Abstract: The frequency of interaction between homeroom teachers and students and parents/guardians aswell as the level of homeroom involvement in overcoming student problems and providingappropriate solutions are important factors in student management in schools. The resul ts of theliterature review show that frequent and positive interactions between homeroom teachers andstudents and parents/guardians can increase learning motivation, parental participation ineducation, and reduce deviant behavior. However, overly frequent and excessive interactions canhave the opposite effect, such as reducing students' confidence and increasing anxiety. Homeroomteachers also have an important role in overcoming student problems and providing appropriatesolutions to address various student problems. However, the level of homeroom involvement canvary depending on factors such as experience, motivation, and ability. Therefore, support andtraining are needed for homeroom teachers to improve their skills and involvement in helpingstudents overcome problems and achieve better results. It is important to find the right balance inthe frequency of interactions and ensure that those interactions are of good quality and positive tosupport the achievement of student learning goals.Keywords: frequency of homeroom interaction; quality of homeroom interaction; homeroomengagement levelAbstrak: Frekuensi interaksi antara wali kelas dengan siswa dan orang tua/wali murid serta tingkat keterlibatan wali kelas dalam mengatasi permasalahan siswa dan memberikan solusi yang tepat merupakan faktor penting dalam manajemen peserta didik di sekolah. Hasil literature review menunjukkan bahwa interaksi yang sering dan positif antara wali kelas dengan siswa dan orang tua/wali murid dapat meningkatkan motivasi belajar, partisipasi orang tua dalam pendidikan, dan mengurangi perilaku menyimpang. Namun, interaksi yang terlalu sering dan berlebihan dapat memiliki efek yang berlawanan, seperti mengurangi kepercayaan diri siswa dan meningkatkan kecemasan. Wali kelas juga memiliki peran penting dalam mengatasi masalah siswa dan memberikan solusi yang tepat untuk mengatasi berbagai masalah siswa. Namun, tingkat keterlibatan wali kelas dapat bervariasi tergantung pada faktor-faktor seperti pengalaman, motivasi, dan kemampuan. Oleh karena itu, dukungan dan pelatihan diperlukan bagi wali kelas untuk meningkatkan keterampilan dan keterlibatan mereka dalam membantu siswa mengatasi masalah dan mencapai hasil yang lebih baik. Penting untuk menemukan keseimbangan yang tepat dalam frekuensi interaksi dan memastikan bahwa interaksi tersebut berkualitas baik dan positif untuk mendukung pencapaian tujuan belajar siswa.Kata kunci: frekuensi interaksi wali kelas; kualitas interaksi wali kelas; tingkat keterlibatan wali kelas

Authors: Akhyan Amnur , Fadhli Fadhli
Published: May 2023

Orifice is a device that is placed in a pipe flow to inhibit the flow of fluid and cause a pressure drop. The measurement of the flow rate (flow rate) is obtained from the difference in pressure due to the pressure drop. In this study, it analyzed the influence of differences in plate orifice thickness variations used ranging from 2 mm to 4 mm thick with variations in increments every 0.5 mm with an orifice center hole diameter of 1.5 cm. Orifice placement is placed in an area whose speed profile is still changing or called the entrance region with a pipe diameter used 2.54 cm (1 Inch) diameter in the pipe. Then along the entrance area are paired 12 piezometer points along 75 cm with a position of laying 6 piezometer points before the orifice valve and 6 piezometer points after the orifice valve and in this experiment set the Re value to 3 Variations of Re, namely Re 1: 9784.5; Re2: 14647.5; Re 3: 19510.45 and this experiment was carried out at a temperature of 27 °C. In this study, the results were obtained for the highest irrecoverable pressure drop value located in the flow discharge with Re 19510.45 and at the thickness of the plate orifice 4 mm with an irrecoverable pressure drop value of 3033.01 Pa and while for the lowest irrecoverable pressure drop value, it was located in the flow discharge with a value of Re 9784.5 at an orifice plate thickness of 2 mm with an irrecoverable pressure drop value of 548.26 Pa. The highest discharge of coefficient (Cd) value lies in the flow discharge with a value of Re 14647.5 at the plate orifice thickness of 3.5 with a Cd value of 0.718 and while for the lowest discharge of coefficient (Cd) value lies in the flow discharge with Re 14647.5 with an orifice plate thickness of 2 mm with a Cd value of 0.609.

