Authors: Gularso Kurnadi , Subekti Imam
Published: May 2023

Background: An organization's survival, growth, and competitive advantage depend on its agility or ability to respond quickly and effectively to changes in its internal and external environment. Creating various innovations, including implementing new systems, strategies, and programs, requires creativity to run effectively. An organizational culture that is accommodative to the changes that occur is needed to make this happen. Many studies on communication and its relationship to organizational culture suggest a reciprocal influence between the two. However, the role of transformative communication carried out by leaders in creating an organizational innovation culture has not been widely studied. A research model was developed to explain the relationship between constructs based on an analysis of the employees of a public company in Indonesia.
Aim: This study emphasizes the role of transformative communication as a mediator of transformational leadership in achieving organizational innovation culture in the company implementing a new system.
Method: Analysis using structural equation modeling with partial least squares estimation was applied. This research contributes to the application of transformative communication more specifically.
Findings: The study's findings indicate that transformative communication plays a significant role in mediating the effects of transformational leadership on the development of an organizational innovation culture. This study concludes with some suggestions for potential future research.

Authors: Tjajaindra Phinawati , Djaja Benny
Published: May 2023

Background: Interfaith marriages occur in Indonesia, one of which is in the city of Surabaya. Once the marriage is valid, it must be reported to the Civil Registry Occupation Service and issue an Ottentic Deed. Authentic Deeds that are considered official must comply with the provisions of Article 1868 of the Civil Code. What is meant by official in this article is a notary. This is regulated in Article 1 Article 15 paragraph 1 of UUJN. The Notary Department plays an important role in the ratification of Marriage Certificates both of the same religion and different religions in Indonesia.
Aim: The author's purpose in creating this journal is to find out how interfaith marriage relations in Indonesia with the civil law of interfaith marriage and the hierarchy of laws and regulations related to interfaith marriage.
Method: The research method that researchers use is juridical normative with qualitative research.
Findings: The result of this study is that the Interfaith Marriage Agreement in Indonesia based on Law No. Article 16 of 2019 concerning Marriage clarifies the role of religion in marriage and the confirmation of faith, stating that a valid marriage is a marriage carried out according to the laws of each religion and its adherents. The state leaves the assessment of the validity of marriage to the religion and beliefs of the people concerned.  Thus, Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Marriage is a standard that regulates not prohibits. The state does not prohibit individuals from interfaith marriages.

Authors: Kostyukova Svetlana
Published: May 2023

This article presents an algorithm for choosing the type of credit policy of a construction organization. The application of the developed algorithm allows the contractor to determine that the deferred payment by the customer leads to an increase in the period for the contractor to break even and at the same time delay the moment of making a profit in real money. A matrix for choosing the type of credit policy by the contractor is proposed, which is an effective tool for making decisions by the contractor on participation in contract bidding on the terms put forward by the customer based on the estimated indicators, both in case of a decrease in the contractor's business activity, in an unfavorable economic situation, and in conditions of economic growth.

Published: May 2023

Shallot is a horticultural commodity that has good market prospects because it contains high nutrition and can be used as spices and ingredients for traditional medicine. However, shallot production in Indonesia still often fluctuates and even experiences a shortage in meeting the needs of domestic consumers. To increase shallot production, this can be done through intensification efforts, namely by improving cultivation techniques, such as the use of organic fertilizers, proper fertilization, and the use of superior varieties. This study used a factorial randomized block design consisting of 2 treatment factors, namely factor I, fermented NPK ( F) consisting of 0 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml and 750 ml. Factor II was the variety (V) of the Brebes Bima variety, the Probolinggo variety and the Nganjuk variety. The parameters of plant observation were: plant height (cm) and production per plot (g). The data analysis method was a factorial randomized block design (RBD). The results showed that the application of fermented NPK and the use of varieties had a very significant effect on the parameters of plant height (cm) and production per plot (g).
Paper Bridge to Japan: Reviewing the Relevance of Manga in Spreading Japanese Cultural Identity
Authors: Shahiwala Sofiya
Published: May 2023

