Published: January 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the potential preventative effects of Andrographis paniculata on cardiac damage produced by diclofenac in Wistar albino rats. The rats were randomly assigned to five groups: Group 1, which served as the normal control and was given only feed; Group 2, which served as the positive control and was given feed along with 100 mg/kg body weight diclofenac; Group 3, which received feed along with 100 mg/kg body weight diclofenac and 200 mg/kg extract; Group 4, which received feed along with 100 mg/kg body weight diclofenac and 400 mg/kg extract; and Group 5, which received feed along with 100 mg/kg body weight diclofenac and 200 mg/kg vitamin E. The oral administration of the extract was conducted over a period of 14 days, following which the animals were slaughtered on the 15th day in order to facilitate subsequent analysis. The findings indicated that administering Andrographis paniculata extract to the experimental groups led to a statistically significant increase in bodyweight for group 3 (167.33 ± 21.33) and group 4 (173.33 ± 17.63), as compared to the normal and positive control groups (p<0.05). The research findings demonstrated a clear association between diclofenac administration and cardiac damage, with a statistically significant elevation in blood concentrations of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, and malondialdehyde. Pretreatment with Andrographis paniculata resulted in a modulation of the decrease in levels of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and malondialdehyde (MDA) in group 2 compared to group 1. However, the administration of Vitamin E led to a significant decrease in serum total cholesterol (TC) level, triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, as well as an increase in serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) activity compared to the positive control. ....

"Sanggah Kemulan: A Sacred Shrine in Balinese Hinduism for Spiritual Connection with the Divine"
Authors: Nuriani Ni Kadek
Published: January 2024

The reverence for Hyang Guru and Tri Murti is an embodiment of the spiritual wealth and local wisdom in the religious practices of the Indonesian community. In the context of Hindu beliefs and culture, pivotal concepts such as Tri Murti and Hyang Guru assume roles of profound significance. Tri Murti encapsulates three divine facets: Brahma as the creator, Vishnu as the preserver, and Shiva as the destroyer. Conversely, Hyang Guru is perceived as a manifestation of divinity, embodied in the form of a teacher or spiritual figure. Sang Hyang Guru, originating from the oldest Hindu scripture, the Vedas, has existed since the creation of the universe. In Bali, Bhatara Guru is revered as an ancestor who underwent sacred ceremonies. Sang Hyang Guru is a central concept in Hinduism, considered the highest deity, creator of the universe, and the source of all knowledge, serving as the ultimate teacher for humanity. Sanggah Kamulan, introduced by Mpu Kuturan, aims to unite sects in Bali under the Tri Murti concept, comprising Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Sanggah Kamulan, a center for worship activities, signifies the transformed Tri Murti as manifestations of worship as meme-bapa raganta jati. Bapanta on the right symbolizes the father of the sky, ibunta on the left as the mother earth, and their union as raganta jati (Shiva) in the middle. The principle of meme-bapa raganta jati inspires its entire doctrine, with Sanggah Kamulan established in Balinese households before the introduction of Hinduism to Indonesia.

Willingness to Keep or to Give Up the Social Media for a Certain Monetary Compensation
Authors: Cagáňová Dagmar , Horňáková Natália , Galovská Marcela , Hruška Roman
Published: January 2024

Millions of people around the world use social media every day for various reasons, whether it is sharing information, self-presentation, filling free time, or communicating with friends. The use of social networks brings with it advantages, but also risks associated with information overload, loss of privacy, as well as fraud or criminal acts. Mostly young people are connected to social networks almost constantly and find it more difficult to give up using social networks compared to older age groups. The aim of the present paper is to find out the willingness of social network users to give up social network such as Facebook and Instagram for certain monetary compensation. The necessary data were collected based on a questionnaire survey within 4 months. A total of 2 095 responses were collected. The static methods Chi-Square test of independence, logistic regression and the statistical program SAS Enterprise Guide were used to evaluate the results of the questionnaire survey. Analysis of Maximum Likelihood Estimates was tested for five predictors: Age, Gender, Income, Activity on the social network, Number of subscribers on the social network, especially for the social network Facebook and Instagram. Based on the results of the questionnaire survey, it can be concluded that Facebook users (in all age groups and regardless of gender) demand a higher average monthly financial compensation for giving up the social network compared to Instagram users. The same conclusion follows when categorizing respondents into age categories. Regarding gender, women demand lower monetary compensation than men in relation to both social networks. There was a significant difference in the Activity predictor, where active users asked for a higher amount of money for the Instagram social network and, conversely, inactive users asked for a higher average monthly payment for the Facebook social network.

