Analysing science teachers’ difficulties in teaching the concept of electricity in junior high school
Authors: Hermawati Tina
Published: May 2023

Electricity is a material that is considered difficult for science teachers to provide understanding to students so as to encourage researchers to find out what are the obstacles for science teachers in teaching the concept of electricity in junior high schools. The focus of this research is trying to uncover what obstacles are experienced by science teachers in teaching electricity in terms of facilities and infrastructure, preparation of lesson plans, learning processes, and assessment of learning outcomes. This study uses a case study research design with quantitative and qualitative approaches with the subject being a science teacher who is a member of the science teacher community in Garut Regency. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that: (1) teachers experience obstacles in terms of facilities because of inadequate teaching aids and also the absence of laboratory personnel so that activities in the laboratory are limited, (2) teachers also experience obstacles in terms of lesson planning, the obstacles experienced are the teachers are not yet creative in developing learning media for dynamic electricity, there is also no development of modules and worksheet, (3) in the implementation of electricity learning the teacher has difficulty in delivering electricity material related to equations/formulas because the teacher’s understanding of dynamic electric formulas is limited and students’ mathematical abilities are low, (4) in the assessment and evaluation of learning teachers experience obstacles in developing affective and psychomotor assessments, the ability of teachers to develop tests is low, and the use of various forms of assessment instruments.

Published: May 2023

The marriage law regarding the minimum age for marriage has been updated to 19 years to prevent early marriage, protect children's rights, and reduce the divorce rate. In the Jombang District Religious Court, the increase in the minimum age for marriage has resulted in an increase in the number of dispensations for marriage. This study discusses how the latest law regarding the minimum age limit for marriage is implemented and the impact of this law. This research is an empirical research with a qualitative approach and the primary data collection method is through interviews with judges at the Religious Court of Jombang Regency. The results of this study found that the application of Law Number 16 of 2019 in the Jombang Regency Religious Court was not optimal. Evidenced by the significant increase in cases after the passing of the law. This is caused by factors of education and public awareness that is still low. This law is an attempt by the government to reduce the number of early marriages that have occurred recently. However, the implementation of the Law on limiting the age for marriage is constrained by the low level of public education and the economic level of some people who are still below average. As a recommendation, a concrete step is needed so that the implementation of the law on limiting the age of marriage becomes optimal, including the empowerment of regional officials, religious leaders and community leaders.

A brit nemzetbiztonság rövid ismertetője
Authors: Paroda Zsolt
Published: May 2023

Dolgozatomban az Egyesült Királyság nemzetbiztonságát kívánom górcső alá venni. A megadott hazai irodalom vonatkozó részeinek áttekintésén túl is igyekeztem elmélyülni a szakirodalomban, feltérképezni a vonatkozó publikációkat, a brit jogforrásokat és pontosabb, mélyebb rálátást nyerni a brit nemzetbiztonság jelen helyzetéről, felépítéséről és kihívásairól. Akaratlanul is, mintegy mellékvonalként került elő a brit viszonyoknak a hazai szabályozással való alkalmankénti összevetése. Szomorú aktualitást ad az elemzésnek a február óta zajló ukrajnai háború, hiszen a szenvedés nyilvánvaló csökkentése iránti igény mellett a háborús helyzet több szempontból is rávilágít a nemzetbiztonsági szolgálatok szerepére, azok fontosságára, a megelőzést, a válságkezelést és annak utóhatását tekintve is. Nagy-Britanniának az ukrán háború – egy totális nukleáris konfliktust leszámítva – kevesebb bonyodalmat okoz,mint a nála keletebbre elhelyezkedő NATO-partnerállamoknak. A szigetország alapvetően más jellegű problémákkal néz szembe. Ezek között szerepel a nagy létszámú muszlim és más vallású közösségek integrációja, a volt gyarmatbirodalomból máig nagy számban a szigetekre költöző természetes személyek által generált nemzetbiztonsági kockázatok és tényezők sokasága. Fel kell tenni a kérdést, hogy képesek-e a brit nemzetbiztonsági szolgálatatok e helyzet kezelésére?

