The Impact of Different Drugs on Daphnias Capacity to Survive, Growth, and Reproduce
Authors: Kumari Rekha , Malik Prof. Dr. Jitendra
Published: January 2023

Abstract: There may be drugs in many of the world's surface waters, but not much is known about how these chemicals affect aquatic life. We used Daphnia magna, a common species of freshwater zooplankton, to test how dangerous single drugs and drug combinations are in water. During both the short-term and long-term pharmacological bioassays, we looked at the life span, appearance, size, number of eggs laid at rest, number of offspring, and percentage of males in the population. We also looked at the rates of death among newborns. The acute stage only lasted six days, but the chronic stage lasted thirty (sex ratio). The Daphnia with a single drug at concentrations ranging from 1 to 100 lg/l didn't change how the organism normally worked. When clofibric acid was given to Daphnia at a concentration of 10 lg/l, their ability to reproduce was much better than when they were given fluoxetine at a concentration of 36 lg/l. Both of these outcomes were better than expected. When fluoxetine at 36 lg/l and clofibric acid at 100 lg/l were given together, they killed a lot of people. When the same dose of fluoxetine was mixed with 10 lg/l of clofibric acid, it caused the carapaces to be misshapen and the setae to move around. The number of males to females in a Daphnia culture changed after it was given three to five antibiotics at doses between 30 and 500 lg/l.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lim Myeong Nam , Lee Myeong woo
Published: January 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study aims to provide basic data on single-session counseling conducted in the clinical field by examining the counseling experience of single-session counseling clients based on case conceptualization and what the experience means in the context of their lives.
Methods As a narrative exploration method that can help participants separate problems from themselves and explore exceptional situations outside the problem, this researcher conducted a study on a pair of prospective couples who have experienced single counseling. To this end, after three in-depth video interviews were conducted from June 16, 2021 to November 8, 2021, additional interviews were conducted by phone or text message.
Results The results of the study are as follows. First, participants were disappointed, but they participated in counseling more honestly and actively since it was a single counseling. Second, through single counseling, participants increased their self-understanding as well as self-acceptance. Third, as the participant participated in the single consultation, recognized and accepted problems, and decided to try for change, so felt lighthearted. Fourth, through the experience of single counseling, participants were able to have a positive perception of counseling, and if they faced problems that were difficult to solve alone in their daily lives again, they wanted to be consulted again.
Conclusions Based on the results of the study, the counseling implications and limitations were presented, and the single counseling experience improved the image of counseling, but it was regrettable to experience the changed results directly by changing one's old habits in daily life. Therefore, it is necessary to study so that case conceptualization education is conducted in detail and in detail so that the effect of single counseling can be further improved through counselor training. It can be seen that this study has implications in that it showed how to approach and conduct single counseling in the clinical field.
Über die Variation bū́tų ~ bū́t und mū́sų, jū́sų ~ mū́s, jū́s im Litauischen und ihren Hintergrund in den prosodischen Verhältnissen des Urostbaltischen
Authors:   Universität zu Köln, Fries Simon
Published: January 2023

Ältere (und jüngere) Dialektaufzeichnungen des Litauischen zeigen eine bislang unerklärte Variation zwischen Kurz- und Langformen der dritten Person Konjunktiv: Sie belegen die sprachhistorisch erwartete Langform 3Konj. bū́tų ‚sein‘ neben der sprachhistorisch unerwarteten Kurzform 3Konj. bū́t, der das auslautende -ų fehlt. Diese Variation begegnet auch in der Flexion der Nomina, namentlich bei Gen.Pl. mū́sų, jū́sų gegenüber mū́s, jū́s. Das Ziel des vorliegenden Beitrages ist es, das ursprüngliche Verteilungsmuster dieser Formen zu ermitteln und zu ergründen, wie ihre Variation entstanden ist. Der Vergleich einschlägiger Befunde aus dem Litauischen und Lettischen legt nahe, dass die Verteilung der Kurz- und Langformen ursprünglich durch prosodische Faktoren bestimmt wurde: Die Langformen waren prosodisch eigenständige Standardformen, während die Kurzformen Kontextvarianten waren, die durch den Ausfall eines auslautenden *-uñ als das jeweils letzte Element einer komplexen Intonationseinheit aufkamen. Dabei ist urostbaltisches Alter des Ausfalls von *-uñ und der Entstehung der Variation zwischen Lang- und Kurzformen äußerst wahrscheinlich, was weitere Forschungen im Bereich der Prosodie der baltischen Sprachen anregt.
Preparing for the End of Life: Medical Students Completing Their Own Advance Directives Described Increased Empathy for Patients
Authors: Erlich Deborah , Lee Amy , Duggan Ashley , Walec Karol
Published: January 2023

