At school, students have studied the characteristics of waves and the relationship between period, frequency, wavelength, and the speed of propagation of transverse waves. However, students often experience misconceptions based on intuitive thinking and the phenomena they encountered. Thus, the research aims to describe the instrument validation of developing a multitier open-ended transverse wave instrument (MOTWI), which is useful in deeply assessing the misconceptions of high school students. The 4D (defining, designing, developing, and disseminating) model has been utilized as the method for developing the instrument. The participants were 67 high school students aged between 16 and 18 years (21 males namely “Mas” and 46 females namely “Mba”). The validity and reliability of MOTWI were analyzed using Rasch Model with MINISTEP 4.7.0.0 software. MOTWI validity from item dimensionality was valid. Cronbach Alpha (α) value was 0.75 (good category), and item reliability was a very good category. The construct validation results of MOTWI were valid and reliable for seven items. The students’ conceptions and misconceptions were analyzed with Wright maps. The conceptions of students were categorized as sound understanding (SU), partial understanding positive (PUP), partial understanding negative (PUN), no understanding (NU), misconception (MC), and no oding (NC). The misconceptions were mostly found in the characteristics and the factors that affect the speed of propagation of transverse waves. In conclusion, developing MOTWI can be used to assess and identify conceptions and misconceptions of students.

Published: April 2024

Various problems that cause low student learning outcomes are thought to be due to the lack of teacher innovation when teaching in the classroom, the selection of learning models or strategies that do not facilitate students’ awareness and interest in learning, as well as other influencing problems. One of the models that can help teachers train students to plan lessons, monitor the learning process, and evaluate learning outcomes is the Simas Eric learning model with syntax skimming, mind mapping, questioning, exploring, writing, and communicating. This study aimed to determine the effect of the SIMAS ERIC learning model on cognitive learning outcomes of Biology students at SMAN 24 Bandung. This is a quasi-experimental research with a non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group design. The participants in this study were class X MIPA 1 and X MIPA 3 students at SMAN 24 Bandung. Data were collected through the results of observations of students’ cognitive learning outcomes. Data analysis was done using the ANOVA technique, which shows the learning outcomes of the SIMAS ERIC model on protist material, affecting the cognitive learning outcomes of Biology students at SMAN 24 Bandung with an average cognitive learning outcome of experimental class students of 84.50%.

Various land transportations mostly use fossil fuels which produce greenhouse gas emissions. This is a challenge of how to teach the content to elementary school students with a socio-scientific issue approach to the theme of the water quality index. The method used was a pre-experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design that involved 25 students aged 11–13 at one of the private schools in Bandung. The instrument used was questions of reasoning skills that asked students argumentation. Students’ reasoning skills are analyzed and classified based on the quality of their answers. The results showed that thematic teaching strategies with socio-scientific issues were able to improve the quality of students’ reasoning skills. Students’ answers were not only dominated by claims but also provided with data and evidence even though they were not found in large numbers. In the opinion of students, the packaging of thematic teaching through scientific issues on the theme of water quality index was able to attract their attention. This indicates that increasing reasoning skills can be improved by infusing socio-scientific issues into teaching themes.

Authors: Mubarokah Nadia , Anggraini Melvika , Riandi Riandi , Suwarma Irma R.
Published: April 2024

In the classroom, the discussion method has objectives to train the students with several skills, such as assertiveness when arguing with opposing ideas, the ability to brainstorm, groupthink, and improved communication with their peers. However, implementing the discussion method requires more preparation to run well. Improper organization of class discussion leads to no clear point or lesson learned that is explicitly stated after class discussion. Students’ participation becomes difficult to monitor whether all students contribute during the class discussion. They only talk when being pointed out by the teacher, and they will not speak if they do not have something to say. Science teachers’ experiences in conducting discussion methods were gathered before the study. Using the results from the preliminary survey, a conceptual framework of the discussion method by adapting Model United Nations (MUN), thus the so-called D-MUN METHOD, in learning about environmental pollution was developed. By adapting the structure of the discussion used in MUN to the classroom while learning science topics, the discussion in class becomes more engaging and increases students’ active participation and clarity of key concepts. The issues that become the topic of discussion should be relevant to the science content and include ill-structured problems. Therefore, the D-MUN METHOD will encourage students to present their solutions, which depends on their point of view (assigned as a specific country/region representative), and, in the end, come together to produce the best resolution.

