Published: September 2023

Bearing adalah salah satu komponen  penting yang di pergunakan pada motor penggerak untuk mendukung industri menengah seperti bengkel-bengkel service sepeda motor yang banyak digunakan pada motor-motor induksi dan juga roda, bearing juga dibutuhkan pada industri skala Besar, hanya saja pemakaian bearing rentan lebih cepat rusak dibanding bearing dengan sistem pelumasan, sehingga jangka waktu pemakaian  perlu dibuat jadwal penggantian permanen sehingga penggantian kuantiti bearing pun semakin terjadwal, akan tetapi pada kenyataan nya penggantian bearing saat ini masih dilakukan dengan cara manual yaitu  dengan cara di ketok agar bearing bisa masuk ke shaft atau rumah bearing sehingga berpotensi kerusakan pada bearing pada saat dipasang, dan berdampak pada waktu life time yang lebih singkat, Untuk itu penelitian disini merancang alat pemuai bearing dengan system pengkonversian laju arus listrik yang dialirkan menjadi energi panas dimana desain alat memuat 2 buah bearing dengan perencanaan pemakaian dinding material menggunakan acrylik dengan ketebalan 5 mm  dan mampu melepaskan panas  sebesar 150°  serta meneyerap panas sebesar 180° dan panas yang keluar dari alat pemuai sebesar 85°. Dimana hasil pengujian pada bearing type Enzo 695Z diameter dalam 5 mm dan diameter luar 13mm mampu memuai hingga ada penambahan 0,2 mm sedangkan Biaya Listrik per Jam     = Rp. 249,6/Jam dimana waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk memuaikan 2 (dua) bearing kurang lebih 30 menit.
Masyarakat Kalijeruk dalam Pelestarian Pertunjukan Ebeg
Authors: Fadillah Nuzulul - , Kurnia Heri -
Published: September 2023

The sophistication of technology and communication systems has had an impact on the high flow of globalization that has entered Indonesia. Not a few foreign cultural influences that enter are not in accordance with the cultural norms of the Indonesian nation. This is because people are more familiar with foreign cultures compared to native Indonesian culture. One of them is the traditional art of Ebeg as one of the noble heritages of the ancestors of the Indonesian people, which from now on is rarely found. A sense of belonging to the young people of Kalijeruk Village is needed for Ebeg art as an art that deserves to be upheld and becomes the pride of the community. This Ebeg art is widely displayed by people at festivals, celebrations, competitions and celebrations on certain days. The author discusses the preservation of Ebeg art using documentation and observation studies. Through literature review and observational notes, the data obtained was then collected, selected and presented in the discussion. As early as possible, the young people of Kalijeruk Village are introduced to Ebeg art and trained to play it so that they can continue the art that has been passed down from generation to generation as an intangible cultural heritage. The explanation presented is expected to be able to become a value of public awareness of the preservation of the Indonesian nation's traditional arts.

Authors: SALAR Sinem , KAYIHAN Hülya
Published: September 2023

Purpose: Experiences of violence negatively affect women's independence and daily activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the "Model of Human Occupation (MOHO)"-based occupational therapy intervention on the occupational competence and occupational participation of women affected by domestic violence and living in a women's shelter. Materials and Methods: The MOHO-based occupational therapy program, which includes 10 intervention areas, was applied to 13 women in two women’s shelters. Four-week (16 sessions) individual and group training and environmental interventions were provided. Participants' occupational competence was assessed with the “Occupational Self-Assessment” and occupational participation with the “Model of Human Occupation Screening Tool”. Assessments were conducted before the intervention, after the intervention, and at the 3-month follow-up. Results: Statistically significant differences were found in occupational competence (p=0.002) and occupational participation (p=0.004) between pre-intervention and 3-month follow-up assessments. Improvements were noted in all domains (OSA-competence, and volution, habituation, communication-interaction, process skills, and environment parameters of MOHOST) (p0.05). Discussion: MOHO-based occupational therapy interventions delivered in women's shelters could have a positive impact on the occupational competence and occupational participation of women experiencing violence.
The Lifecomp concept: a management activity resource in the preschool education system
Authors: Halian Olena
Published: September 2023

