Examining Determinants of Health among Safai Karmacharis (“Ex-Untouchables” Caste) in Mumbai
Authors: Khandare Lalit , Salve Pradeep S.
Published: January 2023

The purpose of the two-phase, sequential mixed methods study using Critical Caste Theory (CasteCRT) was to explore the socioeconomic condition, intergenerational caste-based slavery, and health vulnerability of municipal workers associated with the collection, transportation, and landfilling of municipal solid waste in Mumbai. The first phase involved in-depth interviews of 10 Safai Karamcharis and 12 key informants from the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM). Individual interviews inquired about household and parental information, migration history, reasons for migration, work history, and expectations from the municipal corporation. The second phase involved cross-sectional survey of 360 Safai Karamcharis from six municipal wards of the MCGM. To identify the diagnosed causes of death, 100 households were interviewed who had lost their earning member in the previous 3 years. A study of Safai Karamcharis employed in the BrihanMunicipal Corporation of Mumbai found that the policies directed at uplifting of workers have been institutionalizing caste-based occupations. The Warsa Hakka policies of the government assure employment of the Safai Karamcharis’ progeny. Other findings highlighted the need to address precarious working conditions; the need for change in caste-specific recruitment processes; educational, financial, and healthcare support; efforts to address their psychosocial slavery; and freedom to voice their concerns. This paper elaborates the factors that keep generations of Safai Karamcharis in this occupation and recommends practical solutions to break the vicious cycle.
Green Practices as Antecedents of Tourists’ Perceived Value, Satisfaction and Loyalty: With Special Reference to Eco Hotels in Sri Lanka
Authors: Tharaka Sachini , Munasinghe Amila
Published: January 2023

Hotels, as a resource-intensive industry, have caused massive harm to the environment. Thus, there has been a tremendous effort in creating “eco-friendly” awareness and initiating green practices in the hotel industry. However, how tourists perceive such green initiatives and the relationship between such initiatives and tourists’ perception is not well established. By selecting “eco-friendly” awarded hotels in Sri Lanka and adopting the stakeholder theory perspective this study explores the said relationship using four variables: value perception of tourists, satisfaction, revisit intention, and readiness to spread positive word of mouth. Findings show a positive influencing role of green hotel practices on tourists’ perceptions. Furthermore, it shows that tourists look beyond tangible demonstrations of “eco-friendly hotels” towards a higher aesthetic value that judges the greenness of hotels. Environmental recycling programs represent the most highly ranked initiative. Furthermore, energy efficiency, water-saving measures, and informational efforts have been identified as critical factors in attracting tourists.

Big Five Personality Traits and Entrepreneurial Intention: An Empirical Evidence from Sri Lankan State Universities
Authors: Mathushan Packiyanathan , Gamage Aruna S.
Published: January 2023

The literature shows that personality factors were salient in determining entrepreneurial intention. However, most research on the association between Big Five personality traits and entrepreneurship has been undertaken in developed countries, with little emphasis on emerging countries such as Sri Lanka. Paradoxically, there is a dearth of prior research examining the association between the Big Five personality traits and entrepreneurial intentions among Sri Lankan university students. The present study investigates the impact of the big five personality traits on entrepreneurial intention. The study used a quantitative survey using a convenience sample of Sri Lankan university students. A total of 196 valid questionnaires were received and analysed. The researchers employed the partial least squares (PLS) approach with smart PLS software (version 3.0) to test the hypotheses. The result showed that Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness significantly impact entrepreneurial intentions among Sri Lankan university students. Further, Neuroticism has an insignificant impact on entrepreneurial intentions. The research advises the government and policymakers to comprehend students’ personality traits who are likely to become future entrepreneurs and to encourage new start-ups by offering different incentives. Other repercussions are mentioned.
Facebook Community is Judgmental: A Symbolic Interaction Perspective on Context Collapse and Identity Construction of Youth on Social Networking Sites
Authors: Wijesinghe Uchitha , Chandrasekara Ruwangi , Wijetunga Dinuka
Published: January 2023

