Eksplorasi Kemunculan Efek Metode dalam Tes Potensi Kemampuan Kognitif
Authors: Widhiarso Wahyu
Published: May 2024

Skor tes individu dapat dipengaruhi oleh tiga sumber variasi yaitu konstruk ukur, metode pengukuran, dan eror pengukuran. Idealnya, pengaruh terhadap skor dalam sebuah tes didominasi oleh konstruk ukur. Namun, dalam beberapa kasus terdapat pengaruh dari metode pengukuran yang disebabkan oleh keunikan yang terkait dengan metode pengukuran dalam tes tersebut. Pengaruh dari keunikan ini disebut sebagai efek metode yang dapat memengaruhi validitas struktural suatu alat ukur. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi efek metode pada Tes PAPS UGM Seri E menggunakan analisis faktor konfirmatori dengan model bifaktor (bifactor). Hasil analisis (N = 2.170) menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat efek metode dengan porsi yang cukup besar di dalam PAPS Seri E1 dan E2. Semua variasi skor didominasi oleh efek konstruk ukur daripada efek metode pengukuran yang ditunjukkan dengan nilai bobot faktor pada komponen lebih didominasi oleh konstruk ukur dibandingkan dengan metode pengukuran. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa skor yang didapatkan oleh peserta tes cenderung merepresentasikan kemampuan yang bersifat umum yaitu penalaran kognitif daripada kemampuan yang bersifat spesifik yang terkait dengan media pengukuran.

Telaah Basis Filosofis Ekowisata: Dari Ontologi, Epistemologi Hingga Aksiologi
Authors: Aji Khusnul Bayu
Published: May 2024

Many studies have been conducted to investigate the philosophical issues of ecotourism, but none has explicitly addressed the components of ecotourism's ontology, epistemology, and axiology. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to examine the philosophical foundations of ecotourism from the perspectives of ontology, epistemology, and axiology. A literature review was employed in this article. According to analysis, the ontological basis of ecotourism, which emerged in the mid-1980s as a manifestation of alternative tourism and as a ‘face’ of sustainable tourism, is intimately linked to 'nature,' which is constituted by the generative power of a transcendent principle of unity, being, and goodness. In this sense, ecotourism philosophy centers on the notion that unique sites for ecotourism purposes are considered 'paradises'. Tourists and inhabitants of these unique places should engage in ecotourism with consciousness; that is, the place should be conserved intact, as originally discovered. The epistemology of ecotourism is constructed as an abstraction of a relationship that cannot be separated between humans and the environment in the context of tourism. From an axiological standpoint, ecotourism is based on environmental values and ethics that should be included in the tourism industry to foster harmony between humans and nature as a good existence.
Wait-and-Follow: Tourism Policies Amid The Early Widespread of Covid-19 within The Special Region of Yogyakarta
Authors: Hapsari Riris Rinonce
Published: May 2024

An unforeseen repercussion of the COVID-19 pandemic was a substantial disruption of international economic activity. Similarly affected was the Special Region of Yogyakarta, one of the most visited tourist havens in Indonesia. Initial policies implemented in the midst of the pandemic were pivotal in assessing the government's readiness to address unanticipated circumstances. In addition to disseminating a wide range of information and ideas, mass media functions as a vital social institution by monitoring the political climate and the effectiveness of the government. By employing Fairclough's critical discourse analysis, it is possible to ascertain the relation between public policy and mass media. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine how the news media, particularly Tribun Jogja, communicated the tourism policies of the Special Region of Yogyakarta concurrently with the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic (January-June 2020). During the whole of the investigation, it was critical to partition the data into distinct time intervals in order to draw verdicts. As a result of the prevailing circumstances, Tribun Jogja was convened to deliberate on the tourism policies enacted by the administration of the Yogyakarta Special Region. Furthermore, it was disclosed that the previously mentioned organisations were participating in collaborative initiatives.

