The application of the Fraction Skill Score (FSS) to the radar nowcasting of precipitation fields is considered. The main feature of the method is that the quality is estimated not at the points (or cells) of the fields, but in their neighborhoods. Verification of field forecasts acquires a probabilistic character, due to which the well-known “double penalty” danger is eliminated when advancing from coarse computational grids to finer ones. Moreover, the method makes it possible to distinguish such range of scales within which the tested model generates forecasts that are acceptable or useful for both weather forecasters and third-party consumers of forecast products. The features and advantages of the FSS are demonstrated using the data of radar precipitation nowcasting in the warm and cold seasons of 2017–2018. An information archive of observation and forecast fields in the coverage areas of nine DMRL-C radars on the territory of the Central and Northwestern federal districts was used. Due to the large time spent to calculate the skill score, the possibility of obtaining summary estimates based on random samples was tested. Based on the output tabular and graphical verification products, meaningful general and partial conclusions are formulated that are stratified by seasons, radars, thresholds for exceeding the precipitation intensity, and the forecast lead time. Keywords: precipitation field nowcasting, radar observations, spatial forecast verification, neighborhood verification method, Fractions Skill Score (FSS)
School-Based Assessment in a Caribbean Public Examination
Authors: Griffith Stafford A.
Published: October 2023

This work explores the historical, conceptual, theoretical and practical dimensions of school-based assessment (SBA) in a public examination. In part 1, Griffith offers the history and context for the exploration of the issues of SBA in a public examination and reviews the history and concept of public examinations and the evolution and mandate of the Caribbean Examinations Council as a public examinations board serving member countries of the region. In part 2, he provides the foundations for a discourse of the concept, theory and practice of SBA in the context of the public examinations of the Caribbean Examinations Council and explores key issues in SBA in a public examination. In part 3, he examines a number of new directions and practices related to SBA in a public examination, for example, the use of an alternative (external) paper to assess the same competencies developed and assessed in the SBA undertaken in schools, the implementation and assessment of group work in SBA, the use of a single project for the SBA of a cluster of subjects, and ways in which the benefits of SBA in a public examination may guide practice at all levels of the education system to improve student learning and assessment.
Selected Writings of Alfred H. Mendes
Authors: Mendes Alfred H.
Published: October 2023

Alfred Hubert Mendes (1897–1991) was a member of the influential Beacon group of artists, writers and intellectuals in Trinidad in the 1930s. In common with other Beacon writers, including C.L.R. James and Ralph de Boissière, he set out to create a Trinidad-centred literature, and his extensive output of poetry, short stories, novels and journalism bears witness to his dedication to this goal. Selected Writings is an anthology of poetry, short fiction and journalism from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s which places Mendes’s literary development in the context of his life. It is accompanied by an introduction, appendices containing early letters to Mendes from C.L.R. James, Claude McKay, and the Canadian writer Hulbert Footner, explanatory notes, and a brief glossary of Trinidadian words and phrases. The sheer vitality of Mendes’s writing and the huge scope of his interests will attract both scholars and general readers keen to understand what life really was like in the early decades of the twentieth century, especially now, as Trinidad celebrates fifty years of independent self-government. Whereas Mendes’s poems and short stories tellingly illustrate the stresses of social life under colonial rule, the journalism contains much thought-provoking discussion of the development of a national identity and political maturity through his intensive examination of Trinidad’s cultural life.

Authors: Hu Lei , Zhang Chenhao , Dai Hailin , Zhang Chunliang , Yang Yuejun , Wang Nan , Zhao Fengli
Published: October 2023

Transdermal patches of rotigotine, a dopamine agonist of the non-ergoline class, are used to treat the signs and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. In this study, we have probed the effect of ginseng oral liquid on the efficacy of the rotigotin patch plus amantadine in treating Parkinson’s disease. Measurements of mental behavior, daily activities, and motor function were used to calculate the total effective rate of the treatment that was elevated in the presence of ginseng oral liquid. While ginseng oral liquid lowered the Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire scores and levels of serum amyloid A and interleukin-12, it augmented apolipoprotein A1. No difference was seen in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups. To sum up, rotigotin patches in association with amantadine and ginseng oral liquid are effective in treating Parkinson’s disease, which can effectively promote the quality of life of patients, decrease clinical symptoms, and reduce inflammatory reactions.
¿Separación de la doctrina legal o aceptación y reconocimiento tácito de la existencia de jurisprudencia constitucional notoriamente inconvencional?
Authors: Cárdenas Estuardo
Published: October 2023