The article outlines the relevance of the research of the manager’s competencies in the preschool education system in view of his individual experience in solving tasks of activity and abilities that provide a socio-contextual level of interaction with colleagues, parents of children, and the public. It is argued that the manager’s competencies ontologically correspond to professional functions and at the same time should be complemented by the requirements of interaction in the «person-person» system. The significance of the combination, complementarity in the activity of the head of the ability to ensure the functioning of the preschool education institution and his socio-emotional and metacognitive competences has been proven. It is about the manager’s development of his potential, self-regulation of his own emotions, thoughts and behavior, overcoming the challenges of activity and interaction, manifestation of his professional and personality agency, which corresponds to the LifeComp in European Framework of Key Competencies. It is recognized that life competences can increase resilience and become a resource in the implementation of professional functions by the manager. This conclusion is based into account the partial concordance of LifeComp with aspects of the manifestation of the management style. The closeness of the content elements of the personal/social sphere of life competences and the personal/situational aspect of the management style indicates the similarity of epistemological attitudes, in the semantics of which the ability of the manager to organize cooperation with others, taking into account the meaning and value context of joint activity, appears. Similar results apply to the comparison of LifeComp and the competencies of the Professional Standard «Head (director) of a preschool education institution». Emphasis is placed on the need to increase the productivity of the manager’s self-realization through the cognitive, reflective, emotional, regulatory, communicative, interactive, and valuable components of experience. Keywords: management, preschool education, manager, life competencies (LifeComp), professional competencies, personal and professional growth.

Published: September 2023

Pendidikan merupakan gerbang utama untuk menghasilkan sumber daya manusia yang cerdas dan unggul, termasuk di dalamnya yaitu mempelajari bahasa asing. Dalam prosesnya, mempelajari bahasa asing terutama bahasa Arab, setiap siswa pasti mengalami kesulitan belajar, karena mereka mempelajari bahasa yang sangat jarang mereka gunakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan di MI Ulil Amri, menunjukkan bahwa siswa cukup antusias dalam pelajaran bahasa Arab, namun mereka mengalami kesulitan dalam mengingat kosa kata. Oleh karena itu, metode bernyanyi kosa kata anggota tubuh dalam bahasa Arab diterapkan agar siswa dapat dengan mudah menghafal dan mengingat kosa kata anggota tubuh. Penerapan metode bernyanyi dalam pembelajaran bahasa Arab yang dilaksanakan di kelas 5 MI Ulil Amri melibatkan beberapa Maharah (keterampilan belajar bahasa Arab), yaitu Maharatul Kitabah, Maharatul Istima’, Maharatul Qiraah, langkah terakhir yaitu penerapan bunyi dan pengamatan  tulisan bahasa Arab ke dalam nada/lagu untuk dinyanyikan. Metode bernyanyi merupakan metode pembelajaran yang menggunakan syair-syair yang dilagukan. Biasanya syair/lirik yang digunakan disesuaikan dengan materi yang akan diajarkan. Dengan bernyanyi, anak dapat meluapkan rasa gembira, suka cita, dan suatu yang menyenangkan. Penerapan metode bernyanyi kosa kata anggota tubuh dalam bahasa Arab cukup memudahkan siswa dalam menghafal kosa kata bahasa Arab, khususnya anggota tubuh. Rekomendasi untuk langkah selanjutnya, bisa menggunakan gerakan saat menyanyikan kosa kata anggota tubuh dalam bahasa Arab, sehingga lebih efektif dan siswa semakin bersemangat dalam belajar menghafal kosa kata bahasa Arab, terutama kosa kata anggota tubuh.