La creciente comerciabilidad de las actividades de cuidado y el empoderamiento de las mujeres
Authors: Majeed Mehak
Published: May 2024

El mundo contemporáneo ha avanzado, aunque parcialmente, en lo que se refiere al empoderamiento de la mujer, a la par que se ha estancado en la convergencia de los niveles de derechos entre hombres y mujeres. El problema se ha agravado especialmente en las zonas en desarrollo del mundo. Al ser de naturaleza tradicional y patriarcal, la actividad de las mujeres se ha visto limitada a las tareas del hogar que entran en el ámbito de la economía del cuidado. Últimamente, las mujeres han estado haciendo todo lo posible para participar en la economía salarial con el fin de obtener un ingreso independiente. El presente estudio es un intento de analizar el potencial de la economía informal del cuidado como el canal más accesible para que las mujeres sin educación y sin cualificación encuentren un empleo remunerado. El estudio confirma la limitada capacidad de las economías en desarrollo para absorber la educación y las competencias, y crear puestos de trabajo de manera simultánea. El estudio valida aún más el papel positivo y significativo de la economía informal del cuidado en la oferta de empleo a las mujeres, mejorando sus perspectivas y resultados en el curso de la vida. El estudio concluye con algunas recomendaciones de política para permitir que la economía informal del cuidado exista como un camino hacia el mercado laboral formal para las mujeres en el mundo en desarrollo.

Authors: Gain Akash Asim
Published: May 2024

Abstract: As the population increases tremendously the horizontal space in urban areas are insufficient to construct a building so it is very essential to go for vertical construction. In this research The 11 storey gate type twin tower reinforced concrete frame building having the top three floors horizontally connected is analyzed by using finite element modeling software. By using linear static and dynamic analysis, the seismic responses are computed and compared for various models such as twin towers without any connection, twin towers with one-way connection, and a gate-type twin tower structure with the top three floors connected. It examines storey drift, displacement, and base shear in seismic zone III on medium soil. The results finds that structural responses to the gate building show both decreases and slight increases when compare to without connected buildings. So By connecting twin tower buildings, not only is an innovative architectural design achieved, but a roadway between the towers can also be provided., In addition, the horizontal space at the top floors after connecting the towers can also be used for residential, commercial, and office accommodation purposes.

Hysteroscopic evaluation of endometrial changes and fallopian tubal functions in women using progestin-only contraceptives
Authors: Darwish Atef , Mohammad Ibrahim , Gendy Samuel , Darwish Dina , Ramdan Mohammad
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this prospective study was to investigate whether office hysteroscopy (OH) can be used to assess the mechanisms of action of progestogen-only contraceptives (POCs), diagnose possible local causes of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), and support the treatment plan of symptomatic patients using POCs compared with those who do not use hormones. The study included 140 women who were divided into two groups. Group A consisted of 70 women who used POCs, whereas group B consisted of 70 women who did not use hormones. They were successively examined using transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS), OH, and endometrial sampling. The TVS results were consistent with those of OH and histopathology. The changes in endometrial thickness and vasculature, as well as fallopian tube (FT) functions, were significantly more pronounced in POC users than in non-POC users. There was a significant reduction in the peristalsis of the proximal part of the FT, as well as a reduction in the bubble flow test in group A compared with group B. In addition, the combination of peristalsis and the bubble flow test (Darwishscope test) was significantly lower in group A. It was concluded that using OH as a simple diagnostic tool in women with POCs would contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of endometrial and FT effects and explain some local endometrial causes of AUB. This ensures that the combination of TVS and OH would limit routine endometrial sampling in POCs users.

Authors: Lee Soo Hoon , Lim Daesung , Ko Seo Young
Published: May 2024

This study was conducted to determine whether level-1 emergency medical technicians (EMTs) can adequately recognize ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the emergency department (ED) and whether their ability to do so differs from that of emergency medicine physicians (EMP). From December 2022 to November 2023, patients aged 20 years or older visiting the ED with chief complaints suggesting acute coronary syndrome (ACS) were enrolled. As soon as the patient arrived at the ED, a level-1 EMT conducted a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) to assess STEMI; an EMP subsequently assessed whether to activate the percutaneous coronary intervention team. Demographic characteristics, test results, and final diagnoses were collected from the medical records. Among the 723 patients with case report forms, 720 were included in the analysis. These were categorized as follows: 117 (16.3%) with STEMI, 159 (22.1%) with non-ST-segment elevation ACS, and 444 (61.7%) with other conditions. STEMI was correctly recognized in 100 patients (91.7%) by level-1 EMTs and in 104 patients (95.4%) by EMPs (kappa=0.646). EMTs with less than 1 year of ED work experience correctly recognized 60 out of 67 STEMI patients (89.6%), which was comparable with the EMPs who recognized 65 out of 67 STEMI patients (97.0%, kappa=0.614). EMTs with more than 1 year of ED work correctly recognized 40 out of 42 STEMI patients (95.2%), and therefore performed better than EMPs, who recognized 39 out of 42 STEMI patients (92.9%, kappa=0.727). The level-1 EMTs adequately recognized STEMI using a 12-lead ECG and were in substantial agreement with the evaluations of the EMPs.