Background and Objectives: Family medicine offers the opportunity to integrate advance care planning into routine primary care, connecting relationship-centered orientation with thoughtful action before a terminal diagnosis. However, physicians are undertrained in end-of-life counseling and care. To address this educational gap, we had clerkship students complete their own advance directives and submit a written reflection about the experience. The aim of this study was to learn about how students report on the value of completing their own advance directives, according to their written reflections. We hypothesized that self-described empathy, previously defined as understanding patients’ emotions and communicating that understanding back to patients, would increase, as reported by students in their reflections.
Methods: We analyzed 548 written reflections over 3 academic years using a qualitative content analysis approach. An iterative process included open coding, building of themes, and verification with the text by four professionally diverse researchers.
Results: After completing their own advance directives, students reported increased empathy for patients facing end-of-life decisions and discussed the intention to change their future clinical practice regarding helping patients plan for the end of life.
Conclusions: Using experiential empathy, an approach to teaching and cultivating empathy in which the participants experience the topic first-hand, we directed medical students to consider their own end-of-life wishes. Upon reflection, many noted this process changed their attitudes and clinical approaches to patients’ death. This learning experience could be one meaningful component of a longitudinal and comprehensive curriculum to prepare medical school graduates to help patients plan for and face the end of life.
Laws on Education as a Tool of the National-Language Policy of the Country: 2000–2020
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Goryacheva Maria A.
Published: January 2023

The article examines the legislative activity in the Russian Federation in the field of educational policy for twenty years (2000–2020), in the context of the main milestones of the country’s national language policy. It also briefly talks about a large number of structures of different levels and types of organization that have arisen or been restructured during this time. At the beginning of the period under review, the state had to solve two basic tasks: centralization and strengthening of the power vertical and building a civil society. The national language policy of the country also took into account these guidelines. The most important tasks of the language policy are to maintain linguistic diversity and support the Russian language as the state language of the Russian Federation, as the language of unity. One of the most important tools at the disposal of the country’s national language policy, including language planning itself, is the education system. Therefore, the legislative activity aimed at it is also in line with the main trends of the national language policy. At the same time, a number of concepts and doctrines bear traces of internal contradictions and some inconsistency, which is generally corrected during this period. The main attention is paid to the laws of the federal level.
Repertoire and Scope of Functions of the Languages of the Peoples of the Russian Federation in Schools in Moscow: 2011/12–2021/22 Academic Years
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Goryacheva Maria A.
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to such an important direction of sociolinguistics as the study of communicative spheres. The purpose of the article is to conduct a diachronic study of the repertoire and scope of the functions of the languages of the peoples of Russia in Moscow schools over the past ten years. To solve this problem, a set of statistical and factual data on the communicative sphere of education, reflecting the functioning of languages in school education, was analyzed. First of all, it is the number of schoolchildren using languages in the following functions: teaching aids; subject of study (an optional format is considered separately). A significant place in the article is also devoted to such an important function of the Russian language for a large city with a large number of migrants as adaptation. Data on the levels of education are also involved: grades 1–4, 5–9, 10–11. To solve the problem posed in the study, it was necessary to enter the statistical data on the field of education in a broader context. To do this, a number of linguo-demographic parameters were considered: the size of the ethnic group, the number of those who indicated the possession and nonknowledge of the Russian language, in absolute numbers and in percentages. The author also briefly considers the main trends in educational policy, and the place that the preservation of languages and cultures with a simultaneous vector to strengthen the unity of the Russian nation as a supranational, supracultural entity based on the Russian base such a task plays among them.
On the Implementation of Ethno-Linguistic Policy in Modern Russia
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Mikhalchenko Vida Yu.
Published: January 2023