Has the Experience of Online Study under COVID-19 Improved Outcomes of Study in Universities?
Authors: Kurihara Yutaka
Published: September 2023

This article examines the learning outcomes of after COVID-19 in universities. Now, almost all students experienced online learning instead of face-to-face during the pandemic period. The students surveyed after COVID-19 are now taking face-to-face classes after a year or two of online-based learning experience. This study compares their learning outcomes to those of students who previously only had face-to-face classes. Owing to the statistical analyses, some points are clear. Final results after COVID-19 clearly show that student outcomes dropped. Attendance and quiz scores also drop slightly and lead to reduced scores in the final results. It can be inferred that students have lost their attitude to take on challenges without giving up as a whole. Moreover, report scores dropped significantly. The rate of decline is larger than attendance and quiz scores. The reports in the surveyed classes do not rely on a shallow understanding or investigation, so the decreasing may be serious. Losing opportunities to attend and participate in classes reduce self-management ability and opportunities for communication. Online classes do not provide sufficient opportunities to be exposed to different ideas, objectively reexamine their own ideas, and create new ideas of their own. These skills may have suffered serious decline. Ultimately, it all comes down to encouraging students to be spontaneous. Even if the results are not so good, teaching too much should not be a hindrance to voluntary learning. One way to solve this seems to be a flipped classroom.

Out-of-School Youth Civic Engagement in the Microcosm of Society
Authors: Castillo Buddy M. , Okpala Chibuzor Ifeanyi , Tamondong Joanabeth P. , Siganay Casandra M.
Published: September 2023

The youth sector is at the heart of society; they can inspire social change. Out-of-school youth leads the global crisis of declining youth engagement. Past investigations linked the problem to apathy and that the out-of-school youth is an underserved sector without the means to activate their agency effectively. The advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution put in place new platforms where typologies of civic engagement are carried out, and there are external and internal factors that influence these. As the barangay reflects the larger Philippine society, this study examined the typologies of civic engagement that Filipino out-of-school youth participate in both in the traditional and non-traditional settings, the factors that influence their civic engagement participation, and their perceived significance of civic engagement. The study operated on a mixed-method design, which combined quantitative and qualitative research design elements to answer the research questions. The findings show that the modern youth manifested their intense participation in diverse social activities through digital civic engagement; they value civic engagement; they have a comprehensive understanding of what is happening around them; and they are conscious of their role and willing to do what they can to enrich their communities. To enhance the brewing potentials of their transformative character, existing public and private institutional mechanisms, programs, and networks must be strengthened and/or new ones created and explored geared towards fostering a more inclusive and healthy development of the out-of-school youth. The future promise of any nation can be directly measured by the present prospects of its youth.
Taming a Paper Tiger? A Political Economy of Support for the Repression of the Business Elite
Authors: Sinanoglu Semuhi
Published: September 2023

Why do autocrats financially repress some allies but not others during an economic crisis? When too many foxes are in the henhouse, an autocrat may purge his allies in bad times and shrink the winning coalition. However, it is a risky enterprise. If he targets the wrong elite, it may backfire and trigger coups and dissent. Despite the high risk, we still do not know much about precisely who autocrats are likely to sideline from the ruling coalition. I suggest that the autocrat’s business allies are a politically expedient target during economic crises because the people perceive the co-opted business elite as corrupt. Given their low public popularity, the autocrat may justifiably blame the greedy business elite for the country’s economic woes. To develop a framework for public support for repression, I focus on Turkey as a case – a highly polarized country that has experienced a protracted financial crisis. One novel contribution of this study is the use of visual conjoints. I created fake LinkedIn profiles of hypothetical businesspeople with AI-generated profile pictures and business logos. I measured people’s support for their financial repression, depending on their firm’s characteristics, sectoral affiliations, and partisan attitudes toward the government’s economic policies. The results suggest that public support for financial coercion depends on the regime’s political economy. People are more likely to condone the extra-taxation of the business elite, who owe their success to the regime and are perceived as responsible for the economic crisis. This paper contributes to a growing scholarship on micro-level determinants of autocratic purges, and its findings have broad implications for our understanding of elite defection and autocratic power-sharing arrangements.
The journal attention cycle: indicators as assets in the Chinese scientific publishing economy
Authors: Wang Jing , Halffman Willem , Horbach Serge P. J. M.
Published: September 2023

