AIM: To quantify changes in radial peripapillary capillary vessel density (ppVD) and the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) in children with type 1 diabetes without clinical diabetic retinopathy by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), providing a basis for early retinopathy in children with type 1 diabetes.
METHODS: This was a retrospective study. A total of 30 patients (3–14y) with type 1 diabetes without clinical diabetic retinopathy (NDR group) were included. A total of 30 age-matched healthy subjects were included as the normal control group (CON group). The HbA1c level in the last 3mo was measured once in the NDR group. The pRNFL thickness and ppVD were automatically measured, and the mean pRNFL and ppVD were calculated in the nasal, inferior, temporal, and superior quadrants. The changes in ppVD and pRNFL in the two groups were analyzed.
RESULTS: Compared with CON group, the nasal and superior ppVDs decreased in the NDR group (all P<0.01). The thickness of the nasal pRNFL decreased significantly (P<0.01), while the inferior, temporal and superior pRNFLs slightly decreased but not significant in the NDR group (all P>0.05). Person and Spearman correlation analysis of ppVD and pRNFL thickness in each quadrant of the NDR group showed a positive correlation between nasal and superior (all P<0.01), while inferior and temporal had no significant correlation (all P>0.05). There was no significant correlation between the HbA1c level and ppVD and pRNFL in any quadrant (all P>0.05). There was no significant correlation between the course of diabetes mellitus and ppVD and pRNFL in any quadrant (all P>0.05).
CONCLUSION: ppVD and pRNFL decrease in eyes of children with type 1 diabetes before clinically detectable retinopathy and OCTA is helpful for early monitoring．

AIM: To compare the vergence mechanisms between good and poor sleepers in university students.
METHODS: A total of 64 university students were recruited in this study. The validated Malay version of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire (PSQI-M) was used to measure the participants’ sleep quality over the past month. Participants were categorized as good sleepers (n=32) and poor sleepers (n=32) based on the PSQI-M scores. Heterophoria and fusional vergences were measured at distance and near. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare heterophoria, negative fusional vergence (NFV), and positive fusional vergence (PFV) at distance and near between good and poor sleepers. Spearman correlation analysis was used to study the relationship between PSQI-M score and PFV at distance.
RESULTS: Both distance and near heterophorias were not significantly different between good and poor sleepers (P>0.05). There was a difference in distance PFV (P<0.05) between good and poor sleepers, but not in distance NFV, near NFV, and near PFV (P>0.05). Distance PFV was negatively correlated with PSQI-M score (rs=-0.33, P<0.05).
CONCLUSION: University students with poor sleep quality demonstrates a reduced ability to maintain fusion with increasing convergence demand at distance. Sleep quality assessment during binocular vision examination in university students is recommended.

Oxidative chlorination of hydrocarbons. Part 1. The Deacon reaction. Oxidative chlorination of saturated hydrocarbons C1 and C2
Authors: Flid M. R.
Published: January 2024

The review paper considers main regularities of the hydrogen chloride oxidation (the Deacon reaction) and oxidative chlorination of methane and ethane. The most efficient catalysts for these processes were shown to be the copper chloride systems on various supports, which contain also chlorides of alkaline and rare-earth metals that decrease the carry-over of the active phase from the catalyst surface and increase the activity. The main kinetic and technological regularities of the oxychlorination processes were considered. The conditions that promote an increase in the yield of target products – lower chloromethanes at oxychlorination of methane and vinyl chloride at oxychlorination of ethane – were revealed. Variants of technological schemes for the oxychlorination processes were proposed.

Authors: RETNANİNGTYAS Yuni , PUTRİ NARİNDRA Nora , KRİSTİNİNGRUM Nia
Published: January 2024