Originally intended to be a leisurely comic strip with paintings and pictorial representations, manga has emerged as a ‘soft power’ of modern-day Japan. As the world’s largest manga exporter today, the country is considered to be a manga superpower. Its influence on a fanbase spread across the globe has proved to be a noteworthy component in developing cross-cultural empathy within the readers. Despite its traction, the genre entered the literati only recently. Many researchers have analysed the influence of Japanese traditions, history as well as culture upon modern-day manga and their adaptations. Several researchers have also attempted to study the intercultural translation of manga and the influence of manga across countries. The growing emergence of cultural studies as a field of enquiry and manga as a cultural and literary product provides the base for the current article. With the country’s hybrid culture filled with urban and modern legends, myths, traditions and folklore, most of the stories created in manga are steeped in indigenous culture and are combined with modern lifestyle to create a unique reading experience. This renders these graphic novels as cultural products of manga, which are commodified and read throughout the world. The present article acts as a review of contemporary research in the field of manga as a cultural product and identifies its relevance in spreading Japanese cultural identity, thereby contributing to a global cultural identity. The study opens up new lenses to look at manga as cultural products of the 21st century and broadens the scope of recognizing individual and collective manga series for further research as expounders of Japanese cultural identity.

BACKGROUND: Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) are considered a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, although data from Africa are limited. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and determinants of CRDs in Khartoum, Sudan.METHODS: Data were
collected from 516 participants aged ≥40 years, who had completed a questionnaire and undertook pre- and post-bronchodilator spirometry testing. Trained field workers administered the questionnaires and conducted spirometry. Survey-weighted prevalence of respiratory symptoms and spirometric
abnormalities were estimated. Regression analysis models were used to identify risk factors for chronic lung diseases.RESULTS: Using the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988–1994 (NHANES III) reference equations, the prevalence of chronic airflow obstruction
(CAO) was 10%. The main risk factor was older age, 60–69 years (OR 3.16, 95% CI 1.20–8.31). Lower education, high body mass index and a history of TB were also identified as significant risk factors. The prevalence of a low forced vital capacity (FVC) using NHANES III was 62.7%
(SE 2.2) and 11.3% (SE 1.4) using locally derived values.CONCLUSION: The prevalence of spirometric abnormality, mainly low FVC, was high, suggesting that CRD is of substantial public health importance in urban Sudan. Strategies for the prevention and control of these problems are
needed.
APPLICATION OF WOOD-BASED SEISMIC RETROFITTING TECHNIQUES ON EXISTING TIMBER AND MASONRY STRUCTURES: DESIGN STRATEGIES, MODELLING APPROACHES AND PRACTICAL BENEFITS FOR TWO CASE-STUDY BUILDINGS
Authors: Mirra Michele , Gerardini Andrea , Ravenshorst Geert , van de Kuilen Jan-Willem
Published: May 2023

Reversible retrofitting techniques for protecting architectural heritage against seismic events have found increasing application in existing or historical buildings. In this framework, the use of wood-based strengthening solutions for both timber and masonry structures has shown promising results, as proved by several recent research studies. Starting from these outcomes, the present work aims at highlighting the potential of such timber-based retrofitting methods from both the academic and the professional perspective, considering two case-study buildings: a stone-masonry church from 18th century with a timber roof, and a Venetian sawmill composed of masonry and timber structural portions. In the first case-study building, the church of St. Andrew in Ceto (province of Brescia, Italy), the lack of joints among the roof timber members and the masonry walls, as well as the in-plane flexibility of the roof structure itself, made the church vulnerable to seismic actions and prone to local out-of-plane masonry collapses. The second case-study building, the sawmill of Vallaro (province of Brescia, Italy), was composed of two building units, one featuring mainly timber structural elements, the other consisting of masonry walls and a wooden roof. This second intervention was very complex, because of the different materials involved, their conservation state, and the need to transform part of the building in a museum, with increased design static and seismic loads. For both case studies, timber-based seismic retrofitting interventions were applied, consisting of the addition of new wooden members, and the use of plywood panels and cross-laminated timber elements. This work presents and discusses the adopted design and modelling strategies, as well as the practical benefits of the applied solutions. The present study can thus contribute to the promotion of timber-based techniques in the combined structural, seismic, and conservation upgrading of existing buildings belonging to the architectural heritage of seismic-prone countries.
ASSESSING LIQUEFACTION IN GRAVELLY SOILS BASED ON FIELD CASE HISTORIES
Authors: Rollins Kyle , Roy Jashod
Published: May 2023

