Authors: Hariyadi Slamet , Wahono Bevo , . Suratno , Prihatin Jekti , Siswati Bea Hana
Published: July 2023

The study aims to investigate the importance of infusing SSI (Socioscientific Issue) into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)-based Biotechnology learning by capturing the perceptions of students in Natural Science and Social Science. This is intended to make learning more effective because it helps students to achieve the comprehension of the material being taught.  The research apply mix methods by capturing quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative data are collected from the percentage of answers from 291 students who have filled out quizzes through online surveys. While qualitative data is collected from garnering students’ answers through unstructured interviews. The results showed that students of Natural Science discussed biotechnology more technically and normatively resulting in product effects, while students of Social Science focused more on the policy and risk aspects of biotech products. It is the difference in perception between the two majors that requires the SSI approach to be infused into the STEM approach. The benefits of such infusionare improved students' HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills), which is in line with the current learning trend of the Industrial Revolution 4.0.

Authors: Moses Emmanuel , Lawani Kenneth
Published: July 2023

This study seeks to develop a framework that improves sustainable practices in government construction projects in Ghana, specifically housing or building projects when the nation is required to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), targets, and indicators. This study used semi-structured and open-ended exploratory interviews as qualitative methods to discover and obtain understanding of the subject matter by engaging six (6) industry experts. This study assisted in probing answers provided by the experts. Although the main study addresses seven research objectives, this exploratory study focused on the first three objectives and therefore addressed the first three research questions of the main study accordingly. Ghana government has made efforts to increase awareness of sustainable development goals (SDGs) amongst stakeholders, but there is room for improvement. This study identified six environmental, eleven social, and six economic factors that can promote sustainable practices in government construction projects in Ghana concerning UNSDGs 8, 9, 19, 11 and 12. The government of Ghana also has to do more to utilise a database system required by the United Nations to provide details on achievements attained on the UNSDGs 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 targets in different sectors, including the construction sector. This study engaged six industry experts, making generalisation of findings not possible. Many more diverse stakeholders are required to ensure this study is more representative across the country. The practical implications for this study are to increase SDGs awareness amongst stakeholders, utilise some provided environmental, social, and economic factors to promote sustainable practices, and improve the usage of database system in government construction projects in Ghana.

Objetivo: Investigar e comparar a atividade antiúlcera de extratos obtidos das raízes (Bpr-EtOH) e do caule (Bpc-EtOH) de Bidens pilosa, em ensaios de úlceras estomacais induzidas por etanol absoluto em ratos e na triagem toxicológica aguda em camundongos. Métodos: Para o ensaio antiúlcera foi utilizado o modelo de úlcera induzida por etanol absoluto em ratos (n = 4-5). Para a triagem toxicológica aguda foram utilizados camundongos machos (n = 5), tratados com dose única dos extratos separadamente com 2 g/kg, via oral (VO) ou veículo, monitorados durante três dias. Os valores de p < 0,05, pelo teste t ou ANOVA, foram considerados significantes. Todos os procedimentos foram aprovados pelo CEUA/UNINOVE. Resultados: Tanto o extrato Bpc-EtOH (150 e 500 mg/kg) protegeu a mucosa gástrica (ALU = 138,0 ± 30,5 e 96,3 ± 11,8 mm2, respectivamente), quanto o extrato Bpr-EtOH (50, 150 e 500mg/kg) induziu o mesmo efeito, porém todas as doses (ALU = 178,3 ± 10,0; 67,4 ± 9,5 e 35,5 ± 14,3 mm2,  respectivamente) foram significativamente diferentes do controle, e mais eficaz (Emax) que o extrato Bpc-EtOH. O omeprazol (ALU = 145,7 ± 19,9 mm2) também promoveu efeito semelhante aos extratos. A análise histopatológica das amostras do tecido confirmou a proteção gástrica. A dose máxima de 500mg/kg dos extratos é segura e não deve causar danos aos animais, uma vez que na triagem toxicológica, utilizando a dose de 2g/kg, não foram verificados danos importantes nem mortes. Conclusão: Ocaule e raiz de B. pilosa também apresentam princípios ativos com atividade antiúlcera, sendo que estão mais concentrados na raiz ou são diferentes daqueles no caule e, ambos, seguros nas doses utilizadas.

