Applying Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Model in Family Court
Authors: Shelton Lawrence G.
Published: October 2024

he work of Urie Bronfenbrenner is a key framework in Family Science, yet there are many areas where it has seldom been applied, including in the processes experienced by divorcing families in Family Court. Acknowledging the paucity of scholarship applying ecological systems theory to these topics, the paper offers instructive interpretations of personal practice experience in these roles. Described are two of several career roles in Family Court available to professionals trained in family science and how Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems model of development is applicable in that work. Careers described are providing training and consultation for attorneys and judges and conducting custody evaluations. Bronfenbrenner’s model affords consistent and useful principles for both roles. The processes of separation and divorce are described as a series of ecological transitions that affect not only family structure, but the relationships that make up the family system, as well as family members’ participation in other ecosystems. Changes in relationships and ecosystems affect development by requiring individuals to adapt. Family Court itself is an ecosystem with roles, activities and macrosystem beliefs that are often stressful for family members and that may increase risks to family relationships and development. Discussion considers areas where Family Scientists can use Bronfenbrenner’s model to contribute to improved research and practice for divorcing families.

Published: September 2024

In modern vehicles, the collision detection system has become a crucial safety feature, mainly because after the evolution of autonomous and self-driving vehicles. It is proved to be very effective in minimizing the number of road accidents. This proposed system is a working model based system to detect the vehicle collision and give information to the authorities. This project proposes an automated system for vehicle collision detection during high traffic and inform the concerned people using the application. This approach will work on still images, recorded- videos and will detect, classify, track and compute moving object velocity and direction using a convolution neural network. By using YOLO, it will be able to detect the front and rear views of the vehicle and alert us in advance. The advantages of the proposed system are secured, interpretability, high accuracy, lightweight model & fast processing. Moreover, this system can be used in self-driving cars. Where it would analyse the collision possibility automatically and drive accordingly. It could be used in self-driving cars, traffic surveillance systems, traffic management, and automated driving applications.

Authors: Kiesel Kyle , Matsel Kyle , Bullock Garrett , Arnold Todd , Plisky Phil
Published: October 2024

Context

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSKD) are currently the leading contributor to disability worldwide. Unlike other prevalent and disabling healthcare conditions such as CVD, risk factors associated with MSKD are not commonly discussed or integrated into current medical practice, rehabilitation practice or wellness programs. The primary purpose of this review is to describe the known risk factors most closely associated with MSKD. The secondary purpose is to propose a clinical model to manage MSK health aimed at maximizing the healthy pursuit of a physically active and healthy lifestyle.

Evidence acquisition

In this review the most common MSKD risk factors, with a focus on those that can be easily screened in clinical practice are presented. The importance of understanding the magnitude and number of risk factors present as well as the multidimensional nature of MSKD risk is discussed.

Results

A total of 11 MSKD risk factors were identified. Most of the risk factors are modifiable, and the evidence associated with modifiability for the most prominent risk factors is reviewed.

Researchers have found that often patients are discharged from care with several known MSKD risk factors. In such instances, local pain and dysfunction are managed well, but expanding our rehabilitation care to include comprehensive risk factor management would ultimately benefit the patient and reduce healthcare costs.

Conclusion

The most common MSKD risk factors are discussed and a clinical framework to individualize intervention is proposed. Addressing key risk factors within rehabilitation may be an important step to reduce the enormous and growing burden these disorders are having on society.

The principal component analysis of antioxidant activities of Songgak, a
traditional herbal drink in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia
Authors: Dewi L.B.K. , Khusuma A. , Muliasari H. , Permatasari L. , Widodo H.
Published: September 2024