The purpose of this study was to assess the views of first-year university students in the northern macroregion of Peru on scientific research and to identify the ways in which these perspectives are influenced by demographic elements and specific dimensions related to research. For this purpose, a technique based on the sociodemographic study of data from 384 university students was used. Participants completed questionnaires designed to gauge their views on research in various aspects, such as writing scientific papers, being involved in research and being involved in initiatives undertaken by universities to promote research. Trends and correlations among variables were statistically significant. Positive attitudes toward research were more prevalent among women, students from private universities, and those under 30 years old. However, the research acts and parameters of universities were viewed with greater skepticism and ambivalence. It is necessary to adopt specific educational measures to foster a strong research culture, as student attitudes toward research are influenced by a mix of sociodemographic characteristics and academic experiences.

Published: January 2024

The managerial aspects of education are the backbone on which an entire educational system rests. They are the glue that holds many aspects of education together. Our article aims for objectivity and above all adds value to the acquisition of knowledge in the field of educational institution management through a quantitative methodology, based on a non-experimental correlational study. A sample of 96 principals from qualifying secondary schools (high school) in the Casablanca-Settat region of Morocco were surveyed, and were asked to complete a questionnaire. The results were processed using IBM SPSS Statistics 29 software. The results showed that the managerial aspect of school climate correlated significantly with the aspect of pedagogical innovation (23.3%), as well as with the aspect of adaptation to change (23.1%). In addition, there was a significant correlation between pedagogical innovation and ongoing training (30%), as well as with adaptation to change (36%). Continuing education, for its part, was 21% significant in relation to adaptation to change. These results make a valuable contribution to our understanding of school management, and underline the need to pay particular attention to these aspects in order to promote educational excellence.

Some Language Problems in the Spelling of Primary School Students
Authors: Morina Bytytçi Shyhrete , Kastrati Nexhmije
Published: January 2024

This paper addresses language problems among primary school students, particularly focusing on spelling. The research encompasses a broad spectrum of linguistic aspects, including the pronunciation of phonemes and morphemes, the utilization of grammatical forms, as well as spelling and language use. A thorough study was conducted in two primary schools involving fourth and fifth-grade students, to identify language delays, particularly in spelling and pronunciation. The comparison between these schools indicates more frequent delays in the linguistic skills of students at this age. The rules governing spelling and pronunciation play a crucial role in enhancing the linguistic culture of students. Nevertheless, the primary influence on a student’s language originates from their family and cultural background, expanding and evolving further through social interactions and the educational process. The paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of students’ language, encompassing oral expression, various tasks, literary works, phonetics, and grammar. It emphasizes that linguistic mistakes made by students in their family environment can persist and impact their primary education. The discussion also delves into possibilities for avoiding these language mistakes.