Gravelly soils have liquefied at multiple sites in at least 27 earthquakes over the past 130 years. These gravels typically contain more than 25% sand which lowers the permeability and makes them susceptible to liquefaction. Developing a reliable, cost-effective liquefaction triggering procedure for gravelly soils has been a challenge for geotechnical engineers. Typical SPT- or CPT-based correlations can be affected by large-size gravel particles and can lead to erroneous results. To deal with these problems, we have developed liquefaction triggering curves for gravelly soils based on (1) shear wave velocity (Vs) and (2) a large diameter cone penetrometer. With a cone diameter of 74 mm, the Chinese Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (DPT) is superior to smaller penetrometers and can be economically performed with conventional drilling equipment. Using logistic regression analysis, the DPT has been directly correlated to liquefaction resistance at sites where gravels did and did not liquefy in past earthquakes. Probabilistic liquefaction resistance curves were developed based on 137 data points from 10 different earthquakes in seven countries. Using a similar data set, probabilistic liquefaction triggering curves were also developed based on Vs measurements in gravelly soils. The Vs-based liquefaction triggering curves for gravels shift to the right relative to similar curves based on sands. New magnitude scaling factor (MSF) curves have also been developed specifically for gravel liquefaction which were found to be reasonably consistent with previous curves for sand.
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF CHEVRON BRACED FRAME AND TADAS DAMPER ON SEISMIC RESPONSE OF STEEL MRFs
Authors: Grubišić Marin , Pervan Benjamin , Guljaš Ivica
Published: May 2023

The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of seismically strengthening existing steel frames. Through computational analysis of the existing bare frame, two methods of seismic strengthening are proposed. The expected behaviour of each of the three tested steel frames was determined through an initial iterative calculation using numerical models. The dimensions for the two types of strengthening were established based on numerical analysis of the bare frame: one utilizing a specialized inverted V-bracing (Chevron) system, and the other utilizing a dissipative TADAS connection. Following the design of the strengthening, three frames were subjected to static reversed cyclic displacement control tests up to failure, according to FEMA 461. The experimental testing of the bare frame (BF) and TADAS frame (TF) was halted due to the emergence of significant global out-of-plane instability, and testing of the Chevron frame (CF) was discontinued following a brace tensile failure. The ductility of the Chevron frame (CF) is found to be 0.6 times lower, while that of the TADAS frame (TF) is 1.4 times higher in comparison to the bare frame (BF). The initial stiffness of the system is 5 times higher in the CF and 2 times higher in the TF than that of the BF. The cyclic responses of the specimens exhibit a symmetrical behaviour. The TADAS frame dissipates 4 times more energy at the point of failure (brace fracture vs out-of-plane instability) than the CF. Careful design of the braces and plates of the TADAS element is necessary to maintain the plasticization hierarchy.

After a long period of inactivity, strong seismic events occurred in Croatia. Due to the extensive damage caused by the recent earthquakes, a significant phase of reconstruction and strengthening follows. Determining the actual seismic behavior of existing masonry structures is of great importance for future management and the economical and purposeful strengthening of the load-bearing structure. Modern software solutions and design methods are an essential part of the assessment, but they are only as useful as long as the input parameters are reliable. This is where in-situ test methods come into play, providing useful information about the mechanical properties of the structure. In the paper, the flat-jack method and sonic pulse velocity method are described in more detail and the results of certain tests are presented and compared.

Published: May 2023

Construction of modern, seismically safe bridge structures represents a permanent activity of the highest importance because bridge structures are important key elements responsible for providing continuous functioning of integral highway infrastructure systems. An extensive experimental and analytical research led by the third author was performed in the Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology (IZIIS), Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, lasting three and a half years, in the frames of the innovative NATO Science for Peace Project “Seismic Upgrading of Bridges in South-East Europe by Innovative Technologies (SFP: 983828)”, involving five countries. The specific project part included development of the innovative upgraded seismically isolated system USI with vertical multi gap V-MG representing an advanced technology for seismic isolation and seismic protection of bridges. By integrating the new uniform, vertical multi-gap (V-MG) energy dissipation devices, qualitative advances of the USI-V-MG system were achieved. The original observations resulting from the conducted complex, unique and critical near resonance shaking table tests of the constructed large-scale bridge model are presented and discussed in this paper. The extensive experimental research program was realized on a bridge model constructed by using the seismically isolated system upgraded with uniform vertical multi-gap energy dissipation devices (USI-V-MG). The installed adaptive system for seismic protection of bridges utilizes originally produced double spherical rolling seismic bearings (DSRSB) as seismic isolators, while qualitative improvement of the seismic performances is achieved through the use of novel, uniform vertical multi-gap energy dissipation (V-MG-ED) devices.

