Published: August 2024

SMK Negeri 1 Rambah selama ini mempunyai sistem absensi otomatis yaitu menggunakan finger print, dimana guru-guru melakukan pengisian absensi pada setiap harinya dengan sebuah perangkat teknologi yang memanfaatkan sidik jari sebagai media identifikasi penggunanya. Dimasa pandemi Covid-19 pada saat ini rasanya kurang efektif untuk menggunakan mesin absensi finger print dikarenakan alat finger print yang disentuh oleh banyak orang dapat menyebabkan virus corona menempel pada alat tersebut dan menyebar ke lingkungan sekolah. Namun, absensi yang tidak dapat dilakukan secara langsung dapat digantikan dengan sistem absensi online. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan rancangan dan pengembangan baru berupa aplikasi absensi guru menggunakan GPS (Global Positioning System) berbasis web dengan responsive android.  Dengan adanya aplikasi ini dapat memutuskan rantai penyebaran COVID-19. Maka dapat diambil kesimpulan berdasarkan hasil pengujian menggunakan UAT (User Accept Testing) bahwa aplikasi absensi dapat di terima dan diterapkan pada SMK Negeri 1 Rambah.

The objective of this study was to assess the essential oil yields and chemical composition of the root of two varieties of Acorus calamus, namely the local and Jabalpur varieties. Gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis identified β-Asarone as the major chemical constituent. Notable findings revealed that fresh samples exhibited higher essential oil yield and β-Asarone content compared to various drying methods. Specifically, powdering the Jabalpur material resulted in a significant percentage (2.0%) of essential oils, with negligible variations observed in β-Asarone content. Additionally, besides GC, a straightforward and effective reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed for β-Asarone analysis from A. calamus root extracts in different solvents. Interestingly, the spent material also contained a considerable amount of β-Asarone. Among the different solvent extractions, ethyl acetate extracts exhibited the highest percentage (62%) of β-Asarone, while the lowest amount was recorded in methanol extract (37.47%). Keywords: Acorus calamus, Essential oil, GC, HPLC, β-Asarone.

Authors:   CSIR-Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, Verma Ravi Kant , Kumar Vipin , Verma Ravi Prakash , Singh Ved Ram , Srivastava Ramesh Kumar
Published: August 2024

Patchouli, botanically known as Pogostemon cablin Benth., belongs to the family Lamiaceae and is renowned for its significant medicinal and aromatic attributes. The primary purpose of its cultivation is to obtain its valuable essential oil, which is obtained by distillation of leaves and tender herbs. Patchouli and its essential oil have various medicinal and aromatic properties, which are used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, aromatherapy, food flavor, toiletries, perfumery and agarbatti production. Patchouli essential oil is a highly demandable produce in national and international markets, but the production of its oil is very low compared to global demand and the demand is increasing every year. Hence, to fulfill the global demand it is necessary to increase production by adopting improved cultivation practices and primary processing. The objective of this study is to collect secondary data on improved cultivation practices, varieties, production, uses, properties, export and import in India and global market aspects of patchouli. As more than 80% of patchouli oil is imported from other countries to fulfill our demand, it is an urgent need to popularize the cultivation and processing of patchouli among the farmers as an import substitution of this oil to save the Indian currency and supply the quality oil to the desired industries. Keywords: Patchouli, Essential oil, Cultivation, Enhancement production, Import substitution.

A Study of LGBTQ+ Empowerment and Normative Dialogue in Chinese Social Media Platforms
Authors: Xu Yuan
Published: August 2024

This study focuses on the empowerment and normative dialogue of LGBTQ+ groups in Chinese social media platforms, and explores its context and mechanism in the new media environment. With the popularity of social media, the LGBTQ+ community has transformed from passive receivers of information to integrated producers and participants of information, using this platform to achieve self-expression, community building, and participation in the discussion of social issues. However, there are also a number of norms in place on social media platforms that limit self-identification and expression within the LGBTQ+ community. Taking young female sexual minorities in China as an example, this study found that there are internal and external contradictions in the empowerment experiences of LGBTQ+ groups on social media. On the one hand, they achieve self-empowerment by obtaining information, expressing themselves and building communities through social media. On the other hand, they are bound by gay norms and hierarchies within the community. In response to this situation, the LGBTQ+ community has adopted a variety of resistance strategies, including rejecting identity labels, self-mockery and other ways to resist the restrictions of norms. However, these strategies also have some limitations and cannot completely escape the normative framework. Finally, this study proposes to continue gender practices in daily life and deliberately misquote norms in order to extend the boundaries of norms and provide more possibilities for self-actualization for LGBTQ+ communities.

The Impact of ChatGPT on the Transformation of Traditional Education from the Perspective of Constructivism
Authors: Han Yumo
Published: August 2024

Technological products with artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, have revolutionized today’s education and spurred many debates on how to modify traditional teaching methods to a more modern approach. Since technology-facilitated learning has gained popularity recently, it is worthwhile to investigate the effects of AI products – particularly ChatGPT – on educators and learners as well as a number of instructional issues. This paper, which adopts a constructivist viewpoint, begins by elaborating on the instructional activities that involve both teachers and students. It then addresses the effects on each group of educators from two angles: the ways in which ChatGPT is influencing traditional education and the ways in which it is accelerating its reform. This study concludes that ChatGPT can help students learn and compensate for the shortcomings in educators’ instruction. However, there are also problems with ChatGPT’s instructional activities, such as a loss in students’ initiative in learning and a danger to teachers’ authority. This study offers a reference for future research on the use of constructivism and the transition from dualism to trialism in education and teaching.

