Authors: de Sá Ívero , da Silva Carlos , Nogueira Ana Rita
Published: May 2023

Two methods were developed for the As and Cr species determination in different kinds of seafood, exploring the LC-ICP-MS potential and chemometric approach to define the extraction conditions. Adequates separation and sensitivity data by LC-ICP-MS were obtained with 0.01 mol L-1 (NH4)2HPO4 in 1% ethanol (pH 8.0) for arsenic, and 0.015 mol L-1 Na2SO4, 0.005 mol L-1 EDTA, and 0.005 mol L-1 NaH2PO4 (pH 7.0) for chromium. The Doehlert matrix and Box-Behnken design defined the ideal extraction conditions for arsenic and chromium species. For As extraction, the optimized conditions employed 0.1 g of sample and 30 mmol L-1 HNO3 at 90°C for 45 min, and Cr, 0.1 g of sample and 0.045 mol L-1 [EDTA] at 90°C for 40 min. Recoveries from 88 to 106% of arsenobetaine (AsB), arsenite [As(III)], dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), arsenate [As(V)], Cr(III) and Cr(VI) were obtained for all evaluated samples. The limits of quantification provided by the proposed methods were 5.3; 52.1; 16.4; 2.8; 83.3; 113.8; 53.9 ng g-1 for AsB, As(III), DMA, MMA, As(V), Cr(III) and Cr(VI) respectively. The trueness was evaluated using certified reference materials and addition and recovery procedures. The sum of the species agreed with the total concentration of arsenic and chromium contents.

TRIGGERING FACTORS FOR SEISMIC ACTIVITY IN PRIAMURYE
Authors:   Kosygin Institute of Tectonics and Geophysics, Far East Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Merkulova T.V.
Published: May 2023

This study focused on the annual distribution of seismic activity in Priamurye. An increase in the released seismic energy was identified (M≥3) in 1970-1975, 1985-1986, 1994-1995, and 2003-2005, which corresponds to the peaks of seismicity reported worldwide suggesting that a global process, such as a change in the planet rotation speed, is involved in the initiation of sufficiently strong earthquakes under intraplate conditions of Priamurye. The maximum release of seismic energy occurs during the time intervals when the frequency value, and hence the rotation speed of the planet, is minimum or maximum, which allows this process to be considered an important factor for triggering an increase in seismicity of the region. The energy distribution of weak earthquakes by year (M<3), except for seismicity peaks characteristic of relatively strong events, shows an increase in seismic activity in 1980-1983, 1990, 1998, 2000-2001, and 2007, which corresponds to the periods of increased activity of deep-focus earthquakes in the Pacific subduction zone. This fact allows seismic activity in the Pacific subduction zone to be considered an additional factor for triggering weak seismicity in Priamurye.

We studied phenocrysts and melt inclusions in order to evaluate physical and chemical conditions of petrogenesis of the Sulawesi Island (southwestern Pacific) basalts. The compositions of the phenocrysts of clinopyroxene and plagioclase hosted by basalts of the Lokon volcano indicate two types of melts: primitive and differentiated. Primitive magmas produced high-anorthite plagioclases that are absent from the Lokon volcano andesites. The second type of melts produced compositionally similar clinopyroxenes and plagioclases of both basalts and andesites. Similarities in compositions of homogeneous glasses of melt inclusions in minerals from the Lokon volcano and other volcanoes of the Sulawesi Island and the SW Pacific suggest similar P-T conditions for the formation of magmatic systems. In particular, the data on inclusions demonstrate that basaltic magmas of the Lokon and Soputan volcanoes are primitive melts (SiO2 = 48.2–51.5 wt.% and MgO up to 8 wt.%), which is consistent with the content of other oxides. These inclusions plot at the beginning of the «andesitic» trends in variation diagrams. Accordingly, these melts could be primary melts for the development of the entire magmatic system that formed andesitic to basaltic effusive rocks of the Tondono caldera and the Lokon and Soputan volcanoes. Based on the compositions of both, melt inclusions and their host minerals in Lokon basalts, we concluded that clinopyroxene phenocrysts crystallized at two levels: 20.6–14.5 km (1150–1130°С) and 13–6 km (1145–1105°С), and plagioclase phenocrysts crystallized at 1160–1120°С. In general, our data on melt inclusions and phenocrysts indicate fundamental differences in the PTX parameters of the magmatic systems that formed basalts and andesites of the Sulawesi Island. The basalt-hosted clinopyroxene phenocrysts crystallized from compositionally stable melts at a slightly decreasing temperature with a significant pressure drop during magma ascent. Phenocryst crystallization in andesites proceeded differently: with delays at constant pressures in deep intermediate chambers and a significant drop in temperature, which facilitated the processes of fractionation and evolution of melts.

