Authors: Kadaruddin Kadaruddin
Published: August 2023

As the educational landscape endures continuous change, artificial intelligence (AI) has presented unprecedented opportunities to revolutionize instructional methods. Among these cutting-edge AI technologies, Generative AI has emerged as a promising instrument with the potential to empower educators and students through innovative instructional strategies. This article aims to investigate the various applications of Generative AI in education and cast light on its role in shaping the future of education. The objectives of this study are twofold: first, to investigate the various instructional strategies that can be enhanced by employing Generative AI, and second, to assess the potential impact of these strategies on student learning outcomes. To accomplish these goals, a comprehensive literature review was conducted analyzing existing studies and applications of Generative AI in educational settings. The results and discussions emphasize the numerous educational benefits of Generative AI. Educators can personalize learning experiences, create interactive content, and facilitate adaptive assessments by leveraging the capabilities of Generative AI. This individualized strategy has the potential to boost learner engagement and knowledge retention. However, despite the numerous advantages, ethical concerns and difficulties arise. The responsible incorporation of Generative AI in education requires addressing issues such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the educator's role in directing AI-driven learning experiences. The research concludes by emphasizing that Generative AI holds enormous promise for empowering education and transforming instructional practices. The findings highlight the importance of ongoing collaboration between educators, policymakers, and AI developers to ensure the ethical and equitable integration of Generative AI into educational environments. By embracing the potential of Generative AI while remaining vigilant regarding its challenges, the field of education can unlock novel opportunities to nurture an inclusive, adaptive, and learner-centric pedagogical landscape for tomorrow's learners.

Marketing is a human activity to satisfy needs and wants through the process, offering and exchanging (value) products with others. In this case, the supplier of mung bean sprouts came from the mung bean sprouts agro-industry in Punia Village, Mataram City. The marketing process of mung bean sprouts from the mung bean sprouts agro-industry will experience a long process and will experience price changes from the mung bean sprouts agro-industry to consumers through existing marketing agencies. The method used in this study is a quantitative descriptive method, namely the method used to solve problems that occur at the present time by collecting data, compiling, analyzing, and drawing conclusions and interpreting. The results of this study indicate that the marketing of mung bean sprouts has two marketing patterns that occur, namely: 1). Mung bean sprouts agroindustry – Retailers – Consumers, 2). Mung bean sprout agro-industry – Wholesalers – Retailers – Consumers. The marketing margin for the first channel is Rp.1,071 with an efficiency of 70% and the margin for the second channel is Rp. 1,571 with an efficiency of 30%, this shows that the two marketing channels are efficient. The two marketing channels for mung bean sprouts in Punia Village, Mataram City are efficient channels. But the most efficient channel is marketing channel I because the percentage in marketing channel I is as much as 70% and the channel used is shorter.

Published: August 2023

Context: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a type of breast cancer with the highest aggressiveness and malignancy characteristics. Aims: To evaluate the possible anticancer potential of Cyperus rotundus rhizome extract (CRE) against 4T1-tumor-bearing mice. Methods: C. rotundus rhizome was extracted using maceration methods with ethanol. C. rotundus extract (CRE) was then determined the total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid content (TFC) using colorimetric analysis. The cytotoxic activity of CRE against 4T1 cells was carried out operating WST-1 assay, and the IC50 value was then used for in vivo study. The 4T1-tumor-bearing mice were treated with CRE at 72.5, 145, and 290 mg/kg body weight (BW) for two weeks or treated with cisplatin once a week for two weeks (4 mg/kg BW). The analysis of IL-2 cytokines production and the activation of CD4 and CD8 T cells was assessed using flow cytometry analysis. Histopathological analysis with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was applied to determine the outcome of CRE on breast cancer tissue. Results: CRE indicated a higher TPC (76.97 mg GAE/g) value than TFC (29.37 mg QE/g). This study demonstrated a significant reduction of IL-2 cytokines and CD4 T cell activation in treated groups than in the cancer group (p<0.05) and showed a good prognosis, further confirmed by histopathological data. The breast tissue of 4T1-tumor-bearing mice in treated groups showed apoptotic cells compared to the cancer group, which has more viable cells. Conclusions: The high phenolic content in CRE can modulate mice's immune systems and induce cancer cell apoptosis.

