Begum Rokeya to Arundhati Roy: An Intangible Dream of Woman Emancipation
Authors: Ilahi Adil
Published: February 2024

Both Begum Rokeya's earlier and Arundhati Roy's more recent voices have advocated for women's freedom in essentially the same ways. Although critics have examined how they raise their voices against women’s exploitation, the current situation of women’s suffering when comparing Rokeya and Arundhati’s dreams is not shown. In order to demonstrate a gap in their research, the study compared the conditions of women in Rokeya's literature with the state of current society by discussing Arundhati's works. This essay is written using Begum Rokeya's Sultana's Dream and Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things as primary sources. My attempt in this paper is to demonstrate how Begum Rokeya's vision of women's independence is still a dream by referring to relevant scholarly articles and interpreting the works of Arundhati Roy.
The Impediments to Self-purification: A Review
Authors: Hoque Mohammad Enamul
Published: February 2024

Allah Ta’ala, the creator of the world, created humans as the best creatures in the best creation and gave them freedom of will and action. Man can, if he wishes, keep the creator's creative intention intact by positioning in the seat of the best creature in creation, but if he wishes, he can lower himself to the lowest level. He completely keeps up freedom of will and freedom of action. In this case, action selection is its main driving force. A general man by properly following the path of his God (Allah) can appoint himself to a higher position than the innocent angels. On the other hand, he turns himself into the worst creature in creation like a cursed devils. It is only possible for a Muslim who strictly follows the principles of Islam with a holy soul to find the path of Allah and achieve success. Therefore, it is an essential duty of every Muslim, who strictly follows the principles of Islam, to free themselves from all self-destructive activities. Undoubtedly actual performance of these duties opens the way to self-purification. As a result, he has a pure soul achieves the satisfaction of the Almighty Allah, and owns the highly expected paradise. Besides the root of this success is complete self-purification from all evil deeds and actions. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to make every effort to overcome the obstacles of self-purification identified in the light of the Quran- Hadith.

Over the past few decades, new approaches to health promotion have been developed. The target of health promotion is all ages, including children. Elementary school-age children do not yet know what is good for their physical health, including choosing healthy snacks. Consuming unsafe food can cause health problems in groups of people, leading to increasing health disparities globally. Children buy snacks based on their preferences without paying attention to the food ingredients. Children still have relatively little knowledge about healthy snacks. The aim of this activity is to provide outreach to educate elementary school-age children about healthy snacks and the importance of balanced nutrition. Community service activities were carried out on July 28 2021 from 07.30 WIB to 10.30 WIB in the classrooms of SD Negeri 03 Bukit Tambun Tulang attended by students in grades 4 and 5 and accompanied by teachers. The activity consists of 3 stages, including the preparation stage, followed by the implementation stage, and closing with the evaluation stage. The activity was carried out by the Andalas Nagari IV Koto Hilie University KKN Team which is a collaboration from various departments. It is hoped that the results of this community service can shape students' attitudes and behavior towards improving health, especially in choosing healthy snacks and nutritious food at school and at home. During the implementation of this community service activity, students and teachers actively participated in this activity. Through the evaluation carried out at the end of the event, students and teachers gave positive responses, and it is hoped that similar activities can improve the understanding and skills of teachers and students at SDN 03 Bukit Tambun Tulang.

Published: February 2024

A 12-month-old miniature Schnauzer bitch presented continuous neurologic symptoms such as incoordination, amaurotic blindness, vomiting, and lack of appetite. The suspicion of an extra-hepatic shunt with encephalopathy was confirmed by contrasted mesenteric venous portography. Hemogram, blood biochemistry, albumin, cholesterol, creatinin and total protein levels were not conclusive for the final diagnosis, but a mesenteric splenoportography confirmed the presence of a portosystemic shunt. Since the owner did not authorize surgery, the animal was prescribed ranitidine hydrochloride, silymarin, metronidazole, ampicillin, ursodeoxycholic acid and lactulose, as well as a salt-free diet based on ricotta, rice and carrots for three months. For posterior hepatic housekeeping, the animal was prescribed a homeopathic treatment with silymarin, Carduus marianus and Chelidonium majus. In the four years of treatment the animal did not have any crisis, encephalopathy or any other severe disturbs.

