Published: June 2023

This research aims to provide an in-depth discussion of the Implementation of Strengthening Pancasila Student Profile's Local Wisdom Themes in the Independent Curriculum in Elementary Schools. This study employs qualitative phenomenology and symbolic interactionism methods to deepen understanding of the implementation of the project to strengthen the Pancasila student profile with a local wisdom theme. Data collection techniques used include interviews, observations, and documentation of the implementation of the local wisdom project. The results of this research indicate that: 1) The implementation of the project to strengthen the Pancasila student profile with a local wisdom theme follows stages of planning, introduction, contextualization, action, reflection, and follow-up. The implementation stages enable students to recognize local wisdom knowledge through the process of each stage, rather than focusing solely on the final outcome. 2) Teachers attribute significance to the local wisdom project as a good and innovative practice in achieving the Pancasila student profile, leading to positive changes in students' social attitudes after project-based learning. 3) In the execution of the project, the school actively contributes to fulfilling the needs of the project activities, including infrastructure, resources, and the requirements of teachers and students, in the implementation of strengthening the Pancasila student profile with a local wisdom theme in elementary schools.

Published: June 2023

This study aims to analyze the effects of transformational leadership, work-life balance, and the work environment on employee performance through work discipline at the Land Office of Medan City. The research design used in this study is a causal research design with a quantitative approach. The population of this study consists of 159 employees working at the Land Office of Medan City, and the sample size is 114 employees. The data used in this study are primary data and secondary data obtained through a questionnaire. The data analysis technique used is structural equation modeling (SEM) with Smart PLS version 4.0 as the analytical tool. The results of the study show that transformational leadership has a positive and significant direct effect on employee performance. Transformational leadership also has a positive and significant direct effect on work discipline. Work-life balance has a positive but not significant direct effect on work discipline and employee performance. The work environment has a positive but not significant direct effect on employee performance, and it has a positive and significant direct effect on work discipline. Work discipline has a positive and significant direct effect on employee performance. Furthermore, the indirect effects test shows that work discipline mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and employee performance, as well as the relationship between the work environment and employee performance. However, work discipline does not mediate the relationship between work-life balance and employee performance.

Keywords: Transformational Leadership, Work-Life Balance, Work Environment, Work Discipline, and Employee Performance.
The Relationship of Polymorphism of LYSYL Oxidase Like-1 Gene and Pelvic Organ Prolapse in Balinese Women
Authors: Supono Anton , Mega Putra I Gede , Megadhana I Wayan
Published: June 2023

Background: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) data from Sanglah General Hospital Bali revealed proportion of 91.2% Balinese women, and that proportion was not decreased even with modification of workload and contraception. One of the associated factor is the decrease of expression of elastin and proteins involved in elastin metabolism, such as lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL-1). There is genetic factor in the pathogenesis of prolapse, and polymorphism of elastogenesis-related gene, such as LOXL1 gene, associated with elastinopathy.
Methods: We conducted an observational case control study in Balinese women population. Balinese women are women who have lineage of at least 3 generations (from grandparents) from Balinese people. Thirty patients with prolapse were taken as cases and 30 patients non prolapse as controls. DNA was isolated from venous blood, and then LOXL1 gene amplificated by polymerase chain reaction and then electrophoresis, and finally the DNA products were sequenced. Data was analyzed wih SPSS 21.0 for Windows. To determine whether the LOXL1 gene polymorphism is a risk factor for POP, a Chi-Square test was performed, and then variables were controlled by multivariate analysis using conditional logistic regression tests.
Results: From the distribution of polymorphism, there were 13 samples in the case group (43.34% of the case group), compared to 5 samples in the control group (16.67% of the control group), and for the distribution of non-polymorphism, there were 17 samples in the case group (56.66% of the case group), compared to 25 samples in the control group (83.33% of the control group). From the analysis of polymorphism of LOXL1 gene rs2304719 in Balinese women, we found OR 3.824, CI 95% 1.150-12.713, p = 0.024). The LOXL1 gene polymorphism remains a risk factor for prolapse occurrence after the control variables were controlled by multivariate analysis using conditional logistic regression tests. The LOXL1 gene polymorphism, after the four control variables were controlled, gave a risk for prolapse incidence of 3,791 times by multivariate analysis (adjusted OR = 3.791; 95% CI = 1.065-13.496; p = 0.04).
Conclusion: Polymorphism of LOXL1 gene rs2304719 is a risk factor for prolapse in Balinese women. Study for other gene polymorphisms are needed, before we can make a multigene panel testing for risk assessment. We hope in the future, multigene panel testing will be simpler, easier and cheaper, so that women at risk can be identified, and then can be informed and advised to avoid or reduce risk factors for prolapse.