Antik Dönem İskenderiye Okulunun Kurumsal Bileşenleri
Authors: Aytepe Nesim
Published: April 2024

M.Ö. 332’de Büyük İskender tarafından alınan İskenderiye, zamanla kültür, bilim, ticaret ve eğitim alanlarında önemli bir merkez haline gelmiştir. Şehrin bu kültürel ve akademik gelişiminde, İskenderiye’ye özgü kurumların kurulması kritik bir rol oynamıştır. Bu kurumlar arasında öne çıkan İskenderiye Okulu, şehrin bilimsel ve kültürel dinamizminin bir simgesi olmuştur. Bu çalışma, antik dönemin en önemli eğitim ve bilgi merkezlerinden biri olan İskenderiye Okulunun kurumsal yapısını ve bu yapının temelini oluşturan üç ana bileşen -müze, kütüphane ve Serapeum- üzerinde durmaktadır. İskenderiye Okulu, bilgi, kültür ve dini inançların bir arada gelişip etkileşime girdiği bir platform olarak antik dünyada müstesna bir konuma sahip olmuştur. Bu üçlü yapının terkibinden oluşan İskenderiye Okulu, İskenderiye’nin antik dünyada bilim, kültür ve dini inançların merkezi olarak nasıl bir statü kazandığını göstermektedir. Antik çağdaki entelektüel yaşamın çeşitliliği ve zenginliğini yansıtan bu üçlü yapının, modern bilim ve kültürel çalışmalar için de bir temel oluşturduğu düşünülmektedir. Okulun kurumsal bileşenlerini bilmek, İskenderiye şehrinde varlığını sürdüren Yahudi, Hıristiyan, Gnostik, Neo-Platoncu gibi inanç ve felsefi toplulukların okullaşma süreçleri hakkında bilgi sahibi olmamıza imkân tanımaktadır. Araştırmamız, tarihin bir döneminde ortaya çıkan, gelişim gösterdikten sonra etkisini kaybeden bir kurum ve bu kurumun bileşenlerinin analizine yöneliktir. Bu durum, araştırmanın doğası gereği betimleyici (desktriptif) bir yaklaşımın benimsenmesini zorunlu kılar.

Published: April 2024

Com base nos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Sociolinguística Variacionista (Labov, 2008 [1972]; Weinreich; Labov; Herzog, 2006 [1968]), é descrito, neste artigo, o processo de monotongação dos ditongos orais decrescentes /aj/, /ej/ e /ow/ no falar manauara. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de diferentes instrumentos de coleta de dados para a captação de diferentes registros de fala: entrevista sociolinguística, aplicação de questionário fonético-fonológico e leitura de textos. Para a composição da amostra, foram entrevistados 16 informantes da zona urbana de Manaus. Os resultados gerais mostraram que para /aj/, a monotongação é bem reduzida na fala manauara; para /ej/, a redução do ditongo é mais abrangente, mas está em variação equilibrada com a manutenção do ditongo; já para /ow/, a monotongação ocorre de forma mais geral, atingindo a maior frequência de uso da variante reduzida dentre os ditongos analisados.

