School’s Out: Exploring Learning By Doing Methods In On-Site Design Build Architecture Workshops
Authors:   Texas Tech University, Shea Brendan Sullivan , Hitch Neal Lucas ,   Texas Tech University
Published: January 2024

The paper details current endeavors by the authors to explore and expand notions of sustainable design through two design-build festivals hosted during the summer of 2022 that each re-engaged historical architectural sites in ecologically diverse contexts. The paper first outlines the history of design-build pedagogies in the United States, from the founding of some of the country’s first colleges of design to contemporary manifestations of festival architecture as seen in pop-culture contexts. Next, the authors detail how this history impacts the site, structure, and organization of the two research projects presented in the paper: one in a temperate forest ecoregion of North America located on the historic site of the 1969 Woodstock festival, appropriating research into laminate wood construction previously conducted by the authors; and the other in the Błędowska Desert of Poland, an area of anthropogenic desertification in Central Europe, which aims to expand research in silt-casting conducted in labs at Arcosanti, Arizona, onto rapidly transforming sites across the Atlantic. The following projects and observations provide a lens into the participatory research methods and engagement strategies unique to the design-build festival model and argue for the festival model’s capacity to adapt to site conditions, transform contemporary forms of architectural production, and engender a framework of community resilience; all the while amplifying contact and collaboration among groups of interdisciplinary experts through hands-on exploration at a construction site. As an illustration of how festivals allow designers to rethink the materials that are used to build, the paper examines the development of generative material processes and robust construction systems (in particular, laminated wood and silt-cast composites) as both a pre-festival site of research and a means of hands-on, on-site design exploration, invention, and evolution. The paper specifically addresses the relationship between structure and infrastructure in the context of the design-build festival, describing the application of the aforementioned principles and prototypes as implemented in two pavilion-scaled structures—in each case, a site-specific and environmentally-sensitive design—conceived as part of a larger communal infrastructure intended to galvanize resilient, even if temporary, communities of artists, architects, writers, researchers, and musicians during the festivals.
Circular Economy Design towards a Resilient Zero Waste Future
Authors:   McGill University, Rondinel-Oviedo Daniel R. , Keena Naomi ,   McGill University
Published: January 2024

Striving to be more resilient, the city of Montréal, is aiming to reduce the amount of waste it generates. Like many cities worldwide, the goal is to achieve zero waste towards meeting the Paris Agreement Goals. One major component of urban waste flows is construction, demolition, and renovation (CRD) waste. Globally, CRD waste accounts for approximately 100 billion tons of generated waste annually with about 35 percent of that sent to landfills1. In Canada, CRD waste represents 20-30% of the solid waste stream by weight2. However, research shows that innovative waste management approaches could deliver significant reductions in waste. One such promising approach is that of circular economy (CE) which envisions a resilient future where CRD waste is designed-out of the built environment by keeping construction materials in use. This research project seeks to minimize CRD waste by answering two questions: (1) Which circular economy principles and methods could be effective in ensuring sustainable CRD material management for Montréal; and (2) What kind of stakeholder partnerships are necessary to advance towards zero CRD waste? A series of methods for data collection are outlined, a BIM model of typically housing typology is used as a means to understand the composition of materials in the housing stock of Montréal, finally collected data is mapped and organized using data visualization methods. The research holds significance in providing the most pertinent circular economy best practices to building related CRD material recovery for future use architecture and carbon preservation.

Hukuman Pidana Mati bagi Pelaku Tindak Pidana Pembunuhan Berencana dalam Tafsir Ibn 'Asyur, al-Tahrir wa al-Tanwir
Authors: Nawawi Ruston
Published: January 2024

Considering the many controversies surrounding the death penalty, it is very important to present a discussion of the issue of the death penalty from various social justice and legal perspectives, especially the perspective of the Qur’an. This study aims to reveal ibn ‘Asyur’s Tafsir, al-Tahrir wa al-Tanwir. Within the framework of efforts to combine progressive and realist jurisprudence according to developments over time, the urgency of resolving problems that have arisen since the classical period is something that must be done if the Indonesian Muslim, especially observers of Islamic law, really wants to resolve Islamic legal problems and implement them in this country seriously. Not too many studies have been carried out intensively and seriously enough on this issue. Based on the idea that the polemic regarding this issue has not yet ended, a serious study of the death penalty from an Islamic legal perspective needs to be carried out.

