Latar Belakang penelitian ini penulis telisik melalui adanya fluktuasi pembelajaran sebagai peziarahan guru-guru pada masing-masing wilayah. Perjalanan sebagai sebuah langkah profesionalitas guru, penulis mencari dan memeriksa peziarahan tersebut melalui subjek penelitian di salah satu Sekolah Dasar di Kalimantan Tengah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memeriksa upaya guru mendampingi peserta didik dalam  hal hambatan dan peluang belajar mengajar oleh narasi guru-guru di SD Negeri 1 kuala Kurun melalui kelas IV. Penelitian kualitatif ini menggunakan teknik wawancara langsung kepada narasumber melalui penyedia audio (telepon seluler) selama berada di sekolah. Penulis menemukan ragam usaha guru sekolah SD Negeri yang terletak di salah satu Kabupaten kota Palangka Raya tersebut selama proses pembelajaran. Pelibatan tersebut tidak hanya menyasar pada peserta didik (murid), tetapi juga orang tua. Urgensitas temuan peluang oleh guru-guru kelas mampu meredefinisi narasi kesulitan dalam konteks salah satu SD yang terletak di Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah.

Published: July 2023

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh pelaku sekaligus pengguna pembelajaran yakni guru musik bagi anak musik. Penggunaan tersebut penulis temukan melalui piano klasik, keyboard, olah vokal, dan rekaman. Bagaimana mengiringi musik, pengulangan materi di minggu berikutnya termaktub dalam bagaimana anggapan/persepsi guru musik atas profesinya sebagai guru di sekolah informal. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menelusuri cerita guru musik sebagai bentuk berdaya guru atas perubahan mood, tingkah laku serta perkembangan murid musik. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian berjenis kualitatif dengan pencarian data berbagai pengalaman guru-guru musik di sekolah informal melalui wawancara mendalam. Wawancara mendalam atas strategi pembelajaran, cara menangani murid musik ketika tidak menyukai pembelajaran musik (piano, keyboard, vokal). Audio transkrip wawancara kemudian dipadatkan pada padatan faktual melalui transkrip verbatim. Padatan faktual diolah menjadi tema-tema yang dekat dengan narasi subjek penelitian. Penulis menemukan narasi bahwa ketakutan tidak hanya berada atau inheren dalam diri murid musik (takut salah, takut konsekuensi), tetapi juga pada guru musik itu sendiri (takut tertolak oleh anak atau/dan orang tua, takut kehilangan pekerjaan dan takut kehilangan murid musik). Selain itu, penulis menemukan sebagai hasil dari penelitian ini bahwa strategi pembelajaran, tantangan-hambatan dan peluang guru musik terletak sejauh mana ia mempersiapkan diri untuk belajar melalui perkembangan mental murid musik.

Authors: - Adella Kamala Sari , Haryati Sri
Published: July 2023

Kemajuan teknologi membawa banyak perubahan terhadap aspek kehidupan manusia. Salah satunya dalam aspek pemenuhan kebutuhan manusia terhadap hiburan. Dengan adanya kemajuan teknologi yang semakin canggih, hiburan tidak lagi terbatas pada dunia nyata saja melainkan telah berkembang ke dunia maya atau dunia virtual. Salah satu hiburan yang tercipta karena adanya dunia maya adalah permainan berbasis internet atau dikenal sebagai game online (permainan daring). Salah satu game online yang kini sedang populer adalah Genshin Impact. Di tengah kepopulerannya, terdapat beberapa individu/perorangan atau kelompok yang melakukan usaha berupa jual-beli akun Genshin Impact. Namun apakah perbuatan tersebut dapat dibenarkan? Hal ini perlu ditinjau lebih lanjut dari perspektif baru yakni meninjau dari segi hak kebendaan dan perjanjian/kontrak yang mengikat akun game online Genshin Impact. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode yuridis-normatif, di mana penelitian akan dilakukan dengan berpanduan pada peraturan perundang-undangan untuk menganalisis isu hukum yang sedang diteliti. Dari hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa keabsahan akun game online Genshin Impact sebagai objek jual-beli sangat terikat dengan perjanjian Terms of Service yang disepakati pada saat pembuatan akun, dan oleh sebab akun game online Genshin Impact merupakan hak milik dari COGNOSPHERE sebagai pemegang hak cipta, maka transaksi jual-beli akun game yang dilakukan oleh para pemain dianggap batal demi hukum.
Doxing untuk Malicious Purposes vs Doxing untuk Political Purposes: Urgensi Pengklasifikasian Ancaman Hukuman Bagi Para Pelaku Doxing dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 27 Tahun 2022 tentang Perlindungan Data Pribadi
Authors: Andriana Putri Nafila
Published: July 2023