Published: May 2023

Introducción: la evaluación de la Calidad de Vida Relacionada con la Salud (CVRS) y el estado funcional de pacientes con Ataque Cerebrovascular (ACV), podría complementar la práctica clínica. Objetivo: evaluar la CVRS, aplicando EuroQol-5-dimensiones (EQ-5D) en pacientes colombianos con ACV y correlacionar sus resultados con la escala de Rankin Modificada (mRS). Métodos: estudio de corte transversal analítico anidado a una cohorte de pacientes con ACV isquémico en Colombia con mediana de 3 meses de seguimiento (Q1: 1- Q3:3) post-ictus. Correlacionamos los dominios del EQ-5D, índice EQ-5D y mRS con la puntuación de EQ-5D VAS. Generamos un modelo de regresión lineal simple para evaluar la variabilidad usando r2. Resultados: un total de 91 pacientes con una edad media 71,2 años; 59,3 % hombres. Se encontró correlación inversa entre los dominios EQ-5D, mayor para movilidad (rs = -0,69) y menor para dolor/malestar (rs -0,52, p < 0,001). El r2 osciló entre 0,25 (dolor/malestar) y 0,47 (índice EQ-5D). Los pacientes con mRS ≥ 3 redujeron significativamente su puntuación EQ-5D VAS en 25,64 puntos (IC 95%: -33,04; -18,24). La variabilidad en las puntuaciones EQ-5D VAS se produjo por el índice EQ-5D (47 %) y por mRS (34 %). Conclusiones: la correlación entre EQ-5D y mRS fue favorable. Aunque EQ-5D y mRS evalúan diferentes esferas en los pacientes con ACV, la aplicación del EQ-5D en podría aportar información multidimensional sobre cómo se afecta la vida después de un ictus, así como orientar estrategias de rehabilitación en esferas como depresión, autocuidado, ansiedad y dolor; especialmente relevante para pacientes con discapacidades (mRS ≥ 3).

Authors: Delgado Galeano Mayut
Published: May 2023

Introducción: la medición de la presión arterial es uno de los procedimientos más realizados en la práctica clínica. La presente revisión narrativa pretende sintetizar los aspectos relevantes que rodearon la definición de la hipertensión arterial, el recorrido histórico del tratamiento de esta y el aporte de los estudios a la disminución de la mortalidad por enfermedad cardiovascular en el tiempo. Metodología: revisión narrativa de la historia de la hipertensión arterial, desde el reconocimiento de la presión arterial alta como un factor asociado al riesgo cardiovascular y la evolución histórica del tratamiento hasta los hallazgos significativos del estudio SPRINT, publicado en 2015. Resultados: hasta hace aproximadamente 50 años la hipertensión arterial era conocida como una patología esencial, es decir, esta condición no siempre fue considerada como una enfermedad. El descubrimiento de la presión sanguínea ha sido atribuido a Stephen Hales, poeta, orador y sacerdote nacido en Inglaterra. La primera medición de la presión sanguínea e incidentalmente de la presión del pulso la realizó en 1733 en animales. Se describe el origen de la presión arterial, la hipertensión arterial, el camino recorrido para el reconocimiento de esta condición como enfermedad y posteriormente su tratamiento, hasta llegar al estudio SPRINT en 2015, el cual fue contundente en demostrar el beneficio de reducir la cifra de presión arterial sistólica objetivo en una población no diabética. Conclusión: los resultados de esta revisión narrativa exponen cómo el reconocimiento de la presión arterial alta como un factor de riesgo cardiovascular permitió el avance en la investigación científica para determinar el tratamiento y las cifras de presión arterial que favorecen la reducción de la mortalidad y morbilidad por esta causa.

Authors: Ghosh Srutarshi , Gupta Anil Kumar , Kumar Dileep , Mishra Sudhir , Yadav Ganesh , Agarwal Avinash
Published: May 2023

Objectives: To evaluate changes in Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) parameters in individuals with paraplegia following Partial Body Weight Supported Treadmill Training (PBWSTT).

Design: Randomized controlled trial

Setting: Inpatient rehabilitation facility

Participants: Adults with chronic SCI (n = 42).

