Revisiting news editors’ evaluation of journalism courses and graduate employability
Authors: Cullen Trevor , Glitsos Laura , Burns Andrea
Published: June 2023

This research project deployed one-on-one, semi-structured interviews with news editors in Perth, Western Australia, to evaluate journalism courses and student employability across the five Perth-based universities that teach journalism (Edith Cowan, Murdoch, Curtin, University of Western Australia [UWA] and Notre Dame universities). The 2022 interviews were undertaken with a view to compare and contrast the results to similar interviews published in 2014. The findings indicate that industry practitioners still think universities are typically the best place to teach journalism, and that students are highly competent in digital technologies. However, there is concern about the current state of graduate general and civil knowledge. Other trends include a growing sense that journalism students should be given training in public relations foundations and, additionally, that most editors would like to be involved with university curriculums. A major difference was an awareness during interviews in 2022 that tertiary staff cuts and financial pressures complicate the maintenance of high standards.

Factors determining fashion clothing interest and purchase intention: A study of Generation Z consumers in India
Authors: Singh Neetu , Chakrabarti Niketa , Tripathi Rajesh
Published: June 2023

This research provides a framework of factors determining clothing interest and subsequent purchase motivation of Generation Z consumers in India. The predictors of young consumers’ clothing interest are uniqueness, self-concept, brand image, word of mouth and perceived quality, with price consciousness moderating the interaction between clothing interest and purchase intention. The study employed structural equation modelling to analyse data collected via a self-administered questionnaire from 211 consumers across India aged 18–24. The resultant model established the role of uniqueness, self-concept and brand image as significant predictors of clothing interest, which influenced consumers’ purchase intention positively. Both word of mouth and perceived quality have a low impact on the fashion clothing consumption of young consumers. The moderating role of price consciousness was also not established indicating that young consumers would go ahead with their clothing purchase if they develop an interest in it, regardless of the price. As the results confirmed the role of uniqueness, self-concept and brand image on clothing interest, which in turn influence consumers’ purchase motivation, this study throws significant insight on factors, which determine young consumers’ clothing interest. The research will hence enable clothing brands to develop strategies, which fit the young consumers’ values and appeal to their aspirational lifestyle, influencing their purchase motivation and brand loyalty in return.
Soma
Authors: Gardiner Shaun
Published: June 2023

Soma is an abstract comic exploring the relationship between the creative act and mental health with an emphasis on embodiment. The title derives from the Greek term as used in Homer’s Iliad, where the word is used to refer not simply to the body, but to the dead body and also refers to the intoxicant used in Vedic ritual. As an abstract comic, the emphasis is not on narrative momentum or the development of an argument, but rather the cultivation of a tone or mood. In line with this, the comic’s visual approach partly takes its inspiration from black metal and other extreme forms of music, where the lyrics’ deliberate indecipherability recasts them as pure musical elements rather than conveyors of information. In a similar vein Soma’s use of words is intended as primarily rhythmical rather than information-bearing; rendered in such a way as to make them at times illegible, they become subsumed into the design. This strategy lies parallel to the aim of the comic as a whole: the reintegration of mind and body through the creative act here imagined as an act of self-cannibalization, recasting, in the terms of the title, the dead body as a ritual intoxicant.
Pull quote
Authors: Leake Laurel Lynn
Published: June 2023

Pull quote was originally published in CBA #56&57: Uncomics, a collection of works guest-edited by Allen Haverholm meant to ‘unmake’ comics. This unusual prompt challenged me to almost entirely drop text, representational imagery, and narrative and embrace abstraction instead. My goal was to create a sequence of pages with echoes of comics structures like panels and gutters and that can still be ‘read’ even without a strict left-to-right and up-to-down format.