Authors: Lodra Ester Handayani , Effendi Muhammad Chair , Permatasari Nur , Dradjat Respati Suryanto
Published: August 2023

Context: Edentulism is a global health burden with long-life disabilities. Dental implant procedures are frequently constrained to alveolar residual ridge resorption. The resorption is strongly correlated with an imbalance of osteoblast-osteoclast activities. Estrogen well established maintain bone homeostasis. Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) is a promising drug candidate to promote estrogenic activity and resist residual ridge resorption. Aims: To evaluate the drug-likeness, pharmacokinetic, toxicity as well as molecular interaction prediction between T. foenum-graecum metabolite compounds and estrogen receptor-α (ESRα)/estrogen receptor-ß (ESRß). Methods: The drug-likeness was evaluated using Lipinski's rule of five. A web server (PkCSM) was used to predict the pharmacokinetics and toxicity. The metabolites were retrieved from the Kanaya database. The biological activity prediction was performed using PASS Online. The ligands’ structures were downloaded from PubChem National Centre for Biotechnology Information database. Proteins were obtained from Protein Data Bank. Molecular docking prediction was carried out using PyRx software and visualized using Discovery Studio Software. Results: Quercetin, naringenin, luteolin, and kaempferol displayed the highest biological activity of estrogen agonist, anti-inflammatory, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) expression inhibitor. Four metabolites exhibited the potential to be developed as oral drugs with good absorption in gastrointestinal, moderate tissue distribution, and safe for liver tissue. Quercetin and kaempferol showed the most negative value of binding affinity. Quercetin formed three hydrogen bonds and eight hydrophobic bonds with ESRα. Luteolin had three hydrogen bonds and five hydrophobic bonds on ESRβ. Conclusions: Metabolites present in T. foenum-graecum, like quercetin, naringenin, luteolin, and kaempferol, were potential drug candidates that could act as estrogen agonists to inhibit the dental residual ridge resorption.

Litopenaeus vannamei is an important aquaculture species in the Philippines and in the world. Its production continues to increase due to its fast growth and lower protein requirement, making it a favorable species to culture. However, sustainability of the this industry is hampered by the occurrence of viral diseases. White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is considered the most devastating shrimp viral pathogen which can cause up to 100% mortality few days upon the onset of the infection. To understand the rapid mortality of the infected shrimps, this study examined histological changes in the stomach and hepatopancreas of Litopenaeus vannamei induced with WSSV infection. Results showed that cells in the stomach of infected L. vannamei undergo cellular abnormalities including hypertrophied nucleus, chromatin margination and basophilic inclusion bodies. The hepatopancreas was also observed to present basophilic inclusion bodies and chromatin margination. Disruption of the tubular epithelium in the hepatopancreas were further observed. These cellular damages that result to tissue and organ destruction as the infection progresses lead to the loss of the functions of these organs which probably contributed to the rapid mortality of shrimp infected with WSSV.
Formación y adquisición de la masa ósea. Un compromiso del Ginecoobstetra en un programa interdisciplinario
Authors: Sánchez-Escobar Fabio
Published: August 2023

This article provides an overview of the process of bone mass development and acquisition, starting from gestation until reaching peak bone mass, as well as the presence of certain disorders. Bone mass formation has been studied at various stages of development, from pregnancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, where the greatest increase occurs to achieve peak bone mass. The increase in bone mass begins during the gestation process as a period of high fetal calcium demand and continues from birth through childhood and infancy, experiencing its maximum growth during adolescence until reaching the peak of bone mass in adulthood, around 20-30 years of age. Approximately 70% of bone mass is inherited from parents, while the remaining percentage is acquired through the processes of gestation, development, and growth, where environmental factors, nutrition, exercise, avoidance of toxic substances, and maintaining overall health contribute to achieving the highest concentration of bone mass. This becomes a reserve to respond to bone loss that typically starts around the age of 40, with the greatest loss during the transition to menopause and later, at a slower rate, during old age.