Published: May 2023

The traces of liquefaction were recognized in the area of Zagreb in the Sava valley in previous earthquakes and liquefaction can be expected in future earthquakes as well similar to the many cases which occurred in the Petrinja earthquake. Therefore, it is useful to have a tool allowing quick identification of susceptibility to liquefaction in larger areas. CPTU testing covers many aspects of soil behaviour and enables the estimation of parameters needed in liquefaction susceptibility analysis. During the 2010-2011 series of earthquakes in Christchurch and Canterbury, New Zealand, a very rich dataset was collected that links soil data obtained by the CPTU, earthquake data, and on-site liquefaction manifestations – or lack of it. An artificial neural network was developed from these data. In addition to the description of location and time, the data contains CPTU measurements, earthquake magnitude, medial peak ground acceleration, its standard deviation, groundwater depth and classification of the manifestation of liquefaction on the ground surface. The data collected after the Petrinja earthquake – obtained from CPTU tests and from analysis of the manifestations of liquefaction and the available data on the earthquake – are used in the developed artificial neural network.

Abstract

Nanotechnology is an engineering technology on materials into atomic or molecular sizes. One of the unique properties of nanomaterials is that have a large surface fraction and high surface performance. This study aims to determine the effect of the addition of nanomaterials on hot mix asphalt (AC-WC). The nano material used is silica from Bangka Belitung quartz sand which is processed into nano silica by Balai Besar Keramik Bandung. The asphalt used in the mixture is asphalt pen 60/70 produced by Pertamina. Nano silica is used as a filler substitution so that is can reduce the asphalt content which could be seen from the optimum asphalt content value with mixed variations of 1%, 2%, 3% nano silica when compared to conventional asphalt mixtures. In addition, using different compactor has an effect on nano silika mixture asphalt density. It can be seen that density value from superpave gyratori compactor (SGC) is lower than marshall compactor.

M. de Tucumán, Tucumán, Argentina. *E-mail: mhilal@csnat.unt.edu.ar Abstract Context: Olive cake and olive mill wastewater are by-products of olive oil industries. Olive cake is not currently being exploited. Aims: To evaluate the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity induced in Allium cepa root meristems by olive cake in various preparations (aqueous dilutions of olive cake and mixtures of olive cake with soil before and after a composting process). Methods: Olive cake aqueous dilutions as well as fresh and composted olive cake – soil mixtures were obtained. Samples were assayed on Allium cepa L roots and the phenolic content was also determined. Results: Aqueous dilutions showed acute genotoxicity with a mitotic index dramatic reduction and a high number of cell abnormalities. Olive cake induced chromosome aberrations such as bridges, stickiness, and laggard chromosomes and cell aberrations such as strap, folded, giant and binucleated cells. Anomalies increase with polyphenol concentration, both in aqueous dilutions and in mixtures of olive cake – soil without composting. Composted mixtures did not exhibit cell toxicity up to 10% of olive cake although they can decrease the mitotic index, which would produce a reduction in plant growth. Conclusions: Results indicate the varied behavior of olive cake according to sample preparation and suggest the possible use of this by-product incorporated to soils and subjected to composting.
Islamization of Knowledge and It’s Grounding: Appraisal and Alternative
Authors: Hanafi Sari
Published: May 2023

In recent decades, there has been much discussion on 'Islamically-grounding' the social sciences, which some researchers have described as being traditionally 'Western' in nature. This debate among Muslims flourished in the early nineties, taking place in books, articles and doctoral theses. As a sociologist, I have no qualms about using the terms 'Islamic', 'Arab', or 'Lebanese' to describe some social sciences and for some of the concepts and theories of these sciences to be inspired by the Islamic heritage and these societies. However, through a content analysis of articles, books and masters and PHD theses that adopt this orientation, as well as through interviews with some of the proponents of the Islamization of Knowledge (IoK) or Islamic grounding (ta’sil) of knowledge, I show that adding a geographical or religious adjective to the social sciences creates real problems. This paper describes and presents a synthesis of this literature, analyzes some of its problems and ponders whether the project to 'Islamize' knowledge is truly necessary or instead serves as a sort of identity politics. Based on this analysis, this paper suggests a new approach that I call 'separation, connection and pluralistic praxis' as an alternative to IoK and similar projects.