Songgak is a traditional herbal tea of the Sasak Tribe in Lombok Island, Indonesia,
formulated to strengthen people's stamina. Songgak is composed of seven kinds of roasted
spices: Piper nigrum L., Coriandrum sativum L., Piper retrofractum Vahl, Myristica
fragrans Houtt, Syzygium aromaticum, Elaeocarpus grandiflorus, and Helicteres isora.
This study aimed to assess the benefits of Songgak and its constituent spices by evaluating
their antioxidant activities, total phenolic content (TPC) and flavonoid content (TPC).
Antioxidant activity tests were performed on the water extract of Songgak, ethanolic
extract of Songgak, and ethanolic extract of seven spices of Songgak including 2,2′-
diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging, Trolox equivalent antioxidant
capacity (TEAC), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. The antioxidant
activity using DPPH method showed that the water extract of Songgak has a strong
categorisation of antioxidant activity with DPPH IC50 value of 63.78±4.29 µg/mL. The
constituent species of Songgak with the strongest antioxidant activity was S. aromaticum.
Total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) of Songgak tea were
26.85±4.29 mg GAE/g and 6.99±0.29 mg RE/gram, respectively. The correlation between
TPC, TFC, and antioxidant activities was determined using principal component analysis
(PCA). The loading plot showed that TPC and TFC were strongly correlated with the
antioxidant activity (FRAP method) of Songgak tea and its constituent spices. These
results revealed that the presence of flavonoid and phenolic compounds in the seven
herbal medicinal plants were responsible for the antioxidant properties of Songgak as a
healthy herbal drink. Therefore, consuming Songgak every day can be beneficial for
preventing various diseases involving free radicals.
Feminising Architecture
Authors:   , Newman Briar
Published: September 2024

There is a significant problem regarding a woman’s relationship with the built environment, with many spaces not considering a woman’s needs and safety. This greatly influences how women navigate space, as our movements and daily lives are largely affected by this, with our preference for operating within spaces in which we feel that we belong. Considering women’s spatial needs provides an opportunity for architecture to design safer and more inclusive spaces. It also creates questions around our chosen methods as designers, looking at ways to re-think the design process to create space that considers a woman’s perspective. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis will be to investigate how feminist spatial practices might help to develop a sense of belonging and safety. This thesis will implement a research-through design approach, creating three different designs at increasing scales to test methods of feminist spatial practices. The first design scale will explore the notion of safety through the design of an installation. The following design looks at a co-housing space exploring belonging within a domestic context. The final design scale looks at a community centre, implementing inclusive design techniques to explore belonging within the public realm. These designs, alongside the iterative testing methods throughout this thesis, show the importance of feminist spatial practices in designing more inclusive spaces for everyone.
Healing Cityscapes: Therapeutic Interstitial Urban Design for Health and Wellbeing
Authors:   , Hartnett-Poelman Caitlin
Published: September 2024

The provision of accessible and quality outdoor spaces are essential for mental health and wellbeing. Within the shifting contexts of global pandemics, the climate emergency, and densification of cities, more people than ever are being disconnected from their environments and are suffering from mental illnesses. Therapeutic landscape research has indicated that outdoor spaces designed for rehabilitation can improve users’ mental health, wellbeing, and recovery from illnesses. Whilst the application of this research is currently only understood in medical facilities, literature suggests the potential for a similar approach to be implemented in urban spaces for the benefit of the public. With increasingly limited space in city centres, this thesis will investigate the possibility of utilising urban interstitial spaces as locations for therapeutic landscape design where local communities can directly benefit. This research will adopt a design-led case study approach, encompassing several interstitial spaces (spaces between structures or objects, often abandoned or leftover after planning) within the Auckland CBD. Multidisciplinary literature review and analysis of existing case studies will be conducted to investigate the application of therapeutic landscape design in urban settings. Anticipated findings from this research include speculative design solutions for quality outdoor spaces that enhance wellbeing and foster a sense of belonging among urban residents. These design solutions could set an example of how unutilised and underutilised spaces in cities can be reimagined for the wellbeing of local communities.
Towards sustainable urbanism? An analysis of the revitalisation process for Naenae, Aotearoa-New Zealand
Authors:   , Algar Jessie
Published: September 2024

Transforming carbon-intensive car-dominated established suburbs to low-carbon, sustainable urban environments is a major challenge in the realm of urbanism and climate change mitigation today (Dunham-Jones & Williamson, 2009). Revitalising declining suburban centres to be vibrant mixed use, accessible places, where most everyday human needs can be met is a key way to subvert the dominance of automobility. With the market failing to compensate for this decline, the role of local authorities in revitalisation efforts is becoming increasingly important. Yet, under some degree of ‘austerity urbanism’ (Penny, 2017) in centralised Aotearoa New Zealand (OECD, 2017), the precise mechanisms councils have to revitalise are in question.

