representaciones sociales sobre el concepto de la familia en el alumnado de Educación Primaria
Authors: González Iglesias Óscar , Rivadulla López Juan Carlos
Published: December 2022

Este trabajo pretende averiguar las representaciones sociales sobre el concepto de familia que posee el alumnado de Educación Primaria. Participaron 510 alumnos Educación Primaria (282 de 1º curso y 228 de 6º) pertenecientes a seis centros públicos del noroeste de España. Para la recogida de datos se emplearon dos instrumentos; por un lado, una versión de la técnica de la familia kinética para que el alumnado dibujase a su familia haciendo algo, y por otro lado una entrevista personal para averiguar la manera en la que el alumnado interpreta la realidad, así como el concepto que tiene de familia. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de alumnado le otorga a la familia la función de sostén afectivo, pero los de 1º tienen más dificultades para indicar estructuras familiares distintas a las suyas. Finalmente, se proponen una serie de derivaciones didácticas que pueden servir de apoyo al profesorado en la introducción del concepto de familia, fomentando la reflexión y debate sobre la diversidad familiar.
Sağlık Sektöründe Çalışan 65 Farklı Meslek Grubunun ‘Temel İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği’ Konusunda Bilgi Düzeylerinin Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: TUNCAR Alpay , CANBAZ Hayri
Published: December 2022

Giriş Hem sağlık hizmet sunucusu hem de çalışma ortamı olan sağlık kurumlarında İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği yüksek riskleri nedeniyle önemlidir. Çalışmamızdaki amaç, sağlık sektöründe çalışanların ‘Temel İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği’ konusunda bilgilerini araştırmak ve bu konuda yapılan eğitimin bilgi birikimlerine ne kadar etkili olduğunu incelemektir.

Metod: 01.06.2020 ve 01.12.2020 tarihleri arasında devlet hastanesinde, öncesinde Temel İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği eğitimi almamış 65 farklı meslek grubundan oluşan sağlık sektörü çalışanlarına verilen Temel İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği eğitimi, güncel kaynaklarla hazırlanan 10 soru/100 puanlık eğitim öncesi ve sonrası test ile değerlendirilmiştir. 7 soru/70 puan başarılı kabul edilmiştir. Verilerin yüzdesel değişimleri tablolama programı ile istatistiksel formüller üzerinden hesaplanmıştır.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya 65 farklı meslek grubundan, 392’si erkek ve 315’i kadın, 203’i hemşire, 82’i temizlik personeli, 69’u ebe, 53’ü hekim olmak üzere toplam 707 çalışan katılmıştır. Ön-test sonuçlarında 70 puan altında kalanların sayısı 391, 0 alanların sayısı 77, 100 alanların sayısı 5’tir. Son test sonuçlarında puan ortalaması 80,19, başarısız olan çalışan sayısı 0 olup ortalama doğru cevap verilen soru sayısı 8,01, yanlış soru sayısı 1,95 ve boş sayısı 0,04 olarak saptanmıştır. Mesleklere göre en yüksek ortalama puan; ön-test sonuçlarında sağlık teknikerlerinde, son-test sonuçlarında ise hekimlerde olmuştur.

Sonuç: Sağlık sektörü çalışanlarının İSG bilgilerinin yetersiz olduğu ancak verilen eğitimlerle bu sorunun aşılacağı görülmüştür. Tüm çalışanların dahil edildiği eğitimler ile İSG konusundaki risklerin azaltılması, hem çalışanlara hem de hastane ortamında sağlık hizmetinin sürdürebilirliğine önemli katkılar sağlayacaktır.