Published: May 2023

Despite statistics learning becoming more important during this information explosion era, many students still deem the subject complex and challenging. Measures of dispersion, a critical component of statistical knowledge that students often struggle with, have received little attention in research on statistics education. The goal of this study was to uncover students' errors in solving problems involving measures of dispersion by examining students’ response in the diagnostic test through the lens of APOS theory. The participants consisted of 85 grade 11 high school students and were then divided into three groups according to their performance to better understand the difficulties and errors made by students from different cognitive levels. The findings revealed that majority of low achievers operate at the action level, as indicated by the numerous conceptual errors discovered during the test. These students have limited conceptual understanding on the topic which required proper remedial from the educators. The study's results are discussed, as well as potential implications for education.

Students’ Preferences on the Lecturers’ Written Corrective Feedback (WCF) on Their Writing Tasks: A Study at the English Language Education Study Program (ELESP), Faculty of Education, Universitas Jambi
Authors: Adrefiza Adrefiza , Habizar Habizar
Published: May 2023

This study analyzes students’ preferences on the lecturer’s written corrective feedback (WCF) on their writing tasks. It looks at how the students want WCF to be written, delivered, and focused on to fulfill the students’ expectations. It also analyzes the students’ preferences on the use of English or Bahasa Indonesia in the WCF to accommodate their learning needs and styles. Through an internet survey delivered to 100 students’ emails, using 5 levels of Likert scales on preferences range, the results show that the students’ preferences varied in terms of types, focuses, and ways the WCF are provided and delivered. It is an evident that many students want the lecturers to provide the correct forms of the errors, to mark and to underline the errors with corrections, and to provide explanations for every single error in their writing tasks. A significant number of the students have a low preference for the use of indirect feedback through cues and prompts. Another interesting result is the fact that many students prefer WCF to be written in Bahasa Indonesia rather than in English. It is recommended that the lecturers flexibly provide WCF according to students’ preferences and expectations to increase their writing skills.

Published: May 2023

The present research is designed to investigate the attitudes of EFL Learner concerning corrective feedback. This research additionally analyses students’ characteristics that tend to receive offline or online corrective feedback and analyses the approach of sending feedback adjusted to learners’ exact needs. 75 research respondents were enrolled from Biak’s High School of Law, Papua. The researchers handed out questionnaires directly to the 5th and 7th semester students during lectures. There were eight questions provided for students to choose regarding corrective feedback. The findings of this research indicate that online or offline corrective feedback is very important for students because it can help students determine the correct linguistic form. Most students feel that corrective feedback is quite helpful for them because it can encourage students’ desire to learn. In addition, they also feel that corrective feedback can improve the learning process. However, some students feel that they are not serious enough when receiving teacher’s feedback because they have not been able to realize which ones can hinder or improve the language learning process. It seems clear that most students like feedback both offline and online. Thus, the results of this research generally confirm that students feel corrective feedback provides benefits in improving the learning process.

Published: May 2023

Levelling reading comprehension may help students learning and teacher course designing. This study attempts to portray the level of EFL reading comprehension in a public university in Jambi, Indonesia. The participants were 78 EFL learners who were registered in the academic year 2020-2021. The data were collected through administering a set of adapted reading test and calculated based on the indicator of the scoring system and criteria. These data were classified into each level of reading comprehension which is described in the form of percentage and presented through diagram and chart. The major findings of this study reveal that. 1) there were 77 or (99%) participants can complete most of the literal test items and they just achieved literal level of comprehension of reading skill. 2) there were 24 or (31%) participants were able to answer all inferential test items successfully and they just reach inferential level of reading comprehension. 3) there were 19 or (24%) participants can give their answer critically and they just obtained a critical level of reading comprehension. It is interpreted that numerous students were still in the position of the literal level which is regarded as a very low or basic level of reading comprehension. So, it is strongly recommended that EFL learners at Universitas Jambi require an intensive practice of reading to achieve a highest level of reading comprehension.