The shifting role of journalism in a digital age has affected long-standing journalistic norms across media platforms. This has reinvigorated discussion on how work in online newsrooms compares to other platforms that differ in media affordances and forms. Still, more studies are needed on whether those differences translate into distinct practices, especially when examining cross-national studies. Based on the second wave of the Journalistic Role Performance (JRP) project, this article reports the findings of a content analysis of 148,474 stories produced by 365 media organizations from 37 countries, comparing the performance of journalistic roles in online newsrooms to three other types of media—TV, radio, and print. The paper analyzes if journalistic roles present themselves differently across platforms, and if these differences are constant or they vary across countries. Results show that there are measurable differences in role performance in online journalism compared to other platforms. Platform had a significant impact, particularly in terms of service and infotainment orientation, while the implementation of roles oriented toward public service was more similar. Additionally, country differences in the relationship between role performance and platforms mainly emerged for roles that enable political influence on news coverage, with differences in the relationship between online vs. traditional platforms appearing to be distinct features of the specific political system.
Differences in academic stress and stress coping style by characteristics of nursing undergraduates
Authors: Jafaru Yahaya , Afolabi Esther Kikelomo , Omishakin Monisola Yetunde Jane
Published: May 2023

Background: The need to act against stress required effective coping strategies for students to cope with academic activities. However, the degree of stress and type of coping style differ between nursing students; and assessing the nursing program’s level of stress for intervention planning is recommended to nurse educators.Purpose: To examine the differences in academic stress and stress coping style by characteristics of nursing undergraduates.Method: The descriptive study adopted a cross-sectional design with undergraduate nursing students as the population of the study. Census sampling was used, and the academic stress inventory and the stress coping style inventory were the instruments for data collection. The results were presented in means and standard deviations, and ANOVA was used for inferential analysis.Results: There was a significant difference in peer stress across the age brackets, (p = 0.004). The male respondents have lower mean academic stress than female respondents except for peer stress. There was a significant difference between the mean academic stress between the two genders in teacher stress and peer stress, p = 0.02 and 0.04 respectively. The mean academic stress is higher at 300 and 400 levels except in studying in groups stress. Active problem coping is having the highest mean score across all age brackets. There is no significant difference in stress coping style across all the factors. Male respondents have higher mean stress coping style than female respondents in active emotional coping and active problem coping with a significant difference, p = 0.011 and 0.045 respectively. The 500-level respondents have the highest mean stress coping style across all the factors than respondents from other levels.Conclusion: In planning interventions against academic stress for undergraduate nursing students, preference for test stress should be given to lower age brackets. Female students require more attention than male students. The 300 and 400-level students should be considered more than the other levels. Moreover, different methods of coping, where to apply them and the consequences of each should be taught to students irrespective of their age, gender, or level of study.
Veiled Integration: The Use of Headscarves among a Christian Minority in Sweden
Authors: Nordin Magdalena , Westergren Andreas
Published: May 2023

In this article, we trace a specific ‘situated bodily practice’, namely the ‘act of covering’ the head with a scarf during liturgy, in a church that has migrated from the Middle East to Sweden. This ‘veiled tradition’ is interpreted as a ‘ritual of migration’ that can cast light on the complexities of re-producing traditions in a new setting, functioning as a ‘cultural prism’ for the question of integration. The broader aim is to nuance the symbolic value given to the veil in political discourse in the West, as a sign of (non-)integration. The empirical basis for this study has mainly been film analyses of liturgies in Syriac Orthodox congregations in Sweden. Building on an analysis of this material, four different usages of the headscarf could be traced: as ordinary dress, that in theory should cover the hair, but seldom did; as festal dress, resembling an accessory; as liturgical dress, used both as a token of piety and spiritual authority, and not to dress in a headscarf, resisting gender discrimination. These usages are compared to, but not fully explained by the idea of ‘new veiling’ among Muslim women, and therefore broaden the understanding of veiled traditions in a migration context.

Urban Fijian Indigenous Families’ Positive and Negative Diet, Eating and Food Purchasing Experiences During the COVID 19 Safety Protocols
Authors: Buksh Shazna
Published: May 2023