Authors: Kang Inmo
Published: May 2024

Massive gastric mucosal ruptures during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in patients with esophageal hiatal hernias are rare. However, tearing of the gastric mucosa alone, without tearing of the gastroesophageal junction, is even rarer. This study reports a case of a large mucosal rupture that occurred on the posterior wall of the upper body of the stomach during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in an 83-year-old woman with an esophageal hiatal hernia while sedated. The patient was treated with endoclips for the rupture.
Investigating the Behavior of UVC Rays on the Inactivation of Staphylococcus Aureus from Simulated Contaminated Air Using a Probit Model
Authors: S* Afrasiabi
Published: May 2024

Today, one of the most significant health challenges is controlling airborne microbial agents. Utilizing ultraviolet (UV) rays is a method to eliminate these microbial agents and can be an effective approach for disinfecting hospitals. The main mechanism in which UV radiation works is not by directly eliminating bioaerosols, rather by preventing their proliferation through damaging the outer structure of their cells. As a result, bioaerosols cease to proliferate and eventually die due to cell death. In this study, our objective is to determine the optimal duration of UV irradiation and temperature and pH required to achieve efficient removal of S. aureus bacteria. A suspension of bacteria was prepared using the 0.5 McFarland standard. The desired contaminated air was produced and blown into the reactor using an air pump. Sampling was done using a membrane biosterile filter with a pore diameter of 0.22 micrometers in various UV irradiation time, temperature, and pH. The number of colonies grown from the samples was counted. The removal efficiency of S. aureus bacteria was >70% after 10 minutes of irradiation, >80% after 20 minutes, and >95% after 30 minutes at a constant rate. Also, the actual bacterial removal efficiency differs slightly from the removal efficiency predicted by the probit model.
Aspirin as an Independent Risk Factor for Hypertension
Authors: A* Sanyaolu
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Hypertension is one of the most commonly occurring diseases throughout the world. Aspirin is the most recommended drug to prevent cardiovascular diseases in high-risk patients. As this may be true, Aspirin has shown to increase the risk of hypertension. The objective of our study is to see the correlation between Aspirin an NSAID and hypertension within the Anguillan population. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study comprising of males and females in Anguilla above the age of 20 years. Our study’s focus was those that took Aspirin as a self-directed medication or as physician-directed for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. The participants were given a survey to fill out. Surveys were formatted to include demographics, medical, family and social history. Consent for surveys was obtained and permission was granted by the ARB (Anguillan Review Board). Comorbidities were evaluated by self-reporting in the medical history. The goal of this study was to understand whether there was any correlation between Aspirin use and the increased risk of hypertension. Results: Primary outcome was significant with the p-value of 0.0008; however, secondary outcome was not statistically significant (p= 0.7) because whether the Aspirin was prescribed by physician or taken as a self-directed medication does not have influence in the mechanism of action of Aspirin. There was no statistical significance in the male gender between the control and the target groups (p= 0.054). Moreover, statistical significance was noted in female gender between the control and the target group (p= 0.004). Conclusion: The results showed that there was significance in the Blood Pressure of patients who were on Aspirin as compared to those who did not take Aspirin indicating that Aspirin plays a role in hypertension.

Schmähende Schriften stellten in der Frühen Neuzeit ein nahezu allgegenwärtiges Instrument des Konfliktaustrags dar. Sie kamen in vielfältigen Formen und unterschiedlichsten Situationen zum Einsatz: In persönlichen Nachbarschaftsstreitigkeiten, als Mittel des Protests und der Obrigkeitskritik oder in territorialpolitischen Großkonfliktlagen. Da die Herabsetzung durch libelli famosi stets publikumsbezogen inszeniert wurde, bietet die Analyse von Schmähschriftenkonflikten nicht nur einen Einblick in vormoderne Streitkulturen, sondern auch einen Zugang zu Strukturen und Dynamiken frühneuzeitlicher Öffentlichkeit.
Auf der Grundlage von Kriminalakten erstellte, mikrohistorische Fallstudien zeigen, wie Schmähschriften eingesetzt und verbreitet wurden, welche Effekte sie zeitigten und wie Betroffene sich gegen die oft anonymen, öffentlichkeitswirksamen Angriffe zur Wehr setzten. Die Studie verdeutlicht den Sonderstatus der Schriften im Repertoire der damaligen Mittel eines ehrbezogenen Konfliktaustrags, der bedingt war durch eine neuartige Öffentlichkeitssensibilität am Beginn der Frühen Neuzeit, und verweist auf die Existenz einer öffentlichen Meinung avant la lettre.