Nonstandard Numerical Scheme for a Predator-Prey Model Involving Predator Cannibalism and Refuge
Authors: Rayungsari Maya , Suryanto Agus , Kusumawinahyu W. M. , Darti Isnani
Published: July 2023

In this study, we implement a Nonstandard Finite Difference (NSFD) scheme for a predator-prey model involving cannibalism and refuge in predator. The scheme which is considered as a discrete dynamical system is analyzed. The performed analysis includes the determination of equilibrium point and its local stability. The system has four equilibrium points, namely the origin, the prey extinction point, the predator extinction point, and the coexistence point, which have exactly the same form and existence conditions as those in continuous system. The local stability of each first three equilibrium points is consistent with the one in continuous system. The stability of the coexistence point depends on the integration time step size. Nevertheless, the NSFD scheme allows us to choose the integration time step size for the solution to converge to a feasible point more flexible than the Euler and 4th order Runge-Kutta schemes. These are shown via numerical simulations.

Articles 31 to 34 explain that the responsibility for providing maintenance for the wife lies with the husband, and it is also explained in Article 31 that each party has the same rights before the law, then the husband is the head of the family and the wife is the housewife, then Article 34 explained that the husband is obliged to protect his wife and the wife is obliged to manage the household as well as possible. According to feminists, it defines marriage for women and men equally, so that the division of research between women and men causes women's rights to be unequal in society. Because women are not considered the main breadwinners, these provisions also place the wife economically and emotionally dependent on her husband. The purpose of this research is to find out the feminist view of the wife's work as the breadwinner for the family. This research method uses normative juridical. The data used in this study are secondary data as the main data consisting of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials and tertiary legal materials. The data obtained was then analyzed qualitatively. The conclusion is that the views of feminists on the role of the wife as breadwinner, in this case men are responsible for earning a living in order to meet the needs of the household or family. This division of roles between women and men causes women's rights to be unequal in society. Because women are not considered the main breadwinners, the affirmation of the husband as the head of the family and the wife as a housewife in Law Number 1 of 1974 which was revised by Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Marriage according to feminists is a tightening/restriction of the wife's functions and husband strictly. This provision also places the wife economically and emotionally dependent on her husband.
Universe as a Graph (Ramsey Approach to Analysis of Physical Systems)
Authors: Shvalb Nir , Frenkel Mark , Shoval Shraga , Bormashenko Edward
Published: July 2023

Ramsey theory is implemented to the analysis of physical systems. Physical interactions may be very generally classified as attractive and repulsive. This classification creates the premises for the application of the Ramsey theory to the analysis of physical systems. The basic notions of mathematical logic, such as transitivity and intransitivity, become key ones for understanding of physical systems. The Ramsey theory explains why nature prefers cubic lattices over hexagonal ones for systems built of electric or magnetic dipoles. The Ramsey approach may be applied to the analysis of mechanical systems when actual and virtual paths between the states in the configurational space are considered. Irreversible mechanical and thermodynamic processes are seen as directed graphs (digraphs). Chains of irreversible processes appear as transitive tournaments. These digraphs are acyclic; the transitive digraphs necessarily contain the Hamiltonian (or traceable) path. The set of states in the phase space of the physical system, between which irreversible processes are possible, is considered. The Hamiltonian path of the digraph arising from the graph uniting these states is a relativistic invariant. Applications of the Ramsey theory to the general relativity are possible. Reconsideration of the concept of “simultaneity” within the Ramsey approach is reported.
Excitation of Langmuir Waves in the Magnetospheres of AGN
Authors: Osmanov Z.N
Published: July 2023

In the paper we study the process of excitation of Langmuir waves in the magnetospheres of active galactic nuclei (AGN), by taking a general-relativistic expression of the GoldreichJulian density into account. We considered the linearised set of equations which describe dynamics of the studied mechanism: the Euler equation, the continuity equation and the Poisson equation. After solving the dispersion relation and obtaining the instability growth rate, we explored it versus several physical parameters: electron’s and proton’s relativistic factors and the mass and luminosity of AGN, which are supposed to be Kerr black holes. We showed that the parametric process of energy pumping into the Langmuir waves is very efficient and the electrostatic field’s amplitude will be exponentially amplifying, which might account for pair creation, particle acceleration and plasma heating processes in the nearby regions of AGN.

This literature study aims to review the literature relating to the effect of port facilities and service quality on customer satisfaction. The literature review was carried out by searching for articles published in leading and accredited journals. The results of the literature study show that port facilities and service quality have a significant influence on customer satisfaction. Complete and adequate facilities, such as parking areas, toilets and waiting areas, can increase customer satisfaction because they provide comfort and convenience for customers. In addition, good port service quality, such as service speed, staff friendliness, and punctuality, also contribute positively to customer satisfaction. Previous research has also shown that investment in port facilities and service quality can increase customer satisfaction. Customers who are satisfied with the services provided tend to return to using port services and recommend the port to others. However, there are several other factors that also affect customer satisfaction, such as the price of port services, port security, and ease of access. Therefore, it is important for ports to pay attention to these various factors in increasing customer satisfaction. In conclusion, this literature study shows that port facilities and service quality have a positive effect on customer satisfaction. Ports must pay attention to these factors to increase customer satisfaction and obtain long-term benefits for their business.