The Greater Suva Urban Area (GSUA) is the most densely populated area in Fiji and
was greatly affected by the second wave of the COVID-19 outbreak. This study
explores how lockdown and other COVID-19 safety protocols impacted the diets,
eating behaviour and food purchasing behaviour of iTaukei (indigenous Fijian)
families living in the GSUA. In-depth interviews with 13 iTaukei mothers from
diverse socio-economic and occupational backgrounds highlight that loss of income
was related to food insecurity, which also affected access to balanced meals and
dietary diversity. Women also noted positive changes, including (1) reduced
consumption of red and processed meat, (2) increased consumption of fruits and
vegetables, (3) reduction in eating out and greater reliance on home-cooked meals,
(4) reduction in food wastage, (5) increase in home gardening, and (6) greater
concern for health and well-being. Unhealthy eating behaviours were also recorded,
including greater reliance on energy-dense foods, increased cooking and baking of
unhealthy foods, increased snacking, and replacing dinner with tea, snacks and
sugary foods. These findings raise concerns about the long-term effects of COVID19 safety protocols on health and well-being and provide insights into opportunities
for promoting healthier eating lifestyles, better management of resources, and
enhancing food security.

Objective : This animal model aimed to compare the rat group that received brain irradiation and did not receive additional treatment (only saline) and the rat group that underwent brain irradiation and received Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) treatment. In addition, the effects of G-CSF on brain functions were examined by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and histopathologically.Methods : This study used 24 female Wistar albino rats. Drug administration (saline or G-CSF) was started at the beginning of the study and continued for 15 days after whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT). WBRT was given on day 7 of the start of the study. At the end of 15 days, the behavioral tests, including the three-chamber sociability test, open field test, and passive avoidance learning test, were done. After the behavioral test, the animals performed the MR spectroscopy procedure. At the end of the study, cervical dislocation was applied to all animals.Results : G-CSF treatment positively affected the results of the three-chamber sociability test, open-space test and passive avoidance learning test, cornu Ammonis (CA) 1, CA3, and Purkinje neuron counts, and the brain levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and postsynaptic density protein-95. However, G-CSF treatment reduced the glial fibrillary acidic protein immunostaining index and brain levels of malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, nuclear factor kappa-B, and lactate. In addition, on MR spectroscopy, G-CSF had a reversible effect on brain lactate levels.Conclusion : In this first designed brain irradiation animal model, which evaluated G-CSF effects, we observed that G-CSF had reparative, neuroprotective and anti-neurodegenerative effects and had increased neurotrophic factor expression, neuronal counts, and morphology changes. In addition, G-CSF had a proven lactate-lowering effect in MR spectroscopy and brain materials.
Film as Artificial Intelligence: Jean Epstein, Film-Thinking and the Speculative-Materialist Turn in Contemporary Philosophy
Authors: Reeh Peters Christine
Published: May 2023

This article considers film as a form of artificial intelligence (AI). This non-anthropocentric hypothesis was first formulated in 1946 by filmmaker and theorist Jean Epstein and regards film as the thinking performance of a technical apparatus, the cinematograph, which is a manifestation of machine thinking based on the holistic entanglement of thought and world, film and philosophy. The article pursues an enquiry into ‘thinking’: one of the most prominent and oldest topics considered in philosophy, and also essential to art and film. Thinking is not only characterised as a sense (like sight or taste) but as a creative and, ultimately, intra-active act. The possibility of film as AI is approached not only from a Deleuzian angle, long appraised by film-philosophy, but also through questions recently raised by theories of artistic research and the speculative-materialist turn in contemporary philosophy. The latter have as a common denominator a strong critique of anthropocentrism in Western philosophy; the article enquires into this criticism from different angles and applies it to the main hypothesis of this analysis – to regard film as a form of AI.
Documentary Fictions: Jacques Rancière and the Problem of Indexical Media
Authors: Koutras Konstantinos
Published: May 2023

The indexicality of film and sound recordings remains an unresolved problem in contemporary documentary theory. The prevailing conceptualisation of the documentary assigns it the status of a sober discourse, a framing in which history is modelled as absent cause and the unqualified distinction between fiction and non-fiction is considered sacrosanct. The denotative literalism characteristic of indexical media, however, confounds this conceptualisation, which in turn encourages the devaluing of documentary aesthetics; the documentary is not a medium of art, it is said, but of argument. In this article, I examine how philosopher Jacques Rancière offers an alternative account of the documentary grounded on aesthetics rather than sobriety. I show how, in rethinking the absent cause model of history as well as the relationship between fiction and nonfiction, Rancière's aesthetic approach resolves the conceptual problem posed by indexicality and brings clarity to the value and function of indexical media with respect to the documentary.
The Prehistoricity of Cinema: Werner Herzog's Cave of Forgotten Dreams
Authors: Spaulding Daniel
Published: May 2023