Authors: Teomiro Ismael I. , Estebas-Vilaplana Eva
Published: December 2022

En este trabajo proponemos una aproximación contrastiva a la enseñanza de segundas lenguas (L2) que vaya de las competencias en la lengua materna (L1) a las estrategias lingüísticas para alcanzar dichas competencias en la L2. Definimos una metodología dividida en cuatro fases y que parte del conocimiento que los estudiantes tienen de su L1, proponiendo su uso como andamiaje en el proceso de enseñanza de las estrategias en la L2. Finalmente, mostramos cómo se puede utilizar esta metodología en la enseñanza de la entonación de predicados téticos y del uso de la pasiva perifrástica en inglés como L2.
Modelos de prestación de servicios sanitarios en el medio rural español
Authors: Fernández Domínguez Juan José
Published: December 2022

En la mejor tradición de los estudios dedicados a comparar diferentes opciones de ordenación jurídica, el presente análisis aspira a proporcionar los elementos vertebradores básicos de los distintos sistemas autonómicos de salud. Con la cota necesaria de abstracción jurídica, pero sin renunciar a trazos analíticos de singularidad destacada, revisitará el condicionante primario dado por las variantes relacionadas con la planificación y atenderá a los elementos taxonómicos fundamentales derivados del volumen de población y su nivel de dispersión, así como de las decisiones de organización sanitarias fundamentales dadas por los grados de descentralización territorial y la colaboración con el sector privado. Con este panorama se habrán no solo sentado las bases para construir los modelos de prestación sanitaria en España, sino que también se habrán unido a pie de página referencias de indudable interés para cualquier reflexión ulterior.
La regulación de la protección temporal de los desplazados por la guerra de Ucrania y su compatibilidad con otras formas de protección internacional en el contexto de una nueva política migratoria de la UE
Authors: Durán Ruiz Francisco Javier
Published: December 2022

Esta investigación analiza la Directiva de Protección Temporal y los motivos de su aplicación por primera vez por parte de la Unión Europea ante la grave crisis de personas desplazadas y/o refugiadas provocada por la guerra en Ucrania, frente a situaciones previas, como la guerra de Siria. Además de realizar un análisis crítico de la Directiva de Protección Temporal como instrumento jurídico y de las ventajas de su utilización ante esta situación concreta, pretende detenerse especialmente en el ámbito subjetivo de los beneficiarios de dicho instrumento y en su concreta y generosa aplicación por parte de España. Finalmente, lo compara con la Propuesta de Reglamento sobre situaciones de crisis y fuerza mayor en el ámbito de la migración y el asilo (COM/2020/613 final), que trata de aportar respuestas a estas situaciones, en el marco del Nuevo Pacto sobre Migración y Asilo de la UE de la Comisión, que aprobó ambas propuestas el 23 de septiembre de 2020. La hipótesis planteada parte de que, siendo adecuada la figura de la Directiva de protección temporal a la situación actual de los afectados por la guerra de Ucrania, esta discrimina y deja desprotegidos a ciertos colectivos, cuya protección queda al albur de la decisión de cada Estado miembro. La Propuesta de Reglamento sobre situaciones de crisis y fuerza mayor, de aprobarse, elimina este inconveniente y se inclina por conceder a los desplazados en estas situaciones temporales una protección similar a la protección subsidiaria. Finalizamos la investigación exponiendo, entre otras conclusiones, las escasas probabilidades de que el giro de la política migratoria europea que ha supuesto el caso de Ucrania tenga continuidad en el tiempo, ya que las propuestas del Nuevo Pacto sobre Migración y Asilo se enfrentan a importantes obstáculos en el contexto político actual de la UE, especialmente en los aspectos que requieren solidaridad entre los Estados miembros, como el caso de las futuras y previsibles crisis migratorias.
Effects of photo biomodulation on peri-implantitis
Authors: Sahu Natasha , Jalaluddin Mohammad , Kar Soubhagya Ranjan , Swain Subham Kumar , Brahma Priyanka , Nanda Jagruti
Published: December 2022

Periodontitis is a prevalent infectious disease in which the accumulation of bacterial plaque leads to an inflammatory reaction and destruction of supporting tissues around the teeth. The optimal goal in periodontal treatment is to eliminate the infection and to recreate the lost structures of cementum, periodontal ligament (PDL), and the alveolar bone with the reestablishment of their functions. Achieving this regenerative aim, however, remains a major challenge for periodontists. In order to increase the predictability and the efficacy of regenerative periodontal therapies, treatment modalities have moved from the conventional guided tissue treatments to novel tissue engineering and stem cell–based treatments. This is achieved either by transplantation of cells from outside sources to the periodontal defects or by enhancing the recruitment of endogenous host cells present in the area, known as cell homing methods. Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy is a term used for exposure of cells/ tissues to low-level laser light or light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which is absorbed by specific photoreceptors in cells and may cause alteration at a molecular level inside cells without any heat generation leading to biological changes in cell metabolism and function.
Effect of method and concentration of titanium dioxide addition on anti-biofilm ability in extraoral maxillofacial prosthetic fungus
Authors: Widodo Teguh Tri , Siswomiharjo Widowati , Sunarintyas Siti , Yulianto Dedy Kusuma
Published: December 2022