Intervention: Patients were randomly allocated in CR group (N= 20) receiving Conventional Rehabilitation or in PBWSTT group (N=22) receiving both Conventional Rehabilitation and PBWSTT for 4 weeks.

Main outcome measure(s): Changes in % predicted PFT parameter for the subject’s age, sex and BMI.

Results: With PBWSTT, significant PFT changes were VC (P =.009), PEF (p = .001) and ERV (p = .032). In complete SCI, PEF (p = .026) improved, while in incomplete SCI VC (p = .005), ERV (p = .029), PEF( p = .001) improved with PBWSTT. In upper neurological level of injury (NLI) (T6-T11), PBWSTT improved PEF (p = .004) alone while in lower NLI (T12-L2), with PBWSTT both ERV (p = .016) and PEF (p = .035) improved.

Conclusions: With added PBWSTT most parameters including Vital Capacity, the global measure of PFT, improved significantly, especially in Lower NLI and incomplete SCI. The positive role of this noninvasive exercise based intervention in improving lung functions comes as an added benefit to the usual benefit of locomotion. This may encourage researchers to design future larger studies to validate it aiming the inclusion of PBWSTT in routine SCI rehabilitation protocols.

Authors: Yordanova Zornitsa
Published: May 2023

Big data has already been used successfully by firms for innovation development and has been involved in many business processes to render them more efficient and productive. The innovation process is one of the most critical processes in firms related to all others at the firm level and beyond mostly due to its impact on a firm’s overall performance and potential. The innovation process is highly data-dependent, so it is exceedingly impacted by the development of emerging technologies and big data in particular. In this study, we are exploring how big data is affecting the firm’s innovation process and how it is incorporated into each of its process steps to facilitate its demands. To examine the overall picture of the multidisciplinary topic, we conduct both a bibliometric analysis and a systematic analysis of the scientific literature in order to define the scope of the current application of big data within the innovation process. Furthermore, we identify under-researched topics to indicate future research directions.

21st-century education affected pre-service teachers to have TPACK competencies. One way to support pre-service teacher to have TPACK competencies is through teaching materials. The development of e-modules, particularly those of geospatial technology, was prompted by the poor quality of the instructional materials utilized in geography classes. Therefore, a need analysis is required before designing and developing the e-modules. This research evaluated a need analysis based on the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. This research aimed to explain the need analysis related to: 1) curriculum documents, 2) the lecturing process, 3) the availability of laboratories, and 4) the student's need for e-module based on geomorphology course. The data was collected from 186 university students who were preparing as pre-service geography teachers. The results indicated that pre-service geography teachers required e-modules to support the course and achieve TPACK competencies. The developed e-modules are expected to support in geomorphology lectures through the use of geospatial data, websites, and applications.

Published: May 2023

In today's dynamic, rapidly changing world, a bachelor's engineer needs to have creative thinking skills in order to be successful in their professional activities. A future graduate must learn to see the problem as a whole, and not in the context of one area of science or technology. This causes the education system to develop and implement innovative forms of engineering personnel training aimed at solving practice-oriented, research problems. The authors considered the issue of applying an educational model that combines natural sciences and engineering subjects into a single system in the process of teaching engineering bachelors. The issues of effective formation of critical thinking skills based on an integrative approach are analyzed. The results of experimental work convincingly prove that the majority of students studying on the basis of the author's methodology have achieved an average and high level of creative thinking skills.

Published: May 2023

Agricultural practices and water availability are highly correlated with sustainable watershed management. The Sebuku and Sesayap watersheds have a role to play for water conservation and support for agricultural practices. The research aimed to investigate, assess and map the carrying capacity of the environment in the supply of fresh water and food. The method is carried out using a mathematical model, Simple Additive Weighting to calculate the area of each carrying capacity category using ArcGIS 10.7 programs. This ecosystem service approach is used to measure carrying capacity. The approach is based on the assumption that the higher the performance of ecosystem services, the higher the carrying capacity of the environment. Carrying capacity is the maximum number of populations that can be sustainably supported by a local ecosystem, meaning that it has a carrying capacity and assimilation capacity. The results show that the application of the Simple Additive Weighting model has advantages over the expert-based valuation method which has been widely used, which proves convenience in the investigation and assessment process. Investigations and assessments show that the function of the Sebuku and Sesayap watersheds as a food providers is dominated by high category areas (Iecc 3.41 – 4.20) with an area of 1,178,843.93 ha. Meanwhile, the Sebuku watershed is dominated by the medium category area (Iecc 2.61 - 3.40) with an area of 850,633.60 ha. In addition, the environmental carrying capacity of the downstream watershed area in providing fresh water tends to be low (Iecc 1.81 – 2.60) even though the environmental carrying capacity of the downstream area as a food provider is high (Iecc 3.41 – 4.20), because these areas are generally fluvial plains and coastal plains which are used as pond cultivation areas. Overall, watershed conditions tend to experience a decrease in carrying capacity, both in terms of providing food and fresh water. Therefore, to achieve sustainable watershed management, it is necessary to use a food commodity-based water conservation approach with the application of dry land agroforestry practices in the middle region, and silvo-fishery in the downstream area.