This study aims to determine the learning of al-Qur’an through the Ummi method at Islamic Kindergarten Widya Cendekia. This research employs a qualitative research approach with a case study design. The data were obtained from the results of observations, interviews, and document reviews. The results showed that the application of the Ummi method carried out by Islamic Kindergarten Widya Cendekia in learning al-Qur’an had a good effect on children's ability to read al-Qur’an properly and correctly and increased their ability to memorize al-Qur'an. This can be seen from the response and behavior of students when learning al-Qur’an using the Ummi method. The students were able to follow the reading tonnes of Ummi and tajwid (the structure of Qur’an recitation). Certified teachers who routinely conduct training in learning the ummi method and the availability of teaching aids are both supportive and inhibiting factors in using the ummi method. The inhibiting factors in the implementation of the ummi method were that each group consisted of students who had different abilities or volume achievements, a lack of cooperation between parents and teachers in learning to read al-Qur’an, and a lack of teacher ability in managing Qur'an learning classes using the ummi method.
LA TRADUCCIÓN DE DEFINICIONES EN TEXTOS MÉDICOS PARA PACIENTES
Authors: Gallego Borghini Lorenzo
Published: January 2024

Los textos médicos dirigidos al público lego contienen gran cantidad de definiciones, engarzadas como burbujas informativas en puntos clave del discurso, allí donde se introduce un concepto nuevo. La definición formal o canónica, introducida con un hiperónimo, es la que plantea menos problemas en la traducción; sin embargo, hay otras definiciones, así como cuasidefiniciones y pseudodefiniciones, que suscitan problemas al traducir al español, porque exponen los vicios lógicos del original o porque están formuladas con recursos propios del inglés que nuestra lengua no puede reproducir. En este artículo se repasan los tipos de definición más habituales en estos textos, tomando ejemplos de un corpus de consentimientos informados para investigación clínica, y se proponen estrategias de traducción. En concreto, se defiende la propuesta de reformular con una definición canónica las cuasidefiniciones o pseudodefiniciones del original, para que resulten fácilmente reconocibles al lector, partiendo de una concepción de la definición como estructura lingüística independiente, casi como un microgénero textual. Se reivindica la definición, en suma, como unidad de traducción.

Authors: Alfiansyah Raja , Zufria Ilka
Published: January 2024

The insufficient number of alumni students displaying a strong work ethic can be attributed to a mismatch between the talents and interests of alumni in the UINSU MEDAN KPI area, which should be the focal point of monitoring for these Indonesian youths. The effective management of alumni can offer a potential solution. In this study, researchers employed the ANP method to calculate career recommendations and ranked them using the TOPSIS method. The research methodology included a comprehensive literature review, observational data collection, interviews, documentation analysis, system flowchart design, ANP method application, TOPSIS method application, and system testing conducted using the black box method. Based on the calculations using the ANP and TOPSIS methods, Alternative A1 emerged as the top priority, scoring 1, while Alternative A13 received the lowest priority with a score of 0.13. These calculations were based on six criteria: discipline, honesty, responsibility, teamwork skills, and technical or practical proficiency. The highest-ranked career recommendation was "Insight into print, radio, and television media" with a manual priority of 0.7747 and a system-assigned priority of 0.73. Conversely, "Cameramen in television media" received the lowest score, with a value of 0.13 and a system-assigned priority of 0.13.

Authors: Setyowati Yulis , Priambudi Surya , Dewanto Dewanto
Published: January 2024

As an educator, a teacher ideally should have a strong understanding of the concept of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in learning and assessment. This understanding is crucial to support the implementation of teaching and assessment in the era of Society 5.0. Higher Order Thinking Skills, commonly known as HOTS, refer to an individual's ability to think in a more complex manner. Indicators used in HOTS questions include three aspects within the context of Bloom's taxonomy, namely analysis (C4), evaluation (C5), and creation (C6). This community service activity aims to illustrate the steps and analyze the results of supervision in enhancing the competence of teachers in developing HOTS-based learning assessments at SMA Wijaya Putra in Surabaya. The supervision method employed is participative, utilizing direct guidance and Focus Group Discussions. The results of this supervision show an improvement in teachers' ability to create assessments of learning.This improvement is evident in the initial observation of learning assessments, where only  ability increased to 75%, indicating a substantial improvement from the initial condition. In conclusion, this community service activity successfully enhanced the skills of teachers in developing HOTS-based assessments.".
Protecting the Future: Enriching reflections on the Covid-19 pandemic from Interdisciplinary Research
Authors: Kusuma Bayu Mitra A.
Published: January 2024

Covid-19 spreads sporadically throughout the world at a high mortality rate. This virus caused a health crisis that forced the World Health Organization to declare it a global pandemic and caused various countries to implement massive social restrictions. Until March 2023, there were 160,963 deaths because of Covid-19, making Indonesia the second highest in Asia. Indonesia's lousy experience managing the Covid-19 pandemic should raise awareness that a crisis can occur at any time. Even though the current situation has improved a lot, preparedness and vigilance should not be neglected. No one can guarantee that a pandemic like Covid-19 will not occur again. Based on this situation, it is essential to look more deeply at the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and how scholars in various disciplines deal with it. To analyze future risks, interdisciplinary research is needed. This is a research approach that can link the main issues of the medical and health disciplines with other disciplines, such as the environment, social welfare, and public policy.