Geography in Psalms: Hagiosophitikon Settings of Psalms 1, 2 and 3
Authors: Wanek Nina-Maria
Published: August 2023

The term hagiosophitikon is quite well-known in Byzantine chant, where it occurs in manuscripts from the 14th century onwards: Most often one encounters the designation hagiosophitikon in rubrics of settings of Psalm 1 (Μακάριος ἀνήρ) and Psalm 3 (Κύριε, τί ἐπληθύνθησαν οἱ θλίβοντές με). Nevertheless, neither the exact meaning of hagiosophitikon has ever been clearly determined, nor have the settings themselves been melodically analysed yet.
Thus, hagiosophitikon is sometimes explained to denote chants associated with services in the church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople and in Thessaloniki respectively, and/or to represent hymns rather conservative in outline or to have been composed in a very local style.
The present article will aim at both clarifying the term’s meaning itself as well as presenting a detailed analysis of the compositional style by comparing the hagiosophitikon settings of Psalms 1 and 3 among themselves and with melodies named palaion (old) in manuscripts of the 14th and 15th centuries: What kind of compositional style do the hagiosophitikon settings display, do they use formulas and if yes which ones, might their syllabic parts show traces of the old, so-called “simple” psalmody and how are the melismatic parts treated? – These are just some of the questions which will be discussed in the article in order to get closer to resolving the unanswered questions surrounding the term hagiosophitikon.
LITERATURA E FILOSOFIA
Authors: Goulart Audemaro Taranto
Published: August 2023

A proposta deste trabalho visa a refletir sobre a interação que se pode estabelecer entre literatura e filosofia (e outras linguagens), na expectativa de entrever princípios que se possam reunir a outros na tarefa de apresentar práticas que, de algum modo, façam frente à singular presença de notícias e informações que se colocam, sobretudo nas redes sociais, explorando um painel marcado por uma carga ideológica. Tendo em vista a ocorrência de fatos e situações que o desenvolvimento do mundo tecnológico vem colocando para seduzir os indivíduos na realidade contemporânea, um sinal de alerta tem aparecido. Esses fatos e situações se expandem com capacidade operacional para alterar o rumo da vida social e o próprio bem-estar dos sujeitos. Isso ocorre a partir de uma realidade que trabalha com a sedução de falácias que, a bem dizer, inventam um mundo construído com intencional obscurantismo. E é nesse cenário que o saber filosófico, articulado com outras áreas do conhecimento, pode oferecer uma significativa contribuição para evitar os danos que uma ideologia perversa põe em cena.
DA EXPERIÊNCIA À PALAVRA ESCRITA
Authors: Schröder Bruno
Published: August 2023

A literatura testemunhal é uma forma de literatura que emerge em contextos históricos traumáticos, ela se caracteriza por uma tensão entre o desejo de contar e o horror da experiência vivida. O testemunho, nesse sentido, não é apenas um relato de fatos, mas uma forma de buscar um sentido mais profundo. Ela se distingue de outras formas de narrativa por sua ênfase na autenticidade, ela não se limita a relatar fatos, mas busca expressar as vivências subjetivas mais profundas das vítimas, inclusive às espirituais. A mística contemporânea caracteriza-se por ser uma experiência direta e íntima com o divino que pode acontecer fora das estruturas de religiões institucionalizadas. São experiências de difícil comunicação, mas a literatura testemunhal oferece um espaço significativo.
JOHN LOCKE E A LINGUAGEM NO ENSAIO