I began this comic by lightly tracing the underlying shapes in magazines called page architecture – pictures, headers, articles, ads, etc. – and used them as a foundation for coloured pencil and marker abstractions. This led to unexpected images that shook me out of my usual style. This interestingly abstract ‘readability’ allows readers to drift through Pull quote taking in the soft, melting forms on the pages in their own ways – maybe as physical spaces, tangible objects or simply flat colours.

The title comes from the term for short quotes that editors pluck from an article and feature as attention-grabbing headers or graphics. Print magazines have a certain visual architecture that is unique to the medium, and tailored to different genres and purposes and that language has been proliferated through ‘western’ graphic design in general. But all these design choices are usually invisible to the reader, existing to move us smoothly through an article from beginning to end (including the ads). Although I took these unseen shapes and let them take centre stage, my process does not result in neat, legible graphic design. Instead, it produces chaotic tangles of organic and angular forms that cannot be easily organized by the eye. Even if the reader does not know about the tracing process I used or the meaning of the title, I think it resulted in abstractions with a nagging sense of familiarity and that evoke some of the information overload of contemporary life.

Troubling the sequential image: The poetry comics of Bianca Stone
Authors: Hickey Nora , Ketcham Amaris Feland
Published: June 2023

Bianca Stone’s poetry comics often cast narrative and common panel transitions aside to centre the lyricism and playfulness of text and image, while retaining some ‘hallmarks’ of comics such as the speech bubble and pictorial sequence. Stone’s Poetry Comics from the Book of Hours is one of the few single-authored collections of poetry comics currently in print. In addition to her poetry comics, Stone has collaborated with poets to create illustrated texts. Notably, her collaboration with the poet and translator Anne Carson produced a new translation of Antigone (Antigonick), which moves beyond a strictly illustrated text without becoming a full-fledged graphic novel. Most recently, Stone ‘illustrated’ a Gertrude Stein poem to make a children’s book, A Little Called Pauline; she notes that this book would be challenging to read to children since images are a further abstraction of an already abstract text. Like much of Stone’s work, A Little Called Pauline defies a direct adaptation of the text. Despite all her work in the field, Stone’s comics remain largely unstudied. By examining three of her books, this article will illuminate Stone’s important, ongoing, role in the world of comics hybridity and rightfully place her in the rich history of dynamic creators who beg us to reimagine the comics medium and its definitions. To better understand her techniques, we consider her work using existing ideas about comics from a variety of creators and scholars. As we explored Stone’s work, we found that poetry comics is a rich genre, often opposing traditional definitions of comics, that could benefit from more study by comics scholars.
The shape of European jazz: On mute, mutable and pedagogical musical representations
Authors: Fraser Benjamin
Published: June 2023

Readers of comics can easily call to mind images of musical notation they have seen on the page. It is a cliché of the medium that a speech balloon bearing a pair of quarter notes usually hovers near a singing bird, and it is no less common that floods of eighth, quarter, half and whole notes emanate from a turntable speaker or the bell of a saxophone drawn inside the panel borders. Yet the ways in which musical notation and musical expression take shape on the comics page are highly contextualized. For those comics that move beyond stereotypical depictions of musical sounds, how musical notes and emanations are depicted on the page are closely connected with the theme, critical aspirations and sociocultural context of a given work. Focusing on the representation of Black American jazz music in particular, and its transatlantic resonance in Europe (Germany, France and Spain) during the twentieth century, this article investigates three divergent manifestations of this phenomenon. By analysing innovative examples of musical representation from Berlin (Jason Lutes), Total Jazz (Blutch) and Montoliu Plays Tete (Gani Jakupi and Miquel Jurado), a basic typology is offered of mute, mutable and pedagogical representations of music in which comics form, audience reception and social context are interconnected.
‘Tu te trompes, Fantasio’: Yves Chaland’s decoding and recoding of Spirou
Authors: Dépinoy Denis
Published: June 2023

Framing Yves Chaland’s Spirou as a return to and a quest for origins, this article examines how Chaland creates the illusion that his Spirou harks back to the so-called golden age of bande dessinée. Borrowing from the formal and thematic tropes and codes of the European hero travelling to colonial Africa that were established during this golden age, Chaland constructs the double of Jijé’s and Franquin’s Spirou. This double, structured around a series of mistakes and illusions, appears in turn to participate in the deconstruction of the very codes of heroism around which this golden age was built, and around which it may still be perceived.