Currently, a language reform carried out in Russia is aimed at implementing an ethno-linguistic policy in the field of expanding the functioning of ethnic languages in various areas of communication. Social linguistics has a large repertoire of methods for collecting and interpreting sociolinguistic material (questionnaires, surveys, tests, monitoring, research of written sources, etc.). However, these methods are applicable only to the study of the functional state of the language and its dynamics. During the reform period, new methods and techniques are needed to stimulate the development of various areas of communication in the ethnic language, as well as to support and activate the linguistic communities included in these areas of communication. The possibilities of optimizing the use of the ethnic language in various areas of communication are revealed in the article on the example of one of them — a newspaper. The author comes to the conclusion that at present, under the existing paradigm of “state bilingualism”, the process of functional complementarity is completed in favor of a more developed and more widespread language, ready to serve this sphere of communication. The importance of further study of ways to retain the social functions of ethnic languages is emphasized.
Urbanimic Component of the Linguo-Cultural Space of the Modern City in the Aspect of Information Ecology
Authors:   Ufa University of Science and Technology, Salikhova Elvina A.
Published: January 2023

The object of the study is selected features of urban names that determine their functional effectiveness. The ergonymic components of the onomasticon in the capital city of the Republic of Bashkortostan are characterized; models of spontaneous informal nomination related to the citizens’ communicative needs are described; factors violating the ecology of the onomastic space of Ufa are identified. The similarity of the toponymy of the large cities of Bashkiria to the urbanonymy of other Russian cities is noted. The sources of emergence of equivalents of official names in the citizens’ colloquial speech are determined. These colloquial equivalents emerged out of the need to distinguish objects with the same names or functions, to simplify the complicated structure of an official name, or to bring some expressiveness and language game into the everyday communication of citizens. The texts of the signboards and advertisement are interesting from a scientific point of view because they represent changes in the social, economic and political life of the city, reflecting the linguistic and national-cultural specifics of the republic’s capital. Signage forms the linguistic and cultural space of a modern city, so its analysis is relevant to the linguistic ecology and language policy. Finally, criteria for environmental friendliness of an urban name are proposed.
Chinese Language in the Linguistic Landscape of Moscow
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics of the RAS, Kaplunova Maria Ya.
Published: January 2023

Despite the period of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had a negative impact on the development of world tourism, megacities of the world, including Moscow, continue to increase the pace of creating a comfortable environment for foreign guests, part of which is the language of international communication. The function of such a language is traditionally performed by English, which was especially noticeable during the FIFA World Cup in 2018, the final part of which was held in Russian cities, including Moscow. At the same time, Chinese has become the second language of international communication that has become widespread in the language landscape of the Russian capital, provided by stable Russian-Chinese interstate relations that ensure ties between the two countries in the business and educational spheres. The article is devoted to the analysis of the areas of use of Chinese in the language landscape of Moscow, which includes the business sector, transport infrastructure, tourism, as well as the sphere of culture and religion.
Voluntary sustainability reporting and financial performance: Evidence from Global Reporting Initiative disclosures in the developing economy
Authors: Isiaka Abiodun Sherifat
Published: January 2023

Considering the growing interest in sustainability reporting and the benefits of sustainability initiatives to developing countries (Ali, Frynas, & Mahmood, 2017), the scarcity of studies on sustainability in developing climes is surprising. This study examines the trend of voluntary sustainability reporting in Africa and the relationship between sustainability disclosures and firms’ financial performance. This paper measures sustainability disclosures using content analysis of the Global Reporting Initiative Guidelines (GRI G4) for total disclosure and the sub-categories of economic, environmental, and social disclosures. Financial performance measures are return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). Results of the multiple comparison of means do not show any significant improvement in sustainability reporting over the study period. Results of the multiple regression analysis, however, reveal a positive relationship between measures of sustainability disclosures and both ROA and ROE. Additional results show that disclosing firms do not generally have their sustainability reports assured and are from countries with poor sustainability performance. These findings contribute to the literature in reconciling the mixed results from prior studies (Aggarwal, 2013; Al Hawaj & Buallay, 2022) and are useful to the GRI organization in making improvements to their reporting guidelines, particularly as to how the improvements touch African countries.

