Published: November 2023

This research aims to reveal the implementation and perceptions of the Kurikulum Merdeka by English teachers and also to find the English teachers’ problems in implementing the Kurikulum Merdeka. This research belonged to a qualitative study conducted by using interview and observation to collect data. The research participants were three English teachers at three Muhammadiyah Junior High Schools in Yogyakarta who had implemented the Kurikulum Merdeka. Interview guidelines, observation checklist, and observation field note were used as research instruments. This research used coding technique to analyze data. The research findings showed that the English teachers implemented the Kurikulum Merdeka by varying the learning process, adapting to the students’ characters, requiring more preparations, focusing the learning on vocabulary mastery, reading literacy, and the use of technology. In other words, the Kurikulum Merdeka has not been successfully implemented. Then, the teachers’ perceptions on the Kurikulum Merdeka were actually good but still confusing; the learning resources of Kurikulum Merdeka for teachers were diverse; the Kurikulum Merdeka demanded the development of better education and more differentiated learning; and the schools needed to change the learning activity budget and did a longer assessment analysis. Lastly, the problems in the Kurikulum Merdeka faced by English teachers were the lack of teachers’ understanding on the diverse students’ characters, the lack of equipment that supported learning English in the Kurikulum Merdeka, the need for a change in the mindset of parents about implementing the Kurikulum Merdeka, and the lack of understanding of the Kurikulum Merdeka.

Published: November 2023

Depression and anxiety are the most common mental illnesses encountered in patients visiting psychiatry outpatient clinics. The relative safety of majority of antidepressants and anxiolytics has increased their routine use. However, limited data is available on the prescribing patterns of these drugs, especially from the state of Telangana. The aim of this study was to assess the prescription pattern in depression and anxiety disorders in patients attending Psychiatry outpatient department of a tertiary care teaching hospital in Telangana. A prospective observational study was conducted in Psychiatry outpatient department in Government General Hospital (GGH), Nalgonda over a period of 6 months (March 2021 to August 2021). A total of 45 patients suffering from anxiety and depression, based on International Classification of Diseases-10th edition (ICD-10), were selected. Data was collected using a semi-structured proforma and analyzed. A total of 103 drugs were prescribed and the average number of drugs per prescription was 2.29. It was found that majority of patients were in 15-35 years age group (60%), female (62.22%), married (60%) and from urban background (82.2%). In the study population, 55.55% were suffering from anxiety disorders, out of which 31.11% had Generalized anxiety disorder. Among the depressive disorders (44.45%) majority had Severe depressive episode (26.67%) followed by Moderate depressive episode (17.78%). The duration of illness was less than 6 months in majority of patients (75.56%). Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) were the most common group of drugs prescribed. 41 prescriptions (91.11%) contained SSRIs, and Sertraline was the most common drug followed by Escitalopram. 93.33% of the prescriptions also included Benzodiazepines (Clonazepam). 35.55% of the prescriptions had fixed dose combinations, commonest being Escitalopram 10mg + Clonazepam 0.5mg.

Authors: M Saranyaa , Samar Asfiya , P Deepak , N Sahana , Nagaral Jayashree
Published: November 2023

Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. It is well established that the spontaneous reporting of ADR by the health-care professionals determines the success of a pharmacovigilance program, but not followed in practice. As the major reasons for the poor ADR reporting were said to be lack of awareness, training, and time, we did this study to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of nurses and junior doctors in our hospital towards ADR.

Aims and Objectives: To assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of pharmacovigilance among interns, postgraduates, and nurses at Hassan Institute of Medical Science Teaching Hospital.

Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study conducted among interns, postgraduates, and nurses working at Hassan Institute of Medical Sciences, Hassan Karnataka. This validated questionnaire had 19 questions pertaining to knowledge, attitude, and practice of pharmacovigilance.

Results: The questionnaire was sent to 120 interns, 89 postgraduates, and 375 nurses. Of which, 410 responded (70.2% response rate). Interns had better knowledge than postgraduates and nurses, but a good attitude was seen among all but comparatively better among the postgraduates. Still, the practice of ADR reporting is poor overall. Even though 74% of them came across ADR, only 32% managed to report them.