Berbanding lurus dengan masifnya penggunaan media sosial oleh masyarakat Indonesia, kasus doxing menggunakan media sosial pun kerap terjadi. Tujuan dari doxing yang dilakukan pun bermacam-macam mulai, dari ingin mempermalukan seseorang hingga menuntut keadilan demi kepentingan umum. Dengan disahkannya Undang-Undang Nomor 27 Tahun 2022 tentang Perlindungan Data Pribadi (UU PDP) yang diharapkan dapat memberikan regulasi yang dapat diandalkan terkait dengan isu data pribadi, nyatanya UU PDP belum dapat memberikan kepastian hukum, tertutama bagi pelaku doxing untuk menuntut keadilan demi kepentingan umum. UU PDP menyamaratakan bahwa kegiatan mengungkapkan data pribadi atau doxing adalah hal yang dilarang dan diancam pidana. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif serta studi kasus doxing terhadap perkara penganiayaan Mario Dandy (MDS) terhadap D, tulisan ini akan membahas mengenai pentingnya mengklasifikasikan doxing berdasarkan bentuk dan tujuan dilakukannya dalam UU PDP. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa doxing terdiri menjadi tiga kategori berdasarkan tujuannya, yaitu doxing untuk tujuan jahat, doxing untuk kepentingan politik, dan doxing untuk self-regulation. Berdasarkan kategorisasi ini, sudah sepatutnya ancaman hukuman untuk pelaku doxing dibedakan pula.

The use of the law can legally ensnare perpetrators who have been proven guilty of committing a crime. This study aims to find out the legal arrangements in Indonesia for fraud in cybercrime and what regulations are the basis for law enforcement officials in efforts to deal with criminal acts of fraud in the form of online buying and selling. Cybercrime is a form of crime that arises because of the use of internet technology. The rapid development in the use of internet services invites crime to occur. With the increasing number of requests for internet access, crimes against the use of information technology are increasing following the development of the technology itself. More and more parties are harmed by the actions of the perpetrators of cybercrime if there is no law that regulates it. Prior to the enactment of the ITE Law, legal officials used the Criminal Code in dealing with cases of cyber crimes. This criminal act of fraud can be charged with Article 378 of the Criminal Code as a criminal act of fraud or Article 28 paragraph (1) of the ITE Law concerning regulations regarding the spread of false and misleading news that harms consumers. Or you can be charged based on both articles at the same time, namely, 378 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 28 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 45 paragraph (1) of Law No. 11 of 2008 concerning fraud and/or ITE crimes.

A review on heat stress altering the insect life history strategies and underlying mechanisms: Special reference to an economically important Lepidoptera, Bombyx mori (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae)
Authors: Ashraf Hashim , Qamar Ayesha
Published: July 2023

Lepidoptera is an order belonging to class Insecta consisting of Rhopalocera and Heterocera. B. mori belongs to this order and is the backbone of sericulture. Sericulture, the culture, rearing and maintenance of Bombyx mori (Linnaeus, 1785) for silk production, is widely practiced in India, contributing to its economy and providing livelihoods to many, especially those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Temperature and humidity affect silk production greatly. Heat shock genes and proteins protect B. mori to a certain extent from increased heat stress. However, outside this range, silkworm biology suffers. The silkworm adapts to heat by upregulating thermotolerance genes and proteins, especially heat shock proteins (HSPs). Produce different heat-resistant proteins at different temperatures. Larvae, embryos, and cocoons are affected by heat stress. Given the silkworm’s sensitivity to temperature and humidity and the alarming pace of climate change and global warming faced by the earth, it is necessary to consider solutions that will allow B. mori to adapt in the future decades. Molecular and enzymatic markers may help screen thermotolerant silkworm breeds. Given this insect’s temperature sensitivity, global warming and climate change may harm it even more than other insects. Therefore, to save this insect and the sericulture sector, steps must be taken in this direction.
Synthesis and field testing of esters of (2R)-butan-2-ol and (2S)-butan-2-ol and monounsaturated fatty acids as sex attractants for the males of Procridinae species (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae)
Authors: Efetov Konstantin A. , Kucherenko Elena E.
Published: July 2023