Dietary diversity is a qualitative and proxy indicator of food security status. Social, physical, economic and biological factors, among others, may impact positively or negatively on the dietary diversity of a population. The aim of this study was to explore the food and dietary diversity in Malava and Lurambi sub-Counties of Kakamega County during COVID-19 pandemic. A descriptive survey design was used for data collection. The sample size was 200 households. A questionnaire that was designed and developed using KoBo Collect and synchronized to Open Data Kit (ODK) server was used to collect data. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 26.0 to generate descriptive and inferential statistical data. Independent t-test statistics for mean differences was used to determine differences in Household Dietary Diversity Scores (HDDS) between Lurambi and Malava sub-Counties. The study results showed that grains and grain products and all other starchy foods recorded the highest HDDS (100%), followed by dark green leafy vegetables (90.1%) and fruits (46.7%). Foods with the lowest HDDS were meat and meat products (16.5%) and other vegetables (19.7%). Lurambi sub-County had a higher dietary diversity score during COVID-19 pandemic as compared to Malava sub-County. The HDDS scores showed that the dietary diversity for Lurambi sub-County was 3.8 and that of Malava sub-County was 3.2. The T-test results were significant at p= 0.02, <0.05 at 95% CI. However, both sub-Counties had overall, a low HDDS as they did not reach the recommended dietary diversity of consuming foods from at least five food groups. Consequently, the overall low HDDS in both sub-Counties could imply that households did not have access to nutritious food during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study concluded that during COVID-19 pandemic, households in Kakamega had low HDDS and hence, establishing strategies for enhancing dietary diversity to improve food access during and beyond any pandemic was key.

Zimbabwe is an agricultural based economy contributing an average 20% to the gross domestic product (GDP). The sector has been facing a number of challenges including low productivity, erratic rainfall, poor soil fertility, low investment, shortages of farm power, poor physical and institutional infrastructure. Tobacco is one of the major crops grown in Zimbabwe normally accounting for more than 50% of agricultural exports, 30% of total exports and nearly 10% of GDP. The advent of COVID-19 significantly affected tobacco production. The government instituted measures such as restrictions on transportation and movement of people, lockdowns, curfews, limited gatherings and closure of schools and universities. The study investigated the effects of COVID-19 on smallholder tobacco farmers in Zimbabwe. The results revealed both positive and negative effects of COVID-19 on tobacco farmers. On the positive side, there has been an increased adoption of information communication technology among farmers. The negative effects of the COVID-19 included reduction in tobacco hectarage, distortions in supply chains, shortage of labour supply, increased cost of production and difficulty in accessing extension services. Extension workers were also not able to offer training to farmers, negatively affecting new tobacco farmers given that they had limited know-how on cultivation of the crop and to, later on, cure it. The non-contracted farmers adopted coping and resilience strategies that ensured that they minimised losses and debts. These farmers were worried about the persistence of the pandemic and how long it would take them to take their produce to the markets. The implication of the study is that shocks to the agriculture sector have serious ramifications on farmers and the downstream industries. There is need for the government to build resilient mechanisms for the farmers and ensure timely bailouts so that production and marketing are not disturbed.