Authors:   Special Education Research Institute, Mun Kyung-Hee , Park Soon-Gil , Lee Myung-Suk
Published: July 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find out whether job stress and psychological burnout of early childhood special teachers affect happiness, and to suggest a direction for enhancing teachers' happiness by identifying variables that affect happiness through resilience. Method: A questionnaire survey was conducted on job stress, psychological burnout, resilience, and happiness among 97 early childhood special education teachers at 11 specialized childcare centers for the disabled in Gwangju and Jeonnam. Appropriate procedures for research ethics were passed through institutional IRB approval, and data were analyzed through multivariate analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation model analysis. Results: First, the higher the job stress, the higher the psychological burnout and the lower the resilience of the early childhood special teachers. She also found that the higher the psychological burnout, the lower the resilience, and the higher the resilience, the higher the happiness. Second, as a result of the structural equation model analysis of early childhood special teachers, the higher the psychological burnout, the lower the resilience. In addition, as psychological burnout increases, resilience decreases, and resilience has a mediating effect in the relationship between psychologicalburnout and happiness. Conclusion: The fact that resilience plays a mediating role in the relationship between psychological burnout and happiness in early childhood special teachers suggests that measures to improve resilience and program support are needed to prevent psychological burnout exhaustion in early childhood special teachers.

Due to the warm and humid environment of Bangladesh, it is highly exposed to occurring perpetuation of various viruses which cause diseases in crops. A huge number of crops are wasted because of these occurring diseases and it directly hurts the production rate and forces import of crops in bulkier amount. Unmanned aerial vehicle usage is one of the smart agriculture technologies being researched for agricultural applications (UAVs) in these days. UAV technology allows farmers to quickly gather information on field conditions by providing overhead images of their agricultural fields or even allowing them to zoom in on a particular area. Using UAV technology, farmers may identify specific areas that need immediate attention and perform the necessary agricultural improvements. Drones collect data that farmers can use to detect crop disease by applying deep learning algorithms to make long-term decisions about planting, land mapping, damage control, and other things. This research uses blockchain technology to establish connection between suppliers and customers by enabling information to be tracked throughout the supply chain and enhances food supply chain safety. It offers a secure method of broadcasting data, focusing on enhancement of supply chain management and prediction of crops which makes it possible to implement and deploy data-driven technologies for smart farming. The research uses UAVs as a means of collecting crop images, implements a prediction model using AlexNet CNN and analyses how it performs with a real Bangladeshi crop disease dataset to help farmers from excessive crop damage. Furthermore, the overall process is carried out using the Blockchain technology to enhance the existing supply chain management process.

РЕЗЮМЕ
Изучая исторические источники, мы попытались представить предания о
происхождении мюрона (мира) в армянской среде, а также библиографические
справки о его благословении и употреблении (IV—XVIII вв.). Согласно историческим источникам, в Армянском мюроне содержится часть освященного
пророком Моисеем елея для помазания, что придает ему большую силу. В библиографических упоминаниях в основном говорится о чудодейственной силе
Армянского мюрона, но случалось также, что было неуважительное отношение к мюрону, в частности у тондракийцев и павликиан.
SUMMARY
By studying the historical sources, we have tried to present the traditions
about the origin of the Holy Myron in the Armenian reality, as well as the bibliographic references regarding the use and blessing ceremonies of the Holy Myron
(4th—18th centuries). According to historical sources, the Armenian Holy Myron contains a part of the anointing oil blessed by Prophet Moses, which gives it greater
power. The bibliographic references about the Holy Myron mainly talk about the
miraculous power of the Armenian Holy Myron, but there were also cases of a contemptuous attitude towards it, in particular, by the Tondrakians and Paulicians.

Peningkatan pembangunan tidak hanya akan mempengaruhi kondisi pasar properti, tetapi juga proses penilaian properti khususnya terhadap aspek-aspek yang berpengaruh pada nilai properti. Tingkat heterogenitas pada komoditas properti yang tinggi, menjadikan penilai properti harus melakukan penyesuaian dalam proses penilaian khususnya pada pendekatan pasar. Dalam praktik penilaian, besaran penyesuaian masih menjadi perdebatan karena subjetivitas penilai. Penelitian ini mencoba menganalisis penentuan besaran penyesuaian lokasi, lebar jalan depan, dan posisi yang kerap kali menjadi permasalahan penilai karena rawan menimbulkan kebiasan dan subjektivitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan data yang dikumpulkan secara primer dan sekunder yang selanjutnya dianalisis menggunakan teknik regrensi yang dikombinasikan dengan matched paired sales analysis. Berdasarkan hasil yang diperoleh, posisi hook berpengaruh pada indikasi harga transaksi tipe perumahan sederhana. Lebar depan dan jarak ke POI signifkan dengan arah pengaruh yang konsisten dengan teori maupun praktik penilaian. Di sisi lain, hanya posisi yang berpengaruh terhadap perumahan tipe menengah mewah. Besaran penyesuaian dari ketiga variabel tersebut bervariasi pada rentang tertentu tergantung dengan kondisi lapangan.