Analysis of Language Structure and Its Implications in Modern Linguistics: A Study of the Understanding and Application of Structural Linguistic Concepts
Authors: Juanda Juanda
Published: January 2024

Structural linguistics is a branch of linguistics which analyzes language from a structural point of view. It focuses on how language is formed and constructed, and how language can be understood structurally. This study analyzes the structure of language and its implications in modern linguistics, examines the understanding and application of structural linguistic concepts, and identifies how these concepts can be used to understand and analyze language. Saussure developed a theory about language as an organized symbolic system. He emphasized that language is a system consisting of components that are interrelated with one another. After Saussure, several other linguists also developed the concept of structural linguistics. Structural Linguistics has developed into one of the most important branches of linguistics. The contributions of Structural Linguistics have had a major impact on various fields. By analyzing the structure of language, linguists can understand how language develops and how language interacts culturally and socially. This has helped teachers, translators and linguists in developing languages and improving the quality of language teaching, translation and analysis. The application of Structural Linguistics has helped linguists a lot in understanding how language develops and changes. This theory has helped linguists to understand how language is influenced by social and cultural contexts, and how language is used to express meaning in different language contexts.

Non-Interiors
Authors: Balaban Büşra , Şenel Aslıhan
Published: January 2024

This text-based research essay, through the theory and practices of mapping, suggests a non-dichotomous conceptualisation of interiority. It offers to probe the potentials of ambiguities and multiple meanings of an interior rather than the traditional oppositions such as inside-outside, private-public, female-male invoked by the term interior. We argue that interiority is not a fixed entity but a continuously changing state through the relationships formed among the imagined, remembered, and lived spaces of a subject. Our research is centred around a study of filmmaker Chantal Akerman’s Les Rendez-vous d'Anna, which traces filmmaker Anna's encounters with hotel rooms, stations, and trains as she travels through different cities to promote her film. Akerman’s film introduces interiors provoked by uncertain and unfamiliar modes of interiority by interrogating its habitation through the peculiar tactics of filmmaking and viewing. By mapping this filmic interiority, we argue for ‘non-interior’ as a critical and creative way of approaching an interior. Non-interior is not the opposite of interior, nor an in-between position of interior and exterior, yet is concerned with what is unknown, what is excluded, and what is unheeded. It aims to theorise and practise an uncertainty of the interior without assigning a single static definition. The research of a non-interior offers ambiguity, multiplicity, and uncertainty to an interior, allowing us to explore interiority within gradual shades of its materiality as a room, a threshold element, or a piece of furniture.
Mapping came to the fore as a method of this research, which performs the filmic topography. It suggests an embodied practice of film viewing, including the authors’ analytical and emotional responses to the encountered representation of the interior. Mapping enables us to explore the potential of filmic representation to blur the presumed definitions and conventional boundaries of the concept of the interior. By mapping filmic interiors, we reveal ambiguous states of the interiors we encountered in the film and multiply their layers of uncertainty. These mapped uncertainties allow the interior to be questioned and the non-interior to be produced. In particular, non-interior draws on the non-dichotomous approaches in art and architecture such as Robert Smithson's ‘non-site’, Pascal Bonitzer’s ‘de-framing’ or ‘off-screen’, and Rosalind Krauss's ‘expanded field’ to explore ambiguity as a critical tool in order to understand the uncertainty of an interior. Mapping of non-interiors proposes architectural theory and representation that consists of fragmented, subjective, situated, and embodied knowledge of interiors.
Vacantly Occupied
Authors: Rebstadt Nicholas
Published: January 2024