La ansiedad del inmigrante indocumentado en la novela juvenil española
Authors: Ouahib Mohammed
Published: June 2023

Desde hace, aproximadamente, tres decenios, la cuestión del fenómeno de la inmigración, generada particular y trágicamente por su carácter indocumentado, ocupa un lugar paradójicamente central y marginal en la literatura española contemporánea. Central porque ha servido de materia fértil para algunos escritores, y marginal porque ha sido casi ignorada por la crítica, pese al intento de algunos autores que han retratado y contado esta compleja temática en sus textos, al crear personajes que sostienen un discurso racional, con argumentaciones que desacreditan la ideología oficial a partir de un discurso moralizador, denunciador y alarmista. Por esta razón, a partir de mediados de los años noventa surgieron una veintena de obras de ficción sobre la masiva llegada de inmigrantes indocumentados en pateras, provenientes al principio de países del norte de África, muy especialmente de Marruecos, porque se venía produciendo en España un gran despegue económico que condujo al aumento del nivel de vida de sus ciudadanos, convertido, así, en uno de los destinos favoritos para miles de inmigrantes en busca de un mundo aparentemente ‘mejor’, pasando de ser un país históricamente emisor de emigrantes a otro receptor de los mismos. En este artículo, nuestro principal objetivo consiste en abordar el tema migratorio a través de dos obras juveniles La aventura de Saíd y ¿Dónde estás Ahmed?, de Josep Lorman y Manuel Valls, respectivamente, que tratan el racismo y la discriminación que sufren los inmigrantes marroquíes en España, sobre todo en las ciudades de Barcelona y Madrid, aplicando el enfoque del análisis crítico del discurso desarrollado por el destacado lingüista neerlandés Teun Van Dijk.
Restos de aura en los viejos escenarios de rodaje: la recreación de secuencias cinematográficas en la narrativa española contemporánea
Authors: Gómez Trueba Teresa
Published: June 2023

Este artículo analiza y compara cuatro obras narrativas de la literatura española del siglo xxi –el relato «Un recorrido por los monumentos de La aventura», recogido en El hacedor (de Borges). Remake (2011) de Agustín Fernández Mallo, y las novelas Marienbad eléctrico (2015) de Enrique Vila-Matas, Feliz final (2018) de Isaac Rosa y Remake (2020) de Bruno Galindo– a partir de un motivo argumental común a todas ellas: la visita de los narradores protagonistas a los escenarios reales en los que se rodaron míticas escenas de cuatro clásicos del cine europeo: L’avventura (1960) de Michelangelo Antonioni, L’année dernière à Marienbad (1961) de Alain Resnais, Viaggio in Italia (1954) de Roberto Rossellini y El acorazado Potemkin (1925) de Sergei Eisenstein, respectivamente. Más allá del mero homenaje o de comunes casos de intertextualidad, los argumentos de las cuatro obras nos proponen un retorno al espacio-tiempo del rodaje, así como una peculiar recreación de escenarios y escenas cinematográficas bien conocidas, poniendo el foco de atención en lo que podría considerarse una estética de la repetición (Balló & Pérez, 2005). Por detrás de las obras analizadas se vislumbra la concepción de la escritura como reescritura, de la creación como remake. Asimismo, se pretende demostrar cómo los personajes que protagonizan estas obras coinciden en buscar con sus peculiares actos recreacionistas esa moderna consideración del ‘aura’ de la obra de arte que subyace en el concepto de ‘auras frías’ de José Luis Brea (1991), no basada en aquella unicidad que reclamara Walter Benjamin, sino precisamente en su potencial capacidad de ser infinitamente reproducida.
Luisa Carnés y su contribución a la difusión del teatro de agitación y propaganda durante la guerra civil española
Authors: Plaza Plaza Antonio
Published: June 2023

