EPISTEMOLOGI RASIONALISTIK RENE DESCARTES DAN IMPLIKASINYA DALAM PENDIDIKAN MI
Authors: Marvida Tria , Lahabu Yessika Destiana
Published: August 2023

Tulisan ini membahas pemikiran rasionalisme Rene Descartes dan implikasinya terhadap pendidikan MI. Pemikiran Rene Descartes bahwa  pengetahuan berasal dari akal telah menjadi sebuah revolusi baru dalam dunia filsafat. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kepustakaan. Rasionalisme membuat siswa berpikir secara bebas untuk mengambangkan pikirannya dengan membangun pengetahuan independen dari realitas di luar hubungan. Dalam dunia pendidikan MI, pemikiran Rene Descartes telah memberikan landasan baru untuk mengkaji pengetahuan bukan hanya pada proses atau pengalaman, akan tetapi berfokus pada akal itu sendiri. Jika rasionalisme diterapkan dalam dunia pendidikan, maka siswa akan mampu berfikir yang nyata tetapi juga tentang hal-hal yang tidak nyata.

Reconfigurable Compact Quad-port MIMO Antennas for sub-6 GHz Applications
Authors: Qasim Hadi Kareem  , Rana Ahmed Shihab
Published: August 2023

This paper presents compact quad-port frequency reconfigurable multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antennas for 5 G applications that operate at sub-6 GHz. The proposed design provides more isolation (>13 dB) and pattern diversity using four orthogonal radiating elements. C-shaped metal is used to extend the antenna's radiating elements by inserting one positive intrinsic negative diode (PIN) in the metal. The C-shaped metal and matching stub achieve frequency reconfigurability with a consistent radiation pattern. The PIN diode's switching characteristics allow the frequency to be shifted between two communication bands. One mode (diode ON) covers 2.5 and 5 GHz, while the second mode (diode OFF) covers another dual band of 3.5 and 5.7 GHz. Substrate dimensions are only 50 x 50 x1.6 mm3, making the proposed design compact. Antenna peaks at a gain of 4.18 dB and radiation efficiencies of 80 and 94% in the four frequency bands. The antenna design is appropriate for multi-functional wireless systems and cognitive radio applications since it spans frequency bands below 6 GHz and can be reconfigurable between wide and narrow bands.
A Comprehensive Evaluation Study for the Maintenance Management System of Roadways: A Review
Authors: Mahmood K. Al-Obaidi  , Husam M. Al-Faris  , Raghdah H. Al-Sherif
Published: August 2023

Pavement infrastructure is essential and must be protected with limited resources. For decades, industrialized nations have used Pavement Management Systems (PMS) and pavement distress assessment to examine network and project-level pavement conditions. Pavement condition models can anticipate pavement degradation, schedule maintenance, and create multi-year rehabilitation plans based on historical data. Pavement condition surveys are done annually or biannually to calibrate pavement condition models and reduce network maintenance costs. This study highlights road system deficiencies to meet traffic demand, improper systematic methods of maintaining networks, budget constraints for decision makers, deficiencies in road geometrics, poor construction and maintenance practices, the need for proper planning and resource management, and improper planning. The technique comprises a theoretical element of PMS and a review of performance evaluation studies. A PMS lets users export data in an easy-to-understand manner, helping them manage their roadways better. Manual pavement distress surveys need certified raters.

Published: August 2023

Being a traditional and close-knit society, Pakistan has a substantial portion of the population who have consanguineous marriages. The purpose of this study is to investigate the socioeconomic and demographic factors behind consanguineous marriages and their effects on pregnancy outcomes. Secondary data of 13,558 married women, as provided in the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey (2012-13), was utilised to conduct this research. The results demonstrate that women who are poor, uneducated and belong to the least developed regions of the country, are significantly more likely to be in consanguineous marriages. There is a higher prevalence of miscarriages, abortions and stillbirths in such marriages as compared to non-consanguineous ones. Therefore, there is a need to create public awareness on the adverse health impacts of consanguineous marriages.
Disaster Risk Governance: Effects of Floods on Small Businesses in Jhang and Dera Ghazi Khan Districts, Pakistan
Authors: Saqib Khalid Imran , Awais Khaver Ahmed
Published: August 2023

Adapting to future climatic variability in semi-arid and arid areas requires devising effective adaptive strategies across sectors. It is in this context that this research surveyed two districts, Dera Ghazi Khan and Jhang in Pakistan, and investigated the impact of floods on small businesses through vulnerability analysis. The findings showed that flood damage to infrastructure and capital goods was debilitating for small businesses. Moreover, loss of utilities like electricity and transport was a significant hindrance in resuming business operations. Stocks and access to credit were deemed to be essential for ensuring quick recovery. In addition, the role of extended family, neighbours, police and Non-Governmental Organisations, was also found to be integral. Furthermore, risk was exacerbated due to the lack of effective early warning systems in communities. Therefore, decision-making was often based on existing power structures and tended to accentuate risks in flood-affected areas.
Romania’s National Plan against Illegal Logging: An Analysis of the Public Proposal
Authors: Cristian Bălăcescu Marian
Published: August 2023

