. A document analysis of learning journals together with records of feedback sessions and presentations of outcomes form the basis of this contribution. A series of new possibilities arise when groups form equally, leaving their “normalities” of familiar learning environments behind. The experiences are evaluated positively by the participants despite being described as exhausting, emotional and difficult. Role ambiguity contributes to a valuable experience of exchange.
Fake news como produção textual disruptiva
Authors: Bentes Anna Christina , Souza-Santos José Elderson de
Published: November 2023

Neste artigo, pretendemos apresentar uma abordagem textual-discursiva das fake news, postulando que elas são práticas comunicativas estruturadas por meio de uma produção textual em larga escala, produção essa concebida no/ e incorporada tanto ao campo jornalístico quanto ao campo político. Ao mesmo tempo em que exploram as características textuais-discursivas da produção simbólica desses campos, as fake news contribuem para a sua deterioração, ao construírem a suspeição sobre a legitimidade das instituições em geral, dos agentes do Estado e, no caso do Brasil, também sobre os procedimentos eleitorais e sanitários. Ao mesmo tempo em que buscam a deterioração especialmente dos campos jornalístico e político, os atores sociais responsáveis por essa produção textual massiva também buscam estabelecer a inserção e a legitimação de novos atores e de outras trajetórias nesses campos, especialmente por meio da desintermediação, instaurando um ambiente de disputa de “vida ou morte” no espaço social, disputa esta que parece estar em seu ápice no Brasil. Nesse sentido, a produção textual massiva constitui-se como um importante instrumento tanto para manter esse ambiente de disputa quanto também para dar continuidade aos processos de inserção e de legitimação/ deslegitimação dos diversos atores nos/dos diversos campos sociais.
Australian Government's Public Diplomacy through the MAMPU Program in Indonesia (2016-2020)

Published: November 2023

This paper discusses the Australian government's public diplomacy effort through the MAMPU program phase II (2016 - 2020) which focuses on gender equality and women’s empowerment issues in Indonesia. The author used the concept of public diplomacy in this paper to analyse what the Australian government has done to achieve its interest through the MAMPU program. The paper uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, by using secondary and primary data which are program MAMPU's social media, website, various documents, entries from the internet, and an interview with MAMPU Program Manager from BaKTI Foundation. This paper finds that efforts conducted by the Australian government in the MAMPU program are compatible with four of the five relational initiatives characteristics in public diplomacy. Furthermore, because of its public diplomacy through the MAMPU program, the Australian government gained positive images as a country that supports the women empowerment issue in Indonesia. In addition, the Australian government could also strengthen its relationship with the Indonesian government.