Mangiferin is one of the antioxidants in Coffea arabica L. leaves that has many pharmacological effects. The content of secondary metabolites in the leaves including mangiferin can be affected by age. A Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) method for the quantitative analysis of mangiferin in Coffea arabica L. leaves extract was developed and validated. The method was developed using a mobile phase prepared with analytical grade solvents: ethyl acetate, methanol, formic acid, and deionized water (8:2:1:1 v/v/v/v). Regression functions were established over the 199.98-600.00 ng/spot range with r=0.999. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 13.87 and 41.61 ng, respectively. The method was selective with a resolution value of more than 1.5 and specific with the spectra correlation value for purity and identity check of more than 0.99. The percentage RSD was found to be 2.43% for repeatability precision and 2.05% for intermediate precision. The method's accuracy was determined through the standard addition method by adding known quantities of standard mangiferin to the pre-analyzed test solution and the mean recovery was 101.69± 1,21%. This TLC Densitometry method was linear, sensitive, selective and specific, precise, accurate, and can be used for routine analysis of mangiferin. On the young Coffea arabica L. leaves, the concentration of mangiferin ± RSD was 0.830 ± 1.71% w/w, and on the old Coffea arabica L. leaves was 1.128± 1.59% w/w.
Curriculum Analytics of Course Choices:
Authors: Srivastava Namrata , Nawaz Sadia , Tsai Yi-Shan , Gašević Dragan
Published: January 2024

In a higher education context, students are expected to take charge of their learning by deciding “what” to learn and “how” to learn. While the learning analytics (LA) community has seen increasing research on the “how” to learn part (i.e., researching methods for supporting students in their learning journey), the “what” to learn part is still underinvestigated. We present a case study of curriculum analytics and its application to a dataset of 243 students of the bachelor’s program in the broad discipline of health sciences to explore the effects of course choices on students’ academic performance. Using curriculum metrics such as grading stringency, course temporal position, and duration, we investigated how course choices differed between high- and low-performing students using both temporal and sequential analysis methods. We found that high-performing students were likely to pick an elective course of low difficulty. It appeared that these students were more strategic in terms of their course choices than their low-performing peers. Generally, low-performing students seemed to have made suboptimal choices when selecting elective courses; e.g., when they picked an elective course of high difficulty, they were less likely to pick a following course of low difficulty. The findings of this study have design implications for researchers, program directors, and coordinators, because they can use the results to (i) update the course sequencing, (ii) guide students about course choices based on their current GPA (such as through course recommendation dashboards), (iii) identify bottleneck courses, and (iv) assist higher education institutions in planning a more balanced course roadmap to help students manage their workload effectively.

La odisea pirata de Sharp, el derrotero español y sus copias inglesas: ¿Transmisión o apropiación de conocimiento?
Authors: Montañez Sanabria Elizabeth
Published: January 2024

Este artículo se centrará en la cartografía resultante de las correrías del bucanero inglés Bartholomew Sharp y sus huestes piratas en el Pacíﬁco americano entre 1680 y 1681. En particular, se examinará algunos de los atlas producidos por William Hack sobre la base del derrotero español del Mar del Sur que Sharp capturó en las costas de Ecuador, así como la copia que del mismo derrotero hizo el pirata inglés Basil Ringrose. El interés principal es determinar si la cartografía inglesa resultante de esta expedición pirata es una transmisión del expertise pirata o una apropiación de conocimiento hispánico.
Un viajero nacionalista por los Andes: Comentario a propósito de una nueva edición de ‘Paisajes peruanos’, de José de la Riva-Agüero y Osma
Authors: Gómez Acuña Luis
Published: January 2024

Paisajes peruanos es una de las mejores obras de corte histórico-literario realizadas por el historiador José de la Riva-Agüero y Osma. Ella ha sido siempre caliﬁcada como un relato de viaje, el cual fue, por cierto, bastante singular. Así, un joven limeño, doctor en Letras por la Universidad de San Marcos, descendiente de la antigua nobleza virreinal peruana, realizó en 1912 un viaje por los Andes siguiendo grosso modo el camino virreinal entre Cusco y Huancayo. Sus apuntes de viaje se constituyeron con el correr del tiempo en un erudito relato de viaje polifónico, de clara prosa modernista. Ello, por cierto, no agota la riqueza de dicho texto: Paisajes peruanos es, también, una clara visión de lo que el joven liberal Riva-Agüero pensaba que era y debía ser la nación peruana.