Published: January 2024

Illegal fishing in Indonesian territorial waters, especially by foreign fishermen, has harmed the Indonesian state financially, because it has contributed greatly in reducing productivity and catches very significantly. It has has also threatened the sustainability of the utilization of Indonesia’s marine fishery resources. Economic losses due to IUUF are not only in the form of state income which reaches the range of Rp. 30 trillion per year, but also the loss of opportunities to utilize fish resources of around 1 million tons of fish each year that can be caught (harvested) by Indonesian fishermen, and what happens is in fact stolen by foreign fishermen. entering Indonesian waters. Foreign fishermen who often enter Indonesian waters, among others, come from Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Malaysia. To prevent and overcome IUUF activities, one of the steps taken by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) of the Republic of Indonesia through the Directorate General of Supervision of Marine and Fishery Resources (DITJEN PSDKP) is to supervise fisheries such as fishing activities in the fisheries management area of ​​the Republic of Indonesia. Supervisory implementation is carried out by the Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) PSDKP. UPT Directorate General of PSDKP in handling its duties is supported by the Marine and Fishery Resources Supervision Unit (PSDKP Satker) and Marine and Fishery Resources Monitoring Post (PSDKP Post) spread throughout Indonesia. In carrying out its duties, the Fisheries Supervisory Vessel may stop, inspect, carry, and detain ships suspected of violating the law to the nearest port for further processing. In addition, based on Law No. 31 of 2004 concerning Fisheries, as amended by Law No. 45 of 2009, in certain cases Fishery Supervisory Vessels, in this case, fishery supervisors or Fisheries Civil Servants Investigators, can also take special actions in the form of drowning. The high level of fishing activity in the Indonesian State Fisheries Management Area 711 must be accompanied by adequate monitoring activities to ensure compliance by business actors, both industrial scale and small fishermen, so that the sustainability of fisheries resources can be maintained.

Published: January 2024

The growth in the amount of data in companies puts analysts in difficulties when extracting hidden knowledge from data. Several models have emerged that focus on the notion of distances while ignoring the notion of conditional probability density. This research study focuses on segmentation using mixture models and Bayesian networks for medical data mining. As enterprise data becomes large, there is a way to apply data mining methods to make sense of it using classification methods. We designed different models with different architectures and then applied these models to the medical database. The algorithms were implemented for the real data. The objective is to classify individuals according to the conditional probability density of random variables, in addition to identifying causalities between traits from tests of conditional independence and a correlation measure, both based on χ2. After a quick illustration of several models (decision tree, SVM, K-means, Bayes), we applied our method to data from an epidemiological study (done at the University of Kinshasa University clinics) of case-control of prostate cancer. Thus, we found after interpretation of the results followed by discussion that our model allows us to classify a new individual with an accuracy of 96%.

Authors: Balak O. K. , Lymanska O. Yu.
Published: January 2024

The goal of this study was determining the structural organization peculiarities of the ORF2 and ORF3 proteins of the bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV). Five ORFs were determined for two BIV isolates with complete genome using the ATGpr software, which permits effective prediction of translation initiation codons with nucleotide accuracy. Phyre2 software was used to predict, analyze the secondary structure and function of proteins. PONDR-FIT software was used to search for protein fragments in a disordered or natively unfolded state. Analysis of the amino acid composition of ORF2 and ORF3 proteins of BIVisolates regarding the presence of nonpolar, polar, aromatic, and hydrophobic amino acid residues was carried out using PSIPRED software. Models of the 3D-structure of proteins were obtained by I-TASSER server. 14% of α helices, 17% of β strands and 43% of disordered structure are predicted for the ORF3 protein. 37% of α helices, 0% of β strands, and 41% of disordered structure were determined for Gag polyprotein, which is translated from ORF2. The distribution of charged amino acid residues characterizes the surface properties of proteins. Their number reaches 23.9% for ORF2 protein. The amount of Arg is 5.2%, Lys — 8.0%, Glu — 7.3%, Asp — 3.4%. The total number of charged amino acid residues of ORF3 is 23.3%. The number of Arg is 12.6%, Lys — 4.9%, Glu — 1.9%, Asp — 3.9%. Only two ORFs of five ones coincide in nucleotide length (and, therefore, in length of corresponding proteins) for the two BIV isolates. The ORF3 protein belongs to the intrinsically disordered proteins that cannot be stably folded into a unique three-dimensional structure under physiological conditions, and the Gag polyprotein, which is translated from ORF2, belongs to the class of fully structured proteins. The secondary structure of both proteins shows the presence of α-helices
The Ethical Concerns Surrounding GPT in Education
Authors: Tajik Elham
Published: January 2024