This study analyses the extent to which the Romanian National Plan Against Illegal Logging (Planul Național de Combatere a Tăierilor Ilegale de Arbori (PNCTIA) fulfils the conditions of a functional public policy proposal; the degree of knowledge specialists (forestry staff, policemen, prosecutors); and the general public have about it; what efficiency they attribute to it; and the need for a new strategy. The main limitations of PNCTIA with respect to defining and formulating the public policy issue were identified using the document analysis technique. Moreover, the questionnaire technique was employed to evaluate the specialists and the public view towards the plan. Over 40% of the interviewees consider PNCTIA to be inefficient, while 33% were undecided. 77% wished for the adoption of a new public policy; 85% highlighted the matter as urgent. The low level of efficiency of PNCTIA was correlated with the need to have another intervention plan and with high urgency to implement the measures. The perspective of having a new programme correlates positively both with institutional involvement and with urgency level of the actions. The study highlights the importance of participatory processes in the development of public policies.
Quality Assurance of Teacher Education Programs - A Dilemma of Higher Education in Bahawalpur Division, Pakistan
Authors: Akhtar Misbah , Nazir Rabia , Adil Fareeha
Published: August 2023

Teachers’ training and teacher training programs are attracting the attention of a wide range of academicians and policymakers these days. The Government of Pakistan has provided a standard for the accreditation of teacher training programs recently. This study attempts to determine the extent of implementation of these standards in teachers’ training programs in Pakistan. Data was collected for this study using in-depth qualitative interviews. The target population was the teachers of higher education institutions in the Bahawalpur Division offering teacher training programs. Data were collected from those 20 respondents who were voluntarily willing to participate in the study. Using content analysis technique, the authors show that currently only one standard criterion, that is assessment quality of the program is up to the mark. The study shows that teachers are dissatisfied with the quality of the curriculum, finances provided by the institutions, research culture, governmental policy towards government institutions, and links with the community. The respondents indicate that the government policy towards teacher training programs is the main hurdle towards the enhancement of the quality of teacher training programs. The government should apply the same policy in teacher training programs with regard to public and private institutions for obtaining the degree as private institutions do not follow the same criteria for awarding the degree e.g., students of private institutions do not attend the institutes regularly. There is a dire need to implement approved standards in teacher training programs in Pakistan.

Monografija „Vaižganto asmuo ir kūryba: krikščionybės ir modernybės sąveika“ remiasi jungties ir sąveikos idėja tarp išskirtinai modernios lietuvių literatūros klasiko Juozo Tumo-Vaižganto (1869–1933) asmens laikysenos ir modernaus žmogaus grožiniuose kūriniuose vaizdavimo. Monografija parodo, kad lietuvių literatūros moksle įtvirtinta Vaižganto, kaip deimančiukų ieškotojo ar Vaižganto-legendos samprata, yra tik išorinės jo gyvenimo ir kūrybos istorijos dalis, trukdanti pamatyti nuolatinę Vaižganto pastangą kurti savo vidaus pasaulį, rinktis vertybes, nuolat reflektuoti atliekamus vaidmenis, gebėti daug ko atsisakyti. Monografijoje yra susitelkta į vidinės istorijos diskursą, svarbų ir grožiniuose kūriniuose, kuris dažnu atveju remiasi krikščionybės mokymu ir tiesomis.

Human activities are increasing the input of atmospheric particulate pollutants to forests. The components of particulate pollutants include inorganic anions, base cations and hydrocarbons. Continuous input of particulate pollutants may affect soil functioning in forests, but their effects may be modified by soil fauna. However, studies investigating how soil fauna affects the effects of particulate pollutants on soil functioning are lacking. Here, we investigated how earthworms and the particulate components interact in affecting soil enzymatic functions in a deciduous (Quercus variabilis) and a coniferous (Pinus massoniana) forest in southeast China. We manipulated the addition of nitrogen (N, ammonium nitrate), sodium (Na, sodium chloride) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs, five mixed PAHs) in field mesocosms with and without Eisenia fetida, an earthworm species colonizing forests in eastern China. After one year, N and Na addition increased, whereas PAHs decreased soil enzymatic functions, based on average Z scores of extracellular enzyme activities. Earthworms generally stabilized soil enzymatic functions via neutralizing the effects of N, Na and PAHs addition in the deciduous but not in the coniferous forest. Specifically, earthworms neutralized the effects of N and Na addition on soil pH and the effects of the addition of PAHs on soil microbial biomass. Further, both particulate components and earthworms changed the correlations among soil enzymatic and other ecosystem functions in the deciduous forest, but the effects depended on the type of particulate components. Generally, the effects of particulate components and earthworms on soil enzymatic functions were weaker in the coniferous than the deciduous forest. Overall, the results indicate that earthworms stabilize soil enzymatic functions in the deciduous but not the coniferous forest irrespective of the type of particulate components. This suggests that earthworms may neutralize the influence of atmospheric particulate pollutants on ecosystem functions, but the neutralization may be restricted to deciduous forests.