We analyze how journal business models are built on an attention cycle. In this cycle, measured attention, in the form of bibliometric indicators, becomes a key asset that can be converted into readership and submissions, which in turn may generate financial resources. Our paper illustrates this in the context of the Chinese publication system, where varying attention cycles coexist. In the Chinese state-run publication system, measured attention can be converted into public support, as well as increased subscription and submission revenue. Opportunities to assetize and convert attention and financial resources differ radically between English-language journals operating under Chinese control, China-based journals operating with international publishers, or Chinese-language journals. Using data from qualitative interviews with Chinese editors and publishers, we demonstrate how this conceptualization helps understand crucial differences between these journals, but also the specificity of the Chinese publishing system. In addition, we propose how the attention cycle can be used as an analytical tool to study publication systems in other contexts.
The Interplay Between the Motivational Drives of Autonomy and Competence on Declarative Memory
Authors: Abrahamse Mats D. , Bekkering Harold , van Lieshout Lieke
Published: September 2023

Autonomy and competence are extensively studied concepts known to impact intrinsic motivation. However, their effect on memorization and the interaction between these factors during learning remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the interplay between autonomy and competence in relation to declarative memory within a well-controlled experimental learning environment. Two experiments were conducted in which participants removed an occluding screen to reveal an object they had to memorize. Experiment 1 introduced a novel manipulation of competence through task difficulty, and its effect on declarative memory of the objects was assessed. Results indicated that perceived competence decreased as task difficulty increased, demonstrating that the manipulation was successful. Additionally, the findings demonstrated a positive impact of task difficulty on memory performance. Building upon these findings, Experiment 2 specifically examined the interaction between autonomy and competence on declarative memory. The results revealed an interaction effect between autonomy and competence on declarative memory, with autonomy enhancing memory performance only when competence was high. Collectively, these findings demonstrate a complex, yet meaningful, interaction between autonomy and competence, underscoring the need to consider both elements in educational and learning settings.
‘Chances are you’re about to lose’: new independent Australian safer gambling messages tested in UK and USA bettor samples
Authors: Newall Philip Warren Stirling , Torrance Jamie , Russell Alex M T , Rockloff Matthew , Hing Nerilee , Browne Matthew
Published: September 2023

Current industry-developed safer gambling messages such as ‘Take time to think’ and ‘Gamble responsibly’ have been criticized as ineffective slogans. As a result, Australia has recently introduced seven independently-developed safer gambling messages. The UK Government intends to introduce independently-developed messages from 2024 onwards, and this measure could be similarly appropriate for the US states where sports betting has been legalized and gambling advertising has become pervasive. Given this context, the current study recruited race and sports bettors from the UK and USA to elicit their perceptions of the seven Australian safer gambling messages. Participants (N = 1,865) rated on a Likert-scale seven newly introduced messages and two existing ones (‘Take time to think’ and ‘Gamble responsibly’) using seven evaluative statements. Participants also reported their levels of problem gambling severity. For most statements in both jurisdictions, the new messages performed significantly better than the existing ones. Specifically, the new messages were deemed more attention grabbing, applicable on a personal level, helpful to gamblers, and more likely to encourage cutbacks in gambling. The message that included a specific call to action (‘What are you prepared to lose today? Set a deposit limit’) was one of the best performing messages. Interaction effects observed in relation to jurisdiction, age, gender, and problem gambling severity were generally small enough to counteract the argument that different populations might benefit from substantially different messages. These findings add to previous research on the independent design of effective safer gambling messages.
What a relief! The pleasure of threat avoidance
Authors: Leng Lu , Beckers Tom , Vervliet Bram
Published: September 2023