Conclusion: This study found that even though knowledge regarding pharmacovigilance among the health-care professionals involved in the study is good, the rate of ADR reporting is very low. Taking advantage of their better attitude, adding a bit more education regarding its importance and training, ADR reporting can be very well improved.

Published: November 2023

Background:
Since the first human case of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) caused by Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in 2012, several evidences base have shown one-humped camels as the main reservoir host, from which, infection transmit to humans.
Aim:
Serological investigation of MERS in dromedary camels in Wasit province (Iraq), detection severity of infection and association to some risk factors.
Methods:
A total of 455 dromedary camels were selected randomly from two main districts in Wasit province, Iraq during January and April (2023). Sera of all study camels were examined by ELISA, and titers of positive study animals were categorized according to its severity.
Results:
Serological testing yielded 37.58% positive animals for MERS infection. According to severity of positive ODs (titer), a total of 53.22%, 30.99%, 12.28%, and 3.51% were showed mild, moderate, strong and very strong infections, respectively. Regarding risk factors, significant elevation in seropositivity was seen in camels of  3-6 and  6 years old, and reduced in camels of  3 years old with elevated risk of MERS with increased age. Regionally, seropositivity and relative risk were increased in camels of Shaykh Sa’d when compared with Al-Numaniyah. Regarding sex, no significant variation was detected between seropositive females and males; however, male camels appeared at higher risk than females. Association between severity of MERS infection and risk factors revealed that there was a significant increase in mild and moderate infections in female camels of  6 years old; whereas, strong and very strong infections were seen in male camels of  3-6 years old. The mild and very strong infections were recorded in Shaykh Sa’d; while, moderate and strong infections in Al-Numaniyah.

Published: November 2023

Background:
Most dairy cattle breeds originate show an average generational inbreeding rate of 1%, which favors the occurrence of recessive defects associated with low reproductive performance.
Aim:
The objective of this study was to monitor recessive defects associated with low reproductive performance in dairy cattle.
Methods:
To monitor bulls carrying the Holstein Friesian haplotype (HH) 1, HH3 and HH4 haplotypes, we analyzed the records of 3,028 national and imported Holstein Friesian bulls, from the 2021 updated sires’ catalog published by “Evaluaciones Genéticas Lecheras”; and to determine the presence of these mentioned haplotypes, as well as Jersey haplotype (JH) 1 and complex vertebral malformation (CVM), were genotype with the GeneTitan® 2,500 SNP bovine chip, estimate their frequencies and evaluate their impact on the fertility of 100 Holstein Friesian cows and 70 Holstein Friesian-Jersey crosses belonging to an experimental dairy.
Results:
From a total of 1,468 (48.5%) bulls with genetic information from the sires’ catalog for HH1 and 1,471 (48.6%) for HH3 and HH4, we found 90 (6.1%) carriers for HH1, 60 (4.1%) for HH3 and 6 (0.4%) for HH4, respectively. By genotyping with the chip, we calculated the herd frequency of the mutant alleles and herd prevalence of carriers for HH1 and CVM as q=0.003 and 0.022; 0.59% and 4.3% (call rate >0.99), respectively. No mutant alleles were found for HH3, HH4 and JH1 in the analyzed population. We examined reproductive data by observing the presence of CVM and HH1 mutant alleles in repeat cows with an average of 4 services to achieve pregnancy.
Conclusion:
This study demonstrated the presence of recessive defects associated with low reproductive performance in the analyzed population, which can affect the health and the productivity of dairy cattle. Therefore, cows and bulls should be closely monitored through genetic testing to lower the incidence of recessive defects in dairy cattle.