Despite the versatility and longevity of Facebook as a Social Networking Site (SNS) in comparison to Instagram, the Daily Active Users count and the average time spent per day have dropped significantly during the recent past. The observed drop in the popularity of Facebook is confounding from a marketing perspective since Facebook appears to provide more benefits and values than Instagram. Hence, using symbolic interaction as a theoretical lens, in this paper we engage in a discussion on how identity construction complexities on SNSs with greater context collapse, such as Facebook, could contribute to users’ preference for SNSs having smaller communities with less context collapse, such as Instagram. A qualitative study was carried out with the participation of 14 informants in the age group between 18-34 years. The data were collected using semi-structured in-depth interviews which were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings revealed that the greater context collapse on Facebook has created discomfort for youth in constructing identities. Theoretically, this explains how the unclear, and at times, conflicting ‘universes of discourse’ operating on Facebook impose complexities to navigating user behaviour. Further, the lesser context collapse on Instagram which provides a more cohesive ‘universe of discourse’ allows the youth to construct a more expansive identity that conforms to community norms. This study theoretically accentuates the repercussions of developing and managing undifferentiated SNSs catering to the mass market, which makes it difficult for users to navigate the expectations of diverse audiences.
The Relationship between Dietary Na/K Ratio and Bone Mineral Density in Korean Middle-Aged Women
Authors: Choi Seong Su , Kim Yun-A , Kim Hyun Ji , Cho Yoon Jeong , Lee Geon Ho
Published: January 2023

Background: Dietary Na+ or Na+/K+ ratio has been reported to be associated with bone mineral density (BMD). However, this remains unclear, and only a few studies have been reported on the Korean population. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the association between dietary Na+, K+, and Na+/K+ ratios and BMD in middle-aged Korean women.Methods: This study used data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2008–2011. A total of 3,690 women aged >50 years were included. Study participants were classified into quartiles (lowest quartile Q1–highest quartile Q4) according to dietary Na+, K+, and Na+/K+ ratio, and we examined the association of these parameters with BMD. Total femur and lumbar spine BMD were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed using IBM SPSS ver. 19.0.Results: The mean age was 62 years, and a significant negative trend in the β-coefficient regarding dietary Na+ was only observed in the total femur BMD. However, the total femur and lumbar spine BMD decreased from Q1 to Q4 regarding the dietary Na+/K+ ratio (P-value for trend: 0.044 for total femur BMD and 0.002 for lumbar spine BMD).Conclusion: A significant negative trend in the β-coefficient for both total femur and lumbar spine BMD was observed regarding the Na+/K+ ratio. Therefore, based on the results of this study, a higher dietary Na+/K+ ratio may be associated with a lower BMD.

Authors: Rhim Jae Hyung , Shin Hyun Hwa , Kim Chulmin , Choi Whan Seok , Kim Kyung Soo , Choi Chang Jin
Published: January 2023

Background: A total of 8,303 individuals (4.3%) with adverse reactions (n=191,860) after vaccination developed serious conditions or died. Such health developments could cause people not vaccinated yet or waiting for a booster shot to become fearful of the vaccination. Methods: The 3-month (July–September 2021) clinical data of 41 patients from the family medicine department of a single medical center were analyzed retrospectively to determine risk factors and to investigate the clinical course to identify the cause of symptoms in detail.Results: A significant number of older adults aged over 50 years reported experiencing general weakness (P=0.026) but fewer incidences of fever than patients aged 50 years or younger (P=0.011). Eighteen of the 41 patients were requested to visit more than twice or consult a specialist. In 14 patients, the symptoms were explained by other medical causes.Conclusion: The primary physician has a pivotal role in thoroughly evaluating patients who complain of adverseeffects after vaccination, considering the broad multitude of symptoms and medical conditions presented. To thoroughlyevaluate and appropriately advise patients with adverse reactions to their chosen vaccine, taking detailedmedical history and nutritional counseling are required to identify possible underlying causes, resolve symptoms,and educate them on self-care and regarding vaccines.