Relief, a pleasurable experience, is often triggered by successful threat avoidance. Although relief is regarded as the positive reinforcer for avoidance behavior, its rewarding nature remains to be demonstrated. In our study, fifty participants responded to cues associated with different magnitudes of monetary values or electrical stimuli. Successful responses to those cues resulted in monetary gains (i.e., rewards) or omissions of electrical stimulation (i.e., relief), followed by a pleasantness rating scale. We also measured physiological arousal via skin conductance. As expected, we found that for reward and relief similarly, higher magnitudes elicited more successful responses, higher pleasantness ratings, and higher skin conductance responses. Moreover, differential reward/relief response patterns predicted later choices between reward and relief cues. These findings indicate that relief induced by threat omissions is functionally equivalent to receiving a reward, confirming that relief is a positive reinforcer for threat avoidance behaviors, which provides a new theoretical perspective on the learning process of active threat avoidance.
The Benefits of Group Identification for PhD Candidates' Health and Work
Authors: Bonetto Eric , Adam-Troian Jais
Published: September 2023

In line with the social cure literature, the present preregistered study aimed to test the extent to which group identification could have beneficial effects for PhD candidates, in particular by promoting their mental health, mitigating their feelings of imposture, and promoting their work. An online questionnaire was distributed to a convenience sample of 124 French PhD candidates, and assessed participants’ identification to the group of PhD candidates, psychological health (i.e., stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, obsessive passion), imposter thoughts, and work related variables expected to favor career success (i.e., self-efficacy, perceived competence, harmonious passion). As expected, group identification showed negative associations with stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, and obsessive passion. A contrario, group identification also showed positive associations with self-efficacy, perceived competence, and harmonious passion. However, no association was observed between group identification and imposter thoughts. Taken together, these results highlight the beneficial effects of social identification for PhD candidates’ mental health and work. Theoretical and practical perspectives are discussed.

Introduction: Distal tibia fracture tends to angulate while using a standard intramedullary interlocking nail. By using a single Poller screw, the medullary cavity's functional diameter is reduced. This leads to angulation correction and three-point fixations, which improve the mechanical stability of the nail-bone construct.

Aims: To assess the functional and radiological results of the intramedullary interlocking nail and poller screw in management of adult distal tibia fracture.

Methods: All patients with distal tibia fractures age more than 18 years, treated with intramedullary interlocking nails and a single poller screw at Nepalgunj Medical College between January 2022 and April 2023 were included in this prospective study.  Radiological examination involved measuring sagittal and coronal plane angulation pre and postoperatively, while functional outcome was assessed using the Karlstorm- Olerud score. Ethical clearance was obtained from Institutional Review Committee.

Results: Total 30 patients, 19 male and 11 females with mean age of 32.37 ± 11.02 (range 18 to 62 years) were treated. Mean difference of diameter between isthmus and fracture site was statistically significant. There was significant reduction in coronal and sagittal plane angulation after surgery which was maintained till union.  All fractures united at an average of 17.60 ± 2.25 weeks, with 90% having good to excellent results.

Conclusion: Using a poller screw with an intramedullary interlocking nail can greatly alleviate the angulation issue with the distal fragment for distal tibia fracture.

Introduction: Breast milk is the best feed for the infants. Breast milk has got several immunological benefits protecting the infants from various infectious diseases and some chronic diseases of adulthood. Exclusively breastfed babies get less infected and have proper growth and development.

Aims: To study the impact of exclusive breastfeeding on morbidity and hospital stay of infants of four weeks to six months of age.

Methods: This was a hospital based cross sectional study done at Pediatric department of Nepalgunj Medical College, Nepalgunj, a tertiary care referral hospital in Nepal, conducted over a period of one year from January 2022 - December 2022. All the infants meeting the inclusion criteria were included for the study.