Published: February 2024

This study aims to determine how teachers apply the Role-Playing learning model for teaching speaking of the eight grade students at SMP Muhammadiyah 8 Tanggulangin. In addition, the study also scrutinizes how students perceive if this method is applied in speaking class. Some of the eighth graders still do not master English. The situation is due to several factors from students, such as students' lack of confidence to speak English and lack of vocabulary knowledge, so students feel insecure when they want to speak English. Most of them need help speaking a foreign language since it differs from their everyday language. They need to be more confident in speaking English. In this study, the researchers used qualitative methods to describe the results of their research using observations and interviews. This research shows that teaching speaking with the role-playing model is very effective as a medium for teaching and learning English.

Spatial Dynamics of Theatrical Success: Unveiling the Impact of Performance Venues on Audience Turnout in Lagos Stateof Nigeria
Authors: OKWULOGU  , Maureen
Published: February 2024

In the realm of performing arts, the theatre transcends mere physicality, evolving into a sacred space where shared experiences unfold between thespians and their discerning audience. The sanctity of this exchange is rooted in the symbiotic relationship between the performance and the spectator. This study explores the revered intersection of performance spaces and audience turnout, focusing on Lagos State's vibrant cultural landscape. Despite numerous factors influencing audience attendance, scant scholarly attention has addressed the profound impact of the performance venue itself. This research remedies this gap by applying Alfred Weber's Location Theory and Jerome McCarthy's Four Ps (Product, Place, Promotion, and Price) to unravel the complex variables dictating venue selection. The National Arts Theatre, the MUSON Centre, and Terra Culture serve as distinct performance spaces for our investigation. Through rigorous literature review and astute venue observations, this research unveils nuanced determinants shaping venue selection. It posits that a venue's geographical location and architectural aesthetics are intrinsic determinants in realizing a production's objectives. Findings illuminate a compelling narrative: the performance venue is not a mere backdrop but a protagonist in the drama of audience patronage. Every spatial configuration becomes choreography, orchestrating the audience's journey toward pleasure and satisfaction. The judicious allocation of time, diligence, and resources in this research reflects a commitment to unravelling the intricate tapestry ofspatial dynamics, ensuring each theatrical presentation is a magnum opus of artistic resonance and audience delight. This study is a clarion call for a paradigm shift in the discourse on theatrical success, heralding an era where the venue itself emerges as a pivotal player in the grand symphony of performance art

Purpose: This paper examines the changing patterns of social inequality and stratification in relation to migration, ethnicity, gender, class, and education

Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.

Findings: Changing patterns of social inequality and stratification are influenced by migration, ethnicity, gender, class, and education. Migration can lead to economic disparities for immigrants, either through improved opportunities or exploitation. Ethnicity remains a significant factor, with ethnic minorities facing discrimination and limited access to resources. Gender inequality persists with disparities in pay and leadership roles, while class-based inequality continues through inheritance and income distribution. Access to quality education plays a vital role in social mobility, but disparities in resources and rising tuition costs can limit opportunities.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Intersectionality theory, Human capital theory & Transnationalism theory may be used to anchor future studies on changing patterns of social inequality and stratification in relation to migration, ethnicity, gender, class, and education. Organizations and institutions should implement diversity and inclusion programs that go beyond tokenism. Develop and implement comprehensive immigration reform policies that address the rights and social integration of migrants.
Children's Television and its Effects on LGBTQ Youths’ Identity Milestones, Acceptance, and Comfort in Identity
Authors: Schaefer Ingrid
Published: February 2024

Television has the power to influence and change a viewer's beliefs through the content and characters of a show. This study investigates to what extent the television LGBTQ young adults watched as a child affects their sexuality and gender identity development later on in life. My hypotheses were that watching representative television as a child would increase self-acceptance, lower the age of identity milestones, create positive views on the content of children's television, and increase comfort in identity. This study utilizes a mixed-methods survey for LGBTQ individuals ages 18-21 residing in the US. Using comparisons of means, Spearmans correlational analysis, and analyzing themes, I found no evidence to solidly confirm or deny my hypotheses. Quantitative data does not point towards a relationship between LGBTQ identity development and childhood television, while qualitative results do show that those who watched directly representative television as a child felt more positively about their identity development.
Investigating Effects and Relative Power of Variables in the Epinephrine Signal Transduction Pathway
Authors: Malhotra Varenyam
Published: February 2024