Published: August 2023

O objetivo deste texto é compreender a origem, a significação e a relação entre palavra e ideia nos três primeiros capítulos do Ensaio sobre o entendimento humano de John Locke. O foco de nossa análise desses conceitos é a função utilitária da linguagem, considerando a significação dos termos gerais, os limites e problemas decorrentes de seu mau uso. O artigo está dividido em duas partes: na primeira, analisa a origem, significação e função utilitária da linguagem; na segunda, aborda o significado dos termos gerais. Ainda que o presente texto tenha um perfil introdutório à filosofia da linguagem de Locke, esperamos colaborar de algum modo com o avanço das pesquisas sobre o filósofo inglês no Brasil.
CAPITALISMO DISCIPLINAR
Authors: Morais Pedro Ricardo Souza
Published: August 2023

Foucault adota a compreensão do poder exercido nas relações e a partir delas. Assim, o autor postula que o poder não apenas se impõe negativamente por meio dos limites, das leis e coerções; mas se exerce de maneira mais sofisticada em seu caráter disciplinar, de modo produtivo. Disso tem-se que a maior eficácia do poder se dá na medida em que ele produz sujeitos dóceis por meio do assujeitamento dos corpos. Nesse sentido, Foucault analisa a consolidação da sociedade capitalista como um processo do desenvolvimento dos dispositivos disciplinares, pois os fins do capitalismo se manifestam como a busca pela extração sempre majorada das forças dos corpos. Tal economia de forças se efetiva por um sistema de vigilância hierarquizado que organiza os corpos no espaço e no tempo. A partir desse dispositivo surge a norma, a qual majora os efeitos do poder a partir da internalização de suas determinações.
ADOLFO CASAIS MONTEIRO E A FILOSOFIA LATENTE DA NOVA POESIA PORTUGUESA
Authors: Silva Wanderley Dias da
Published: August 2023

O artigo busca refletir sobre o ‘problema da unidade’ elaborado por Adolfo Casais Monteiro na sua tarefa, propedêutica, de situar Fernando Pessoa entre seus pares – Antero de Quental e Teixeira de Pascoaes – e junto à nova dimensão da poesia portuguesa. Para tanto, insiste Monteiro, primeiro precisamos demonstrar que existe uma filosofia latente, um nexo comum, que permeia os pensamentos desses autores – e nisto consiste o ‘problema da unidade’. A reflexão é, todavia, suscitada pela declaração de um outro pensador, igualmente arrebatado pela genial obra de Fernando Pessoa, a saber, Eduardo Lourenço; que, certa feita, afirmou que custava-lhe imaginar que alguém poderia um dia falar melhor de Pessoa do que ele mesmo. Em suma, provocado pela argúcia de Lourenço, a investigação busca, no próprio Fernando Pessoa, uma resposta para o problema da unidade colocado por Casais Monteiro.
Tales of the Constituent Moment
Authors: Paydaş Eren
Published: August 2023

This book delves into the intricate relationship between constitutional preambles and origin/creation stories found in comparative mythology. It uncovers remarkable structural and thematic parallels between these narratives, seamlessly blending legal scholarship with the captivating field of narratology. Through a meticulous examination of how constitutional preambles provide context to the constitution and how creation myths infuse profound meaning and significance into the transformative moments of birthing a new polity, the book establishes historical and horizontal connections across a diverse range of texts that contribute to the paratextual genre of "preambles". Employing theoretical frameworks from philosophy, theology, and history, this book eloquently showcases the unbroken continuity of constituent politico-legal discourses, bridging the gap between ancient times and the modern world.