Results: A total of 278 infants of 4 weeks to 6 months of age meeting inclusion criteria were included. More than sixty four percent infants were exclusively breastfed. The majority of patients belonged to modified kuppuswamy class 3.  Significant impact on nutritional outcome was seen with feeding pattern as 1.7 higher times chance of being underweight in breastfeeding along with supplementary feeding with a highly significant p value of 0.002. Exclusively breastfed infants suffering from respiratory diseases, gastroenteritis, fever and due to other various morbidities were hospitalized for less than one week. Morbidity and hospital stay had a statistically significant relationship with feeding pattern. Higher morbidity was observed due to various diseases of infancy like respiratory diseases, gastroenteritis, sepsis, etc. in breastfeeding along with supplementary feeding group as compared to exclusively breastfeeding group.

Conclusion: Statistically significant association was found in terms of morbidity, hospital stay and feeding pattern amongst exclusively breastfed infants and breastfeeding along with supplementary fed infants. Less morbidity and shorter hospital stay was observed in exclusively breastfed infants as compared to breastfeeding along with supplementary feeding infants.

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and the burden of which is rising in low and middle-income countries. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk scoring is a part of treatment guideline for hypertension and dyslipidemia management.

Aims: This study is carried out to for the assessment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk among hypertensive patient.

Methods: Hypertensive patients presenting to outpatient department were assessed for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk and the 10 years risk score calculation was done using American College of Cardiology/ American Heart Association pooled cohort equation.

Results: Out of total 212 patients 103 were male and 109 were female. 70 (33.02%) patients were smoker. The average systolic BP was 152 ± 18 mm Hg. Out of all hypertensive patients 164(77.36%) were receiving treatment and 48(22.64%) were newly diagnosed. Total of 76 (35.8%) patients were diabetic, 14 newly diagnosed. Total cholesterol was in the range of 367 mg /dl to 68mg/dl with mean 190 ±35mg/dl. HDL cholesterol range was 15 mg/dl to 78mg/dl with mean 42 ± 12 mg /dl. 10 years atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk was < 5% in 51(24.06%), 5 to < 7.5% in 34(16.04%), 7.5 to < 10% in 68(32.08%), 10 to <15% in 35(16.51%) and >15 % in 24(11.32%).

Conclusion: From this study we can conclude that atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk among hypertensive population is considerable and risk score calculation should be a part of patient evaluation so that they can be managed appropriately and the future cardiovascular events can be prevented.

Introduction: Mental Health Literacy is a broader concept under Health Literacy which enables a person to recognize mental disorders, seeks knowledge on prevention of mental diseases, ability to help others, increases use of available health services and enhances improved self-help strategies for better management of mental illness.

Aims: To determine the sociodemographic factors that influence mental health literacy, assessment of knowledge, erroneous beliefs/stereotypes, help-seeking behaviours and self-help strategies associated with mental health.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted among the selected secondary school students, by simple random technique from selected government schools in Kohalpur using the mental health questionnaire, (5-point Likert scale). Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 20 and levels of mental health literacy in various domains was calculated.

Results: Among 420 participants, 53.33% were females and 46.67% males with mean age 15.12 years. The proximity to people with mental health problems was 13.1% and without was 86.9%. The Global Mental Health Literacy mean (3.67 with SD+/- 0.30) was taken as the reference point, the mean score above which is considered high and below it is low. Low levels of Knowledge (mean 3.64, SD+/- 0.43) and erroneous beliefs (mean 3.38, SD+/- 0.39) of mental health literacy were observed. Levels of self-help strategies (mean 3.96, SD+/- 0.703) was highest followed by help-seeking behaviours (mean 3.94, SD+/- 0.61).

Conclusion: There are low levels of knowledge and high stereotypes/ erroneous beliefs in secondary school children studying in government schools. Programs aimed to increase knowledge and awareness on mental health and decrease stereotypes need to be implemented at schools.