Gênero e educação: contribuições que as práticas educativas oferecem para as desmistificações de preconceitos nas relações de gênero.
Authors:   , de Melo Araújo Auricélia
Published: June 2023

O presente trabalho é resultado de uma pesquisa de campo, realizada em uma escola no município de Sumé – PB, referenciada em pressupostos teóricos pertinente às relações de gênero no contexto escolar. Destaca-se a importância da escola na construção da identidade de gênero pautada na igualdade, através da sua contribuição para desmistificar preconceitos. Nesse sentido, a questão analisada é: quais as contribuições que as práticas educativas oferecem para a desmistificação de preconceitos nas relações de gênero? Dessa forma, procuramos analisar se as práticas educativas desenvolvidas na referida escola contribuem para a desmistificação do preconceito de gênero. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas com professores/professoras, grupo focal formado por alunos/alunas, bem como observações do cotidiano da escola, com o intuito de aproximação com objeto de estudo. O trabalho apresenta embasamentos teóricos relacionados com as análises do material pesquisado a partir das reflexões de autores como, Bourdieu (2002) e Louro (1997). Apresenta-se o conceito de gênero atrelado a uma concepção de educação pautada no respeito às diferenças. De um lado, as análises nos apontam que a escola tem desenvolvido ações que contribui para desmistificar preconceitos, com base no combate a desigualdade de gênero. Por outro lado, essas ações são eventuais, ainda não sistematizadas dentro do currículo da escola. Então, a partir do que foi diagnosticado recomenda-se que o ideal seja incorporar as discussões pertinentes às relações de gênero em todas as disciplinas, nos conteúdos trabalhados em sala de aula, como também nas atividades extraclasses, e assim essas questões sejam inclusas nas práticas educativas como ações permanentes.

Diabetes Distress: The Untold Hidden Struggle of Living with Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: C.C. Asonye , F. Ojewole
Published: June 2023

In recent years, the global burden of diabetes distress has increased significantly, imposing mental health issues on patients and the healthcare system. Diabetes-related distress differs from depression as it originates from the mental and emotional burden that comes from the ongoing management of diabetes. Studies have revealed that one in four individuals with type 1 diabetes has increased levels of diabetes distress, and one in five people with type 2 diabetes experiences increased levels of diabetes distress. Patients with diabetes experience psychosocial and emotional problems in response to these lengthy therapies, including worry about complications, fear of hypoglycemia, fatigue regarding poorly controlled blood glucose, worthlessness, the need for support, and access to healthcare. Psychological factors such as diabetes-related emotional distress have been linked with lower compliance to diet, exercise, frequent blood glucose testing, and medication regimens. Patients with a higher level of diabetes-specific emotional distress have been shown to have a lower health-related quality of life. Despite the increased awareness and knowledge of diabetes-related distress, patients with diabetes are not routinely screened during clinic visits. Therefore, nurses must continually observe and assess a patient's physical and emotional response to treatment and identify patterns and trends suggestive of diabetes-related distress.