Published: January 2023

Functional microbes have important application potential in the
remediation of contaminated sites. The research on the application of
chlorobenzenes (CBs) degrader in situ remediation is still limited. This
study focused on the degradation performance of CBs degrader
Serratia marcescens strain TF-1 in laboratory culture and
contaminated soil. TF-1 assimilated chlorobenzene (CB) with degradation
rate of 0.22-0.66 mg·g ·h
in concentration of 20-200 mg·L
. In addition, TF-1 also used sodium succinate and
sodium citrate as substrates to co-metabolize CB, with degradation rates
of 0.26-2.00 and 0.31-1.72 mol·g ·h , respectively. The addition
of TF-1 and sodium succinate in contaminated soil can remarkably promote
the removal of CBs. Finally, combination of biostimulation and
bioaugmentation using sodium succinate and TF-1 were carried out in a
test field and CBs were almost completely removed by TF-1 within 10 d.
Sequence analysis suggested that TF-1 colonized successfully in field
soil, and the indigenous microorganism Azoarcus could be
enriched. The novel strain was used for in-situ CBs biodegradation for
the first time, and the results provide guidance for remediation of
organic contaminated soil.

Published: January 2023

Medication reviews focusing on deprescribing can reduce potentially
inappropriate medication; however, evidence regarding the effects on
health-related outcomes is scares. In a real-life, quality improvement
project, we aimed to investigate how a general practitioner-led
medication review intervention with focus on deprescribing affected
health-related outcomes. We performed a before-after intervention study
including care home residents and community-dwelling patients affiliated
with a large Danish general practice. The primary outcomes were changes
in self-reported health status, general condition, and functional level
from baseline to 3-4 months follow-up. Of 105 included patients, 87
completed follow-up. From baseline to follow-up, 255 medication changes
were made, of which 83% were deprescribing. Mean self-reported health
status increased from 7.3 to 7.9 (0.6 [95% CI: 0.2 to 0.9]); the
proportion of patients with general condition rated as “average or
above” was stable (74.7% to 80.5% (5.7% [95% CI: -3.4 to
14.9]); and the proportion of patients with functional level “without
any disability” was stable (58.6% to 54.0% (-4.6% [95% CI: -10.1
to 1.0]). In conclusion, this general practitioner-led medication
review intervention led to deprescribing and increased self-reported
health status without deterioration of general condition or functional
level in real-life primary care patients.
Teachers’ Perceptions regarding Moral Education in Private and Public Schools in Karachi: A Comparative Study
Authors: Siddiqui Rabia , Soomro Kamal A.
Published: January 2023

Moral education is a stimulation of the natural development of learners’ moral judgement, which in turn, enables them to manage their behaviour. Schools can be successful in developing moral values in students through teachers and a positive school environment. However, due to teachers’ packed routines and lack of school attention towards the moral domain, this aspect of teaching is mainly neglected. The current quantitative study aimed to explore teachers’ perceptions in private and public sector schools regarding the development of moral values through formal education using a survey. It further endeavoured to draw a comparison between the teachers’ perceptions regarding moral education in private and public schools for a better insight into moral development of students for a holistic learning environment. Findings revealed that teachers from both sectors believedreligion to be the prime source of moral values. They perceived teaching moral values as important but were less focused on modelling themselves as moral agents. Furthermore, there were no significant differences between the perceptions of public and private sector teachers regarding the importance, efficacy, and practice of moral education. However, a moderate correlation between perceived importance and subsequent practices was found to some extent.
Pakistan’s First ever Participation in International Large-Scale Assessment (TIMSS): Critique and Implications
Authors: Ahmad Sohail , Rodrigues Sherwin , Muzaffar Bhutta Sadia
Published: January 2023