Effects of Service Quality of Chinese Electronic Payment Platforms on User Attitude and Behavior
Authors:   Global Convergence Research Academy, Kim Mi-Jin
Published: July 2023

In recent years, electronic payments have gained wide popularity and become the main payment method for many consumers in China. China's electronic payment user scale continued to expand, and the electronic payment business scale and electronic payment amount continued to increase. Electronic payments have great potential and a wide market. As the user size and frequency of use increase, the volume of electronic payment transactions will continue to grow in the future. This study aims to investigate the effect of electronic payment platform service characteristics on user behavior through Chinese electronic users. A model was presented based on theoretical considerations on the service characteristics of electronic payment platfonns. The purpose of this paper is to find out how the electronic platfom1 and user behavior are related through an empirical analysis of the characteristics of the electronic payment platform. In addition, we want to identify the relationship between user attitude and user behavior. Electronic payment platforms are continuously adapting to the needs of society along with economic development. By analyzing the results of previous studies, the factors influencing the characteristics of electronic payment platforms on user attitudes were selected. This study used SPSS 23 .0 for basic statistics and Smart PLS 4.0, a structural equation program, for hypothesis verification. The electronic payment platform service characteristics were divided into convenience, security, reliability, and responsiveness. The characteristics of electronic payment platform services that affect user attitudes are convenience, security, reliability, and responsiveness. User attitude and user behavior have a positive effect.
Mechanical and Microstructural Characteristics of Rotary Friction Welded SS316L and Pure Copper with Added MWCNT Nano Additives

Published: July 2023

This study explores the novel design of geometric rubbing profiles on rotary friction welding for enhanced mechanical clamping in joining dissimilar alloys such as copper and stainless steel 316L. The clamping behavior of rubbing profiles could hold the yielding of the weld joint to a maximum level. An innovative approach to effective mixing of the weldment zone could be achieved through the definition of rubbing profiles. The effective dispersion of dissimilar metallic phases could be governed by the geometrical profile in achieving the intermetallic SS-Cu phase. Variations were made in welding parameters like tool rotational speed, upset pressure, upset time, friction pressure, and friction time to find the appropriate process for the four different rubbing profiles, namely helical fluke, plus, cylindrical, and flat to achieve a reduction in micro and macro-structural defects with strong weld nugget. Results show that helical fluke rubbing profiles were seen to have explicit values like ultimate tensile strength of 217 MPa (upset pressure), elongation of 9.8 % (upset pressure), and average hardness of 125 HV (friction pressure) at the weld nugget. Microstructural characteristics prove that the formation of IMCs through grain size reduction such as cementite increases the Vickers hardness of the weldment.

Craving and emotion-driven impulsivity dimensions (positive and negative urgency) have been suggested as factors involved in the progression of different potentially problematic behaviors. However, their role in severity of video gaming-related problems remains unclear. This study aims to assess the differential capacity of negative and positive urgency to predict craving and the number of internet gaming disorder (IGD) symptoms endorsed (as a proxy to severity of video gaming problems) in majoritarily non-pathological video-gamers. Convenience sampling was used to recruit 232 Spanish and 222 Ecuadorian frequent video game players. Mixed-effects generalized linear (GMLE) and mediation modeling were used to test moderation and mediation hypotheses regarding the association between urgency, craving, and endorsement of IGD symptoms. Results show that (1) craving largely overlaps with endorsement of IGD symptoms; (2) craving for video games is linked to positive urgency, but not to negative urgency, which reinforces the idea that craving, at least in mostly non-pathological gamers, is a positively valenced expectancy state; (3) positive urgency exerts an indirect effect (mediated by craving) on the number of symptoms endorsed; (4) negative urgency exerts a direct effect on the number of symptoms endorsed; and (5) urgency traits do not interact with craving to predict the number of symptoms. These findings are consistent with the proposal that craving is an emotional state, and that dysregulation of positive affect (as measured by positive urgency) influences its emergence and control. In addition, they support the idea that craving is a central feature in the emergence of IGD symptoms.
