A Review of Synthesis Methods and Applications of Zinc Oxide Nanostructures
Authors: Al-Memoori Mohammed Hamza K. , Majeed Hassan A. , Al-Nafiey Amer
Published: December 2024

In this review, the methods of synthesis and applications of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were presented for the period from 2002 to 2024.  Zinc oxide (ZnO) has a high economic value because of its inexpensive cost, natural availability, environmental friendliness, simple manufacturing process, and so on. ZnO has developed novel laser and optoelectronic device approaches that will increase the density of data storage and the speed of optical communication recording. Because of the changes in mechanical, chemical, and optical properties with decreasing size, that is generally assumed to arise from quantum confinement effects who is scale-dependent, there is a lot of research going on with ZnO, particularly in the area of nanotechnology. Low defect density ZnO nanostructures might be useful. Because their stress may be successfully regulated via flexible relaxation on free-side surfaces rather than plastic relaxation, nanostructures are more likely to generate faultless structures than epilayers.

Published: December 2024

Forecast is a prediction of future events that had taken a significant role in our society especially when facing time-sensitive issues like food availability. Food is a critical aspect in ensuring people's welfare, especially in a country like Indonesia with a large population. Availability and access to rice are a vital need for the people of Indonesia. Rice is not only the main source of carbohydrates, but also has a central role in the cultural and social aspects of Indonesian society. Forecasting can be a strategy to anticipate fluctuations in food demand and supply. Forecasting can be an important instrument for the government and stakeholders to make the right and effective decisions. The growing period of rice which is heavily influenced by seasonality makes DeepAR and SARIMA techniques a good solution to solve this problem. Both methods offer the ability to address features in rice production such as trends, seasonality, and anomaly effects. This study demonstrates that DeepAR, especially when optimized with Optuna, outperforms SARIMA in forecasting rice production in Indonesia, as evidenced by superior performance in key evaluation metrics such as Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE).

Adsorbent selection during the bleaching stage of fish oil purification can significantly impact the final product quality.  This study aimed to evaluate the impact of different adsorbents on the quality of refined eel fish (Anguilla marmorata (Q.) Gaimard) oil. Eel fish oil was extracted using Soxhlet extraction with diethyl ether and purified through degumming, neutralization, and bleaching stages. Various adsorbents (bentonite, magnesol XL, and zeolite) were employed at different concentrations (1% bentonite, 3% magnesol XL, and 5% & 10% zeolite activated by acid and base) to remove impurities. The refined oils were analyzed for physical, chemical, and microbiological properties. Results showed that all adsorbents effectively improved the quality of eel fish oil, meeting most International Fish Oil Standard (IFOS) and Indonesian National Standard (SNI - 8467:2018) criteria. However, density and iodine values were below the specified limits. Microbiological analysis confirmed the absence of contamination, but lead levels exceeded the permissible standard.

The meta-synthesis method was employed to analyze various characteristics of the studies on noticing in mathematics education, including sample size, sample group, research methods, data collection tools, theoretical frameworks, content areas studied, objectives of the studies on noticing, and components of noticing. The analysis reveals that the majority of studies on teacher noticing have relied on small sample sizes and predominantly qualitative research designs, with a noticeable increase in the adoption of mixed-method approaches in recent years. The most commonly used data collection tools were video recordings and written notes, underscoring the importance of capturing real-time classroom interactions and reflective observations. The primary focus of these studies has been on teaching foundational concepts, particularly in the domain of numbers. Findings indicate that studies often integrate multiple components of noticing, reflecting a comprehensive approach to understanding how teachers observe, interpret, and respond to student behaviors. These findings indicated that researchers have diversified the field of noticing, resulting in a wide array of studies.
Integrating Learning and Hummingbird Medicine to Heal Academic Harm
Authors: Mendoza Elizabeth , Padilla-Chavez Adria , Salazar Beatriz , Jurow Aachey Susan
Published: December 2024