Authors: Damayanti Elsa Resti , Januri Fauzan , Jaenudin Jaenudin
Published: January 2024

This study theoretically examines the role of the sharia board in supervising sharia banks, especially the responsibilities and authority of its members. Furthermore, this paper examines whether the proportion of responsibility and authority is balanced or not. This is achieved by comparing the role of the sharia council in Indonesia with the role of the sharia council in Brunei Darussalam. This research is qualitative research with a comparative approach model. From the results of the study it was stated that Countries in the Southeast Asia region adopt a centralized Sharia governance model. The comparison is based on criteria such as: appointment, qualifications, process flow, governance and legislation. There is no significant difference in the role of the sharia supervisory board in both Indonesia and Brunei. The biggest difference between the two countries lies in the presence and absence of a special sharia governance system for sharia financial institutions. It can be said that Brunei and Indonesia from the legal framework will continue to experience development towards a better direction. The most important thing is that whatever type of regulations are set by the central bank, financial institutions must be willing to follow them.
The Crime of Importing Goods Prohibited Under Trade Law
Authors: Natio Ezra , Panjaitan Saut Parulian , Ikhsan Rd Muhammad
Published: January 2024

This research focused on the restriction of specific commodities from being brought into Indonesia and the implementation of regulations aimed at tackling the illegal activity of importing these prohibited products. Analyses are conducted on secondary sources of information, including statutes, books, and periodicals, in accordance with a juridical-normative research approach and conceptual approach. The research demonstrates that the limitation on importing specific commodities into Indonesia is intended to safeguard the interests of the nation and state. The forbidden goods encompass items that have the potential to disrupt military and security, pose risks to human health, cause harm to the environment, disrupt industry, trade, and finance, and damage cultural products. The Minister of Trade Regulation No. 18 of 2021, along with the Regulation of the Minister of Trade No. 40 of 2022, clearly states the precise commodities that are prohibited. Law enforcement against importing prohibited items uses administrative and criminal penalties. The imposition of import duties and the confiscation of merchandise are examples of administrative sanctions. Criminal sanctions are governed by articles 110 and 112 of Law No. 7 of 2014, which establish the provisions for cumulative criminal sanctions and penalties. Furthermore, these enforcement measures may be harmonized with customs regulation. In general, this research provides insight into the legal mechanisms implemented to enforce the prohibitions on specific imported products in Indonesia, as well as the underlying justifications for such restrictions, to safeguard national interests.

Effects of resistance training and protein supplementation interventions on muscle volume and muscle function: sex differences in humans
Authors: Noh Ki-Woong , Park Sok
Published: January 2024

[Purpose] This review aimed to identify differences in the effects of co-intervention with resistance training (RT) and protein supplementation according to sex and provide meaningful information for future research on the development of exercise programs to improve muscle volume and muscle function.[Methods] PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar were searched to identify clinical and nonclinical studies that assessed the effects of RT in older adults with sarcopenia; these studies were published between 1990 and 2023. Cross-sectional and double-blind studies (randomized controlled trials, RCTs) were examined in this review.[Results] The effects of parallel intervention with RT and protein supplementation on muscle volume and physical function were found to differ according to sex. Both males and females had improvements in muscle strength, muscle mass, and physical function after RT and protein supplementation; however, many studies found a greater increase in muscle volume and function in males than in females. Such difference may be due to differences in physiological characteristics between males and females.[Conclusion] Based on the findings of this review, the effects of combined intervention with RT and protein supplementation on muscle strength, muscle mass, and physical function to differ according to sex. Owing to these sex differences in the response and physiological characteristics caused by the parallel intervention of RT and protein supplementation, such differences must be considered to maximize the effects of RT and protein supplementation.
Backpackers’ Utopianism in Alex Garland’s “THE BEACH”
Authors: Astuti Irma Windy
Published: January 2024