El estudio presentado aborda la difusión del teatro de agitación y propaganda en España en 1936 en relación con la puesta en marcha de la organización Altavoz del Frente. El teatro de agitación llegó a la escena española por influencia de la Revolución Rusa y fue desarrollado durante la República de Weimar (1918-1933), principalmente, a través de la obra teórica del dramaturgo alemán Erwin Piscator. Su presencia en los escenarios españoles resultó bastante marginal, si bien logró su mayor difusión en Madrid y Barcelona, entre 1931 y 1934. En España, esta modalidad teatral aparece vinculada a la propaganda política y, en particular, en clara dependencia del PCE (Madrid) y el BOC (Barcelona). Ambos partidos la utilizaron como instrumento de agitprop con el fin de extender su influencia social, sobre todo, entre los jóvenes y a través de la cultura (por ejemplo, con la formación de grupos teatrales). Durante la guerra civil española (1936-1939), este teatro alternativo tuvo una presencia destacada en el frente y la retaguardia, con la formación de numerosos grupos teatrales, que actuaban con la intención de difundir los valores políticos e ideológicos de la democracia republicana. Aspiraban a estimular la participación consciente de la población en la lucha armada, que debía combatir contra la rebelión del general Franco y sus aliados alemanes e italianos. La escritora y periodista Luisa Carnés –que forma parte de la intelectualidad republicana y cuyo compromiso político con la República amenazada se demostró muy firme– escribió en el verano de 1936 una obra corta, Así empezó…, la cual se estrenó junto a otras ya conocidas de los escritores César Falcón, Rafael Alberti, e Irene Falcón, en el teatro Lara de Madrid, el 22 de octubre de 1936. Hasta el momento no se ha localizado el texto de la obra de Carnés. Desde su trabajo como periodista, entre 1936 y 1938, la misma autora contribuirá también con sus escritos a difundir las actividades de los grupos teatrales que representan el teatro de agitación y propaganda en la retaguardia.
La imagen de Circe en la poesía española contemporánea
Authors: Gómez Jiménez Miguel
Published: June 2023

El mito de Circe pervive en la poesía española contemporánea de los últimos cincuenta años. En el presente artículo se recoge un conjunto representativo de poemas de autores diferentes y estilos heterogéneos que reescriben el mito desde un punto de vista personal y subjetivo. En este periodo de tiempo es posible afirmar que existen tres funciones del mito que aglutinan la diversidad de autores: de contraste, de experimentación poética y, finalmente, de subversión y reivindicación. Con ello se prueba cómo Circe se aleja de la imagen tradicional para aproximarse lentamente a la representación de la identidad de una mujer actual.

Growth traits, hematological, and ruminal fluid profile of sheep offered ensiled coffee skin replacing dried water spinach
Authors: Amam Amam , Jadmiko Mochammad Wildan , Harsita Pradiptya Ayu , Sjofjan Osfar , Adli Danung Nur
Published: June 2023

Background and Aim: Developing simple, cost-efficient sheep feed will improve farmers’ incomes. Including coffee skin in feed offers the most technical method of increasing sheep weight gain. This study aimed to evaluate varying proportions of ensiled coffee skin replacing dried water spinach and determine the optimal combination for the growth performance, physiological and hematological profiles, and rumen fluid of sheep.