This article argues that Werner Herzog's 2010 film Cave of Forgotten Dreams both enacts and undermines a desire for origins that was characteristic of 20th century modernist discourse. I argue that the aim of the film is literally to embody the origin of cinema, as figured in the recurring motif of projected light playing across the darkened walls of Chauvet Cave, the earliest known site of prehistoric painting. Drawing on texts by Wilson Harris, Giorgio Agamben, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Maxine Sheets-Johnstone, this article demonstrates that the phenomenology of the film's cave scenes and of its archaeological reconstructions produces not a straightforward self-presence at the scene of origins, but rather an “anachronic” or split temporality that links an imagined state of primordiality to the contemporary moment in a way that eludes the problematic modernist criterion of psychological authenticity. By failing to produce an immersive illusion of prehistoricity, the film is constantly thrown back onto its own simple act of “monstration”, or showing, without any transcendental ground. Instead of revealing a moment of origin, then, Cave of Forgotten Dreams plays the shifting role of what I describe, following the art historian Whitney Davis, as an ever-displaced “Figure 1” in an imaginary history of cinema.
Machine Vision and Encoded Behaviour in Harun Farocki's Later Work
Authors: May-Hobbs Moses
Published: May 2023

Harun Farocki's films make use of a category of images the director calls “operational”, a term describing images, either photographic or computer-generated, that perform or participate in tasks, usually in military or industrial settings. Treatments of Farocki's films have frequently used the notion of the operational image uncritically, and without comparing Farocki's definition of these images with existing semiotic categories. This article seeks to situate Farocki's operational imagery within a theory of visual communication, and to explore the implications of automated and instrumental imagery for theories of communication in general. Abandoning the focus in much Farocki scholarship on the representative properties of operational imagery, this article focuses on the world-shaping abilities of images that are integral to war and labour. Drawing primarily on Farocki's Eye / Machine I–III series ( Auge / Maschine, 2000–2003) the article then elaborates on the ways in which the world-shaping capacity of operational images conditions human perception and action. In particular, the limitations imposed by operational images upon human actors who interact with them, or live in environments orchestrated by them, reduce the essential role played by indeterminacy and interpretation in communication.

In this research work, pristine and various concentrations (2.4 wt%) of graphene oxide (GO)/carbon sphere (CS)–doped Al2O3 nanostructures (NSs) were synthesized with the chemical sol–gel method. Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) exhibits quick recombination of electrons and holes with a low specific surface to limit catalytic and antibacterial activities. Al2O3 doped with CS is good in wastewater treatment and reduces the size of NSs. The incorporation of graphene oxide (GO) into Al2O3 at different concentrations (2 and 4 wt%) enhances both the structural and chemical stabilities of the resulting material while concurrently decreasing the number of charge carriers and reducing the band gap energy. This modified Al2O3-GO composite exhibits promising potential for utilization in dye degradation and antibacterial activity. A series of characterizations were performed to investigate the structural, morphological, and optical properties. The NSs exhibited excellent catalytic activity (CA) against rhodamine B (RhB) dye in acidic, basic, and neutral media. The antimicrobial activity was tested against Escherichia coli. Pairs of electrons and holes are the primary building blocks for the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which causes bacteria to die. The significant inhibition zones against E. coli were calculated to be approximately 5.65 mm when compared to ciprofloxacin. Moreover, in silico investigations have revealed the possible inhibitory impact of produced nanomaterials (GO/CS-doped Al2O3) on DNA gyrase and FabI enzymes of fatty acid biosynthesis.