Published: April 2024

Este trabalho tem como objetivo, sob a ótica da Sociolinguística Variacionista (Labov, 2008 [1972], investigar os processos fonético-fonológicos da palatalização progressiva das oclusivas alveolares com a semivogal [j] em contexto anterior, como em palavras do tipo mui[t?]o e doi[d?]o, produzidos no Português Brasileiro (PB) falado em Santana do Ipanema, localizada no sertão alagoano, relacionando os dados linguísticos coletados com as variáveis externas (faixa etária, sexo e estilo) e internas (tonicidade, tamanho da palavra, sonoridade e fronteira lexical), a fim de identificar possíveis condicionantes de uso das variantes. As análises estatísticas foram feitas com o auxílio do programa Goldvarb X. Os resultados obtidos apontam para o uso mais frequente da regra de palatalização pelos informantes mais velhos, indicando que este fenômeno pode estar em processo de mudança em direção à produção oclusiva, uma vez que a população mais jovem não faz uso da variante palatalizada com frequência.

O artigo analisa denominações para três questões relacionadas à morte, QSL 479 (sepultura/cova), QSL 480 (túmulo/carneira) e QSL 499 (fantasma/visagem). Propõe-se, também, recartografação dos dados, permitindo observação da distribuição dos itens lexicais e mapeamento de territorialidades na formação das áreas lexicais. Identificou-se a existência de duas subáreas no Paraná, uma mais ao norte, região chamada Paraná Moderno, de ocupação recente; e outra ao centro-sul, denominada Paraná Antigo, ocupada por tropeiros no período colonial. Além disso, verificou-se a atuação de duas forças linguísticas divergentes, uma partindo de São Paulo em direção ao Paraná, recobrindo grande parte do estado, denominada falar paulista; e outra na porção meridional do Sul do Brasil, intitulada falar sulista, que influencia Rio Grande do Sul, porções do oeste catarinense e sudoeste paranaense, seguindo o caminho das rotas migratórias gaúchas recentes.
O funcionamento semântico-enunciativo da expressão língua materna em dissertações de mestrado em educação defendidas entre 2020 e 2021 na Universidade Lueji A´Nkonde, Angola
Authors: Mesquita André Campos , Barzotto Valdir Heitor
Published: April 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar os sentidos mobilizados pelos estudantes de mestrado em educação da Universidade Lueji A´Nkonde, em Angola, quando empregam a expressão "língua(s) materna(s)" em suas dissertações. A pesquisa se baseia nas proposições de Pêcheux (1997, 2010), que concebe a língua como estrutura e acontecimento. Observamos que os alunos estão inseridos em uma formação ideológica, na qual se questiona a possibilidade de oficializar as línguas mais faladas em cada região. Suas afirmações recuperam a memória discursiva sobre essa dificuldade, validando o argumento de que é difícil definir qual língua materna pode ser oficializada. Nossa pesquisa busca ainda compreender as formações ideológicas presentes no discurso dos pesquisadores brasileiros ao empregar a mesma expressão. Interessa-nos particularmente a relação do angolano com o conceito de língua materna, por sua relevância para compreender a nomeação da língua portuguesa no Brasil.

The problem of microdoles and insignificant shares in residential premises has long complicated their civil turnover and the realization by the owner of the rights of ownership and use: not always the presence of a share in a residential premises guarantees the ability to use a share and live in a room. This problem has been in the field of view of the legislator for a long time and here is a proposed solution to it. From September 1, 2022, amendments to Article 30 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation come into effect, which prohibit allocating a share if it accounts for less than 6 square meters of total area. The article suggests discussing the legal nature of microdoles and how effective the changes will be.

“Core–core” petrophysical relationships generation for reservoir modeling
Authors: Korovin Mikhail O. , Aleeva Anna O.
Published: April 2024