Published: January 2023

Target-controlled infusion pumps and depth of anaesthesia monitors have made total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) easy, safe, and precise. The merits of TIVA were highlighted during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, confirming its potential further in the post-COVID clinical practice as well. Ciprofol and remimazolam are newer drugs that are being tried with a hope to upgrade the practice of TIVA. While research on safe and effective drugs continues, TIVA is being practised with a combination of drugs and adjuncts to overcome the disadvantages of each and to provide complete and balanced anaesthesia with additional benefits in recovery and pain relief postoperatively. Modulation of TIVA for the special population groups is still under process. Advancement in digital technology with mobile apps has increased the scope of TIVA in day-to-day use. The formulation and update of guidelines can establish a safe and efficient practice of TIVA.

Authors: Suryawanshi Chhaya M , Shah Bhavini , Khanna Sangeeta , Ghodki Poonam , Bhati Kanta , Ashok KV
Published: January 2023

Recent trend shows that minimally invasive surgery is in great demand. Robot-assisted procedures have become more popular, as they overcome several drawbacks of traditional laparoscopic techniques. Robotic surgery, however, might necessitate changes in how patients are positioned and how staff and equipment are organised generally, which might go against the traditional approach to anaesthesia care. The novel effects of this technology have the potential to produce paradigm-shifting therapeutic improvements. To provide better anaesthetic treatment and advance patient safety, anaesthesiologists should be aware of these developments by understanding the fundamental components of robotic surgical systems.
Effect of Upright and Slouched Postures on the Diaphragm Strength and Chest Expansion in Obese Young Adults – An Observational Study
Authors: Ganesh B. R. , Tomy Christy
Published: January 2023

Context:

Obese individuals are at high risk of adopting slouched posture because of their excessive body fat distribution. Moreover, excess body fat limits the action of the respiratory muscles and restricts diaphragm mobility and rib movement.

Aims:

The aim of this study was to study the influence of upright versus slouched posture on respiratory muscle strength and chest expansion in obese young adults.

Settings and Design:

The participants included in the study were young adults of all genders between the age group of 18 and 25 years with a body mass index above 27.5.

Methods and Materials:

It is an observational study. Thirty participants were recruited from health-care institutions. Screening was done according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Diaphragm strength and chest expansion were assessed in upright sitting and slouched sitting postures.

Statistical analysis used:

SPSS statistical package version 23 was used to analyze the data. Normality of the baseline data was checked using Student's t-test. To summarize the data, descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) were employed. To discover variations in maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) scores and chest expansion between slouched and upright sitting positions, a paired t-test analysis was performed.

Results:

The participants showed a lower MIP score in slouched sitting as compared to an upright sitting posture. The mean difference in the MIP scores was 20.99 mmHg (P = 0.04). Chest expansion measurements also showed a significant difference between the two sitting postures.

Conclusions:

The lower maximal inspiratory pressure and chest expansion measures observed in this study indicate that in obese individuals, slouched sitting posture can adversely affect the diaphragm strength and the chest wall mechanics during breathing.
Use of testosterone replacement therapy in the rehabilitation of patients with intensive care unit-associated weakness and hospital-associated deconditioning: the Singapore General Hospital rehabilitation experience
Authors: Samuel Geoffrey Sithamparapillai , Swee Du Soon
Published: January 2023

Introduction:

Rehabilitation medicine in a tertiary care hospital involves attending to many patients affected by intensive care unit (ICU)-associated weakness (ICU-AW) and hospital-associated deconditioning (HAD). These conditions contribute to poor long-term functional outcomes and increased mortality. We explored the role of short-term adjunctive androgen therapy in this group of patients in improving the rehabilitative outcomes.

Methods:

This was a retrospective analysis of five patients with either ICU-AW or HAD who were given testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or oxandrolone for a total of 2 weeks during the period from April to November 2020 was undertaken. During the 2-week trial period, the subjects underwent standard rehabilitation therapy.

Results:

Grip strength was used as the primary outcome measure, and the mean improvement was 4.2 kg (+24.9%), which is encouraging in a 2-week timeframe. This was matched with good functional recovery in terms of distance ambulated and less assistance needed for ambulation. Sex hormone analysis was also done before initiation of TRT, and it showed that four out of five of the subjects were biochemically hypogonadal. None of the subjects dropped out or experienced any significant adverse events over the 2-week trial period. All the subjects except one improved to full independence at 3 months post-discharge.