I review recent plans by Hutt City Council to revitalise the suburban centre of Naenae, in Lower Hutt, Aotearoa New Zealand. Ten semi-structured interviews with community members and local decisions makers, along with analysis of key documents, were undertaken, grounded in a critical theory epistemology.

I find that the primary way for councils to revitalise is through renewal of council services and infrastructure, for example the proposed new integrated community hub. The council, while framing the hub proposal as a ‘rejuvenation’ activity, has failed to consider the dynamics of the centre, causing wariness and some concern on the part of citizens as to council’s actual intentions. Other revitalisation activities, such as arguably token measures, outsourcing ‘activation’ to residents, and questionable enforcement of the district plan, suggest a low commitment and capability by the council to revitalise.

Poor consultation on the community hub demonstrates a limited democratic capability or commitment by council, further exemplified by their co-production of a ‘Voice of the Community’ report with a market research company. Siloisation within the council and between levels of government was recognised as a key barrier to revitalisation, resulting in a lack of collective vision.

If the goals of sustainable urbanism are being realised in revitalisation, then in the case of Naenae they are done so weakly. The ambiguity surrounding sustainable urbanism in the wider context of the revitalisation of suburban centres in Aotearoa-New Zealand is indicative of larger institutional quandaries and inertia regarding purpose. These wider implications need to be addressed in processes such as the current refinement of a National Policy Statement on Urban Development.
The Challenges and Countermeasures in Integrating Chinese Traditional Culture into English Listening and Speaking Course
Authors: Cheng Jiaxue
Published: October 2024

Foreign language education involves not only language education but also cultural education. It is the new mission of today’s foreign language education to integrate Chinese traditional culture into foreign language teaching and cultivate foreign language talents who can tell Chinese stories well and spread Chinese voice. As a basic course for English majors, English Listening and Speaking faces many challenges when it is integrated into Chinese traditional culture, such as complex teaching content, limited teaching resources, insufficient teachers’ literacy, and students’ listening and speaking difficulties. In order to solve these problems, teachers and universities should work together to sort out the connotation of Chinese traditional culture, develop audio-visual teaching materials, organize teacher training, and innovate teaching methods, so as to effectively promote the connection between Chinese traditional culture and English Listening and Speaking curriculum system.

From Control to Empowerment: A Paradigm Shift in the Discourse of Educational Supervision
Authors: Zhou Jinhua , Zhang Kai
Published: October 2024

As educational reforms intensify and societal emphasis shifts towards empowerment, the traditional discourse paradigm of management and control in educational supervision faces growing challenges. This paper explores the transformation of this discourse paradigm through the lens of empowerment, analyzing its distinct characteristics, potential pathways, and effective strategies. This paper begins by reviewing the concept of empowerment and examining the current research landscape surrounding the discourse paradigm in educational supervision. Subsequently, we conduct a comparative analysis of the “control” and “empowerment” paradigms, highlighting their essential differences. This analysis illuminates the key characteristics of an empowerment-oriented approach to educational supervision, particularly its emphasis on dialogue, collaboration, participation, and, crucially, empowerment itself. Ultimately, this research advocates for a shift in educational supervision towards an empowerment-oriented discourse system. This entails a multi-pronged approach: transforming ingrained beliefs, embracing renewed pedagogical concepts, fostering methodological innovation, and optimizing existing mechanisms and strategies within educational supervision. These changes are proposed to facilitate the more effective alignment of educational supervision with the pursuit of high-quality education.