The International Large-Scale Assessment (ILSA) is a rapidly growing field in education which has gained considerable attention of stakeholders across the globe. Historically, ILSA emerged from the developed context which has drifted to the developing contexts in a short span of time due to globalisation. Pakistan has participated in ILSA (i.e., TIMSS) for the first time in the 2019 cycle. In light of the global critique on ILSA, this paper presents a critical analysis on Pakistan’s participation in TIMSS by raising questions embedded in contextual realities. The discussion adds to the understanding of ILSA in terms of historical developments, theoretical underpinnings towards participation in ILSA, and the general as wellas context-specific critique on ILSA. The paper ends with the argument in favour of strengthening national LSA instead of relying only on ILSA.
Upholding Social Integrity in Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Dar Fatima , Asad Muniza
Published: January 2023

Higher education institutions as seats for higher learning are expected to maintainhigh standards of social integrity and embed the same in routine academic andsocial operations. For this it is first important to highlight the types of malpracticesthat negatively impact a work environment and identify their causes. Moreover, itis incumbent to seek viable solutions to ward off such degenerative practices. Oneof the solutions is to involve statutory bodies, develop and enforce whistleblowingpolicies across academic institutions so that academic or moral corruption can beunearthed and properly investigated. Moreover, such policies should safeguard theidentity of the whistleblowers and provide them with all kinds of organizationalprotection and security. Unless appropriate policy directions underlining strictand legal actions against the wrongdoers are not in place, such misconducts willcontinue to taint the image and integrity of academic institutions.

Published: January 2023

Introduction. ALBO-HA (Vinca, Serbia) is new nanostructured calcium aluminate
cement, synthesized as a potential alternative to mineral trioxide aggregate
(MTA). The purpose of this study was to compare the periapical tissue
response to new nanostructured calcium aluminate cement ALBO-HA with white
MTA (MTA Angelus, Londrina, Brasil) as root-filling material into the root
canal of sheep?s teeth. Material and methods. Sixteen mandibular incisors
from two 24-month-old sheep were used. Root canals were prepared and filled
with ALBO-HA (group 1) or MTA (group 2) (eight teeth per group in each
sheep). After four weeks the animals were sacrificed, teeth with surrounding
tissue removed, and histologically processed. The sections were analyzed for
determination of scores of the following parameters: periapical inflammatory
infiltrate, newly mineralized apically formed tissue, apical periodontal
ligament space thickness and resorption of dentin, cementum and bone. Data
were analyzed statistically (?=0.05) using Mann-Whitney U test. Results.
Slight inflammatory infiltrate was observed in 75.0% and 62.5% of samples in
the group 1 and group 2, respectively (p>0.05). Partial newly mineralized
apically formed tissue was found in 75.0% of samples in the group 1, and
87.5% of samples in group 2 (p>0.05). No significant difference was noted
for periodontal ligament space thickness (p>0.05). Resorption of dentin,
cementum or bone was not observed. Conclusion. ALBO-HA and white MTA Angelus
had a similar effect on inflammation, newly mineralized apical tissue
formation and thickness of periodontal ligament space after root canal
filling under the present experimental conditions.
Mandibular overdenture retained with precision balls and bar attachment
Authors: Postic Srdjan
Published: January 2023

