Analysis of Indonesian Students Scientific Literacy Ability in Chemistry Learning: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Murti Adek Diah , Hernani Hernani , Fatimah Soja Siti
Published: September 2024

This study aims to examine the results of the analysis of scientific literacy abilities of Indonesian students in chemistry learning. The method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which consists of five stages, namely question formulation, locating studies, study selection and evaluation, analysis and synthesis, reporting and using the results. Based on a study of 15 reputable journals indexed scopus (International Journal) and sinta (National Journal), the scientific literacy abilities of Indonesian students at the high school level and the education of prospective teachers are in the sufficient category, but there are still many who are in the low category. This is because students are not familiar with scientific literacy questions and learning which rarely trains individuals to make arguments based on observations or investigations, making it difficult for them to work on questions that require an analysis of existing scientific evidence or facts. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to improve scientific literacy skills through the application of learning models that train the ability to apply scientific knowledge that has been obtained in solving problems in everyday life. Problem-based learning models, ethnoscience-based learning, contextual-based guided inquiry learning, and also project-based learning.
Notas para un comentario a «Fratelli Tutti», Encíclica del Papa Francisco: Una propuesta de amistad social y de fraternidad. Puntos clave
Authors: Sanz Valdivieso Rafael
Published: September 2024

San Francisco manifestó la esencia de una condición fraternal abierta que nos permite reconocer, apreciar y amar cada persona, sin tener en cuenta su cercanía física o donde él o ella han nacido o viven. Este santo del amor fraterno, de la sencillez y de la alegría, ha inspirado al Papa para escribir la encíclica Laudato Si’ y da pie ahora, una vez más, para dedicar esta nueva encíclica a la fraternidad y a la amistad social. Las páginas que siguen no ofrecen un comentario completo o una enseñanza global sobre el amor fraterno, sino más bien su dimensión universal, su apertura a cada ser humano, hombre o mujer. El Papa ofrece esta encíclica social como una contribución a la reflexión continuada pensando en nuestros días y en la necesidad de superar el rechazo de los demás, del otro, y proponer una visión de la fraternidad y la amistad social que no se quede sólo en palabras. Es lo que pretende y propone este artículo que sigue la enseñanza de la doctrina social de la Iglesia.
A propósito de las citas del Corpus Henóquico en la edición española de los Apócrifos del Antiguo Testamento
Authors: Piñero Antonio
Published: September 2024

Este artículo es una reflexión sobre el elevado número de citas de 1 Henoc por los colaboradores de la serie “Apócrifos del Antiguo Testamento” de Ediciones. Cristiandad, Madrid. Dentro de 1 Henoc, mi reflexión se centra en los capítulos 45-49 (la preexistencia de “ese hijo de hombre” = 32 citas), más los capítulos 70 (asunción de Henoc al cielo) y 71 (Henoc declarado “ese hijo de hombre):16 citas. El Nuevo Testamento alude el corpus henóquico en unos 110 pasajes, bastante más que a cualquier otro apócrifo. Este artículo se centra el sintagma “Hijo del Hombre, su posible origen, su intelección en el Libro de las Parábolas, en la Fuente Q y en los Evangelios sinópticos.La conclusión es que el uso del sintagma “Hijo del Hombre” como título mesiánico nace como fruto de una disputa entre grupos sectarios judíos en torno al mesías. Es un hallazgo teológico de los autores de la Fuente Q y su versión al griego contra los autores de LP (cuyo mesías es Henoc), hallazgo que acepta y potencia el Evangelio de Marcos.