The epinephrine signal transduction pathway is one of the most crucial signaling pathways in the human body. It controls the flight-or-fight response, which enables humans to handle dangerous and often life-threatening situations. This paper seeks to establish which of the pathway’s independent variables are the most powerful, and which are the best for increasing and decreasing specific dependent variables. The chosen computational approach was testing increases in each independent variable and observing the effects on dependent variables using a STELLA Architect model created by Mr. Jon Darkow. The analysis of each test’s graphical results led to conclusions regarding the relative power and effects of several variables in the pathway. I concluded that the most powerful independent variable was the Beta Blocker inhibitor, followed by the KT 5720 inhibitor. Increasing initial ATP amounts was the best solution to increasing cyclic AMP, PKA, and phosphorylase kinase, while increasing the inactive G protein was the preferred means to increase the active G protein and adenylyl cyclase. Finally, the best way to increase glucose and carbon dioxide was to increase initial glycogen amounts. The results of this paper can be applied in a medical context to assist patients with deficiencies or excessive amounts of specific variables involved in this pathway. Furthermore, the analysis and figures provide insight into the effects that increasing an independent variable has on the entire model; this insight renders useful when doctors are ensuring that an increase of one variable will not place another variable beyond its safe bodily limits.

Authors: Baruvoori Nikitha
Published: February 2024

Since its 2020 debut, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the lives of millions. Through the efforts of many researchers, scientists, and medical professionals strategies were developed to control the spread of the virus. Strategies developed included mask mandates, creating reliable testing, social distancing, and vaccination mandates. These strategies all proved to be successful in controlling the spread of the virus, but unfortunately, due to the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, they took time to be developed and were not as effective as they could have been. This resulted in dozens of problems across the world’s economy and politics. To avoid this, in the event of a future pandemic, we should be prepared to quickly develop effective strategies to quickly control the spread of the virus and mitigate the impact of the pandemic. Pandemic prevention strategies include the following: universal contact tracing, quickly creating reliable diagnostic tests and vaccines, constant monitoring of zoonotic pathogens, sufficient funding, and following the pandemic plan already set in place.

Communication styles, as representation of individuals, exhibit the culture of a particular organization or institution. It can be viewed as a process of comprehending the set of attitudes, values, beliefs, and behaviors of each member and, at the same time, shared by everyone in the organization. This study was conducted to determine the communication styles of the non-teaching personnel of St. Paul University Iloilo. Specifically, it determined the profile of the respondents according to sex, age group, and length of service and the predominant communication style among the non-teaching personnel when taken as an entire group and when grouped according to sex, age group, and length of service. The Communication Style Measure constructed by Norton (1983), comprised of 11 styles, was utilized for this study. The results revealed that the 73 non-teaching personnel each utilized different communication styles. The Friendly communication style was regarded as the most predominant approach among the non-teaching personnel when classified as an entire group. When classified according to sex, age group, and length of service, the Friendly communication style still emerged as the most prevailing among the majority of the respondents. It is recommended that the school administrators nurture the amiable and pleasant communication atmosphere that prevails in the workplace. The friendly communication style that occurs in this working environment is an indication of a smooth interaction among its members and a collegial approach in the way the administrative staff and other employees interact with one another. Policies and activities, including the conduct of training programs that would cultivate this setting should be continuously implemented and enhanced.

Inicialmente, será demonstrado que diversas são as formas de coletar dados dos indivíduos. A coleta pelas “coisas” é uma delas. A partir daí, conceituar-se-á internet das coisas como a capacidade de estas (“coisas”) coletarem, armazenarem e enviarem dados a uma central. Essa centralização de armazenamento de dados comporta uma grande quantidade de informações, o que dá origem ao Big Data. Posteriormente, explicar-se-á o alcance atual do direito à privacidade e, também, dos dados (como direitos autônomos) que, uma vez processados, carregam informações de grande valor econômico. Finalmente, será proposto que a extração de dados pessoais, por meio das coisas, exija consentimento prévio e expresso, além de permanecer vinculada à finalidade predeterminada da coleta, respeitando-se, assim, o direito à privacidade e a proteção dos dados pessoais enquanto integrantes de um novo conceito de personalidade do cidadão. Pautado em pesquisa bibliográfica, o estudo utilizará do método dialético para sua estruturação e possíveis conclusões.
Direitos de propriedade intelectual dos países de língua portuguesa: autonomia ou dependência tecnológica?