Background: One of the efforts to prevent adhesion and biofilm colonization on the material surface is to improve its properties by using Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles. TiO₂ nanoparticles have antimicrobial properties, especially against the fungus Candida albicans as it has photocatalytic properties that can inhibit the growth of the fungal colonies. The present study aimed to determine the effect of applying TiO₂ to polyurethane plates on the growth of Candida albicans fungal biofilms.Methods: This study applied a laboratory experimental design. The subjects were divided into two groups which included the treatment and control groups. In the treatment group, there were two treatments consisting of the addition of TiO₂ filler (1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%) and the material surface coating group with TiO₂  (1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%). Candida albicans was cultured and grown to form biofilms on polyurethane plates in each group.Results: The results of the statistical analysis obtained through Welch's One Way Anova showed that there was a significant difference in the number of Candida albicans colonies between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05). Treatment with 4% TiO₂ surface coating showed the lowest number of Candida albicans colonies.Conclusions: Coating the surface of the material with TiO₂ on a polyurethane plate was able to inhibit the formation of Candida albicans biofilms.

Tendencias recientes en la distribución del ingreso en Venezuela: un análisis a través de los microdatos de encuestas de hogares
Authors: Zambrano Omar , Hernández Hugo , Granado Albani , Quiroz Gabriel , Gómez José Gregorio , Benzecry Ricardo
Published: December 2022

El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la relación entre la desigualdad y el crecimiento en Venezuela, en particular, si el crecimiento económico beneficia a los más pobres de la población o, por el contrario, si expande los niveles de bienestar del segmento más rico. Esto es relevante para Venezuela, ya que 2021 fue el primer año en que se esperaba una mejora en la actividad económica después de una profunda contracción del PIB y una crisis humanitaria. Sin embargo, hay poca evidencia empírica sobre los efectos distributivos de la actual dinámica económica venezolana, que ha sido marcada por un proceso de dolarización transaccional y desigualdades profundas. El estudio utiliza datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Condiciones de Vida (ENCOVI) para estimar la tasa de crecimiento del ingreso per cápita promedio en dólares corrientes entre 2020 y 2021, y examinar si este crecimiento ha beneficiado de manera más acentuada a unos grupos de la población en comparación con otros. Los resultados muestran que el crecimiento económico reciente en Venezuela ha beneficiado más a los hogares que tienen un mayor nivel de ingreso y a los que tienen un jefe del hogar con un mayor nivel educativo, mientras que los hogares con jefes del hogar sin educación y los hogares más pobres han experimentado un crecimiento menor de sus ingresos. Además, se encuentra que el crecimiento económico ha sido menos distributivo en comparación con el período anterior a la crisis.
Analysis of the Textile and Clothing Industry Global Value Chains: Summary
Authors: Fernandez-Stark Karina , Bamber Penny , Couto Vivian
Published: December 2022

The textile and apparel industry is a highly globalized, multi-trillion-dollar sector. Today, production networks are dominated by low-cost Asian countries with very large labor-pools, which has made it increasingly difficult for other producers around the world to compete, including those in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). While the region has participated in the industry, there are currently no LAC countries amongst the leading ten exporters. The COVID-19 pandemic, together with rising geopolitical tensions between the US and China, however, has disrupted this well-established business model over the past two to three years. This creates the most significant opportunity of the past decade to reconfigure the geography of the supply chain; as a small, but long-term supplier, with proximity to the worlds largest single market, Central America is well-positioned to benefit from these changes. Nonetheless, the region needs to upgrade various aspects of their GVC participation in order to become a serious contender in the reconfiguration of the industry. Key policies should focus on developing human capital through industry-specific training initiatives; intensifying investment attraction efforts; and aggressively investing in both hard and soft infrastructure to reduce barriers to trade and enhance lead time responsiveness.
Can Information on School Attributes and Placement Probabilities Direct Search and Choice? Evidence from Choice Platforms in Ecuador and Peru
Authors: Arteaga Felipe , Elacqua Gregory , Krussig Thomas , Méndez Carolina , Neilson Christopher
Published: December 2022