A través de este trabajo se realiza un comentario jurisprudencial con perspectiva crítica, enfocado directamente a la jurisprudencia emanada de la Corte de Constitucionalidad, por medio de la cual decide separarse de doctrina legal previamente sentada sobre un tema en particular. Y, para ello, se parte de la idea central de que, en muchos de esos casos en los que tal <> se ejerce, más allá de la simple <> [o innovación], en realidad, por la naturaleza del asunto subyacente y los derechos y pretensiones implicados en el mismo, lo que se tiende a hacer –pero sin decirlo expresamente– es aceptar y reconocer –tácitamente– la existencia de una eventual inconvencionalidad [o anticonvencionalidad] en la doctrina preexistente. Procediendo, para ello, a examinar un fallo reciente de ésta en el que, dados los aspectos analizados en el mismo, se abordó un caso de derechos humanos [fundamentales]; y, al haberse asumido la separación de la doctrina legal anterior, a la vez también se admitió –sin decirse– la inconvencionalidad de su jurisprudencia.

Quality Management in GIS
Authors: Ahmed Zakaria Yehia
Published: October 2023

This paper centers on the crucial elements of quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) in the domain of geographic information systems (GIS). A dependable and resilient GIS database is at the core of any spatial system, and it is of utmost significance across a wide range of fields, including Hajj, Umrah, tourism, real estate, and natural resource management. Given the inherent intricacy of spatial databases and their requirement for specialized technical upkeep, applications that depend on them also necessitate specialized technical expertise. To address inconsistencies within the database, best practices for database maintenance are implemented. This paper presents a systematic approach to the updating of comprehensive spatial databases and provides an overview of the quality procedures that are essential to this process. It also discusses the various safeguard mechanisms that are employed to enhance data consistency, completeness, integrity, and other qualitative aspects. The primary objective is to establish a customer-focused quality standard for spatial databases. Considering the broad definition of quality as "the extent to which project deliverables meet requirements," GIS projects face the challenge of precisely defining specifications and relevant quality standards that are tailored to specific project types and deliverables. The increasing demand for digital maps and GIS applications in Egypt emphasizes the urgent need for quality control and quality assurance procedures. This paper describes the implementation of these procedures in the creation of ten geological maps of Egypt at a scale of 1:500,000. This collaborative effort involves Cairo University and the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation in Egypt. Additionally, this project provides an internship opportunity for students in the College of Engineering, Civil Department, enabling them to gain practical experience in the field.
C-SMB 2.0: Integrating over 25 years of motor sequencing research with the Discrete Sequence Production task
Authors: Verwey Willem B.
Published: October 2023

An exhaustive review is reported of over 25 years of research with the Discrete Sequence Production (DSP) task as reported in well over 100 articles. In line with the increasing call for theory development, this culminates into proposing the second version of the Cognitive framework of Sequential Motor Behavior (C-SMB 2.0), which brings together known models from cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and motor learning. This processing framework accounts for the many different behavioral results obtained with the DSP task and unveils important properties of the cognitive system. C-SMB 2.0 assumes that a versatile central processor (CP) develops multimodal, central-symbolic representations of short motor segments by repeatedly storing the elements of these segments in short-term memory (STM). Independently, the repeated processing by modality-specific perceptual and motor processors (PPs and MPs) and by the CP when executing sequences gradually associates successively used representations at each processing level. The high dependency of these representations on active context information allows for the rapid serial activation of the sequence elements as well as for the executive control of tasks as a whole. Speculations are eventually offered as to how the various cognitive processes could plausibly find their neural underpinnings within the intricate networks of the brain.
Making Cauchy’s Cours d’analyse “elementary”: Dirichlet’s Lectures on Series
Authors: Fischer Hans
Published: October 2023

In the period between ca. 1820 and 1860, Cauchy’s theories on real analysis met with a mixed reception in Germany. On the whole, however, they significantly influenced the development toward modern analysis. In this paper contributions of Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet, who fostered this process of transition through his teaching, are investigated, mainly with regard to his adaption of a part of Cauchy’s Cours d’analyse in a lecture course on series from winter semester 1840/41. In order to attain a better understanding for his specific didactic approach, Dirichlet’s course is compared with Schlömilch’s Handbuch der algebraischen Analysis (1845).
From 'stelkunst' to 'which algebra?' Changes in Dutch school algebra
Authors: Krüger Jenneke
Published: October 2023