Movies as an authentic input in L2 speaking class: A Dynamic Usage-Based approach in EFL teaching in Indonesia
Authors: Hoinbala Festif Rudolf
Published: September 2024

One of the characteristics of a Dynamic Usage-Based (DUB) approach to the second language is schematic patterns emerge through use and interaction where the intense focus is in input. Video or movie as an example of authentic input often provides a natural context for conversations to emerge among the students and teacher in class since students want to know or share their opinions about the characters or events in the movie. This recent study's objective was to demonstrate that movies or videos provide an authentic input in L2 class. This study's population sample was 30 students of the second-year English Education program in 2021 at Artha Wacana Christian University Kupang in Indonesia. A simple random sampling technique was applied to select this sample. The study was conducted over 12 teaching periods using the DUB approach, where the procedure was processed by a pre-test, treatment, and ended by post-test. The instruments used in this study were speaking class lesson plans and English speaking tests (both pre-test and post-test). The Mean and Paired Sample T-Test was employed in the data analysis. The result shows a significant difference between students' English speaking competence taught using movies and those taught using a conventional method. Therefore, using movies in classroom teaching is in line with the DUB approach as one of its principles is authentic input.

Published: September 2024

Although the preservation of the Indonesian culture is deemed beneficial, the lack of folklore texts readily available for instructional purposes makes teaching and learning the Indonesian culture challenging. This study aims to develop web-based teaching materials, integrated with Indonesian folklore for intermediate- level students of Indonesian for foreign speakers (BIPA). A Research and Development (R&D) method was employed with a 4D research model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). Four teachers and seven students were purposively selected, based on prior experience in teaching BIPA and ownership of a device and ability to operate a software. A questionnaire, expert validation sheet, users assessment sheet, and interview guide were employed to obtain the expected data. The results of the study revealed that all teachers had used textbooks and the Internet, but not all teachers used enrichment materials from the government. They further stated that they were interested in the development of teaching materials with folklore texts. The expert validation results showed that the developed web-based teaching materials was feasible with a very good predicate. Based on a limited trial (independently) by users, BIPA teachers and students responded that the prototype was feasible with a very good predicate
Engaging Novice Writers in Online Collaborative Review through Peer-Review Circles
Authors: Nur Sahril , Anas Ismail , Rahayu Rahayu
Published: September 2024

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, this article presents online Peer-Review Circles (PRC) as an innovative and collaborative approach to academic writing, mainly proofreading and copy-editing processes. It aims to engage novice second language (L2) writers in online joint review and increase their understanding of pre-reviewing scholarly papers before submission. The authors had observed that a large number of doctoral students are still considered novice writers. Therefore, there was a need for a practical approach to improve their review skills and engage them in online PRC activities. Grounded in Monologue-Dialogue-Discussion (MDD) Circles (Manning & Jobbitt, 2018), this article extends its potential to be adopted and used beyond the classroom and mandatory ELT contexts. MDD requires three consecutive stages: 1) primary reviewer’s monologue, 2) primary and secondary reviewer’s dialogue, and 3) writer and the reviewers perform a group discussion. These activities will help the writers to look after the manuscripts simultaneously from a PRC perspective. We also developed peer review Feedback Questions (FQs) to guide the reviewers to perform meaningful discussions. The output of the PRCs will likely be an initial review or a pre-evaluation process to improve the manuscript quality, readability, and publishability.

Published: September 2024

Digital literacy is a critical element of multiliteracy framework required to thrive in digital era and perceived as cross-curricular competencies, yet it is not adequately addressed in English language teaching. This paper explores the traits of the authentic academic digital practices in the course outlines of English language skills conducive for digital literacy development, examines the extent to which digital literacy are infused in the authentic academic digital practices of the English courses and proposes the procedure of infusing digital literacy in the authentic academic digital practices of English language teaching. The study employs content analysis to address the data—the traits of authentic academic digital practices in fifty-five course outlines of English language skills subjects from six English Language Education and English Literature Study Programs in Jakarta and West Java. The findings recognize the traits of authentic academic digital practices in the digital academic products, such as the answers to open-/closed-ended questions, essays, presentation slides, papers, videos, podcasts, recorded audio-visual presentations, and reports diversely used across the courses. These digital academic products are used merely as the media in which English is used; only English proficiency is highlighted. The underpinning digital competencies to create the media, the media creation process and the media as digital academic products are not sufficiently addressed and measured. Digital literacy is infused in the authentic academic digital practices of English language teaching through five stages of identifying the components of digital literacies and the authentic academic digital practices and products, analysing the descriptors of digital literacies components pertaining to authentic academic digital practices and products, integrating the descriptors of digital literacies into learning outcomes, embedding digital literacies into academic products, employing authentic academic digital practices in the learning process, and assessing digital literacies as cross-curricular competencies