Schooling practices and institutions of schooling have harmed racialized K-12 students, teachers, undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty. How we define learning plays a significant role in understanding and ameliorating this harm. To envision a more hopeful future for education, in this article, we explore the relationship between learning, academic harm, and healing. To do so, we bring insights from Curanderismo—an oral healing and spiritual tradition—and sociocultural perspectives on learning into conversation to foreground the historical and cultural dimensions of learning in everyday practices. To breathe life into these connections, we share three stories inspired by hummingbird medicine, one form of wisdom found in Curanderismo. The stories illuminate the fluidity of time and space to support expansive views of learning and healing, the need to acknowledge the winding paths of learning and how they often grow through missteps and failures, and the need to offer ourselves and our students love as we try to heal ourselves from academic harms. Bringing learning and healing together intentionally can move us toward creating educational systems that allow for the flourishing of people in mind, body, spirit, and heart. We conclude with questions that can guide the design of learning environments characterized by healing and dignity.

Authors: Hyun No Kim  , Ryu Hwanhee
Published: December 2024

Urbanization and environmental degradation have led to significant declines in water quality and aquatic ecosystem health, highlighting the urgent need for effective restoration efforts. This study applies an integrated analysis approach to estimate the economic value and benefits of improvements in water quality and aquatic ecosystem services resulting from the Ecological Stream Restoration Project. Using survey data analyzed through the choice experiment (CE) method, we assessed respondents’ preferences for various ecosystem services, including water-friendly services, ecological functions, water-level control, and water-quality purification. Three empirical analysis models—the Conditional Logit Model (CLM), Nested Logit Model (NL), and Error Component Logit Model (ECL)—were applied, with the ECL model identified as the most suitable for this study. From the physical impact assessment, we derived compensating variations to estimate the annual economic benefits of the project. The estimated annual economic value of water quality improvement due to the Anyangcheon Ecological Stream Restoration Project ranged from approximately KRW 10.54 billion to KRW 21.44 billion, while the economic value of aquatic ecosystem improvement was estimated to range from KRW 6.05 billion to KRW 12.30 billion annually. This study provides analytic framework that can inform future ecological restoration projects and sustainable water management policies.

AXEL HONNETH E O QUADRO REFERENCIAL TEÓRICO HEGELIANO
Authors: Oliveira Juliano Cordeiro da Costa
Published: December 2024

Este artigo apresenta as questões essenciais da teoria crítica de Axel Honneth a partir do quadro referencial teórico hegeliano. Seria preciso, assim, o entendimento das questões fundamentais que Hegel enfrentava em seu tempo, para, então, contextualizar a proposta filosófica de Honneth. Sem o entendimento do quadro referencial teórico hegeliano, a reflexão da teoria crítica de Honneth torna-se incompleta. Apesar da reconhecida influência que Hegel tem na articulação teórica de Honneth, pouco se diz em que momentos específicos as questões postas por Hegel também estão presentes no pensamento de Honneth. A nosso ver, isto é determinante para compreendermos o modelo crítico de Honneth. A partir de Hegel, destaca-se a categoria do reconhecimento que, em Honneth, aparece também como uma categoria central em sua proposta de teoria crítica. Primeiramente, debate-se o quadro referencial teórico hegeliano; em seguida, articula-se como as reflexões de Hegel também são essenciais para o entendimento da filosofia de Honneth.

HISTÓRIA, DIALÉTICA E MATERIALISMO HISTÓRICO NA LEITURA BENJAMINIANA DE DAS PASSAGEN WERK
Authors: Schlesener Anita Helena
Published: December 2024

Este artigo procura salientar elementos gerais do pensamento de Walter Benjamin, a partir critérios de abordagem da realidade política e histórica, direcionados pelo conceito de imagem dialética, que renova o significado da dialética como abordagem teórico-metodológica do materialismo histórico. Todo o percurso se fundamenta nos Arquivos K e N de Das Passagen-Werk, obra constituída de apontamentos e materiais selecionados para uma futura obra sobre Baudelaire. Tem-se uma retomada de conceitos de Marx, como o fetichismo da mercadoria e o sentido de história, contraposto a uma experiência linear do tempo, característica do historicismo de matriz Socialdemocrata. Coloca-se para Benjamin a necessidade de romper com as noções de determinismo e causalidade como o ponto fixo que delimitava a leitura contínua da história, para instaurar uma nova metodologia capaz de reconhecer as correspondências entre o ocorrido e o agora.