The GPT language model, developed by OpenAI, has gained widespread
attention for its impressive ability to engage in conversational
interactions with human users, thanks to its extensive training on vast
amounts of written data. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that GPTs
and their derivatives can exhibit unethical behaviors. Despite this,
there has been limited research conducted on the ethical implications of
Large Language Models (LLMs) in higher education. To address these
concerns, this paper aims to comprehensively examine the harmful
behaviors displayed by GPT and its spin-offs. These behaviors encompass
social and monolingual biases, issues of reliability and
trustworthiness, data privacy and security concerns, toxicity in
generated content, challenges in human-computer interaction, and
environmental impact.by conducting this study, valuable insights will be
provided to educators, administrators, and students, enhancing their
awareness of the ethical risks inherent in GPT and its various versions.
This will enable them to proactively address and mitigate potential
ethical concerns arising from the use of LLMs in educational settings.
Situations and Modality in Predicative Modal Superlatives
Authors: Tovena Lucia M. , Fleury Damien Fleury
Published: January 2024

Predicative modal superlatives, such as Italian Luisa è stata il più calma possibile (‘Luisa was the most unperturbed possible’), state that the highest amount of calm that could be instantiated in the type of situation at hand, was associated with Luisa in the actual world. The semantic strategy proposed for tracking situations of the relevant type across worlds and varying individuals builds on the assumption that the modal adjective projects a predicate (Q) that captures specific circumstances affecting individuals that do not necessarily have a counterpart in all worlds, and that such circumstances cannot therefore be included in a standard modal base. The analysis verifies a relation between Luisa and a particular amount q in the real world w under some specific circumstances, and checks that for all amounts q’ and accessible worlds w’, if there is an individual holding the same relation to q’ in w’ and under the same circumstances, then q’ ≤ q.
Complex Possessive Pronouns in West Flemish and German
Authors: Demonie Anne-Li , Goryczka Pamela
Published: January 2024

In this article we discuss a contrastive, morphological agreement pattern exhibited by singular possessive pronouns in West Flemish and German. While West Flemish zen (‘his’) and eur (‘her’) require a suffix -en to mark masculine agreement, they are unmarked for feminine agreement. Conversely, German sein (‘his’) and ihr (‘her’) require a suffix -e to mark feminine agreement, but they are unmarked for masculine agreement. Put differently, in both languages only one gender is marked for agreement, and West Flemish marks a different gender than German. To account for this intra- and cross-linguistic variation, we argue for a fine-grained analysis, couched in Nanosyntax (Starke 2009 et seq.), of the possessive pronouns and their agreement markers.

Kebakaran merupakan suatu ancaman yang menakutkan bagi semua orang, dikutip dari berita tribunnews wonogiri menyatakan kasus kebakaran di kota wonogiri sampai akhir juni 2019 ini mencapai 27 kasus. Kepala Dinas pemadam kebakaran (Damkar) kota wonogiri , Agus Sutopo mengatakan , kasus kebakaran sampai saat ini cukup banyak terjadi. " Damkar mencatat kasus kebakaran memang cukup tinggi sebanyak 27 kasus," terang Agus Sutopo pada Tribunwonogiri.com. Dari beberapa kasus kejadian kebakaran rumah, kebakaran berawal dari ruang dapur diakibatkan oleh kebocoran gas yang tidak disadari dan tidak segera ditangani oleh pemilik rumah. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan alat yang dapat mendeteksi kebocoran Gas sebelum terjadinya kebakaran. Untuk memonitoring kebocoran gas serta pendeteksi dini akibat kebocoran gas dibuatlah prototipe pendeteksi kebocoran gas dengan menggunkan metode Internet Of Things dan NodeMcu sebagai kontrol unit. Perangkat dapat terhubung dengan smartphone melalui aplikasi bylink agar memudahkan pengguna memonitoring kondisi sekitar rumah kapanpun dan dimanapun secara realtime. Alat pendeteksi kebakaran ini dikembangkan menggunakan Arduino nano, Nodemcu, Sensor gas MQ-5, Sensor api Flame, Buzzer, Kipas DC, dan lampu LED. Alat ini mampu mendeteksi adanya kebocoran gas dengan jarak maksimal 20 cm dan mengirim sinyal kebocoran gas bila mendeteksi adanya kadar gas datas 700 ppm pada ruangan. Agar perangkat NodeMcu dan aplikasi bylink dapat digunakan keduanya harus selalu terhubung dengan koneksi internet sehingga dapat melakukan monitoring secara realtime dimana saja. Dari perangkat tersebut pengguna bisa mencegah kecelakaan yang terjadi akibat kebocoran gas dan bisa melakukan penanganan yang tepat agar kecelakaan tidak terjadi.