In the family Zygaenidae (Lepidoptera) with more than 1000 species a complete chemical analysis of the structure of female sex pheromones has been carried out for only three species of the subfamily Procridinae while sex attractants have been found for males of more than 60 species of two subfamilies: Procridinae and Zygaeninae. The synthesis of new sex attractants was performed from (Z)-dodec-5-enoic acid and R- and S-enantiomers of butan-2-ol at the Crimean Federal University in 2021. The biological activity of received esters was tested during fieldwork in the Crimean Peninsula. It has been proved that (2R)-butan-2-yl (Z)-dodec-5-enoate (named EFETOV-S-5) and (2S)-butan-2-yl (Z)-dodec-5-enoate (named EFETOV-S-S-5) are sex attractants for the males of Jordanita (Tremewania) notata (Zeller, 1847), while (2S)-butan-2-yl (Z)-dodec-5-enoate (EFETOV-S-S-5) is a sex attractant for Adscita (Adscita) geryon (Hübner, 1813). In addition, (2R)-butan-2-yl (Z)-hexadec-9-enoate and (2S)-butan-2-yl (Z)-hexadec-9-enoate were synthesised in 2022. However, these esters did not attract any of the Zygaenidae species which are common in the Crimea.

Humoral and cellular BNT162b2 mRNA-based booster vaccine-induced immunity in patients with multiple myeloma and persistence of neutralising antibodies: results of a prospective single-centre cohort study
Authors: Silzle Tobias , Kahlert Christian R. , Albrich Werner C. , Nigg Susanne , Demmer Steingruber Ruth , Driessen Christoph , Fischer Stefanie
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND: Currently available messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based vaccines against coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have been shown to be effective even in highly immunocompromised hosts, including patients with multiple myeloma. However, vaccination failure can be observed in all patient groups.

METHODS: This prospective study longitudinally assessed the humoral and cellular responses to a third booster dose of BNT162b2 mRNA-based vaccine in patients with myeloma (n = 59) and healthy controls (n = 22) by measuring the levels of anti-spike (S) antibodies (electro-chemiluminescence immunoassay) including neutralising antibodies and specific T-cells (enzyme-linked immunospot assay) following booster administration.

RESULTS: The third booster dose showed a high immunogenicity on the serological level among the patients with multiple myeloma (median anti-S level = 41 binding antibody units [BAUs]/ml pre-booster vs 3902 BAU/ml post-booster, p <0.001; increase in the median neutralising antibody level from 19.8% to 97%, p <0.0001). Four of five (80%) patients with a complete lack of any serological response (anti-S immunoglobulin level <0.8 BAU/ml) after two vaccine doses developed detectable anti-S antibodies after booster vaccination (median anti-S level = 88 BAU/ml post-booster).

T-cell responses were largely preserved among the patients with multiple myeloma with no difference from the healthy controls following baseline vaccination (median spot-forming units [SFU]/106 of peripheral blood mononuclear cells = 193 vs 175, p = 0.711); these responses were augmented significantly after booster administration among the patients with multiple myeloma (median SFU/106 of peripheral blood mononuclear cells = 235 vs 443, p <0.001). However, the vaccination responses remained highly heterogeneous and diminished over time, with insufficient serological responses occurring even after booster vaccination in a few patients irrespective of the treatment intensity.

CONCLUSIONS: Our data demonstrate improvements in humoral and cellular immunity following booster vaccination and support the assessment of the humoral vaccine response in patients with multiple myeloma until a threshold for protection against severe COVID-19 is validated. This strategy can allow the identification of patients who might benefit from additional protective measures (e.g. pre-exposure prophylaxis via passive immunisation).