In the Netherlands, from 1863 on, schools for secondary education in which mathematics, sciences and other subjects were taught to all pupils, were established in several towns. At that time algebra already was an art which was relatively wide-spread among Dutch mathematical practitioners and teachers of mathematics. Textbooks in Dutch, but also in English, French and German and journals were available to provide knowledge about algebraic techniques, simple exercises and problems. Thus when in 1870 a national mathematics curriculum was formulated, ideas about the elementary algebra to be taught in lower secondary school were reasonably well established. However, what algebra topics should be taught in higher secondary was less clear. During the next 150 years there were about seven relatively influential changes in the mathematics curriculum. In this paper the reasons for and effects on the algebra programme of the first three of these changes will be discussed.
History of school geometry in the early years: Brazil, 19th and 20th century
Authors: Leme da Silva Maria Célia
Published: October 2023

This study aims to identify the interactions established between Brazil and foreign countries in the construction process of school geometry in the early years in the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century. To do so, we examined several sources: pedagogical programs, textbooks and pedagogical journals that circulated in Brazil in that period, as well as reports produced by Brazilian teachers who visited European countries on pedagogical missions at the end of the 19th century. The investigation was based on the theoretical postulate of the circulation of pedagogical knowledge, which was promoted by cultural agents, that is, educators, teachers, travelers, writers, exhibitors, etc. We aimed to analyze the appropriation processes regarding the knowledge received in Brazil by identifying its differences in comparison with the knowledge produced abroad (Burke, 2016). Three examples of Brazilian appropriation of foreign content were analyzed in the incorporation of foreign proposals related to geometry teaching for the first years of school in Brazil. The three categories – drawing, handwork and tachymetry – selected for the appropriation analysis proved to be fundamental to understand a primary geometry teaching proposal. It is safe to say that school geometry in Brazil was fostered, collated and developed in an intimate connection with other disciplines or knowledge, or teaching methods, a result of close dialogue with several authors in a constant process of exchange, interchange, readings and interpretations of national and international experience, which reiterates the importance of pedagogical knowledge circulation (Fontaine, 2022).
Towards a sociological explanation of the success of the Back to Basics movement in Sweden, 1970–1980
Authors: Prytz Johan , Ahl Linda Marie , Jankvist Uffe Thomas
Published: October 2023

In this paper we seek to understand how and why the Back to Basic movement could have success in Sweden in the 1970s. The case is a state sponsored research and development project (PUMP) whose results had impact on popular textbooks. The study concerns the development process leading up to the implementation, but also the implementation phase. The analysis has a sociological perspective and involves Bourdieu’s concept of capital. Our material is interviews with key people involved in the PUMP-project. The main finding is that social capital, rather than academic and financial capital, appears to have been important in the development process. We also discuss how this finding can be used in future research.
Arithmetic by manipulatives: a view through historical examples
Authors: Rahn Anne , Spies Susanne
Published: October 2023

The use of manipulatives has become fundamental to the teaching of mathematics in primary schools. The materials used in mathematics education are surprisingly constant, even if the didactic guiding ideas have changed throughout history. The analysis of some still influential examples from the history of mathematics education since the 18th century on the basis of current didactic categories should serve to look at them from a new perspective and provide a framework for comparison.
Traces of the Impact of the Works of the Wittenbergian Mathematician Johann Friedrich Weidler on Textbooks and Academic Teaching of the 18th Century
Authors: Reimers Toni
Published: October 2023

In the 18th century the term Mathematische Anfangsgründe appeared in the titles of introductory textbooks that are mainly designed to support the academic teaching of mathematics. They include allmost all the disciplines associated with contemporary mathematics. By historians, especially Abraham Gotthelf Kästner's and Christian Wolff's Anfangsgründe have been studied in the context of traditions of textbooks written in German. The aim of this article is to classify Johann Friedrich Weidler as one of the first generation of Anfangsgründe-authors and to get a first exemplary synopsis about his influence and impact in academic publishing and teaching.
The Royaumont Seminar 1959 and Freudenthal‘s Involvement
Authors: Schubring Gert
Published: October 2023