Rewards and Learners’ Engagement in L2 Classes: A Case Study in an Indonesian High School Context
Authors: Satoto Siaga Adi , Subekti Adaninggar Septi
Published: May 2023

The present study intends to investigate the types of rewards given to learners in English as a second/foreign language (L2) classes and L2 learners' views on the possible effects of rewards on their engagement. The study employed a case study design with class observations and semi-structured interviews as the methods of data collection. Indonesian high school learners at a private university participated in this study. Through the observations, it was found that learners received three types of rewards: verbal praise, non-verbal praise, and social reward. From the interviews, it was found that rewards could make the learning atmosphere more fun and competitive as well as increase learners’ attentiveness. Nonetheless, rewards alone were not sufficient to engage learners in independent learning requiring them to exert more effort in their L2 learning process. Overall this study contributes to the understanding of rewards in the Indonesian high school L2 context which is thus far fairly under-researched. Among others, this study concludes that teachers should know what kinds of rewards, when and how they are delivered to best achieve the intended effects. Suggested directions for relevant studies in the field are also stated alongside the possible limitations of this study.

Published: May 2023

Many scholars have conducted research on error analysis in English writing. However, scientific research on errors in using English verbs in terms of tense and aspect is still in its early stages. As a result, the purpose of this study was to identify the errors or mistakes in sentence translation from Indonesian to English that were related to tense and aspects. 25 English department students sat in the English syntax class and translated 12 Indonesian sentences into English. The findings reveal a total of 126 errors in sentence translation in terms of tense and aspect. The past perfect continuous tense, past perfect tense, present perfect continuous tense, future perfect continuous tense, future perfect tense, and future continuous tense are the most common errors. These findings indicate that the students were unfamiliar with the formulas and functions of these tenses, as well as aspect interpretation. As a result, English lecturers/teachers should prioritize English tenses and aspects for EFL students from the start.
 
REMOVAL OF PHENOLIC COMPUNDS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS BY ADSOPTION ONTO ACTIVTED CARBONS PREPARED FROM DATE STONES BY CHEMICAL ACTIVATION WITH FeCl3
Authors: Dhidan Samar K.
Published: May 2023

Activated carbon prepared from date stones by chemical activation with ferric chloride (FAC) was used an adsorbent to remove phenolic compounds such as phenol (Ph) and p-nitro phenol (PNPh) from aqueous solutions. The influence of process variables represented by solution pH value (2-12), adsorbent to adsorbate weight ratio (0.2-1.8), and contact time (30-150 min) on removal percentage and adsorbed amount of Ph and PNPh onto FAC was studied. For PNPh adsorption,( 97.43 %) maximum removal percentage and (48.71 mg/g) adsorbed amount was achieved at (5) solution pH,( 1) adsorbent to adsorbate weight ratio, and (90 min) contact time. While for Ph adsorption, at (4) solution pH, (1.4) absorbent to adsorbate weight ratio, and (120 min) contact time gave maximum removal percentage( 86.55 %) and (43.27 mg/g) adsorbed amount. Equilibrium adsorption data of PNPh and Ph onto FAC were well represented by Langmuir isotherm model, showing maximum adsorbed amounts of (185.84 mg/g) and (159.27 mg/g) for PNPh and Ph, respectively.
DOUBLE DIFFUSIVE FREE CONVECTION IN A PACKED BED SQUARE ENCLOSURE BY USING LOCAL THERMAL NON-EQUILIBRIUM (LTNE) MODEL
Authors: Mehdy Ahmed N.
Published: May 2023

In the present study, free convection heat and mass transfer of fluid in a square packed bed enclosure is numerically investigated. For the considered geometrical shape, the left vertical wall of enclosure was assumed to be kept at high temperature and concentration while the opposite wall was kept at low temperature and concentration with insulating both the top and bottom walls of enclosure. The Brinkman– Forchheimer extended Darcy model was used to solve the momentum equations, while the energy equations for fluid and solid phases were solved by using the local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) model.Computations are performed for a range of the Darcy number from 10-5 to 10-1, the porosity from 0.5 to 0.9, and buoyancy ratio from -15 to 15. The results showed that both the buoyancy ratio and the packed bed characteristics have significant effect on each one of the flow field, heat transfer and mass transfer.

中国华北地区的冬季数九歌：五九六九沿河看柳/溜？
Authors: YANG Zheng-Ling
Published: May 2023

中国华北地区、黄河流域等地广为流传的冬季数九歌（九九歌）里有：“五九六九沿河看柳”的说法。五九通常在“1月26日~2月3日”，六九通常在“2月4日~2月13日”。此时华北地区平均气温在0℃上下，柳树改变颜色的可能性不大。湖北以南，1月份平均气温超过0℃，“五九六九，隔河看柳”是合理的。限于历史资料，这里无法在进一步深入分析，例如历史上柳树的具体品种，春季发芽对气温的要求等。