The study examined the factors hindering Agricultural Cooperative Societies from contributing adequately to poverty and hunger eradication among the rural community dwellers in Ido-Osi Local Government Area in Ekiti State. It also determined how the government and other agencies can assist Agricultural Cooperative Societies to sustain inclusive agricultural development and eradicate poverty and hunger among Ido-Osi Local Government Area rural households. The project employed primary data sources; the primary sources were one hundred and twenty self-administered questionnaires, of which ninety were retrieved and analysed using the linear regression model. The result indicated factors hindering agricultural cooperative societies have a negative and significant contribution to poverty and hunger eradication among the rural community dwellers in Ido-Osi Local Government Area, and ways in which agricultural cooperative societies can be assisted by government and other agencies have a positive and significant effect to sustaining inclusive agricultural development and eradication of poverty and hunger among rural households in Ido-Osi Local Government Area, Ekiti State. The study recommends that awareness should be made and emphasising patronising agricultural cooperative societies, which can serve as one way to reduce poverty in the state. Also, microfinance banks and other financial institutions supporting agricultural cooperative societies should increase the volume base of funds allotted to cooperatives with minimal and bearable interest rates.

Theoretical Study of The Use of Lfscs in Terms of Energy for Textile Factories: The Example of Saint Louis in Senegal
Authors: SY Issa , ÜÇGÜL İbrahim
Published: June 2023

Senegal has a high potential for solar energy but mainly depends on fossil energy resources. Industries, particularly the textile sector, could benefit from the use of alternative energy sources to reduce costs and improve the environmental footprint. This study focuses on the use of linear Fresnel solar collectors (LFSC) coupled with an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system to produce energy in textile mills, particularly in Saint Louis. The objective was to size a Fresnel solar array and evaluate its energy production for two different periods: the sunniest month (April) and the least sunny month (August). The findings demonstrate the substantial solar potential of the region, with significant sunshine throughout the year. The maximum direct solar radiation recorded on August 15 and April 25 was 898 W/m2 and 945 W/m2, respectively, at noon. The maximum energy production for one row in August is 24.4 kWh, and in April, it reaches 25.7 kWh. It is noted that, for the use of the Fresnel linear system, the number of rows will depend on the energy needs of the textile factory.

Published: June 2023

The use of stand-alone PV systems (SAPV) must be efficient and profitable for a better integration of solar energy in the global energy mix. However, the performance indicators that allow the evaluation of SAPV systems do not clearly inform us about the actual level of use of their sized and installed capacity. This article aims to determine a new performance indicator, called the theoretical power factor (TPF) by an original method based on the modelling of the SAPV system in the form of a matrix equation. The resolution of this matrix equation, makes it possible to bring out the reactive energy of the system during operation. A case study is presented and scenario I represents the case where the main elements are all assumed to operate at their rated capacity. scenario II represents the case were the rated capacity of storage system is reduced of 40%, scenario III represents the case were the rated current capacity of charge controller is reduced of 40%, and finally scenario IV represents the case were the rated power capacity of inverter is also reduced of 40%. The results obtained after implementation in the Spyder environment (python 5.1) show the effectiveness of TPF in the performance evaluation of SAPV systems. And also show how the TPF is substantially related to the capacity of each main element of the system. This being proved by the results obtained after the simulation of the four scenarios mentioned above. One can observe an increase in TPF of 0.1% in Scenario II during the period of low irradiance, and no change in TPF for the other scenarios in the same period. During the period of high irradiance, an increase in TPF of 17.9% is observed in scenario II and a decrease in TPF of 15.4% and 1.2% respectively in scenarios III and IV.