This paper evaluates how new information influences families applica- tions and assignment outcomes in elementary school choice settings. Specifi- cally, using a multi-country RCT based in Tacna, Peru and Manta, Ecuador, we examine the effect of providing personalized information on schooling alternatives and placement risk. We find that applicants who received feed- back on placement risk and a suggestion of new schools add more schools to their applications and were more likely to include recommended schools than other alternatives available. Interestingly, the project implemented in Manta, Ecuador had only marginal effects for all outcomes. The main differ- ence across implementations was the inclusion of outreach and information provision through an additional WhatsApp “warning” in Peru, which was not realized in Ecuador. A lower school density seems to have also been a contributing factor to the results observed in the Ecuadorian context.
Gestión local y mejora educativa: gestión docente más allá del aula en Colombia
Authors: Alcaíno Manuel , Bautista Marcela , Jaimovich Analia , Méndez Carolina , Ortiz Guerrero Marcela
Published: December 2022

En Colombia, el nivel nacional Ministerio de Educación tiene un alto grado de atribuciones sobre la selección y el ingreso de docentes y directivos docentes que laboran en las escuelas a lo largo del país. Las Secretarías de Educación Certificadas cumplen el rol de administrador de esta planta docente y están sujetas a la asignación que se realice según la población escolar atendida. En general, esta asignación es insuficiente para consolidar los equipos docentes que requieren las escuelas, no solo para desarrollar las actividades de aula sino también para llevar a cabo otros procesos que inciden en una adecuada gestión educativa, como la orientación a estudiantes y la coordinación de las actividades escolares. El presente estudio resalta el rol de la Secretaría de Educación de Boyacá para impulsar una práctica de conversión de cargos docentes, que le permite potenciar sus equipos de trabajo en las escuelas en un contexto de constante disminución de matrícula. También se presentan los desafíos y oportunidades de mejora que tienen las políticas docentes en Colombia para garantizar mayores niveles de equidad y calidad en su sistema educativo.
Is Kant's Revolution in Philosophy a Copernican Turn?
Authors: Kalinin Igor
Published: December 2022

There is a widespread misunderstanding in Kant scholarship, partly due to Kant himself, as to his comparison of transcendental philosophy with Copernican revolution in its standard sense as a shift of scientific paradigms. However, there is a reason to think, that this analogy is not correct: what corresponds to it in his system of transcendental philosophy, makes a necessary and basic, but nevertheless a detail of all system, and that which can truly characterize a detail, will be incorrect in relation to the whole. The fundamental in modern Kant scholarship Allison's book«Kant’s TranscendentalIdealism» is chosen as an example of such incorrect characteristic. In my paper I prove, that acceptance of analogy of transcendental philosophy with Copernican revolution leads us to erroneous representation of the former as a kind of anthropocentrism in its phenomenalistic or subjective-idealistic form. Instead of understanding Kant’s revolution as a replacement of one kind of monismby another to what its comparison with Copernican revolution forces, I propose to understand it as a replacement of different kinds of monism, coexisted in Kant’s days in the form of «war of schools», by dualism.
Kant's Metaphor "Copernican turn" : its Meaning and Significance
Authors: Soboleva Maja
Published: December 2022

The article analyzes the metaphor “Copernican revolution,” used by Kant to highlight the core idea of his philosophy. The author argues that Kant uses the analogies with mathematics and natural science for establishing criteria of scientific character of knowledge. These criteria include the hypothetic-deductive or a priorimethod of thinking, which determines the apodictic, i.e. necessary and objective, character of the basic laws of nature, as well as the verification of laws a priorithrough experiments.The author focuses on Kant’s idea of the possibility of scientific metaphysics based on these criteria. She claims that the structure of scientific metaphysics and the epistemological status of its statements depend on what kind of objects it deals with: with phenomena given to us by sensuality, with only conceivable “things in themselves” or with supersensitive “objects of an idea.” In the last part, the author interprets the meaning of the metaphor “Copernican turn” as the upgrading of logic, the idea of “transcendental idealism” and discusses the possibility of using the metaphor “Ptolemaic system” to characterize the practical philosophy of Kant.
Review of the 7th International Workshop "Transcendental Turn in Contemporary Philosophy"
Authors: Kozhokaru Natalia
Published: December 2022