Relevance. The need in a detailed analysis of distribution of physical properties of the formation in space. Currently, the parameters connecting the results of responses of geophysical fields and petrophysical studies of core are averaged. On the one hand, this is due to the small number of wells with cores in the fields, and on the other hand, to simplify and speed up calculations in the presence of a large number of wells with geophysical surveys of wells. However, this approach does not allow us to identify the largest number of a particular layer or section characteristics. This, in its turn, may lead to inaccuracies in calculating filtration and capacitance properties. When averaging parameters, the features of formation of the deposit in parts of the field with core sampling are lost. And this is a very big opportunity to more accurately form facies models of deposits. Aims. To generate a map of skeletal density distribution based on core data for the supra-coal strata of a terrigenous oil reservoir; analyze the resulting distribution map, identify areas with increased and decreased density values; assess the degree of change in the porosity coefficient when compared with density values; identify areas of high and low density and trends. Object. Supra-coal strata of terrigenous sediments of one of the layers of an oil field in the Tomsk region. Methods. Analysis of the petrophysical database leads to formation of an idea of the reservoir. Laboratory core studies are the source of the most reliable information about the filtration and reservoir properties of the formation. The analysis technique involves the well-by-well construction of dependencies of petrophysical parameters and determination of the value of the constant density of the skeleton. Additionally, a general relationship is built for all wells to compare values and identify maximum and minimum parameters boundaries, skeletal density distribution map and resulting zones with low- and high-density values analysis. Borehole differentiation of values leads to increased detail of the distribution of the studied parameter and identification of zones with abnormally high and low values for more detailed study and the formation of a conceptual geological model.
Americium co-precipitation with calcium oxalate
Authors: Sofronov Vladimir L. , Selyavskiy Vadim Yu.
Published: April 2024

Relevance. The fact that the literature does not contain any data not only on crystallization coefficients, but also on the nature of the co-precipitation of americium (III) with calcium oxalate. The co-precipitation reaction of americium with calcium oxalate is used to concentrate trace amounts of americium due to calcium oxalate low solubility and adsorption capacity. In this relation, the study of co-precipitation of trace amounts of americium with calcium oxalate, as well as the study of the isolation of trace amounts of americium using a calcium carrier and its subsequent separation from the carrier, is of unconditional interest. Aim. Investigation of americium co-precipitation with the solid sorbent – calcium oxalate, description of the equilibrium of the sorption isotherm using Langmuir and Freundlich models. Methods. When studying the establishment of co-precipitation of americium with a carrier – calcium oxalate, the qualification of the chemical reagents used met the requirements of the grade not lower than r.g. The isotope americium-241 was used in the work, the composition of the solid phase of the carrier – calcium oxalate – corresponded to the formula CaC2O4·H2O. The concentration of americium (III) cations in the initial solution and in the filtrate was determined by gamma-spectrometric method using the SCS-07P spectrometric complex, the amount of calcium – by complexometric titration with murexide as an indicator, and the concentration of oxalate ion – by permanganatometric method. Results. It was found that the co-precipitation of americium (III) nitrate solutions with calcium oxalate is largely due to adsorption of the micro-component – americium (III) – on the surface of the existing or newly formed precipitate of the macro-component calcium oxalate. It is determined that the Langmuir equation model adequately describes sorption, since the processing of experimental data by the least squares method showed that in coordinates C/A=f(C) the sorption isotherm is described by the equation of a straight line with a high correlation coefficient of more than 0.95.
Teaching literature for the 21st century: ‘Mirrors and Windows’ prism to critical cultural literacy
Authors: Bouali Amina
Published: April 2024

Over the last three decades, in an atmosphere that is quintessentially super-diversified and hyper-active, teaching culture is being celebrated as the emblem of a state-of-the-art branch of teaching and research. Therefore, social activists are today expediting an extraordinary era of multiculturalism, in which the bottom line is to foster cultural literacy and critical literacy as a capstone for social democracy and academic change. Given its ascendency in literature teaching, the current study endeavors to probe into the effectiveness of using literature for promoting critical cultural literacy by adopting a ‘windows and mirrors’ teaching framework. To fulfill this target, research has invested in pre/post-tests as instruments for data collection and analysis, and opted for 30 participants among second-year English as a Foreign Language learners as target randomized sampling. The study findings have revealed that ‘windows and mirrors’ readings of rhetoric have helped to stimulate learners’ empathy, tolerance, and inclusion in others’ cultures, expanded the breadth of their cultural content knowledge, and sharpened advanced critical level literacy.
Keywords: Cultural literacy, empathy, inclusion, tolerance, ‘windows and mirrors’ framework.