Authors: SWATHI ON  , ADARSH DHAVALESHWAR  , BELA VERMA
Published: June 2023

Vitamin D levels in newborns mainly depend on maternal vitamin D levels and maternal-fetal transfer of Vitamin D and its metabolites during pregnancy. Babies born to mothers with marked Vitamin D deficiency may have neonatal Rickets. There are many factors determining the Vitamin D levels in mother, like skin pigmentation, duration of sunlight exposure, body mass index, degree of altitude, clothing, sunscreen use, weather, air pollution, season and time of the day. Mothers with light - colored skin require a lesser duration of exposure as compared to mothers with dark-colored skin. If left untreated, children can develop hypocalcemic seizures, growth failure, irritability, lethargy, respiratory infections, and allergies, tetany, and laryngospasm and even dilated cardiomyopathy. Hence we performed this study to evaluated the role of cord vitamin D levels. Methods this was a prospective observational study performed on term neonates weighing > 2.5 kg. Cord vitamin D was estimated at birth, and correlated with various maternal parameters such as anaemia, sun exposure, co-morbidities etc. Results: the mean cord vitamin D levels were low in those babies born to mothers with anaemia, lack of pre-natal supplementation of vitamin D and calcium, as well as less sun exposure. Conclusion: Cord vitamin D could be a marker of vitamin D deficiency in neonates born to mothers with risk factors like anaemia, lack of sun exposure and supplementation.
Kummî ve Tûsî Tefsirlerinde Hilâfet Meselesi
Authors: ŞANLI İlyas
Published: June 2023

Hilâfet meselesi Şia’nın en önemli meselelerindendir. Henüz yeni kurulmuş olan İslâm Devleti’nin liderliğini, Hz. Peygamber’in vefatından sonra kimin üstleneceği meselesi şeklinde özetlenebilecek olan bu husus İslâm ümmeti arasında ilk zamanlardan günümüze kadar tartışma konusu olagelmiştir. Sünnî anlayışta ilk dört halifenin sıralaması doğrultusunda bir halifelik sıralaması anlayışı hakimdir. Şia’da ise genel olarak Hz. Peygamber’in vefatından sonra hilâfetin Hz. Ali’nin hakkı olduğu ve Hz. Ali’den önce halifelik yapanların onun hakkını gasp ettikleri anlayışı yaygındır. Bu anlayış zaman zaman gizliden gizliye gündeme getirilirken zaman zaman da açık bir şekilde dillendirilmiş ve kayda geçirilmiştir. Kayda geçirilen görüşlere baktığımızda karşımıza iki farklı tutum ortaya çıkmaktadır: Görüşlerini aşırıya kaçmadan savunan mutedil bir grup ve görüşlerinin doğruluğunu ispat etmek için hiçbir kural tanımayan bir grup. İlk grubun mensupları görüşlerinde belirli bir usul takip ederek bu çizgiyi aşmazken ikinci grubun mensupları ise usul tanımadan her türlü bilgiyi kullanmakta herhangi bir beis görmemektedirler. Öyle ki kendi görüşlerinin doğruluğunu ispatlama adına ayetleri bağlamından kopararak yorumlamaktan çekinmemektedirler. İşte bu çalışma, bahsi geçen iki grubun anlayışlarını mukayese etme hedefini gütmektedir. Çalışmada ilk grubun temsilcisi olarak Tûsî’nin tefsiri, ikinci grubun temsilcisi olarak da Kummî’nin tefsiri ele alınmıştır. Adı geçen müfessirlerin hilâfet meselesi ile ilişkilendirdiği ayetlere bakış açıları mukayese edilmiştir. Böylece ilmî bir çalışmada usul tanımamazlığın varabileceği sonuçlar gözler önüne serilerek usulün öneminin ortaya çıkması hedeflenmiştir.
Quantum Indeterminism, Free Will, and Self-Causation
Authors: Masi Marco
Published: June 2023