Revisión de las pruebas de la existencia de maíz precerámico de los Andes Centrales
Authors: Bonavia Duccio , Grobman Alexander
Published: May 2023

Se hace una revisión de todos los yacimientos arqueológicos de los Andes Centrales en los que se ha encontrado maíz precerámico. Se presentan los contextos y las pruebas que certifican los hallazgos, descartándose los sitios dudosos. Al mismo tiempo se indican y se discuten las evidencias botánicas de los maíces en cuestión. Se llega a la conclusión que no cabe la menor duda de la existencia de maíz precerámico con características muy claras que lo diferencian del mesoamericano.
Repensando el Horizonte Medio: el caso de Conchopata, Ayacucho, Perú
Authors: Isbell William H.
Published: May 2023

El conocimiento del pasado se crea socialmente, en contextos históricos que influyen en la forma en que se entiende e interpreta la información arqueológica. En consecuencia, a medida que los tiempos cambian, los arqueólogos deben estar preparados para modificar su forma de pensar acerca de las culturas prehispánicas. Tanto el periodo cultural denominado Horizonte Medio como el sitio arqueólogico de Conchopata, en el valle de Ayacucho, Perú, parecían bien comprendidos hasta el momento; sin embargo, excavaciones recientes han revelado nuevas e inesperadas posibilidades.Los arqueólogos creían que una nueva ideología religiosa proveniente de Tiwanaku dio comienzo al Horizonte Medio en Conchopata, pero los recientemente definidos templos en forma de «D», que se encuentran asociados con el arte denominado «Tiwanaku», no tienen paralelo en el área de origen de Tiwanaku en el lago Titicaca.Conchopata era considerado como un centro de forma irregular y habitado primariamente por especialistas en la elaboracion de cerámica, pero las nuevas investigaciones demuestran que gran parte de su núcleo arquitectónico fue bien planificado y circundado por muros perimetrales y que podría haber existido un palacio en él. Se han excavado numerosas ofrendas de cerámica gigante, lo que sugiere que esta cerámica ceremonial podría haber sido usada para preparar y servir bebidas en fiestas organizadas por los antiguos reyes. Varias formas de contextos funerarios han sido identificados, desde estructuras simples, en cavidades en la roca madre, hasta construcciones mortuorias especiales. Finalmente, un conjunto de fechados radiocarbónicos confirma algunas ideas acerca del Horizonte Medio, pero sugieren también que la iconografía Tiwanaku no llegó a Conchopata hasta mediados de su ocupación, cuando una larga tradición de cerámica polícroma ya existía en la zona. Aparentemente, Conchopata fue mucho más que un simple receptor de una nueva religión y arte procedentes del altiplano. Por ello, los arqueólogos deben estar preparados para dejar de lado viejas ideas acerca de este complejo y del Horizonte Medio, a medida que emergen interpretaciones más convincentes.
Transformación social y política en el Callejón de Huaylas, siglos III-X D.C.
Authors: Ponte R. Víctor M.
Published: May 2023

Consecutivos proyectos de investigacion y rescate arqueológico realizados entre 1997 y 1999 en el área de explotación de la mina Pierina, Callejón de Huaylas, han permitido estudiar un conjunto de asentamientos prehispánicos de diversos periodos cronológicos. En este artículo se pone énfasis en los sitios del Período Intermedio Temprano y Horizonte Medio, se explica el patrón de asentamiento recuay y cómo fue transformado y absorbido por las fuerzas exógenas wari que irrumpen en el Callejón de Huaylas alrededor del siglo VI. El sistema de articulación local, sin embargo, persiste y solo se pueden detectar algunas señales de dominación externa.
Estructuras megalíticas funerarias en el complejo Huari
Authors: Pérez Ismael
Published: May 2023

Entre 1995 y 1997, la Universidad Nacional de San Cristóbal de Huamanga desarrolló labores de recuperación y puesta en valor de diversos monumentos prehispánicos, como en el complejo Huari, donde se excavaron y definieron nuevas evidencias de arquitectura megalítica de carácter funerario, con edificaciones subterráneas de varios niveles, algunas con plantas que evocan figuras de camélidos y cámaras funerarias para personajes de alto rango social. Estas son atribuidas a la época de máximo desarrollo urbano y expansión territorial del imperio Huari, el que dominó los Andes centrales entre los siglos VII y X d.C. Las estructuras en mención expresan un elevado conocimiento de la tecnología constructiva en piedra y probablemente fueron hechas por especialistas ayacuchanos que debieron recibir influencia no sólo de Tiahuanaco, sino también de otras culturas coetáneas de la sierra nor-central peruana.