Introduction. Milled precision bar with the lateral additions of two
precision attachments could significantly contribute to the primary and
secondary retention of partial denture and overdenture. This clinical case
demonstrates stability of mandibular overdenture using milled precision bar
and two coronally positioned precision attachments. Case report. A
sixty-five years old male patient had two preserved canine roots in lower
jaw. Semicircular metal-ceramic (PFM) bridge was previously fabricated for
upper teeth. Decision for fabrication of milled bar and metal framework of
overdenture was established due to the presence of PFM bridge in the upper
jaw. The root canals of the two remaining mandibular canines were prepared
for posts. After final mandibular impression using A-silicone in a custom
tray, master cast with prepared canals of roots of canines was provided. Two
posts connected with milled precision bar were designed. Coronal
attachments-patrixs were positioned onto the tip of each coronal part of the
construction with axial direction of precision attachments towards root
canals. The construction was invested and casted. Metal framework of
overdenture was designed and casted. After interocclusal record, the
artificial anatomic teeth were selected and waxed model of overdenture with
matrixes was provided for try-in clinical phase. Finally, the overdenture
was flasked and polished. Metal construction of two posts and milled bar
were cemented simultaneously with overdenture, using self-adhesive resin
cement. Conclusion. Milled bar improves retention and stability of metal
framework of overdenture. Coronally positioned patrix of attachment provides
redirection of occlusal and other functional forces towards apical root
parts.

Authors: Velickovic Stefan , Matijevic Stevo , Jovicic Bojan , Bubalo Marija , Stevanovic Momir , Vasovic Miroslav
Published: January 2023

Background/Aim. A lingual foramen (LF) is a small opening on the lingual surface of the mandible, most frequently located in the middle of the anterior part of the mandible, and shows significant variations in its location, size, and number. The aim of this study was to assess the location and anatomical characteristics of LF using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods. The research was designed as a retrospective study in which 99 CBCT scans were analyzed. The analysis covered the number of LF, their location concerning the teeth and the mandibular region itself, diameter, distance from the alveolar ridge crest, distance from the inferior border of the mandible, distance from the tooth apex, and position in relation to the tooth apex. Results. The average frequency of LF per patient was 2.4 ? 1.2. The largest number of LF were localized in the region of lower central incisors. Out of the total number of LF, 82.5% belonged to median LF, while 17.5% belonged to lateral LF. In 63.2% of cases, LF had a diameter of ? 1 mm, whereas, in 98.3% of cases, it was localized below the tooth apex. There was a statistically significant difference in the distance of LF from the alveolar ridge crest and the LF diameter in relation to gender (p = 0.019; p = 0.008). Conclusion. LF can be reliably localized and visualized using CBCT. It is recommended that CBCT scanning of the mandible be used while planning an oral surgical procedure and implant placement in order to prevent injuries of the neurovascular bundle, which passes through LF.

Published: January 2023

Enerji dünyanın kritik kaynaklarının başında gelmektedir. Bu sebeple enerji tasarrufu ve verimlilik önemli bir çalışma konusudur. Enerji tasarrufunun sağlanabilmesi için ısı transferinin iyileştirilmesi ile ısı değiştiricilerin kompaktlığı gibi ihtiyaçların doğması ile ısı değiştiricilerde kullanılan geleneksel akışkanların yerine ısı transferi iyileştirmesini sağlayacak yeni akışkan arayışı sebebiyle literatürde teorik ve deneysel çalışmalar bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ısı transferi iyileştirmesinin sağlanmasında verimli sonuçların elde edildiği Al2O3 ve SiO2 nanoparçacıklarının düşük katı hacim yerine yüksek katı hacim oranlarında ve temel akışkan etilen glikol-su karışımlarının oranları değiştirilerek farklı hacimsel debilerde sıcak ve soğuk akışkanların kullanıldığı, eş merkezli, iç içe borulu, paralel ve zıt akışlı bir ısı değiştiricinin ısıl ve hidrolik performansı sayısal olarak incelenmiştir. Sıcak akışkan tarafında su, soğuk akışkan tarafında %0:100, %40:60, %60:40 ve %100:0 olmak üzere farklı oranlardaki etilen glikol-su karışımı içerisine %0, %2, %4, %6 katı hacim konsantrasyonlarında ve farklı Reynolds sayılarında (6000 – 8000 – 12000 – 16000 - 20000) Al2O3 ve SiO2 nanoparçacıkların eklenmesiyle elde edilen nanoakışkanlar kullanılmıştır. Sayısal çalışmaların sonuçlarına göre, zıt akış altında sıcak akışkan olan suyun sabit hacimsel debi değeri 3 l/dk, nanoakışkanların sabit hacimsel debi değeri 0,9 l/dk ve Reynolds sayısı 20000 alındığında, %6 katı hacim oranı için Al2O3-%100:0 EG/su ve SiO2-%100:0 EG/su nanoakışkanlarının Nusselt sayısında, %0:100 EG/su oranına kıyasla sırasıyla %15,4 ve %9,1 oranında artış olmuştur. Sonuçlar, zıt akışlı bir ısı değiştiricideki basınç düşümünün yüksek değerlerde olmasının yanında, Isı değiştirici performasının paralel akışa göre daha iyi olduğunu, nanoakışkanın içerdiği katı hacim oranın artmasıyla Nusselt sayısının arttığını ve Al2O3-%100:0 EG/su nanoakışkanının hem %0:100 EG/su oranına hem de SiO2- %100:0 EG/su nanoakışkanına göre ssı değiştiricinin performansını artırmada daha etkili olduğunu göstermektedir.