Conclusion:

TRT has the potential to be used as a useful adjunct to standard rehabilitation in enhancing functional recovery in critically ill patients. A multidisciplinary approach would ensure that suitable patients benefit from optimal nutrition, optimal rehabilitation and synergistic testosterone therapy in a clinically sound and resource-efficient fashion.

The Role of School Libraries in Enhancing Extensive English Language Reading Skills
Authors: Vuzo Mwajuma
Published: January 2023

Extensive reading enhances language ability. School libraries should expose English language learners to a range of interesting materials to promote language learning. The paper presents findings from a study on role of school libraries in enhancing extensive reading skills. It draws from the Tanzania context that represents English foreign language learning contexts. The objectives of the study included exploring the availability of school libraries and assessing how teachers and students use the school libraries to promote extensive English language reading skills. The respondents of this study were twelve English language teachers, one librarian and seventy-two students. Data were collected using interview, focus group discussions and observations. Krashen’s comprehensible input theory informed the study. Findings showed that school libraries are available in some schools. School libraries available are not used by teachers and students to enhance learning of extensive reading skills in English language. Most of the school libraries do not have authentic materials to encourage interest in reading but old books, past papers and subject specific books. School libraries should be improved and built where necessary. They should be functional and well-equipped. This will encourage students to read extensively to improve their learning of English language through exposure to various language input. English subject teachers will consequently integrate the use of the school library to teach extensive reading skills.

Most investigations on domestic violence in family relationships have centered around men as the perpetrators of violence without exploring the context of violence occurrence from a gender lens and other social factors. This study explored the meanings associated with family violence, the contexts for its occurrence, and the indigenous approaches to managing such conflicts among the Yoruba ethnic subgroup in southwest Nigeria. This was an exploratory cross-sectional study guided by an interpretative constructivist approach in which 20 community stakeholders were recruited through purposive sampling. The data were collected via in-depth interview (IDI) and focus group discussion (FGD). Findings from the study showed that both men and women in family relationship contribute to the occurrence of family violence, although the forms perpetrated differ by gender. Religious leaders were identified as key indigenous structure for effective management of family violence among other indigenous structures (extended family mediation and community/royal father interventions). The study showed that these groups of people are also affected by societal male dominance belief which has contributed to occurrence of family violence. The study concluded that an indigenous intervention that will help control family violence among this group must focus on strengthening community structures; most importantly, the religious institutions on how to instill mutual respect among couples and train them on conflict resolution skills as family violence in the group is seen as issue that should not be taken out of the community structures.

Published: January 2023

Global air transport is an open system that is influenced by a large number of factors, both related and unrelated. One of its most vulnerable components is the activity of airlines. This is especially felt during the period of hostilities. The Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 crash as a result of being hit by a Russian missile and the 2014 Boeing 737 crash of Ukraine International Airlines in Iran as a result of being hit by Iranian anti-aircraft missiles in 2020 are examples of the vulnerability of civil aviation in the rapidly changing conditions of military operations and determine the need for anticipatory risk management of airlines. Unfortunately, the full-scale military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine from the first minute dealt a devastating blow to the activity of air transport in general, and to the activity of Ukrainian airlines, in particular. In order to formulate strategic scenarios for the post-war recovery and sustainable development of air transport of Ukraine, the article proposes to use the Concept of National Integrated Risk Management of Air Transport of Ukraine.

Authors: Vyas Shaili , Saini Ravinder Singh , Semwal Jayanti , Sharma Neha , Chaturvedi Manish , Ansari Mohd. Waseem Faraz
Published: January 2023