Isolation of soil Bacillus spp with inhibitory activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
Authors: Moore Kaitlin , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

The overuse of antibiotics in both human medicine and agriculture has contributed greatly to the crisis we experience today. In the United States alone, at least 2 million people acquire resistant infections with approximately 23,000 of these cases resulting in death each year. MRSA infection, in otherwise healthy individuals, affects the superficial skin and soft tissues, though more serious infections can arise, affecting the deep soft tissues, blood, and bone. MRSA is able to avoid the body’s immune system through production of biofilm as well as certain toxins. These virulence factors, in combination with multidrug resistance, result in high morbidity and mortality rates. One of the first studies, published in 1904, to detail the effect of soil organisms on pathogens reported the inhibition and death of pathogens as a result of saprophytes. Several soil organisms found to have inhibitory effects on a range of pathogens have since been reported. The most common antagonistic soil organisms can be divided into four major genera, including the spore-forming genus, Bacillus. A protocol for the isolation of soil Bacillus spp was followed after which the samples were screened against a methicillin-sensitive strain of S. aureus. Those isolates producing zones of inhibition were selected for purification. These pure cultures were then tested against a resistant strain. The most promising isolates were identified by 16S rRNA sequencing. Spent media analysis is currently in progress.

Published: August 2023

Leaders in nursing education embrace innovative, real‐world learning environments that transform today's generation of nursing students into critical thinkers. Scheduling exclusive child‐bearing practicums are challenging due to staffing, time, and maternal client presentation (Ardic, et al., 2016). Utilizing Mezirow’s (2000) Transformative Learning Theory, a perinatal continuum of care clinical learning experience evolved. Maternal/infant didactic, high‐fidelity simulation, and real‐world experiences relative to women during the perinatal period afforded an innovative, research supported experience. The aim of this study was to identify the outcomes of students learning through his perinatal experience. Participants (n = 50) consisted of third‐semester baccalaureate nursing students enrolled in the maternal/infant course in rural, Midwestern United States. Results from the descriptive, qualitative study by Ward and Hober (2020) using 50 student reflective journal blogs obtained from consecutive concluding semesters discerned 3 themes: self‐analysis, critical thinking, and self‐efficacy.

Published: August 2023

Toxic effects of sulfide have long been recognized. However, specific physiological effects have been investigated in few metabolic systems. Much of sulfide toxicity comes from inhibition of the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase (CytOx), which catalyzes the terminal step in aerobic respiration in eukaryotes. Previous work investigated CytOx activity in the presence of sulfide in numerous plant species and showed that estuarine species were more tolerant of sulfide compared to flooding sensitive species. This suggested that varying sensitivities of CytOx to sulfide exist across organisms as an adaptive mechanism to life in highly sulfidic salt marshes. But little is known whether fish species that live in sulfide-rich environments have a similar adaptive mechanism compared to those that live in pristine environments. Objectives of this study were to examine the expression of CytOx mRNA of common carp harvested from pristine environment and compare with enzyme activity in liver and muscle of common carp, fathead minnow, and channel catfish. Cytochrome c oxidase activities were measured in tissue homogenate exposed to 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 μM sodium sulfide. CytOx activities were significantly higher in liver compared to muscle tissues. Activities of CytOx were very sensitive to sulfide in all tissues and were near zero at 5 μM sulfide. Cytochrome c oxidase activities in all 3 species were equally sensitive to sulfide. This illustrates the potent metabolic effects of sulfide. Human physiology is also sensitive to sulfide, making the results of this study potentially useful in several contexts.
Change in the magnitude of meiotic drive due to increased temperature

While major changes to chromosomal form is generally deleterious, karyotypes are not static. Major chromosomal rearrangements contribute to genetic isolation and divergence within and between species. As mechanisms that drive these divergences have not been fully elucidated. We hypothesize that meiotic drive, ie. bias transmission from parent to offspring, has contributed to the reshaping of karyotypes. Drosophila americana and Drosophila novamexicana are sister species that are an excellent model to study such evolutionary forces. Since diverging from D. novamexicana, D. americana has had two major chromosomal rearrangements: centromere fusions between the 2nd and 3rd chromosomes and the X and 4th chromosome. The X-4 chromosome has remained polymorphic. It is found in a latitudinal gradient along the Mississippi River. Northern populations contain more of the fused arrangement while southern populations have more of the unfused arrangement. With meiotic drive favoring the X-4 chromosome, it should fix in the population. There are two leading hypotheses explaining the polymorphic nature of the X-4 fused chromosome. First, the meiotic drive is only activated in times of stress, which is more consistent in Northern populations. Second, Meiotic drive occurs in all flies, but selection against the fused X-4 chromosome is high in climates that are more associated with the Southern United States. This study was intended to identify if increased temperature affects meiotic drive. We measured inheritance patterns from heterozygous females to offspring at an increased temperature. Then the offspring’s DNA was extracted. PCR and Gel electrophoresis was done to identify which chromosome was inherited.
Does Race Affect NBA Players Salary?