From April 21 to April 23, 2022, the 7th annual International Scientific Conference “The Transcendental Turn in Contemporary Philosophy: Epistemology, Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence” was held in Moscow. Traditionally, transcendental workshops present three main lines of transcendentalism, which go back to I. Kant's own transcendental idealism, neo-Kantianism, and phenomenology. In 2022, the Kantian and neo-Kantian days of the seminar were associated with the development of the ideas of cognitive science, transcendental epistemology, artificial intelligence and transcendental philosophy of science, and as part of the phenomenological day, the issue of the role of reflection in the structure of cognitive activity was discussed in detail.
Kant’s Copernican Analogy: Beyond the Non-Specific Reading (Translated by A.A. Polyakov)
Authors: Schulting Dennis
Published: December 2022

References to Kant’s so-called Copernicanism or Copernican turn are often put in very general terms. It is commonly thought that Kant makes the Copernican analogy solely in order to point out the fact as such of a paradigm shift in philosophy. This is too historical an interpretation of the analogy. It leaves unexplained both Kant’s and Copernicus’ reasons for advancing their respective hypotheses, which brought about major changes in the conceptual schemes of philosophy and astronomy. In this article, I consider whether (1) Kant actually speaks of an analogy with Copernicus here and (2) he indeed herewith refers to the Copernican revolution, more in particular the postulation of the heliocentric universe. In this context, I explain that there is a greater systematic relation between Kant and Copernicus than heretofore believed, which contrary to received understanding makes Kant’s analogy in fact particularly apt.
Prosthodontic Management of Patients with Flabby Ridges Using Different Impression Techniques: A Case Series
Authors: Gupta Jyoti , Paul Vishal , Agarwal Abhinav , Lahori Manesh
Published: December 2022

Fabrication of complete dentures in clinically compromised cases such as “flabby ridge” is a challenging task for the dentist.A flabby ridge is a superficial area of mobile soft tissue which develops when hyperplastic soft tissue replaces the alveolarbone. During impression making using the conventional impression technique force is exerted resulting in distortion ofthe mobile tissue and thus leading to loss of retention, stability, and support of the denture. To overcome these difficultiesmany modified impression techniques have been proposed that help to record the fibrous tissues in undistorted form. Thisarticle presents three case reports for prosthodontic management of patients with flabby ridges using different impressiontechniques.

CBCT Imaging of a Rare Case of Radix Entomolaris in Mandibular Second Molar
Authors: Arora Preeti Chawla , Arora M. Aman , Kaur Jasmeet
Published: December 2022

The presence of an additional supernumerary distolingual root in the mandibular molar is termed Radix Entomolaris (RE). It is common in the mandibular first molar, but its occurrence in the mandibular second molar is scarcely reported in the literature. Two-dimensional imaging can diagnose anatomical root canal variations when taken with different horizontal angulations. With the recent innovations in three-dimensional diagnostic imaging, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) can aid in unfolding the complexities of the root canal system. Accurate diagnosis by CBCT leads to the success of endodontic treatment. A rare case of radix entomolaris in the mandibular second molar in an Indian female is reported here with three of its CBCT findings. Imaging in all three dimensions, oblique sections and volume rendering by CBCT proved to be of additional help to understand the complex anatomy and root canal morphology of the tooth.