Published: August 2023

Dadas las demandas sociales actuales, como estrategias de gestión para la mitigación de conflictos se buscan herramientas con el menor impacto posible al entorno y relacionadas con el funcionamiento de los ecosistemas, como es por ejemplo el control biológico. En el presente trabajo se analizó el comportamiento espacial de zorros rojos (Vulpes vulpes) que fueron marcados con collares GPS y liberados en un lugar distinto al de su captura, con el objetivo de reducir la población de conejo de monte (Oryctolagus cuniculus) en un entorno agrícola. El resultado de los seguimientos mostró que el 47.1% de los zorros translocados abandonaron el área de estudio en un plazo medio de 12.6 ± 13.7 días, el 35.3% cesó inesperadamente su señal GPS, el 12.5% murió a los pocos días de su liberación y tan sólo uno se quedó en el área en que fue liberado (no translocado). Los ejemplares marcados mostraron una actividad principalmente nocturna y crepuscular, variando entre las distintas estaciones del año. El área de campeo promedio estimada fue de 44.3 ± 56.2 km2, y el núcleo de uso fue de 9.7 ± 14.8 km2. El 49.2% de las localizaciones fueron en zonas de uso agrícola, un 46.6% en zonas de vegetación natural, y un 4.2% sobre suelo urbano-industrial. Aunque los resultados sugieren que las translocaciones no fueron una medida efectiva para reducir las poblaciones de conejo, han permitido recopilar información sobre el comportamiento espacial del zorro en el sureste ibérico, un entorno altamente antropizado de paisajes transformados.

Introduction: Scaphoid fracture incidence has increased recently due to increased participation of people in sports and increased road traffic accidents and easy availability of diagnostic tools like Computed Tomography (CT), which help in easily diagnosing scaphoid fractures, and may be missed on routine radiographs. Aim: To evaluate the functional outcome of surgical intervention with percutaneous headless compression screw fixation for acute minimally displaced scaphoid fractures. Materials and Methods: The present study was a prospective cohort study in which patients with acute fractures of scaphoid bone managed with percutaneous headless compression screw fixation were included between January 2020 to December 2022 and were evaluated using the Modified Mayo Wrist Score (MMWS) and Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score. The data obtained was entered into a Microsoft Excel sheet, and statistical analysis was performed using a Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. Results: The study included 55 patients with a mean age of 32.9 years, out of which 43 were males and 12 were females. Road traffic accident injuries were in 19 patients, 17 were sports injuries and 19 were due to direct trauma. All patients were managed by percutaneous headless compression screw fixation. Among these, 27 patients showed excellent outcomes, 24 showed good outcomes, and four showed fair outcomes. Conclusion: This study shows that percutaneous fixation of minimally displaced scaphoid fractures results in early symptomatic relief and functional recovery. It shows that percutaneous fixation using a headless compression screw has similar functional outcomes and less hospital stay and patient scarring than in open fixation methods. Functional recovery is faster with percutaneous fixation than in non operative and open fixation.

Indonesia always experiences forest and peatland fires during the extreme dry season. Forest and land fires greatly affect productivity and the environment. The fire was very detrimental to the ecological, economic and social aspects, in addition to the spread of smoke in various countries. This study examines the recovery rate of peat soil after the 2015 fire in the Balangan River - Batangalai River Peat Hydrological Unit (KHG), South Kalimantan. Test results on post-fire land in 2015 after five years (T+5) with a pH value of 2.93; water content is 270.94% and bulk density is 0.225 g cm-3. At (T+7) the test results showed that the pH value was 3.20, the water content was 288.22% and the bulk density was 0.165 g cm-3. Changes in the value of physical properties for five years and seven years after the fire for the pH value increased by 8.60%; the water content value also increased by 5.99% and the bulk density value decreased by 5.99%. Test results on natural (unburn) land in 2015 after five years (T+5) with a pH value of 3.32; water content is 342.60% and bulk density is 0.098 g cm-3. At (T+7) the test results showed that the pH value was 3.43, the water content was 349.94% and the bulk density was 0.082 g cm-3. Changes in the value of physical properties for five years and seven years after the fire for the pH value increased by 3.13%; the value of water content also increased by 2.10% and the value of bulk density decreased by 19.51%. This research is able to indicate that the post fire peat soil naturally become getting close to the unburn condition even though it still in a degraded condition.