Background: Notifiable communicable diseases are a significant public health issue in Iraq, particularly among children.
Aims: This study aimed to comprehensively assess the epidemiological profile of childhood communicable diseases in Babylon Governorate, Iraq, over the period 2017–2021
Methods and Material: Data from 11,925 cases of notifiable communicable diseases were collected from the health department in AL-Hilla City, Iraq, between 2017 and 2021. The data were analysed according to the mode of transmission, type of infection, and age and sex patterns.
Results: The majority of the reported communicable diseases (85.4%) were droplet and airborne infections, with pneumonia being the most frequently reported respiratory infection (76.8%). The reported cases of pertussis, viral meningitis, bacterial meningitis, chickenpox, and mumps showed a significant decrease during the study period, while the incidence of measles had two peaks in 2019 and 2020. Viral hepatitis A and typhoid fever were the most frequently reported foodborne infections. Kala-azar was the most common arthropod-borne infection, while brucellosis and rabies were the most common zoonotic infections. Pneumonia and meningitis affected infants and children aged 1-4 years more commonly than other age groups, while pertussis affected infants and children aged 1-4 years more frequently than other age groups, with a female predominance. Measles affected infants and children aged 1-4 years more commonly than older age groups, with a male predominance.
Conclusions: This study provides a comprehensive overview of the occurrence and trends of notifiable communicable diseases among children in AL-Hilla City, Iraq, between 2017 and 2021. The findings highlight the need for improved surveillance and prevention measures.

Published: January 2024

Candida is a commensal microorganism of the oral cavity and part of the normal microbial flora. Oral carriage of Candida can be influenced by several factors and may lead to the development of oral candidiasis. Oral swabs were collected from 46 onsultants at the stomatology department and then sent to the mycology laboratory for identification of isolates. The specimens were cultured on CandiSelect medium plates as well as on Sabouraud dextrose agar plates containing chloramphenicol. 38% of cultures were positive. Candida albicans was the most encountered specie (87.5% of positive cultures). Oral Candida colonization was more frequent in the following categories of patients: immunocompromised subjects, patients with malignancy, those undergoing chemotherapy, type 2 diabetics patients, smokers, and patients brushing their teeth irregularly (less than twice a day or occasionally). All of these associations were statistically significant. (p <0,05). The diagnosis of oral Candida carriage prior to the presentation of clinical symptoms could prevent patients at risk of serious complications. The promotion of oral health and hygiene education could help stop the spread of yeast colonization.

Authors: Khouri Hala , Hasan Mada Elsheikh
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Infertility is a disease of the male or female reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. In the female reproductive system, infertility may be caused by a range of abnormalities of the ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, and the endocrine system, among others. Infertility can be primary or secondary. Primary infertility is when a pregnancy has never been achieved by a person, and secondary infertility is when at least one prior pregnancy has been achieved. Objectives: Describe the epidemiology of female infertility. Review the most common findings of female infertility. Outline the management for known causes of female infertility. Explain the importance of improving health care coordination among the interprofessional team to enhance and improve outcomes for female infertility patients.

A lymphoma presenting as an ovarian mass with an initial manifestation is unusual and can cause confusion for the clinician, as its presentation may resemble that of other much more common tumors. Malignant lymphoid cells may appear in the ovary either as a primary neoplasm or as a secondary manifestation of an occult or known disseminated disease. The most common presenting signs or symptoms of malignant lymphomas involving the ovaries are abdominal or pelvic pain or a mass. We report a case of bilateral primary Burkitt lymphoma of the ovaries in a 14-year-old girl presenting with abdominal distension, abdominal pain, hematemesis, and melena. Ultrasound and CT imaging suggested a provisional diagnosis of ovarian tumor. The diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma was established by histopathological examination of a biopsy from a digestive thickening. The tumor was classified as Burkitt lymphoma with pleural, intestinal, peritoneal, nodal (coelio-mesenteric), renal, ovarian, and bone involvement with medullary infiltration.