Walter Benjamin’s Critique of Violence
Authors: McBride James
Published: December 2022

This article addresses the history of police violence and extra-legal killings of Black people and argues that social contract theory plays an ideological role to legitimate the coercive power of the state over the African-American community. The article first looks at the alarming numbers of Black Americans killed in the United States over the past few decades and compares police violence to the extra-legal lynchings of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Using Walter Benjamin’s Critique of Violence, his classic 1921 essay, the article then describes the obfuscation of an underlying truth: that, far from being a neutral arbiter between its citizens, the state is the primary inscription of violence in the body politic. The police are the face of that state, both in its law-making violence (die rechtsetzende Gewalt) and law-preserving violence (die rechtserhaltende Gewalt). In contrast to the mythology of a social contract in which all members are treated equally before the law, the state targets African-Americans to legitimate its monopoly on violence, thereby unmasking the social contract as a racial contract, which has excluded Black people from the country’s very inception. The power of the state rests in part on the psychology of police officers who see themselves as its very embodiment and believe that any resistance to their authority is both a personal and symbolic challenge to their monopoly on violence. Yet, the article dissents from the view of many who believe that the country may transcend its history of institutional racism and violence and restore the promise of the social contract. The article concludes that, despite the hopes of modern liberalism, Benjamin’s theory leads to the conclusion that there is little possibility for either the redemption of the social contract or the rehabilitation of the state.
Orwell, Jones and the New York Times:
Authors: Barleben Dale
Published: December 2022

The conversations among Orwell’s Nineteen Eight-Four, the US Supreme Court decision in United States v. Jones, and the New York Times compellingly illustrate the ways “law feeds and is fed by the world around it,” as Judge Guido Calabresi once put it. A suspected drug dealer, Antoine Jones was convicted and sentenced to life in prison at trial, but the case was overturned on appeal. The U.S. Supreme Court had to decide whether using a GPS tracking unit on the suspect’s vehicle violated Jones’ constitutional rights. Both lawyers and judges spoke often about whether this surveillance technique brought the U.S. closer to a state akin to the one in Nineteen Eight-Four. The New York Times covered this story, adding media sensationalism to the events. This article explores the legal development of privacy and surveillance at a specific historical moment, as it relates to both Orwell’s text, and the media at the nexus of privacy. One of the main issues was whether a U.S. citizen might reasonably expect a GPS tracking unit to trace their every movement, and exactly where that reasonable expectation of privacy ends. We see that technology has far outstripped even what Orwell envisioned in his dystopian masterpiece, and that only conscious resistance and legal protection can reverse what has often and ironically become a “voluntary” surrendering of the right to privacy.
Cross/Borders:
Authors: Moran Matthew
Published: December 2022

The US/Mexican border continues to be an important topic of public debate for Americans. The ways journalists frame stories about Latino immigration at the southwest border can have devasting consequences for Latino communities living and residing in the United States. Poets have been quick to respond to misleading, and often pervasive, representations. In previous essays, I have introduced a figure of diverse social and cultural background who testifies against dominant media narratives in the public sphere. I call this figure the transcultural counterwitnesss. This essay turns to Anthony Cody’s Borderline Apocrypha to investigate how his experimental collection offers new consideration of Latino-American identity through its engagement with the longstanding stereotypes in the American public sphere. By observing the transcultural impulses of Cody’s work, this essay explores the ways Borderland Apocrypha experiments with poetic form and voice to provide more insightful considerations of American identity politics and examines how his collection engages with, and opposes, the longstanding stereotypes of Latino communities. A greater transcultural awareness illustrates the ways past violence influences and emerges with contemporary realities and invites readers to contemplate Latino identity in contemporary American culture.

Authors: Titiek Murniati Cecilia , Hartono Heny , Cahyo Nugroho Agus
Published: December 2022

University lecturers are one among many people who have been affected by the pandemic. Lecturers were forced to use a learning management system, grapple with video conferencing software, and cope with various unpredictable technical issues. In short, external forces seem to pressure lecturers to refine their digital skills and use e-learning as the only way to deliver the materials whenever they were unable to meet face-to-face with students. This study investigates what factors determined lecturers’ intention to use e-learning in their classes. The results of this study suggest that technology literacy and attitude have positive correlations with lecturers’ intention to use e-learning.