Authors: Wardhana Tommy Andri , Hadna Agus Heruanto , Darwin Muhadjir , Hardi Amirullah Setya
Published: November 2023

Background: Franchising is a choice in developing a business network. One of the rampant franchise businesses in Indonesia is the development of retail store networks. Unfortunately, the presence of modern store-based retail stores is feared to threaten local businesses in the area such as the case in Kulon Progo. TOMIRA is seen as the best solution that mediates the interests of the private sector as retail owners, cooperatives, and local governments with the main goal of improving community welfare.
Aim: This paper aims to reveal TOMIRA policy problems that occur and explore innovations in management strategies needed in the form of passive franchises.
Method: Through a qualitative approach, this paper is able to present the results and policy problems of multi-actors, namely the government, private sector, cooperatives, and SMEs.
Findings: Passive franchising is seen as a form of mitigation of policy problems in TOMIRA because it is able to provide a delegation system for cooperatives and the merger process with a temporary credit fund facilitating cooperatives while having an impact on increasing profits for both cooperatives and SMEs. The success of passive franchise implementation depends on the role and involvement of local governments, retail policies themselves, human resources, and management.

Authors: Donkoh Sylvester , Ekuban Juliana Ivy Araba , Mensah Robert
Published: November 2023

The study focused on the relationship between social media usage and test anxiety. It investigated how specific uses of social media are associated with test anxiety. The study classified the uses of social media into four dimensions and explored the relationship between each of the four dimensions and test anxiety. The study also explored the test anxiety levels of students before, during, and after the test. A descriptive survey design was used for the study. This survey used a Test Anxiety and Social Networking Questionnaire to collect data from 106 College of Education students sampled using a multi-stage sampling procedure. The data collected from the respondents were analyzed using scatter plots, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Co-efficient, mean scores, and independent samples T-test. It was found that the respondents’ test anxiety was generally high and it progressively increased from before to after the test. There was a strong positive correlation between test anxiety during and after the test. This finding suggests that if the students are well prepared for a test and can answer questions to their satisfaction, their anxiety during the test will be low and this will, in turn, reduce their anxiety after the test. The study also found that excessive use of social media networking sites essentially increases test anxiety during and after the test. This implies that students can reduce test anxiety by using social media networking in moderation and focusing on their academic work.

Authors: Simbawa Fatoon , Assalahi Hussein
Published: November 2023

This study aimed to explore and document language teachers’ beliefs and perceptions of journal writing as a tool for improving their practice and enhancing their professional growth. The significance of reflective journals in improving professional practice has been widely reported in pre-service teacher education research. However, research on in-service English as a foreign language teachers’ perceptions of teaching journals has yielded competing views, and it remains an underexplored area. Prompted by this, a qualitative research design was adopted to document language instructors' perceptions of and experiences using teaching journals in their daily lives. Four female English language teachers from the English Language Institute (ELI) at a university in Saudi Arabia participated in a two-week journal writing intervention to reflect on and document their experiences. The findings drawn from the focus-group interviews revealed that the participants had both positive and negative experiences with teaching journals but, for the most part, found journal writing to be a valuable tool for reflecting on their teaching and enhancing their professional growth. Additionally, the participants reported some challenges encountered in integrating journal writing, including lack of time, miscommunication with superiors, lack of motivation, and heavy workload. The study also discusses recommendations for using journals for classroom practitioners and professional development researchers.

Performatividade translocutória
Authors: Santa Rosa Matos Marcos Paulo
Published: November 2023

O presente estudo revisa o conceito de performatividade desenvolvido nos estudos de Austin e Benveniste, e está dividido em três partes: a primeira é uma síntese crítica das contribuições desses autores, em que se enfatiza os pontos de concordância e discordância entre eles, e os aspectos problemáticos de seus respectivos pontos de vista; a segunda é uma releitura das conceituações, estruturações e problematizações apresentadas pelos autores, e uma proposta própria de compreensão da enunciação e da performance a partir das ideias de diálogo e modalização dialógica; a última corresponde à aplicação dessa proposta teórica ao ritual do sacramento do matrimônio. Na proposta teórica aqui apresentada, a enunciação é considerada como uma relação contratual entre os interlocutores, em que o enunciado figura como seu objeto, e a performatividade, isto é, a caracterização daquela como enunciação-ação, é compreendida como um tipo específico de modalização, denominada entrelocutiva, que se caracteriza pela aposição de um segundo objeto entre os interlocutores, imbricado e comunicado pelo primeiro: o entreposto. O discurso da cerimônia nupcial, por sua vez, é caracterizado pela prolocução, isto é, pela cisão do locutor/enunciador em um Eu-mandante (Eu-Outro) e um Eu-procurador (Eu-Mesmo), e pela translocução, isto é, pela justaposição do alocutário (Tu) e do delocutário (Ele) na posição de enunciatário.
Nietzsche y el caballo
Authors: Vignale Silvana
Published: November 2023