The NBA is constantly accused of race affecting the players salary. The research conducted will be able to help determine if that is actually the case or not. Using variables such as assist ratings, rebound ratings, and field goal ratings, and using race as a dummy variable, I was able to come to a conclusion on if the players race played a role in their salary or not. With using just the simple amount of performance variables, I was able to conclude that the NBA players do not get paid according to their skin color.
Chemical Analysis of Local Kansas Clay and Use in Ceramic Art

Seeking to learn more about local materials and their potential use in ceramic art as well as investigating the possibility of replicating the effects of local clay using raw materials, a sample of locally harvested clay was sent to CoorsTek Analytical Laboratories. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) processes determined the chemical contents of the sample and the list of elements was converted into a clay body recipe via the Unity Molecular Formula to target specific desirable characteristics. Further experimentation over the course of more than a year has yielded highly promising results which prove to be both useful for my practice now, and have led to inspiring questions for future research.
'We're All Struggling Together': Understanding the Student Perspective of ERT and RHT at Fort Hays State University
Authors: Jank Kylie , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of moving courses online during the Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) spring 2020 semester and the Remote Hybrid Teaching (RHT) semesters [F2020 and S2021] at Fort Hays State University. Using focus group data and magnitude coding, this study concentrated on understanding the on-campus student perspective of instructional deliveries, coursework expectations, juggling priorities, skills gained, and teaching strategies. Findings indicated higher magnitudes for the negative codes involving instructional deliveries, coursework expectations, and juggling priorities. Resulting in a high magnitude of positive codes, students were able to identify some skills gained during ERT and RHT. Findings suggested a preference for the face-to-face learning environment in the future. Using the Community of Inquiry framework, FHSU should focus on teacher presence and social/cognitive presence in upcoming semesters.

Effects of nitrogen fertilizer on drought-affected corn (Zea mays)
Authors: Smith Nathan , null null , null null , null null , null null , null null
Published: August 2023

This project explored the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on droughted corn plants. It aimed to investigate whether the amount of fertilizer would affect the rate at which the plant underwent photosynthesis. The hypothesis was that nitrogen would have little or reduced effect on a droughted plant, due to the requirement of water to undergo photosynthesis. To test this, three nitrogen treatments (zero, low, and high concentrations) and two water treatments (well-watered and droughted) were used on corn plants. Chlorophyll concentration, height, stomatal conductance, internal CO2, and photosynthesis were measured for eight weeks of treatment. Increased water primarily had an effect on the height of the plant, while the nitrogen treatments primarily affected chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rates. This suggests that while plants experience stunted growth when droughted, they do not experience a significant change in photosynthetic rates, which are decided by the nitrogen content of the soil rather than the water content.

Lean Six Sigma strategies were used to decrease patient wait times and improve operating room efficiency in the perioperative services departments of a rural hospital. Data from the various aspects of the patients' surgical pathway, including operating room turnaround times, were collected. Data from pre- and post-implementation of the workflow process changes instituted throughout the project were collected and analyzed. Lean Six Sigma methodologies were used as the instruments to observe, analyze, implement, and improve workflow processes in the operating room and in the same-day services areas of the hospital. Workflow optimization was encouraged within the various areas to improve efficiency and decrease wait times. As a result of the use of Lean Six Sigma techniques to improve workflow processes, patient wait times decreased by 10.2% from patients' arrival to hospital to their readiness for surgery. Furthermore, total operating room total turnaround time was reduced by 33.87 minutes.