Authors: Huda Fahmi Alamil , Kurnia Andiyani
Published: May 2023

The objective of this paper is to redesign the Indonesian pension fund's business model and management system, and develop new strategies to balance profits, affordability, and sustainability. The authors consider the Malaysian pension system and adapt the INTERDAP application used by PT. Angkasa Pura II. Through this qualitative case study, we apply the foundations of the Triangle Syariah Justice Ecosystem (TSJE) to digitize the pension system and support green investment in the long run by modeling the business strategy, facilitating the business model and supplier relationship management, and creating mutually beneficial management among stakeholders. The study found that Malaysia's pension system has an investment purpose, while that of Indonesia only provides pension loans based on previously agreed cumulative contributions. Malaysia encourages people across the country to save on severance funds, and the pension system is still managed conventionally. Malaysia requires a pension contribution of 23 percent of the employee's base salary, while Indonesia requires a meagre 3 percent. This affects the contribution of pension funds to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with Malaysia's pension fund accounting for 60 percent of GDP but Indonesia’s accounting for only 6 percent. The authors also consider that to become a developed country, pension funds need to reach 60 percent of GDP by 2045, because 42 percent of the total supply of funds in the infrastructure sector originates from pension funds. The practical implications of this study are on access to information, security, and transparency in the management of pension funds through a digital system supervised by the Syariah Regulator, alongside the Indonesian government's efforts to realize support for the green economy.
The Complexities of the Mother’s Role in Providing Early Childhood Learning Experiences for Children with Developmental Delays
Authors: Rosepti Popi
Published: May 2023

The mothers’ role in bringing up children with developmental delays seems to be challenging. Problems when they decide to access occupational therapy to help their children’s development have been revealed. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the common complexities that mothers experience while taking their children to occupational therapy as a rehabilitation program to deal with developmental delays. As well, it also describes mothers’ personal efforts in tackling those complexities. Five semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight mothers and Colaizzi’s method was used to analyze the data as proposed by the phenomenological approach. The results reveal that mothers experience complexities when their children are diagnosed as having developmental delays. These include sadness and shock, panic and confusion, and guilt. Other difficulties include time management, cost demands, and support systems related to the therapy process. In tackling those complexities, mothers need to build their capacity for self-efficacy and self-empowerment as well as try to accept their children’s condition and to change habits as recommended by therapists. Not only describing the phenomenon, this study also analyzed some developmental screening tests applied in different countries to come up with new models of preventive actions in Indonesia.
The Muslim Brotherhood: From the Caliphate to the Modern Civic State
Authors: Sayed Mohamed
Published: May 2023

The Muslim Brotherhood plays a prominent role in the politics of many Muslim countries as one of the largest Islamist groups. As a politico-social movement, the Muslim Brotherhood has gone through many tactical and ideological shifts over the past 90 years since its founding in 1928. Studying these shifts and the reasoning behind them can help us to understand the behaviour of certain groups. This paper studies one of the major shifts in the discourse of the movement, from the advocacy for restoring the Caliphate to the call for a modern civic state, despite the idea of the Caliphate having been one of the core motives behind the founding of the Brotherhood. This paper traces the change in Muslim Brotherhood discourse of the Caliphate through a thick analysis of the writings and statements of the prominent leaders of the group, starting with Brotherhood’s founder, al-Banna, and progressing to the leaders of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution.  This paper examines this shift’s degree of significance and its underlying rationale. Instead of addressing changes collectively, each change is considered individually to gain further insight into the incentives driving the major shift under study, namely the overhaul of the political discourse of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood in so far as shifting from adopting the caliphate to the modern civic state. This shift in the Caliphate discourse is approached singularly, opening room for exclusive explanations that are unique to the altered concept. While a wholesale approach that treats changes as a collective succeeds in explaining the changes within some social and political movements, it ignores substantial factors and elements that are advantageous for profound understanding of the case in question. The shift in the Caliphate discourse, though it was not significant in practice, is useful in suggesting an alternative method for the justification of tactical and ideological shifts of the Muslim Brotherhood.