This text-based essay investigates and makes uncertain public toilets through ficto-critical writing. The essay is a response to an experimental analysis where I vacantly occupied several public toilets around Melbourne, each for varied amounts of time. This embodied methodology allows the interior itself, relieved of any expected utility or function, to become foregrounded, eventful. The research builds on an existing body of research into the interior subcultures of public toilets and their representation in pop culture. ‘Vacantly occupied’ refers to the process of occupying toilet cubicles and making uncertain the binary of ‘vacant’ and ‘occupied’. To vacantly occupy queers the binary function of the cubicle lock, the toilet, design, and labour more broadly, and turns it into an open-ended situation. ‘Queering’ because it blurs categorisation — occupation without an occupation — and embodies a functional, utilitarian space in a deliberately a-functional way, as opposed to dysfunctional because design too often looks towards explicit function as reification of ‘good/bad’. I argue this kind of majoritarian binary qualification isn’t necessarily useful for queering, which unlike identitarian definitions of ‘queer’ resists certainty. This text deploys queering tactically to move beyond these dynamics in order to destabilise and make uncertain in both content and form, thinking design in different ways. Ficto-criticism is used as a methodology to develop two distinct perspectives: the author’s, and through its diverse language loosens normative interpretations of critical writing for the reader, creating a second. The style, much like toilet cubicles themselves, is at times messy, fragmented, and blurred, mixing academic, dirty, common, poetic styles attempting to resist cartographic objectivity in favour of a language that cultivates multiple perspectives that queer the form of a critical research essay. This is reflective of a broader argument that, in the case of public toilets, other viewpoints beyond dominant heterosexist norms are needed now more than ever, that other historiographies and perspectives that create uncertainty in how we assume, use, and design with logics, utility, function, cleanliness, and so on can be embraced to envision radically different interiors.
Whakamana
Authors: Archer-Martin Jen , Stokes Georgina
Published: January 2024

Socio-culturally restorative and ecologically regenerative futures for Aotearoa will be coproduced only in the context of mana-enhancing, Te Tiriti-led partnerships that embrace uncertainty and ‘possibilism’. What are the implications of this for spatial design pedagogy? In this text-based research essay, we explore how Te Tiriti-led pedagogy might be integrated in a meaningful and fundamental way in undergraduate spatial design studios, including projects in which students self-select topics as part of developing their own design identities. These types of projects do not lend themselves to external partnerships, being too broad in scope, not initiated by the partners, and unable to adequately ensure tangible mutual benefits, particularly within institutional timeframes. Te Tiriti-led futures, however, will require a diversity of practices, not all of which can be conducted within the context of direct cocreative partnerships.
This presents a particular pedagogical challenge: whether mana-enhancing partnership and ethical engagement with Indigenous knowledges is possible in undergraduate studio projects where the ‘partnerships’ are only hypothetical. We analyse a third-year studio in which we introduced an expanded model of partnership, combining identity-driven studentcentred pedagogy with Te Tiriti-led design for restorative and regenerative futures. This model rejects certainty/uncertainty binaries and reframes uncertainty as a fundamental condition of ethical engagement across cultural difference. We turn instead to Māori concepts of mana and manaakitanga, exploring ways to empower agency and overcome paralysis, and draft a relationally responsible framework for engagement with Indigenous knowledges. This employs a weaving metaphor that both protects the identity and autonomy of each knowledge source and enhances its mana as part of the woven fabric.
Offering this up as a case study of situated, ethical design pedagogy, we critically reflect on the effectiveness of these strategies, and find our own opportunities for transformational learning in the student work. We reject the toxic certainties of the dominant, degenerative paradigm, envisaging a joyfully uncertain pluriversal future in which ecologically regenerative and socio-culturally restorative processes facilitate human and environmental flourishing.

Authors: Ilham Bintang Pratama  , Saputra Ferdyan Pranata , Deden Sukandar
Published: January 2024

Jamblang seeds contain various bioactive compounds, one of which is phenolic. Phenolic compounds are known to have strong antioxidant activity, which can help protect the body from free radicals and oxidative stress. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage body cells and tissues, thereby contributing to various chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. The literature search process was carried out on various databases (PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar) regarding the analysis of total phenolic content in jamblang fruit seeds (Syzygium cumini). This study follows the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) recommendations. The total phenolic content of jamblang fruit seeds ranges from 100-500 mg/g. The highest total phenolic content was found in jamblang fruit seeds originating from Bogor, namely 476.18 mg/g. Jamblang fruit seeds contain quite high levels of phenolic compounds. The total phenolic content of jamblang fruit seeds can vary depending on the growing location, variety, and extraction method used.
A Shifting Capital of Religious Education in the Digitalization Era
Authors: Wiryadinata Halim
Published: January 2024