Il “motivo” dell'Incarnazione in alcuni autori del XX secolo. Percorsi e prospettive di ricerca
Authors: Battaglia Vincenzo
Published: September 2024

Repasando la historia de la cristología del siglo XX, nos damos cuenta de que uno de los temas centrales fue, y sigue siendo, el cristocentrismo, considerado tanto primaria como ontológicamente a la luz del misterio trinitario de Dios (cristocentrismo trinitario), y, en consecuencia, en orden al plan salvífico de Dios Uno y Trino y, por tanto, en el contexto de la historia de la salvación concerniente a toda la creación, la humanidad y el mundo concebidos en su unidad/alianza (cristocentrismo soteriológico, universal y cósmico).
Estudio de las creencias y del proceso de creer como reto teológico
Authors: Oviedo Torró Lluís
Published: September 2024

La teología ha reflexionado desde sus inicios sobre el misterio de la fe, que ha considerado siempre como una virtud teológica, es decir infundida por la gracia divina. Sin embargo, en fechas recientes, surgen otros intentos en ambiente científico que tratan de comprender mejor cómo se forman las creencias y el papel que juegan en varias áreas del conocimiento y la acción. También estamos comprendiendo mejor su carácter imprescindible en la configuración de sistemas sociales, de las relaciones personales y en la percepción de la propia identidad y del sentido de la vida. Esta claro que estos estudios tienen una gran relevancia para la teología de la fe, y también para otros campos relacionados, como el de la relación entre fe y razón. El artículo explora las posibilidades abiertas de interacción y lo que la teología puede aportar en ese diálogo enriquecedor.

Se concluye con una invitación a renovar el estudio de la Teología desde la Iglesia que se abre a la sinodalidad de la escucha y del compromiso de vida de fe.
The NRF2-KEAP1 pathway and epigenetic control in colorectal cancer: A promising prognostic and predictive biomarker
Authors: Taheri Zahra , Irani Shiva , Aghdaei Hamid Asadzadeh
Published: September 2024

In colorectal cancer (CRC), important genes in the NRF2/KEAP1 pathway may undergo methylation, yet the exact genes that control this pathway in CRC are not entirely understood. Targeting the NRF2/KEAP1 pathway could be a valuable therapeutic strategy for colorectal cancer. Our research examined the methylation and expression of the KEAP1 gene in precancerous lesions and colorectal cancer, as well as investigated this pathway in the HT-29 cell line for potential CRC treatment. In this study, 208 frozen colorectal tissue samples were analysed, including 34 tumours, 60 precancerous lesions with adjacent normal tissues, and 20 normal tissue samples. The methylation-specific PCR and quantitative PCR were used to examine KEAP1 gene promoter methylation, and NRF2 and KEAP1 gene expressions, respectively. Furthermore, the HT 29 cell line was treated with 5-Azacytidine, followed by quantitative real-time PCR to evaluate post-demethylation KEAP1 and NRF2 mRNA expression. Unlike NRF2, our research revealed a notable reduction in KEAP1 gene expression in CRC tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues (p=0.02). Intriguingly, treating the HT-29 cell line with 5-Azacytidine led to a significant increase in KEAP1 gene expression compared to untreated cells (P=0.03), with no significant alteration observed in NRF2 gene expression. Examination of CpG islands within the KEAP1 gene promoter indicated extensive hypermethylation in 58.8% of tumour tissues compared to adjacent normal samples. These findings indicate that decreased KEAP1 gene expression resulting from promoter hypermethylation could interfere with the NRF2/KEAP1 pathway, a crucial mechanism in colorectal carcinogenesis. The study proposes that KEAP1 may play a significant role in the progression of CRC and could potentially serve as a biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring therapy in CRC

Published: September 2024

Snake distribution and habitat modeling serve multiple valuable purposes, one of which involves establishing a systematic approach for collecting and assessing data related to the presence and influence of diverse factors on snake distribution patterns. The main objective of this study is to explore the habitat association of the Sri Lankan Green Pit Viper (Peltopelor trigonocephalus) and develop models to assess the suitability of different habitats within the island Sri Lanka. We modeled the suitable habitat for this species using the maximum entropy algorithm, combining presence data collected over two years (from April 2021 to April 2023) with a set of seven environmental variables (annual precipitation, annual mean temperature, precipitation of coldest quarter, elevation, land use, isothermality, Euclidean distance to water). We assessed the importance of different environmental variables through jackknife tests. We evaluated the predictive ability of the models using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. We discovered that the primary explanatory variables influencing the distribution of the species were annual mean temperature, annual precipitation, and elevation, contributing significantly at 35%, 31.6%, and 20%, respectively. The Sri Lankan Green pit viper inhabited riparian, forest, and open habitats, with the highest number of individuals recorded in riparian areas. We presented the first habitat suitability models for the Sri Lankan Green Pit Viper, offering valuable insights for conservation biologists and land managers involved in preserving this species.