Authors: Bazmandegan Gholamreza , Kamiab Zahra , Shafiei Amirmohammad , Khademalhosseini Morteza , Kaeidi Ayat
Published: July 2023

Background: Cisplatin has potent antitumor properties. It has several toxic side effects, such as hepatotoxicity. It is thought that hepatotoxicity induced by cisplatin is caused by oxidative stress. Objectives: It has shown that calcium dobesilate (CD) has potent antioxidant properties. The present study aimed to assess CD protective effects on cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity in mice. Methods: In this study, 28 mice were selected randomly and were divided into four groups, including control, cisplatin (20 mg/kg, i.p., only on the first day of the experiment), Cisplatin+CD 50 (50 mg/kg CD, orally), and Cisplatin+CD 100 (cisplatin with 100 mg/kg CD, orally). A 4-day oral gavage of CD was applied to the treated groups. The mice were sacrificed on the 5th day, and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) enzyme activity levels in liver tissue were evaluated. Histopathological evaluation was assessed using hematoxylin and eosin-stained liver tissue sections. Results: The results indicated that there was a significant increase in GSPT, SGOT, ALP, and MDA and also a significant reduction in the liver activity of SOD and GPx in cisplatin-treated animals. Treatment with CD (100 mg/kg) remarkably attenuated the GSPT, SGOT, ALP, MDA, and ROS levels. Moreover, CD (100 mg/kg) elevated the SOD and GPx activity in the liver tissue of cisplatin-treated mice. Conclusions: The findings showed that CD has a protective effect against cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity, at least by improving the antioxidant parameters.
Green Production and Characterization of Silver Selenide Nanoparticles Using the Cladosporium sp. ssf15 Cell-free Extract
Authors: Ashengroph Morahem , Barshidi Asal
Published: July 2023

Background: Chalcogenide nanoparticles (NPs), such as silver selenide NPs (Ag2Se NPs), are used as quantum dots in pharmaceutical formulations for the detection of cancer cells, as well as in solar cells, sensors, and electrical, optical, and magnetic instruments. Objectives: The physical-chemical production of metal NPs is expensive and difficult and pollutes the environment due to the use of dangerous chemicals and by-products. Hence, green chemistry-based processes must be developed as a reliable alternative. This study investigated indigenous aquatic fungal isolates for Ag2Se NP synthesis. Methods: Visual examination, UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) tests confirmed the synthesis of Ag2Se NPs. Based on the characteristics of the colony, the microscopic features, and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2-ITS4 areas, the selected fungal isolate’s identity was established. Results: The SEM analysis revealed that Cladosporium sp. ssf15 produced spherical Ag2Se NPs with an average diameter of 37.84 nm. The average size of NPs synthesized by the fungal isolate was determined to be 40.92 nm using the DLS analysis, and the polydispersity index (PDI) was determined to be 0.26. Based on the results, regular spherical Ag2Se NPs with correct dispersion distribution were produced using 2 mM AgNO3 and 1mM selenious acid (H2SeO3). Conclusions: The results of this research have the potential to contribute to the development of a biocompatible approach and innovative research methods for investigating the green synthesis of Ag2Se NPs using fungal isolates.

Background: COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Older age, male gender, chronic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, chronic kidney and liver disease, Immunocompromised conditions, malignancies, excessive obesity, disabilities, and pregnancy are risk factors for severe illness or death in COVID-19 patients. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the results of medical care and factors affecting the recovery and death of patients hospitalized in three hospitals affiliated with the Islamic Azad University of Tehran/Iran. Methods: This is a retrospective study, and the information is obtained from the files in the medical records unit of the hospitals. The study was conducted on 1255 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in 3 hospitals affiliated with the Islamic Azad University of Tehran Medical Sciences. In the retrospective study, information was obtained from the files in the medical records unit of the hospitals using the researcher's checklist. The checklist included demographic findings and variables related to the severity of the disease, immune status, underlying systemic diseases, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and variables related to the consequences of the disease. The data was analyzed using SPSS. Qualitative variables were analyzed using frequency and percentage. The chi-square test was used to examine the relationship between variables, and logistic regression was employed to assess this relationship. Results: In this study, the following items were significantly more prevalent in those who recovered: Compliance with home quarantine, dry cough, positive CRP, and presence of ground glass opacity images in CT scan. Moreover, the following items were more evident in those who died: High blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, weakness, fatigue, insomnia, hoarseness, purulent sputum, lobar pneumonia, low Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), seizures, anemia, high erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), increased prothrombin time (PT), decreased serum albumin, and the presence of crazy-paving on CT scan. In all of the above items, P-values were ≤ 0.05. Conclusions: It is suggested that patients hospitalized with symptoms, signs, and conditions commonly seen in cases of dying patients should receive more frequent monitoring and care.