This study focuses on analyzing the backpackers' utopianism in Alex Garland’s The Beach and the problem presented in this study is how is the backpackers’ utopianism presented in the novel. The study intends to identify utopianism that exist in the backpackers' community. The writers hopes that this study can give contribution to those interested in further analyzing the novel. In this case, the library research is used and the objective theory is employed as the basic principal of the analysis.Having a desire to find and experience something unusual and different through travel is what drives many young western backpackers to Thailand with adventure on their mind. Unfortunately what they find is no more than just a dirty reality of many overrun tourist resorts instead of a tourist free tropical paradise they long. Existing among those popularized tourist resorts is apparently, the beach, known for its beauty and natural purity. The beach happens to be an improbable tale among backpackers and travelers. However, for some other backpackers, this beach does exist. Guided by quite a top secret map, three backpackers find their pristine beach  on an unspoiled island of Thailand. Once there,  they are convinced that they have discovered Eden, or at least their very own version of it. Wearied by many overrun tourist spots, and impressed by the beauty of foe beach, those backpackers decide to live on the beach area eternally and secretly. In, this secret community, those backpackers adapt to foe needs and pleasures of alternatives. Unfortunately those backpackers supposedly ideal beach life is unable to be perfectly realize due to the imperfection that they find there, or more to the point, the imperfections they find within themselves.After, studying the backpackers utopianism, the writer can conclude that the backpackers’ notion of perfection upon an ideal place is in fact normal for it suggest the nature of humans as an imaginative creatures endowed with desire for perfection, especially reaction to their imperfect world. Aside from that, humans are, at the same time, likely to be considered absurd for being utopians those appear to be too exigent in demanding their particular version of ideal and thus, being less aware of the impracticability of his ideal. It is therefore to say that humans need to be sensible in idealizing their dreams. They must have complete knowledge and awareness of their own capability instead of blind faith.
Cooperative Learning Group for English Teachers: One Way of Supporting Under-qualified Teachers
Authors: Rahayu Puji
Published: January 2024

The fact that English teachers in Indonesia especially in remote area are under qualified is not debatable/They are not only incapable of teaching well but quite a lot of them also still need help in their English proficiency. Asking them to take an English class for them is almost impossible. There must be ways of developing their professionalism while they are performing as teachers.Building a cooperative learning group for English teacher will make them improved in both the knowledge and skills in teaching because of the very slogan of cooperative learning, which is "sink and swim together". Each group will be responsible for the improvement of all members because their success is determined by the success of' the group and the group also determines the success of the individual. This movement will be much more effective if it is used as one of the criteria of kenaikan pangkat.
Some Crucial Problems faces by Manokwari English Teachers
Authors: Riyanto Edy Dwi
Published: January 2024

The case of Manokwari English teachers shows great challenge. There are at least two main problems: number and quality.

Globalisation brings a great impact on the use of English in any domains like business, education, IT and the like. English has become lingua franca one chooses to communicate with others having a different language. English has spread worldwide and this phenomenon has resulted in English teaching learning in primary level in many non- English-speaking countries. This brings a consequence to a crucial need in teachers' education.

This paper is a sociolinguistic study on the impact of a two-week fieldwork experienced by English Diploma Program students of Universitas Islam Indonesia(UII)Yogyakarta in Australia. The aspects to be scrutinized are the effect of the program on the students' self development and their understanding of Australia and how their return to Indonesia influences their fellow students at the Islamic university.  Impact of the two-week field work is seen from two theoretical backgrounds language perception (Lowe, 2000) and orientation (Gardner, 1985). Data collection was carried out through email questionnaires. Several themes occurred were expectation on the fieldwork, expectation on life in Australia, family expectation, reality faced in Australia, most meaningful experiences, and returning to Indonesia.Results of the study show that the fieldwork has brought an "instrumentally oriented" impact on the students' self development and understanding of Australia. Even though the students gained more than previously expected, more could have been achieved as there was no strong influence on other UII students, yet.

Cooperative Learning Group for English Teachers: A School-based Teachers' Professional Development
Authors: Rahayu Puji , Astuti Irma Windy
Published: January 2024

The process of civil servant teacher's recruitment makes a school to possibly have both, or either, qualified and under qualified English teachers. The former can observe their job as teachers well while the later might not. The case is worse when they are not only incapable of teaching well but also still need help in their English proficiency. Asking them to take an English class is almost impossible. There must be ways of developing then professionalism while they are performing their tasks as teachers.Building a cooperative learning group for English teachers will improve their professionalism, both the qualified and under qualified ones, with its very slogan "sink and swim together". Each group will be responsible for the improvement of all members because their success is determined by the success of the group and the group also determines the success of the individual. Being in this group, qualified teachers can help their friends with their experiences while those who are not lucky in terms of both English and teaching skills will benefit from them without feeling underestimated due to the individual accountability characteristic of cooperative learning.In the group, teachers can do various professional development activities. They can build a discussion group, a reading group, peer observation and team teaching, and conduct a collaborative action research. This group will work better if the head master or a coordinator keeps an eye on it. This movement will also be much more effective if it is used as one of the criteria of kenaikan pangkat.
A Spark of Humor in English Classroom: Contribution and Consideration
Authors: Pujiastuti Ani
Published: January 2024