The omnipresent heterogeneity in every classroom challenges teachers of all types of different schools to meet the diverse, individual educational needs of their students. Despite the curricular guidelines of the federal states regarding differentiation and individualisation, the empirical basis of the demanding management of heterogeneous learning groups in the foreign language classroom is surprisingly scarce. This circumstance led to a quantitative study conducted in 2019, focusing on differentiation, and individualisation in the most frequently taught foreign languages in Germany (English, French, Italian and Spanish,). More than 600 foreign language teachers from all over Germany participated in the online survey, regardless of their specific subject combinations and school types. The results of the collected data illustrate the various learning group constellations, the used techniques, methods and materials, and their (dis-)advantageous features according to the respondents’ perception.

Incest is sexual contact that occurs between families who are related by blood. Incest includes an act of sexual violence when there is no consent from the victim. This research aims to obtain an overview of the forms of cognitive distortion of incest perpetrators against the child. This research was carried out using a qualitative case study approach with in-depth interviews based on cognitive distortion theory. Participants in this research were the biological fathers of 3 victims. Data analysis was carried out using a theory-led approach or coding the interview results based on the theory of the forms of cognitive distortion of perpetrators of sexual violence. The data analysis process is assisted by the MaxQDA application. The results of this research indicate that cognitive distortions encourage perpetrators to commit acts of incestuous sexual violence against their biological children. In line with cognitive distortion theory, there are 5 forms of cognitive distortion found in participants, namely uncontrollable (the perpetrator's inability to control himself), nature of harm (sexual relations are considered harmless), children as sexual beings (children are interested in sexual relations), dangerous world (the perpetrator views adults as dangerous) and entitlement (parents' rights to children). The event that initiated incest was the perpetrator's wife's refusal to have sexual intercourse. Disharmony in the participant's family was also caused by family functions not running well, such as religious, economic, as well as educational and socialization functions. Therefore, this research has implications for the development of further research that can focus on family functions that cause incest.

We live in a complex and highly dynamic risk society, and given the massive environmental changes, exposure to hazards has become a critical concept that is part of all risk assessments made from a spatial perspective. In urban studies, evaluating exposure to different risk phenomena influences targeted policies and planning that can shape cities while making them safer. As in other post-socialist countries, in Romania, cities have had a highly divergent recent evolution, including processes such as urban shrinkage, the suburban advancement of cities, and urban sprawl. Focusing on seven cities from the North-East Region of Romania, the current paper is an exploratory study regarding the dynamics of exposure to landslides in relation to suburban advancement and densification of cities. Using the official statistics, available GIS databases and information based on satellite images illustrating urban land use changes in the last 20 years, the paper includes a general overview of the overall evolution of urban areas against landslide probability, followed by a more in-depth assessment of specific areas that were subject to functional change and currently include buildings that are susceptible to be affected by landslides. The results and conclusions converge towards the idea that the identified exposed areas, where actual ground movements are currently registered, need special attention from experts and authorities to identify and manage risks. The significance of our findings is underscored by their potential to inform and guide more effective territorial management and urban land use planning strategies.

En este artículo analizamos las políticas públicas para la gestión de la información científica (IC) en la Argentina. Para realizar este análisis abordamos tres iniciativas implementadas entre 1984 y 2003 destinadas a fomentar o mejorar la adquisición, organización y difusión de la IC a través de políticas dirigidas a las bibliotecas universitarias y especializadas. Además de la descripción de los programas analizados, los objetivos de nuestro trabajo son situar las iniciativas en el contexto social, económico y político en que se llevaron a cabo, identificar los principales actores involucrados en ellas, examinar las ideas imperantes sobre las necesidades del sector de ciencia y tecnología en materia de información y describir el tipo de articulación que tenían con las políticas de ciencia y tecnología. Para realizar esta investigación nos basamos en el análisis de fuentes documentales producidas por instituciones y personas con injerencia en la temática. Entre los principales hallazgos señalamos que durante este período nuevos actores individuales e institucionales cobraron centralidad en la definición de políticas públicas destinadas a la gestión de la IC y que estas se focalizaron en la generación de infraestructuras basadas en las denominadas tecnologías de la comunicación y la información, concepto que se acuñará en el período estudiado, y la incorporación paulatina de la conexión a través de redes informáticas como internet.
¿Qué cosas hay que saber de las bibliotecas? Las ideas de Manuel Selva sobre la formación de los y las bibliotecarias en la Argentina (1937-1944)
Authors: Planas Javier
Published: May 2024