Desde a criação da Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa (CPLP), nos anos 1990, buscou-se união entre os países-membros para a cooperação nas áreas de educação, saúde, ciência e tecnologia, defesa, agricultura, administração pública, comunicações, justiça, segurança pública, cultura, desporto e comunicação social. Além da língua, esses países ainda têm em comum os menores índices de patentes do mundo, o que os coloca em desvantagem competitiva frente aos países desenvolvidos, ou seja, aqueles detentores dos direitos de propriedade intelectual dos principais produtos tecnológicos do Planeta. Desse modo, o objetivo deste artigo é investigar os direitos de propriedade intelectual dos países de Língua Portuguesa e, se, de fato, estes são detentores de tal conhecimento. Para atingir os objetivos propostos neste trabalho de pesquisa, adotou-se o método genealógico proposto por Nietzsche, combinado com o Hipotético-Dedutivo e Dialético. Como resultados, identificou-se a necessidade de melhorar e potencializar a gestão de patentes, e sugeriu-se o desenvolvimento de estratégias de prospecção de patentes nas universidades brasileiras e centros de pesquisa, considerando-se o uso do aplicativo PROSPECTANTE, além da realização do I Encontro Internacional de Direitos de Propriedade Intelectual dos Países de Língua Portuguesa.
O papel das complementaridades locais na recepção de políticas regulatórias globais: evidências da regulação bancária brasileira e mexicana
Authors: Schapiro Mario G.
Published: February 2024

Este artigo visa a analisar as condições de recepção local de políticas regulatórias globais, com foco no papel desempenhado pelos recursos estatais na recepção de regras prudenciais bancárias internacionais. Essas regras são complexas e de difícil implementação, mas simplesmente rejeitá-las acarreta custos econômicos e riscos, como a ocorrência de crises bancárias. Para analisar como os recursos estatais podem mitigar as complexidades de implementação associadas às regras da Basiléia, este artigo realiza um estudo de caso no Brasil e busca evidências comparáveis no México. Ambos os países têm procurado combinar a adesão às regras prudenciais com medidas estatais compensatórias, particularmente políticas lenientes de concorrência no setor bancário e a oferta de crédito direcionado a setores potencialmente resistentes a regras prudenciais onerosas. O artigo conclui sugerindo que não há antinomia necessária entre as regras do mercado global e os recursos estatais domésticos. Portanto, o Estado tem um papel relevante na criação de condições locais para o acolhimento adequado das regras globais. A revelação dessa complementaridade institucional entre recursos estatais e regras globais é a principal contribuição deste artigo, que, embora focado no setor bancário, oferece elementos de análise para outras políticas igualmente sujeitas a regras globais implementadas localmente.

The development of technology which affects all lines of people's lives means that people have to adapt to these technological developments. In this phenomenon, people are able to utilize technology, such as gadgets, laptops and other technology as tools to help with daily activities. With gadgets, the process of exchanging and disseminating information becomes easier. One of the impacts is a large and massive flood of information, making it difficult for people to digest and verify the various news they receive. The method for implementing this community service activity consisted of observation, design and socialization of digital literacy, as well as monitoring and evaluation. Through this activity, it is hoped that the people of Alam Barajo District would have a better understanding of digital literacy.

Student’s learning achievement is affected by internal and external factors. This study aimed to discover the relationship between self-efficacy and teachers' attitudes with SMP N (State Junior High School) 1 Bantul student learning achievement in English language subjects. The self-efficacy variable is considered the internal factor, while the teacher’s attitude is one of the external factors. This study is quantitative research using the non-experimental research design and correlational approach. The research population involved 320 students of Grade VIII of SMP N 1 Bantul, selected using the cluster random sampling technique. The research data were collected using the self-efficacy scale adapted from Gafoor & Ashraf (2006), the teacher’s attitude scale compiled by Yuzarion (2014), and students’ final semester examination grades from the Even Semester Year 2022/2023. The data analysis technique applied to analyze these data was multiple linear regression using the assistance of the SPSS application. In the minor hypothesis testing, an R-value of .539 was obtained for the self-efficacy variable, and .690 for the teacher attitude variable with a probability value of .000. Based on the results of multiple regression analysis for the major hypothesis, an R-value of .701 was obtained with a probability value of .000. These results mean that there is a strong relationship between self-efficacy and teacher attitudes towards student’s learning achievement. The effective contribution separately for the self-efficacy variable is 8.8% and 40.3% for the teacher attitude variable. The total effective contribution is 49.1%, with the remaining 50.9% influenced by other variables not discussed in this research.