Background: Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is a common surgical procedure in patients with heart disease associated with pain and problems with great saphenous veins (GSVs) wound healing. Objectives: We aimed to determine the effect of aloe vera gel on pain intensity, and GSVs wound healing in non-diabetic patients undergoing CABG. Methods: In this clinical trial, 35 CABG candidate patients fulfilling admission criteria were selected by convenience sampling, and their lower limbs were randomly assigned to the intervention or control group. The wound care for both groups was the same except for using aloe vera gel for the intervention group from the first to the fourth days after surgery. Pain intensity and GSVs wound healing data were collected by Redness, Edema, Ecchymosis, Discharge, and Approximation (REEDA) scale and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) questionnaires on the first, fourth, seventh, and fourteenth days and analyzed by SPSS software. Results: On the seventh day, the mean pain intensity in the intervention group was significantly lower (P = 0.01). The mean scores of wound healing in the intervention limb decreased faster; however, the wound healing score was not significantly different between the two groups at any time (P > 0.05). Using aloe vera gel reduced ecchymosis on the seventh and fourteenth days and reduced pain on the seventh day compared to the control limb (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Aloe vera gel can effectively reduce GSVs' pain intensity and ecchymosis from the seventh day. The topical application of this herb can have various degrees of effectiveness in decreasing pain and speeding up the healing of surgical wounds.

Efeitos do realce do input no noticing e na aprendizagem da gramática em PLE: um estudo de rastreamento ocular
Authors: Santos Sara
Published: July 2023

This work aims to investigate the effects of input enhancement vs. input flood on noticing and grammatical development in Chinese learners of Portuguese as a foreign language. Thirty-six participants were divided in two groups: the experimental group (n = 18) performed a reading task with enhanced input and the control group (n = 18) read the same text without enhancement. The target form was the present subjunctive used in three specific contexts. A pretest/ posttest design was used, and four eye tracking measures were selected (first fixation duration, gaze duration, total fixation duration and fixation count). Grammar correction increased significantly in the posttest of both groups. In the unenhanced group (i.e., input flood group) learners’ noticing on the target-form was significantly higher through first fixation duration. Thus, the input enhancement hypothesis (Sharwood Smith, 1991, 1993) was not confirmed, as enhancement did not promote noticing nor a deeper processing of the input. Pedagogical implications of this research are discussed.
A corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis of hate speech in German and Polish social media posts

The present paper investigates linguistic data that include hate speech motivated by the alleged or real ethnic or national identity of its addressee in German and Polish Internet-based communication. Focusing on hate speech on Facebook, this paper contributes to the studies of hate speech (e.g. Meibauer, 2013; Meibauer, 2021) in online communication (e.g. Baider & Constantinou, 2020; He et al., 2021; Founta & Specia, 2021) and, in a more general sense, to the vast area of research on the use of aggressive language. Based on a representative corpus, the predominant categories of user-generated hateful statements are teased out relative to their form and stance by means of critical discourse analysis and corpus linguistics tools. In the analytical part, we discuss the discursive practices used in the posts, together with the meanings they communicate, followed by a comparative analysis of their frequencies in comparable corpora. Our findings confirm that hate speech is linguistically conditioned by its socio-cultural context. For instance, our contrastive analysis of German and Polish online data indicates that the two nationalities use different discursive practices to express their aversion to the Other, and that Polish comments are more overtly insulting than German comments.

resented here is a model objectivizing real estate prices so that prices across time could be compared to understand historical price trends and also to assist in a property evaluation or appraisal, as well as for the analysis of comparables in estimating a reasonable offer for a property on the market. Given a timespan of interest, a locale (e.g., a particular zipcode, a city, a county, a state), a category of properties of interest (e.g., condos), an objective historical trend in values can be computed by first evaluating the ratios between the transactions’ realized prices and objective governmental assessment of the properties at some fixed point of time; then, for each period (a month) averaging the ratios of all transaction in that period; then, comparing said averages (or medians) between different periods.