Authors: Lambulira Mathews , Bello Felix
Published: December 2024

This study examines the nature of tourism associations in Malawi and assesses their effectiveness in promoting the interests of private tourism operators. A qualitative research approach was used, and 43 semi-structured interviews were carried out with key tourism stakeholders. The study found that the Malawi tourism association plays a critical role in tourism development and private sector growth but also faces a number of challenges that include financial constraints, limited linkages with key stakeholders, inadequate human resources, internal conflicts, and power disparities which pose significant obstacles to the effective operation of tourism association. To increase efficacy during the COVID-19 recovery period, it is recommended that the tourism association should strengthen its relationship and coordination with tourism sub-sector associations, the Malawi Confederation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry, and the Ministry of Trade to increase its lobbying and negotiating power. Additionally, the study suggests that the tourism association should develop more direct business development services and diversify its revenue streams by seeking financial assistance from developmental organizations, negotiating with financial institutions for better borrowing rates, and providing direct services at a fee. The study also recommends intensifying awareness programmes to dispel misconceptions about the association and increase stakeholder engagement.

Published: December 2024

�Today, the debate over the integration of Islamic religious education and science in Indonesia's public schools and universities continues. They frequently navigated their own paths, ignoring each other's presence. This research attempts to identify the constraints and solutions to the integration of Islamic religious education and science in these institutions. The study employed a non-interactive qualitative approach, utilizing content analysis to examine various emerging issues found in books, documents, journals, and other articles. The study's findings revealed several obstacles to the integration of Islamic religious education and science in schools and tertiary institutions, such as the lack of relevant integration formulations, the absence of integration regulations, the scarcity of human resources, the division between religious and general material hours, and the lack of comprehensive teaching materials. Therefore, we can offer the following solutions: (1) formulating curriculum integration relevant to the Indonesian context; (2) establishing regulations or revising the National Education System Law; (3) fostering collaboration between PTU and PTAI; (4) preparing human resources in the form of focused and creative teachers; (5) reconstructing relevant teaching materials; and (6) providing adequate facilities and infrastructure.

Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) memiliki peran penting dalam membentuk karakter dan meningkatkan kesehatan mental siswa. Dalam perspektif Islam, terdapat kaitan erat antara prinsip-prinsip ajaran Islam dan kesehatan mental. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi peran guru PAI dalam menangani kesehatan mental siswa pada tingkat MTs dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode penelitian kepustakaan. Pembahasan menguraikan konsep Pendidikan Agama Islam, dukungan dan tantangan kesehatan mental remaja, pandangan Islam tentang kesehatan mental, tugas guru PAI, upaya pembinaan mental, faktor penghambat, dan peran guru PAI dalam meningkatkan kesehatan mental siswa. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa guru PAI berperan sebagai pembimbing, motivator, pendidik nilai moral-spiritual, fasilitator pembinaan mental, serta penyedia dukungan emosional-spiritual. Mereka juga menjembatani sekolah dan keluarga dalam menciptakan lingkungan yang mendukung kesehatan mental siswa. Faktor penghambat seperti pengaruh keluarga dan pergaulan perlu diatasi melalui kolaborasi antara guru, orang tua, dan lingkungan sosial siswa. Dengan menjalankan perannya secara efektif, guru PAI dapat berkontribusi dalam meningkatkan kesehatan mental siswa secara holistik dan berkelanjutan.