This study was designed to evaluate the antiplasmodial activities of aqueous leaf extracts of Ficus trichocarpa and Lasianthera africana on chloroquine-sensitive Plasmodium berghei berghei (NK65) infected male albino mice. P. berghei was obtained from National Institute for Medical Research, Lagos, Nigeria, and maintained in the laboratory by serial passage in mice. Chemo-suppressive, prophylactic, and curative procedures were used to appraise the antiplasmodial potentials of the extracts. A total of 305 albino mice were used for this study. Forty-five albino mice which were divided into 9 groups were used for the acute toxicity study of F. trichocarpa and L. africana. For chemo-suppressive and prophylactic assessment, 180 albino mice were divided into 2 sets of 90 rats grouped into 6 of five albino mice each respectively, while 70 mice were used for the curative assessment. The remaining 10 infected mice served as donor mice. The infected mice were orally treated daily with 5 mg kg‾1 chloroquine 500, 1000, 1500, and 2000 mg kg‾1 bodyweight of F. trichocarpa and L. africana respectively, and a combined extract of F. trichocarpa and L. africana in a 1:1 ratio. The In vivo antiplasmodial effect of L. africana extract against P. berghei infection showed a significant (p˂0.05) dose-dependent schizonticidal activity for the prophylactic test. The percentage suppression of the malarial parasite by F. trichocarpa and L. africana after a 4-day treatment followed a dose-dependent manner and were significantly (p˂0.05) higher than the percentage suppression of groups treated with the combined extracts.  Results of the prophylactic study showed that the percentage suppression of the parasite by the aqueous leaf extract of L. africana at each administered dosage was above 30%. It was, therefore, concluded that the leaf extracts of F. trichocarpa and L. africana possess antimalarial potencies when administered individually than as a combined regime and this property could be exploited for antimalarial therapy.

Objective: The present research was designed on soil of Shahrekord district to find and compare its mineral concentration with the Middle Chalcolithic period ceramics which found in the same area to determine their similarities in order to verify the origin of potteries.

Procedure: Eighty composite soil and eight particles of Middle Chalcolithic Pottery were collected from Shahrekord district and the concentration of phosphorus, copper, molybdenum, lead and cobalt were measured by using atomic absorption spectrophotometry and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), respectively.

Statistical Analysis: For comparing the mineral concentration of soil and ceramics One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test were used at the significant level of p<0.05.

Results: The average level of phosphorus, copper, molybdenum, lead and cobalt in the soil of Shahrekord district were 11.31, 12.04, 0.06, 0.79 and 0.126 mg/kg and their average in Middle Chalcolithic Potteries were 2058, 54.11, 0.92, 9.5 and 21.25 ppm, respectively. The statistical analysis showed an obvious and significant difference between soil minerals and ceramics (p<0.01).

Discussion: This finding indicates that it is not possible to find out the origin of ancient ceramics by using the concentration of soil elements at present time. These significant differences may attribute to the burial place and the type of pottery used in the ancient kitchen.

This study was to determine the effect of Simulated-Video Based Flipped Classroom (SVBFC) and Virtual Laboratory Based Flipped Classroom (VLBFC) instructional strategies on pre-degree students’ learning outcomes (Attitude, Achievement, and Problem-solving skills) in Physics in Southwestern Nigeria. Theories of Cognitive constructivism and Engagement provided the framework, while a pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental design was employed. Six private Universities were randomly selected and a total of 204 Pre-degree students (79 males, 125 females) participated in the study. Instruments used for the study were the Modified Attitudes Towards Physics Scale (α=0.88), Students' Achievement Test in Physics (r=0.75), Problem-Solving Skills Rubric (r=0.83), and instructional guides. There were significant main effects of treatment on attitude (F(2;201)=15.14; partial ƞ2=0.00), achievement (F(2;201)=249.79; partial ƞ2=0.00), and problem-solving skills (F(2;201)=34.76; partial ƞ2=0.00) in Physics. The results show that Simulated-Video and Virtual Laboratory-based flipped classroom strategies improved pre-degree students' attitude, achievement, and problem-solving skills in Physics in Southwestern Nigeria. Therefore, it should be adopted as strategies for teaching pre-degree Physics students.