Materials and Methods: Eighty-four animals were randomly allocated to the treatments, arranged in a randomized block design using the initial weight as a block. Seven treatment diets were adjusted and a 12-animal replication was used for each treatment. The treatments were as follows: T0: 30% maize stover, 30% dried water spinach, 5% pollard, 20% coffee skin; T1: 30% maize stover, 25% dried water spinach, 5% pollard, 5% ensiled coffee skin; T2: 30% maize stover, 20% dried water spinach, 5% pollard, 10% ensiled coffee skin; T3: 30% maize stover, 15% dried water spinach, 5% pollard, 15% ensiled coffee skin; T4: 30% maize stover, 10% dried water spinach, 5% pollard, 20% ensiled coffee skin; T5: 30% maize stover, 5% dried water spinach, 5% pollard, 25% ensiled coffee skin; T6: 30% maize stover, 5% pollard, and 30% ensiled coffee skin. The sheep were reared for 70 days.The parameters observed during the early stage included growth performance (initial body weight, LW gain, final body weight, and feed intake). At the end of periods, a representative sample of ruminal fluid (approximately 150 mL) was collected from slaughtered sheep, duplicated, and then incubated for 18 h and blood samples were collected from the sheep (jugular vein) in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tubes. Then, used to analyze various blood biochemical parameters.

Results: The final body weights showed a linear curve increasing as the treatment increased (p < 0.05). The ensiled coffee skin tended to increase at 6 h incubation time, producing reduced methane gas (p < 0.05). However, in general, the use of ensiled coffee skin did not significantly alter the blood biochemistry of crossbreed sheep (p > 0.05). There was no significant effect on the protozoal population (p > 0.05).

Conclusion: Increasing the level of ensiled coffee skin up to 30% replacing dried water spinach increased the final body weight of crossbreed sheep with no adverse effect.

Keywords: biochemical blood, coffee skin, crossbreed sheep, ensiling, final body weight.
Correlation of Mottle Disease Severity and Insect Vector Abundance on Black Pepper Yield
Authors: Miftakhurohmah  , Wahyuno Dono , Hidayat Sri Hendrastuti , Mutaqin Kikin Hamzah , Soekarno Bonny Poernomo Wahyu
Published: June 2023

Insect-borne viral diseases epidemics are influenced by interaction among host plants, viruses, their vectors, and environment. Two species of mealybugs i.e. Planococcus minor and Ferrisia virgata are known as virus vectors that cause mottle disease on black pepper (Piper nigrum). Research was conducted to determine the main factors affecting mottle disease spread in the field. Study was conducted by observing 30 productive black pepper plants at the experimental field in Sukabumi, West Java. The parameters involved abundance of mealybugs, severity of mottle disease, and yield of black pepper plants. Disease severity and plant yield was assessed for three consecutive harvest seasons, while mealybug abundance was observed every two months for a year. The results showed that abundance of mealybugs did not have significant affect to disease severity and plant yield, indicating the vectors in the field does not play as a prominent role in disease spreading. Simple linear regression between disease severity and plant yield showed coefficient determination of R2 value about 0.4351 with negative correlation, indicating opposite effect between severity and plant yield. Increasing disease severity affect moderately plant yield decrease. Therefore, planting virus free seed stocks and applying good cultivation practices in the field will inhibit disease development and spreading which in turn will affect continuous optimal plant yields.
The blurring of the boundaries: changes in verb/noun heterosemy in Recent English
Authors: Shao Bin , Zheng Jing , De Smet Hendrik
Published: June 2023

Conversion is a common feature of present-day English, leading to many ‘heterosemous’ words that express related meanings across multiple word classes. Especially common is verb/noun heterosemy, as in flow or hand, both of which can be used as verbs or as nouns. The prevalence of verb/noun heterosemy sets English apart from closely related Germanic languages and is one respect in which English behaves as a language with high boundary permeability. This paper investigates how verb/noun heterosemy has been evolving in Recent English (1920s–2010s). Using quantitative analysis within a large sample of 877 heterosemous words, it is shown that associations between specific words and word classes have been weakening over the last century. More precisely, within our sample, heterosemous words on average tend to develop towards more balanced heterosemy, whereby their association to either one word class or another becomes less pronounced. The findings suggest that English is in the process of a long-term drift towards greater boundary permeability. As high boundary permeability has been associated with low reliance on inflectional morphology in a language, this could be a long-term consequence of the overall loss of inflections earlier in the history of the language.