The present review focuses on the progress of tribology from the prehistoric period to the contemporary interdisciplinary research trends. During the Paleolithic period, humans used sliding friction, generated inadvertently, to make fire. The Paleolithic inhabitants possessed the knowledge to wear the chloritolite blank to fabricate a bracelet using sophisticated material removal processes. Furthermore, they wore the tooth by making holes, filled them with fillings, intended as a pathologically motivated intervention. Humans wore the tooth by in vivo drilling in the Neolithic period, used as a remedial or soothing dental procedure. The Egyptians poured water on sand to ease the movement of the statue mounted on a sled, and recently, compared to the sled dragging on dry sand, the capillary water bridges easing the sled dragging on wet sand is experimentally observed. Bearings are proposed in the renaissance era, and Leonardo da Vinci initiated friction studies, which witnessed significant progress in the industrial revolution era. The industrial revolution ushered in the use of solid lubricants and lubricating oils and grease with additives. Studies in the scientific era discussed friction, wear, and lubrication problems and reported novel, proven solutions. The expansion of tribology research into different disciplines gave birth to novel interdisciplinary studies: the mimicking of biological structures to improve adhesion, use-wear patterns of ground stone tool surfaces, tribological behavior of artificial implants and medical devices, friction in oral processing, and lubricity of two-dimensional lamellar material. Green tribology is the recent focus and it promotes sustainable tribology research for the sustenance of the earth.
The effects of KISS1, GDF9 and BMP15 genes on reproductive traits in goats: A review

Published: December 2024

This review article presents a comprehensive analysis of the genetic factors determining reproductive performance in goats. Reproductive capacity is a critical parameter that directly affects economic efficiency in the livestock industry. Genetic studies have enabled the identification of various genes and genetic mechanisms influencing reproductive performance in goats, including key genes such as KISS1, GDF9 and BMP15. It is essential to examine the reproductive conditions and traits in farm animals, particularly in indigenous goat breeds historically, culturally, and economically significant in our country. This review examines KISS1, GDF9 and BMP15 genes associated with reproduction, their functions, and their impacts on reproductive biology in light of current literature. The importance of modern genetic techniques and biotechnological applications in enhancing reproductive efficiency in goat populations is also discussed. This review provides data for the optimization of gene selection strategies and the integration of current genetic knowledge to improve reproductive performance in goat breeding.
A Comparative approach to phyllodes tumors in women and phyllodes-like tumors in female dogs

Published: December 2024

Mammary gland tumors, a significant concern for both humans and dogs, often carry a malignant prognosis. The diagnosis of these tumors is primarily based on their histopathological appearance in both species. This study delves into the pathological features of Phyllodes tumors in female dogs, a type not typically included in the histopathological classification of canine mammary tumors but well-documented in women. By comparing the recently described Phyllodes tumor cases in dogs with those in women, we aim to shed light on the shared vulnerability of women and female dogs to these tumors. The increasing number of studies exploring the common features between breast cancer in women and mammary tumors in female dogs makes the comparative evaluation of this rare tumor type in both species not only interesting but also crucial.
The Impact of the Internet on Relational Goods: Empirical Evidence from European Countries
Authors: Altun Erdoğdu Keziban
Published: December 2024

Along with behavioral approaches in economics, a new social concept has emerged which is built on human relationships. Being called relational goods, this concept represents the advantages that people derive from their relationships with each other, such as social approval, friendship, companionship, etc. Relational goods that make people feel satisfied and content are generally produced/consumed in positive family and friendship connections. Nowadays it might be expensive to maintain this kind of relations. Spending time on the internet or social media has become more and more appealing for many people. Especially in European countries, where the percentage of people who prefer to be isolated is rising rapidly day by day, the rate of internet use is quite high. This study aims to investigate the impact of the internet on relational goods in Europe based on the data from the 10th Round of the European Social Survey. In this direction, firstly, categorical principal component analysis was employed in order to construct proxy indicators coded as “social relations” and “family relations” instead of relational goods. Afterwards, the relationship between these indicators and internet use was analyzed with the help of figures. The figures suggest that as average daily internet use increases, both social and family relationships weaken. The findings reveal that in countries where people spend less time online, social ties with family, friends, neighbors or close friends are relatively robust; on the contrary, in countries where people use the internet intensively, communication within the family and in social life is generally poor. The results of the regression indicate that in addition to the internet, socio-economic and socio-demographic factors are also determinants of interpersonal relationships. This study, contrary to the literature, finds that in European countries, the use of the internet weakens the ties between people and reduces the production/consumption of relational goods.