Published: September 2024

With the continuous development of biological detection technology and semiconductors, human health monitoring and intervention methods will advance rapidly at the molecular level. As the lowest level hardware technology, biosensors are developing towards micro precision, adaptation, and self-calibration in terms of technological development trends. In order to achieve good sports performance, athletes must have sufficient physical fitness as the basis for creating high-level sports performance. Protein nutrition is indispensable for athletes, so it is necessary to monitor its nutrition and supplement it in time. This paper proposed a monitoring method based on digital broadcasting system to monitor protein nutrition metabolism, so as to understand the protein metabolism of basketball players in real time, which was very meaningful to improve the physical function of athletes. The experimental results in this paper showed that the muscle mass, contraction speed, training effect and immunity of group A were 30, 37, 33 and 42 points, respectively. The muscle mass, contraction speed, training effect and immunity of group B were 65, 57, 62 and 55 points, respectively. It can be found that the muscle mass, contraction speed, training effect and immunity of group A are not as good as those of group B, indicating that protein can improve the physiological needs of athletes and improve the efficiency of training.

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tools have become essential in addressing the growing security challenges faced by organizations as they migrate to cloud environments. This study explores the effectiveness of CSPM tools in automating the identification and response to security risks within cloud infrastructures, highlighting their role in reducing misconfigurations, improving compliance, and enhancing overall security posture. Through a mixed-method approach, combining a comprehensive literature review, a survey of IT security professionals, and detailed case study analyses, this research provides a robust evaluation of CSPM tools' capabilities and the challenges associated with their implementation. The findings reveal that organizations utilizing CSPM tools experience significant reductions in security incidents and operational inefficiencies, with automation playing a crucial role in enabling real-time threat detection and response. However, the study also identifies critical barriers to CSPM adoption, including integration complexities, cost concerns, and organizational resistance to automated security solutions. These challenges suggest that while CSPM tools offer substantial benefits, their successful deployment requires careful planning, adequate resource allocation, and strategic change management to address both technical and human factors. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing detailed insights into the practical applications and limitations of CSPM tools, offering valuable guidance for organizations seeking to enhance their cloud security strategies through automation.

Customer Focus in UK e-Government: Or, Putting the Politics back into e-Government
Authors: Cornford J. , Richter P.
Published: September 2024

The techniques and technologies of customer service, as introduced under the guise of e-government, have brought certain aspects of public service users into sharp focus, but at the expense of other aspects. It is hypothesised that this effect may lie behind the failure of half a decade of IT-enabled change in public services to improve 'customer satisfaction'. Remedying this situation, it is suggested, will require a re-examination of the model of the customer which underpins customer service as it has been adopted by public service organisations.

Deferred Action: Theoretical model of process architecture design for emergent business processes
Authors: Patel N.
Published: September 2024

E-Business modelling and ebusiness systems development assumes fixed company resources, structures, and business processes. Empirical and theoretical evidence suggests that company resources and structures are emergent rather than fixed. Planning business activity in emergent contexts requires flexible ebusiness models based on better management theories and models. This paper builds and proposes a theoretical model of ebusiness systems capable of catering for emergent factors that affect business processes. Drawing on development of theories of the 'action and design' class the Theory of Deferred Action is invoked as the base theory for the theoretical model. A theoretical model of flexible process architecture is presented by identifying its core components and their relationships, and then illustrated with exemplar flexible process architectures capable of responding to emergent factors. Managerial implications of the model are considered and the model's generic applicability is discussed.
A study of the enablers of non-sequential internationalization process among small and medium-sized firms
Authors: Osarenkhoe A.
Published: September 2024