Resultados: O escore da AF foi inversamente associada ao VO2máx. inverso para o sexo masculino e feminino (respectivamente, r = -0,47; p = 0,0001 e r = -0,41; p = 0,0223) e ao RCV agrupado para o sexo masculino (r = -0,38; p = 0,0026) nas análises brutas, com ajuste pela AF, idade e tempo sentado, a correlação entre AF e VO2máx. inverso manteve-se para o sexo masculino e feminino (respectivamente, r = -0,43; p= 0,0005 e r = -0,37; p = 0,0477) e com RCV agrupado apenas para o sexo masculino (r = -0,36 p = 0,0055). Encontrou-se associação positiva entre o tempo sentado e o VO2máx. inverso no sexo masculino (r = 0,31; p = 0,0136). Conclusão: Esses achados podem contribuir para proposição de intervenções/ações de políticas públicas focadas no aumento da AF e diminuição do tempo em CS, considerando-se potencial contribuição para a saúde cardiovascular em adolescentes.
MORAL EDUCATIONAL THINKING MUḤAMMAD ‘ALĪ AL-ṢĀBŪNĪ IN THE TAFSĪR ṢAFWATU AL-TAFĀSĪR
Authors: Fithria Maulida
Published: April 2024

The reality of life in today’s dynamics, we often see delinquency committed by children and adolescents who should reflect good character in themselves, but in their implementation have a bad character in their lives both in the school, community, and family environments. This article discusses the thought of Muḥammad ‘Alī al-Ṣābūnī’s moral education in Tafsīr Ṣafwatu al-Tafāsir which examines various aspects of Qur’anic scholarship. This research uses a library research method, with a descriptive qualitative analysis approach. The result of this research is Muḥammad ‘Alī al- Ṣābūnī actively writing and devoting his knowledge to education, one of his famous works is the book of Tafsīr Ṣafwatu al-Tafāsīr, this book is compiled from the core explanations of great commentaries that are detailed, concise, structured until it becomes clear and straightforward. Moral education is a guide to moral principles and special temperaments, habits that must be owned and made a habit by children from childhood to adulthood. The purpose of moral education is to form humans as supreme and perfect beings who have good behavior and deeds toward fellow humans, fellow creatures, and their Gods to achieve happiness both in this world and in the hereafter. The moral education studied through Tafsīr Ṣafwatu al-Tafāsir includes the nature of honesty, qana‘ah, and obedience. If these qualities can be implemented properly, then the evil that is rife will disappear, a clean heart will always be decorated with good deeds, and vice versa, a dirty heart will always be decorated with bad deeds.

Double Level Non-Contiguous Traumatic Lumbar Disc Herniation Presenting With Cauda Equina Syndrome
Authors: Naik Ashish , Ramachandran Karthik , Prasad Shetty Ajoy , Kanna Rishi Mugesh , Shanmuganathan Rajasekaran
Published: April 2024

Case:

A 52-year-old man presented with cauda equina syndrome after a motorcycle accident. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed traumatic disc herniation, at L2-L3 and L5-S1 levels without bony injury. He was managed successfully by wide laminectomy and microdiscectomy at both levels with complete neurological recovery at 2-month follow-up.

Conclusion:

With a reported incidence of 0.4%, traumatic disc herniation in the lumbar region is an uncommon occurrence that may resemble a spinal epidural hematoma in acute trauma. Although MRI may not reliably differentiate spinal epidural hematoma from disc herniation, urgent surgical intervention may be required in profound neurological deficits.
Anterior Proximal Tibial Screw Hemiepiphysiodesis Decreases Posterior Tibial Slope in Knee Flexion Contracture
Authors: Müller Fabio , Huber Hanspeter
Published: April 2024

Case:

A 13-year-old adolescent boy with hemiplegic cerebral palsy suffering from fixed knee flexion deformity of 10° despite extensive conservative treatment. Owing to a posterior tibial slope (PTS) of 16°, anterior hemiepiphysiodesis was applied to the proximal tibia. The 2 screws were removed after 9 months. Final follow-up at 16 months showed complete knee extension and a PTS of 4°.