As it is already common lore in the history of mathematics education, Hans Freudenthal had been invited to participate at the Seminar on New Thinking in School Mathematics, held in Royaumont in 1959, organised by the OEEC (later renamed OECD), but had rejected the invitation – and that he regretted later on this refusal as a great error, assuming he might have impeded the worst of what he then thought to be a wrong way for modernisation (de Bock & Vanpaemel 2019, p. 75). La Bastide-van Gemert was already able to shading and differentiating this common lore, by researching in Freudenthal’s Nachlass (La Bastide-van Gemert 2015). The focus of her analysis was to study Freudenthal’s individual acting regarding the invitation. As I had shown in my research upon this Seminar, which in fact launched the modern math movement internationally, the archive of the OECD had no longer documents of the preparatory stages of the Seminar; all that had been simply littered (Schubring 2014). Not only Freudenthal’s correspondence with the OEEC staff, but also a number of documents he received during the preparatory stages of the Seminar enable, however, to reconstruct somewhat the preparations by the OEEC and by a “group of experts”, which should assist them in elaborating the programme. These documents allow not only to understand the concretisation of the conceptions for the Seminar, but also to remark that Freudenthal’s participation in the preparatory changes had instigated effects upon the Seminar conceptions. This contribution analyses these developments and elaborations. As a major surprise, one of the key elements of the lore is shown to be wrong. In a last section, I will report on my searches for information about the three West-German Seminar participants: Hermann Athen, Otto Botsch and Heinz Schöne.
Hebrew authors in the 12th-16th centuries on teaching mathematics
Authors: Segev Stela
Published: October 2023

During the last decade, many works in Hebrew (manuscripts and printed books) from the 12th–16th centuries on scientific and especially mathematical topics have been deciphered. In these works, one can find mainly topics like arithmetic and geometry. Apart from the mathematical content, however, we can sometimes find (especially in each introduction but not only there), more information about other topics. Below are presented examples of the diverse information that can be found in the introductions to mathematical works written in Hebrew during the 12th–16th centuries, with a special focus on information that allows us to learn about the didactic views of the authors of these works. As research in teaching in general and research in mathematics education are relatively new research disciplines, these views are particularly interesting. Here we find evidence of didactic thinking long before the subject of mathematics teaching became a canonical university discipline. Scholars and students studying mathematics education will be interested in discovering that didactic issues in mathematics teaching are as old as mathematics itself. Special attention will be paid to Elijah Mizrahi's Book of the Number (posthumous print in 1533), a unique figure among the authors of mathematical books in Hebrew from the 12th–16th centuries.
The concept of number by Karl Weierstraß and its first publication, viz. within a school program by Ernst Kossak
Authors: Ullrich Peter
Published: October 2023

Karl Weierstraß (1815–1897) presented his concept of real number and its generalizations in his lectures at Berlin university, but did not publish it in printed form. Instead of this, other mathematicians wrote publications on his theory, starting off with Ernst Kossak (1839–1892) in 1872, who was a teacher at the Friedrichswerdersche Gymnasium in Berlin then. This treatise appeared within the yearly program of Kossak’s school. By choosing this way of publication, he addressed rather teachers at other secondary schools or even a generally interested public than mathematicians at universities. In fact, academic circles reacted unfriendly: Hermann Amandus Schwarz (1843–1921) informed Weierstraß about flaws in it. Later on, Weierstraß himself expressed his negative views on it to Gösta Mittag-Leffler (1846–1927). Whereas these criticisms were only written in private letters, Gottlob Frege (1848–1925) directly attacked Kossak in his 1884 book on the foundations of arithmetic. Frege’s criticism, however, directly referred to the ideas and methods of Weierstraß proper, whereas the unfriendly remarks of Weierstraß and, in particular, Schwarz may root in a quarrel on an academic position.
Concepts of mathematical giftedness in German schools: A cultural-historical approach
Authors: Weiss Ysette
Published: October 2023

The concept of mathematical giftedness and, accordingly, its promotion has been dealt with in different ways in Germany over the last 150 years. Institutional support has been shaped by economic conditions as well as by socio-political and cultural-historical factors, and by traditions of different thought collectives. We show that characteristics of the attitudes of the interest groups in mathematics education in the sense of Paul Ernest can also be explained by cultural-historical factors.