Published: May 2023

The collection of whole microbial communities (bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses) together constitutes the gut microbiome. Diet, age, stress, host genetics, and diseases cause increases or decreases in the relative abundance and diversity of bacterial species (dysbiosis). We aimed to investigate the gut microbial composition at different taxonomic levels of healthy controls (HCs) with active Crohn’s disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), and ischemic colitis (IC) using culture- and non-culture-based approaches and identify biomarkers to discriminate CD, UC, or IC. We determined the specific changes in the gut microbial profile using culture-independent (16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing) as well as culture-based (culturomic) approaches. Biomarkers were validated using quantitative Real-Time PCR (qPCR). In both methods, bacterial diversity and species richness decreased in disease-associated conditions compared with that in HCs. Highly reduced abundance of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Prevotella sp. and an increased abundance of potentially pathogenic bacteria such as Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus faecalis, and Escherichia coli in all CD, UC, or IC conditions were observed. We noted a high abundance of Latilactobacillus sakei in CD patients; Ligilactobacillus ruminis in UC patients; and Enterococcus faecium, Escherichia coli, and Enterococcus faecalis in IC patients. Highly reduced abundance of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii in all cases, and increased abundance of Latilactobacillus sakei and Enterococcus faecium in CD, Ligilactobacillus ruminis and Enterococcus faecium in UC, and Enterococcus faecium, Escherichia coli, and Enterococcus faecalis in IC could be biomarkers for CD, UC, and IC, respectively. These biomarkers may help in IBD (CD or UC) and IC diagnosis.
Ado-tratuzumab emtansine beyond breast cancer: therapeutic role of targeting other HER2-positive cancers
Authors: Zheng Yang , Zou Jiayu , Sun Chen , Peng Fu , Peng Cheng
Published: May 2023

Ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody–drug conjugate approved by the FDA in 2013 for advanced HER2-positive breast cancer treatment exhibiting promising clinical benefits. However, HER2 overexpression and gene amplification have also been reported in other cancers like gastric cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and colorectal cancer. Numerous preclinical studies have also revealed the significant antitumor effect of T-DM1 on HER2-positive tumors. With the advancement in research, several clinical trials have been conducted to investigate the antitumor effect of T-DM1. In this review, we briefly introduced the pharmacological effects of T-DM1. We reviewed its preclinical and clinical studies, especially on other HER2-positive cancers, establishing what has been encountered between its preclinical and clinical studies. In clinical studies, we found that T-DM1 has a therapeutic value on other cancers. An insignificant effect was observed on gastric cancer and NSCLC, inconsistent with the preclinical studies.

Background and purpose

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) enhances neurogenesis in the subventricular zone (SVZ); however, the mechanism is not fully understood. We investigated the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in post-ICH neurogenesis in a rodent model and in patients with ICH using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Methods

A rat model of ICH was constructed via stereotaxic injection of collagenase into the left striatum. Patients with ICH receiving an external ventricular drain were prospectively enrolled. CSF was collected from rats and patients at different post-ICH times. Primary cultured rat neural stem cells (NSCs) were treated with CSF with or without BDNF-neutralized antibody. Immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry were used to detect NSC proliferation and differentiation. The BDNF concentration in CSF was quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).

Results

In the rat model of ICH, the percentage of proliferating NSCs and neuroblasts in SVZ was elevated in bilateral hemispheres. The cultured rat NSCs treated with CSF from both rats and patients showed an increased capacity for proliferation and differentiation toward neuroblasts. BDNF concentration was higher in CSF collected from rats and patients with ICH than in controls. Blocking BDNF decreased the above-noted promotion of proliferation and differentiation of cultured NSCs by CSF treatment. In patients with ICH, the BDNF concentration in CSF and the neurogenesis-promoting capacity of post-ICH CSF correlated positively with ICH volume.

Conclusion

BDNF in CSF contributes to post-ICH neurogenesis, including NSC proliferation and differentiation toward neuroblasts in a rat model and patients with ICH.

We examined the neural signature of directed exploration by contrasting MEG beta (16–30 Hz) power changes between disadvantageous and advantageous choices in the two-choice probabilistic reward task. We analyzed the choices made after the participants have learned the probabilistic contingency between choices and their outcomes, i.e., acquired the inner model of choice values. Therefore, rare disadvantageous choices might serve explorative, environment-probing purposes. The study brought two main findings. Firstly, decision making leading to disadvantageous choices took more time and evidenced greater large-scale suppression of beta oscillations than its advantageous alternative. Additional neural resources recruited during disadvantageous decisions strongly suggest their deliberately explorative nature. Secondly, an outcome of disadvantageous and advantageous choices had qualitatively different impact on feedback-related beta oscillations. After the disadvantageous choices, only losses—but not gains—were followed by late beta synchronization in frontal cortex. Our results are consistent with the role of frontal beta oscillations in the stabilization of neural representations for selected behavioral rule when explorative strategy conflicts with value-based behavior. Punishment for explorative choice being congruent with its low value in the reward history is more likely to strengthen, through punishment-related beta oscillations, the representation of exploitative choices consistent with the inner utility model.