The Dilemma of Beauty in the Social Media Era
Authors: Nurul Suhada Djilzaran , Demartoto Argyo , Sunesti Yuyun
Published: December 2022

This study aims to analyze the dilemmas of Indonesian society, especially women, in understanding beauty, amidst the constructions of what is deemed beautiful by Instagram. This study included 10 female informants aged 23 to 26 years, with different ethnic backgrounds, including ethnic Melayu, Batak, Minang, Banten, Betawi, Sundanese, Javanese, Papuan, Arabic and Chinese. All these ethnic groups are present and exist in the midst of Indonesian society, actively using Instagram and following Instagram influencers. This study uses the hyperreality theory of Jean-Paul Baudrillard, which includes simulacra, consumption and simulation. The results of this study show that Instagram creates a construction of which physical characteristics are beautiful through content uploaded by influencers. Secondly, the impact of this construction is such that followers of these influencers believe that their physical characteristics are not attractive and ultimately want to be like the influencers they see and follow on Instagram. Lastly, Instagram is a performative media such that the physical characteristics that are shown on the platform have often gone through alterations involving make-up, filters, and editing processes. Indonesian society, as a multicultural society, is faced with a dilemma when it comes to upholding values of beauty when the media highlights ‘beautiful’ physical characteristics that do not represent any ethnicity in Indonesia.

Published: December 2022

Despite having carried out many programs and activities, the quality of education in Indonesia has not significantly improved. This is because the planning has not been based on data in accordance with the problems at hand. In Merdeka Belajar Episode 19, the “Rapor Pendidikan” displays data on the quality of education obtained from various national assessments or surveys. As a report on school facilities and services, the Rapor Pendidikan is expected to be a reference for identifying, reflecting, and improving the quality of Indonesian education as a whole. However, some are unfamiliar as this is a relatively new policy. Further, the online system of Rapor Pendidikan is still being developed. Therefore, in this work, a systematic review was carried out on relevant databases about the Rapor Pendidikan from Kurikulum Merdeka’s perspective. There is strong evidence that Rapor Pendidikan provides trusted databases that can become national data references. This study has the potential to be a significant resource for enhancing the commitment and collaboration of diverse stakeholders in putting policies for better quality education into action.

Academic Resilience of Students Who are Bullied
Authors: Argo Widiharto Chr. , Kusdaryani Wiwik , Fitriana Siti , Prasetyo Agung
Published: December 2022

Bullying in schools is a long-standing phenomenon throughout the world. This study aimed to understand the factors that cause a student to be bullied, the level of academic performance of students being bullied, and whether the level of academic performance relates to being bullied. Understanding the factors that lead to bullying can help in handling bullying cases in elementary schools. This study used correlational quantitative research methods to determine the relationship between variables and used descriptive analysis to determine the factors that result in bullying. Data were collected using a bullying behaviour questionnaire and an academic achievement scale. The research population was elementary school students in Grades 4 and 5 in five sub-districts of Semarang City who were selected through an accidental sampling technique. The leading reasons for bullying from the perspective of non-bullying victims were undesirable behaviours (31.58%), students who are usually bullied (12.28%), and students who have a smaller body (10.53%). The intensity of being a victim of bullying does not affect the level of student academic performance. Although certain students are often victims of bullying, these students still have high academic performace.

Published: December 2022

Metacognition Smart Learning (MSLearning) was designed to facilitate teachers and students during the pandemic to conduct a blended learning process where both synchronous and asynchronous learning can be done. The MSLearning platform focuses on metacognition which plays an important role in all learning activities as it helps students to evaluate errors and issues in their problem-solving skills. The objectives of the study were to describe the development of the MSLearning platform and to investigate students’ perceptions of MSLearning. A descriptive qualitative method was employed. A questionnaire about individual perception was distributed to 50 students in 10 junior high schools in Semarang city. The learning process of the MSLearning platform involved 7 phases, from opening to closing the lesson, including synchronous and asynchronous steps. Meanwhile, the findings of the students’ perception questionnaire showed that the MSLearning platform contents are interesting (72%), the platform makes it easy to understand the existing materials (45%), the completeness of the types of learning using MSLearning platform such as presentation, quiz, video, etc (87%), it can be done independently (91%), and the MSLearning platform can help to build new insights and techniques linked to learning objectives (44%). It can be concluded that the MSLearning platform was suitable for seventh-grade junior high school students in Semarang city. The findings othe f the present study will be proceeded by the researchers to revise MSLearning platform in terms of the content and to strengthen students’ metacognition.