Resilience in nursing education: an evolutionary concept analysis
Authors: Tsui Joyce , Adam Simon
Published: June 2023

Objectives

Resilience is a complex concept that is extensively drawn upon in higher education, nursing included. The objective is to examine the concept of resilience and its use within nursing education.

Methods

Rodgers’ evolutionary concept analysis was used to explore this concept.

Results

The current focus on fostering resilience in undergraduate nursing education predominantly focuses on educational interventions to support one’s ability to self-care continues to be pervasive within the nursing literature. More recent dialogue encourages a more holistic approach that examine interventions from both individual and structural perspectives.

Conclusions

Recommendations for future research are to examine the synergy between individual, contextual, and structural factors to support resilience in nursing students.

Implications for International Audience

Based on the concept analysis, resilience is contextual. Therefore, nurse educators may support and foster nursing students’ resilience by having increased awareness of both individual and structural perspectives of resilience.

Objectives

To present a case of a new pathogenic variant of DICER1.

Case presentation

13-year-old female with non-toxic multinodular goiter and ovarian Sertoli–Leydig cell tumor, in whom a pineal parenchymal tumor of intermediate differentiation was diagnosed. Next-generation sequencing revealed a new germline mutation in the DICER1 gene (exon 16, c2488del [pGlu830Serfs*2] in heterozygosis), establishing the diagnosis of DICER1 syndrome.

Conclusions

Mutations in the DICER1 gene cause genetic predisposition to a wide spectrum of benign or malignant tumors from childhood to adulthood.
Spanish modal ellipsis is not null complement anaphora
Authors: Fernández-Sánchez Javier
Published: June 2023

Modal verbs are well-known to license ellipsis of their complements under certain conditions. In the literature on Spanish, such sequences, which I refer to as Modal Ellipsis (ME), have been traditionally argued to involve a null pronoun. These analyses therefore treat ME simply as an instance of Null Complement Anaphora (NCA). In this article, I scrutinize the data adduced in the literature on Spanish and defend that (i) ME in this language is different from NCA, and (ii) ME must involve PF-deletion of a TP node. Even though these claims are not new, I provide novel data in an attempt to clarify some of the controversial facts and claims that exist in the Spanish literature. In doing so, I strengthen the recent view of ME as a PF-deletion phenomenon.
The Prosecutor’s Power to Correct and Prevent Unjust Convictions
Authors: Blair Rebecca , Krinsky Miriam Aroni
Published: June 2023

Over the past three decades, it has become increasingly clear that the United States’ protections for criminal defendants are insufficient to prevent unjust convictions. The increased availability of DNA testing and surge in exonerations have cast a bright light on the prevalence of wrongful convictions and the systemic factors that drive these errors. Yet, despite increased awareness of these concerns, wrongfully convicted individuals still face tremendous barriers to justice. In order to address these challenges, a growing number of prosecutors have established Conviction Integrity Units (CIUs)We use the term CIU to refer broadly to a unit within a prosecutor’s office dedicated to reviewing wrongful conviction claims, although the official terms used to refer to these units vary by office. For example, these units are sometimes called Conviction Review Units, which can be used interchangeably with CIUs, or Post-Conviction Justice Units, which, as we explain in Section 5, perform the functions of a CIU but include a broader focus. dedicated to reviewing wrongful conviction claims. This work has, over time, informed some prosecutors’ efforts to prevent future wrongful convictions by developing a »just culture« based on shared accountability and continuous improvement. As the movement to address wrongful convictions continues to expand, some prosecutors are beginning to advocate for broader reforms and a holistic vision of post-conviction justice.
Language in multilingual families during the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway: a survey of challenges and opportunities
Authors: García González Elisabet , Liu Liquan , Lanza Elizabeth
Published: June 2023