The question addressed in this paper is: Is non-sequential internationalization process solely technology enabled or a product of mutually interdependent forces? It is shown in this paper that even though the sequential approach in the process model is intuitively appealing, not all firms follow such a path. This void is filled by explaining how the international market entry process has changed with respect to the sequential approach. Data collection entails 60 Swedish SMEs operating in other countries and foreign SMEs operating in Sweden that tends not to develop in incremental stages with respect to their international. Findings include: that the sequential model is by no means reflective of, or appropriate for all firms' approaches to international business; the usefulness gained by using an international relationship approach to study the international activity of a firm; and the interplay between the identified driving forces behind a non-sequential internationalization process. Knowledge acquired from the empirical study is used to develop an integrated framework which aptly depicts that non-sequential internationalization process is not solely enabled by technology, as commonly envisaged in literature, but a product of mutually interdependent forces. Implications include: all firms are exposed to irrecoverable transaction costs that hamper their behaviours and complicate export supply responses in international markets. However, the magnitude of the costs and speed of internationalization is dependent on the ability of the firms to take advantage of the enablers of non-sequential internationalization pattern. This is particularly important for firms to and from developing countries and emerging markets and their propensities to succeed in their internationalization endeavours.

Published: September 2024

There is limited empirical research on the internationalisation processes, strategies and operations of Asian multinational corporations (MNCs), particularly MNC's based in Malaysia. The emergence and development of an MNC from this developing country represents a significant addition to the literature on this topic which augments and supplements the information already available with regard to nascent MNCs from Asian Newly Industrialised Countries (NIC's). Drawing on primary data from in-depth interviews with 12 key executives from Sime Darby Berhad (SDB), a developing Malaysian-based MNC, this paper will examine and investigate the firm's internationalisation process, its characteristics and strategies, including motivations, patterns, and sources of competitive advantage. The empirical findings, limitations and areas for further research are discussed.

The objective of this study is to design a unique glass network composed of TeO2-ZnCl2-Nb2O5-TiO2 to investigate the microstructural and mechanical properties. In this experiment, the proposed glass network was produced using melt quenching method. The microstructural properties and hardnesses was derived from the XRD, SEM and Vicker’s Hardness measurements. Microstructures and crystalline phases was determined using the XRD diffractometry from 20 to 90 range. The estimated crystalline phases of the prepared glass samples were -TeO2 and -TiO2. As a conclusion, tellurite-based oxide glass materials have become very much promising candidate in the areas like fiber optics, optical communication, white LED, quantum dot, quantum computing, laser technology, photonics due to their second harmonic properties.

Published: September 2024

Pandemi Covid-19 telah berlangsung lebih dari satu tahun. Provinsi Maluku Utara mengalami kenaikan kasus yang signifikan pada tiga bulan terakhir di tahun 2020. Kenaikan kasus yang signifikan di awal tahun 2021 disebabkan mulai adanya kerumunan karena pelaksanaan Pemilihan Kepala Daerah (Pilkada), Perayaan Natal, dan Tahun Baru. Kabupaten Halmahera Timur adalah kabupaten keenam dengan kasus Covid-19 tertinggi di Propinsi Maluku Utara. Kondisi Kabupaten Halmahera Timur yang merupakan remote area atau daerah terpencil membuat akses terhadap pelayanan testing menjadi sangat terbatas. Pelayanan tes antigen hanya tersedia di Puskesmas tertentu dan satu klinik swasta. Dampaknya, tracing menjadi terhambat sehingga banyak kasus tidak tercatat karena sulit terdeteksi. Implementasi protokol kesehatan di Halmahera Timur juga cenderung rendah, khususnya di tempat-tempat ibadah dan kegiatan masyarakat. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah kurangnya pemahaman tentang Covid-19 dan protokol kesehatan. Media Komunikasi, Informasi, dan Edukasi (KIE) yang didistribusikan Puskesmas masih terbatas sehingga hanya diletakkan di tempat-tempat umum saja. Selain itu, masyarakat sulit memahami isi pesan pada media KIE yang ada karena menggunakan Bahasa Indonesia baku. Artiel ini bertujuan menggambarkan proses pengembangan media KIE berbahasa lokal dan penerimaan masyarakat terhadap pesan yang disampaikan. Hasil menunjukkan masyarakat dapat memahami pesan tentang Covid-19 dan pencegahannya yang disampaikan dengan bahasa lokal.