This study shows how the shifting capital of education aligns with the economic spirit in the digitalization era. The ideology of education, which supports the transformation of human resources to a better and fair world, has been shifted to the economic path due to economic and cultural triggers. The economic element shapes educational institutions' alignment in the labor market. The latter is to make the shifting capital of education move faster towards the economic demand due to the entrance of modernization culture in the form of digitalization technology. Furthermore, the development of religious education also gets the impact of digitalization era, but it still humanizes the humanity aspect as the novelty of this research. The sociological method is to be conducted to analyze and evaluate beyond the shifting capital of education. Critical thinking in the sociological method through Weberian rationality and bureaucracy is used to probe some possible answers to see the shifting capital of education. The result of this research is that the shifting capital of education toward economic and educational capitalism still upholds the humanizing humanity to work in the workforce field. The conclusion reaches that the shifting capital of education emphasizes the access of human resources to engage in the market during the digitalization era through the rationality of educational institutions.

In 1893, the World’s Fair was held in Chicago, during which a special building dedicated to women’s work was erected. Through the Czech expatriate community, the Náprstek Museum participated in the exhibition and sent a collection of embroidery called The Work of Our Mothers. Alongside Josefa Náprstková, Josefa Humpal Zemanová played an important role in the organisation of the event. For the Czechs, the exhibition was an opportunity not only to raise public awareness of women’s work, but also to promote national activities and to establish their identity in relation to Austria. The present study examines how the whole organisational process took place, identifies key participants and evaluates the outcome of the exhibition.
Odraz regionální a národní identity ve vlastivědných publikacích německých učitelských spolků v severních Čechách na přelomu 19. a 20. století
Authors: Mezerová Jana
Published: January 2024

The paper examines the involvement of teachers in the development of regional studies in North Bohemia during the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century. Teachers contributed significantly to the creation of works devoted to regional studies, which were often published by teachers’ associations. Through these writings, they actively disseminated content that contributed to the formation of regional identity. By presenting historical events and contemporary achievements, teachers sought to have an educational influence, strengthening the connection to the native land and in­stilling a sense of pride and rootedness among its inhabitants. However, it is important to note that these works focused on regional studies were influenced by the broader context of general nation formation, which had an increasing influence on the establishment of group identities during this period. Czech Germans were characterised by strong ties to specific regions and individual urban centres. The relationship to the Habsburg monarchy as the common “house” of its peoples became formalised during the 19th century. Over time, the German-speaking population of the Czech Lands made a deliberate effort to identify and define the elements of a common, unified identity, referred to as “Sudeten German” since the beginning of the 20th century.

A novel and efficient base-catalyzed, transition-metal-free method for the synthesis of diheterocyclic compounds connected by an amidine linker, including apart from the common 1,2,3-triazole ring, either an additional pyrimidinedione, 4-nitroimidazole, isoxazole, 1,3,4-triazole, 2-oxochromone or thiazole ring, has been developed. The process was facilitated by a strong base and includes the cycloaddition reaction of 3,3-diaminoacrylonitriles (2-cyanoacetamidines) to heterocyclic azides followed by a Cornforth-type rearrangement to the final products. The reaction is tolerant to various N-monosubstituted 3,3-diaminoacrylonitriles and to different heterocyclic azides. The developed method has a broad scope and can be applied to obtain a variety of N-heteroaryl-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbimidamides with alkyl, allyl, propargyl, benzyl, cycloalkyl, and indolyl substituents at the N1 position .
Ethnomusicology as the Ukrainian-Polish invention and common proceedings in study on ethnic musical cultures
Authors: Dahlig Piotr
Published: January 2024

The article discusses Ukrainian-Polish relationships in the realm of that traditional music culture which is deeply rooted both in natural and intangible values. It argues that the term and activities of ethnomusicology, formulated first in Ukraine (1928) then in Poland (1934), served as a means to gain or stabilize independence in ways of thinking and understanding their own cultures. There are presented common, parallel, similar initiatives and achievements in Poland and Ukraine pertaining to ethnic music cultures, their study and documentation since the beginning of 20th century. The text demonstrates a leading role of Ukrainian ethnomusicology in Europe on the assumption that traditional (folk, ethnic) music in the original, authentic performances helps better to understand past and present of culture of neighbouring countries than only spectacular folkloric arrangements for stage performances.