Authors: Kocaman Rıdvan , Coşgun Melih
Published: September 2024

Sosyal medya son zamanlarda siyasi bağlamın önemli bir parçası haline gelmiştir ve hem seçmenler hem de politikacılar tarafından aktif olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, mevcut literatür, seçilen araştırma konuları veya ilgili makalelerde benimsenen metodolojiler nedeniyle politikacıların sosyal medya kullanımı etrafında oluşmuştur. Bu nedenle, seçmenlerin bakış açısını yansıtmakta eksik kalmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, mevcut çalışma genç seçmenlerin politikacıların sosyal medya kullanımına ilişkin algılarını keşfetmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bunun için sosyal medyayı aktif olarak kullanan, sosyal medyada politikacılarla etkileşime giren ve paylaşımlarını takip eden 18 katılımcıyla derinlemesine görüşme yapılmıştır. Daha sonra, verileri analiz etmek için nitel içerik analizi tekniğinden yararlanılmıştır. Bulgular, genç seçmenlerin sosyal medyayı kullanan siyasetçileri samimiyetsiz, yenilikçi, sosyal olarak uyumlu ve iletişim konusunda yetkin olarak gördüklerini göstermektedir. Sonuçlar, siyasetçilerin sosyal medya kullanımının genç seçmenler tarafından nasıl algılandığını ortaya koyarak ilgili boşluğu doldurmak suretiyle mevcut literatüre katkıda bulunmaktadır. Dolayısıyla bu çalışma, gelecekteki araştırmacıları, politikacılara seçmen davranışını etkilemek ve yönlendirmek için sosyal medyayı nasıl daha etkili kullanacaklarına dair kılavuzlar sunmak yerine, seçmenler lehine pratik sonuçlar sunmaya teşvik etmektedir.

Bu araştırma, örgüt kültürünün örgütsel muhalefet davranışları üzerindeki etkisini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Literatürde örgüt kültürünün işgören davranışları üzerindeki etkileri geniş bir şekilde ele alınmış olmasına karşın, adhokrasi, klan, piyasa ve hiyerarşi kültürlerinin içsel ve dışsal muhalefet davranışları ile ilişkisine yönelik çalışmalar sınırlıdır. Bu araştırma, işgörenlerin örgüt kültürü algıları ile örgütsel muhalefet davranışları arasındaki ilişkileri anlamaya yönelik önemli bulgular sunarak, örgütlerin daha etkili yönetim stratejileri geliştirmelerine katkıda bulunmayı hedeflemektedir. Nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini Ankara’da hizmet sektörü ve alt dallarına bağlı kamu ve özel örgütlerde çalışan işgörenler, alt kademe yöneticiler, orta kademe yöneticiler ve üst kademe yöneticiler oluşturmaktadır (n=386). Örgüt kültürü, piyasa kültürü ve hiyerarşi kültürü boyutları içsel muhalefet eğilimini anlamlı ve pozitif yönde etkilemektedir. Örgütlerde içsel muhalefet ve dışsal muhalefet davranışı doğaldır. İşgörenler kendilerinden beklenen yüksek performans ve rekabetçiliğin çalışma şartlarını zora sokacağını düşünmeleri sebebiyle içsel muhalefet davranışını destekleyici yönde eğilim göstermektedirler. Örgüt yöneticilerinin bu durumu benimsemeleri ve bu yönde muhalefet konusuna yaklaşmaları önerilmektedir.
Participación laboral femenina, servicios de cuidados infantiles y movilidad social en Nuevo León
Authors: Campos Vázquez Raymundo Miguel , Chiguil Rojas Francisco Atzin
Published: September 2024