Naming Traditional Javanese Food Based on The Experience of The Sense of Motion
Authors: . Sunarya , Kurniati Werdiningsih Yuli , . Alfiah
Published: December 2022

Various Javanese foods have the same ingredients and taste, but they vary in name based on the region it is made in. The difference is caused by people’s sensual expressions based on the traditional food they have. The senses discussed in this paper are limited to the sense of motion. This paper uses a qualitative method to explain and describe various data points. The analysis techniques used were direct (agih) and indirect (padan). The direct technique is an analysis of language elements, in this case, related to the formation of words that are used as food names; while the indirect technique is an analytical technique that connects elements of language with elements outside of language, in this case, related to the iconic depiction of the human senses. The results showed that the name of the foods was motivated by the description of the sense of motion, such as cucur, sawut, cenil, ongol-ongol, gablok, jadah, and oblok-oblok.

Physics is widely implemented in Maluku’s regional dances. One of these dances is the north Maluku gumatere dance. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the concept of physical matter and gumatere dance. In the dance, there are various physical concepts, namely, momentum, impulse, GLB, sound, and elasticity. The research method used was a literature review with descriptive qualitative analysis. The data obtained were then analyzed, verified, reduced, constructed to scientific knowledge and interpreted to the concepts of physics. The results showed that the Saureka-reka dance can be used as a special physics learning resource in class X and XI SMA /MA. Regional dances can be implemented into physics lessons so that students can understand the concepts of physics well.
Keywords: gumatere dance, ethnophysical, source of physics learning.
The Importance of Organisational Skills to Manage Women's Cooperatives
Authors: Mutiarni Rita
Published: December 2022

As one of the economic pillars of Indonesia, cooperatives are expected to be able to take on more roles to support the economy of Indonesia. However, in reality, the development of cooperatives in Indonesia is still lagging compared to other financial institutions. It is presumably because the management still follows a simple structure by relying on the ability of human resources, namely cooperative management. This study aimed to determine human capital and spiritual capital’s effect on women’s cooperatives’ performance in the Jombang district. This study used a quantitative approach. The sample used was 62 women’s cooperatives. The data was collected through questionnaires and various documents about women’s cooperatives in the Jombang district. The analytical tool used to test the hypothesis uses Warp Partial Least Square (Warp PLS) version 7.0. The results showed that there exists a direct influence between human and spiritual capital on the performance of women’s cooperatives in Jombang. Human capital has also been shown to influence the implementation of spiritual capital. Therefore, spiritual capital can also mediate the role of human capital in the performance of cooperatives in Jombang. The results of this study serve as a reference for stakeholders of women’s cooperatives in Jombang to provide guidance and training to managers of women’s cooperatives in Jombang, especially in the form of improving practical skills for daily cooperative management.

Mathematical literacy is one of the eminent skills in the learning process in the 21st century. However, the mathematical skills of Junior High School students in Indonesia need some improvement. This study aims to develop a test of mathematical literacy based on the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and Project-based Learning (PjBL). The study involved research and development using the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation model (ADDIE). The results showed that the developed mathematical literacy test based on STEM-PjBL is valid and practical to be implemented by the expert validator. Moreover, the construct validity through implementation in the classroom obtained the result that the instrument is valid and reliable. This instrument is expected to be disseminated to the wider population to accustom the students to the problem embedded in project-based learning and STEM activities.

Published: December 2022

This study aims to determine the relationship between survival strategies, legal protection, and demographic factors (business tenure, age, education level, marital status, and types of capital) with the performance of MSMEs in Central Java. The sampling method used was simple random sampling with a sample size of 153 MSMEs actors. The analysis used was multiple linear using SPSS 24.00. The results of this study show that the independent variable of Survival Strategy (X1) has a significant effect and contributed to forming resilience (Y1) of 75.8%. Secondly, the independent variable of legal protection (X2) has no significant effect in forming resilience (Y1); the contribution is only -2.0%, and the existence of legal protection decreases resilience by 2%. Thirdly, the relative contribution of the survival strategy (X1) independent variable in shaping resilience (Y1) is 102.7%. Fourthly, the relative contribution of the legal protection independent variable (X2) in shaping resilience (Y1) is -2.7%. Lastly, Diploma/Bachelor’s degrees have higher resilience than High School/Vocational School degrees, in which a bachelor’s degree contributes 59.32% to resilience. The study also shows that there is no resilience difference in each group of business status, age, business tenure, and types of capital.