Sustainability Entrepreneurship Education in developing countries: A case of selected Universities in the East African Communities
Authors: Kidere Flaura , Mkwizu Kezia Herman
Published: October 2023

Sustainability Entrepreneurship Education (SEE) as a concept has received less attention from scholars in developing countries. However, the increased call for use of a sustainability entrepreneurship approach to enhance sustainable development in various projects is increasingly becoming a necessity. This situation calls for consideration of how entrepreneurship education should be delivered, particularly regarding sustainability. Clearly, this would be crucial for the university education system which plays a key role in shaping philosophical underpinnings. In expanding the scope of the phenomenon of sustainability from an entrepreneurship education perspective, this study was motivated to explore sustainability entrepreneurship education with a focus on Universities in the EAC community. The main objective was to establish the existence of a SEE curriculum in selected universities in the East African Community. The approach used is content analysis through the use of the desktop review and survey methods. The findings of this paper have implications to improve entrepreneurship education programs in developing countries.

La Participación de las Familias en los Centros Educativos: Una Exploración Teórica
Authors: Alonso Sánchez José Alexis , Torres González Nerea
Published: October 2023

La socialización y educación de los niños y niñas son tareas fundamentales tanto para la familia como para la escuela. Estas instituciones tienen la responsabilidad conjunta de garantizar una educación integral. Por lo tanto, es esencial que colaboren entre sí para establecer metas educativas comunes, intercambiar información importante sobre el progreso y las necesidades de los estudiantes, y brindarse apoyo mutuo durante el proceso de educación y formación. Así, la participación familiar en las escuelas no sólo es un derecho sino, también, un deber. Pretendemos determinar la relevancia de la participación de las familias en los centros educativos y conocer buenas prácticas que se estén desarrollando para potenciarla. Desarrollamos como métodos  la revisión bibliográfica de literatura científica y el descriptivo con enfoque no experimental. Los resultados muestran que la participación de las familias es generadora de múltiples beneficios al alumnado, a las familias, al profesorado y a la sociedad en general (Vallespir-Soler y Morey‐López, 2019). Existen múltiples proyectos que la fomentan con resultados positivos, por lo que es responsabilidad de los profesionales educativos, en especial de los equipos directivos, el acometer la mejora de los niveles de participación a partir de las buenas prácticas.
Revisión Bibliográfica sobre la Presencia de Staphylococcus Aureus Meticilinoresistentes en Personal de la Salud
Authors: Robert Gustavo Sánchez Prado , Daysi Eliana Baculima Peña , Ana Paulina Arévalo Jaramillo , Ana Elizabeth Guerrero López , Raquel Estefanía Sánchez Prado
Published: October 2023

Actualmente Staphylococcus aureus meticilino-resistente es uno de los patógenos nosocomiales con mayor impacto en las infecciones intrahospitalarias. Esta resistencia bacteriana es codificada por el gen mecA el cual permite cambios en la estructura bioquímica de la proteína fijadora de betalactámicos (PBP). El objetivo de este trabajo está enfocado en desarrollar una revisión sistemática de la presencia de SARM en personal de salud. La metodología empleada fue una búsqueda bibliográfica dentro de las bases de datos seleccionadas, escogiendo así artículos publicados durante los últimos seis últimos años y que muestren relación con la presencia de SARM en la población antes descrita. Los resultados revelan una positividad para SARM del 7,26 % siendo su aislamiento más frecuente en médicos y enfermeros. Las áreas con mayor prevalencia fueron la de unidad de cuidados intensivos con una prevalencia del 13,9 %. De esta manera se demuestra que el recurso humano que labora en casas de salud se convierte en un grupo de riesgo a colonizarse o infectarse con SARM, constituyéndose así en reservorios activos de este patógeno relacionados directamente con infecciones intrahospitalarias y comunitarias. El empleo de medidas profilácticas durante la jornada laboral son la principal clave para evitar la diseminación de estas bacterias.
Prácticas Pedagógicas para el Fortalecimiento de la Competencia Lectura Crítica
Authors: Chamorro Yeidy Lucía
Published: October 2023