Metode yang digunakan adalah training of trainer (TOT) yaitu pemberian materi melalui ceramah, praktek langsung dan pendampingan. Pemberian materi melalui ceramah yaitu melakukan transfer ilmu pengetahuan bagaimana proses produksi abon ikan lele menggunakan mesin spinner untuk proses penirisan minyak dan standarisasi dari mutu abon ikan. Tahap praktek yaitu melakukan proses pembuatan abon ikan lele yang juga diikuti oleh para anggota Kelompok Tani BALEPA sampai dengan proses pengemasan produk. Untuk tahap pendampingan yaitu melakukan evaluasi dari produk abon ikan yang sudah dihasilkan dari Kelompok Tani BALEPA. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini akan dilakukan dari 20 Agustus 2022 – 20 Oktober 2022.

Consumers increasingly use mobile applications because of the convenience and mobility of use. However, the short application development time and demands to maintain application quality and user satisfaction require a fast and thorough testing process. Many software testers currently test their software manually, causing problems, such as longer test times, inconsistent testing, and the need for human intervention to perform all tests. Therefore, a Quality Assurance Automatic Testing (QA AT) system was created based on mind map diagrams to overcome the earlier problems. QA AT is a script designed to verify the software requirements. The method to develop the QA AT script is as follow. Firstly,  develop a Business Process diagram. Secondly, create the Mind Map diagram. Thirdly, build test cases scenarios based on the mind map diagram. Then translate the testing scenarios into testing scripts. Finally, the test scripts run on Katalon Studio platform. The QA AT system transforms the testing process into automated testing.  The results show that automated testing can shorten test time by 86%,. Further, reducing human involvement, creating a consistent testing environment, and providing a detailed report.

Published: January 2023

Early childhood education has a very important role and position in a nation and becomes the basis for the next stage of development. Teachers have a role in children's education at school, and parents are responsible for children's growth and development at home. The problem that often arises is the mismatch between treatment in kindergarten by teachers, and treatment at home by parents, which makes child development less optimal. Educational Parenting program is considered as an effective program in providing understanding to parents about early childhood. Most of them use the lecture method, and it is still rare to use the role-play method as a learning tool for parents to understand early childhood with general material. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of educational parenting programs to increase parental understanding of early childhood socio-emotional development. The educational parenting program was held for a day, using 43 parents. The results show that this educational parenting program makes parents more comprehensive in their understanding of early childhood, including chronological age and cognitive, socio-emotional, and psychomotor development. The stimulation that parents can provide in socio-emotional development is in the form of communication skills, introducing emotions, and managing emotions in order to express them more precisely. During this program, parents were enthusiastic and expressed their desire to do parenting programs with the same model again. Thus it can be stated that educational parenting programs with the roleplay method for parents of early childhood can increase parental understanding of early childhood and appropriate stimulation for early childhood socio-emotional development.