Se estudian las ideas con las que Manual Selva diseñó y dictó los primeros cursos de bibliotecología de la Argentina (1937-1944). Se analizan dos obras fundamentales del autor: Manual de bibliotecnia (1939) y Tratado de bibliotecnia (1944). Se interpreta que estas publicaciones, junto a los cursos, formaron parte de una apuesta de profesionalización de la actividad bibliotecaria. Se describen los fundamentos de la propuesta, las temáticas consideradas centrales y su contexto de emergencia. Se concluye que la iniciativa representó una torción en el sentido histórico del ámbito bibliotecario argentino, al crear una secuencia de contenidos legítima, fundar una metodología de trabajo, instalar un lenguaje especializado y dotar a la profesión de una misión social que la justificó.

W ostatnich latach analizuje się znaczenie resweratrolu jako biologicznie aktywnego naturalnego składnika odżywczego o działaniu potencjalnie zapobiegającym rozwojowi i postępowi schorzeń degeneracyjnych związanych z wiekiem oraz procesami starzenia się. Celem pracy był przegląd aktualnego piśmiennictwa z ostatnich ok. 10 lat podejmującego tematykę właściwości resweratrolu, jego wpływu na kondycję ogólnoustrojową oraz na schorzenia siatkówki. Potwierdza on istotny korzystny wpływ resweratrolu i suplementów diety zawierających resweratrol w ograniczaniu rozwoju i postępu schorzeń o podłożu stresu oksydacyjnego. Zakres działania resweratrolu jest ogólnoustrojowy, o czym świadczą wyniki badań. W okulistyce resweratrol znajduje zastosowanie przede wszystkim w degeneracyjnych schorzeniach siatkówki oraz powikłaniach chorób metabolicznych, w których stres oksydacyjny odgrywa kluczową rolę. Dane z przeprowadzonych badań dają podstawę do założenia, że dzięki takim związkom jak resweratrol możemy zyskać realny wpływ na wystąpienie np. zwyrodnienia plamki żółtej związanego z wiekiem i jego przebieg.

Częstość występowania zaburzeń powierzchni oka rośnie po zabiegach okulistycznych,w tym po zabiegu usunięcia zaćmy. Ponad 60% pacjentów kierowanych do operacji zaćmy ma nieprawidłowości filmu łzowego. U pacjentów z ryzykiem wystąpienia po operacji objawów zespołu suchego oka wskazane jest podjęcie terapii miejscowej przed zabiegiem. Leczeniem pierwszego rzutu są preparaty sztucznych łez. W przypadku niewystarczającego efektu stosuje się leczenie substancjami modulującymi przebieg zapalny. Ponadto u pacjentów wymagających terapii pozytywny efekt odnosi wdrożenie higieny brzegów powiek. Spośród preparatów sztucznych łez podkreśla się korzyści z zastosowania kwasu hialuronowego o wysokiej masie cząsteczkowej i wyciągu z miłorzębu japońskiego.

Material and methods: A 68-year-old female patient was referred to clinic with a suprachoroidal hemorrhage of the left eye arising during phacoemulsification with rupture of the lens capsule and displacement of cortical masses into the vitreous chamber. She reported severe complaints of pain in the left eye. Her visual acuity was at a level of light perception with no localization and intraocular pressure (IOP) at 60 mmHg. B-projection ultrasonography showed significant elevation of the choroid with dense echoes of extravasated blood in the suprachoroidal space. After analysis of the local and clinical condition, a vitrectomy procedure was performed from the pars plana approach (PPV). Due to persistently high IOP, the patient was qualified for a PPV again, 23 days after the suprachoroidal hemorrhage has occurred.
Results: The follow-up, 10 days after the second PPV procedure, has shown an improvement of the local condition and normalization of intraocular pressure to a 17 mmHg. The patient reported no complaints of pain.
Optical hazard of solar radiation on the dilated eye’