La globalización y la vertiginosa realidad tecnológica del siglo XXI ha traído consigo la necesidad de evaluar, analizar y replantear el currículo educativo, el cual debe propender a la formación de seres humanos críticos, capaces de interactuar en sociedad y buscar su propio progreso desde la colectividad e individualidad. Por consiguiente, la investigación sobre las prácticas pedagógicas se hace pertinente cuando la escuela requiere de cambios y transformaciones para no quedar relegada. Dichas investigaciones son más fructíferas, cuando la misma comunidad educativa, en este caso los docentes, sienten la pertinencia de este proceso evaluativo que, muy seguramente, enriquecerá el quehacer pedagógico.  Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, el presente artículo tiene como objetivo principal propiciar la reflexión de las prácticas pedagógicas y su importancia en el fortalecimiento de la competencia lectura crítica; donde se mire el contexto y las realidades sociales como elementos primordiales en la dinámica de la clase y en la búsqueda del conocimiento.  Para ello, se realiza un diálogo de saberes entre distintos autores que confluyen en esta temática (Freire, Giroux, Díaz Barriga, Olga Zuluaga, entre otros) y se esboza la mirada del Ministerio de Educación Nacional – Colombia en cuanto a la Lectura Crítica.
La Enseñanza del Derecho. Visión desde la Experiencia de la Universidad Hispanoamericana de Costa Rica
Authors: Vignoli Chessler . Piero
Published: October 2023

La enseñanza del Derecho en Costa Rica data de más de doscientos años y es una profesión que goza de prestigio social. No obstante, está en el debate nacional el cuestionamiento de la calidad de los programas que se imparten y la formación de los profesionales que se entregan a la sociedad. Aunque las críticas que se realizan abarcan a las universidades públicas y privadas, muchas veces son más enfáticas en estas últimas, por lo que el reto de su perfeccionamiento es aún mayor. En el ámbito de las universidades privadas se encuentra la Universidad Hispanoamericana, cuya carrera de Derecho está inmersa en un proceso de mejora continua que le permita la acreditación. Teniendo en cuenta la experiencia acumulada, y la observación participante como método de investigación cualitativa, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar el estado actual de la enseñanza del Derecho en Costa Rica, con una visión de la proyección de la carrera en la Universidad Hispanoamericana, en su quehacer por la elevación de la calidad en la formación de los futuros juristas y así de esta forma romper con los paradigmas tradicionales en la enseñanza de esta ciencia social. Los resultados que se muestran están referidos a la propuesta de mejoramiento de la calidad de la Carrera de Derecho.

Authors: Beirute Miranda Francisco Javier
Published: October 2023

Con el fin de comprender la diferencia entre la gamificación y la lúdica se decidió crear esta investigación, la cual pretende aclarar, por lo menos en parte, las diferencias y similitudes entre estos dos términos. A lo largo de la misma se analiza el pensamiento de varios autores al respecto. Se trata de un estudio cualitativo no experimental basado en las experiencias y posicione de algunos teóricos alrededor del tema. El presente estudio inicia con una aproximación a la definición del concepto gamificación para luego comentar la necesidad actual de incrementar los esfuerzos de las entidades relacionadas al respecto con el fin de subir el nivel de calidad de los procesos docentes. Mas adelante, se pretende comprender el concepto de lúdica bajo la óptica de varios autores, llevando al lector a una aproximación cognitiva del término gamificación desde sus esferas de significado, importancia y características.

Published: October 2023

The Middle Eastern media generally promotes the dignity of women more. The issues facing women who have endured conflict or sexual assault are constantly brought up in the news and widely distributed through movies. Discourse based on media culture demonstrates how firmly the Middle East supports the rights and dignity of women. The desire of the media to demonstrate the strength and might of a nation, a person, or a viewpoint is directly tied to the political and economic interests of this. Power relations are actually depicted in Middle Eastern media by a culture that has evolved from generation to generation. Unlike before the movement to uphold women’s rights, men's right to express their masculinity is now limited. This is the state of the art in scientific writings that take a media, political economy, and history approach to studying Middle Eastern media culture. Researchers in Indonesia still hardly ever use qualitative research methodologies that take a media political economy perspective with four units of analysis, including history, social totality, morality, and praxis orientation, that are connected to media cultures outside of Indonesia (the Middle East). The goal of this study was to determine the Middle Eastern countries' power structures based on their publicized media cultures. The Middle East is particularly receptive to industrialization that helps women, as shown by historical characteristics of the region that produce films and news about women's fights that women always win over males. Furthermore, the Middle East is home to a large number of female political figures, demonstrating that the media's political economy interests in promoting women are upheld there.