Background: The prevalence of workplace violence in the healthcare sector is a problem that is frequently ignored and underreported. The performance of healthcare workers who have been the target of violence may suffer, which may have a negative effect on patient satisfaction and health. Aims & Objectives: The purpose of the current study was to determine the prevalence of workplace violence (WPV), risk factors for violence against healthcare workers, and their experiences regarding the same. Methodology: It was a cross-sectional study conducted on 157 hospital staff at Tertiary Care Medical College of Uttarakhand. Data was gathered using a semi-structured, self-administered questionnaire that was modified from the ILO, ICN, WHO, and PSI. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 20). Results: Factors like age, gender, job profile, lesser work experience, night shifts, and fewer staff on duty were found to have a positive association with workplace violence. It was observed that the majority of incidents took place in the ward, and the patient’s relatives were the attacker in most of the cases. It was also seen that the majority of Hospital staff did not get bothered by the incident except by staying super alert while dealing with other patients or their relatives. Conclusion: The study concludes that while caring for patients, Hospital staff are at risk of being victims of aggressive and violent situations. To reduce this problem, strategies like training staff in order to handle such incidents in the future should be brought into practice. Laws should be made stricter & assaulting staff on duty should be made a cognizable offense with serious consequences & heavy penalties. Also, the young budding MBBS students should be trained by incorporating these strategies, laws & policies in the CBME curriculum

Relationships Between Work Stress and Job Satisfaction Among Nurses
Authors: Gelčytė Vaida , Mažionienė Asta
Published: January 2023

The aim of this research – to analyze the stress experienced by nurses at work and their job satisfaction.

The broad professional competencies of nurses, constantly changing and unpredictable situations, and increasing work demands often cause stress for nurses [2]. Based on the analyzed literature of foreign authors, it can be stated that the stress of nurses in the work environment is widespread, and the high level of stress is determined by workload, responsibility, conflictual relationships and excessive authority [3-4]. Research evidence has shown that working in a supportive environment is necessary to increase nurses' job satisfaction [1]. Therefore, it can be assumed that one of the factors determining job satisfaction is the stress experienced in the working environment.

The study was conducted in 2022. from May to September, it was attended by 382 nurses working in health care institutions providing secondary and tertiary health care services. A quantitative research method was chosen. The questionnaire is based on standardized scales. The approval of the Ethics Commission of the Department of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, Klaipėda University (No. 46Sv-S0-07) was obtained for conducting the study.

Conclusions. The level of subjectively perceived stress of nurses was found to be higher than average. Nurses under the age of 50, with a university education and working for less than 10 years felt statistically significantly more stressed. Stress at work is caused by patient death and dying, heavy workload and problems with patients and their families. More than two thirds of nurses are moderately satisfied with their work. Job satisfaction was provided by the nature of work, management and relations with colleagues. The least satisfied were the salary, the possibility of recognition, the privileges granted and the work organization.

In this study, a survey was conducted on college students who had received education on food service entrepreneurship at the culinary and catering college and wished to start a business. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the motivation to start a restaurant business had a significant effect on the satisfaction of entrepreneurship education, but it did not appear to have a significant effect on the sense of self-efficacy. . In addition, self-efficacy was found to have a significant effect on entrepreneurial intention, and it was confirmed that both men and women played a moderating role in the relationship between entrepreneurship education satisfaction and self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention.
A Food Service Journal Reporter's Autoethnography Regarding His Understanding of The Initial Process of the Food Service Industry
Authors:   The Foodservice Management Society Of Korea, Choi Dong-Joo
Published: January 2023

This study is an autoethnography in which ‘I’, who worked as a reporter in a food service journal as the first work life, depicted the birth and development of the domestic food service industry and stories of the field of restaurants. In this article, I tried to vividly reproduce the culture of the food service industry that I saw and experienced in the journal, and I expect readers to understand the attributes and reality of the food service industry through my autobiographical stories. I divided my experience into three stages. In the first stage, 'time of adaptation', I focused on the difficulties for a non-major to write about food service and in the second stage, 'time of discovery', I focused on a story about my search for a field in which I can be interested and immersed in an awkward environment. Finally, in the third stage, 'time of alternatives', I focused on the 'meaning of the 1988 Olympics', 'meanings contained in the food service industry', and 'insight into food service obtained through observation.' I expect that readers will gain an insight to connect the unique situation of the food service industry to the future through the understanding of the situation.
Clarity of self-concept and psychological well-being of teachers of general secondary education institutions

Published: January 2023

The article presents the results of an empirical study of the clarity of the self-concept of teachers of general secondary education institutions as a degree of expressiveness, internal coherence and stability of the structural elements of the self-concept that make up its content. An insufficient level of clarity of self-concept was established for quite a large number of teachers. Attention is focused on the fact that people with low self-clarity have higher levels of anxiety, depression, emotional instability, a tendency to destructive types of reflection, and rumination than people with high self-concept clarity