A view that emancipates free will by means of quantum indeterminism is frequently rejected based on arguments pointing out its incompatibility with what we know about quantum physics. However, if one carefully examines what classical physical causal determinism and quantum indeterminism
are according to physics, it becomes clear what they really imply — and, especially, what they do not imply — for agent-causation theories. Here, I will make necessary conceptual clarifications on some aspects of physical determinism and indeterminism, review some of the major
objections against libertarian conjectures, and show that there is no conceptual incompatibility preventing us from taking a 'quantum-libertarian' approach to the problem of free will. In particular, I will illustrate the possible role of self-causation (causa sui) as a potential solution
to otherwise apparently incompatible or even paradoxical statements concerning free will and quantum indeterminism.
Empirical Panpsychism: A New Synthesis
Authors: Schermbrucker Ben
Published: June 2023

It is frequently claimed that panpsychism is unable in principle to generate evidence or predictions. After exploring how this impasse owes to panpsychism's commitment to brute physicalism, I argue that organismic panpsychism (OP) can retain this commitment and yet be empirical in principle.
I then explore ways in which OP can be defended against a range of objections. These objections primarily relate to OP's metaphysics, its dependency on string theory, and its appeal to future states of science. Finally, OP's ability to avert a worrying consequence of Russellian panpsychism
is discussed.
The Mapuche People: Cultural Beliefs Related to Consciousness, Mind, and Body
Authors: Pérez Camila , Marsico Giuseppina
Published: June 2023

The Mapuche people are a native group from the extreme south of Latin America. Their culture is based on the interconnectedness between the cohabitants of the environment, including human and non-human categories of life. The closest concept to consciousness for them would be Mapuche
rakizuamor Mapuche thinking, which is defined as a particular kind of reflexivity or state of awareness of the interdependence of people with natural and spiritual entities. This understanding of the human condition represents a relational ontology, which cannot be translated to the predominating
individualistic approach. Although the mind–body distinction is not a central point within Mapuche culture, these dimensions can be explored through crucial processes of the life cycle such as socialization, illness, and death. Contributions from cultural psychology and Indigenous psychology
are taken into account regarding the challenge to address the interplay between culture and the human psyche more appropriately.

Authors: Wu Yuhan , Zhang Xinyu , Song Fuchao
Published: June 2023

Business English teaching in colleges and universities mainly focuses on business theory and English language knowledge, with little reference to traditional Chinese culture. This neglect of traditional Chinese culture often leads to the "westernization" of students' thinking, which also affects the quality of translation to a certain extent. In order to cultivate compound business English talents with international competitiveness, it is particularly important to strengthen the proportion of traditional Chinese culture in college business English teaching.
Sentiment analysis of sarcasm detection in social media
Authors: Alaramma Sunusi Kabir , Habu Adamu Adamu , Ya’u Badamasi Imamu , Madaki Abdullahi Gamsha
Published: June 2023

When people talk or write more especially on social media, they tend to sometimes, flip the polarity of their expressions.  Oftentimes, this change of mood affects the accuracy of the sentiment analysis. Sarcasm is a sophisticated form of irony widely used in social networks and micro blogging websites and is usually a type of sentiment where person speaks the contradictory of what individual word means, expressing gloomy feelings applying positive words. However, it is hard even for humans to recognize. Hence, sarcastic expressions play a vital role in the outcome of automatic sentiment detection in sentiment analysis. To improve on the performance of automatic detection of sentiments in social media networks, there is need for sarcastic statements to be recognised and classify correctly.  Sentiment Analysis is a method for identifying people’s opinion, attitude, sentiment, and emotion towards any specific target such as individuals, events, topics, product, organizations, services etc. This paper proposed an ensemble classification method having base classifiers as Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbour and Naive Bayes for detecting sarcasm using lexical, pragmatic, linguistic incongruity and context incongruity features. The same ensemble method and Support Vector Machines (SVM) were used to identify the sarcasm types so as to diagnose the mood of the users. We report the results and present a comparative evaluation of the ensemble method and SVM classifiers for sarcasm and sarcasm type detection indicating their suitability for the task. The results obtained from the set of experiments conducted indicate the reliability of our approach.