This paper supports an idea that humor has a significant role in increasing the English learners' communicative competence. It is very common for teachers to present humor in English classrooms, whether it is purposely presented or spontaneously practiced in classroom activities. Yet, regardless of its significant contribution in language learning activities, it is highly likely that humor is one point that remains untouched in language learning. How many English textbooks containing humor in it? We hardly ever find any syllabi purposefully present the ability of students to tell or to understand jokes. Telling jokes in a serious classroom maybe considered as something inappropriate as it may distract the classroom activities. Therefore, spontaneous humor may sometimes be viewed as an 'off task' behavior. However, it is sometimes forgotten that understanding other people's joke may be one of the keys of understanding other cultures, and ,more importantly, building a relationship with people from other countries.
Portraying The Turn Signal Markers Use Among Non-Native And Native Speakers Of English (A Pragmatic Perspective)
Authors: Samanhudi Udi
Published: January 2024

It has been known that among many activities, conversation is one activity which is very potential to buildup social relationships and exchange ideas among many people in their community. This fact indicates that conversation plays a crucial role in everybody's life. For a good conversation to take place, the awareness of the speakers to sign that they are finishing and that the listeners begin a response seems to be one of the key points to succeed the conversation activity. This means that the participants, both speakers and hearers, should apply turn signals as indication of willingness to take, hold, or pass the floor during the course of the conversation. This writing is a report of a minor study on turn signals in English conversations done by Indonesians as non-native speakers and Americans as native speakers of English who are found to use English in their conversations. The English conversations analyzed in this study are those conversations taking place in natural contexts like in a lobby of a hotel, a workshop room and a restaurant. Those conversations are recorded, transcribed and analyzed. In order to get the whole picture of both the turn signal markers used and then purposes, a participatory observation was also conducted. Thus, to be more focused, this research is limited to the analysis of markers used by both Indonesians and Americans in turn-taking. The results reveal that both Indonesians and Americans use almost the same markers (words) in turn taking like yeah, well, you know, I think, well yeah, etc. Those markers are applied interchangeably in the turn-taking done by the two groups in the course of the conversations done. In terms of purpose, the use of those markers in turn-taking is mainly to indicate that one of the participants in the conversations (both NNS and NS) wants to take the floor and have the talking turn. The difference found between the two groups was pause (silent) in signaling something in a conversation being done especially when one of them is talking. Indonesian tends to make a longer pause to show, probably, that they are attentive to their colleague having the turn of speaking. This might be done because keep silent when other people are talking is considered polite. Meanwhile, the two Americans involved in this study keep using certain words of signaling such as well. yeah, hmm, during the course of the conversations including when one of them is talking. This seems to be done in order to avoid the sense of being rude or impolite ignoring the one having the turn of talking. Finally, this could be done also to indicate that they are paying attention to what their colleague/s say and keep the conversation runs smoothly. From this, it is clear that, cultural norms what they believe about being polite, also play a role in turn taking activities in a conversation.
Servant Leadership: Educational Institution
Authors: Rahayani Yayan
Published: January 2024

Servant leadership was firstly introduced by Robert K. Greenleaf in his essay The servant as leader in 1970. Green leaf had spent his life working for a telecommunication company before he eventually dedicated his life as a public teacher. He concerned about wider society and global culture. His belief is that authentic change happened only when it began in the inner solitude of single individuals. Greenleaf explains that the servant leader is servant first with the natural feeling that one wants to serve. The leader-first and the servant-first are two extreme types of leaders with the servant-first leader taking care to make sure other people's highest priority needs are being served. Following the desire to serve may be a conscious choice that brings one to aspire to lead. In educational setting, servant leadership seems to be the most compatible leadership compare to transformational and charismatic leadership. Teachers serve the need of student and in turn this will encourage students consciously to become leader for themselves to be more independent.