Hay un gesto performativo de Nietzsche que produce el tránsito de una comunidad humana a una comunidad posthumana: cuando rompe en llanto abrazado al cuello de un caballo, como pasaje en acto del rechazo a la machina animata cartesiana y la pérdida de soberanía sobre su persona. Ese gesto expresa un acontecimiento en la historia del pensamiento filosófico. Nietzsche funda una comunidad a contrapelo de la del rebaño y los iguales. El rechazo de la machina animata cartesiana es el rechazo de la reducción del ser humano a esa cámara oscura en la cual se ha alojado y encerrado: la consciencia. Nos aventuramos con Nietzsche a pensar la posibilidad de una comunidad no humana. Esto supone adentrase en la voz de un solitario que hace comunidad al decir «nosotros», un nosotros del cual él es el primero, que también es nombrado como un «fantasma del futuro», que anuncia una nueva relación tanto con los otros vivientes animales como consigo mismo.
Espacios táctiles y de deseo
Authors: Molina García Erika Natalia
Published: November 2023

El presente artículo introduce la traducción del francés al español del estudio sobre la espacialidad en Gilles Deleuze realizado en 2010 por el profesor Guillaume Sibertin-Blanc: «Cartografía y territorios». Se presenta, para ello, una lectura culturalista de la filosofía occidental del espacio, destacando dos de sus rasgos, la hiperfecundidad y el temporalismo, que retoma el que es considerado aquí como el primer esbozo de tematización de las cartografías tacto-libidinales de lo vivo, a saber: la filosofía aristotélica del alma. Así, se espera contextualizar y apreciar de mejor manera toda concepción de la espacialidad que rehabilite la hiperfecundidad del espacio y evacúe el temporalismo, permitiendo desactivar las concepciones tradicionales de subjetividad e identidad, tal como logra hacerlo la geofilosofía de Deleuze.

Homestay Digital Marketing in Tourism Villages in South Sulawesi (Case Study in 3 Featured Tourism Village)
Authors: Ohyver Daniel Adolf , Hanafi Hamsu , Muhtasom Ali
Published: November 2023

One type of accommodation that is widely found in tourist villages is homestay. Homestay is an accommodation that offers the experience of living together with locals in their homes. Homestay is a popular form of accommodation in tourist villages because it provides a different experience from other accommodations, as well as providing opportunities for tourists to interact with locals. Although homestays are in great demand by tourists, there are still some challenges in marketing them in tourist villages. One of the challenges faced by homestay marketers in tourist villages is the lack of knowledge on how to market effective homestays. In addition, homestays in tourist villages are also faced with competition with other accommodations such as hotels, villas, and other inns. The results showed that the homestay marketing strategy has not been effective enough in Tourism Villages in South Sulawesi, because homestay owners / managers and pokdarwis as homestay marketing coordinators in tourism villages have not had the right concept in their marketing. The role of information technology has not increased the effectiveness of homestay digital marketing in tourism villages in South Sulawesi due to limited digital literacy and resources.

In this research, we delve into an exhaustive ex- amination of the usage of machine learning (ML) models for the identification of cyber threats within Cloud-Based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). With the escalating dependence on cloud services across various industries, the urgency to develop effective and resilient IDS to mitigate burgeoning cyber risks is paramount. Our study makes a significant contribution to this imperative field by analyzing the efficacy of diverse ML models in detecting cyber-attacks within a cloud context. We scrutinized an array of ML models, namely Decision Trees (DT), Random Forest (RF), XGBoost, and Support Vector Machines (SVM), utilizing key performance parameters such as accuracy, recall, precision, F1-s, and confusion matrix to understand their practical application in real-world IDS scenarios. XGBoost stood out as the most proficient model, showcasing not only an impressive accuracy but also a balanced performance in terms of precision and recall. This highlights the considerable potential of ensemble and gradient boosting techniques in optimizing cloud- based IDS detection capabilities. Our findings underscore the significant role of machine learning in fostering more dependable, robust, and efficient IDS in the cloud, thus significantly aiding in securing our digital ecosystems.