Published: June 2023

La captura artesanal del pulpo (Octopus vulgaris) en el nororiente de Venezuela es importante desde el punto de vista socioeconómico en algunas comunidades pesqueras como El Tirano, isla de Margarita. La pesca del pulpo se realiza con línea de mano modificado llamado potera y últimamente con una línea de potes o tubos colocada en fondos de conchales, pero su uso no está permitido. En tal sentido, con el fin de proporcionar respuesta a los usuarios y a la administración pesquera sobre la práctica de este nuevo método de pesca, se planteó la necesidad de caracterizar el aparejo, y estimar el ingreso neto (πjt) como variable económica de desempeño, calculado en función de los ingresos totales por concepto del valor de las capturas (ITjt) menos el costo total (CTjt): πjt = ITjt– CTjt. Para alcanzar los objetivos, se realizaron entrevistas in situ y se tomó información de los desembarques en playas de El Tirano que faenan en el archipiélago Los Frailes, durante la   temporada de pesca julio-diciembre de 2015. Los resultados obtenidos demostraron que este sistema de pesca es rentable y demanda poco esfuerzo, debido a su estructura y funcionabilidad. Se sugiere estudiar el impacto de la pesca con potes en el stock de pulpo.

Published: June 2023

The research study finds the impact of COVID-19 on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in South Asian countries (excluding Afghanistan, due to the two-decades-long war on terrorism) by taking quarter-wise data from 2020 to 2021. By using the panel data random effect technique, the results demonstrate a negative relationship between COVID-19 spread and SMEs exports, as a one percent rise in the COVID-19 pandemic will result in a decline of 91 percent in exports of SMEs. The results also demonstrate that, with the exception of TTF (SME Financing as a % of Total Trade Finance), all explanatory variables are significant. SME Financing as a % of total trade finance (TTF) has a negative relationship with SMEs exports. Both BCS (Bank credit to SME sector) and NOB (percentage change in the number of SME borrowers) have a positive relationship with SMEE (Exports of SMEs), indicating that when BCS and NOB rise by one percent, SMEE will rise by .98 and 13.17 percent, respectively. The constant/intercept value shows that the SMEs exports will be 49.74 units when all other explanatory variables are set to zero. The research study also posed a policy recommendation in the situation of the COVID-19 epidemic, that what necessary and immediate action to be taken to save the lives and restore the economies of South Asian counties.

The government adjusts its financial obligations and collects taxes to pay for the public through taxes. Tax behavior varies from individual to individual. Tax audits and fines are also policies to collect tax amounts. The study aims to determine tax compliance behavior. A quantitative approach is applied to obtain the respondent's perception of justice in tax laws. Overall total number of questionnaires sent to bar councils was 400, of which 325 lawyers responded. The problem is that Pakistan needs a better tax collection system; therefore, many problems are faced during tax collection. The justice system is better for recovering the tax penalties, whereas procedural justice investigates the compliance of individuals about the tax. Taxpayers also find ways to reduce the amount of tax and make deduction claims by hiding some of their assets. Tax audit is also a significant field to assess and measure fraud in the tax collection system. Results differentiate that there is a positive and significant relationship between tax compliance behavior and perception of justice. So, it rejects the null hypothesis and shows a significant relationship. If the individuals cooperate with the government and perform their duties well, then the structure of the tax system can survive and collaborate in the economy of Pakistan.

The aim of the system was to utilize technology to save lives in India by addressing the challenge of transporting patients during emergencies on congested roads. To tackle this problem, we developed two mobile apps - one for users and one for ambulance drivers. The user app requires signup and retrieves their address and location. Similarly, the ambulance driver app also retrieves their location. When the user presses the emergency button, a notification is sent to the ambulance driver via the app. The app then displays the shortest path, and traffic signals along the route are adjusted to facilitate a faster route to the hospital. Overall, our apps were created to aid accident victims in reaching the hospital promptly