El presente estudio de investigación se fundamentó en el análisis sistemático de la implementación del comercio electrónico y el nivel de innovación y competitividad en las pequeñas y medianas empresas (pymes), las cuales, según el DANE (Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística) suman 1.449, con un total de 69 unidades productivas. A través de una metodología correlacional, se buscó establecer vínculos concretos entre la adopción del comercio electrónico (variable independiente) y el desarrollo de habilidades innovadoras y competitivas en estas pymes (variable dependiente). Este estudio seleccionó como población objetivo todas las pymes ubicadas en el Barrio El Bosque de la Ciudad de Cúcuta. Para asegurar una muestra representativa, se empleó un método de muestreo aleatorio estratificado, dividiendo las pymes en estratos según su tipo de industria y tamaño. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren una correlación positiva entre la adopción efectiva del comercio electrónico y el fortalecimiento de la innovación y la competitividad en el tejido empresarial de la ciudad.
Abstract
The present research study was based on the systematic analysis of the implementation of e-commerce and the level of innovation and competitiveness in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which, according to the DANE (National Administrative Department  of Statistics) total 1,449, with a total of 69 productive units. Through a correlational methodology, the study aimed to establish concrete links between the adoption of e-commerce (independent variable) and the development of innovative and competitive skills in these SMEs (dependent variable). The study's target population consisted of all SMEs located in El Bosque neighborhood, Cúcuta. To ensure a representative sample, a stratified random sampling method was employed, dividing the SMEs into strata based on their industry type and size. The findings suggest a positive correlation between effective adoption of e-commerce and the strengthening of innovation and competitiveness in the local business fabric.

El padre Sebastián Obermaier impulsó la arquitectura religiosa en la ciudad de El Alto con la edificación de templos, en los mismos se encuentra una característica en la composición de los muros que permite una reverberación acústica muy elevada, por lo cual, al momento de hablar, el eco es demasiado fuerte y limita la capacidad de escuchar claramente. Es por ello que en la presente investigación se buscará generar un prototipo de panel absorbente acústico que permita reducir la reverberación acústica en el templo de “Santa Clara”. Para lograr realizar estos paneles, se experimenta con cinco variantes de los mismos a escala reducida y se utilizan materiales reciclados como materia prima, para alcanzar el mejor resultado en cuanto a la densidad y porosidad de éstos. La investigación realizada tiene como propósito estudiar factores que permitan mitigar la resonancia acústica que causa la reverberación del sonido del templo “Santa Clara” de la ciudad de El Alto, con la implementación de métodos constructivos y materiales reciclados que permitan reducir la reverberación y mejorar la acústica. Es un tipo de investigación con enfoque cuantitativo de tipo experimental y como herramientas: la observación, por medio de instrumentos tecnológicos como son: sonómetros, analizador de frecuencias y calibrador acústico, que ha posibilitado la recopilación de datos y posterior procesamiento aplicando fórmulas pertinentes. Desde la metodología de Bruno Munari se aplica una Metodológía Proyectual.Se ha logrado descubrir el origen de la resonancia, se cumple en analizar cuál es la mecánica de la acústica, se sienta las bases de la información a cerca de materiales absorbentes, difusores y reflectivos, se alcanza en examinar las diferentes soluciones constructivas para mejorar el aislamiento acústico mediante la experimentación con cinco tipos de prototipos a escala reducida de paneles absorbentes acústicos hechos con diferentes materiales reciclados a partir lo cual se puede generar un prototipo a escala natural para ser producido en volumen acorde a la necesidad de las áreas a intervenir del templo. Con lo que la resonancia disminuye a parámetros establecidos.