The gender-age and organizational-professional features of the clarity of the self-concept of teachers of general secondary education institutions are determined. In particular, it was established that male pedagogical workers are characterized by a higher level of self-concept clarity than women, although such differences level off with age. In addition, it was determined that the clarity of the self-concept is higher among teachers from lyceums and gymnasiums compared to their colleagues from traditional institutions of general secondary education, especially among those who hold managerial positions.The relationship between the clarity of teachers' self-concept and their psychological well-being was revealed. It was established that the higher the level of clarity of self-concept, the higher indicators of psychological well-being are characterized by the studied teachers.A conclusion was made about the expediency of developing the clarity of the self-concept of teachers of general secondary education institutions, which will contribute to their psychological well-being.

A recent discovery of Amanita brunneitoxicaria revealed that this mushroom and A. exitialis are the main causative agents of fatal mushroom poisoning in Thailand. Poisonous amatoxins present are bicyclic octapeptides encoded by the MSDIN family and macrocyclized by prolyl oligopeptidase B enzyme. Diversity of the MSDIN toxin-associated genes in A. brunneitoxicaria however, remains unexplored. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize the MSDIN family members in A. brunneitoxicaria in comparison with A. exitialis based on whole genome sequencing, followed by gene annotation using bioinformatic tools. Identification of conserved core peptides of the MSDIN family revealed the presence of α-amanitin and β-amanitin as endogenous toxins in A. brunneitoxicaria. In addition to the major amatoxins, amanexitide and phallacidin were also found in A. exitialis. Phylogenetic analyses of the MSDIN family members showed that an unknown peptide present in A. brunneitoxicaria is clustered with phalloidin. On the basis of PCR detection, a modified forward primer was incorporated into the PCR reactions to obtain clear and distinctive DNA fragments of approximately 300 bp from three deadly poisonous mushrooms of A. brunneitoxicaria, A. exitialis and A. fuliginea in the section Phalloideae. Hence, they could be distinguished from other edible and less toxic species in the same genus. Such rapid and accurate identification of the target region of the MSDIN family from the lethal mushrooms is relevant as means to reduce mortality.
HIGHLIGHTS

Amanita brunneitoxicaria and A. exitialis are responsible for most cases of fatal mushroom poisoning in Thailand
During wild mushroom foraging, A. brunneitoxicaria is often mistaken for the edible species of A. vaginata
A. brunneitoxicaria and other lethal aminitas contain amatoxin-producing genes encoded by the MSDIN family
PCR-based detection of the target region of the MSDIN family can be used to distinguish the lethal aminitas in the section Phalloideae
This rapid detection is useful for timely and appropriate medical treatment of mushroom intoxication

Authors: Marta Tivani , Heri Mulyono  , Irsyadunas
Published: January 2023

Proses pembelajaran dilakukan secara daring selama masa pandemic covid-19. Hal ini menuntut guru untuk menciptakan bahan ajar yang efektif agar proses pembelajaran tetap berjalan dengan efisien. Di SMK Negeri 2 Padang, guru dan siswa menggunakan google classroom sebagai media pembelajaran. Namun siswa masih belum begitu memahami cara menggunakan fitur-fitur yang terdapat pada google classroom. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penerimaan siswa terhadap penggunaan google classroom menggunakan metode Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) dengan empat variabel/indikator yaitu kemudahan penggunaan (perceived ease of use), persepsi kegunaan (perceived usefulness), sikap terhadap penggunaan (attitude toward using), dan penerimaan google classroom (acceptance of google classroom). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dan penelitian survei dengan menyebarkan kuesioner kepada 94 responden siswa aktif di SMK Negeri 2 Padang. Sampel diambil dengan menggunakan teknik random sampling. Pada hasil analisis regresi linier berganda, secara parsial hasil penerimaan google classroom berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap persepsi kegunaan (perceived usefulness) dan sikap terhadap penggunaan (attitude toward using). Sedangkan hasil penerimaan pengguna google classroom secara simultan berpengaruh positif dan signifikan.