Administration of drops to dilate pupils is a common medical procedure around the world prior to an eye examination. Drops cause clinically significant dilation of the pupil (mydriasis) and inhibit its response to the visible wavelengths [1, 2]. The energy absorbed by the retina is proportional to the aperture size [3], therefore the risk of a lesion increases with the diameter of the pupil [4]. There are a vast number of approved drugs, which brochures warn patients about potential risks. Not all mentions protecting eyesight from the light [5–7]. None of them indicate the solar radiation, the sun, the sunlight or similar as potential hazard. Within this research, I adopt international standards for artificial light sources [4, 8] to define the safety class and risk group for the solar radiation affecting the dilated eye. The solar radiation is hazardous, following standards’ thresholds [4, 8]. I indicate a lack of clarity and a single-minded approach in the drugs’ characteristics regarding this specific hazard. I encourage drug producers and medical society to validate this risk.
Photocatalytic degradation properties

Photocatalysis, an innovative technology, holds promise for addressing industrial pollution issues across aqueous solutions, surfaces, and gaseous effluents. The efficiency of photodegradation is notably influenced by light intensity and duration, underscoring the importance of optimizing these parameters. Furthermore, temperature and pH have a significant impact on pollutant speciation, surface chemistry, and reaction kinetics; therefore, process optimization must consider these factors. Photocatalytic degradation is an effective method for treating water in environmental remediation, providing a flexible and eco-friendly way to eliminate organic contaminants from wastewater. Selectivity in photocatalytic degradation is achieved by a multidisciplinary approach that includes reaction optimization, catalyst design, and profound awareness of chemical processes. To create efficient and environmentally responsible methods for pollution removal and environmental remediation, researchers are working to improve these components.

Water splitting, the process of converting water into hydrogen and oxygen gases, has garnered significant attention as a promising avenue for sustainable energy production. One area of focus has been the development of efficient and cost-effective catalysts for water splitting. Researchers have explored catalysts based on abundant and inexpensive materials such as nickel, iron, and cobalt, which have demonstrated improved performance and stability. These catalysts show promise for large-scale implementation and offer potential for reducing the reliance on expensive and scarce materials. Another avenue of research involves photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells, which utilize solar energy to drive the water-splitting reaction. Scientists have been working on designing novel materials, including metal oxides and semiconductors, to enhance light absorption and charge separation properties. These advancements in PEC technology aim to maximize the conversion of sunlight into chemical energy. Inspired by natural photosynthesis, artificial photosynthesis approaches have also gained traction. By integrating light-absorbing materials, catalysts, and membranes, these systems aim to mimic the complex processes of natural photosynthesis and produce hydrogen fuel from water. The development of efficient and stable artificial photosynthesis systems holds promise for sustainable and clean energy production. Tandem cells, which combine multiple light-absorbing materials with different bandgaps, have emerged as a strategy to enhance the efficiency of water-splitting systems. By capturing a broader range of the solar spectrum, tandem cells optimize light absorption and improve overall system performance. Lastly, advancements in electrocatalysis have played a critical role in water splitting. Researchers have focused on developing advanced electrocatalysts with high activity, selectivity, and stability for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). These electrocatalysts contribute to overall water-splitting efficiency and pave the way for practical implementation.
Understanding the Role of Self-Regulated Learning in Academic Success. A Blended Learning Perspective in Vocational Education

Published: May 2024

This study aimed to investigate the impact of self-regulated learning (SRL) skills on the academic success of non-commissioned officer (NCO) students within a Special Vocational College (SVC) belonging to the government context. As blended courses become increasingly prevalent, there is a growing interest in understanding the role of SRL, a critical determinant of academic performance. While SRL has garnered substantial attention in higher education, limited research has focused on its relevance within SVCs. Furthermore, little is known about the factors influencing students' SRL levels in online learning settings and their subsequent impact on course performance. Therefore, this study endeavors to identify the factors that influence SVC students' SRL and assess how it impacts success in blended courses. The study was conducted during the Fall semester of 2022-2023, encompassing five distinct compulsory blended courses and involving a total of 203 SVC students. We utilized a path model, expanding upon the framework proposed by Liaw and Huang in 2013, to assess the influence of SRL on academic achievement. The findings demonstrated that students' perceptions of the interactivity in the learning environment (ILE) and their perceived self-efficacy (PSE) had a positive and significant impact on their perceived satisfaction (PS). Additionally, ILE, PSE, and PS significantly influenced the perceived usefulness (PU) of the learning management system (LMS). Furthermore, ILE, PU, and PS emerged as significant predictors of students' SRL skills. However, the observed results did not entirely align with the expected impact on academic success. The study's findings shed light on the complex relationship between course achievement and SRL in blended learning settings, as well as the interrelated factors at play. The practical implications of these findings extend to how LMS administrators can support students in blended courses in becoming more self-regulated learners.