Se estudian los determinantes de la participación laboral femenina (PLF) y su relación con la movilidad social en Nuevo León, haciendo énfasis en la importancia de servicios de cuidados infantiles. Se realiza un análisis de regresión lineal y LASSO para estudiar los determinantes de la PLF. Nuestro principal hallazgo es que aumentar el acceso a guarderías públicas se asocia con un aumento de 13.3 puntos porcentuales en la PLF de mujeres con dos o más hijos y que si todas las mujeres con al menos dos hijos tuvieran acceso a guarderías, la PLF de Nuevo León se podría incrementar en 3.3 puntos porcentuales. Posteriormente se estudia el rol de las guarderías en la posición socioeconómica de las mujeres, empleando un método de descomposición y un logit ordenado. Se encuentra que un mayor acceso a guarderías reduciría distintos índices de inmovilidad social entre 10.9% y 13.4%. Nuestros resultados muestran la importancia de un sistema de cuidados en términos de política pública.

Authors: Jyoti Prerna , Shakappa Devindra
Published: September 2024

Lipids play diverse roles in sustaining life, including energy storage, hormonal balance, and cellular communication. Alterations in lipid metabolism can lead to various disorders, including diabetes, atherosclerosis, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Among these disorders, lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) related to glycosphingolipids metabolism present significant challenges. This review systematically analyzes the current literature on LSDs, focusing on classification, clinical presentations, diagnostic advancements, available treatments, and emerging therapeutic strategies. Glycosphingolipids biosynthesis, particularly its role in viral dissemination and melanin synthesis, underscores its significance in health and disease. Additionally, the review delves into specific LSDs, such as Fabry disease, Gaucher disease, Sandhoff disease, Tay-Sachs disease, and Krabbe disease, highlighting their pathophysiology, prevalence, and treatment options. Enzyme replacement therapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are mainstays in LSD treatment, but gene therapy shows promise. Furthermore, the review explores the role of glycosphingolipids in non-communicable diseases like diabetes, cancer, atherosclerosis, lupus, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and influenza. Understanding glycosphingolipid metabolism offers insights into disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets, paving the way for improved treatments and ultimately enhancing patient outcomes.

Authors: Firdaus Nova , Suharno  , Buono Agus
Published: October 2024

Fish cold storage was built by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries in various regions as one of the implementations of the National Fish Logistics System policy, which aims to maintain the availability of fish for industrial raw materials and domestic consumption. The cold storage of 1,000 tons was established to become a role model for the government's buffer stock facility in the Jakarta area. However, its implementation is still experiencing obstacles because its use is not optimal and has not attracted the interest of fisheries players in the broader scope.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the contrarian strategy by demonstrating the existence of price reversal phenomena in winner-loser stock portfolios on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). This research differs from previous studies by comprehensively exploring the Indonesian stock market (IDX), which has characteristics distinct from developed countries. Thus, this research contributes new insights to the investment literature in emerging markets. The research approach is quantitative, utilizing monthly data in the form of stock closing prices from all companies listed on the IDX from January 2020 to June 2023, totaling 866 companies, with a selected sample of 670 companies. The hypothesis was tested using an independent sample t-test. The results show that the winner and loser stock portfolios experienced price reversal in the first month after the formation period. However, in the second and third months, the winner stock portfolio did not experience a price reversal but showed significant changes. Meanwhile, the loser stock portfolio experienced price reversals in the first, second, and third months after the formation period. Both portfolios exhibit significant differences in AAR and CAAR values, leading to the general conclusion that price reversal symmetry occurred. Such conditions present opportunities for investors or traders, serving as signals to make contrarian decisions buying loser stocks or selling winner stocks. This phenomenon also provides evidence of the winner-loser anomaly in the Indonesian capital market.