The first lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in school closures and homeschooling for families across the world. This provided a unique scenario to investigate multilingual family language interaction, and specifically, challenges and opportunities for home language (HL) use. This study is rooted in Family Language Policy (FLP) research, building on previous models of language policy as language beliefs, practices and management, as it addresses the effects of the lockdown on the use of, and exposure to, HLs. An online survey was used to assess the language beliefs, practices and management in a sample of families in Norway, a country with a significant and complex linguistic diversity. Our results indicate overall positive attitudes towards multilingualism in Norway, which are associated with an increased use of, and exposure to, Norwegian and HLs during the lockdown. Furthermore, we find a unique presence of English in multilingual families in Norway, especially across online spaces. Lastly, our study shows that the perception of multilingualism as a source of well-being is associated with positive effects of the lockdown in the use of HLs during the pandemic. We contend that this result can be taken as an example that, even in dire times of despair, families can find opportunities to promote multilingualism and language maintenance.
Ionic liquids as model systems for the study of the behaviour of electrolytes and surfactants in solutions
Authors: Bešter-Rogač Marija
Published: June 2023

Ionic liquids are among the most studied systems in recent years, and this field is still growing considerably, focusing not only on fundamental research but also on the development of ionic liquids for specific applications. In this paper, the similarities and differences between conventional, “classical” electrolytes and common surfactants and ionic liquids, as well as the surface-active ionic liquids, are discussed to highlight their importance and point out their weaknesses. A brief review of the literature data shows that ionic liquids behave like “classical” electrolytes in solutions and can be described by existing models within the range of their validity. Models that describe concentrated electrolyte solutions well are still lacking, and here ionic liquids, which are less constrained by solubility than ordinary electrolytes, can serve as model systems. The micellization of surface-active ionic liquids in aqueous solutions can be described in the same way as for conventional surfactants, but surface-active ionic liquids offer more opportunities to study specific ion and isomer effects.
Analysis of Williamson fluid flow incorporating Darcy’s resistance and electro kinetics: analytical and numerical results
Authors: Noreen Saima , Chamkha Ali J. , Jahan Aqsa
Published: June 2023

This article discusses a mathematical model for the electrokinetic and Darcy’s resistance of Williamson fluid in an electroosmotic pumping environment. The zeta potential at walls aids in peristaltic movement, and porous dissipation is incorporated into this modulation by the Williamson fluid’s material parameters. Through the use of Debye-Huckel approximations, long wavelengths, and low Reynolds numbers, the model equations are simplified. Mathematica software is used to produce analytical and numerical results, and plots and analyses are done using the included parameters on physical quantities of interest. This study has various practical applications, such as modifying belt resistance in laboratory drainage testing and improving pipeline design. It could also potentially aid in the development of blood filtration and purification techniques and optimize drug delivery systems that utilize fluids. It is observed that the modified Darcy’s law is more accurate for porosity effects in electroosmotic peristaltic channels and results in higher shear stress at the channel wall compared to Darcy’s law.

Abstract. In this era of globalization, industrial growth in Indonesia occurs very rapidly, causing environmental problems, especially waste originating from industrial disposal reaching 3% (2018: PKLH). When textile waste ends up in landfills, the clothes will be difficult to decompose. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize overcoming waste pollution. Implementing an upcycle using 3R will minimize the increase in waste due to textiles in Indonesia. The purpose of this paper is to make quality fashion products to reduce textile waste by applying 3R using mixed media techniques. To overcome these problems the method used is the ADDIE Model development method. The development model using ADDIE has 5 stages, namely Analysis (analysis), Design (design), Development (development), Implementation (implementation / execution), and Evaluation (evaluation / feedback). The results of expert validation indicate that this product is feasible to produce, while the results of the implementation by conducting trials in small groups show that this product is up-to-date, cheap, comfortable to use, has a unique motif and has nuances of the culture of the City of Malang.