Published: October 2023

LAPOR namely an application for public complaints is one of the steps taken by the central government to anticipate the need for feedback from the public on the services provided by the government. Feedback in providing services is important because it can be a material for improvement for Sidoarjo Regency Government agencies. The benefits of conducting research are to find out the effectiveness of the application of LAPOR, as well as to find out what factors are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in implementing LAPOR in Sidoarjo. This research refers to the theory of Organization Public Relationship (OPR). This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, with the subject being the focus of the Sidoarjo Regency Communication and Information Service, while the object is the People's Online Aspirations and Complaints Service (LAPOR). The results of this study show that the LAPOR application involves public participation and increases two-way interaction between the community and the government in overseeing development programs. This has proven to be effective from the 2023 reports for January and February which show that there are relatively many complaints coming in, and the average number of complaints in that month is road infrastructure. The application of LAPOR in the city of Sidoarjo may face several obstacles, including limited access and understanding of technology, not all people have adequate access to the internet or the devices needed to use the LAPOR application.
Cultural Studies and Media Ecology: Identifying Mass Culture and Cultural Proliferation through Javanese Pop Music on Social Media
Authors: Rohmatul Hidayah Arina , Retpitasari Ellyda
Published: October 2023

The presence of Javanese pop music on social media is an interesting phenomenon to study. This phenomenon illustrates that there is a cultural transformation in society. To explore this, the researcher conducted a study using the audience reception analysis method to find out how the construction of people's meanings of the Pop Javanese phenomenon on social media, how they think the role of social media in the transformation of music that is happening and in-depth interviews with local Pop Jawa musicians, Den Juang, regarding their motives and goals for popularizing this music through social media. The data findings show that media ecology theory negates the concept of mass culture or popular culture in cultural studies. The point of emphasis in cultural studies focuses on the view that the media is a place of cultural production. Thus, there is a process of hegemony that leads to the common sense of society to accept the general "truth" spread through the media. However, the facts on the ground support the thinking of media ecology theory, which indeed looks at the development of media as a message of transformation of human civilization without being balanced with more depth and understanding of the messages conveyed.
Technology Exploration and Technology Exploitation in Japanese Chemical Companies
Authors: Azri Johan  , Nurhayati Issa  , Yoshiyuki Matsuura  , Mohammad Ali Tareq
Published: October 2023

This study analyses Japanese chemical companies’ performance based on open innovation activities. 19 listed chemical companies from Tokyo Stock Exchange were selected for the study. Secondary data from chemical companies' patents information and company transactions are collected through the private patent database, Derwent Innovation - Clarivate and private financial database, Thomson Reuters - Eikon. The findings indicate that open innovation practices did not improve Japanese chemical companies’ performance (return on net operating assets). Overall, neither technology exploration nor technology exploitation competencies are contributing to company performance, but one significant finding is found where divestitures of subsidiaries and joint ventures are improving company performance. In conclusion, some suggestions have been made for Japanese chemical companies to practice open innovation activities more efficiently.

We present electron densities n
e in the interstellar medium (ISM) of star-forming galaxies at z = 4–9 observed by the JWST/NIRSpec GLASS, Early Release Observations, and CEERS programs. We carefully evaluate the line-spread functions of the NIRSpec instrument as a function of wavelength with the calibration data of a planetary nebula taken on board, and obtain secure [O ii] λ
λ3726, 3729 doublet fluxes for 14 galaxies at z = 4.02–8.68 falling on the star formation main sequence with the NIRSpec high- and medium-resolution spectra. We thus derive the electron densities of singly ionized oxygen nebulae with the standard n
e indicator of the [O ii] doublet, and find that the electron densities of the z = 4–9 galaxies are n
e ≳ 300 cm−3 significantly higher than those of low-z galaxies at a given stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), and specific SFR. Interestingly, the typical electron densities of the singly ionized nebulae increase from z = 0 to z = 1−3 and z = 4–9, which is approximated by the evolutionary relation of n
e ∝ (1 + z)
p
with p ∼ 1–2. Although it is not obvious that the ISM property of n
e is influenced by global galaxy properties, these results may suggest that the nebula densities of high-z galaxies are generally high due to the compact morphologies of high-z galaxies evolving by

e due to the high electron temperature of high-z metal-poor nebulae.