Objective: The paper, specifically examines whether the recently formed Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) can potentially facilitate minimising the constraints to renewable energy goods exports at the regional level in Asia. Data, Methodology and Findings: Using the panel data from 11 RCEP members from 2006 to 2014, this study has applied the ‘meta frontier stochastic gravity frontier’ methodology and confirms that the establishment of RCEP has the potential to improve trade in renewable energy commodities within the RCEP region. Policy Implications: The policy implication is that when countries work together, it will lead to enormous benefits for national, regional, and worldwide prospects of a more sustainable energy future. Practical Policy Implications: In terms of practical policy implications, the developed RCEP member countries should actively engage in promoting R&D activities and protecting intellectual property rights concerning renewable energy production, which are essential for countries to integrate with the world market and to lift the export frontiers of both the developed and developing RCEP member countries to reach the unrestricted export of renewable energy technology.

With the increase in the world population, there are difficulties in reaching healthy and alternative food products. Today, the production of new generation nutritious and technologically developed foods that will change people’s eating habits and that have been created in a laboratory environment has gained momentum. These foods, which are seen as the foods of the future, also express the technological development and complete change of the foods consumed today. These foods are designed considering the changes in human life as a result of technology, and environmental sustainability. In order to adapt to these changes, it is important for people to be open to innovations and to experience them. Innovativeness is expressed as the positive approach that people show towards new goods, services, ideas, etc. For this reason, the food that people experience has an important place in their purchase decision. This study was designed to reveal the impact of individual innovativeness on experience and purchasing in the foods of the future. For this purpose, the data were obtained from Gastronomy and Culinary Arts students, who are the chefs of the future, through purposeful sampling. The obtained data were collected through 284 surveys applied to the participants. Within the scope of the study, the data were analyzed with explanatory factor analysis and multiple regression analysis. In this study, all sub-dimensions of individual innovativeness were considered as independent variables, whereas all sub-dimensions of experience and purchase intention were considered as dependent variables. Based on the findings, it was concluded that individual innovativeness had a significant effect on experience and purchase intention.
Efficacy and effect of entomopathogenic fungi (aspergillus oryzae) for control of ticks of major economic importance of cattle in Tanzania
Authors:   , Msangi Sylvia
Published: November 2023

Ticks are important ectoparasites that are responsible for severe economic losses. The use of chemical acaricides is the most common method used to control ticks in livestock. This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of Aspergillus oryzae in controlling ticks to enhance livestock productivity. The efficacy of A. oryzae at different concentrations was evaluated against different stages (larva and adult) of the life cycle of hard tick genera (Rhipicephalus, Boophilus and Amblyomma) using immersion test under laboratory conditions. Field trials were conducted in two cattle herds, which were purposively selected, and a spraying method was used to apply A. oryzae at a concentration of 1 x 106 conidial/mL on all tick infested areas. The results demonstrated a concentration-related increase in mortality in all tested tick genera. The mean mortality of larvae and engorged ticks was statistically significant at p˂0.05 and p˂0.001 respectively in all the tested genera. Egg production was found to decrease with increased A. oryzae concentration. Additionally, there was a statistically significant difference in egg production index and oviposition reduction (p=0.009) while there was no significant difference in egg hatching and product effectiveness at p=0.089 and p=0.004 respectively between the tested tick genera. Under field conditions, trials demonstrated a statistically significant tick reduction on all the treated cattle. This study concludes that A. oryzae has a good acaricidal activity against ticks and hence is one of the potential tick control methods for sustainable tick control schemes.

In this article we study the a coupled system of fractional pantograph differential equations (FPDEs). Using degree theory, we state necessary conditions for the existence of solutions to a coupled system of fractional partial differential equations with non-local boundary conditions. Also using tools from non-linear analysis, we establish some stability results. We illustrate our theoretical results with a test problem.