Conclusion:

The presented technique is a good alternative in knee flexion deformity with an increased PTS and has surprisingly not been described in the literature. This might be worth considering for other pathologies such as pediatric anterior cruciate ligament injury with an increased PTS.

Our experimental protocol details the human subject evaluation of a novel, simulation-based approach for optimizing exoskeleton control strategies. Utilizing multi-layer perceptron neural networks, this approach achieves: modeling human kinematics, optimizing muscle coordination, and automating exoskeleton assistance. This method capitalizes on the strengths of data-driven machine learning to refine control strategies, significantly reducing metabolic costs across various activities including walking, running, and stair climbing. This experiment protocol aims to collect metabolic rate and kinematic data during 3 activities (walking, running, stair climbing) in 3 conditions (No Exo, Assist On, Assist Off) to demonstrate the controller’s ability to generate smooth and synergistic assistance to different locomotion activities. The entire protocol can be completed in approximately 30 minutes for each activity of each subject (n=8).
Labor Markets Between the Two World Wars: Estimates for Interwar Italy, 1921-1939
Authors: Vojnovic Jovan , Magnini Gino
Published: April 2024

We exploit the interwar population censuses of 1921, 1931 and 1936 to develop a new dataset on Italy’s labor markets comprehensive of population aggregates, labor force, inactivity and unemployment figures. We then use the same sources to propose a break-down of all labor market stocks by sex in order to obtain a series for male and female unemployment rates in interwar Italy. We compare our estimates with the existing evi-dence, highlighting that our figures could be considered as an upper-bound unemploy-ment rate that includes unemployed and non-full-time workers. We find that changes in the unemployment rate were mostly driven by employment rates in the 1920s and by a contracting labor force in the 1930s. We then present our estimated labor market evi-dence paired with existing evidence on wage levels to propose the possible mechanisms behind high interwar unemployment rates. The paper shows that changes in inactivity levels during the 1930s were a result of wage rigidities, creating a feedback loop between inactivity and wage rates.
Analyzing Climate Change Effects on Soil temperature in the North of Africa
Authors: Mohamed Regagba , Maamar Meghraoui
Published: April 2024

Understanding the intricate interplay between the Soil temperature and climate change holds paramount importance, serving as a pivotal gateway to unravel the ramifications of shifting climatic patterns on soil temprature dynamics and hydrological processes. This study embarks on a comprehensive exploration aimed at scrutinizing soil temprature fluctuations within the El Chouly watershed situated in northwestern Algeria, spanning a time frame of five years. Leveraging the trove of Sentinal satellite imagery available for each year throughout the study duration, our inquiry revolves around the discernment of soil temprature variations vis-à-vis alterations in key climatic parameters such as precipitation and temperature.
Employing the Soil temprature Index (ST) as our analytical cornerstone, we meticulously dissect satellite imagery captured on five distinct dates. Our findings unveil a mosaic of soil temprature dynamics across the temporal spectrum. For instance, on January 2, 2020, an expansive swath of land spanning 404,8hectares exhibited significantly elevated soil temprature levels (ST ranging from 0.8 to 1), indicative of abundant moisture content. Conversely, a mere 21,(hectares on December 30, 2017, manifested analogous high ST values, accentuating the ephemeral nature of such conditions.
The nadir of soil temprature , denoted by ST values hovering between 0 and 0.2, reached its zenith on December 30, 2017, enshrouding an extensive terrain spanning 1809.37 hectares. This stark revelation underscores the pervasive aridity pervading a substantial expanse of the watershed during this epoch.
Upon juxtaposing these empirical observations with the meticulously analyzed climatic data spanning the stipulated period, a cogent narrative emerges, underscoring the intricate dance between climatic vicissitudes and soil temprature dynamics.