The Distinction between Law and Social Norm and the Deprivation of Freedom: Satre’s Materialist Approach
Authors: Yang Lefei
Published: August 2024

This article is dedicated to examining the value of social norms by first distinct the social norms using Satre’s understanding of Serial Praxis and Group Praxis and then discussing how the social norm prevents the freedom of human beings. In Satre’s more materialist approach, human freedom is achieved only if the basic survival needs of human beings are met. At the same time, the law enables the survival of a specific group by setting limitations on certain behaviors that are harmful to group benefits; the social norm is formed to enable the dominant class’s freedom, causing inequality. Sartre, being an existentialist philosopher, demonstrates a distinct inclination towards materialism in his examination of human nature and the concept of freedom. By examining the perspective of the materialist character, people can better understand the relationship between human freedom, law, and social norms. This article analyses various theories of group behaviour and draws initial conclusions about this dilemma based on Sartre's existentialist and materialist perspectives. The stark juxtaposition between law and social norms underscores the imperative for individuals to adhere to the law while simultaneously advocating for the eradication of social norm.

Authors: Kwakye Chris Adomako-
Published: August 2024

Ghana's Petroleum Revenue Management Act (PRMA) created two funds under the Act. The first comprises the Petroleum Holding Fund, the Ghana Petroleum Funds made up of the Ghana Stabilisation Fund and the Ghana Heritage Fund, referred to as Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs), and the Annual Budget Funding Amount (ABFA), which is subject to the accountability regime under the PRMA. The second, consist of the Consolidated Fund and the Contingency Fund, exists outside the PRMA; nevertheless, these funds receive a portion of Ghana’s oil revenue. The PRMA has established an accountability regime to ensure effective oil revenue management by giving the Public Interest Accountability Committee (PIAC) and the Auditor-General the mandate to examine oil revenue management. Be that as it may, the second set of funds is not subject to the accountability regime existing under the PRMA. The article sees the practice as a disturbing trend and argues that the PRMA must be amended to allow the institutions to evaluate oil revenue management for accountability to prevail.

Para el desarrollo del presente artículo se realizó una investigación descriptiva con un enfoque mixto cuantitativo - cualitativo de corte transversal. De una población de 40 estudiantes, se tomó una muestra intencional de 12 alumnos, teniendo en cuenta los siguientes criterios de inclusión, edades comprendidas entre 6 a 8 años, que cursaran 2°, 3° y 4° de Educación General Básica y de ambos sexos. Con el objetivo de evaluar el equilibrio en estudiantes de educación básica de la Unidad Educativa Francesco Riccati, ubicada en la ciudad de Quito, parroquia Comité del Pueblo. Para el análisis e interpretación de los resultados se utilizaron métodos teóricos, empíricos y matemáticos estadísticos usando la estadística descriptiva para la caracterización de la muestra. La evaluación del equilibrio se realizó mediante los Test de Flamenco y la Barra de equilibrio. El test de equilibrio estático reveló que la mayoría de los estudiantes tuvieron dificultades para mantener el equilibrio en su pie derecho e izquierdo, requiriendo de 4 a 9 intentos para lograrlo. Por otro lado, el test de equilibrio dinámico mostró que el 50% de los estudiantes necesitaron uno o dos intentos para pasar la barra de equilibrio, mientras que el 50% restante requirió de 3 a 7 intentos para completar el trayecto, lo que indica una mayor uniformidad en esta prueba. En conclusión, se propone diseñar y ejecutar programas que fortalezcan no solo la capacidad mencionada, sino también otras habilidades fundamentales en el desarrollo de los estudiantes del sistema de educación básica local.

This study investigated the implementation of Uganda’s National Teacher Policy (NTP) through the lens of Bourdieu’s Field Theory, with a specific focus on Continuous Professional Development (CPD) for teachers. The research aimed to explore the interplay between the policy field and the field of teachers’ work and analyze the experiences of institution heads and teachers in selected primary and secondary schools in Uganda’s capital, Kampala. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected from semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with education policymakers (n=5), headteachers (n=10), and teachers (n=20) from selected primary schools (n=5) and secondary schools (=5) in Kampala. Thematic analysis, guided by Bourdieu’s concepts of field, habitus, and capitals, was utilized to identify key patterns and disjunctions. Findings reveal significant structural hierarchies and power dynamics within the policy field, often disconnecting policymakers and practitioners. Institution heads reported challenges in adapting rigid policy frameworks to their contextual realities, highlighting intra-field tensions. Teachers’ engagement with CPDs was influenced by their habitus, with those possessing strong professional identities showing greater proactive participation. Disparities in cultural and economic capital among schools affected CPD accessibility and effectiveness, with well-resourced schools better positioned to implement comprehensive CPD initiatives. The study underscores the importance of reflexivity among policymakers, principals, and teachers to bridge gaps between policy intentions and practical realities. Recommendations include flexible and context-sensitive CPD policies, equitable resource distribution, and fostering collaborative professional learning communities. Future research should consider longitudinal studies on CPD impact, comparative regional analyses, and the role of digital learning in teacher CPD. Addressing these factors is crucial for enhancing the NTP’s impact on teacher professional development and improving educational outcomes in Uganda.
